RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tereza Cerna 2017-05-22 13:50:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
=======================
If user uses bootloader parameter initrd_add_img with path from profile directory (only tuned-overlay.img instead of /usr/lib/tuned/test-profile/tuned-overlay.img), it prints ERROR message in log file (correct) and it changes also parameter tuned_initrd in grub.cfg to invalid path (incorrect). This should stay empty. 

This is solved for bootloader parameter initrd_add_dir. If it contains wrong value, parameter tuned_initrd in grub.cfg is not set too. 

Example is written below.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================
tuned-2.8.0-2.el7


How reproducible:
=================
always


Steps to Reproduce:
===================

Wrong behavior in parameter initrd_add_img:
-------------------------------------------

# cat /usr/lib/tuned/add-img-profile/tuned.conf
[bootloader]
initrd_add_img=tuned-overlay.img
 
# tuned-adm profile add-img-profile
 
# cat /var/log/tuned/tuned.log
2017-05-22 04:16:25,067 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: stopping tunning
2017-05-22 04:16:25,202 INFO     tuned.profiles.loader: loading profile: add-img-profile
2017-05-22 04:16:25,202 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: starting tuning
2017-05-22 04:16:25,204 INFO     tuned.plugins.plugin_bootloader: installing initrd image as '/boot/tuned-overlay.img'
2017-05-22 04:16:25,204 ERROR    tuned.utils.commands: cannot copy file 'tuned-overlay.img' to '/boot/tuned-overlay.img': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tuned-overlay.img'
2017-05-22 04:16:25,205 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: static tuning from profile 'add-img-profile' applied
 
# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep tuned_initrd=
set tuned_initrd="/tuned-overlay.img"

>> There is error in log file which tells 'No such file or directory: tuned-overlay.img', but path to this file is filled into grub.cfg file: "set tuned_initrd="/tuned-overlay.img". There should not be invalid path in grub configuration file. This parameter tuned_initrd should be empty. If somebody tries it in this way, it will not work.

>> Please, fix this unspecified option.

Right behavior in parameter initrd_add_dir:
-------------------------------------------

# cat /usr/lib/tuned/add-dir-profile/tuned.conf
[bootloader]
initrd_add_dir=tuned-overlay.img

# cat /var/log/tuned/tuned.log
2017-05-22 09:13:03,578 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: stopping tunning
2017-05-22 09:13:04,314 INFO     tuned.profiles.loader: loading profile: add-dir-profile
2017-05-22 09:13:04,315 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: starting tuning
2017-05-22 09:13:04,318 ERROR    tuned.plugins.plugin_bootloader: error: cannot create initrd image, source directory 'tuned-overlay.img' doesn't exist
2017-05-22 09:13:04,318 INFO     tuned.daemon.daemon: static tuning from profile 'add-dir-profile' applied

# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep tuned_initrd=
set tuned_initrd=""

>> You can see error in log file that source directory doesn't exist and parameter tuned_initrd in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg stays empty. So this doesn't cause problem.


Actual results:
===============
# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep tuned_initrd=
set tuned_initrd="/tuned-overlay.img"


Expected results:
=================
# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | grep tuned_initrd=
set tuned_initrd=""
