Yes, flag `PreferContainerQuotaForCPUCount` is [true by default](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/739769c8/src/hotspot/os/linux/globals_linux.hpp#L62). Therefore, [my current implementation](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/3656/commits/b052b624c84) might be a minimal implementation.

We can also cover the case where `PreferContainerQuotaForCPUCount` is false. There are two different ways.
1. To access the value of `PreferContainerQuotaForCPUCount`, so that we can decide if we should use `quota` or (`quota` &  `share`);
2. Reuse `CgroupSubsystem::active_processor_count`. However, the function returns an integer. It is more reasonable to use a floating number.

Looking forward to your suggestion.
