Rewrite kdumpctl reset-crashkernel KERNEL_PATH as
kdumpctl reset-crashkernel [--fadump=[on|off|nocma]] [--kernel=path_to_kernel] [--reboot]
This interface would reset a specific kernel to the default crashkernel value
given the kernel path. And it also supports grubby's syntax so there are the
following special cases,
- if --kernel not specified,
- use KDUMP_KERNELVER if it's defined in /etc/sysconfig/kdump
- otherwise use current running kernel, i.e. `uname -r`
- if --kernel=DEFAULT, the default boot kernel is chosen
- if --kernel=ALL, all kernels would have its crashkernel reset to the
default value and the /etc/default/grub is updated as well
--fadump=[on|off|nocma] toggles fadump on/off for the kernel provided
in KERNEL_PATH. If --fadump is omitted, the dump mode is determined by
parsing the kernel command line for the kernel(s) to update.
CoreOS/Atomic/Silverblue needs to be treated as a special case because,
- "rpm-ostree kargs" is used to manage kernel command line parameters
so --kernel doesn't make sense and there is no need to find current
running kernel
- "rpm-ostree kargs" itself would prompt the user to reboot the system
after modify the kernel command line parameter
- POWER is not supported so we can assume the dump mode is always kdump
This interface will also be called by kexec-tools RPM scriptlets [1]
to reset crashkernel.
Note the support of crashkenrel.default is dropped.
