[None][fix] Do not lose the MPI Comm Server shutdown request while workers tear down by chenfeiz0326 · Pull Request #20608 · NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM

chenfeiz0326 · 2026-10-19T13:52:15Z

Description

trtllm-llmapi-launch stops the rank-0 MPI Comm Server (mgmn_leader_node) by running mgmn_leader_node --action stop right after its task exits. That stop client sends one shutdown request on a new connection and exits. The request can be lost, and then the job never ends.

Why it is lost. The server's control socket is a ZMQ PAIR socket, which talks to one peer at a time. It accepts the stop client only after it has processed the disconnect of the previous client, the engine that just exited, and that needs a zmq call on the socket. While the server waits for the last task's worker futures (as_completed), it makes none. So a request sent during that wait is dropped. The server then blocks in queue.get() forever, the follower ranks stay in MPICommExecutor, and the srun step outlives the test, which has already reported pass or fail.

It happens when worker teardown takes longer than the stop client. The Kimi-K3 DWDP16 ctx_only perf-sanity lane (16 GB300 ranks) hit it in 2 of 2 runs on main (54eff28): pytest finished, Rank0 MPI Comm server exit code: 0 was printed, and the job then sat until cancelled. The server never logged MpiSession.shutdown_abort. py-spy on the stuck job showed the leader in RemoteMpiCommSessionServer.serve -> ZeroMqQueue.get and all 15 followers in MPICommExecutor recv. Smaller jobs, whose workers finish before the stop client runs, tear down normally, e.g. a 1-node TP4 repro with the same launcher (15 s).

Reproduced with plain pyzmq, same sequence (engine sends task and exits, stop client connects and sends None, server busy in a future wait):

server during the wait	stop client	result
no zmq call (current)	send once	stop lost 3/3, server hangs
polls the socket	send once	stop lost whenever it is sent right after the engine exits (0/5 delivered), whatever the poll interval
polls, acks after the wait	resend on a new connection until acked	server stops 60/60, but for waits > ~2 s the ack goes to a connection the client already closed, and the client resends until it runs out of attempts (15/60 not acked)
polls, acks on receipt (this PR)	resend on a new connection until acked	60/60 acked, server stops 60/60

(Rows 3–4: 60 trials each, wait drawn from 0.2–3.0 s, 1 s per attempt.)

Change

mgmn_leader_node.stop_server_main resends the shutdown request on a new connection until the server acknowledges it: 1 s per attempt, 300 attempts, then a warning. Within an attempt it reads past other messages the server forwards (worker results, RemoteWorkerDeath) until the ack arrives or the attempt's time runs out. Each attempt closes with linger 0, so an unaccepted request can't block the process exit. Returns whether it was acknowledged, and --action stop exits 1 when it wasn't. The launcher reports that as MPI Comm server exit code.
RemoteMpiCommSessionServer:
- services the control socket every 0.1 s while it waits for worker futures (_wait_for_pending_futures), so a resent request gets through during the wait;
- replies SHUTDOWN_ACK as soon as it reads a shutdown request (_receive), during the wait or after it. A reply sent later would reach a stop client that has already closed that attempt;
- messages received during the wait are handled in order after it. Failure logging is unchanged.

