Segfault in 1x1 conv2d backward pass when both Pytorch and sigpy are installed (cudnn version mismatch)

[nishi951]

Describe the bug
Segfault in backward pass when running on GPU with Pytorch and torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic is True

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the environment below with conda env create -f environment.yaml
2. Activate it with conda activate sigseg
3. Run the script below with python segfault.py

environment.yaml:

name: sigseg
channels:
  - frankong
  - nvidia
  - pytorch
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - cupy=12.1
  - cudnn
  - cutensor
  - nccl
  - numpy=1.22
  - python=3.10
  - pytorch=2.1
  - pytorch-cuda=12.1
  - PyWavelets
  - scipy
  - torchvision
  - torchaudio
  - tqdm
  - pyyaml
  - pip
  - pip:
     - sigpy==0.1.25

segfault.py

import sigpy as sp
#from cupy import cudnn
import torch
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True
import torch.nn.functional as F

net_input = torch.randn(1, 10, 220, 220, dtype=torch.float32).to('cuda:0')
weight = torch.randn(10, 10, 1, 1).requires_grad_(True).to('cuda:0')
net_output = F.conv2d(net_input, weight, padding='same')
z = net_output
loss = torch.sum(torch.abs(z))
loss.backward() # Segfault occurs here

Expected behavior
I expect the code to finish without segfaulting.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Ubuntu 22.04
• NVIDIA RTX 3090, CUDA 12.1

Additional context

1. Problem only occurs when doing the backward pass on a 1x1 conv2d. (e.g. 3x3 conv2d is fine)
2. Problem is GPU only.
3. Problem disappears when torch is imported BEFORE sigpy (probably related to sigpy/config.py)

• I think the problem is related to cuDNN version mismatch between torch and sigpy.
• I was actually able to resolve the problem by installing a Pytorch-compatible cudnn directly from apt and NOT installing cudnn via conda, but this took some digging.
• Can try to write a pull request to modify config.py to warn people more specifically about the cudnn version e.g. by using cudnn.getVersion and torch.backends.cudnn.version().
