There are many places we currently do not check on mbuf _append() return. Notably as there are many cases where the mbuf structure may not be a genuine mbuf. Ie. when the size may actually not be compatible with mbuf structure (much larger than max supported size). 
In the case when we know the size is bounded in a way that it would be implemented as true mbuf (HARQ circular buffer whose max size is 66 x 384) then we can do an explicit check. 
For other case we manipulate them as mbuf when relevant but still don’t impose the assumption and limitation to have an underlying real mbuf. Keep in mind we do not process packets but perform signal processing (some memory can be extremely large).
