Tested on RHEL-8.5.0-20210524.d.0+kexec-tools-2.0.20-49.el8 on all arch, the return values are the same as the expect values,all of them passed.
Components:
RHEL-8.5.0-20210524.d.0
kernel-4.18.0-305.7.el8.kpq1
kexec-tools-2.0.20-49.el8
crash-7.3.0-2.el8
test steps:
# rpm -q kexec-tools
kexec-tools-2.0.20-49.el8.ppc64le
# . /usr/lib/kdump/kdump-lib.sh
# kdump_get_arch_recommend_size <== it will return the value.

comment#9 is tested against an official build https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=1612548 But I made another rapid successive building at that day, and finally pick up kexec-tools-2.0.20-50.el8 into errata. The difference between the two releases is minor as the following commits b2dccde2 Release-2.0.20-50 2c2ae3b9 rd.route should use the name from kdump_setup_ifname f97d3cac get kdump ifname once in kdump_install_netdev a3ef9148 Release-2.0.20-49 11608030 kdump-lib.sh: fix the case if no enough total RAM for kdump in get_recommend_size() 557a2c2f Release-2.0.20-48 2c2ae3b9 rd.route should use the name from kdump_setup_ifname and f97d3cac get kdump ifname once in kdump_install_netdev only touch dracut-module-setup.sh, not kdump-lib.sh. As comment#9, I can not pick up kexec-tools-2.0.20-49 in errata, which will deprecate kexec-tools-2.0.20-50. But I think that changing the fix version from kexec-tools-2.0.20-49 to -50 is safe. I will be more careful to correct the fix version in time, which is automatically filled by gating engine now. Thanks Hi Hanns, Based on QE tests, the . /usr/lib/kdump/kdump-lib.sh works as expected (comment-6). Can I know what failed IBM tests ?
