Summary

  • establish the final cuinterpose source layout and build targets, with thin inert skeletons in the final filenames
  • build and package a valid no-op libcuinterposer.so and static no-op cuinterposer-coordinator
  • add the nvidia.com/cuda-interposer: enabled SnapshotJob opt-in; no agent-image field is added to the API
  • centralize capture shaping in api/podcontract: one emptyDir and one init container using the Helm-configured agent image
  • copy both libcuinterposer.so and cuda-checkpoint from that image, mount them only on checkpoint targets, set LD_PRELOAD, and wrap the target with the injected cuda-checkpoint --launch-job
  • record enablement on the generated PodSnapshot
  • restore the same executable bundle path through the fixed ns-bind-mount helper, without a restore init container
  • remove the obsolete placeholder image target

This is layer 1 of stack #156. It intentionally provides final packaging and file seams without CUDA interception or coordinator protocol behavior.

Validation

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional CUDA interposer support for snapshot capture and restore.
    • Enabled opt-in configuration through pod annotations, with automatic library injection, preload setup, and checkpoint launch wrapping.
    • Added interposer mounting during restore with cleanup and error handling.
    • Added configurable agent image handling across Helm deployments and snapshot jobs.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation for conflicting volumes, mounts, containers, and environment settings.
    • Improved restore metadata propagation for interposer-enabled workloads.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for enablement, validation, capture shaping, mounting, and restore behavior.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds CUDA interposer artifacts to the agent image, shapes opted-in source pods, propagates interposer state through snapshots, and mounts the interposer during restore.

Changes

CUDA interposer delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Interposer image build
agent/Dockerfile, agent/cmd/cuinterpose/*
The agent image builds the interposer library and coordinator, then includes both in the restore bundle.
CUDA interposer contract
api/podcontract/*, api/go.mod
The contract validates opt-in annotations and configures volumes, an installer init container, read-only mounts, LD_PRELOAD, and checkpoint launch wrapping.
Source job integration
charts/snapshot/..., operator/...
The configured agent image reaches source-job construction. Opted-in targets receive interposer shaping, and PodSnapshots preserve the enabled annotation.
Restore pod integration
agent/internal/controller/..., agent/internal/executor/..., agent/internal/nsmount/..., agent/cmd/ns-bind-mount/main.c
Restore metadata carries the interposer flag. Restore mounts the interposer in the bundle namespace and removes it during cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 454ae

The PR changes opted-in workload startup and restore behavior, but current contract mismatches can prevent capture or restoration, selected workloads may fail to start, and cleanup failures can leave partial restore state. These correctness, runtime, deployment, and rollback risks make the PR unsafe to merge without fixes or explicit acceptance.

Pull request overview

This PR adds agent-side hooks to prepare/restore CUDA VMM interposer state around the native CUDA checkpoint/restore flow, using a coordinator binary (/usr/local/bin/snapshot-cuda-vmm) and socket-based detection under /snapshot-control.

Changes:

  • Extend checkpoint inspection state to record whether CUDA VMM interposition is active (CUDAVMMInterpose) and use it to conditionally run VMM checkpoint preparation.
  • Split CUDA restore vs. unlock, then optionally run VMM interposer restore when cuda-vmm.state exists in the checkpoint artifact.
  • Add CUDA VMM interpose detection/prepare/restore implementation plus unit tests.

agent/internal/cuda/vmm_interpose.go:123

  • RestoreVMM currently calls vmmArgs("restore", ..., "", ...), which results in passing --proc-root with an empty value. If the coordinator expects a real proc root (or validates the flag), restore will fail even when VMM state is present. Consider passing /proc for in-namespace restore (or omitting the flag entirely when not needed).

Use the required CUDA VMM artifact contract.

Lines 20-22 use cuinterposer-coordinator, cuinterposer-, and cuinterposer.state. The required contract uses /usr/local/bin/snapshot-cuda-vmm, cuda-vmm-<nspid>.sock, and cuda-vmm.state.

