Public bug reported: GDS enables a direct data path for direct memory access (DMA) transfers between GPU memory and storage, which avoids a bounce buffer through the CPU. This direct path increases system bandwidth and decreases the latency and utilization load on the CPU.
This functionality has been enabled in all previous kernel versions and needs to be in this kernel so there is no loss of functionality for users. ** Affects: linux-nvidia (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-nvidia in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2059814 Title: Enable GDS in the 6.8 based linux-nvidia kernel Status in linux-nvidia package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: GDS enables a direct data path for direct memory access (DMA) transfers between GPU memory and storage, which avoids a bounce buffer through the CPU.
