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.

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.

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.

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.

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

fi
The "if" condition always results in "true", and should be
changed as follows:
if is_generic_fence_kdump -o is_pcs_fence_kdump; then
_dep="$_dep network"

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.

dump target is root, since we add root fs mount explicitly now.

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

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.

The ifcfg file name of <netif> under "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/"
may not be "ifcfg-<netif>". For example, for "enp0s25" we are able to
generate its ifcfg like "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s25test"
via network-manager. If we alway assume "ifcfg-<netif>" is there, we will
got the wrong result in some cases.
The issue can be resolved by using the new get_ifcfg_filename() introduced
by PATCH "kdump-lib: Add get_ifcfg_filename() to get the proper ifcfg file",
so we hereby change all the "ifcfg-<netif>" users to use get_ifcfg_filename().

Dracut will die in the situation that dracut detects to use dhcp to
setup ip address, but kdump passes the ip address to it.
In commit 7ea50dc7a3, we start to use
option permanent to get the ip address in kdump_static_ip. If the
network is setuped by static, we will get the ip address, otherwise
getting none.
In commit c994a80698 which it used to
support ipv6 protocol, I miss the option permanent.
This patch is not a fixing patch, just pulls back something to make
kdump work as original.

Kdump will parse the hostname to get the ip address, if hostname is
specfied in /etc/kdump.conf. We will get the ip address(ipv4 or ipv6,
according to the DNS server) by using "getent hosts".
For now, it is more reasonable that we shall get all of the ip
address(including ipv4 and ipv6 address) which point to the hostname by
using "getent ahosts". And we will prefer to use the ipv4 address, if
both ipv4 and ipv6 address work.
The reason why we choose the ipv4 as preferred address is to solve the
issue kdump will fail to connect the hostname machine(parsed as ipv6
address), due to the DNS server is ipv4 address in 2nd kernel.
