That doesn't help when we were trying to run ppc64 qemu instances, since those were launched from libvirtd, and therefore from systemd (see the bug I filed which the original poster linked to). It also shouldn't be necessary to have to faff around with memory limits to do ordinary operations like starting a VM or trying to use GNOME keyring. The 64K limit is obviously much too low. In answer to the original poster, this limit comes from the kernel (include/uapi/linux/resource.h MLOCK_LIMIT), so I think we need to persuade the kernel maintainers to fix this.
