It's not obvious, but I believe this is true now.

Basically in lustre/ptlrpc/service.c we use service->srv_cptable
and that comes from ptlrpc_register_service:
        cptable = cconf->cc_cptable;
        if (cptable == NULL)
                cptable = cfs_cpt_table;
….
        service->srv_cptable            = cptable;
        service->srv_cpts               = cpts;
        service->srv_ncpts              = ncpts;

that on the client it's only called from:
lustre/ldlm/ldlm_lockd.c::ldlm_setup() where we unconditionally assign
                .psc_cpt                = {
                        .cc_pattern             = ldlm_cpts,
                },
But even if there was a different caller, we always use cfs_cpt_table as fallback.

It's also directly used in ptlrpc_hr_init():
        ptlrpc_hr.hr_cpt_table = cfs_cpt_table;

Two callers in lustre/ptlrpc/nrs.c use the same stuff as above.

One caller in lustre/ptlrpc/nrs_fifo.c uses nrs_pol2cptab which is defined as
nrs_pol2svc(policy)->srv_cptable which is again same as above.

There are no other callers.
