Please follow the current state of this here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10244 I have been discussing with some upstream kernel folks, and some more obstacles showed up (specifically, I was advised that we really should bump fs.file-max and fs.nr_open sysctls to their maximums these days, as these limits are not really useful anymore given that fd memory is properly tracked by memcg anyways these days), which I have now covered in the PR above. This is waiting for review, but should enter systemd upstream soon, and will then eventually trickle into Fedora.
