Pingfan Liu eaf0e813a2 dracut-module-setup.sh: use auto6 for ipv6
The parameter either6 is introduced to dracut by
commit 67354eebbcd4c358b8194ba5fd1ab1cf7dbd42aa
Author: Pingfan Liu <piliu@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 24 16:41:21 2018 +0800

    40network: introduce ip=either6 option

But it turns out needless.

On a sensible ipv6 network environment, DHCPv6 can not work properly alone,
because DHCPv6 protocol has no info about the gateway.

An reasonalbe process of ipv6 address set up should look like
   host send: Router Solicitation
   router reply: Router Advertisements

"Router Advertisements" carries many info like gateway, and if it has
other-config flag set, it carries DNS info etc.  As for DHCPv6 address
allocation, it will only start if "Router Advertisements" has the 'managed'
flag set, which directs the host to start a stateful address allocation
from DHCPv6 server.

For more info:
rfc4861: Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
rfc5175: IPv6 Router Advertisement Flags Option

The dracut module is opportunistic about using the built-in squashfs
support only when available, but the spec file hard requires it. Demote
it to a weak dep to truly make it optional.

This caters to environments which strive to stay minimal, like FCOS and
RHCOS. See https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/708 for

Lianbo Jiang ce0305d4f9 Add a new option 'rd.znet_ifname' in order to use it in udev rules
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:

Kairui Song 3b09c4910d Remove adjust_bind_mount_path call
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.

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

Kairui Song 5633e83318 Always set vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 3 in kdump kernel
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.

Kairui Song 5e76e53a70 module-setup.sh: Simplify the network setup code
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.

Just merge kdump_setup_netdev into kdump_install_net and always use

Pingfan Liu 88bbab963f dracut-module-setup.sh: skip alias of localhost in get_pcs_fence_kdump_nodes()
The current code only exclude the hostname, while localhost can have alias in
/etc/hosts. All of the alias should be excluded from the fence dump node to
avoid deadlock issue.

Kairui Song cf5d362dca dracut-module-setup.sh: Don't use squash module for fadump
Squash module is used to save memory. For fadump this is not neccessary
and may slow down the build time, and make it more fragile.

fadump initramfs is used for normal boot as well, although squash module
is capable of being used for generic normal boot, but there are cases
where is doesn't work well. So disable it and make fadump more robust.

Kairui Song 5b26c1f8b2 Forward logs in kdump kernel to console directly
Don't use any log storage and forward to console directly, this make
console output more useful, and also save more memory. On a fresh
installed Fedora 30 it saved ~5M of memory, and the amount of log being
printed to console is still accetable.

Kairui Song 75d9132417 Get rid of duplicated strip_comments when reading config
When reading kdump configs, a single parsing should be enough and this
saves a lot of duplicated striping call which speed up the total load
speed.

Speed up about 2 second when building and 0.1 second for reload in my
tests.

Kairui Song 4a44eee472 dracut-module-setup: Don't build squashed image if required modules are missing
When someone is using a minimal kernel without squash module installed,
including squash dracut module will either either fail to build or fail to
boot the initramfs.

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
dependencies are either well checked or well declared in dracut.

Kairui Song a0dc92f46c dracut-module-setup: Fix routing failure on multipath route
Currently we still don't support multipath route, when parsing multipath
route kdumpctl will wrongly consider 'nexthop' as the destination address,
and raise errors in second kernel.

When multipath route is in use, ip route output should be like this:
$ /sbin/ip route show
default via 192.168.122.1 dev ens1 proto dhcp metric 100
192.168.122.0/24 dev ens1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.161 metric 100
192.168.122.8
	nexthop via 192.168.122.1 dev ens1 weight 50
	nexthop via 192.168.122.2 dev ens1 weight 5

As we don't care about HA/performance, simply use the rule with highest
weight and ignore the rest.

Kairui Song 9b6e312447 Enable dracut squash module
In dracut-049, a new squash module is introduced, it can reduce the
memory usage of kdump initramfs in the capture kernel, this helps a lot
on lowering the risk of OOM failure.

Tested with latest rawhide with NFS, SSH and local dump.
