- Around line 370-382: Add a focused test for deferred receive publication
through receive_gen_init and poll_gen_transfers: use a readiness event that
returns false then true, and verify the receive starts only after polling
observes readiness. Also verify forget_request and terminal-state polling remove
queued requests without publishing them.

- Around line 3833-3857: Add a parameterized test for the PyExecutor
coordinator-building logic that sets each of the four defer_unready_gen_receives
gate conditions independently and in combination. Assert the option is true only
when KV manager v2 is enabled, overlap scheduling is enabled, pipeline parallel
size is one, and no KV connector manager is present; otherwise assert it is
false.

hi @chenfeiz0326 , have you verified that this PR restores the perf regression and keeps the correctness good? |
|
@xwang233 Verified now, on GB300 (oci-jhb). Perf is restored, and accuracy is unchanged. Every number below compares PR head Perf:
|
| Arm | Rep 1 | Rep 2 | Rep 3 | Mean | CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
base bb367fc8c1 |
82530.24 | 82200.95 | 81578.66 | 82103.28 | 0.59% |

89175.67 | 89170.60 | 88812.87 | 89053.05 | 0.23% |
- +8.46% mean and +8.48% median. The slowest PR rep is still 7.61% faster than the fastest base rep, so the two arms do not overlap.
- On the same cluster, triage measured 88684 tok/s on the pre-regression commit
134fa245feand 81851 on the regressed commitd79ecd55ed. The PR is within 0.4% of the pre-regression level, and the base is within 0.3% of the regressed level. The PR fully recovers the [None][fix] Synchronize disaggregated KV receive destinations #19444 regression. - I confirmed the PR's new path is actually used in this config. The installed PR package contains
_publish_ready_gen_receivesand the base package does not. The gen worker runs KV cache manager V2 withdisable_overlap_scheduler: false, PP=1, no KV connector and the PYTHON transceiver. Those are exactly the conditions under which_build_disagg_coordinatorenables the deferred fence.
Accuracy: GSM8K on the same disagg topology
The existing DeepSeek-V4 accuracy tests are aggregated (V4-Pro) or run with disable_overlap_scheduler: True (V4-Flash disagg). In both cases defer_unready_gen_receives stays False, so those tests never reach the new code.
Instead, I ran perf-sanity's built-in lm_eval hook against this same case. The config was a copy of the YAML with only these changes, identical in both arms:
accuracy.enable_accuracy_test: trueandbenchmark.only_run_accuracy: true.TLLM_SPEC_DECODE_FORCE_NUM_ACCEPTED_TOKENS=1removed. It forces MTP draft acceptance, so outputs would not be real.- A tokenizer-only directory passed to lm_eval. transformers 5.5.4 cannot parse this checkpoint's
config.json('PreTrainedConfig' object has no attribute 'max_position_embeddings'); this is an lm_eval-side workaround and does not change anything in the server.
Settings: gsm8k_local, 5-shot, all 1319 samples, 512 concurrent requests. Topology unchanged: 12× ctx DEP4 + 1× gen DEP8, MTP1, MegaMoE DeepGEMM, NIXL, overlap scheduler on.

- Per sample: 1240 questions are correct in both arms, 12 only in base and 17 only in the PR. An exact McNemar test gives p = 0.46, so there is no significant difference.
- This is a no-prompt completions setup, so the absolute score is not comparable to the 96.0 chat-template reference in
gsm8k.yaml. The meaningful result is base vs PR, which matches.
Infra notes (for reproducibility)
- oci-jhb's idle-GPU reaper cancels any job whose GPUs sit idle for 30 minutes, and the per-node
pip installalone took about 17 minutes. I therefore pre-installed each arm's wheel into its own copy of the CI image (LLM_SBSA_DOCKER_IMAGE…202609210610-19345) and skipped the in-job install. I checked inside both images that the patch symbol count is 3 in the PR image and 0 in the base image. - Two reps are excluded and were replaced, one per arm:
- Base: a full NFS home quota (stale flashinfer per-rank caches) broke the flashinfer JIT build.
- PR: one gen rank hit a DeepGEMM
fp8_gemm_ntGrid sync timeoutduring executor warmup, before any request was served. The same signature appeared on a base-side bisect commit (950c9236c5) during triage, so I'm not attributing it to this PR.
…ation and its gate Add coordinator tests for the deferred receive path: a receive whose admission fence is unready is held and started on the first poll that observes the fence ready, with its transfer timer stamped then; requests publish independently in admission order; forget_request and a failed or finished request drop the queued receive without publishing it; sync and gen-only-benchmark modes take no fence. Add a parametrized PyExecutor test asserting the coordinator defers only with KV cache manager V2, the overlap scheduler, PP=1 and no KV connector.

