Description John Pittman 2017-01-31 17:18:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Virtual guests on Microsoft hypervisor failing to dump vmcore intermittently with a "lost interrupt".

Issue can be seen below:
  - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/541688/raw

Requesting to include LIS 4.1.3 or the module equivalent in RHEL 6.10

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Test crashing the hyperv guest system with the following parameters set in kdump.conf:

  ---------------------
  ext3 LABEL=/log2
  path /var/crash
  core_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 31
  blacklist hv_utils hv_netvsc hid-hyperv hyperv_fd
  disk_timeout 100
  extra_modules ata_piix sr_mod sd_mod
  default reboot
  force_rebuild 1
  ----------------------

Issue is intermittent, but occurred every 3 crashes or so.

Actual results:

Crash intermittently fails.

Expected results:

Crash should work every time.  It was found that the upstream LIS fixes the issue.
Requesting that this level or equivalent be added to 6.10.

I don't think this blacklist is needed.

Ditto. When running under Hyper-V you need to use Hyper-V drivers all the time, they should normally work even after kdump.

All Hyper-V drivers and fixes are in the upstream Linux kernel, we backport them to RHEL when necessary. From your log it seems you're trying to do kdump by injecting NMI with Debug-VM from the host. The issue you see is supposed to be already fixed in RHEL6, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333167
If you can, please try the latest 6.9 kernel, it should work. Please report in the original BZ if it doesn't.
