They basically suggested that the memory and performance cost of large numbers of fds on current kernels is cheap, and that we should bump the hard limit in systemd for all userspace processes. I have thus prepared this a few days ago: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10244 This should have the effect on systemd systems that do not patch around in RLIMIT_NOFILE otherwise that the new default hard limit for all userspace is 256K (though the soft limit remains at 1K, for compat with select()). AFAIK Fedora doesn't override RLIMIT_NOFILE artificially, hence these new systemd upstream defaults should trickle down to Fedora too. This is not quite the 1M you appear to ask for though… I picked 256K mostly because I wanted to stay lower than the kernel built-in max (which is 1M, i.e. /proc/sys/fs/nr_open), and needed to pick something. Do you have any particular reason to prefer 1M over 256K? I am completely open to suggestions there...
