runc
.Reduced the verbosity of logging for the NVIDIA Container Runtime.
Fixed a bug in argument parsing for logger creation.
Increase priority of the
ld.so.conf.d
config file injected into container. This ensures that injected libraries are preferred over libraries present in the container.Updated the default CDI spec permissions to 644. This fixes permission issues when using the
nvidia-ctk cdi transform
functions while specifying an output.Fixed the discovery of
libnvidia-ml.so.1
when a non-standard driver root is used. This enabled CDI spec generation when using the driver container on a host.Added support to recalculate minimum required CDI spec version on save. This ensures that version changes due to spec transforms are accounted for.
Moved the
nvidia-ctk hook
commands to a separatenvidia-cdi-hook
binary (the same subcommands are supported). This allows for cleaner mapping to non-OCI-compliant use cases of generated CDI specifications.
Switched to using
:
as list separator in thenvidia-ctk config --set
command. This fixes a bug when trying to set config options that are lists.

was not installed onto the host when installing the rest of the toolkit components.Updated the NVIDIA Container Toolkit config to use the installed
nvidia-ctk
path.Updated the installation of the experimental runtime to use
nvidia-container-runtime.experimental
as an executable name instead ofnvidia-container-runtime-experimental
. This aligns with the executables added for the mode-specific runtimes.Added the installation and configuration of mode-specific runtimes for
cdi
andlegacy
modes.Updated the CUDA base images to
12.1.0
.Added an
nvidia-container-runtime.modes.cdi.annotation-prefixes
config option that allows the CDI annotation prefixes that are read to be overridden. This setting is used to update thecontainerd
config to allow these annotations to be visible by the low-level runtime.Added tooling to create device nodes when generating CDI specification for management containers. This ensures that the CDI specification for management containers has access to the required control devices.
Added an
nvidia-container-runtime.runtimes
config option to set the low-level runtime for the NVIDIA Container Runtime. This can be used on Crio-based systems wherecrun
is the configured default low-level runtime.

NVIDIA Container Toolkit 1.11.0
This release of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit v1.11.0
is primarily targeted at adding support for injection of GPUDirect Storage and MOFED devices into containerized environments.
The following packages are included:
nvidia-container-toolkit 1.11.0
libnvidia-container-tools 1.11.0
libnvidia-container1 1.11.0
The following container-toolkit
containers are included:
nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0-centos7
nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0-ubi8
nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0-ubuntu18.04
nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0-ubuntu20.04
(also asnvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0
)
The following packages have also been updated to depend on nvidia-container-toolkit
of at least 1.11.0
:
nvidia-container-runtime 3.11.0
Note that this release does not include an update to nvidia-docker2
and is compatible with nvidia-docker2 2.11.0
.
Packaging Changes
An
nvidia-container-toolkit-base
package has been introduced that allows for the higher-level components to be installed in cases where the NVIDIA Container Runtime Hook, NVIDIA Container CLI, and NVIDIA Container Library are not required. This includes Tegra-based systems where the CSV mode of the NVIDIA Container Runtime is used.The package repository includes support for Fedora 35 packages.
The package repository includes support for RHEL 8.6. This redirects to the Centos 8 packages.
Mirrors for older distributions have been removed to limit the size of the package repository.
Fixes and Features
Fix bug in CSV mode where libraries listed as
sym
entries in mount specification are not added to the LDCache.Rename the
nvidia-container-toolkit
executable tonvidia-container-runtime-hook
to better indicate intent. A symlink namednvidia-container-toolkit
is created that points to thenvidia-container-runtime-hook
executable.Inject platform files into container on Tegra-based systems to allow for future support of these systems in the GPU Device Plugin.
Add
cdi
mode to NVIDIA Container RuntimeAdd discovery of GPUDirect Storage (
nvidia-fs*
) devices if theNVIDIA_GDS
environment variable of the container is set toenabled
Add discovery of MOFED Infiniband devices if the
NVIDIA_MOFED
environment variable of the container is set toenabled
Add

command to configure the Docker config file (e.g./etc/docker/daemon.json
) for use with the NVIDIA Container Runtime.

Known Issues
When upgrading from an earlier version of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit on RPM-based systems, a package manager such as
yum
may remove the installed/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime-hook
executable due to the post-uninstall hooks defined in the older package version. To avoid this problem either remove the older version of thenvidia-container-toolkit
before installingv1.11.0
or reinstall thev1.11.0
package if the/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime-hook
file is missing. For systems where thev1.11.0
version of the package has already been installed and left in an unusable state, runningyum reinstall -y nvidia-container-toolkit-1.11.0-1
should address this issue.The
container-toolkit:v1.11.0
images have been released with the following known HIGH Vulnerability CVEs. These are from the base images and are not in libraries used by the components included in the container image as part of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit:nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s/container-toolkit:v1.11.0-centos7

Known Issues
Dependency errors when installing older versions of nvidia-container-runtime
on Debian-based systems
With the release of the 1.6.0
and 3.6.0
versions of the nvidia-container-toolkit
and
nvidia-container-runtime
packages, respectively, some files were reorganized and the package
dependencies updated accordingly. (See case 10 in the Debian Package Transition documentation).
Due to these new constraints a package manager may not correctly resolve the required version of nvidia-container-toolkit
when
pinning to versions of the nvidia-container-runtime
prior to 3.6.0
.
This means that if a command such as:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-container-runtime=3.5.0-1
is used to install a specific version of the nvidia-container-runtime
package, this may fail with the following error message:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-container-runtime : Depends: nvidia-container-toolkit (>= 1.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: nvidia-container-toolkit (< 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
In order to address this, the versions of the nvidia-container-toolkit
package should be specified explicitly to be at most 1.5.1
sudo apt-get install \
nvidia-container-runtime=3.5.0-1 \
nvidia-container-toolkit=1.5.1-1
In general, it is suggested that all components of the NVIDIA container stack be pinned to their required versions.
For the nvidia-container-runtime
3.5.0
these are:
nvidia-container-toolkit 1.5.1
libnvidia-container-tools 1.5.1
libnvidia-container1 1.5.1
To pin all the package versions above, run:
sudo apt-get install \
nvidia-container-runtime=3.5.0-1 \
nvidia-container-toolkit=1.5.1-1 \
libnvidia-container-tools=1.5.1-1 \
libnvidia-container1==1.5.1-1
Toolkit Container 1.7.0
Known issues
The
container-toolkit:1.7.0-ubuntu18.04
image contains the CVE-2021-3711. This CVE affectslibssl1.1
andopenssl
included in the ubuntu-based CUDA11.4.1
base image. The components of the NVIDIA Container Toolkit included in the container do not uselibssl1.1
oropenssl
and as such this is considered low risk if the container is used as intended; that is to install and configure the NVIDIA Container Toolkit in the context of the NVIDIA GPU Operator.
