Description

memlockd isn’t running in Tails/Jessie. Likely our many sysvinit-specific kludges for memlockd need to be adapted. In Jessie, memlockd ships with a native systemd unit file.

Also:

  • we may want to use OOMScoreAdjust
  • we should find how to replace our usage of sendsigs.omit.d with systemd

Seems like the memlockd package installs a unit file, but doesn’t enable it: https://bugs.debian.org/714957.

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Resolved
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100
  • memlockd startup: fixed in commit 1ebed7d
  • OOMScoreAdjust (bonus we didn’t have with sysvinit): done in commit 4e303801

=> what’s left (aside from rewriting this pile of initscripts as native systemd unit files) is now tracked as Feature #8260, so closing as resolved.
