What is the current proccess to contribute to GDS?

Hello folks,

I’m a kernel developer and I have used GDS a lot.

Do you know why the contribution model of GDS is just a release bump? It is not a fully OSS model where people submit PRs, someone review and then there is a history change. It is also the opposite to what the file in the repository says.

Fortunately, the maintainers are keeping track of a changelog every release, but I want to understand the business reasons for that approach for this public driver.

Any plans to upstream this code as well to be closer to Linux Kernel upstream development too?

I would love to contribute if I have the chance to.

Hello j262123,

I would start through this page → GitHub - NVIDIA/gds-nvidia-fs: NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage Driver

Thank you and regards,
