From: Hari Bathini <[email protected]>
With fadump (dump capture) kernel booting like a regular kernel, it needs
almost the same amount of memory to boot as the production kernel, which is
unwarranted for a dump capture kernel. But with no option to disable some
of the unnecessary subsystems in fadump kernel, that much memory is wasted
on fadump, depriving the production kernel of that memory.
Introduce kernel parameter 'fadump_extra_args=' that would take regular
parameters as a space separated quoted string, to be enforced when fadump
is active. This 'fadump_extra_args=' parameter can be leveraged to pass
parameters like nr_cpus=1, cgroup_disable=memory and numa=off, to disable
unwarranted resources/subsystems.
Also, ensure the log "Firmware-assisted dump is active" is printed early
in the boot process to put the subsequent fadump messages in context.

Changes from v6:
Correct and simplify quote handling. Ideally I would like to extend
parse_args to give the length of the original quoted value to callback.
However, parse_args removes at most one doubel-quote from the start and
one from the end so that is easy to detect. Otherwise all other users
will have to be updated to trash the new argument.

The fadump parameter processing re-does the logic of next_arg quote
stripping to determine where the argument ends. Pass pointer to the
next argument instead to make this more robust.

s/shortening/1/ ^
in case somebody would want this patch and not the following one that
removes the code.
Hi Michal,
Thanks for the patches. I tried testing with the patches:
[ 0.000000] fadump: Firmware-assisted dump is active.
[ 0.000000] fadump: Modifying command line to enforce the additional
parameters passed through 'fadump_extra_args='
[ 0.000000] fadump: Original command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinux-4.13.0-rc1-bz155783+ root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro
crashkernel=2048M fadump=on fadump_reserve_mem=1024M
"fadump_extra_args=nr_cpus=1 numa=off udev.childern-max=2"
rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap
[ 0.000000] fadump: Modified command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinux-4.13.0-rc1-bz155783+ root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro
crashkernel=2048M fadump=on fadump_reserve_mem=1024M "fadump_extra_args
nr_cpus=1 numa=off udev.childern-max=2" rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root
rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap
Looks like the quotes are retained not enforcing the parameters...
I am yet to test the patches in other scenarios though..
Thanks
Hari

Hello,
You are passing an argument >>"fadump_extra_args<< - that is an
argument containing a quote in the name. I did not test this scenario
assuming the argument name would not match in this case. It would
probably not match if the quote was in the middle of the argument
name but at the start it is skipped. Note that due to the requirement
to remove quotes symmetrically which is added in the third patch this
case does not break the commandline - it merely makes the arguments
ineffective.
The format suggested in the documentation is
>>fadump_extra_args="nr_cpus=1 numa=off udev.childern-max=2"<< - that
is quotes around the value. This format worked in my testing.
Unfortunately, the format with quote before argument name would
probably require another extra parameter to the callback to detect
properly.
Thanks

Actually, this was not intentional..
I passed fadump_extra_args="nr_cpus=1 numa=off udev.childern-max=2"
through grub loader
but chosen/bootargs ended up having "fadump_extra_args=nr_cpus=1
numa=off udev.childern-max=2".
Need to check why that is..
Thanks

Sounds reasonable. Just for curiosity, do we have chance to pass in
option with a single '"'?

No, we don't. Perhaps it would work if it was at the end of the
commandline.
next_arg checks that quoting is closed.
It was possible but undocumented with previous behavior - you would
place the quote in the middle and the closing quote at start or end so
that next_arg would remove the closing quote but not the one in the
middle.
It would be also possible with shell-like backslash escaping but that
is not implemented.
Thanks

Can you split that into two patches?

Can you split out a patch that adds the next argument and updates the
callers. And then a patch for the fadump to use the new arg.

Not really. There is logic in lib/cmdline.c which is duplicated in
arch/powerpc/kernel/fadump.c and so the two places should be updated in
sync.
