    Description

      MongoDB 3.2+ introduced the secure allocator.

      This can be used by both the encrypted storage engine and during authentication. With a low locked memory ulimit the following error can cause a crash.

      Failed to mlock: errno:12 Cannot allocate memory
      Fatal Assertion 28832

      I propose updating all init.d/systemctl scripts to automatically set an unlimited locked memory ulimit for mongod.
