# Allow that 16 coredumps are dispatched in parallel by the kernel. We want to
# be able to collect process metadata from /proc/%P/ while processing
# coredumps, and thus need to make sure the crashed processes are not reaped
# until we finished collecting what we need. The kernel default for this sysctl
# is "0" which means the kernel doesn't wait for userspace processes to finish
# processing before reaping the crashed processes — by setting this higher the
# kernel will delay reaping until we are done, but only for the specified
# number of crashes in parallel. The value of 16 is chosen to match
# systemd-coredump.socket's MaxConnections= value.

# Also dump processes executing a set-user-ID/set-group-ID program that is
# owned by a user/group other than the real user/group ID of the process, or
# a program that has file capabilities. ("2" is called "suidsafe" in core(5)).
#
# systemd-coredump will store the core file owned by the effective uid and gid
# of the running process (and not the filesystem-user-ID which the kernel uses
# when saving a core dump).
