> This patch is to address issues when docker container is being used:
> 1. GPU driver and nvidia libraries: If GPU drivers and NV libraries are pre-packaged inside docker image, it could conflict to driver and nvidia-libraries installed on Host OS. An alternative solution is to detect Host OS's installed drivers and devices, mount it when launch docker container. Please refer to \[1\] for more details. 
> 2. Image detection: 
> From \[2\], the challenge is: 
> bq. Mounting user-level driver libraries and device files clobbers the environment of the container, it should be done only when the container is running a GPU application. The challenge here is to determine if a given image will be using the GPU or not. We should also prevent launching containers based on a Docker image that is incompatible with the host NVIDIA driver version, you can find more details on this wiki page.
> 3. GPU isolation.
> *Proposed solution*:
> a. Use nvidia-docker-plugin \[3\] to address issue #1, this is the same solution used by K8S \[4\]. issue #2 could be addressed in a separate JIRA.
> We won't ship nvidia-docker-plugin with out releases and we require cluster admin to preinstall nvidia-docker-plugin to use GPU+docker support on YARN. "nvidia-docker" is a wrapper of docker binary which can address #3 as well, however "nvidia-docker" doesn't provide same semantics of docker, and it needs to setup additional environments such as PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use it. To avoid introducing additional issues, we plan to use nvidia-docker-plugin + docker binary approach.
> b. To address GPU driver and nvidia libraries, we uses nvidia-docker-plugin \[3\] to create a volume which includes GPU-related libraries and mount it when docker container being launched. Changes include: 
> - Instead of using {{volume-driver}}, this patch added {{docker volume create}} command to c-e and NM Java side. The reason is {{volume-driver}} can only use single volume driver for each launched docker container.
> - Updated {{c-e}} and Java side, if a mounted volume is a named volume in docker, skip checking file existence. (Named-volume still need to be added to permitted list of container-executor.cfg).
> c. To address isolation issue:
> We found that, cgroup + docker doesn't work under newer docker version which uses {{runc}} as default runtime. Setting {{--cgroup-parent}} to a cgroup which include any {{devices.deny}} causes docker container cannot be launched.
> Instead this patch passes allowed GPU devices via {{--device}} to docker launch command.
