There is a race issue between "pcs" and "kdumpctl restart"
-1. set up cluster
# pcs cluster setup --start mycluster node1 node2
# pcs stonith create kdump fence_kdump pcmk_reboot_action="off"
# pcs stonith level add 1 node1 kdump
# pcs stonith level add 1 node2 kdump
-2. Then here comes the command _immediately_ in kdumpctl
# pcs cluster cib
But due to some pcs internal mechanism, "pcs cluster cib" can not
fetch the updated info in time.
Fix these issue by forcing the upgrade of cib.

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.

kdump_install_net is a wrapper of calling kdump_setup_netdev, and

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

only be one default gateway in kdump enviroment, so applying 3 here is

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

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"
fi
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,
and from 19MB to 14MB on my kvm. Moreover, it could avoid the

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.

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

function in module-setup.sh without persistent policy specified that means
kdump will copy default "by-uuid" dev name.

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

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.

We have added *wdt in kdump initramfs, but to improve it more we can do below
(1) load wdt drivers as early as possible so that we can save time before wdt timeout
some drivers like iTCO_wdt can stop the watchdog while driver initialization, so
it can give more chance for kdump.
It can save time especially in case some drivers take long time to init, like
some storage and networking cards.
(2) add only used wdt drivers in kdump initrd instead of add *wdt
wdt driver layer need a change so that we can get the proper driver name from
/dev/watchdog. Question to this is are we sure 1st kernel use /dev/watchdog
instead of /dev/watchdog1? It need more investigation.
(3) in case a driver can not stop (nowayout?) during module_init, we need load it
as early as possible and kick the watchdog. Likely we can use systemd default
watchdog functionality.
This patch is about to address (1), and specially for iTCO_wdt, we only tested
iTCO_wdt, thus in this patch only add this driver, need investigate on other drivers
later to see if other drivers works in this way.

Steve found a bug. When mount a disk in /var and not specify path
in /etc/kdump.conf, the vmcore will be dumped into /var/crash of
that disk, but not /crash on that disk.
This is because when write the parsed path into /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
in default_dump_target_install_conf() of mkdumprd, it uses below
sed command. So if no path specified at all, this sed command won't
add it to /tmp/$$-kdump.conf. Then in 2nd kernel it will take default
path, namely "/var/crash" as path if no path in /etc/kdump.conf in
2nd kernel.
sed -i -e "s#$_save_path#$_path#" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
According to Dave Young's suggestion, erase the old path line and then
insert the parsed path. This can fix it.
v2->v3:
erase the old path line and then insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path[[:space:]]\+$_save_path##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
v3->v4:
Change the sed pattern, erase lines starting with "path" and then
insert the parsed path.
sed -i -e "s#^path.*##" /tmp/$$-kdump.conf
echo "path $_path" >> /tmp/$$-kdump.conf

Once login using ssh, the ssh will store the known hosts entry to the

The ssh will check the ~/ssh/.known_hosts entry, if set the option
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes/ask in the config or command line, when you

And the kdump using the ssh will append the option

We can using following ip to connect peer machine, if enable the ipv6.
fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%eth0
Obviously, above ip contains the ethX.
Kdump will add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX to avoid flowing
netdevice name in case netdevice names ethX in the 2nd kernel. So the
ip address will change to fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%kdump-eth0.
Kdump will login the target manully in the 2nd kernel, because of the

The commit(ba7660f37e) has fixed this
issue by add the prefix "kdump-" before ethX. But the network will fail

Here is the config which is used to setup the static route:
rd.route=192.168.201.215:192.168.200.137:eth1
Obviously, the static route config comtains the ethX. But the network
device names kdump-ethX in the 2nd kernel, so the static route config
will fail to execute. To fix it, we should identify the network device.

