+# Container Resource Detection
+
+RustFS automatically detects container resource limits (CPU and memory) from cgroup v1/v2. This ensures correct resource allocation and accurate metrics in containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.).
+
+## Problem
+
+When RustFS runs in a container, the underlying system libraries report the **host's** total CPU cores and memory, not the container's limits. This leads to:
+
+1. **Over-provisioned Tokio threads**: Too many worker and blocking threads
+2. **Incorrect memory metrics**: `rustfs_memory_usage_percent` shows host-based percentage
+3. **Memory budget errors**: Object data cache sized to host RAM instead of container limit
+4. **OOMKills**: Container exceeds its memory limit and gets killed
+
+## Solution
+
+RustFS now detects cgroup limits directly from the filesystem:
+
+- **CPU**: `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max` (v2) or `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.cfs_quota_us` (v1)
+- **Memory**: `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory.max` (v2) or `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes` (v1)
+
+The effective resource limits are the **minimum** of host and cgroup values.
+
+## Detection Logic
+
+### CPU Detection
+
+1. Read cgroup v2 `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max`
+   - Format: `"$QUOTA $PERIOD"` or `"max"` (unlimited)
+   - Calculate: `cores = ceil(quota / period)`
+2. Fallback to cgroup v1 `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.cfs_quota_us`
+   - Calculate: `cores = ceil(quota / period)`
+3. Fallback to host CPU count from `sysinfo`
+
+### Memory Detection
+
+1. Read cgroup v2 `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory.max`
+   - Value in bytes or `"max"` (unlimited)
+2. Fallback to cgroup v1 `/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes`
+   - Very large values (≥2^62) indicate unlimited
+3. Fallback to host memory from `sysinfo`
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Disable Cgroup Detection
+
+```bash
+RUSTFS_DISABLE_CGROUP_DETECTION=1
+```
+
+Disables cgroup detection entirely. Useful for testing or when cgroup filesystem is not accessible.
+
+### Override CPU Cores
+
+```bash
+RUSTFS_OVERRIDE_CPU_CORES=4
+```
+
+Overrides detected CPU cores. Takes precedence over cgroup detection.
+
+### Override Memory Limit
+
+```bash
+RUSTFS_OVERRIDE_MEMORY_BYTES=2147483648
+```
+
+Overrides detected memory limit in bytes. Takes precedence over cgroup detection.
+
+## Metrics
+
+### New Metrics
+
+| Metric | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `rustfs_memory_effective_total_bytes` | Effective memory total (host or cgroup) |
+| `rustfs_cgroup_detected` | Whether cgroup limits were detected (1=yes, 0=no) |
+| `rustfs_cgroup_cpu_cores_limit` | Detected CPU cores limit |
+| `rustfs_cgroup_memory_limit_bytes` | Detected memory limit |
+
+### Updated Metrics
+
+| Metric | Change |
+|--------|--------|
+| `rustfs_memory_total_bytes` | Now uses effective memory (cgroup-aware) |
+| `rustfs_memory_usage_percent` | Now calculated against effective memory |
+
+## Startup Logging
+
+RustFS logs detected container resources at startup:
+
+```
+INFO container resources (detected from cgroup) cpu_cores=2 memory_bytes=1073741824 memory_mib=1024
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+INFO container resources (overridden by environment variables) cpu_cores=4 memory_bytes=2147483648 memory_mib=2048
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Kubernetes with Resource Limits
+
+```yaml
+resources:
+  limits:
+    cpu: "2"
+    memory: "1Gi"
+  requests:
+    cpu: "500m"
+    memory: "512Mi"
+```
+
+RustFS will detect:
+- CPU cores: 2
+- Memory: 1 GiB (1073741824 bytes)
+
+### Docker with CPU and Memory Limits
+
+```bash
+docker run --cpus=2 --memory=1g rustfs/rustfs:latest
+```
+
+RustFS will detect:
+- CPU cores: 2
+- Memory: 1 GiB
+
+### Manual Override
+
+```bash
+export RUSTFS_OVERRIDE_CPU_CORES=4
+export RUSTFS_OVERRIDE_MEMORY_BYTES=2147483648
+```
+
+RustFS will use:
+- CPU cores: 4
+- Memory: 2 GiB
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Cgroup Detection Not Working
+
+1. Check if cgroup filesystem is mounted:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/
+   ```
+
+2. Check cgroup version:
+   ```bash
+   stat -fc %T /sys/fs/cgroup/
+   ```
+   - `cgroup2fs` = cgroup v2
+   - `tmpfs` = cgroup v1
+
+3. Check if limits are set:
+   ```bash
+   # cgroup v2
+   cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max
+   cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.max
+
+   # cgroup v1
+   cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.cfs_quota_us
+   cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes
+   ```
+
+### Metrics Show Host Values
+
+If `rustfs_memory_effective_total_bytes` shows host memory instead of cgroup limit:
+
+1. Verify cgroup detection is not disabled:
+   ```bash
+   echo $RUSTFS_DISABLE_CGROUP_DETECTION
+   ```
+
+2. Check startup logs for cgroup detection:
+   ```bash
+   grep "container resources" /logs/rustfs.log
+   ```
+
+3. Use environment variable override as workaround:
+   ```bash
+   export RUSTFS_OVERRIDE_MEMORY_BYTES=1073741824
+   ```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+- `rustfs/src/cgroup_resources.rs` - Core cgroup detection logic
+- `rustfs/src/container_config.rs` - Container configuration with overrides
+- `rustfs/src/memory_observability.rs` - Updated memory metrics
+- `rustfs/src/server/runtime.rs` - Updated Tokio runtime configuration
+- `rustfs/src/startup_entrypoint.rs` - Startup logging
+
+### Performance Impact
+
+- **Startup**: One-time detection adds ~1ms overhead
+- **Runtime**: Cached values, no repeated filesystem reads
+- **Memory**: Negligible (<1KB for cached values)
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+All detection functions are thread-safe and use `OnceLock` for caching.

+//! This module provides a single source of truth for detecting and applying
+//! container resource limits (CPU and memory) from cgroup v1/v2.
+//!
+//! # Platform Support
+//!
+//! - **Linux**: Full cgroup v1/v2 support
+//! - **macOS/Windows**: Falls back to host values (cgroup not available)
+//!
+//! # Design Principles
+//!
+//! - **Single source of truth**: All cgroup detection logic lives here
+//! - **Thread-safe**: Results are cached in `OnceLock` after first detection
+//! - **Zero-cost fallback**: Non-Linux platforms return host values immediately
+//! - **Environment overrides**: Operators can override detected values via env vars
