[Bug 1628168] [NEW] Can't assign system with multiple GPUs to different VMs

 

Public bug reported:

I have an OS Mitaka deployment that was done by Fuel (9.0).

I have a system with 8GPUs in a single box. We are trying to allow VMs
to request access to GPU resources via this box.

I know that with PCI Passthrough you can only have a device assigned to
a single VM (e.g. 1 device <-> 1 VM). However, this box has 8 GPUs (8
separate devices). So I want support (1GPU -> 1VM) * 8, or (2GPU -> 1VM)
* 4, (4GPU -> 1VM) * 2, or (8GPU -> 1VM) * 1.

I have successfully been able to get the system to have 1 GPU <-> 1 VM,
however when I go to create another VM with a GPU I get "not enough
hosts found".

This is what I have done so far.

/etc/nova/nova.conf

Add:
 Pic_passthrough_whitelist = [{"vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "17c2"}]

sudo gedit /etc/modules and add:
 pci_stub
 vfio
 vfio_iommu_type1
 vfio_pci
 kvm
 kvm_intel

Sudo vi /etc/default/grub
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=on vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1"

//BLACKLIST

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
 pci_stub ids=10de:17c2
 sudo update-initramfs -u

On Controller Node:

Edit nova.conf

Add specifically for GPU you want to use!

pci_alias={"vendor_id":"10de", "product_id":"17c2", "name":"titanx"}
 Add

scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler
 scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
 scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.pci_passthrough_filter.PciPassthroughFilter
 scheduler_default_filters=RamFilter,ComputeFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,PciPassthroughFilter

#: source openrc
 Nova flavor-key g1.xlarge set "pci_passthrough:alias"="titanx:1"

Actual Results: 
When I go to create my second VM with the same flavor it errors out with this message. (If I create 1 VM it works and a GPU is assigned to that machine).

Message: No valid host was found. There are not enough hosts available.

Running SELECT * FROM pci_devices; on the nova database I get the
following

As you can see it shows 7 are available.

Expected Results:

Another VM created with 1 more GPU used from the system.
