Problem

Inside a Linux container with cgroup v2 limits, HostResources reported the host's CPU count, host-wide CPU use and host memory, so the load-balancing picker kept choosing a limited container even while it was saturated. Reproduced on main 15fe283: a Docker container started with --cpus=2 --memory=4g on a 16-CPU, 42.7 GB VM reported 16 CPUs and 42.69 GB, and only 12% CPU use while 4 busy loops saturated its 2 CPUs.

Change

On Linux, HostResources resolves the server's own cgroup v2 from /proc/self/cgroup and reads its limits:

• CPU, when cpu.max has a quota:
  • Capacity is min(quota, os.availableParallelism()), which also respects cpusets. cpuCount is that capacity rounded down, at least 1.
  • CPU use is the cpu.stat usage_usec change over the sample. Free CPU is the smaller of the cgroup's and the host's, so agents that run in sibling cgroups still count as load. If cpu.stat can't be read, the host's free CPU alone is used.
• Memory, when memory.max holds a number:
  • Total is min(host total, memory.max).
  • Available is capped at memory.max − (memory.current − inactive_file).
• No limits, cgroup v1, unreadable files, or a platform other than Linux: values are exactly as before.

Scope and approval

Fixes #28228

Verification

• vp test run apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/HostResources.test.ts passes 5 tests, using a fake cgroup filesystem and a mocked node:os:
  • CPU quota and usage: fails on main, expected 16 to equal 1.
  • memory.max with inactive_file: fails on main, host memory instead of 1 GiB.
  • Busy host with an idle 2-CPU cgroup reports 60% use.
  • A cgroup with no limits keeps the host values.
  • With a quota but an unreadable cpu.stat, CPU use falls back to the host's free CPUs instead of null.
• vp run check:changed passes.
• This fix only changes data the server reports, so there are no screenshots. The proof is the tests above plus the runtime transcript below.
• Runtime transcript: the real HostResources layer runs through a small driver inside ubuntu:24.04 Docker containers. Each container has a private cgroup namespace (/proc/self/cgroup is 0::/) and runs on a 16-CPU, 42.7 GB VM. The runs are before = 15fe283 (main) and after = c2a92df. The "no limits" row reports host-wide values, which vary with the shared VM's load.

Container	Before (15fe283)	After (c2a92df)
--cpus=2 --memory=4g, idle	16 CPUs, 11% use, 42.69 GB total / 36.1 GB available	2 CPUs, 0.4% use, 4.29 GB total / 4.24 GB available
--cpus=2 --memory=4g, 4 busy loops	16 CPUs, 12% use	2 CPUs, 92% use
--cpus=2 --memory=4g, 1 busy loop	(not run)	2 CPUs, 50% use
--cpus=1.5	(not run)	1 CPU (same as os.availableParallelism())
--cpuset-cpus=0 --cpus=4, 1 busy loop	(not run)	1 CPU, 100% use
no limits	16 CPUs, 42.69 GB	16 CPUs, 42.69 GB (unchanged)

Walkthrough

HostResources now reports Linux cgroup v2 CPU capacity, CPU utilization, and memory values when limits are available. Tests cover quota and affinity sampling, reclaimable page cache, and fallback behavior.

Changes: Container resource telemetry

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cgroup CPU capacity and utilization apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/HostResources.ts, apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/HostResources.test.ts	HostResources reads cgroup v2 CPU quota and usage, samples CPUs by affinity when the affinity list parses, and computes CPU capacity and utilization over the sampling interval. Tests cover quota-based usage, affinity, host-load fallback, and hosts without cgroup limits.
Cgroup memory limits and availability apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/HostResources.ts, apps/server/src/resourceTelemetry/HostResources.test.ts	When cgroup memory limit and current usage are readable, HostResources caps total memory at the limit and calculates available memory using current usage minus reclaimable inactive file cache. Tests cover unreadable memory data and unlimited limits.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review c13a4

HostResources now reports the container's own CPU and memory limits and usage for load balancing, and falls back to host values when cgroup data is unavailable. No concrete merge-blocking defect remains. Real cgroup v1, hybrid and systemd CPUQuota hosts were not tested, which is normal validation uncertainty.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#28228] requires Linux container resource reporting for CPU capacity, CPU use, and memory. HostResources.ts reads the server cgroup from /proc/self/cgroup, applies cpu.max and memory.max, samples cpu.stat, and accounts for memory.current and inactive_file. It caps CPU capacity with the available CPU set and preserves host fallbacks when cgroup values are unavailable. HostResources.test.ts covers quota usage, memory limits, host load, CPU affinity, unlimited cgroups, and unreadable cgroup files.