Previously for solving static route issues, all routes which go

in 2nd kernel. Because we use below search pattern, an exception
will happen:
/sbin/ip route show | grep -v default | grep "^[[:digit:]].*via.* $_netdev"
That exception is a corner case which happened when 2 machines connected
directly by cable and the 2 network interfaces are configured in
different network subnets. E.g there are 2 machines A and B:
A:ens10 < ------ > B:ens9
A:ens10 inet 192.168.100.111/24 scope global ens10
route need be added in A:
192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10
B:ens9 inet 192.168.110.222/24 scope global ens9
route need be added in B
192.168.100.0/24 dev ens9
Now if A want to dump to B, the route "192.168.110.0/24 dev ens10"
has to be saved and added in 2nd kernel.
So in this patch "ip route get to $target" command is executed, then
an exact route can be got for going to that target. By this, static
route works and the corner case can be fixed too.

that ip conf is already added in kernel cmdline for some special

Now we also look up /proc/cmdline for ip conf. If it exists, we use the

If /sysroot/var/crash mount fails, initrd-root-fs.target will not be
reached. And then initrd.target will not be reached,
dracut-pre-pivot.service wouldn't run. Finally kdump.sh wouldn't run.
To solve this problem, we need to separate the error handling code from
dracut-pre-pivot hook, and every time when a failure shows up, the
separated code can be called by the emergency service.
By default systemd provides an emergency service which will drop us into
shell every time upon a critical failure. It's very convenient for us to
re-use the framework of systemd emergency, because we don't have to
touch the other parts of systemd. We can use our own script instead of
the default one.
This new scheme will overwrite emergency shell and replace with kdump
error handling code. And this code will do the error handling as needed.
Now, we will not rely on dracut-pre-pivot hook running always. Instead
whenever error happens and it is serious enough that emergency shell
needed to run, now kdump error handler will run.
dracut-emergency is also replaced by kdump error handler and it's
enabled again all the way down. So all the failure (including systemd
and dracut) in 2nd kernel could be captured, and trigger kdump error
handler.
dracut-initqueue is a special case, which calls "systemctl start
emergency" directly, not via "OnFailure=emergency". In case of failure,
emergency is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means
dracut-initqueue is still running. On the other hand, emergency will
call dracut-initqueue again when default action is dump_to_rootfs.
systemd would block on the last dracut-initqueue, waiting for the first
instance to exit, which leaves us hang. It looks like the following:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency (running)
--> kdump-error-handler.sh (running)
--> call dracut-initqueue:
--> blocking and waiting for the original instance to exit.
To fix this, I'd like to introduce a wrapper emergency service. This
emegency service will replace both the systemd and dracut emergency. And
this service does nothing but to isolate to real kdump error handler
service:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency isolate to kdump-error-handler.service
--> dracut-emergency and dracut-initqueue will both be stopped
and kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh.
In a normal failure case, this still works:
foo.service fails
--> trigger emergency.service
--> emergency.service isolates to kdump-error-handler.service
--> kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh

Extract functions from kdump.sh, and construct kdump-lib-initramfs.sh as
kdump common functions/varaibles library.
kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will include kdump-lib.sh, because it will use
the functions from there. IOW, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be a superset
of kdump-lib.sh
So after this cleanup:
- scripts running in 1st kernel only have to include kdump-lib.sh
- scripts running in 2nd kernel only have to include kdump-lib-initramfs.sh

We met a problem that eth0 ends up being eth1 and eth1 being eth0
between 1st and 2nd kernel. Because we pass ifname=eth0:$mac to force
it's named eth0 and since "eth0"is already taken by the other NIC, udev
fails to bring up the NIC we want, thus kdump fails.
kernel assigned network interface names are not persistent. So if first
kernel is using kernel assigned interface names, then force it to use
"kdump-" prefixed names in second kernel.
For ethX, we put a prefix "kdump-" before it, so in 2nd kernel, ethX
will name to "kdump-ethX". So that we can avoid the naming conflict.
We only need to change the ethernet card name, that means, for bridge,
vlan, bond, team devices' names , we never prefix them. Because these
names are assigned when they're created by userspace.

NetworkManager changed the format of ifcfg-device files. They may define
static IP addresses with the following format:
IPADDR0=192.168.122.100
PREFIX0=24
There may be up to 255 ip addresses for a network device - each with a unique
number tagged to the end of IPADDR and PREFIX.
Prior to this fix, kdump only handled static ip addresses defined with
IPADDR=192.168.122.100
PREFIX=24
ie. without the number.
The solution is to use "ip" commands to find the correct network information.
Tested with both static and dynamic IP addresses.

