Not reproducible.

$ ipables-save -c
[66041:2794275493] -A INPUT -i br0 -m physdev --physdev-in eth0

... so br-netfilter is active (else physdev would not work). No leaks
after multiple netperf runs.

I'm on

c74386d50fbaf4a54fd3fe560f1abc709c0cff4b ("afs: Fix missing timeout reset").

Simple bridge with two ethernet interfaces (no vlans or netns for instance).

Does your setup use any other settings (ethtool, sysctl, qdiscs, tunnels
and the like)?

Thanks.
