Title:
[SRU] Support to install nvidia driver by allowing list
Status in OEM Priority Project:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* In NVIDIA new GPU release cycle, NVIDIA ships their new GPUs to
OEM/ODM for production.
In the meantime, NVIDIA usually notify OEM/ODM/Canonical (under NDA)
to use a specific nvidia version to development/production.
NVIDIA and OEN/ODM will announce the next generation combination at
the same time usually when the factory ready to ship the product.
We made Ubuntu as a leading distribution supports many cutting edge
devices, it's time to have an official way to make the nvidia
installation consistent in unannounced (yet) nvidia devices to support
OEM/ODM factory shipment for our growing counterparts.
[ Test Plan ]
* For this feature which only impact if the target system has a
custom file "/etc/custom_supported_gpus.json"
If the file presents, it will effect packages_for_modalias() and
_is_runtimepm_supported(). Both functions are important when "ubuntu-
driver install" a nvidia driver.
For installing nvidia driver, u-d-c has several test in autopkgtest which
contains:
* different branch type: LTS/PB/NFB/Legacy..
* different version type: 390/470/495/510/520/525..
* For this particular feature, we created a new autopkgtest
test_system_driver_packages_force_install_nvidia() which not only secure this
FFE but each version bump.
which contains:
1. Normal case (Stock ubuntu), without /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json in the
system.
2. If /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json contains incorrect json field / format.
3. /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json point to the older version than candidate.
4. /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json point to the same version than candidate.
5. /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json point to a non-exist version of
ubuntu-archive (source list).
and you can see from "buildlog" attachment, all passed as well as
"test_system_driver_packages_force_install_nvidia()"
Refer https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/pull/71 for
more details.
* Steps to make sure it works:
1. pick a cutting edge nvidia graphic.
2. remove nv-525 from the pool.
3. add ppa, apt update and reboot.
4. check the nv support status:
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
```
5. modify custom file
```
$ cat /etc/custom_supported_gpus.json
{
"chips": [
{
"devid": "0x24BA",
"name": "TEST 24BA",
"branch": "580.1234",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
},
{
"devid": "0x25BC",
"name": "TEST 25BC",
"branch": "510",
"features": [
"runtimepm"
]
}
]
}
```
6. make sure the hook works
```
$ ubuntu-drivers list
nvidia-driver-510, (kernel modules provided by nvidia-dkms-510)
oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode
libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom
oem-somerville-cinccino-meta
[ 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.
