Evan Lezar 35df24d63a Make handling of nvidia-ctk path consistent 
This change adds an --nvidia-ctk-path to the nvidia-ctk cdi generate
command. This ensures that the executable path for the generated
hooks can be specified consistently.

Since the NVIDIA Container Runtime already allows for the executable
path to be specified in the config the utility code to update the
LDCache and create other nvidia-ctk hooks are also updated.

NVIDIA Container Toolkit CLI

The NVIDIA Container Toolkit CLI nvidia-ctk provides a number of utilities that are useful for working with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit.

Functionality

Configure runtimes

The runtime command of the nvidia-ctk CLI provides a set of utilities to related to the configuration and management of supported container engines.

For example, running the following command:

nvidia-ctk runtime configure --set-as-default

will ensure that the NVIDIA Container Runtime is added as the default runtime to the default container engine.

Generate CDI specifications

The Container Device Interface (CDI) provides a vendor-agnostic mechanism to make arbitrary devices accessible in containerized environments. To allow NVIDIA devices to be used in these environments, the NVIDIA Container Toolkit CLI includes functionality to generate a CDI specification for the available NVIDIA GPUs in a system.

In order to generate the CDI specification for the available devices, run the following command:\

nvidia-ctk cdi generate

The default is to print the specification to STDOUT and a filename can be specified using the --output flag.

The specification will contain a device entries as follows (where applicable):

  • An nvidia.com/gpu=gpu{INDEX} device for each non-MIG-enabled full GPU in the system
  • An nvidia.com/gpu=mig{GPU_INDEX}:{MIG_INDEX} device for each MIG-device in the system
  • A special device called nvidia.com/gpu=all which represents all available devices.

For example, to generate the CDI specification in the default location where CDI-enabled tools such as podman, containerd, cri-o, or the NVIDIA Container Runtime can be configured to load it, the following command can be run:

sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml

(Note that sudo is used to ensure the correct permissions to write to the /etc/cdi folder)

With the specification generated, a GPU can be requested by specifying the fully-qualified CDI device name. With podman as an exmaple:

podman run --rm -ti --device=nvidia.com/gpu=gpu0 ubuntu nvidia-smi -L
