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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:2300 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE kexec-tools bug fix and enhancement update 2017-08-01 12:40:58 UTC

Description Xunlei Pang 2017-04-28 15:25:01 UTC
Description of problem:
Amazon EC2 C5 cloud complained that VM boot speed is slower than Ubuntu and other distributions, after some debugging, people found that one of the causes is kdump service starts slow, although it is parallel, it affects the speed more or less especially on VMs with few cpus, which is unacceptable.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove "crashkernel=X"
2. touch /etc/kdump.conf
3. date; kdumpctl start; date (see the elapsed seconds)

Actual results:
kdump service takes a few seconds to finish and fail.
Even more at the first time, because the new kdump initramfs is generated, then kdump service start fail.

Expected results:
bail out eariler without building/checking any initramfs even at the first time.
