Description

The docker run command line for Linux in https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/docker_ci/blob/master/docs/accelerators.md>, docker run -it --device /dev/dri --group-add=$(stat -c \"%g\" /dev/dri/render* ) $IMAGE ./samples/cpp/samples_bin/hello_query_device, leads to docker: invalid reference format error.

The reason being stat -c \"%g\" /dev/dri/render* prints more than 1 line of output and the second line of IDs is interpreted as a docker image name.

I suggest the following modification for --group-add to generalize the command line for such cases:

--group-add=$(for g in $(stat -c "%g" /dev/dri/render* | sort -u); do echo $g; done).

Research direction

Open docs/accelerators.md and inspect the Linux docker run command for systems with multiple GPUs. Update the --group-add expression so multiple render-device group IDs are handled without producing an invalid Docker image reference, then verify the documented command's shell and Docker syntax.
