I haven't seen reordering packets (I did once when I was having a bug in the requeue code, some TCP messages on receiver indicating packets out of order). When a send fails, the packet are requeued in reverse (go to end of the failed skb and traverse back to the failed skb and requeue each skb). Since new inserts go to the end, the queue is guaranteed to be in order.
