But I think the real bug here is in ip_reass because it doesn't properly get rid of the pkthdr of the fragments while creating the reassembled datagram. cxgbe happens to trip on this easily because it often creates !WRITEABLE mbufs. This should fix it: https://people.freebsd.org/~np/ip_reass_demotehdr.diff It will also fix leaks in configurations where mbuf tags are in use by default (for example with MAC), ip_reass is involved during rx, and the mbuf chain never gets m_demote'd elsewhere (meaning ip_reass should have freed the tags itself).
