What this does

MigInstanceManager (migmgr.go) makes raw NVML calls in several of its methods but never calls nvml.Init() itself. It only works today because nvmlBusyGPUs() (mig_startup.go) happens to leave NVML initialized at startup and never shuts it down an implicit, undocumented dependency on that leak.

This PR makes MigInstanceManager self-contained: each public entry point that touches NVML (ResetIdleGPUs, Release, EnsureAllocation, AdoptAllocation, ReconcileActiveAllocations) now brackets its own nvml.Init() / defer nvml.Shutdown(), matching the self-contained convention used everywhere else in this package (e.g. util.go).

NVML's Init/Shutdown pair is reference-counted per-process, so this is safe to call independently alongside other NVML users in the same process without tearing down a session another caller still needs.

Why

Found while reviewing the MIG refactor (#2378). Once the companion leak in mig_startup.go's gpuUUIDToIndex / nvmlBusyGPUs is fixed to properly call nvml.Shutdown(), MigInstanceManager would start failing with "NVML not initialized" since it never initializes NVML on its own. This PR removes that hidden coupling first.
Discussed in #2246.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes

  • Improved reliability of GPU partition (MIG) allocation and cleanup operations.
  • Improved handling of GPU resource adoption, release, reset, and recovery workflows.
  • Reconciliation now skips unnecessary processing when no active allocations are present.
  • Systems report GPU management initialization failures more clearly.
  • Improved resource management across service restarts and final shutdown.
  • GPU management sessions now remain available across service restarts and are released cleanly during final shutdown.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MIG mode now initializes NVML once during plugin construction. The manager remains available across gRPC server restarts. Context cancellation shuts down NVML during final plugin teardown.

Changes

MIG NVML lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
MIG manager NVML contract
pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/migmgr.go
MigInstanceManager exposes Init and Shutdown. MIG operations require prior initialization.
Plugin lifetime wiring
pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/server.go
MIG plugin construction initializes the manager and returns initialization errors. Context cancellation shuts down the manager.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a293c

The change makes MIG management own its NVML lifecycle, but a startup-failure path can still leave an initialized manager unreleased, potentially leaking NVML/process resources. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for that bounded cleanup risk.

Poem

A rabbit starts NVML with care,
One session stays through server repair.
When context ends, shutdown is clear.
MIG operations proceed while initialized here.

@AdityaShome The issue is valid, but initializing and shutting down NVML in every method adds unnecessary overhead and complicates concurrent/error handling. I’d recommend managing NVML once at the MigInstanceManager or process lifecycle level instead.

@FouoF agreed, per-method Init/Shutdown was wasteful on hot paths (5s reconciler, every Allocate/Release). Moved to a single Init/Shutdown owned by MigInstanceManager: Init() runs once at construction, Shutdown() runs once on plugin context cancellation (not Stop(), which only restarts the gRPC server).

@mesutoezdil confirmed neither helper calls nvml.Init() itself, so yes, NVML init was always required first. It's now explicit and centralized instead of implicit per-method.

Sorry for delay, also added a short doc comment on each affected method noting it requires NVML already initialized via Init, since that's no longer visible in the method body itself.
