            Bug ID: 274028
           Summary: ng_bridge fails to learn MAC addresses if link is in
                    different VNET
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dpslavov@hotmail.com

In data receive method when MAC address save is requested a false assumption is
made that "curthread" is in same VNET as node, which of course is not always
true. For example eiface is attached to a bridge and moved to different VNET:

kldload ng_ether
ngctl -f - << EOF
mkpeer vtnet0: bridge lower uplink1
name vtnet0:lower switch0
mkpeer switch0: eiface link0 ether
EOF
jail -c path=/ vnet=new vnet.interface=ngeth0 persist host.hostname=test
name=test exec.start="sh -c 'ifconfig ngeth0 inet 192.168.1.123/24; ifconfig
ngeth0 up'"
jexec test ping -c 1 192.168.1.254
ngctl msg switch0: gettable
ngctl msg switch0: getstats 0

In this case failures are recorded as "memoryFailures".