This makes DetectVMMInterpose skip live VMM shims. It also prevents HasVMMState from restoring VMM state. PrepareVMM and RestoreVMM execute the wrong binary.

Proposed fix
-	vmmCoordinator   = "/usr/local/bin/cuinterposer-coordinator"
-	vmmSocketPrefix  = "cuinterposer-"
-	vmmStateFileName = "cuinterposer.state"
+	vmmCoordinator   = "/usr/local/bin/snapshot-cuda-vmm"
+	vmmSocketPrefix  = "cuda-vmm-"
+	vmmStateFileName = "cuda-vmm.state"

Restore VMM state before unlocking the process tree.

cuda.RestoreAndUnlockProcessTree restores each PID and then unlocks each PID before returning. executeRestore calls cuda.HasVMMState and cuda.RestoreVMM only afterward. If either operation fails, the error path returns after CUDA unlock. The registered cleanup only closes files and removes CRIU resources; it does not terminate the restored workload.

Split the restore and unlock operations, and unlock only after cuda.RestoreVMM succeeds.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the required CUDA VMM interface.

These constants probe cuinterposer-* sockets, persist cuinterposer.state, and execute cuinterposer-coordinator. The required interface uses cuda-vmm-<nspid>.sock, cuda-vmm.state, and /usr/local/bin/snapshot-cuda-vmm. Valid CUDA VMM workloads will skip preparation, and valid CUDA VMM artifacts will not restore state.

Replace these identifiers and update the command arguments for the snapshot-cuda-vmm contract. Update the related tests to assert that contract.

Validate the CUDA interposer shape before adopting an existing Job.

buildSourceJobWithAgentImage now creates desired with the interposer init container, volume, mount, and target LD_PRELOAD. However, sourceJobHasExpectedIdentity only checks owner labels and target-container presence at Lines [133-147]. On the adoption path, an existing unshaped Job can be accepted, so the opted-in source workload runs without the requested interposer. Compare the interposer-specific pod shape or reject the adoption, and add a regression test for an unshaped existing Job.

Reject CUDA targets without /bin/sh, or provide an injected launcher. ShapeCUDAInterposerCapture accepts any target with a non-empty container.Command, then EnsureCUDACheckpointLaunchJob invokes /bin/sh -c before the original command. The injected volume contains only cuda-checkpoint and libcuinterposer.so, so a target image without /bin/sh cannot start.

Superseded by #212 (packaging), #213 (delivery: podcontract, operator, chart), and #214 (agent orchestration). The placeholder image stage is left untouched in the new stack, per the thread on the Dockerfile; its removal stays with the separate static-tar effort. The re-cut stack (#212#220) supersedes this PR. Its body is quoted verbatim in the replacement's Origin section, and each review thread here has a row in the replacement's "Review threads carried" table with what was done about it.

cuinterpose is the CUDA interposer that lets Snapshot checkpoint and restore
CUDA memory shared between processes (tensor-parallel workers, NCCL,
FlashInfer, PyTorch symmetric memory) and CUDA multicast objects. This is
the first of nine changes and carries the build and packaging only, so that
each later change is one component: delivery through podcontract, the
operator, and the chart; the agent's orchestration; then the shim and the
coordinator, one layer at a time.

The Dockerfile's cuda-helper-builder stage installs CUDA 13.1 headers and
GoogleTest and runs `make all test` for agent/cmd/cuinterpose; the image
ships libcuinterpose.so and the static cuinterpose-coordinator and bundles
both under /snapshot-binaries/snapshot-cuda for the restore-time mount. The
Makefile is written once: every C file is part of the shim except
coordinator.c; tests are found by name (<name>_unit_test.cc links the
shim's CUDA-free objects, <name>_preload_test.cc runs a sanitized shim over
a fake driver, coordinator_test.cc drives a sanitized coordinator); the
shim exports only cu*, cuda*, and dlsym, links with -z defs, and is held to
the glibc 2.34 baseline. protocol.h (control messages, records, phases, the
ticket layout) and util.c (bounded socket I/O with descriptor passing) are
final here.

