Package: makedumpfile Version: 1.6.7-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers,
Kdump-tools currently has 2 issues related to sysctls: (1) It doesn't respect KDUMP_SYSCTL, after some commit removes it partially - by partially, it means it wasn't _removed_, but the feature does not work anymore. (2) There's no way to control sysctls on kdump environment - it "inherits" sysctl configuration of the host, which could be problematic specially in case of hugepages setting as sysctl in the regular boot. I've submitted a merge request with fixes/improvements for this situations, see: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/makedumpfile/-/merge_requests/2 The patch series addresses (1) [first patch] and (2) [patches two and three]. We changed the KDUMP_SYSCTL name to prevent confusion...the idea is to rename it to KDUMP_PANIC_TRIGGERS since the goal for this configuration is to set the panic options. Regarding (2), we make use of an initrd approach to override sysctls on *kdump environment only*. Appreciate reviews, thanks in advance! Cheers, Guilherme -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
