It has already been changed to @128M on bionic. For 18.10, I will drop,
and consider backporting it to previous versions if necessary. I will
backport the @128M change to xenial and artful as soon as the versions
in -proposed move to -updates or are dropped.

== Comment: #0 - Hari Krishna Bathini <hbath...@in.ibm.com> - 2018-01-08

---Problem Description---
A default offset of 128MB is enforced for crashkernel by kdump-tools utility
overriding the kernel default.
While the kernel default offset for crashkernel is also 128MB, that may change
and the right thing to do would be to let the kernel decide on the offset of
crashkernel in the default scenario..
Get rid of "@128M" in kdump-tools.cfg file
Contact Information = hbath...@in.ibm.com
---uname output---
na
Machine Type = na
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
# cat /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
crashkernel=2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M@128M"
---
The offset is specified via kdump-tools where as the kernel may be the right
place to
set an offset by default..
Userspace tool common name: kdump-tools
