I'd prefer cmd_id_active but it's not critical.

why is EIO special? I think you should special-case EINTR maybe.

What happens on failure? Don't we need to detach anyway?

This isn't all that happens here. It also waits for buffers to
be consumed. Is this by design? And why is it good idea to
busy poll while doing it?

Better move this return outside. Fall through to error is confusing.
