2022-09-09 11:08:18 Alberto Milone description The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for datacenter GPUs: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/ [ Impact ] * The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for datacenter GPUs: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/ Currently, this is only production-ready (and enabled) on datacenter GPUs. * We should enable signed modules for the 515-open drivers, giving users the option to try the drivers. * The ubuntu-drivers tool should set a lower priority for the -open flavour, so that we do not end up recommending it over the plain 515 flavour. [ Test Plan ] * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. * if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this update, this should also be described here. [ Where problems could occur ] * Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up? * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event of a regression. * This must '''never''' be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why your upload is low risk. * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. [ Other Info ] * Anything else you think is useful to include * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board * and address these questions in advance

[ Test Plan ] * [ubuntu-drivers-common]: "sudo ubuntu-drivers install (to make sure the driver is not installed by default)" * [nvidia driver] "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515-open" to make sure that the driver can be installed manually. Please make sure that this installs the correct linux-restricted-modules. Note: support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is alpha-quality, and is disabled by default. This means that desktop testing is not needed at the moment. [ Where problems could occur ] * This adds a new driver combination, which is not meant to be default, and is only enabled for a limited amount of devices (datacenter GPUs). * We need to be sure that the driver is not recommended over the other drivers.
