[PATCH 1/3] core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe

From: Neil Horman
Date: Fri Jul 27 2007 - 16:04:59 EST


Hey,

Patch 1/3 for the core_pattern enhancements. This removes the check of
RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a
pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Thanks & Regards
Neil
