Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests/cgroup: Adjust cpu.max quota based on HZ
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:43:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622194305.601392-1-joest@redhat.com> (raw)

For lower HZ values a quota of 1000us is much lower than the amount
of microseconds per tick which makes the tests test_cpucg_max and
test_cpugc_max_nested fail. Use the amount of microseconds per tick
as the quota value.

Signed-off-by: Joe Simmons-Talbott <joest@redhat.com>

changes since v1:
- Try checking /proc/config.gz to get the actual kernel HZ value and
  fallback to 1000 if the value cannot be determined.
