For NVLink topology systems we need fabricmanager. Fabricmanager itself is dependent on the datacenter driver set and not the regular x11 ones, it is also tightly tied to the driver version. Furhtermore the current cudaPackages defaults to version 11.8, which corresponds to the 520 datacenter drivers. Future improvement should be to switch the main nvidia datacenter driver version on the `config.cudaVersion` since these are well known from: > https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-compatibility/index.html#use-the-right-compat-package This adds nixos configuration options `hardware.nvidia.datacenter.enable` and `hardware.nvidia.datacenter.settings` (the settings configure fabricmanager) Other interesting external links related to this commit are: * Fabricmanager download site: - https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/fabricmanager/linux-x86_64/ * Data Center drivers: - https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/193711/en-us/ Implementation specific details: * Fabricmanager is added as a passthru package, similar to settings and presistenced. * Adds `use{Settings,Persistenced,Fabricmanager}` with defaults to preserve x11 expressions. * Utilizes mkMerge to split the `hardware.nvidia` module into three comment delimited sections: 1. Common 2. X11/xorg 3. Data Center * Uses asserts to make the configurations mutualy exclusive. Notes: * Data Center Drivers are `x86_64` only. * Reuses the `nvidia_x11` attribute in nixpkgs on enable, e.g. doesn't change it to `nvidia_driver` and sets that to either `nvidia_x11` or `nvidia_dc`. * Should have a helper function which is switched on `config.cudaVersion` like `selectHighestVersion` but rather `selectCudaCompatibleVersion`. |

NixOS
NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the purely functional package management system Nix. More information can be found at https://nixos.org/nixos and in the manual in doc/manual.
Testing changes
You can add new module to your NixOS configuration file (usually it’s /etc/nixos/configuration.nix). And do sudo nixos-rebuild test -I nixpkgs=<path to your local nixpkgs folder> --fast.
Reviewing contributions
When changing the bootloader installation process, extra care must be taken. Grub installations cannot be rolled back, hence changes may break people’s installations forever. For any non-trivial change to the bootloader please file a PR asking for review, especially from @edolstra.
Module updates
Module updates are submissions changing modules in some ways. These often contains changes to the options or introduce new options.
Reviewing process:
- Ensure that the module maintainers are notified.
- CODEOWNERS will make GitHub notify users based on the submitted changes, but it can happen that it misses some of the package maintainers.
- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
loaOfandstringtypes are deprecated). - Description, default and example should be provided.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
- Ensure that option changes are backward compatible.
mkRenamedOptionModuleWithprovides a way to make option changes backward compatible.
- Ensure that removed options are declared with
mkRemovedOptionModule - Ensure that changes that are not backward compatible are mentioned in release notes.
- Ensure that documentations affected by the change is updated.
Sample template for a module update review is provided below.
##### Reviewed points
- [ ] changes are backward compatible
- [ ] removed options are declared with `mkRemovedOptionModule`
- [ ] changes that are not backward compatible are documented in release notes
- [ ] module tests succeed on ARCHITECTURE
- [ ] options types are appropriate
- [ ] options description is set

New modules
New modules submissions introduce a new module to NixOS.
Reviewing process:
- Ensure that the module tests, if any, are succeeding.
- Ensure that the introduced options are correct.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
loaOfandstringtypes are deprecated). - Description, default and example should be provided.
- Type should be appropriate (string related types differs in their merging capabilities,
- Ensure that module
metafield is present- Maintainers should be declared in
meta.maintainers. - Module documentation should be declared with
meta.doc.
- Maintainers should be declared in
- Ensure that the module respect other modules functionality.
- For example, enabling a module should not open firewall ports by default.
