Subject: [PATCH v2 03/22] coredump: set the minimum send buffer size
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 01:09:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820-work-coredump-sparse-v2-3-ba32dd718c51@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820-work-coredump-sparse-v2-0-ba32dd718c51@kernel.org>

The send buffer of the coredump socket is subject to the limit in
net.core.wmem_default. af_unix uses sk_sndbuf / 2 - 64 bytes for a
single skb. That means a send buffer below that would split a page-sized
write into multiple skbs. Raise the send buffer to leave room for a
page-sized write plus the header. The default value is well above that.
So we really change it when it's below our minimum.
