The dracut initqueue may quit immediately and won't trigger any hook if
there is no "finished" hook still pending (finished hook will be deleted
once it return 0).
This issue start to appear with latest dracut, latest dracut use
network-manager to configure the network,
network-manager module only install "settled" hook, and we didn't
install any other hook. So NFS/SSH dump will fail. iSCSI dump works
because dracut iscsi module will install a "finished" hook to detect if
the iscsi target is up.
So for NFS/SSH we keep initqueue running until the host successfully get
a valid IP address, which means the network is ready.

For ssh/nfs dump, kdump need the 'ip' tool to get the host ip address
for naming the vmcore. But kdump-module-setup.sh never installed this
tool. kdump-module-setup.sh worked so far as dracut network module will
help install it.
After dracut changed to use 35network-manager for network setup, "ip"
command won't be installed in second kernel by default. So need to
ensure "ip" is installed when installing kdump dracut module.

Currently "systemctl --fail --no-block default" will be executed on
kdump-error-handler exit due to the config. This may makes systemd try
to isolate to the default target again.
The execute chain will be like:
initrd.target -> kdump.sh (failed) -> kdump-error-handler.service ->
failure_action -> final_action -> ExecStopPost (go to initrd.target again)
Currently, reboot/shutdown/halt is called by either by executing
failure_action or final_action. So the loop will be stopped. However
nont of the reboot/shutdown/halt call is blocking so it might lead to
race issue.
Just drop the ExecStopPost to fix this potential issue.

Previously dracut_args is stored as an array in the shell code,
so we can just pass this array as argument to dracut.
But when trying to append new dracut argument, we have to manually
handle the quotes and spaces to ensure the appended argument is
splitted into array elements in the right way.
This is complex and hard to read or maintain. Instead, just store the
dracut_args as a plain string, and let xargs help parse it and call
dracut.
Simply passing $dracut_args or "$dracut_args" will either let dracut
consider the whole string as a single argument, or loss all the
quotes. xargs can handle it well and cover more corner cases.
Eg. one corner case before, if we have:
dracut_args --mount "/dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Kdump will fail, because the function add_dracut_arg() will wrongly
change the arguments into: (Notice the extra space.)
dracut_args --mount " /dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Instead of fixing it just use xargs instead. Tested with above config
and multiple other dracut_args values.

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.

When large amount of memory, about 1TB, is removed with DLPAR memory
remove operation, kdump reload could fail due to race condition with
device tree property update. In such scenario, the subsequent kdump
reload requests would also fail as reload() only proceeds if current
load status is active. Since the possibility of this race condition
couldn't be wished away due to the nature of the scenario, workaround
it by proceeding to load even if current load status is not active as
long as kdump service is active, which kdump udev rules already check
for.

Merge kdump_setup_netdev into kdump_install_net.
kdump_install_net is a wrapper of calling kdump_setup_netdev, and
it do following three extra things:
1. Sanitize and resolve the hostname
2. Resolve the route to the destination
3. Set the default gateway for once
There is currently only one caller of kdump_setup_netdev, the iscsi
network setup code, and it's doing 1 and 2 by itself. And there should
only be one default gateway in kdump enviroment, so applying 3 here is
fine.
And the comment of kdump_install_net is wrong and obsoleted, update the
comment too.

For fadump, this helps to reduce the risk of boot failure, and
may also help speed up the boot by a bit.
For normal kdump, this will delay the dump target mounting, and no

bug with kernel and systemd that is failing the system booting:
[FAILED] Failed to mount /kdumproot/home.

[PATCH] Fix inconsistent return value from find_vmemmap()
When -e option is given, the find_vmemmap() returns FAILED(1) if
it failed on x86_64, but on architectures other than that, it is
stub_false() and returns FALSE(0).
if (info->flag_excludevm) {
if (find_vmemmap() == FAILED) {
ERRMSG("Can't find vmemmap pages\n");
#define find_vmemmap() stub_false()
As a result, on the architectures other than x86_64, the -e option
does some unnecessary processing with no effect, and marks the dump
DUMP_DH_EXCLUDED_VMEMMAP unexpectedly.
Also, the functions for the -e option return COMPLETED or FAILED,
which are for command return value, not for function return value.
So let's fix the issue by following the common style that returns
TRUE or FALSE, and avoid confusion.

is converted to :
":,downdelay=0 miimon=100 mode=802.3ad updelay=0 "

If dump target is ipv6 address, a host should have ipv6 address ready
before starting kdump service. Otherwise, kdump service fails to start due
to the failure "ssh dump_server_ip mkdir -p $SAVE_PATH".
And user can see message like:
"Could not create root@2620:52:0:10da:46a8:42ff:fe23:3272/var/crash"
I observe a long period (about 30s) on some machine before they got ipv6
address dynamiclly, which is never seen on ipv4 host.
Hence kdump service has a dependency on ipv6 address. But there is no good
way to resolve it. One way is asking user to run the cmd "nmcli connection
modify eth0 ipv6.may-fail false". But this will block systemd until ipv6
address is ready. Despite doing so, kdump can try its best (wait 1 minutes
after it starts up) before failure.
How to implement the wait is arguable. It will involve too many technique
details if explicitly waiting on ipv6 address, instead, just lean on 'ssh'
return value to see the availability of network.
