Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: set kernel.core_pipe_limit=16
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We need to make sure that our coredump pattern handler manages to read
|
||
|
|
process metadata from /proc/$PID/ before the kernel reaps the crashed
|
||
|
|
process. By default the kernel will reap the process as soon as it can.
|
||
|
|
By setting kernel.core_pipe_limit to a non-zero the kernel will wait for
|
||
|
|
userspace to finish before reaping.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We'll set the value to 16, which allows 16 crashes to be
|
||
|
|
processed in parallel. This matches the MaxConnections= setting in
|
||
|
|
systemd-coredump.socket.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See: #17301
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(This doesn't close 17301, since we probably should also gracefully
|
||
|
|
handle if /proc/$PID/ vanished already while our coredump handler runs,
|
||
|
|
just in case people loclly set the sysctl back to zero. i.e. we should
|
||
|
|
collect what we can and rather issue an incomplete log record than
|
||
|
|
none.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(cherry picked from commit 2a9b9323cd844baae3229e9dba67e478bee70654)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Resolves: #1949729
