[Bug 1359980] [NEW] [Hyper-V] Unable to perform a full kernel crash on Ubuntu 14.10

 

Public bug reported:

System details:
Linux ubuntu 3.16.0-9-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 15:03:57 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu Server 14.10 Daily build from 19th Aug (first build picked up for testing)

We have followed the steps at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe to configure kdump on a
Generation 1 VM.

kdump is loaded and when we trigger the crash, a kernel panic is
displayed.

Issues:
1. The vmcore/crash file is not generated under /var/crash as configured in the kdump config.
2. The VM will hang and not reboot.  Default action to take in case of a failure is to reboot - again as set in kdump config.

Repro rate: 100%
VM settings: tests ran with 1 CPU core or 4 cores.
Negociated VMBus is 3.0, which has been integrated since 14.04 so this should work as no other patches are needed. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1317697)

I'm also attaching the serial console output of both cases - single core
and SMP.

root@ubuntu:~# kdump-config  load
efi memory descriptor version 0 is not supported!
 * loaded kdump kernel

root@ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
