Note that "systemd-coredump" will honour the resource limit anyway, even if the kernel ignores it as soon as a core_pattern is installed. I am pretty sure we should honour resource limits if they are set, as they are pretty OK and well-documented way how to enable and disable coredump collection, and well, putting limits on them. Note that abrtd (to my knowledge) ignores the resource limit, and will collect coredumps in anyway if if disabled with it. " ABRT does not ignore the resource limit. If the limit is not 0, ABRT creates a core file according the value of 'sysctl kernel.core_pattern' before it was changed to ABRT pattern. This basically means that ABRT creates core file in prorcess' CWD if the limit (ulimit -c) is not 0. This is the behavior we are used to. However, it is true that ABRT creates a core dump file in /var/spool/abrt/ regardless of the limit. It is possible to tell kernel to skip core dumping at all by setting "RLIMIT _CORE" to 1.
