Note that in case of persistent pressure and with the device under
flood, 'rx' is not incremented, and this loop can run for an unbound
number of iteration.

If you keep running, you do need to increment 'rx' at every iteration,
even in case of error.

Note that 'rx' is more an estimate of the work done than a 'received
packet counter'.
