Hi Urvashi,
Tried triggering crash with higher crash kernel parameter like 16384M
and i see issue recreated like it throws similar messages like "uevent:
failed to send synthetic uevent" but it rebooted and hangs this time
while booting.

This is due to checkstop that occurs on systems with GPUs connected.
The below two patches are need to fix this:

kexec-tools: ppc64: avoid adding coherent memory regions to crash memory
ranges
Accelerator devices like GPU and FPGA cards contain onboard memory. This
onboard memory is represented as a memory only NUMA node, integrating it
with core memory subsystem. Since, the link through which these devices
are integrated to core memory goes down after a system crash and they are
meant for user workloads, avoid adding coherent device memory regions to
crash memory ranges. Without this change, makedumpfile tool tries to save
unaccessible coherent device memory regions, crashing the system.

urvashi, also check if the below patches are included in the kexec-tools shipped
with 18.04. If not, they should also be included:

kexec-tools: powerpc: fix command line overflow error
Since kernel commit a5980d064fe2 ("powerpc: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE
to 2048"), powerpc bumped command line size to 2048 but the size
used here is still the default value of 512. Bump it to 2048 to
fix command line overflow errors observed when command line length
is above 512 bytes. Also, get rid of the multiple definitions of
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE macro in ppc architecture.

kexec-tools: ppc64: fix how RMA top is deduced
Hang was observed, in purgatory, on a machine configured with
single LPAR. This was because one of the segments was loaded
outside the actual Real Memory Area (RMA) due to wrongly
deduced RMA top value.
Currently, top of real memory area, which is crucial for loading
kexec/kdump kernel, is obtained by iterating through mem nodes
and setting its value based on the base and size values of the
last mem node in the iteration. That can't always be correct as
the order of iteration may not be same and RMA base & size are
always based on the first memory property. Fix this by setting
RMA top value based on the base and size values of the memory
node that has the smallest base value (first memory property)
among all the memory nodes.
Also, correct the misnomers rmo_base and rmo_top to rma_base
and rma_top respectively.
While how RMA top is deduced was broken for sometime, the issue
may not have been seen so far, for couple of possible reasons:
1. Only one mem node was available.
2. First memory property has been the last node in
iteration when multiple mem nodes were present.

Hi Indira,
Installed updated kexec tools (which includes all the 4 patches) in the
whip system. Please retest and update us with your findings.

Hi Urvashi,
I have tried the kdump (triggering crash) test scenario and observed
below findings
-->> For both default and 4096M crash kernel parameters system did not
hang when triggered crash and it booted it up properly but did not find
/var/crash logs saved.
Regards,
Indira

Hi,
Urvashi/Indira, that is probably because of the below..

The above shows that kdump kernel has failed with OOM.
Can you try using "crashkernel=8192M" and see if dump capture is successful
with that?
Thanks
