From: Breno Leitao <[email protected]> When the low level interface brings a netconsole target down, record this using a new STATE_DEACTIVATED state. This allows netconsole to distinguish between targets explicitly disabled by users and those deactivated due to interface state changes.
It also enables automatic recovery and re-enabling of targets if the underlying low-level interfaces come back online. >From a code perspective, anything that is not STATE_ENABLED is disabled. Devices (de)enslaving are marked STATE_DISABLED to prevent automatically resuming as enslaved interfaces cannot have netconsole enabled.
