Description

GLM-5.3-Flash MTP can index a separate draft KV cache with the target manager's slot IDs. The managers allocate slots independently, so concurrent prefill and decode can trigger an index out of bounds CUDA error.

Use the draft manager's slot tables for draft forwards, refresh a persistent buffer before CUDA graph replay, and restore the target binding afterward. Failed preparation restores metadata swaps, and oversized rows raise an error instead of truncating valid slot IDs.

Test Coverage

CPU and CUDA regressions cover draft-slot selection, failure recovery, buffer reuse, width checks, and target restoration across graph replay. Existing CI directory entries include these tests.

pytest tests/unittest/_torch/attention tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic -m cpu_only
pytest tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/glm_kpool

Scoped pre-commit and focused CPU/CUDA component checks pass. The component runs used the changed Python modules overlaid on NVIDIA's 1.4.0rc1.dev202610140007 runtime. Full-checkout and DSA compatibility checks could not run against that wheel because it lacks newer APIs. A matching full build, full-model validation, and upstream CI remain pending; CI requires maintainer approval.

The added host-to-device table copy has not been benchmarked. Full-model output parity and draft acceptance rates have not been compared.

@yuxianq, would you mind taking a look? This fixes the draft-cache slot tables in the GLM k-pool path you reviewed. If someone else owns this now, happy to redirect.

Walkthrough

Draft replay uses separate GLM draft slot-table buffers when a GLM draft cache manager is available. Attention metadata delegates preparation and restoration to Mamba metadata. If preparation fails, draft replay restores swapped metadata and invalidates FlashMLA metadata.

Draft-replay metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Switch GLM draft slot tables
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/sparse/glm_kpool/metadata.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/trtllm.py
GLM metadata keeps separate draft buffers, refreshes them outside graph capture, and switches the active slot-table binding. Attention metadata delegates preparation and restoration to Mamba metadata.
Restore state after replay preparation failures
tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/interface.py
Draft replay preparation restores swapped metadata and invalidates FlashMLA metadata when preparation fails. The preparation and restoration functions now have type annotations.
Test GLM draft slot-table handling
tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/glm_kpool/test_glm_kpool.py, tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/glm_kpool/test_glm_kpool_cuda.py
CPU and CUDA tests cover slot-table lookup, staging, binding, restoration, buffer reuse, graph capture, replay, and failure cases.
Test replay metadata cleanup
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_draft_replay_metadata.py
CPU-only tests cover metadata restoration after preparation failures and after a successful retry.

@tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/sparse/glm_kpool/metadata.py:
- Around line 120-121: In the method that assigns self.glm_block_tables, fetch
and stage the draft pages with get_batch_slot_tables before rebinding the
attribute to draft tables, so a fetch failure leaves the target binding intact.
Keep the target binding in saved_state and ensure it can still be restored if a
later copy fails.
- Around line 125-127: Add a GPU-gated test for the sparse GLM k-pool draft path
that captures a draft forward, changes the draft request’s slot IDs, and runs
pre-replay preparation. Verify replay keeps the captured draft buffer address
and that the buffer contains the refreshed table for the new request.
- Around line 135-136: Update the draft slot-table handling around staging[row]
so rows from the draft manager are never silently truncated: ensure the
persistent buffer supports the manager’s maximum width before capture, or reject
oversized rows before copying. Add a case where a draft row exceeds the target
table width and verify it is handled without dropping slot IDs.

Tagsfeatures:speculative-decoding (50%); features:cuda-graphs (35%); features:paged-kv (15%)
PR effort6 points — Review requires tracing manager swaps, persistent buffer identity, asynchronous table refresh and restoration across eager execution and CUDA graph replay. The patch is focused, but replay ordering and unchecked table-width assumptions raise effort beyond a localized fix.
ImportanceImportant — Sensitive cache correctness: draft slot indices now come from the active manager, while separate persistent buffers preserve target/draft addresses during CUDA graph capture. Incorrect selection or restoration can address the wrong cache slots.

Thanks for tracking this down @bvolpato! I opened #20742 with an alternative, cleaner fix. GLM-5.3-Flash's MTP layers match the target layers, so that PR keeps them in the target KV cache, as attention DP already does. With one set of slot IDs, there's nothing to swap. Accuracy and serving perf are unchanged locally.

Could you try it on the setup where you hit the out-of-bounds error? Let's keep this PR open until #20742 merges.
