Currently we have two issues against mounting filesystems by systemd.
1. If any failure in sysroot.mount, initrd.target won't be reached.
2. If any failure in mounting /etc/fstab, initrd.target won't be reached
Our kdump.sh is in dracut-pre-pivot hook which is ordered after
initrd.target. That means if systemd doesn't reach initrd.target,
pre-pivot service will not run.
Based on above, we can conclude that in order to run kdump.sh,
initrd.target must be reached.
To fix issue 1), we can add rootflags=nofail to 2nd kernel cmdline, so
that initrd.target will not require sysroot.mount. initrd.target
wouldn't care about the failures in sysroot.mount. That means
initrd.target can always be reached whether or not sysroot.mount fails.
So when initrd.target is reached, kdump.sh can be run.
To fix issue 2), we can append "nofail" mount options to every entry in
/etc/fstab. It has almost the same affects as to sysroot.mount.
initrd.target can be reached whether or not mount /etc/fstab fails. So
when initrd.target is reached, kdump.sh can be run.
If the mount failures block kdump from working properly (for example,
the dump target isn't mounted), the error handling will be done by
"default" action specified in /etc/kdump.conf. Otherwise kdump will
ignore the mount failures and dump as expected.

Currently in the whole kdump framework, we have some common functions
used across not only mkdumprd context and dracut context, but also 1st
kernel and 2nd kernel. We defined these functions at each script, which
is obviously not decent.
So let's introduce kdump-lib.sh for the shared functions and put it
to /lib/kdump/kdump-lib.sh.
It starts small, as you can see, only 3 functions are extracted. But in
the future more and more common functions can be added.

Currently some functions are used in subshell to assign string to a
variable. For example:
_mnt=$(to_mount "$1")
In this case if we call perror_exit in the subshell, subshell will exit
1, but the parent process (mkdumprd) won't exit.
So we should handle the exit code of a subshell if the subshell calls
perror_exit over a failure.

mkdumprd call dracut to rebuilding kdump initrd, sometimes passing extra
dracut args is helpful. For example user can enable debug output with
--debug, --printsize to print roughly increased initramfs size by each module,
--omit-drivers to omit kernel modules, etc.
This patch enables dracut_args option for passing extra args to dracut.
Also it modifies add_dracut_arg() to treat a string with-in quote as single
string because for dracut options which has its own args, the args need to be
quoted and space seperated.
If add_dracut_arg() gets an string read from kdump.conf and if that string
contains double quotes, then while converting to positional parameters
those double quotes are not interpreted. Hence if /etc/kdump.conf contains
following.
dracut_args --add-drivers "driver1 driver2"
then add_dracut_args() sees following positional parameters
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1
$3= driver2"
Notice, double quotes have been ignored and parameters have been broken
based on white space.
Modify add_dracut_arg() to look for parameters starting with " and
if one is found, it tries to merge all the next parameters till one
is found with ending double quote. Hence effectively simulating
following behavior.
$1= --add-drivers
$2= "driver1 driver2"
[v1->v2]: address quoted substring in dracut_args, also handle the leading
and ending spaces in substring.
[v2->v3]: fix dracut arguments seperator in kdump.conf.
[v3->v4]: improve changelog, thanks vivek.
[v4->v5]: make the manpage more verbose [vivek].
Tested with below dracut_args test cases:

2. dracut_args --add-drivers " pcspkr virtio_net " --omit-drivers "sdhci-pci hid-logitech-dj e1000"

Some Smart Array (hpsa/cciss) adapters don't support reset, we need
to disable kdump on those devices, like rhel6 did.
In this patch, the dump target is checked according to below
criteria if it's a block device.
If it's cciss disk but is resettbale, can be used as dump target.
If it's cciss disk but is not resettable, can not be used as dump
target.
If it's cciss disk and not resettable, but user set OVERRIDE_RESETTABLE
to 1 in /etc/sysconfig/kdump, can be taken as dump target. Because
user know the situation and want to have a try.
In this patch, added codes include 4 parts:
1)Add an option "override_resettable <0 | 1>" into kdump.conf, and
add related section into kdump.conf man page. In mkdumprd, will check
whether user has set a value, get that value if yes. By default, the
value is 0.
2)port utility functions from dracut-functions.sh.
3)The check_resettable function checks if dump target is a resettable
block device. This includes the case where default action dump_to_rootfs
is set.

We need fs dump target being mounted firstly before creating mkdumprd
This is because we want to get the mount options from kernel mountinfo
instead of simply mount it without considering mount options.
To avoid the filesystem being used by something other than kdump we
suggest them to mount it as 'ro', mkdumprd will remount it as 'rw' when
necessary and remount it back to 'ro'

ssh will send local stdin input to remote side, this cause trouble
when we call ssh in the loop of parsing kdump.conf.
Ie. if we specify both 'ssh' and 'core_collector' option in kdump.conf,
and put 'core_collector' behind 'ssh', there will be no chance to
handle 'core_collector' because in get_ssh_size() ssh eat all the later
input of the while loop.

BZ: 817044
Harald suggested that we use --add kdumpbase instead of -m kdumpbsae. As
-m means only use modules specified on the command line. I am not sure
that kdump will ever know the list of modules it wants to use. It might
be a good idea to let dracut decide it based on --mount option.
Also start using --hostonly to make sure atleast our default dumping to
root disk always works.
I also noticed that with --add and --hostonly initramfs size came down. So
for the time being just bring down the initramfs size.
But it still looks big and this area will require more experimentation and
bug fixing to make sure we are generatiing optimal size images for kdump
purposes and get rid of bloat. I am just beginning to understand dracut,
so expect more churn in this area down the line from me.
I am posting this patch for the bz opened again F18. As it is reducing
initramfs size significantly, I think it is a good idea to commit it
in F17 branch also.
Following is image size comparision.
