Any network interface configured by dracut on s390x is destroyed when

which writes out ifcfg files to down everything and bring up the
interface the user wants.


I am trying to understand what is happening here:

So dracut configures and brings up (which is new thing?) a network device.
Loader then tries to start NetworkManager. From your patchset
this thing doesn't seem as a problem, I wonder if it takes
control over the devices (even whether NM_CONTROLLED is yes),
but I suppose so.

The problem seems to be that the condition in kickstartNetworkUp()

    if ((is_nm_connected() == TRUE) &&
        (loaderData->netDev != NULL) && (loaderData->netDev_set == 1))
        return 0;

doesn't prevent the device activated in dracut from reactivating.
Shouldn't we better fix this condition for s390x rather than remove
the stuff all over for the arch?

Now why the condition would fail? - I don't think that it is because
of is_nm_connected() - if the active device is controlled by NM it should be
detected (if it is not controlled I imagine it would hit us later).

So is it because of the flags? We used to set them for s390 case
in readNetInfo() you removed in related 471be3d8abebb8565965e0d320c71ead74a7399.
Shouldn't we keep it in? Well, the configuration is written by dracut
instead of linuxrc.s390, but this does not matter, we still need
to suck pre-configuration (be it from linuxrc.s390 or dracut) in loader somehow.

To sum up: to me it seems that readNetInfo shouldn't have been removed,
then the loaderData->netDev and loaderData->netDev_set flags would
be set properly and the condition in kickstartNetworkUp would prevent
device reactivation.


(I am not sure if activating the device in dracut itself would not cause
problems when NM is starting and if it takes it over neatly, but from your
patches it seems that this should work ok and the problems come later.)

Also I have one comment below:


In dracut-land, all of that has already happened, so suppress these
steps on s390x.

NOTE:  This is all taken care on master since loader has been removed.

Why to remove this, especially when it is guarded to not happen on s390?
We need this in other archs.
