[PATCH v5 0/8] kdump: Modify kdump init script to support firmware-assisted dump
by Hari Bathini
This patch set implements firmware-assisted dump support for kdump
service. Firmware-assisted dump support depends on existing kdump
infrastructure (kdump scripts) present in userland to save dump
to the disk. Though existing kdump script will work seemlessly, it
still needs to modified to make it aware of presense of firmware-
assisted dump feature during service start and stop. These changes
are tested successfully on a power box with fedora19.
Changes from v4 to v5:
1. Not restoring initrd anymore while switching from fadump to
kump mode.
2. Added support to check for fadump support in default initrd
image to avoid rebuilding muliple times unnecesarily.
3. Removed redundant check in stop_fadump routine. Corrected few
old typos.

[PATCH] kdumpctl: time out after 180 seconds when connecting to ssh host
by WANG Chao
When starting kdump service with dump target being ssh host, after
network-online.target, we connect to ssh host and touch the dump
directory to make sure the host is ready to be dumped to.
Chances are after network-online.target, the particular network resource
we interest in isn't ready for connecting to the specified ssh host.
And at that time, we connect to ssh host and fail.
What we should do is to wait for the specific network resource, not
totally depending on network-online.target. But it's relatively
complicated to implement. A simple and direct solution would be try as
many time as it needs to connect to the configured ssh host. However to
avoid a infinitely loop, we time out and fail. I set this time out value
to be 180 seconds, and general speaking, 180 seconds would be enough for
almost any kind of network to be up and ready.
