问题
Though I have done the following setting, and even restarted the server:
# head /etc/security/limits.conf -n2
www-data soft nofile -1
www-data hard nofile -1
# /sbin/sysctl fs.file-max
fs.file-max = 201558
The open files limitation of specific process is still 1024/4096:
# ps aux | grep nginx
root 983 0.0 0.0 85872 1348 ? Ss 15:42 0:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx
www-data 984 0.0 0.2 89780 6000 ? S 15:42 0:00 nginx: worker process
www-data 985 0.0 0.2 89780 5472 ? S 15:42 0:00 nginx: worker process
root 1247 0.0 0.0 11744 916 pts/0 S+ 15:47 0:00 grep --color=auto nginx
# cat /proc/984/limits
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units

I've tried all possible solutions from googling but in vain. What setting did I miss?
回答1:
On CentOS (tested on 7.x):
Create file /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d/override.conf with the following contents:
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65536
Reload systemd daemon with:
systemctl daemon-reload
Add this to Nginx config file:
worker_rlimit_nofile 16384; (has to be smaller or equal to LimitNOFILE set above)
And finally restart Nginx:
systemctl restart nginx
You can verify that it works with cat /proc/<nginx-pid>/limits.

I found the answer in few minutes after posting this question...
# cat /etc/default/nginx
# Note: You may want to look at the following page before setting the ULIMIT.
# http://wiki.nginx.org/CoreModule#worker_rlimit_nofile
# Set the ulimit variable if you need defaults to change.
# Example: ULIMIT="-n 4096"
ULIMIT="-n 15000"
/etc/security/limit.conf is used by PAM, so it shoud be nothing to do with www-data (it's nologin user).
回答3:
For nginx simply editing nginx.conf and setting worker_rlimit_nofile should change the limitation.
I initially thought it is a self-imposed limit of nginx, but it increases limit per process:
worker_rlimit_nofile 4096;
You can test by getting a nginx process ID (from top -u nginx), then run:
cat /proc/{PID}/limits
To see the current limits
Another way on CentOS 7 is by systemctl edit SERVICE_NAME, add the variables there:
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65536
save that file and reload the service.
