Description

When a call needs more than the current MNNVL all-reduce workspace, _get_or_scale_allreduce_mnnvl_workspace
(tensorrt_llm/_torch/distributed/ops.py) builds a new McastGPUBuffer and buffer_flags and replaces the
per-Mapping entry. Nothing else keeps the old workspace alive:

  • the tensors are non-owning views (at::for_blob, runtime/mcastGPUBuffer.h);
  • so ~McastDeviceMemory unmaps the buffers and frees the pointer tables (runtime/mcastDeviceMemory.cpp).

CUDA graphs captured before the growth keep the old pointers (thop/allreduceOp.cpp) and launch on freed memory.
Every MNNVL all-reduce of a Mapping shares the workspace, so one larger eager call after capture invalidates every
captured graph. A long prefill after the decode graphs are captured is one example, when warmup did not reach that
size.

  • Workspaces a capture used stay alive. get_or_scale_allreduce_mnnvl_workspace marks a workspace it hands out
    during CUDA-graph capture. When a growth replaces a marked workspace, it moves to
    MNNVLAllReduce.allreduce_mnnvl_retired_workspaces and stays alive with the process, so graphs captured on it keep
    valid buffers and flags. A workspace no capture used is released at the replacement, as before: every rank has
    synchronized its device in the protocol reset by then. The cost is the memory of the workspaces graphs were
    captured on.
  • No creation or growth under capture. Creating or growing a workspace during CUDA-graph capture now raises
    ("run each shape once outside capture first") before the collective allocation. Before, it entered the allocation
    and failed inside it, on every rank.

Repro before the fix (4 GB200 ranks, MNNVL): capture a one-token all-reduce, grow the workspace from 16 to 112 MiB per
buffer with an eager call, then replay. Every rank gets cudaErrorIllegalAddress. After the fix both replays match
eager bit for bit.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/_torch/multi_gpu/test_mnnvl_allreduce.py:

  • test_mnnvl_workspace_growth_keeps_captured_graphs (2 GB200 ranks with fabric MNNVL; added to
    l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml):

    • captures a one-token all-reduce;
    • grows the workspace with an eager two-shot call;
    • checks that the retired list holds the old workspace and that its handle is still mapped;
    • replays the graph three times with new inputs;
    • grows the workspace again, past the one no capture used, and checks that the retired list still holds only the
      captured workspace and that the graph still replays;
    • then checks that growth under capture is refused.

    It reads the retired list this PR adds, so it does not run before the fix; the repro above is its fail-before.

Results on GB200:

  • The one-rank test fails on main: the call enters ipcNvlsAllocate under capture and asserts
    group.size() >= 2. With this PR it passes.
  • The growth test's body passes on both of 2 ranks. Its second-growth step fails without the capture mark (the
    retired list also holds the uncaptured workspace).
  • The file's 109 eager bodies (one-shot, two-shot, the RMSNorm and quant fusions) pass at 2 ranks with and without
    this PR.
  • test_mnnvl_workspace_creation_refuses_graph_capture (one GPU; added to l0_b200.yml's single-GPU PyTorch
    block): creating the workspace for a one-rank group inside a capture raises the guard's error. The guard runs
    before any MNNVL call, so one GPU suffices. Without the guard the call enters the workspace construction under
    capture and fails with another error.

Dev Engineer Review

MNNVLAllReduce retains replaced workspaces so captured CUDA graphs can continue using their buffers and flags. Workspace creation or growth during graph capture raises RuntimeError and instructs callers to create each shape outside capture first.

QA Engineer Review

The test module covers workspace growth after graph capture, graph replay, and refusal to create a workspace during capture. The tests are listed in the GB200 multi-GPU and B200/B100 CI lists. The author reports that both tests pass in their stated configurations; those results were not independently verified. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the reported regression and capture guard.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/distributed/ops.py: Verify that capture-time creation and growth raise the expected error, and that graphs captured before workspace growth remain valid.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/multi_gpu/test_mnnvl_allreduce.py: Tests workspace retention and graph replay after growth, plus the capture-time creation guard. The tests are listed in the GB200 multi-GPU and B200/B100 CI lists, respectively.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml: Adds the workspace-growth graph test to the GB200 multi-GPU CI list.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml: Adds the workspace-creation capture-guard test to the B200/B100 CI list.

…ive for captured graphs

Growing the MNNVL all-reduce workspace replaced it and freed the previous
buffers, pointer tables and flags while CUDA graphs captured before the growth
still launched on them. The replaced workspaces now stay alive with the
process, and creating or growing a workspace during graph capture raises
instead of failing inside the driver.

test_mnnvl_workspace_growth_keeps_captured_graphs captures a one-token
all-reduce, grows the workspace with an eager two-shot call, replays the graph
and checks growth under capture is refused.

test_mnnvl_workspace_growth_keeps_captured_graphs needs fabric-backed MNNVL on
two GB200 GPUs, like the checkpoint graph tests next to it.

The workspace-growth test came from a branch whose yapf settings differ
from main's; format it as main's pre-commit does. No behaviour change.

…re guard

Creating or growing the MNNVL all-reduce workspace under CUDA-graph
capture raises before the collective allocation. Its only test was the
last block of the 2-rank growth test, which runs on GB200 multi-GPU
stages only. test_mnnvl_workspace_creation_refuses_graph_capture creates
the workspace for a one-rank group inside a capture and expects the
guard's RuntimeError. The guard runs before any MNNVL call, so one GPU
suffices; without it the call enters the workspace construction under
capture and fails inside it with another error. The test joins l0_b200's
single-GPU PyTorch block.

Walkthrough

MNNVL workspace creation or growth now raises RuntimeError during CUDA graph capture. When workspace growth replaces a workspace used by a captured graph, the old workspace is retained. Tests cover graph replay after growth and capture rejection.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard and retain MNNVL workspaces
tensorrt_llm/_torch/distributed/ops.py
The workspace helper marks workspaces used during capture and rejects workspace creation or growth during capture. Before publishing a replacement, it retains the previous workspace if a captured graph used it.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0102a

If an explicit MNNVL AllReduce is constructed during CUDA graph capture, the new warmup guidance may be swallowed and the code may fall back to regular AllReduce. The impact is narrow and the fallback is safe, so this is mergeable with the owner aware of it.

- Line 290: Preserve the CUDA graph capture workspace-creation failure as a
distinct error in _get_or_scale_allreduce_mnnvl_workspace, and in the AllReduce
constructor, re-raise that error when self.strategy is AllReduceStrategy.MNNVL
instead of silently falling back; retain fallback behavior for other strategies.
Add a constructor-path regression test in the specified MNNVL all-reduce test
module.
- Around line 373-374: Update the workspace-retirement logic in MNNVLAllReduce
so growth does not unconditionally add previous_workspace to the process-wide
list; retain it only while a captured graph can replay against it, and release
it once no graph references it.

…ture used it

Growth retired every replaced workspace for the life of the process,
including ones no CUDA graph had captured. Growth rounds to 8 MiB, so a
run of rising eager sizes could keep many dead workspaces.

The getter now marks a workspace it hands out during capture, and a
growth keeps the previous workspace only when it is marked. An unmarked
one is released at the replacement, after every rank's device
synchronize in the protocol reset. The growth test checks that a second
growth, past a workspace no capture used, leaves only the captured one
in the retired list and that the graph still replays.