A failed request stays active until the executor's error pass retires it, so drive the drop by state alone. Registry removal is covered by the forget_request test.

…and scheduling options - Bump up version to 1.3.0rc29.post1 - Squashed commits in c76f4a8..e4e00eb3 Adds opt-in performance paths for GPT-OSS on TensorRT-LLM's PyTorch backend. Unless noted, each is off by default, enabled only by its environment variable set to "1", and reports its engagement once per process. All-reduce fusions (attention-TP steps up to 128 tokens on the MXFP4 TRTLLM-Gen MoE with MXFP8 activations; other steps keep the unfused path): - TLLM_GPT_OSS_MOE_FINALIZE_AR: the MoE finalize runs inside the post-MoE all-reduce + residual + RMSNorm (trtllm::moe_finalize_allreduce_match), bit-exact to the unfused path, only when the tuned strategy is one-shot. - TLLM_GPT_OSS_AR_MXFP8_QUANT: the pre-MoE all-reduce + residual + RMSNorm also writes the MoE's MXFP8 input (trtllm::allreduce_residual_rmsnorm_mxfp8). - TLLM_REUSE_DECODER_INFO: in pure-generation steps, later attention layers reuse the decoder info built by the previous layer for the same metadata. Low-precision paths: - TLLM_MXFP4_MOE_NVFP4_ACT: run MXFP4 MoE experts as NVFP4 x NVFP4 by repacking the checkpoint scales at load, with static activation scales. The fused all-reduce paths above decline on such a layer. - TLLM_MXFP8_LM_HEAD (=1 or =all) / TLLM_MXFP8_ATTN_PROJ: requantize the bf16 lm_head or attention projections to MXFP8 W8A8 at load. - TLLM_BF16_TARGET_LOGITS / TLLM_BF16_DRAFT_LOGITS: keep target and EAGLE3 draft logits in the lm_head dtype. - Fused residual add + RMSNorm + NVFP4 quantization at the GPT-OSS MoE input via FlashInfer when the MoE consumes NVFP4 (on where eligible; TLLM_GPT_OSS_DISABLE_FUSED_MLP_NVFP4_INPUT=1 disables it). - TLLM_GPT_OSS_ENABLE_DIRECT_MOE_OUTPUT: direct post-MoE output on the TRTLLM-Gen NVFP4 MoE, preserving communication-owned buffers. Speculative decoding and scheduling: - TLLM_GPT_OSS_ENABLE_FUSED_EAGLE_CAPTURE: fuse the residual add with the EAGLE3 hidden-state capture. - EAGLE3 one-model (linear): support min_tokens=1 with first-token EOS masking (always on); TLLM_MINLEN1_INPLACE_MASK applies the mask in place. - TLLM_FAST_PREP_INPUTS: batch-level input and sampling-parameter preparation; same values and order. - TLLM_LPT_SORT: order scheduled generation requests longest-KV-first within each LoRA group. - TLLM_KV_FENCE_POLL: poll the disaggregated generation KV receive fence instead of blocking (backport of #19857).

