Bug #3032: IPFW3: memory leakage? objcache(xxx): Exhausted!

----------------------------------------
Recently, I setup a small VPS (512MB RAM) with DFly(v4.8)+Nginx+Postfix+Dovecot services as my personal email server, and configured IPFW3 as the firewall.  However, the system hang/freeze with these warnings after some time, and can only be reset:

------------------------------------------------------
Warning, objcache(mbuf pkt hdr): Exhausted!
Warning, objcache(mbuf pkt hdr + cluster): Exhausted!
------------------------------------------------------

The VPS can run rather smoothly without IPFW3 enabled.  So I tried to monitor the mbuf usages reported by "netstat -m", and found the "mbufs in use" was continuously increasing, and therefore, the mbufs are exhausted finally which freeze the whole system!!

======================================================

In addition, I tried to reproduce the IPFW3 problem in my home NAS (DFly master at 2017-02-24, 8GB RAM, Nginx+ownCloud+PostgreSQL+transmission bt), and the system just paniced with following messages:

------------------------------------------------------

Dumping 3889 MB:Warning, objcache(cluster mbuf): Exhausted!
------------------------------------------------------

For unknown reason, I failed to get a core dump.  I set "debug.debugger_on_panic=0" and have a 16GB swap partition (dm_crypt).

An example "netstat -m" report looks like:
------------------------------------------------------
202336/293376 mbufs in use (current/max):
522/17248 mbuf clusters in use (current/max)
0/8368 mbuf jumbo clusters in use (current/max)
        202839 mbufs and mbuf clusters allocated to data
        19 mbufs and mbuf clusters allocated to packet headers
102212 Kbytes allocated to network (56% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
------------------------------------------------------

With IPFW3 enabled, the above "mbufs in use" keeps increasing!  Flushing the firewall rules does not help either.
I also tried to *disable* the IPFW3 by setting "net.inet.ip.fw3.enable=1", and the mbuf usages *stop increase* (but don't decrease either).

Therefore, I suspect there may be *memory leakages* within IPFW3??

What's additional information can I provide to help solve this problem?


Cheers,
Aly


P.S., my IPFW3 rules (example output of "ipfw3 show"):
