In most cases, it always provides a persistent MAC address. But for
the s390 Arch, sometimes, kernel could run in the LPAR mode and it
doesn't provide a persistent MAC address, which caused the kdump
failure.
Currently, some rules rely on the persistent MAC address, for the
above case, which won't work in kdump kernel because non-persistent
MAC could not match with udev rules.
To fix this issue, need to add a new option 'rd.znet_ifname' in order
to provide extra parameters such as 'ifname' and 'subchannels' for
some rules, which ensures kdump can also work appropriately without
the persistent MAC. Please refer to the following commit in dracut:

If user configured target is used, path should be used as the absolute
path within the dump target direct, and user should be fully aware of
the path structure within the target device. The adjust_bind_mount_path
call here make it very hard to control the behavior.
Especially, if it's a cross device bind mount, this will likely create a
invalid path in the target. And for atomic case, adjust_bind_mount_path call
here assumes user will always pass root device as the explicitly configured
dump target, which is not true.
If user configured target device is used, the path is always be the
absolute path inside of given target. If user don't know about the path
structure in the target device, then user should either use the path
based config, or carefully exam the target device before using it as a
dump target.

By default kernel have vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 0 and large page
allocation might fail as kernel is very conservative on memory
reclaiming. If the page allocation failure is not handled carefully
it could lead to more serious problems.
This issue can be reproduced by change with following steps:
- Fill up page cache use:
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/test bs=1M count=1300
- Now the memory is filled with write cache:
# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1790 184 132 2 1473 1348
Swap: 2119 7 2112
- Insert a module which simply calls "kmalloc(SZ_1M, GFP_KERNEL)" for
512 times: (Notice: vmalloc don't have such problem)
# insmod debug_module.ko
- Got following allocation failure:
insmod: page allocation failure: order:8, mode:0x40cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
- Clean up and repeat again with vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 3, OOM is not
observed.
In kdump kernel there is usually only one online CPU and limited memory,
so we set vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 3 to let kernel reclaim memory more
aggresively to avoid such issue.

There is currently only one caller of kdump_setup_netdev, the iscsi

When someone is using a minimal kernel without squash module installed,

As kdump always build the image for one single kernel, we can safely just
use modprobe to check if a modules is already built in, or it exists and
loadable for the kernel we are using for kdump image, and don't include
the squash module if they are missing. Everything will still work just
fine without squash module.
We do the check in kdump dracut modules not in squash dracut module
because kdump dracut module could leverage of the KDUMP_KERNELVER variable
to know which kernel it should check against, squash dracut module may be
used to build for a generic image.
And we only check for the kernel module dependency, other binary

Introduce tri-state hostonly mode
multipath-hostonly module was introduced only for kdump, because kdump
need a more strict hostonly policy for multipath device to save memory.
Now multipath module will provide the behave we wanted by setting
hostonly mode to strict.
Kdump always use _proto=dhcp for both ipv4 and ipv6. But for ipv6
the dhcp address assignment is not like ipv4, there are different ways
for it, stateless and stateful, see below document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPv6Guide
In case stateless, kernel can do the address assignment, dracut use
_proto=auto6; for stateful case, dracut use _proto=dhcp6.
But it is hard to decide whether stateless or stateful takes effect,
hence, dracut introduces ip=either6 option, which can try both of these
method automatically for us. For detail, refer to dracut:
commit 67354ee 40network: introduce ip=either6 option
We do not see bug reports before because for the most auto6 cases
kernel assign ip address before dhclient, kdump just happened to work.

Currently, systemd uses 90s as the default mount unit timeout
(see "man 5 systemd-system.conf " for "DefaultTimeoutStartSec"),
in some cases, although it works well in 1st kernel, it's not
enough under kdump and results in mount timeout, further results
in kdump dumping failure.
We've met several such issues, we decided to enlarge this default
value a little for kdump.
We know that dracut has a default initqueue timeout value of 180s
("rd.retry"), we finalized a little larger value 300s as kdump's
default timeout if there is no explicit "DefaultTimeoutStartSec=X,
specified by users.
"DefaultTimeoutStartSec=X" can be overridden by individual mount
option "x-systemd.device-timeout=X", users can specify their own
values as needed.
This patch achieves the purpose by creating a dedicated conf file
"/etc/systemd/system.conf.d/kdump.conf" which has the content of
"DefaultTimeoutStartSec=300s", this is based on the fact that all
the conf files will be parsed by systemd and the last parsed one
will be used if there are duplicate definitions.

After some debugging, found it due to a misuse in code below:
if [ is_generic_fence_kdump -o is_pcs_fence_kdump ]; then

The "if" condition always results in "true", and should be
changed as follows:

After this, network won't be involved in non-network dumping,
as for dumpings require network such as nfs/ssh/iscsi/fcoe/etc,
dracut will add network accordingly. And kdump initramfs size
can be reduced from 24MB to 17MB tested on some real hardware,

Since the current dracut of Fedora already supports not always
mounting root device, we can remove "root=X" from the command
line directly, and always get the dump target specified in
"/etc/kdump.conf" and mount it. If the dump target is located
at root filesystem, we will add the root mount info explicitly
from kdump side instead of from dracut side.
For example, in case of nfs/ssh/usb/raw/etc(non-root) dumping,
kdump will not mount the unnecessary root fs after this change.
This patch removes "root=X" via the "KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_REMOVE"
(if "default dump_to_rootfs" is specified, don't remove "root=X"),
and mounts non-root target under "/kdumproot", the root target
still under "/sysroot"(to be align with systemd sysroot.mount).
After removing "root=X", we now add root fs mount information
explicitly from the kdump side.
Changed check_dump_fs_modified() a little to avoid rebuild when
dump target is root, since we add root fs mount explicitly now.

