WalkthroughThis pull request adds a public API for staging KV-cache blocks between cache managers. It derives layout identities and names, allocates staging slots, and tracks read and write leases. Manager lifecycle hooks notify the lender about cache changes. The request and scheduler track externally served prefixes, and fresh-page fills use ordered CUDA stream synchronization.

Resume right now is a single scalar. Currently we have a scalar py_served_prefix_end. Looking ahead to sparse retention, how would we represent different retained/resident positions per group while preserving a common execution position? May you share your thoughts on supporting this?
Regarding HiSparse, live sparse residency is not included right now. Does this MR cover only lending / transport contracts. Same goes to device-side sparse map and replacement policy. May you share your thoughts on this?
Regarding the lending mechanism, I think making a generic Lender the base with StagingLender as one implementation is more demonstrative. I think a location descriptor (tier, address, format) in place of staging_addresses / region_index will be more descriptive. We should also make "one lender per manager" relaxable. On a higher level direction, do you intend to have a staging-lender for each manager? Draft cache goes under a separate manager. To my memory I recall a manager-level coordinator for cache transfer is the direction. May you share your thoughts on this?
Thank you for the pull request!
Hi @eopXD , thanks for the thoughtful questions!

Overall LGTM; no correctness blocker was found. Thanks for setting up the foundation!
The following are some minor and non-blocking notes:
- Exceptional cleanup: Stop new grants after unexpected bookkeeping failures. Add a regression test to verify that lease release cannot restart normal progress.
- Shutdown failure: Inject a copy-event synchronization failure with multiple leases and an open staging hold. Verify retained memory and safe repeated cleanup.
- Key generation and polling: Measure cost as prompt length and concurrent leases grow. Track optimization as a follow-up before serving activation.

Introduce a mechanism-independent lending API with stable regions, leases, resume bounds and content identities for transfer backends. Provide the staging implementation while keeping its integration obligations separate from public guarantees. Centralize V2 operations and runtime metadata in a checked lifecycle facade, reject configured lossy cold-page quantization before attachment, and add lending and integration regression coverage.

Thank you for the replies and updates. This PR defines the memory-access contract. They look good to me.
We already have a consensus towards a runtime-centric management with the view of multi-tier. The API here already points towards this direction, for follow-up we will have:
- active cross-instance write-through as a runtime capability
- the outer-cross-tier sharing module facing interface as an option of the backend contract

Description
Add a backend-neutral host-staging lending API for
KVCacheManagerV2. This separates KV ownership and safe reuse from transport: a holder obtains read/write leases, a transfer backend moves the bytes, and the executor queries readiness before resuming a fetched prefix.This PR introduces the API, staging implementation, and manager/scheduler integration hooks. It does not connect a production transfer backend or enable an end-to-end serving feature.
Main changes
attach_stagingand the lender, lease, staging-region, memory-hold, and readiness contracts throughtensorrt_llm._torch.pyexecutor.kv_cache.sharing; implementation modules remain private. There is no in-place lending API in this PR.py_served_prefix_end, so both connector and staging prefixes use the existing reservation/resumption path. Update draft/target scheduler reconciliation and keep the no-lender path covered.Supporting correctness changes
draft_prompt_lookaheadseparately fromreuse_match_backoff, and expose it through a read-only manager property. The lender needs the raw value to refuse read-ahead drafts even when a subclass disables reuse-match backoff; this is a safety check, not just a naming refactor.TRTLLM_KV_FRESH_PAGE_FILLpath, wait on manager-stream work before filling new pages, then synchronize the fill stream after all writes. This replaces device-wide synchronization only when that diagnostic is enabled; it is not a general serving-path race fix.tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_a10.yml. Set_sharing=Nonein the disaggregated-receive and Helix stand-in fixtures to preserve their no-lender behavior.Integration boundary and current limits
tensorrt_llm/attaches a staging lender yet. Backend assembly/transport integration and user-facing documentation are follow-up work; a concrete consumer PR/ticket has not yet been linked.
