PRAKASH <pavrampu@in.ibm.com> - 2017-03-07 05:00:29 == ---Problem Description--- Ubuntu 17.04: dump is not captured in remote host when kdump over ssh is configured on firestone. ---Steps to Reproduce--- 1. Configure kdump. 2. Check whether kdump is operational using ?# kdump-config show?. 3. Install ?kernel-debuginfo? and ?kernel-debuginfo-common? rpms. 4. Setup password less ssh connection, generate rsa key. # ssh-keygen -t rsa 5. verify id_rsa and id_rsa.pub are created under /root/.ssh/ 6. Edit /etc/default/kdump-tools and add below entries. SSH="ubuntu@9.114.15.239" SSH_KEY=/root/.ssh/id_rsa 7. Propagate RSA key. # kdump-config propagate 8. Restart kdump service. # kdump-config load 9. Trigger Crash using below commands. # echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq # echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger 10. Verify dump is available in remote server in configured path.

Interesting thing though is even after enP34p1s0f0 is up (ifup) and network.online target is reached, network was not really active. It took about 30 seconds, after reaching network.online target, for the network to be active, even on a normal boot. Adding this wait time in kdump script, before saving dump, ensured that vmcore is captured successful. Attaching the log for the same.. Not sure why enP34p1s0f0 is taking that long to configure/initialize.

Even > so, > this delay should be part of ifup/network-online.target if it is inevitable, > so that network is pingable after network-online.target Hi Canonical, Since this falls outside the realm of kdump, should we add a NET_WAIT_TIME field in /etc/default/kdump-tools file that defaults to 0 but can be changed when the user sees timing troubles? Thanks Hari [Impact] * Kdump over network (like NFS mount or SSH dump) relies on network-online target from systemd. Even so, there are some NICs that report "Link Up" state but aren't ready to transmit packets. This is a generally bad behavior that is credited probably to NIC firmware delays, usually not fixable from drivers. Some adapters known to act like this are bnx2x, tg3 and ixgbe. * Kdump is a mechanism that may be a last resort to debug complex/hard to reproduce issues, so it's interesting to increase its reliability / resilience. We then propose here a solution/quirk to this issue on network dump by adding a retry/delay mechanism; if it's a network dump, kdump will retry some times and sleep between the attempts in order to exclude the case of NICs that aren't ready yet but will soon be able to transmit packets. * Although first reported by IBM in PowerPC arch, the scope for this issue is the NIC, and it was later reported in x86 arch too. [Test case] Usually it's difficult to naturally reproduce this issue in a deterministic way, but we have an artificial test case on comment #24 of this LP. Also, we have a report from this bug in which the user managed to reproduce the problem consistently - it's fixed after testing our solution. [Regression potential] There's not a clear regression potential here since it's just a retry/delay mechanism. Some potential problems may come from bad coding in the script. The delay between attempts is only 3 sec per iteration, so it shouldn't block the kdump progress for a high amount of time at once.

2019-07-23 13:47:05 Eric Desrochers description [Impact] * Kdump over network (like NFS mount or SSH dump) relies on network-online target from systemd. Even so, there are some NICs that report "Link Up" state but aren't ready to transmit packets. This is a generally bad behavior that is credited probably to NIC firmware delays, usually not fixable from drivers. Some adapters known to act like this are bnx2x, tg3 and ixgbe. * Kdump is a mechanism that may be a last resort to debug complex/hard to reproduce issues, so it's interesting to increase its reliability / resilience. We then propose here a solution/quirk to this issue on network dump by adding a retry/delay mechanism; if it's a network dump, kdump will retry some times and sleep between the attempts in order to exclude the case of NICs that aren't ready yet but will soon be able to transmit packets. * Although first reported by IBM in PowerPC arch, the scope for this issue is the NIC, and it was later reported in x86 arch too. [Test case] Usually it's difficult to naturally reproduce this issue in a deterministic way, but we have an artificial test case on comment #24 of this LP. Also, we have a report from this bug in which the user managed to reproduce the problem consistently - it's fixed after testing our solution.
