However, +since squashfs will be replaced by erofs, we have transitioned to erofs. The +compression algorithms supported by erofs differ from those used in squashfs. +In previous squashfs implementations, we used zstd compression, but in RHEL-10, +the erofs implementation in the kernel does not yet support zstd decompression. +As a result, we had to switch to other compression algorithms, leading to +changes in the initramfs size. + +In some scenarios, the previous 192M crashkernel reservation is no longer +sufficient. Recent NFS testing has shown that at least 238M is required to +successfully capture a vmcore. Given this, we have updated the default +crashkernel reservation to start from 2G, with 256M allocated for crash +recovery. + +Since 256M is a significant portion of memory on smaller systems, we have +decided not to reserve crashkernel memory by default on systems with less +than 2G of RAM. However, users can still manually adjust the `crashkernel=` +setting via tools like `grubby` if needed. + +Signed-off-by: Lichen Liu +Signed-off-by: Coiby Xu +--- + crashkernel-howto.txt | 2 +- + kdump-lib.sh | 2 +- + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/crashkernel-howto.txt b/crashkernel-howto.txt +index 2e99a34e..bd369cb8 100644 +--- a/crashkernel-howto.txt ++++ b/crashkernel-howto.txt +@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ Latest kexec-tools provides "kdumpctl get-default-crashkernel" to retrieve + the default crashkernel value, + + $ echo $(kdumpctl get-default-crashkernel) +- 1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M ++ 2G-64G:256M,64G-:512M + + It will be taken as the default value of 'crashkernel=', you can use + this value as a reference for setting crashkernel value manually. +diff --git a/kdump-lib.sh b/kdump-lib.sh +index 5bdc4929..143f5056 100755 +--- a/kdump-lib.sh ++++ b/kdump-lib.sh +@@ -1005,7 +1005,7 @@ kdump_get_arch_recommend_crashkernel() + _arch=$(uname -m) + + if [[ $_arch == "x86_64" ]] || [[ $_arch == "s390x" ]]; then +- _ck_cmdline="1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M" ++ _ck_cmdline="2G-64G:256M,64G-:512M" + is_sme_or_sev_active && ((_delta += 64)) + elif [[ $_arch == "aarch64" ]]; then + local _running_kernel +-- +2.48.1 + diff --git a/kdump-utils.spec b/kdump-utils.spec index 2338cd7..854817e 100644 --- a/kdump-utils.spec +++ b/kdump-utils.spec @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ Patch01: 0001-powerpc-fix-early-exit-from-udev-on-hotplug-event-fo.patch Patch02: 0002-99-kdump.conf-Omit-nouveau-and-amdgpu-module.patch Patch03: 0003-99-kdump.conf-Omit-hwdb-dracut-module.patch Patch04: 0004-Check-proc-sys-crypto-fips_enabled-to-tell-if-FIPS-h.patch +Patch05: 0005-kdump-lib.sh-Adjust-default-crashkernel-reservation-.patch %ifarch ppc64 ppc64le Requires(post): servicelog
