--- Comment #5 from Kristof Provost <kp at freebsd.org> ---
Right, that confirms we're not dealing with a memory leak.
I've had a quick look at the ixgbe/if_ix code. It resets the hardware if you
bring it down, so one possible explanation is that there's something wrong in
the ix driver itself, which causes this.

I might be missing it, but I don't see anything in the bridge code that
responds to bringing a member interface up/down, so right now I consider the ix
driver to be the most likely suspect. I'm afraid I don't know anything about
that hardware.

It might be useful to have a look in dmesg to see if there's anything obvious,
as well as list the exact hardware you have.
