If none of these complex network is configured, we should wait for

Currently when action_on_fail is enabled, the emergency_shell won't be called.
In kdump even though user specify the default action as emergency_shell,
dracut skip it. Now change the implementation of action_on_fail to depend
on a file which is created by kdump when making kdump initrd, then remove it
at the beginning of kdump. This can solve the explicit emergency_shell problem.
And action_on_fail won't need paramenters, remove the relevant description in
dracut man page.

To eliminate a race condition that occurs when unlocking one device
depends on the result of unlocking a device before it, the crypt
module must wait for udev to settle between each unlock attempt.
Example
/etc/crypttab:
keyfile /dev/md1 none luks
sda4_crypt /dev/sda4 /dev/mapper/keyfile luks
sdb4_crypt /dev/sdb4 /dev/mapper/keyfile luks
Without this patch, sometimes /dev/sda4 fails to unlock because udev
doesn't have time to create /dev/mapper/keyfile before it's needed.
Prevents following error message:
I: *** Including module: crypt ***
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90crypt/module-setup.sh: line 31: /etc/crypttab: No such file or directory
kernel-tegra is now part of the base kernel package, so bits and pieces
ended up modular, and as a result, if you boot off the internal USB, you
drop to a dracut shell with no way of getting to root.
In the kernel comments PARTUUID is shown using uppercase A-F:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/do_mounts.c?id=HEAD#n183
However, dracut tries to use the value of PARTUUID directly in
/dev/disks/by-partuuid/ which expects the hex to be lowercase. This will
cause root to never be found, oops!
Fix dracut so it can, like the Kernel, accept either casing.
Untested but I added a hack on my local system that was similar.
$NEWROOT/dev and its submounts should be umounted after we use it.
Otherwise it fails other scripts that umount /sysroot only.

configured_ifaces is a function that returns the names of each interface
that the user wanted configured.
Currently, this is accomplished by reading the list from
/tmp/net.ifaces. But if we want to allow the user to specify an
interface by its MAC address or IP or something, we need a function that
will read the cache and convert the MACs etc. to names.
(Obviously this conversion only works once udev starts, so it will warn
you if you try it too early.)
Now that we can use a MAC as a device identifier, we can just bring up
the device specified by BOOTIF as a normal interface.
So instead of ignoring everything but BOOTIF, we'll put BOOTIF in the
IFACES list and bring it up as normal, defaulting to DHCP if nothing
else is specified.
We can also handle anaconda-style 'ksdevice=bootif' this way.
A MAC address is a unique identifier for a particular network interface.
We can use the MAC to generate udev rules to bring up that interface,
like we currently do with BOOTIF.
This patch allows interfaces to be specified as a MAC address, either
in the usual colon-separated form or the PXE-style dash-separated form.
(The latter is more useful on the commandline, since it allows for
arguments like: "ip=77-77-6f-6f-64-73:dhcp")
This is useful since it's common for a user who is booting a new OS for
the first time to know the MAC of the device, but not know what the
kernel name will be.
To set the default font for your distribution, add
i18n_default_font="latarcyrheb-sun16"
to your /lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf distribution config.
Scripts in dracut initqueue hooks are placed under
/usr/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/*/ directory.
And also start initqueue service when kernel cmdline has

Currently in initrd, hardware clock is always considered to use UTC time
format and system time zone is also UTC. Thus system time isn't correct
if hw clock is localtime or we're using other time zone in real root.
To fix this, install /etc/adjtime and /etc/localtime to initrd. If not
using systemd, install /usr/sbin/hwclock for dracut init to setup system
time.

chroot load_policy will use selinuxfs which should be mounted
in $NEWROOT/sys/fs/selinux for Fedora 19, but because there's

As per RHBZ #966162, parted stopped unconditionally using "p" as a
separator for dmraid device names in version 3.1, so other things need
to fall in line with that convention now.
This causes the root FS options to be incorrectly applied to to /usr
In some cases this can cause boot failure e.g. due to and XFS /usr
not supporting the 'acl' option from the ext4 root FS.

When dropped to emergency shell, for example, use rd.break=pre-pivot,
the PS1 won't correctly show current directory we're in:
pre-pivot:/# cd /sysroot/
pre-pivot:/#
(still shows "/")
Let's take a look at PS1 variable:
(I'm adding prefix/suffix 'x' to make it clear):
pre-pivot:/# echo x${PS1}x
xpre-pivot:/# x
(PS1 isn't dynamic)
Regarding the current dracut code, it should be:
pre-pivot:/# cd /sysroot/etc
pre-pivot:/sysroot/etc#
With this patch:
pre-pivot:/# echo x${PS1}x
xpre-pivot:${PWD}# x
(Now PS1 is dynamic, it will show the directory correctly)
I tested for both normal boot and kdump boot.

now you can write grub entries like
set isofile="/Fedora-live.iso"

initrd (loop)/isolinux/initrd0.img
Currently the default action is emergency_shell when failure happened
during system boot. In kdump, this default may not be expected. E.g,
if dump target is not rootfs, it does not matter if mount root failed.
Adding an action which allow dracut always go ahead though failure
happens is needed by kdump.
So here add a function action_on_fail() and cmdline parameter
action_on_fail=<shell | continue>. Use action_to_fail() to replace
emergency_shell which was called after failure. By $(getarg action_on_fail=),
decide to drop into shell, or to leave away the failure and go ahead.

add handling of selinux policy loaded failure, and change code format to
be consitent

Currently dracut only support 1 bond, namyly bond0 by default. However multiple
bonds configuration may be needed. For example in kdump, in 1st kernel, more
than one bonds may be configured, and bondX other than bond0 is used as output
interface to remote host which will store dump core. This patch can solve this
problem, to write real bond information to initramfs, 2nd kdump kernel will
use it to create the relevant bondX interface.
