NVIDIA Publishes Open-Source Linux Driver Code For GPU Virtualization "vGPU" Support

[Jabberwocky]

WSL2 supports that now and they forced NVIDIA to make GPU-P work for Linux under pain of not having their drivers WDDM 3.0 certified (necessary to leverage new graphics features under Windows 11). Linux kernel devs also require FOSS userland tools to enable testing as a pre-requisite for mainlining kernel modules (Microsoft got stung by this on LKML multiple times, as did EMC for VMWare) so something tells me NVIDIA will be forced to at least support a single VM form of vGPU support without those issues or face rejection.

Very interesting.

Just by chance I found this random gist thread: https://gist.github.com/krzys-h/e2de...316dfb794f4d6a

I really want to try this out, but working 16 hours a day at the moment.

Heck, even just making PCIe reset perfectly reliable would already be a massive improvement over the way things worked (or rather, the way thing failed) the last few times I tried PCIe passthrough with AMD GPUs!

Pcie reset has been working flawlessly on my rx6700xt for years…
