The patch titled
core_pattern: allow passing of arguments to user mode helper when core_pattern is a pipe
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
core_pattern-allow-passing-of-arguments-to-user-mode-helper-when-core_pattern-is-a-pipe.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: core_pattern: allow passing of arguments to user mode helper when core_pattern is a pipe
From: Neil Horman <nhorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A rewrite of my previous post for this enhancement. It uses jeremy's
split_argv/free_argv library functions to translate core_pattern into an argv
array to be passed to the user mode helper process. It also adds a
translation to format_corename such that the origional value of RLIMIT_CORE
can be passed to userspace as an argument.
