Could it be you are hitting this https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3211  (also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11675129 ) - besides the open files limit some systemd versions (before it was bumped to a relative value) are screwed with the default 512 tasks limit.

At least I got this after some update on OpenSuse Leap 42.2 and since the systemd service file for Mariadb doesn't specify Tasks everything went south immediately.

So from now on I'm setting DefaultTasksMax=infinity in the global systemd config.
