We have crashes stemming from this:

panic: ifa_alloc: invalid size 16

panic() at panic+0x43/frame 0xfffffe009e777760
ifa_alloc() at ifa_alloc+0xd6/frame 0xfffffe009e777780
in6_ifadd() at in6_ifadd+0xd8/frame 0xfffffe009e7778a0

fork_exit() at fork_exit+0x82/frame 0xfffffe009e777f30
fork_trampoline() at fork_trampoline+0xe/frame 0xfffffe009e777f30

in6_ifadd has:
                        struct in6_addr taddr;
                        ifa = ifa_alloc(sizeof(taddr), M_WAITOK);

should the assert be simply removed?
