I am also able to reproduce on Ubuntu 21.04 LTS. all docker will be put in this cgroups and its child cgroups: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/docker disabling and enabling SMT by: echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control echo on > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control or unpluging and pluging CPUs by: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online then all docker images will lose some CPUs. So should we document the broken behaviours somewhere? Thanks barry
