[Connor Kuehl <1741860@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hari and Mamatha,

I made a test package for kdump-tools with "@128M" removed from the end
of kdump-tools.cfg. This test package is for Eoan as requested in
Launchpad Bug Comment #9 (although this package is not in the proposed
repository, it will have to be installed manually with `dpkg -i kdump-
tools_1.6.5-1ubuntu3.1_ppc64el.deb`)

The test package is located here:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~connor/LP1741860-crashkernel/eoan/

If everything looks okay on your end, I will proceed with SRU'ing this
fix to the other Ubuntu releases.

Thanks,

Connor

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Hari Krishna Bathini <hbathini@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2018-01-08 01:06:41 ==
  ---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

  ---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..
