Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: open-iscsi

When any interface that is not named "lo" is brought up or down, it will
cause open-iscsi to restart. This is regardless of if the interface has
anything to do with iSCSI traffic, which can cause problems for LUNs
still in use.

The fragment of the script /etc/init.d/open-iscsi that causes this is
near the top:

# Support for ifupdown script.
# Don't bother to restart when lo is configured.
if [ "$IFACE" = lo ]; then
        exit 0
fi

Restricting restarts purely for the loopback interface is not
sufficient, although adequately determining if a restart is actually
required may be somewhat tricky. Sadly I have no suggestions for a
solution at the moment.
