Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] exec: Make do_coredump more robust and safer when
	using pipes in core_pattern (v8)


Patch V8, converting fatal_signal_pending to signal_pending


This patcset provides improvements to the core_pattern infrastructure:

1) Make detection of recurseive core dumps more robust and accurate

2) Provide a sysctl to limit the number of parallel coredumps in flight when
using pipes

3) Allows for the kernel to wait for the completion of user space core dump
processing
