I just wanted to post a discussion to say thank you very much for releasing the open source kernel driver.
I have a 3090 configured as a DirectPath I/O (PCIe passthrough) device to a Linux VM running on VMware ESXi 7.0U3c. The NVidia Linux driver worked using this configuration through driver version 470.82, however releases from 470.86 through the most current 515.43.04 beta fail completely and the card cannot be used on a Linux VM. (See this thread for an ongoing discussion about this issue)
However the card is completely functional again when using 515.43.04 with the OSS driver with NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1 My post in the above linked forum thread has the instructions for anyone experiencing the same issue.
My reports to both NVidia and VMware about the proprietary driver regression died in Tier-1 support non-responses, so I'm not going to fight that battle any more. Hooray for OSS; may this nonsense never happen again!