Explanation

The changes are limited to HostResources.ts and its tests. CPU affinity handling supports the issue's constrained-container CPU reporting. The tests verify the requested behavior and fallback paths. No unrelated product behavior or unrelated files are changed.

Apply the cgroup cap only when usage is readable.

When memory.max is numeric but the memory.current read fails, the code caps total memory and keeps host-derived available memory. If host MemAvailable is at least the cgroup limit, the returned snapshot can report the full limit as available even when the cgroup is nearly full. The draft picker uses that ratio to score candidates, so it may route a draft to that machine. Cap both values only when memory.current is readable; otherwise keep both host values.

Suggested fix

     if (memoryMax !== null) {
-      totalMemoryBytes = Math.min(totalMemoryBytes, memoryMax);
       const current = cgroupNumber(yield* readFile(`${cgroup}/memory.current`), /^(\d+)$/m);
       if (current !== null) {
+        totalMemoryBytes = Math.min(totalMemoryBytes, memoryMax);
         // inactive_file is page cache the kernel reclaims before hitting memory.max.

- Line 98: Update the host idle calculation around hostIdle to use the CPU count
available to the server, not cpu.count for the whole host, before combining it
with cgroupIdle. Add a focused test where the server is limited to two CPUs on
an eight-CPU host and another workload saturates those available CPUs.

Calculate host idle from CPUs available to the server.

If CPU affinity allows two CPUs on an eight-CPU host, hostIdle includes idle time from the other six. A sibling can saturate both allowed CPUs while this calculation reports zero utilization for an idle cgroup. The load balancer can then select a server with no available CPU capacity. Calculate idle time for the effective CPU set before combining it with cgroupIdle, and add a focused test for this case. Node distinguishes os.cpus().length from available parallelism, and Linux exposes the effective CPU set separately. (nodejs.org)

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

someone else pushed to fix/issue-28228 (head is now c2a92df); the pipeline does not build on commits it did not review

It stays open for a person to finish or close.

Evidence

Run the real web client against a 2-CPU/4-GiB cgroup v2 container and a 1-vCPU/2-GiB available guest. On fresh databases, create the same project on both, saturate the container with four CPU-bound processes, enable load balancing with equal Normal preferences, refresh Auto balance in a new draft, and submit once.

Before	After
c90b678	5770dfd
Complete before recording	Complete after recording
Container reports 8 CPUs, 66.67% CPU utilization and 15.62 GiB total memory; selected Limited-container.	Container reports 2 CPUs, 99.45% CPU utilization and 4 GiB total memory; excluded at the utilization threshold and selected Available-environment.

Both final runs start with zero threads and submit exactly once. Routing stills were extracted from the final frames of their corresponding recordings. Original stills passed byte-identical checks 500 ms apart. Recordings retain the full timeline; a visible mask hides local paths in the central replay output during streaming, while routing and sidebar information remain visible.

Scenario source · Driver and fixture · Actual resource observations · Capture history · Sanitized run records.

The capture history discloses all excluded attempts. An initial base run with a companion sharing the host selected Available-environment and did not reproduce the routing difference. The companion was moved to a genuinely smaller KVM guest before recording the final comparison; both final sides use that same corrected fixture and unchanged driver.

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

• CPU affinity and cpuset-only capacity restrictions were not exercised; this fixture uses CPU quota.
• Sibling-cgroup contention was not isolated; all four load processes share the limited container's cgroup.
• Reclaimable-memory accounting was not stressed with deliberate file-cache or memory pressure.
• Unreadable and unlimited cgroup fallback cases were not explicitly fault-injected.
• Desktop Electron shell and mobile clients were not run; the captured reproduction uses the real web client.
