** Description changed:
- kdump-tools fails to load if one of the kernel parameter has double-
- quotes
+ [SRU justification]
+ This fix is needed to avoid failure to load kdump-tools when one kernel boot
parameter has double-quotes.
+
+ [Impact]
+ kdump functionality becomes unusable
+
+ [Fix]
+ Modify kdump-config to handle the presence of double-quotes in the cmdline
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Edit /etc/default/grub and add the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT :
+
+ \"acpi_osi=!Windows 2012\"
+ $ sudo update-grub
+ $ sudo reboot
+
+ kdump-config will show the following error upon reboot :
+
+ [ 11.595868] kdump-tools[1710]: Cannot open `2012 irqpoll nr_cpus=1 nousb
systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service': No s
+ uch file or directory
+ [ 11.602563] kdump-tools[1710]: * failed to load kdump kernel
+
+ With this fix, the kdump-config command will run successfully
+
+ [Regression]
+ None expected. Fix is already in Zesty & Debian. Only one line added to the
