The driver version included in the initramfs may be out-of-sync with the
version included in the root file-system's /lib/modules/<kver>
directory, if it does not regenerate initramfs after out-of-tree driver
update. This would cause an incorrect version of the driver to be
used.
This commit makes sure initramfs image will be regenerated after
out-of-tree driver updates, which drivers are loaded during
initramfs stage. It includes ice, i40e, iavf, bnxt-en and
mlnx-ofa_kernel drivers.
The initramfs will not be regenerated for the out-of-tree modules except
ice after commit 6764889c7360803549a0e4762198d7b84f2d31f8
(Drop weak-modules) during the rpm package updates. We can add dracut
for every out-of-tree module in post and postun, that will cause the
package installation/update time becoming very large. So here we use
file-based per-transaction triggers in the kernel package's spec file,
which allow the update procedure to run dracut once per transaction.
Testing:
- An ISO image can be built out successfully.
- Installation of the ISO image is successful with standard and
low-latency profiles.
- Install/uninstall these drivers rpm packages successfully.
- Apply the designer patch that include kernel test pass(rt and std).
- Remove the designer patch that include kernel test pass(rt and std).
