Subject: Re: [PATCH_v4.1_3/3] Make core_pattern support namespace

Hi, Aleksa Sarai:
Sorry for the late replay.

 > what happens if you have processes in the same pidns that have 
different mount namespaces?
We support this. The coredump file will be saved in the same mount 
namespace with the processes. This is implemented by patch
<Limit dump_pipe program's permission to init for container>

Thanks.
