From 2bf509d96d84c3336d08375e8af34d1b85ee71c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Menglong Dong Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2020 22:14:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] coredump: fix core_pattern parse error 'format_corename()' will splite 'core_pattern' on spaces when it is in pipe mode, and take helper_argv[0] as the path to usermode executable. It works fine in most cases. However, if there is a space between '|' and '/file/path', such as '| /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g', then helper_argv[0] will be parsed as '', and users will get a 'Core dump to | disabled'. It is not friendly to users, as the pattern above was valid previously. Fix this by ignoring the spaces between '|' and '/file/path'.
