And with commit t5b31b099 ("Simplify the management of the kernel
parameter crashkernel"), the default crashkernel value will be
used for the kernel. But the test VM has a RAM of 768M thus this is no
actual reserved memory for kdump. Even With the old crashkernel=224M,
network dumping tests like nfs-kdump will fail out of memory when
running against current Fedora Cloud images (>=F37).
This patch address the above two issues by
1. increasing the RAM of test VM to 1G
2. installing the kernel-modules which contains the squashfs module in
order to use the dracut squash module for kdump initrd.
Thanks to the dracut squash module, now even crashkernel=192M (the
default crashkernel value for RAM between 1G and 4G) works for
network dumping. Another benefit brought by this change is the default
crashkernel value can be tested as well.

All the tests failed to run on the Fedora 37 host because the boot

The root problem is somehow running lsblk on the second partition

Currently, kexec-tools only updates the crashkernel to a new default

- auto_reset_crashkernel=yes in kdump.conf
- existing kernels or current running kernel should use the old default
value.
To address seen corner cases, the logic to tell if the second condition
is met becomes quite complex. Instead of making the logic more complex
to support aarch64-64k, this patch drops the second condition to
simplify the management of the crashkernel kernel parameter.
Another change brought by this simplification is kexec-tools will also
set up the kernel crashkernel parameter for a fresh install (previously
it's limited to osbuild).

A Unified Kernel Image (UKI) is a single EFI PE executable combining an

They are defined in the Boot Loader Specification [1] as type #2
entries. UKIs have the advantage that all code as well as meta data that
is required to boot the system, not only the kernel image, is combined
in a single PE file and can be signed for EFI SecureBoot. This extends
the coverage of SecureBoot extensively.
For RHEL support for UKI were included into kernel-ark with 16c7e3ee836e
("redhat: Add sub-RPM with a EFI unified kernel image for virtual
machines").
There are two problems with UKIs from the kdump point of view at the
moment. First, they cannot be directly loaded via kexec_file_load and
second, the initrd included isn't suitable for kdump. In order to enable
kdump on systems with UKIs build the kdump initrd as usual and extract
the kernel image before loading the crash kernel.

This is because nfsv4-releted drivers are not installed to kdump initrd.
mkdumprd calls dracut with "--hostonly-mode strict". If nfsv4-related

When users specify nfs dumping via dracut_args, kexec-tools won't mount

Note dracut only installs the nfs driver i.e. nfsv3 driver for "--mount

dumping via dracut_args. Since nfs_layout_nfsv41_files depends on nfsv4,
the nfsv4 driver will be installed automatically.

In theory this can even lead to bugs. For example consider the case when
