Ok yes, it should work (sorry I confused myself a bit, thinking it's 
will be a double completeDescriptor(descriptor) for the same descriptor, 
in case post-processing completes early when main thread reaches this 
line. But I forgot that we are already holding a lock restricted slots 
to run)

We would end up requestComplete() like: https://paste.debian.net/1216820/
