+Subject: [PATCH] internal/cgrouptest: skip when cpu.max is not available
+
+The cpu.max interface file is only present in cgroup v2 when the kernel
+is built with CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH, even if the cpu controller is enabled
+in the parent's cgroup.subtree_control. Without it, SetCPUMax tries to
+create the file, which cgroupfs rejects with EACCES, and TestInCgroupV2
+fails with:
+
+  Erroring setting cpu.max: open /sys/fs/cgroup/go-cgrouptestNNN/cpu.max: permission denied
+
+Skip, like the other best-effort checks in InCgroupV2, when the new
+cgroup does not have cpu.max.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/golang/go/pull/81745]
