It would be interesting to see what will happen if the qdisc is smaller than the socket memory...
As long as the qdisc is able to send at least one MSS at a time, it will eventually clear out the backlog (assuming more isn't added in the meantime). This of course requires you to be using a well-behaved qdisc. But if you're using a broken one, any resulting issues are arguably self-inflicted.
