            Bug ID: 201916
           Summary: mac address does not update when removing the primary
                    iface from a lagg
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: shahark at mellanox.com

When removing the primary iface froma lagg - the mac should update to the mac
address of the next iface in the lagg list.
Currently it happens but not to the one that is now the new primary.

To reproduce:

# ifconfig lagg0 create laggport ifp0 laggport ifp1
# ifconfig lagg0 -laggport ifp0
and look at the macs before and after


The problem is that the code mark the next ifp as primary(@lagg_port_lladdr)
and then skip updating it because it is primary(@lagg_port_setlladdr).

suggested fix:

diff --git a/sys/net/if_lagg.c b/sys/net/if_lagg.c
