SIGSEGV crash when initializing OpenVINO GPU execution provider on Intel Arc A380 (DG2) Linux

[DealsBeam]

Describe the issue

Any attempt to create an ONNX InferenceSession with device_type=GPU causes a SIGSEGV crash on Intel Arc A380 (DG2/Alchemist) on Linux. CPU inference works fine. The crash occurs inside the bundled OpenVINO 2025.4.1 GPU plugin.

GPU: Intel Arc A380 (ASRock Low Profile, PCIe x1)
Driver: intel-compute-runtime 26.22.38646.4
System OpenVINO: 2026.1.0 (detects GPU correctly via Core().available_devices)
onnxruntime-openvino: 1.24.1 (bundled OpenVINO 2025.4.1)
User is in render and video groups.

System OpenVINO correctly lists ['CPU', 'GPU'] via Core().available_devices, confirming drivers and permissions are not the issue. The crash is specific to the bundled libopenvino_intel_gpu_plugin.so inside onnxruntime-openvino.

To reproduce

import onnxruntime as ort
import json

so = ort.SessionOptions()
so.graph_optimization_level = ort.GraphOptimizationLevel.ORT_DISABLE_ALL

options = {'device_type': 'GPU'}
sess = ort.InferenceSession(
'any_model.onnx',
sess_options=so,
providers=['OpenVINOExecutionProvider'],
provider_options=[options])

Process terminates with SIGSEGV before reaching next line

Urgency

GPU inference is completely unusable on Intel Arc A380 on Linux. Falls back to CPU at ~1.5 FPS, making real-time inference applications non-functional on this hardware.