[None][fix] Fail fast in trtllm-llmapi-launch when the rank-0 task exits and the worker world is wedged #19660 (open) also polls the socket during the wait, and adds a bounded teardown with MPI_Abort for wedged workers. The two are complementary. Polling alone does not close this race (row 2 above), and this PR doesn't address wedged workers.
[https://nvbugs/6913451][fix] Cut remote MPI session submit_sync wait and launcher stop latency #20293 and [https://nvbugs/6913451][fix] Avoid heavy imports in MPI shutdown #20434 (open) replace mgmn_leader_node --action stop in the launcher with a send-once pyzmq helper, to avoid importing tensorrt_llm for one message. That would bring the lost-stop hang back unless the helper keeps this resend-until-ack loop. I've asked on both PRs to carry it over.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/llmapi/test_mpi_session.py (cpu_only, real PAIR sockets, no MPI):
- test_stop_request_reaches_server_still_waiting_for_workers drives serve() with a worker future that stays pending until the stop client returns. The client must get the ack while the server is still waiting. Once the future completes, the server must shut down.
- test_stop_request_reads_past_other_messages_to_the_ack: the server sends a RemoteWorkerDeath before the ack, and the client must still stop on its single attempt.
- test_stop_request_gives_up_without_a_server: returns False after its attempts, without blocking.
- test_stop_cli_exit_code_reports_the_ack: --action stop exits 0 when acknowledged and 1 when not.
- test_server_wait_for_futures_logs_failures_and_returns_no_messages: checks the logged failure count and the first error.
Same test file in the CI image (…-202610150933-20252) on a GB300 node, against the GenPostMergeBuilds/3040 wheel, three arms:
- base files: the 3 new tests fail;
- this PR's first commit: the worker-wait test fails, because no ack arrives while the future is pending;
- all commits: the 3 new tests and the existing comm-server tests pass (27 passed).
One failure appears in all three arms and comes from my standalone copy of the test file lacking tests/test_common on sys.path.
Stress test of the real serve() and stop_server_main() in the same image, 40 trials, worker wait drawn from 0.2–3.0 s. First commit alone: the server stopped 40/40, but the client got the ack only 31/40 times, giving up after 30 s on every wait above 2 s. Both commits: acked 40/40, slowest ack 1.1 s.
GPU: the Kimi-K3 DWDP16 ctx_only lane on 4 GB300 nodes (oci-aga), GenPostMergeBuilds/3040 wheel with only these files overlaid. Without the change (same wheel, same lane), 2 of 2 runs hung for 25+ min after pytest's summary until cancelled. With the first commit, 2 of 2 runs shut down. The server logged MpiSession.shutdown_abort ... workers exited cleanly, all 15 followers logged worker rankN quited, and MGMN leader node exit code: 0 was printed within 30 s of the summary. In the run that passed, the server also logged Failed to send object: shutdown-ack, and the stop client resent for 5 min before giving up. The second commit fixes that. With it (the con220 config of the same lane), pytest passed, the server shut down cleanly, and all 15 followers exited. MPI Comm server exit code: 0 came straight after the task, and the job completed 20 s after pytest's summary. Neither Failed to send object nor did not acknowledge appeared.

…rkers tear down trtllm-llmapi-launch stops the rank-0 MPI Comm Server by running `mgmn_leader_node --action stop` right after its task exits. The stop client sent one shutdown request on a new connection and exited. The server's control socket is a ZMQ PAIR socket, which talks to one peer at a time: it only accepts the new client once it has processed the old client's (the exited engine's) disconnect, and that takes a zmq call on the socket.

The stop client stops a server whose worker future completes 3 s after the first request; gives up after its attempts without a server; failed futures are still logged.

Walkthrough

Remote shutdown handling now polls control messages while worker futures are pending. The leader retries shutdown requests, reports acknowledgment failure, and propagates failure through the CLI exit status.

Changes

Remote shutdown handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Service control messages while futures are pending `tensorrt_llm/llmapi/mpi_session.py`, `tests/unittest/llmapi/test_mpi_session.py`	The server polls its control socket during timed waits, buffers messages, acknowledges shutdown requests, and records worker failures. Tests cover pending shutdown handling and failed futures.
Retry shutdown requests until acknowledged `tensorrt_llm/llmapi/mgmn_leader_node.py`, `tests/unittest/llmapi/test_mpi_session.py`	`stop_server_main` uses configurable timeout and attempt limits, creates a new ZeroMQ connection per attempt, continues past intermediate messages, and returns whether shutdown was acknowledged. The CLI exits with status 1 when acknowledgment fails.

In a narrow failure case, the stop command can report failure after the server has shut down. This is mergeable with owner awareness, though the acknowledgment path should be corrected.

