- use local variables with _
- use associative array for the kernel modules
- install emergency hook even in the systemd case
- follow device path until /sys is reached
- set kernel version for modprobe checking
It is expected that a watchdog module will disable an active watchdog when
its probe is called ie, when it is loaded. So an early load of the module
will help to disable it earlier.
This can be helpful in some corner cases where kdump and watchdog daemon
both are active.
Testing:
-- When watchdog kernel modules were added
# dracut --no-hostonly initramfs-test.img -a watchdog
# lsinitrd initramfs-test.img -f etc/cmdline.d/00-watchdog.conf

Recently following patches have been added in upstream Linux kernel, which
(1) fixes parent of watchdog_device so that
/sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/device is populated. (2) adds some sysfs
device attributes so that different watchdog status can be read.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6551881c86c791237a3bebf11eb3bd70b60ea782http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=906d7a5cfeda508e7361f021605579a00cd82815http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=33b711269ade3f6bc9d9d15e4343e6fa922d999b
With the above support, now we can find out whether a watchdog is active or
not. We can also find out the driver/module responsible for that watchdog
device.
Proposed patch uses above support and then adds module of active watchdog
in initramfs generated by dracut for hostonly mode. Kernel module for
inactive watchdog will be added as well for none hostonly mode.
When an user does not want to add kernel module, then one should exclude
complete dracut watchdog module with --omit.
Testing:
-- When watchdog is active watchdog modules were added
# cat /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/identity
iTCO_wdt
# cat /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/state
active
# dracut --hostonly initramfs-test.img -a watchdog
# lsinitrd initramfs-test.img | grep iTCO

# cat /sys/class/watchdog/watchdog0/state
inactive
# dracut --hostonly initramfs-test.img -a watchdog

-- When watchdog is inactive, but no hostonly mode, watchdog modules were added

When systemd is present, let it manage watchdog feed.
