From f664a99613e1ef4acfa680318c203e8a9fadd3aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?J=C3=A9r=C3=A9mie=20Galarneau?= Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 11:17:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Tests: Introduce conf_proc_count() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tests are using the nproc utility which return the number of _available_ CPUs. The distinction between online, available and configured CPUs is subtle, but important. The number of "online" CPUs can change at runtime as CPUs are hot-plugged. This could happen during a test and result in unexpected results. The number of "configured" CPUs includes any CPU which may be offline at the time. The number of "available" CPUs, which is what is returned by the nproc utility, may differ from both "online" and "configured" counts. This is the case in containers which are assigned to a subset of configured CPUs.
