Hi,

we have setup a bridge with vether0 and run the standard dhcpd attached
to vether0. After a short time of usage I noticed that the system is
running out of mbuf clusters.

It looks like this setup is leaking mbuf's. Each bootp request which
is forwarded via the bridge - vether0 to the dhcpd leaks one mbuf.
If the dhcpd is *not* running, the leaking stops immediately.

This occurs under 4.8 and current. I can reproduce this behavior on
two systems.

I was starring about 4 hours on the bridge / vether / udp_input code but
can not find the leak.

Any hints which functions/code should be inspected deeply to find the leak?
