    No, just dangling documentation on the ROCm/HIP etc repos/sites, and the knowledge that all device DMA used to only support PCIe-a-like within the drivers/firmware, but as per that whitepaper above mentions a lot of effort was put into infinity fabric of CDNA2 so it would be very strange to use it for p2p. That the driver memory topology only recently enabled p2pDMA from what I have been following. This of course would require firmware (if not already there) and userspace to handle such a situation. Hence why I was asking for clearer source on MI250x specifically, and if it was recent.

    Even if people refer to AMDGPU driver as AMD made, it is not AMD but guys from open source, this: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCK-Kernel-Driver which also leads to this: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMDgpu_(Linux_kernel_module)#:~:text=Community%5Bedit%5D,libdrm%2C%20Xorg%2C%20Wayland#:~:text=Community%5Bedit%5D,libdrm%2C%20Xorg%2C%20Wayland). If i got that right. AMDGPU PRO driver is what is installed on Windows a proprietary driver which it seems is built upon AMDGPU open source but this one is signed by AMD... Witch got me thinking as AMD refusing to bring Radeon Software Center to Linux, seems like best thin for open source is to community and companies like Canonical, Rad Hat etc start builtin hardware for open software... a perfect mix of things?

    Plus, if we're going to talk about stuff developers are sick of, how about releasing packages that are broken? https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCK-Kernel-Driver/pull/117 Kind of pointless to put up a release package if it's going to be obviously broken to this extent. In the end getting this to work still involved manually going in and patching things, both with the driver and then with the runtime libraries for tensorflow, making it not much better than dealing with NVIDIA. Even worse since this at least would've been caught in automated testing.
