I couldn't quite follow what you try to achieve here. I.e. which
processes or services you want to confine and why. And what exactly you did.

Please test if this issue is still reproducible with 227 from unstable
and if so, file the issue at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues.

As for your patch, it's probably best if you create a pull request upstream.

Thanks,
Michael
