I don't know. I have some igb devices nailed down to 100MBit, but I haven't
tested. Since this problem also triggered a problem in SCTP, I looked at
that first and came up with a patch for the drivers to have correctly
in case of drops. However, with my fixes, the mbuf problems went away...

I can revert my patches and try to figure you what is going on... The mbufs
denied counter was already large after a reboot of the system, without any
traffic (SCTP or anything else).
