Ah, right, I forgot – since this is done in the service child (right before exec) and not in the main process, you probably need to add the -f option to make strace follow forks...

Thanks for your reply. It reproduced nicely with the command you gave.
Seems like nothing related to close_range returning EINVAL, only the
following calls returned EINVAL:
cat systemd-failing.trace | grep EINVAL
prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x30 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_PERFMON) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
read(4, 0x55675a75b0, 4095) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
mount("cgroup2", "/proc/self/fd/4", "cgroup2",
MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_NOEXEC, "nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot") = -1
EINVAL (Invalid argument)
I have attached the full strace output, in case that would be useful?
Thanks
Chris
