[pve-devel] [PATCH manager/nvidia-vgpu-helper v3 0/5] reduce setup steps for nvidia vgpu drivers

[Hannes Duerr]

Changes in v4:
in commits

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

[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper v3 3/4] add pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper and Makefile to make dependency installation more convenient

[Hannes Duerr]

We add the pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper script to simplify the installation of
the required Nvidia Vgpu driver dependencies.
The script performs the following tasks
- install consistent dependencies
- check the currently running kernel and install the necessary kernel
  headers for the running kernel and any newer kernels installed
- blacklist the competing nouveau driver and add the opt-out flag
  --no-blacklist
We also add a Makefile to help build the Debian package and install the
script

Notes:
    Changes in V4:
    * add `--help` option displaying the usage
    * as suggested by @Dominik we squash the patch, to only install headers
      for running kernel version and newer ones, into this one
    * install `proxmox-headers-$major.$minor-pve` package so that the
      headers for future updates are also installed directly
    * blacklist the nouveau driver by default and add opt-out flag
      `--no-blacklist`

[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper v3 4/4] debian: add and install pve-nvidia-sriov systemd template unit file

[Hannes Duerr]

SR-IOV must be enabled each time the system is restarted.
This systemd service should take over this task and enable SR-IOV per
pci-id/gpu after a system restart.

Signed-off-by: Hannes Duerr <h.duerr@proxmox.com>

Notes:
    Changes in v4:
    * Change nvidia-vgpud.service nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service to `Before=`
      targets and remove the 5 seconds sleep in `ExecStartPre=` because it
      is not needed anymore
