Solution to patch vGPU_Unlock into Nvidia Driver

_Kernel Support Update 2022-12-13:: Tested to work with 6.0.11 linux kernel, it may work with kernels since v5.19-rc4-38-g34a255e67615 and possibly with kernels older than v5.18-rc6-74-g8e432bb015b6, but not with versions in between these two, it would need another build conditional for 5.18! The update was also tested on 5.10 Kernel!

Usage

1. Pre-download original .run files:

   Name	Version	Links
   NVIDIA-GRID-Linux-KVM-525.60.12-525.60.13-527.41	Grid v15.0	Nvidia Download, Google Drive, GitHub

2. Setup Spoofing - edit patch.sh file and search

   if $DO_VGPU; then
       applypatch ${TARGET} vcfg-testing.patch
       vcfgclone ${TARGET}/vgpuConfig.xml 0x1E30 0x12BA 0x1E84 0x0000
   fi
   

   Change the ID's 0x1E30 0x12BA 0x1E84 0x0000 to a matching set here:
   0x1E30 0x12BA Quadro RTX 6000 to
   0x1E84 0x0000 RTX 2070 Super

   E.g. P40 to 1080Ti:
   0x1B38 0x11D9 Tesla P40 to
   0x1B06 0x120F 1080Ti
   The new vcfgclone line in this example:
   vcfgclone ${TARGET}/vgpuConfig.xml 0x1B38 0x11D9 0x1B06 0x120F

3. Run one of these commands:
   ./patch.sh general-merge creates a merge vgpu-kvm with consumer driver
   ./patch.sh vgpu-kvm just patch the vgpu-kvm driver (in case you use secondary gpu) #proxmox
   ./patch.sh grid-merge creates a merge vgpu-kvm with VGPU guest driver
   ./patch.sh grid
./patch.sh general
./patch.sh vcfg

Changelog

• added --docker-hack option to fix nvidia-docker-toolkit not being able to detect the correct libraries
• cudahost=1 nvidia module option of merged driver now works with all versions, enables also raytracing on host
• multiple fixes and tuning in the default profiles for rtx 2070+
• simplified patching focusing only on vgpu kvm blob, split the patch for merged driver extension
• supports setup of general-merge converting grid variant to general in case general run file is not available
• multiple versions in branches: 460.107, 470.141, 510.73, 510.85
• with 460.107 version ray tracing works on host with general-merge driver even with windows VMs

Other Options

--repack option that can be used to create unlocked/patched .run file (usually not necessary as you can simply start nvidia-installer from the directory). --docker-hack option to patch the driver version to make it compatible with the nvidia-docker-toolkit so vGPU functionality and Docker can be used simultaneously with a merged driver
