[systemd-devel] user slice changes for uid ranges

[Stijn De Weirdt]

hi all,

i'm looking for an "easy" way to set resource limits on a group of users.

we are lucky enough that this group of users is within a (although
large) high enough range, so a range of uids is ok for us.

generating a user-<uid>.slice file for every user (or symlink them or
whatever) looks a bit cumbersome, and probably not really performance
friendly if the range is in eg 100k (possible) uids.

e.g. if this range was 100k-200k, i was more looking for a way to do
e.g. user-1XXXXX.slice or user-100000:200000.slice

(i think this is different from/not covered by the templated/prefix user
slice patch
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/5396624506e155c4bc10c0ee65b939600860ab67)

many thanks for any suggestion,

stijn
