  • Workaround for NFS direct IO with GDS. The issue is that a bad interaction with the NVidia GDS base 0.7.1 when the process is killed with the IOs return with ERESTARTSYS, causing an unreleased mutex in the Nvidia propritary driver that causes invocations of other users such as nvidia-smi to get stuck.

3.3
