crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes
Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by userspace. These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug changes. For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the /sys/devices/system/memory directory. For example: # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81 looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81': KERNEL=="memory81" SUBSYSTEM=="memory" DRIVER=="" ATTR{online}=="1" ATTR{phys_device}=="0" ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051" ATTR{removable}=="1" ATTR{state}=="online" ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable" looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory': KERNELS=="memory" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline" ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000" ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1" For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example: # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0': KERNEL=="cpu0" SUBSYSTEM=="cpu" DRIVER=="processor" ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600" ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368" ATTR{online}=="1" looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu': KERNELS=="cpu" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1" ATTRS{isolated}=="" ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191" ATTRS{nohz_full}==" (null)" ATTRS{offline}=="4-7" ATTRS{online}=="0-3" ATTRS{possible}=="0-7" ATTRS{present}=="0-3" With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels configured with crash hotplug support. For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file): # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped. CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options. If an architecture supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the /sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be present. Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).
