FreeBSD 10-STABLE and CARP states

Hi list,

hopefully this is the right place to have my question regarding CARP on 10-STABLE.

I have two nodes with following setup(node1):

lagg0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9000
	options=8407bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO>
	ether 00:25:90:e3:71:f2
	inet 172.16.0.234 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 172.16.7.255
	inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fee3:71f2%lagg0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
	inet 172.16.0.231 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 172.16.7.255 vhid 201
	inet 172.16.0.233 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 172.16.7.255 vhid 202
	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	media: Ethernet autoselect
	status: active
	carp: BACKUP vhid 201 advbase 1 advskew 1
	carp: BACKUP vhid 202 advbase 5 advskew 100
	laggproto lacp lagghash l2,l3,l4
	laggport: ix1 flags=1c<ACTIVE,COLLECTING,DISTRIBUTING>
	laggport: ix0 flags=1c<ACTIVE,COLLECTING,DISTRIBUTING>

net.inet.carp.preempt=1 on both nodes. as well as PSYNC as this:

pfsync0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> metric 0 mtu 1500
	pfsync: syncdev: vlan22 syncpeer: 10.22.22.2 maxupd: 128 defer: off

The problem is (if it is not clear from the ifconfig-output for the lagg0) the state of VHID 201.
Node2 with advskew of 100 is currently MASTER, but it SHOULD NOT as of setup.

Am I hitting a bug or doing something wrong?

I also have noted that after the pfsync bulk update the demotion counter never setts to 0, but stays on 480,
thus preventing node1 become a MASTER 201(?). Or is this a normal behavior?

Regards,
mxb