Adds two new options to kdump.conf to be able to configure fence_kdump
support for generic clusters:
fence_kdump_args <arg(s)>
- Command line arguments for fence_kdump_send (it can contain all
valid arguments except hosts to send notification to)
fence_kdump_nodes <node(s)>
- List of cluster node(s) separated by space to send fence_kdump
notification to (this option is mandatory to enable fence_kdump)
Generic clusters fence_kdump configuration take precedence over older
method of fence_kdump configuration for Pacemaker clusters. It means
that if fence_kdump is configured using above options in kdump.conf, old
Pacemaker configuration is not used even if it exists.

When watchdog is enabled in 1st kernel, then crash dump in kdump
kernel will be interrupted if watchdog is timeout. Since some
wdt drivers can stop the watchdog when its driver is loaded,
e.g iTCO_wdt, this can benefit crash dump.
Add watchdog driver which is active in system to initramfs, its
loading can stop watchdog.

In the remote dump case, and if fence kdump is configured, chances are
that the same network interface will be setup more than once.
One time for network dump, the other times for fence kdump. The result
is we will have two or more duplicate ip= configuration in 40ip.conf.
These are exactly duplicates, however dracut will refuse to continue and
raise a fatal error if there are duplicate configuration for the same
interface. So we have to avoid adding these duplicates.

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.

That causes following issues when network is br0 over bond0:
-> kdump_setup_bridge br0: _dev to be "bond0" as a brif
-> kdump_setup_bond bond0: _dev is modified to be eth0 as a bond slave
-> (jump back) kdump_setup_bridge br0: we really need _dev is
"bond0" not "eth0".
_dev must be a local variable because it has been used multiple places.

Chaowang measured the selinux load_policy memory usage, it need ~50M
It's too much under kdump 2nd kernel, it cause more OOM then before.
Here is the findings from Vivek:
- If we don't load policy or don't do restorecon, kernel automatically
uses a label for file as specified by file
/sys/fs/selinux/initial_contexts/file
On my system this value is "system_u:object_r:file_t:s0". Kernel
enforces this label on a file if it is not labeled. That's the reason
that you see above label on vmcore file when selinux policy was not
loaded in second kernel or restorecon was not done.
Note: I did some testing with rhel6 and there also I see file_t context.
Not sure why that's the case.
- Relabeling of root file system over boot happens if there is a file
/.autorelabel present. This file is touched by systemd service
fedora-autorelabel-mark.service. And this file comes from initscritps
package.
So if this service thinks that system was booted with selinux disabled
it will put this file on root and when next time system boots with
selinux enabled, relabeling is enforced by fedora-autorelabel.service
service.
- In our case relabeling is not happening after saving vmcore because
there does not seem be any fedora-autorelabel-mark.service running
from initramfs context. Looks like this service runs after switching
to real root.
Aug 08 10:44:13 vm9-f19 systemd[1]: Started Mark the need to relabel after reboot.
- selinux poicy is now loaded by systemd after root switch has taken
place.
Aug 08 10:44:10 vm9-f19 systemd[1]: Successfully loaded SELinux policy in 357.693ms.
So now we know that why selinux relabeling is not taking place. Reason
being that systemd service which marks the file system for autorelabeling
does not run from initramfs context.
And it might not make to run this service from initramfs context before
switch root. In general it makes sense to first switch to root, load
selinux policy if needed and then check whether to mark this filesystem
for relabel or not. Ideally root is mourted read only before that. It is
just that we break this rule for kdump. So as long as we make sure we
relabel files created by kdump after booting back, things should be fine.
Since we will relabel the vmcore dir after reboot so let's remove
the selinux dracut module dependency to avoid load_policy in 2nd kernel.
If in the future load_policy memory usage shrinks to an acceptable level
or there's a better solution we can add selinux load_policy back later.

Currently in initrd, hardware clock is always considered to use UTC time
format and system time zone is also UTC. Thus system time isn't correct
if hw clock is localtime or we're using other time zone in real root.

Previously, this functionality was implemented in dracut base module:

at the beginning of kdump. This can solve the explicit emergency_shell problem.
