Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 0/2] sched: Fix incorrect nproc report inside CT
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:51:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-ct-invalid-nrpoc-v1-0-48727c3afe16@virtuozzo.com> (raw)

We observed weird nproc behavior - it reported 64 CPUs
no matter what the CT limits were or how many CPUs the host
actually had.

nproc code uses sched_getaffinity syscall under the hood[1].
It appears that this syscall returned complete nonsence when
called from VE - we ignored both num_online_vcpus and
cgroup cpuset limitations.

Now it is fixed and a new selftest is added.
