This is probably because the ST driver releases the DMA buffers before 
you have
handled the data. It tries to do zero copy, but does it wrong.

The ST provided lwIP drivers and their Ethernet HAL driver are known to 
be buggy,
although things may have improved with newer STM32CubeMX releases. 
Please don't
blame lwIP. If you are using the newest ST software and it's still 
buggy, please
contact ST for support.

We have lwIP running stable and without any issues on STM32H7 for years 
now,
but we wrote our own lwIP ethernet driver and fixed ST's HAL Ethernet 
driver.