@coderabbitai summary
Description
Fixes the throughput regression in nvbugs/6865617:
disagg-e2e-gb300_deepseek-v4-pro-fp4_8k1k_con4301_ctx12_dep4_gen1_dep8_eplb384_mtp1_ccb-NIXLon GB300. The bisect isolated a single culprit commit,58c8164343([None][fix] Synchronize disaggregated KV receive destinations, #19444).1. Root cause
#19444 made the KV receive destination safe for RDMA. RDMA cannot see CUDA stream ordering, so a receive must not be published until the admission work on the destination blocks has finished on the GPU.
KVCacheManagerV2.prepare_disagg_gen_initrecords a readiness event for each admitted gen-init request on the cache manager's stream, which is the executor's execution stream.KVCacheManagerV2.prepare_resourcesthen callsready.synchronize()on that event before the receive starts. This is a host-blocking wait.Under the overlap scheduler this costs a lot. When a request is admitted, the previous iteration's forward is still queued on the execution stream, ahead of the event. So
synchronize()makes the executor thread wait for that whole forward to finish on the GPU, and only then can it launch the next step. Host work that should overlap with the GPU runs serially instead, and the GPU sits idle between steps.At con4301, a new gen-init request is admitted almost every iteration, so nearly every step pays this cost.
cudaEventSynchronizecalls per 21 iterations.2. Fix
The ordering guarantee stays, but the readiness event is polled instead of waited on:
KVCacheManagerV2.take_disagg_receive_ready(req)hands the admission readiness event to the caller and removes it from the manager.prepare_resourcesthen has nothing to wait on for that request.DisaggTransferCoordinator.receive_gen_init, when deferral is enabled, takes the events before preparing resources and queues each admitted request with its event.event.query()is True), or that has no event, starts its asynchronous receive immediately.DISAGG_GENERATION_TRANS_IN_PROGRESS, so every admitted request ends in the same state on every rank and the scheduler does not admit it again.poll_gen_transferspublishes the queued receives whose events have completed on each later iteration, in admission order. The transfer-timeout clock starts at publication, not admission.forget_requestremoves its entry when the request is freed.PyExecutor._build_disagg_coordinatorenables deferral only where the blocking wait is the problem and polling is safe:Every other configuration, and the sync and gen-only-benchmark transfer modes, keeps the existing blocking path unchanged.
3. Performance
GB300,
output_token_throughput(tok/s, higher is better). Every rep completed all 43010 requests.134fa245fe(before #19444)d79ecd55ed(after #19444)bb367fc8c1(current main)4fce06d048disable_overlap_scheduler: false, PP=1, no KV connector and the PYTHON transceiver, which are exactly the conditions that enable deferral.Accuracy is unchanged on the same disagg topology: GSM8K, 5-shot, all 1319 samples, MTP not forced.
Test Coverage

The new tests catch every one, and the fulltests/unittest/_torch/disaggregation/suite passes (382 tests).l0_cpu.ymlandl0_b300.yml.PR Checklist
Dev Engineer Review
The implementation defers asynchronous generation receives until their KV-cache admission events are ready. It polls readiness without blocking and starts the transfer timeout when it publishes the receive. It drops queued receives for forgotten, failed, or completed requests.
PyExecutorenables deferral only with KV cache manager V2, overlap scheduling, PP=1, and no KV connector. Other configurations keep the existing behavior. The PR description reports an 8.46% throughput gain over the regression baseline and no significant GSM8K accuracy difference; these are author-reported results. Review findings and test execution results were not provided.QA Engineer Review
Three unit-test files changed. The tests cover readiness gating, independent publication, receive timer timing, cleanup of forgotten or terminal requests, sync and benchmark modes, default behavior, and the executor’s configuration gate. No integration test-list files changed. The changed unit tests do not require entries in the integration CI or manual-QA lists. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the added behavior and gate. Test execution status was not provided.
Per-File QA Perspective

This supports targeted coordinator tests; integration test-list registration is not applicable.tests/unittest/_torch/disaggregation/test_disagg_coordinator_receive.py: Adds tests for deferred publication, fence polling, transfer timing, request cleanup, and non-async modes. Integration test-list registration is not applicable.tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py: Adds parameterized checks for the deferral configuration gate and fallback behavior. Integration test-list registration is not applicable.
