Another simple test. cat mtsleep.c: #include <unistd.h> #include <pthread.h> void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t th; pthread_create(&th, NULL, tfunc, NULL); pause(); return 0; } Now, # echo '|/bin/sleep 1000' >> /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern # echo 10 >> /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit # ./mtsleep & # kill -QUIT %1 # perl -e 'push @_,"x" x 1000_1000 while 1' Before this series the system hangs and doesn't respond. With these patches it correctly kills perl.
