> But when we set core_pattern to a file, the container will write dump
> into container's filesystem.

> For example, when we set following core_pattern:

> e" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
> and trigger a segment fault in a container, my_dump_pipe is searched from
> host's filesystem, and it will write coredump into host's filesystem too.

>  # # In a container
>  # echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
>  # make_dump

> Actually, all operation in a container should not change host's
> environment, the container should use core_pattern as its private setting.
> In detail, in core dump action:
> 1: Search pipe program in container's fs namespace.
> 2: Run pipe program in container's fs namespace to write coredump to it.