Add coverage for the real serve() acknowledgment path.

test_stop_request_reaches_server_still_waiting_for_workers uses a local serve_until_stopped() function and manually sends RemoteMpiCommSessionServer.SHUTDOWN_ACK. It does not call RemoteMpiCommSessionServer.serve(), so it can pass if the production acknowledgment is removed. Add a focused test that drives serve() through shutdown and asserts that stop_server_main() receives the acknowledgment.

Coverage summary: the modified test file adds retry-success, bounded-failure, and worker-future-failure tests. The file is listed in both the CPU and A100 test lists. CLI dispatch and buffered-message ordering remain optional coverage improvements.

…as it is read The server acknowledged a shutdown request only when it handled it, after its wait for the last task's worker futures. A request read during that wait came from a stop-client attempt that had already given up after its 1 s ack timeout and closed its connection, so the acknowledgment found no peer ("Failed to send object: shutdown-ack"). The server stopped, but the stop client kept resending for all 300 attempts (~5 min) before giving up. On the Kimi-K3 DWDP16 ctx_only lane this held the job for 5 min after a passing pytest. Read control messages through _receive(), which acknowledges a shutdown request right away, wherever it is read. The worker-wait test now drives serve() itself and checks that the acknowledgment arrives while the worker future is still pending; the failure-log test checks the logged message.

@NVIDIA/trt-llm-runtime-devs @zhaoyuanh-nvidia @lori-ren: requesting a code-owner review. The change is in tensorrt_llm/llmapi/{mpi_session,mgmn_leader_node}.py plus its unit tests.

mgmn_leader_node --action stop can lose the shutdown request while the comm server waits for slow worker teardown. The job then hangs after the test has finished; the Kimi-K3 DWDP16 perf-sanity lane hung in 2 of 2 runs on main. The fix makes the stop client resend until the server acknowledges, and the server acknowledges as soon as it reads the request. On the same lane with the fix, 2 of 2 runs ended cleanly, the last 20 s after pytest. Details are in the description.

CI on 3927d8f: the PR's own tests pass (test_mpi_session.py 28/28 on CPU x86 and arm, 20/20 on A100). The two failed stages are unrelated:

test_cute_dsl_moe.py::test_nvfp4_gather_grouped_gemm_act_fusion_blackwell[8192-8-1-256-relu2] mismatch on DGX_B200, which failed the same way on 3 other PRs' runs today;
a Jenkins posix_spawn failure on DGX_H100.

I re-ran CI. These files are on the multi-GPU trigger list, so the multi-GPU stages only run once the PR is approved and labeled.

… missing ack The stop client read one message per attempt. The comm server forwards worker results and RemoteWorkerDeath to whichever client is attached, so the stop client could read one of those, drop the ack queued behind it, and resend until its attempts ran out. Read until the ack arrives or the attempt's time runs out. `mgmn_leader_node --action stop` now exits 1 when the server never acknowledges, so the launcher's MPI Comm server exit code shows it. Describe what _wait_for_pending_futures does instead of the bug it fixed. Signed-off-by: chenfeiz0326 <203214996+chenfeiz0326@users.noreply.github.com>

Thanks @lori-ren. All three threads are addressed in 712ccc5. On #20293 and #20434: I'll comment on both. Their goal (send the stop without importing tensorrt_llm) and this PR's (don't lose the stop) don't conflict. A lightweight sender just needs the same loop: a new connection per attempt, wait for the shutdown-ack frame, and LINGER 0 on close. Whichever PR lands second can carry that over.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat an undelivered SHUTDOWN_ACK as success.

When _receive() reads None, put_noblock() can exhaust its nonblocking retries after zmq.Again and return without reporting failure. The server then enters its shutdown path, while stop_server_main() closes the connection and retries only a bounded number of new connections. The stop command can therefore report failure even though the server shut down.

Coordinate a bounded ACK resend or an explicit delivery outcome before completing shutdown. Do not use an unbounded blocking send or wait indefinitely for another client.
