Does anybody have any advice about how to track down an mbuf data corruption panic?
FWIW, I finally stopped looking at my receive routine, and found a bug in my transmit routine that explained the problem. I was (rarely) calling mbuf_pullup() and erroneously retaining the original, not the new, mbuf in my transmit data structures. This presumably caused the original mbuf to be freed twice (once a bit later by transmit done interrupt routine, and previously by mbuf_pullup()). Rarely, I'd get a "freeing free mbuf" panic, and more often the frees would happen far enough apart that somebody else had allocated it, and things went downhill fast.