[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Emergency Mode.
This is because in case of root failure, initrd-root-fs.target
will trigger systemd emergency target which requires the systemd
emergency service actually is kdump-emergency.service, then our
kdump-emergency.service starts kdump-error-handler.service with
"systemctl isolate"(see 99kdumpbase/kdump-emergency.service, we
replace systemd's with this one under kdump).
This will lead to systemd two contradictable jobs queued as an
atomic transaction:
job 1) the emergency service gets started by initrd-root-fs.target
job 2) the emergency service gets stopped due to "systemctl isolate"
thereby throwing "Transaction is destructive".
In order to solve it, we can utilize "IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" for both
kdump-emergency.service and kdump-emergency.target. Unit with attribute
"IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" won't be stopped when isolating another unit,
they can keep going as expected in case be triggered by any failure.
We add kdump-emergency.target dedicated to kdump the similar way
as did for kdump-emergency.service(i.e. will replace systemd's
emergency.target with kdump-emergency.target under kdump), and
adds "IgnoreOnIsolate=yes" into both of them.

[bhe: improve the patch log about IgnoreOnIsolate="]
We replace "reserved_memory = XXXX"(default value is 8192) with
"reserved_memory = 1024" in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf used by "lvm2", it
can save 7MB peak memory consumption, so lower the possibility of
OOM under kdump.
For kdump, we don't have too many lvm targets, lvm2 locates in the
RAM(rootfs), so don't need that much memory, as discussed with lvm
people, they agreed that we use 1MB under kdump as long as there
are not that many lvm targets invloved.
We modify /etc/lvm/lvm.conf when "99kdumpbase" install() is executed,
because it is parsed after "90lvm" by dracut.
We add the code unconditionally with &>/dev/null to ignore errors, it
doesn't matter in case of "lvm" not included(i.e. there is no lvm.conf).

Although we use by-id in mkdumprd as persistent policy for the dump target
checking, finally it is not used in kdump 2nd kernel because we call dracut
function in module-setup.sh without persistent policy specified that means
kdump will copy default "by-uuid" dev name.
Though by-uuid usually works and it is still better to fix it as raw disk
uuid make no sense.
Also do not need to call bind mount adjust function for raw dump, here add
another switch case for raw dump and cleanup the functions with short
variable names to keep code shorter.

When a remote dump target is specified, kdump dracut module prefixes
'kdump-' to network interface name (ifname) as kernel assigned names
are not persistent. In fadump mode, kdump dracut module is added to
the default initrd, which adds the 'kdump-' prefix to the ifname of
the prodcution kernel itself. If fadump mode is disabled after this,
kdump dracut module picks the ifname that is already prefixed with
'kdump-' in the production kernel and adds another 'kdump-' to it,
making the ifname something like kdump-kdump-eth0 for kdump kernel.
Eventually, kdump kernel fails with below traces:
dracut-initqueue[246]: RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
dracut-initqueue[246]: arping: Device kdump-kdump-eth0 not available.
The ip command shows the below:
kdump:/# ip addr show kdump-kdump-eth0
2: kdump-kdump-eth: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 \
qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000

The trailing 0 from kdump-kdump-eth0 is missing in the ifname, probably
truncated owing to ifname length limit, while setting.
This patch fixes this by avoiding addition of the prefix 'kdump-' when
such prefix is already present in the ifname.

There are some complaints about nfs kdump that users must mount
nfs beforehand, which may cause some overhead to nfs server.
For example, there're thounsands of diskless clients deployed with
nfs dumping, each time the client is boot up, it will trigger
kdump rebuilding so will mount nfs, thus resulting in thousands
of nfs request concurrently imposed on the same nfs server.
We introduce a new way of specifying mount information via the
already-existent "dracut_args" directive(so avoid adding extra
directives in /etc/kdump.conf), we will skip all the filesystem
mounting and checking stuff for it. So it can be used in the
above-mentioned nfs scenario to avoid severe nfs server overhead.
Specifically, if there is any "--mount" information specified via
"dracut_args" in /etc/kdump.conf, always use it as the final mount
without any validation(mounting or checking like mount options,
fs size, etc), so users are expected to ensure its correctness.
NOTE:
-Only one mount target is allowed using "dracut_args" globally.
-Dracut will create <mountpoint> if it doesn't exist in kdump kernel,
<mountpoint> must be specified as an absolute path.
-Users should do a test first and ensure it works because kdump does
not prepare the mount or check all the validity.

There are several kinds of iSCSI mode rhel support currently.
- Pure hardware iSCSI
- iBFT iSCSI
- Pure software iSCSI
Except for the 1st one that firmware takes care of everything to
make it behave like a local disk, both iBFT and pure software iSCSI
mode need pass information to kdump kernel for configuring them
correctly.
Currently kdump takes iBFT mode as a software iSCSI and collects
the related information to set up software iSCSI in 2nd kernel,
though dracut can detect and collect information to set up iBFT
iSCSI of 2nd kernel. This brings up 2 problems:
1) Redundent information about the related iSCSI is collected. One
is done by kdump, the other is from dracut.
2) These 2 sessions of 2nd kernel for a certain session of 1st kernel
could contain two "ip=xxx" cmdline option. This will cause cmdline
handling error in dracut.
The 1st one is not critical while the 2nd is. In order to avoid above
2 problems, kdump need detect iBFT mode iSCSI and leave it to dracut.
This is what is done in this patch.
