if_em memleak with IPv6 ?

[Martin Blapp]

Hi,

With a new Kernel and some tweaks (PREEMPTION) disabled I can let
our 2CPU IBM server running about one hour, and then I get:

ping: sendto: No buffer space available

and the box disappears from net ...

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        inet 157.161.9.17 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 157.161.9.255
        inet6 fe80::209:6bff:fe89:869e%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 2001:4060:1:1001:209:6bff:fe89:869e prefixlen 64 autoconf
        ether 00:09:6b:89:86:9e
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

After a few tests I found out that our network guy has set up some IPv6
entries in the dns. And of course they were used by milter-connects ..

After reverting everything back to IPv4, the "No buffer space available"
seems to be gone.

Maybe this is related to some other problem with this driver, (IPSEC etc).