The shim and the coordinator are placeholders that build, package, and do
nothing: the shim exports its build info, the coordinator prints that it
carries no coordinator and exits 1. Loading the placeholder into a process
is harmless, and nothing invokes the coordinator until the orchestration
change.

Compared with the earlier scaffold (#110): everything is named cuinterpose,
the Dockerfile copies the shim sources as a directory with a .dockerignore
for build/, the tests run in the image build, and the placeholder image
stage is left untouched.

A Pod opts into the CUDA interposer with the annotation
nvidia.com/cuinterpose: enabled. api/podcontract then builds on the CUDA
tools delivery: every target container gets the snapshot-cuda volume,
mount, and cuda-checkpoint --launch-job wrapper whatever its GPU count,
because the shim's checkpoint path needs the CUDA job file, plus the shim
first in LD_PRELOAD. VerifyCuinterposeCapture checks an existing Pod spec
against the same contract. Whether a Pod runs the shim is independent of
whether it is wrapped: multi-GPU Pods are wrapped without the annotation,
and an annotated single-GPU Pod is wrapped because of it.

The operator applies the shape to SnapshotJob source Jobs after the
launch-job rule, refuses to adopt an annotated Job that lacks the shim, and
records the annotation on the generated PodSnapshot. With the placeholder
shim from the packaging change, an annotated Pod starts, loads an inert
library, and checkpoints natively; the agent starts acting on the
annotation in the next change.

Compared with #110: image handling (validation, pull policy, pull secrets,
seccomp profile, comparison on the fields the contract sets) lives in the
tools delivery; the shaping is covered by table-driven tests, including the
failure branches that must leave the template untouched.

…t and restore

The checkpoint manifest gains cuinterpose.requested (the source Pod's
opt-in) and cuinterpose.prepared (the coordinator's prepare completed and
wrote cuinterpose.state, which drives the coordinator on restore; a
prepared checkpoint without its state file is refused). The shim's mount
is not the shim's concern: it travels with the CUDA tools delivery
(cudaTools.delivered) whether or not the Pod opted in.

Detection is fail-closed: a Pod that requested the shim must show a control
socket for every CUDA process and a Pod that did not must show none;
anything else fails the checkpoint with the processes named. Only sockets
count; procfs environ is not evidence. Stale shim sockets are removed
before CRIU recreates the processes, the coordinator binary is opened
before the mount namespace changes, its progress lines are logged as
structured fields, and prepare and restore get their own timing phases.

The Go constants are pinned to protocol.h by a test and the coordinator's
argument contract is covered against a fake binary. Until the shim opens
control sockets (the lifecycle change), an annotated Pod with CUDA
processes is refused at checkpoint by the fail-closed rule.

Compared with #110 and #155: restore is driven by the manifest rather than
by the presence of a state file, so a lost state file is an error instead
of a silent native restore; detection is a truth table instead of "sockets
present".

cuinterpose is the CUDA interposer that lets Snapshot checkpoint and restore
CUDA memory shared between processes (tensor-parallel workers, NCCL,
FlashInfer, PyTorch symmetric memory) and CUDA multicast objects. This is
the first of eleven changes and carries only the shared build, packaging,
and protocol contract. Later changes deliver and preload the shim, connect
the agent, implement forwarding and coordination, track CUDA state, isolate
allocation-content storage, add unicast and multicast lifecycle behavior,
and exercise the result on real GPUs.

The Dockerfile's cuda-helper-builder stage installs CUDA 13.1 headers and
GoogleTest and runs `make all test` for agent/cmd/cuinterpose; the image
ships libcuinterpose.so and the static cuinterpose-coordinator and bundles
both under /snapshot-binaries/snapshot-cuda for the restore-time mount. The
Makefile is written once: every C file is part of the shim except
coordinator.c; tests are found by name; the shim exports only cu*, cuda*,
and dlsym, links with -z defs, and is held to the glibc 2.34 baseline.
protocol.h defines the fixed control messages, records, phases, identities,
and generic allocation save/load operations. The socket helpers provide
bounded I/O with descriptor passing and close descriptors on every malformed
message path.

