[pve-devel] [PATCH manager/nvidia-vgpu-helper v3 0/6] reduce setup steps for nvidia vgpu drivers

[Hannes Duerr]

Changes in v3:
* install headers for every installed kernel version by default
* additionally add patch to only install headers for running kernel
  version and newer ones, this requires the new dependency
  "libdpkg-perl"
* remove unnecessary intrusive "Dpkg:Options::=--force-confnew"
* rename systemd template unit to "pve-nvidia-sriov@.service"
* check if path "/usr/lib/nvidia/sriov-manage" exists in systemd
  template unit


Changes in v2:
* patches contain all changes to build new repository
* make pve-manager depend on this package instead of the other way around
* install the script to /usr/bin/
* rename the script to pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper because it is only
  relevant for PVE(the repository should therefore also be renamed
  when created)

The aim of the repository is to reduce the necessary installation
steps for the Nvidia VGPU drivers [0]. The package installs a script
which can be used to check and install necessary dependencies and a
systemd template service which can be used to configure the SR-IOV per
pci-id

Part of the changes would later be the adjustment of the wiki page

[0] https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/NVIDIA_vGPU_on_Proxmox_VE

pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper:

Hannes Duerr (5):
  create a debian package to make the installation of Nvidia vGPU
    drivers more convenient
  debian/control: add dependency for helper script
  add pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper and Makefile to make dependency installtion
    more convenient
  debian: add and install pve-nvidia-sriov systemd template unit file
  script: install headers for running and newer kernel version only


pve-manager:

Hannes Duerr (1):
  debian/control: add pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper as dependency

Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH manager/nvidia-vgpu-helper v3 0/6] reduce setup steps for nvidia vgpu drivers

[Dominik Csapak]

Looks mostly good and tested fine, but still a two comments:

* IMHO patch 5/5 could be squashed into 3/5 (no need add code that gets changed immediately
   afterwards)

* did you read thomas message for the service file last time around?
   https://lore.proxmox.com/pve-devel/fa1425a5-c8c8-4bed-814f-25169759e5e4@proxmox.com/

   patch 4/5 does not have a commit message, so this would be good
   and as thomas said the sleep 5 could be replaced by a short script that
   checks the actual condition (IIRC if the correct nvidia daemon is loaded,
   I would have to check if you need that info

(not sure if these are blockers though from @Thomas' side)

actually, i just found an issue with the newer kernel detection:

i installed `proxmox-kernel-6.11` and ran the tool
it prompted me to install:

proxmox-headers-6.11.11-1-pve
Would you like to install them now (y/n)?

but if we only install this package, the next 6.11 update will not get the correct headers,
we instead have to install the package 'proxmox-headers-6.11'

so we only should ever look at the 'x.yy' of the kernel, otherwise users
ran into an issue later on
