NVIDIA has released a set of 13 patches to the mailing list introducing a vGPU manager and VFIO variant driver for its open-source Nova kernel graphics driver. This development enables vGPU management and supports VFIO users utilizing QEMU for both Linux and Windows virtual machines, all powered by the Nova driver.
NVIDIA is significantly investing in the Nova driver stack, with promising future developments anticipated for NVIDIA on Linux. The new patches facilitate a specific control path, as illustrated in a diagram shared with the release.
It is important to note that the supported NVIDIA physical GPUs are likely to be workstation and data center products, rather than consumer GeForce GPUs. Interested parties can examine the patch series for further details. The continued development of the Nova driver is expected to eventually lead to its availability for general end-user use within the mainline kernel.
