Title:
Set PANIC_TIMEOUT=10 on Power Systems
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Artful:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
When stopping CPUs fail when doing kdump, the system will hang
indefinitively, instead of rebooting. With this option set, it will reboot
after 10 seconds when that happens.
This setting has been the default for trusty, where panic_timeout is
10. Later releases set it to 0.
[Test Case]
When booting a kernel, /proc/sys/kernel/panic should be 10. It's 0 for
xenial, zesty and artful. After the fix, it's 10.
[Regression Potential]
For users that rely on the setting as 0, they will see their system reboot 10
seconds after a panic. They can set it back to 0 or other value. Though, on
some rare cases, the system might not boot enough for this setting to be set.
Balancing that with the case where kdump is used and the system is expected to
boot, we expect the 10 seconds setting is okay.
===
For ppc64le, in some rare crash cases, kdump won't load unless timeout
is greater than 0. Only 10 has been tested by IBM, so using a smaller
value may not work.
