Major Description
getReleasingGpus plays an important role in the calculation which happens when GpuAllocator assign GPUs to a container, see: GpuResourceAllocator#internalAssignGpus.
If multiple GPUs are assigned to the same container, getReleasingGpus will return an invalid number.
The iterator goes over on mappings of (GPU device, container ID) and it retrieves the container by its ID the number of times the container ID is mapped to any device.
Then for every container, the resource value for the GPU resource is added to a running sum.
Obviously, if a container is mapped to 2 or more devices, then the container's GPU resource counter is added to the running sum as many times as the number of GPU devices the container has.
Example:
Let's suppose usedDevices contains these mappings:
- (GPU1, container1)
- (GPU2, container1)
- (GPU3, container2)
GPU resource value is 2 for container1 and
GPU resource value is 1 for container2.
Then, if container1 is in a running state, getReleasingGpus will return 4 instead of 2.
