Spawn each tab into a new cgroup for systemd
imciner2 opened this issue · comments
Expected behaviour
The terminal launches each tab into its own systemd scope (viewable using systemd-cgls) if compiled with systemd support. This way when system-oomd is used, each tab can be killed separately and it won't kill the entire terminal when the system reaches a high memory pressure.
A similar feature was requested in gnome-terminal a few years ago (while they were switching to using cgroups) here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/206.
Actual behaviour
All the terminal tabs and processes are lumped into the same scope as the main terminal process.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Run systemd-cgls and see that mate-terminal and bash and any other programs launched in a terminal are all in the same scope.

(none directly, but this is related to the Fedora issues with system-oomd and mate-desktop being killed, such as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068699 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2078108#c1).
