Description Daniel Berrangé 2010-09-21 14:53:30 UTC

Description of problem:
Instead of requiring a coredump path to be passed into the driver, provide a standard coredump paths and always dump to that location. This allows sensible SELinux policy to be created.

We do have panic and watchdog auto dumps to a per-domain path in /var/lib, that sounds roughly what this is requesting. I guess we could always add a 'managed core dump' API similar to managedsave, but not sure how much demand there is for that.
