Before the patches, dracut will drop into emergency shell for many failure cases, but kdump does not care about some of failures as long as vmcore can be saved successfully. Thus action_on_fail was introduced to fall to kdump service in case early failure in dracut. But later with new systemd services, there are cases that kdump script can never be called in case early dracut failure because of systemd service dependency issues. Thus there was below post which create a new kdump error handler systemd service: https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kexec-TuqUDEhatI4ANWPb/1PvSmm0pvjS0E/A@public.gmane.org/thread/3EN63K2NDC6C545M5Z434VCHWDR3BCHD/ Now this action_on_fail interface was useless, nobody use it and it is broken with systemd sometimes. So I send this series to revert them one by one. Thanks Dave
