fix(scheduler): allow multiple MIG instances on one GPU

[saiyam1814]

What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

A Dynamic MIG request for two instances on a node with one physical GPU was rejected before NVIDIA's MIG placement logic ran. The scheduler compared the logical request count with the physical GPU count and returned NodeInsufficientDevice.

This change lets Dynamic MIG requests reach the existing profile and placement checks. Non-MIG requests keep the physical-device-count check.

The tests cover two legal placements on one GPU, insufficient MIG placement capacity, and the non-MIG regression path.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #2403

Testing:

go test ./pkg/scheduler/... -short -race -count=1
make verify

RTX PRO 6000 before/after proof

Validated on August 19, 2026:

• 8 x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition
• driver 610.43.02
• Kubernetes v1.35.6
• one target physical GPU: GPU-30512c46-708b-f374-5698-ee24be6cd626

The same Pod requested:

nvidia.com/gpu: 2
nvidia.com/gpumem: 8000

Before the fix, using commit 634bf2b32e68, the Pod remained unbound and the scheduler emitted:

0/1 nodes are available: 1 NodeInsufficientDevice

No MIG instance was created.

With this PR, using image commit a1879dd, the same Pod became Ready and received two distinct 1g.24gb instances on the same parent GPU:

device 0: placement start=9 size=3, MIG-bee9dda1-d43e-5a20-8f78-49fde08dd64f
device 1: placement start=6 size=3, MIG-6c1bc072-8b8f-50c9-8f10-90c689a01339

vectorAdd passed independently with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 inside that container.

A second Pod requesting two devices also became Ready and occupied starts 3 and 0, filling all four legal 1g.24gb placements. A fifth request stayed Pending with CardInsufficientMemory. Deleting the first two-device Pod reclaimed both of its MIG UUIDs while the second Pod retained both UUIDs and passed CUDA again on both devices.

Final marker:

ALL_MULTI_MIG_HARDWARE_PROOFS_PASSED

The node was restored after the test: all eight GPUs are back in non-MIG mode, nvidia.com/gpu allocatable is 8, the NVIDIA device plugin is Ready, four Kubernetes model servers are Ready, and the accepted Docker model server is running on GPU 2. Five GPU workloads are active on five unique physical GPUs.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Fixed Dynamic MIG scheduling when one Pod requests multiple MIG instances from a single physical GPU.

AI assistance disclosure:

AI assistance was used while exploring the code path and drafting tests. I reviewed the implementation and ran all listed unit, repository, CI, and real-hardware checks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved scheduling for Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) requests, allowing multiple placements on a single physical GPU when capacity permits.
  • Preserved clear failure reporting when available MIG capacity is insufficient.
  • Maintained physical GPU count validation for standard, non-MIG GPU requests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now detects NVIDIA MIG requests and allows device-plugin fitting to evaluate multiple MIG placements on one physical GPU. Tests cover successful placement, insufficient MIG capacity, preserved failure reasons, and non-MIG physical device validation.

Changes

MIG fitting behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
MIG request detection and fitting guard pkg/scheduler/score.go	fitInDevices detects eligible MIG requests and skips the physical device-count rejection before invoking device-plugin fitting.
MIG allocation validation pkg/scheduler/mig_allocation_test.go	Tests verify request detection, multiple MIG placements on one GPU, insufficient placement handling, preserved failure reasons, and non-MIG device-count validation.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 73e4e

The scheduler change still uses an annotation key outside the required hami.io namespace, creating a bounded integration risk for annotation-based behavior. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit found two MIG slots bright,
On one GPU, they fit just right.
If slots run out, the reason stays,
While non-MIG counts keep their old ways.
Hop, scheduler—allocate with care!

Review update in d71ab71:

• placement assertions are now order-independent;
• isMIGRequest has direct coverage for non-NVIDIA requests, explicit HAMi-core mode, MIG with and without a Pod, and non-MIG device state;
• the established nvidia.com/vgpu-mode API remains unchanged for compatibility.

Focused tests and the full scheduler race suite pass, along with git diff --check and make verify. The earlier RTX before/after hardware proof remains valid because this follow-up changes tests only.
