Would you explain more about case #3 here? In particular, I'm curious what the impact is for systems that have already configured core_pattern with the understanding that the program might be invoked to handle either a host or a container core. In particular, is there any way to specify that the container handler fall back to the host handler?
On the systems that I've configured, /proc/sys is mounted read-only in the container. The host has a special program run from core_pattern that determines which container generated the core. It then stores the cores in a directory that uniquely identifies the container. The cores are isolated on their own filesystem, and given a quota per-container. The eventual goal is to have a service evacuate the cores to an object store where we can make them available to the customer via a web service.
Does your change still allow a global handler in the host to process cores from containers? Or is that behavior removed completely?
