Public bug reported: [Impact]
Prior to Noble (since Bionic or so), we shipped systemd-journald.service with Nice=-1 due to bug 1696970. In Noble, we intended to do this with a drop-in config instead of an out-of-tree patch [1]. But, this drop-in was mistakenly shipped for systemd-logind.service, instead of systemd- journald.service. This means the mitigation for bug 1696970 is no longer in place on Noble, and users could potentially see regressions. [Test] Check that systemd-journald.service has Nice=-1 configured (and that systemd-logind.service does not): $ systemctl show -p Nice systemd-journald.service $ systemctl show -p Nice systemd-logind.service [Where problems could occur] Clearly, we should be careful that the drop-in is shipped for the correct service, otherwise we may apply the setting to the wrong unit. [Other information] I have not actually seen any regressions reported about this, but as we intended to keep the Nice=-1 setting for systemd-journald.service, we should restore it.
