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 clients deployed with kdump
diskless boot, 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.
As an example:
dracut_args --mount "192.168.1.1:/test test nfs defaults"
NOTE:
-Only one mount information is allowed using "dracut_args".
-Dracut will create <mountpoint> if it doesn't exist in kdump kernel.
-Users should do a test first and ensure it works because kdump does
not prepare the mount and check all the validity.
