Since "listen ... reuseport;" implies a separate listening socket <br>
for each worker process, that's expected with 50 worker processes <br>
and 1200 "listen ... reuseport" in the configuration.<br>

Thanks, so all seem to be using the defaults.<br>
<br>
Looking more closely at Linux limits, it seems that you are <br>
hitting the MAX_ARG_STRLEN limit. It limits single argument <br>
length (and a single environment variable length), and hardcoded <br>
to be 32 pages, that is, almost always 128k. <br>
<br>
With 128k limit nginx should be able to pass about 20k listening <br>
sockets, so with 58340 sockets you are well above the limit.<br>
<br>
An obvious workaround would be to reduce the amount of listening <br>
sockets - either by dropping the "reuseport", or by reducing the <br>
the number of listening sockets (normally just one on the wildcard <br>
address is enough), or by reducing the number of worker processes.<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to know why you are using such a large <br>
number of listening sockets with reuseport enabled. If the use <br>
case is reasonable, we probably should consider implementing some <br>
workaround for the 128k limit.<br>
