Bug description:
[Impact]
When the target device where to dump the kernel is under a multipath
configuration, dumping will fail, possibly leaving the system stuck in the
kdump kernel.
The fix is to include some scsi device handlers needed for the multipath
setup inside the initramfs image that is used by kdump.
All modules currently loaded in the system are included.
[Test Case]
Setting up kdump to target a multipath device using an appropriate storage
that requires such scsi_dh modules and triggering a crash will demonstrate that
kdump fails.
After the fix, it works fine.
[Regression Potential]
If a bug is introduced, loading kdump might fail, and a crash will not be
generated. A worse regression that might be considered is the system is stuck
in such a kdump kernel and needs to be rebooted locally (and the crash file is
not generated either). But since this is what we are trying to fix, we don't
expect other systems to break. This didn't happen on a small (less than 1GiB of
RAM) x86 VM, though.
Problem Description
==========================
On talclp1, I enabled kdump. But kdump failed and it drop to BusyBox.

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

== Comment: #7 - Vaishnavi Bhat <[email protected]> - 2016-10-07 05:37:53 ==
The blkid output does not show any device with
UUID=853769e5-1dc5-41be-a689-b430320d207f
which is the root device used in the kexec command line (from kdump-config
show)
kexec command:
/sbin/kexec -p --command-line="BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinux-4.8.0-15-generic
root=UUID=853769e5-1dc5-41be-a689-b430320d207f ro xmon=on splash quiet irqpoll
nr_cpus=1 nousb systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service"
--initrd=/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz
Hence the kdump kernel is failing to boot here.

Hi Vaishnavi,
Necessary hardware handler modules are missing in the kdump initrd.
Here is the console log of kdump kernel that says the same:
--
Begin: Loading multipath hardware handlers ... Failure: failed to load module
scsi_dh_alua.
Failure: failed to load module scsi_dh_rdac.
Failure: failed to load module scsi_dh_emc.
--
Including this modules explicitly and rebuilding initrd for kdump, able to
get to a point
where makedumpfile starts to capture dump but fails with:
"get_mem_map: Can't distinguish the memory type."
which is already tracked with bug 146571
Thanks
Hari
PS1: To explicitly add modules to kdump initrd
1. List the necessary modules in /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/modules
file
2. mkinitramfs -d /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools -o
/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-$kver
3. systemctl restart kdump-tools.service
Mirroring this bug to Canonical for their inputs if to include the
missing hardware modules to the kdump initrd or to proceed with the
workaround.
