Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole. Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole. By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.

This wasn't introduced by this patch, but looking at it made me realize that nt->enabled, if it passes through this code path, doesn't properly track weather or not netpoll_setup has been called on this interface. If you look at drop_netconsole_target, you'll see we only call netpoll_cleanup_target if nt->enabled is set. We should probably change the nt->enabled check there, and in store_enabled to be if (nt->np.dev), like we do in the NETDEV_UNREGISTER case in netconsole_netdev_event.

Other than those two points, this looks good to me Thanks! Neil
