Describe the bug

I am sorry for finding suggestions of new feature in the bug section.

I would like to use GPU Direct RDMA on my GeForce GPU (using a Mellanox ConnectX network card for cross-node communication). While GPU Direct P2P and GPU Direct RDMA should be identical in principle, the current driver only supports GPU Direct P2P and not GPU Direct RDMA. Therefore, I have the following questions and would appreciate your advice:

1. Compared to GPU Direct P2P, does the GSP firmware impose additional restrictions on GPU Direct RDMA? If not, then the restrictions are only at the software driver level, correct?

2. Regarding enabling GPU Direct RDMA with this driver, do you have any general suggestions or can you provide an estimate of the implementation difficulty?

Thank you very much for any advice and hint!
