NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit v1.13.0 on GitHub

This is a promotion of the v1.13.0-rc.3 release to GA.

This release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit adds the following features:

Improved support for the Container Device Interface (CDI) specifications for GPU devices when using the NVIDIA Container Toolkit in the context of the GPU Operator.
Added the generation CDI specifications on WSL2-based systems using the nvidia-ctk cdi generate command. This is now the recommended mechanism for using GPUs on WSL2 and podman is the recommended container engine.

NOTE: This release is a unified release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit that consists of the following packages:

The packages for this release are published to the libnvidia-container package repositories.

Full Changelog: v1.12.0...v1.13.0

v1.13.0-rc.3

Only initialize NVML for modes that require it when runing nvidia-ctk cdi generate.
Prefer /run over /var/run when locating nvidia-persistenced and nvidia-fabricmanager sockets.
Fix the generation of CDI specifications for management containers when the driver libraries are not in the LDCache.
Add transformers to deduplicate and simplify CDI specifications.
Generate a simplified CDI specification by default. This means that entities in the common edits in a spec are not included in device definitions.
Also return an error from the nvcdi.New constructor instead of panicing.
Detect XOrg libraries for injection and CDI spec generation.
Add nvidia-ctk system create-device-nodes command to create control devices.
Add nvidia-ctk cdi transform command to apply transforms to CDI specifications.
Add --vendor and --class options to nvidia-ctk cdi generate

Fix segmentation fault when RPC initialization fails.
Build centos variants of the NVIDIA Container Library with static libtirpc v1.3.2.
Remove make targets for fedora35 as the centos8 packages are compatible.

Add nvidia-container-runtime.modes.cdi.annotation-prefixes config option that allows the CDI annotation prefixes that are read to be overridden.
Create device nodes when generating CDI specification for management containers.
Add nvidia-container-runtime.runtimes config option to set the low-level runtime for the NVIDIA Container Runtime

Don't fail chmod hook if paths are not injected
Only create by-path symlinks if CDI devices are actually requested.
Fix possible blank nvidia-ctk path in generated CDI specifications
Fix error in postun scriplet on RPM-based systems
Only check NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES for environment variables if no annotations are specified.
Add cdi.default-kind config option for constructing fully-qualified CDI device names in CDI mode
Add support for accept-nvidia-visible-devices-envvar-unprivileged config setting in CDI mode
Add nvidia-container-runtime-hook.skip-mode-detection config option to bypass mode detection. This allows legacy and cdi mode, for example, to be used at the same time.
Add support for generating CDI specifications for GDS and MOFED devices
Ensure CDI specification is validated on save when generating a spec
Rename --discovery-mode argument to --mode for nvidia-ctk cdi generate

Fix segfault on WSL2 systems. This was triggered in the v1.12.1 and v1.13.0-rc.1 releases.

Add --cdi-enabled flag to toolkit config
Install nvidia-ctk from toolkit container
Use installed nvidia-ctk path in NVIDIA Container Toolkit config
Bump CUDA base images to 12.1.0
Set nvidia-ctk path in the
Add cdi.k8s.io/* to set of allowed annotations in containerd config
Generate CDI specification for use in management containers
Install experimental runtime as nvidia-container-runtime.experimental instead of nvidia-container-runtime-experimental
Install and configure mode-specific runtimes for cdi and legacy modes

Include MIG-enabled devices as GPUs when generating CDI specification
Fix missing NVML symbols when running nvidia-ctk on some platforms [#49]
Add CDI spec generation for WSL2-based systems to nvidia-ctk cdi generate command
Add auto mode to nvidia-ctk cdi generate command to automatically detect a WSL2-based system over a standard NVML-based system.
Add mode-specific (.cdi and .legacy) NVIDIA Container Runtime binaries for use in the GPU Operator
Discover all gsb*.bin GSP firmware files when generating CDI specification.
Align .deb and .rpm release candidate package versions
Remove fedora35 packaging targets

Install nvidia-container-toolkit-operator-extensions package for mode-specific executables.
Allow nvidia-container-runtime.mode to be set when configuring the NVIDIA Container Toolkit
