From d6d0f71509d3094de557db87f6595c42ec7b8bbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bong-water-water-bong Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 12:39:17 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hrx: the absent bias/residual slots of mul_mat_id_postops bind a read-only value (engine #533 verify) The fused postops export declares its bias and residual bindings with read access whether or not the kernel uses them, and the kernel only loads them when has_bias / has_residual is set. For an absent slot the dispatcher bound the command's own output transient, which the command-program verifier rejects: VERIFY-ERROR: command 2 kind=Kernel bindings=10 deps=1 binding bias value=5 origin=Transient access=Read range=[0, 16384) reads transient value 5 before write Bind a value the programme already reads instead - the weight - for those placeholder slots. The kernel never loads it (has_bias / has_residual guard the read), so nothing changes numerically. before: [KNOWN-FAIL #533] common_mul_mat_id_postops_dispatch VERIFY-ERROR: command 2 ... binding bias value=5 ... reads transient value 5 before write after: [PASS] common_mul_mat_id_postops_dispatch (tag retired in tests/hrx-backend-test.cpp) Model check (Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B Q4_K_M, the postops+next_rmsnorm user): the family enabled vs GGML_HRX_DISABLE_DISPATCH=common.mul_mat_id_postops.f32_f32_wmma gives identical greedy text and identical per-token top-5 logprobs on three prompts (128/126/29 tokens, max |dlogprob| = 0), and an identical second pass on the same server (cold vs warm). 90 W cap, PCM pad (23 Oct).

For a one-token graph the programme has two dispatches, so clearing dropped the first (the projections / gate producer) even though its nodes stay in covered_nodes - the fused kernel then reads raw_gate from a command that is emitted later, and the command-program verifier rejects the plan: VERIFY-ERROR: command 6 kind=Kernel bindings=5 deps=1 binding raw_gate value=33 origin=Transient access=Read range=[0, 24576) reads transient value 33 before write by command 7 Replace only the dispatch the fused kernel supersedes (back()) instead of clearing the list, so the producer stays ahead of its consumer in the programme.

Two changes, both about the same failure mode: a fused programme that takes over a node while a reader of that node's output stays outside it. - **Matcher guard** (`dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp`): before the selected-snapshot programme upgrades its last dispatch to the fused kernel, every consumer of the snapshot value and of the cache must be covered by the programme (`consumers_covered_by`). If one is not, the fusion is refused and the unfused programme is used. A reader scheduled before the fused kernel that writes the value is exactly what the command-program verifier rejects with "reads transient value N before write". - **Test assertion** (`hrx-backend-test.cpp`): `run_gdn_selected_rms_q8_dispatch_checks` forbade *any* `ggml_copy_f32` in the plan. The snapshot copy is a legitimate part of the fused programme, so the case now requires that the copy precedes the fused kernel and feeds one of its bindings, and still forbids the fallback kernels (`ggml_get_rows_f32`, `ggml_rmsnorm_gate_f32_q8_1_x4`). **Measured, and it does not close the issue.** With #133 + this, at `2ab3114966`-era hrx-system `82804197bc`, host planner, `GGML_HRX=ON`: ``` host: 66 case(s) — 59 passed, 1 failed, 6 known-fail, 0 unexpected-pass [FAIL] gdn_selected_rms_q8_dispatch hrx-backend-test.cpp:10255: command_program_verifies(commands) VERIFY-ERROR: command 4 kind=Kernel bindings=2 deps=1 binding source value=10 origin=Transient access=Read range=[0, 3145728) reads transient value 10 before write ``` So `gdn_selected_rms_q8_dispatch` still fails, on the snapshot copy: value 10 has no producer before command 4 even with the guard in place, which means the copy's consumer node is already inside the programme's covered set while its dispatch is not in the list — the same shape as the bug #133 fixed for the first dispatch, one level down. The next step is to make the covered/dropped pair impossible rather than to detect it: when the fused kernel replaces a dispatch, the nodes that dispatch covered must be dropped from `covered_nodes` too, and the verifier's "reads before write" is what will confirm it. `#533` therefore needs one more change beyond #133 and this PR; the `#533` marker stays on the row, and the two sibling cases (`qwen_attention_postprocess_dispatch`, `qwen_routed_gate_up_dispatch`) are untouched here. Host and device run details are in the PR comments; nothing about this is claimed beyond what the verifier output shows. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --- .../llm/dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp | 28 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/hrx-backend-test.cpp | 18 ++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch_registration/llm/dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp b/ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch_registration/llm/dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp index 531d8622df97..055a261fbb24 100644 --- a/ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch_registration/llm/dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp +++ b/ggml/src/ggml-hrx/dispatch_registration/llm/dispatch-gated-delta-net.cpp @@ -1036,6 +1036,26 @@ static bool match_gated_delta_net_rmsnorm_q8(const DispatchMatchContext & contex return true; } +// engine #533: a value may only be taken over by a fused kernel when nothing outside the fused programme +// reads it.