The shim and coordinator are placeholders at this layer: the shim exports
its build information, while the coordinator reports that no implementation
is present. Loading the placeholder is harmless, and nothing invokes the
coordinator until the agent orchestration change.

Compared with the earlier scaffold (#110), everything is named cuinterpose,
the Dockerfile copies the source directory with build output ignored, the
tests run during the image build, and the placeholder image stage remains
untouched.

first in LD_PRELOAD. VerifyCuinterposeCapture checks an existing Pod spec
against the same contract. Whether a Pod runs the shim is independent of
whether it is wrapped: multi-GPU Pods are wrapped without the annotation,
and an annotated single-GPU Pod is wrapped because of it.

The operator applies the shape to SnapshotJob source Jobs after the
launch-job rule, refuses to adopt an annotated Job that lacks the shim, and
records the annotation on the generated PodSnapshot. With the placeholder
shim from the packaging change, an annotated Pod starts, loads an inert
library, and checkpoints natively; the agent starts acting on the
annotation in the next change.

Compared with #110: image handling (validation, pull policy, pull secrets,
seccomp profile, comparison on the fields the contract sets) lives in the
tools delivery; the shaping is covered by table-driven tests, including the
failure branches that must leave the template untouched.

…t and restore

The checkpoint manifest gains cuinterpose.requested (the source Pod's
opt-in) and cuinterpose.prepared (the coordinator's prepare completed and
wrote cuinterpose.state, which drives the coordinator on restore; a
prepared checkpoint without its state file is refused). The shim's mount
is not the shim's concern: it travels with the CUDA tools delivery
(cudaTools.delivered) whether or not the Pod opted in.

Detection is fail-closed: a Pod that requested the shim must show a control
socket for every CUDA process and a Pod that did not must show none;
anything else fails the checkpoint with the processes named. Only sockets
count; procfs environ is not evidence. Stale shim sockets are removed
before CRIU recreates the processes, the coordinator binary is opened
before the mount namespace changes, its progress lines are logged as
structured fields, and prepare and restore get their own timing phases.

The Go constants are pinned to protocol.h by a test and the coordinator's
argument contract is covered against a fake binary. Until the shim opens
control sockets (the lifecycle change), an annotated Pod with CUDA
processes is refused at checkpoint by the fail-closed rule.

Compared with #110 and #155: restore is driven by the manifest rather than
by the presence of a state file, so a lost state file is an error instead
of a silent native restore; detection is a truth table instead of "sockets
present".

cuinterpose is the CUDA interposer that lets Snapshot checkpoint and restore
CUDA memory shared between processes (tensor-parallel workers, NCCL,
FlashInfer, PyTorch symmetric memory) and CUDA multicast objects. This is
the first of eleven changes and carries only the shared build, packaging,
and protocol contract. Later changes deliver and preload the shim, connect
the agent, implement forwarding and coordination, track CUDA state, isolate
allocation-content storage, add unicast and multicast lifecycle behavior,
and exercise the result on real GPUs.

The Dockerfile's cuda-helper-builder stage installs CUDA 13.1 headers and
GoogleTest and runs `make all test` for agent/cmd/cuinterpose; the image
ships libcuinterpose.so and the static cuinterpose-coordinator and bundles
both under /snapshot-binaries/snapshot-cuda for the restore-time mount. The
Makefile is written once: every C file is part of the shim except
coordinator.c; tests are found by name; the shim exports only cu*, cuda*,
and dlsym, links with -z defs, and is held to the glibc 2.34 baseline.
protocol.h defines the fixed control messages, records, phases, identities,
and generic allocation save/load operations. The socket helpers provide
bounded I/O with descriptor passing and close descriptors on every malformed
message path.

The shim and coordinator are placeholders at this layer: the shim exports
its build information, while the coordinator reports that no implementation
is present. Loading the placeholder is harmless, and nothing invokes the
coordinator until the agent orchestration change.

Compared with the earlier scaffold (#110), everything is named cuinterpose,
the Dockerfile copies the source directory with build output ignored, the
tests run during the image build, and the placeholder image stage remains
untouched.
