Generation-only retries retain the original disagg_request_id when delivery is uncertain. The client stops retrying after a response starts or when an error may follow delivery. This reduces duplicate-generation risk while keeping context retries separate.
The disaggregation receiver now identifies context-first requests. When a stale request has no matching transmit session, the sender fails context-first requests and leaves other schedule styles pending.
KV-cache V2 now tracks in-flight prefixes and can defer eligible context requests until a matching prefill contributes reusable blocks. The scheduler handles planned waits, limits wait passes, and excludes waits from deadlock progress. Snapshot-point handling also supports multiple waiters.
ConversationRouter adds content-based placement for new conversation IDs, with a configurable 32-block default threshold. The coordinator can request routing content without reserving a server, then retry selection with a content key. Existing routable IDs remain sticky.
The single-rank attention-DP path now skips dummy padding. KV page copies can use up to 16 CTAs for low-bandwidth copies. DSpark and Mamba cache state resets use in-place tensor operations; KDA replay seeding can batch compatible layer buffers.
The PR adds the new_conversation_min_match_blocks constructor parameter and ConversationRouter.content_routing_key. Verify coordinator callers accept a nullable server result and handle the routing-content-required response.
Reported test results and known test-order issues are described in the objectives. No review-finding counts or independent test execution results were supplied.
QA Engineer Review
The changes add coverage for prefix waiting and snapshot points, attention-DP padding, disaggregation retries and stale transfers, content-based routing, cache resets, replay seeding, and host/device page copies. The B200 CI list adds the DSpark no-host-sync test. The supplied evidence does not establish whether the other changed tests are listed in CI or manual-QA lists. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up, because list coverage and independent test results for the changed suites are not established.

Description
This PR is part of a series that lands Kimi-K3 optimizations, re-implemented for production use (wave 1 of 8 PRs). It applies on main (a10e80f) by itself and does not depend on the other wave-1 PRs (Helix CP, spec decode, KDA/DWDP, low-M GEMM).
It has 8 commits. Each is self-contained, and each commit message gives the full rationale, when the change takes effect, measurements and tests. None of the changes adds a config switch or env var. The only new knob is the router arg new_conversation_min_match_blocks.
Fixes
Disagg router: do not re-post a generation leg the server may have accepted.OpenAIHttpClient retried a generation leg after any client error and gave the retry a new disagg_request_id. The re-posted request could never receive its KV cache and stayed in DISAGG_GENERATION_TRANS_IN_PROGRESS, holding transfer-admission budget. In GB300 job 1039769 this left a 735k-token zombie and about 200 requests hung for 35 min. A generation leg is now retried only if it was not delivered (connection refused, or reset while the request was being written) and keeps its id. A server-side close before the response (ServerDisconnectedError) is not retried: the server may already hold the request. Context legs are unchanged.
KV transfer sender: fail context-first requests that no TxSession claims. Request infos that outlive the 120 s TTL without a TxSession are now reported FAILED to context-first receivers, which used to wait forever. Generation-first entries are still evicted silently.
PyExecutor: skip attention-DP dummy padding on a single-rank attention-DP group (tp_size <= 1, e.g. tp1 DWDP context workers). These workers used to run dummy forwards they do not need.
Performance
KV cache manager V2: split large host<->device page copies over up to 16 CTAs. Host copies use one CTA per 8 MiB of page. Recurrent-state pages larger than 100 MB were limited by one SM's bandwidth. Lossless.
KV cache manager V2: defer a new context request while a prefix of it is being prefilled. A scheduler-owned PrefixWaitPlanner (owned by KVCacheV2Scheduler) keeps a new context request queued while a request ahead of it is prefilling a shared prefix that goes at least 64 blocks deeper than the reuse tree offers; it defers behind a new owner only if that owner is admitted ahead of it, and owners leave its index when their context ends. The cache manager exposes only narrow capabilities: probe_context_reuse, request_prefix_snapshot (the owner ends a chunk / snapshots at that depth, or refuses when it cannot) and can_share_inflight_prefix, decided at construction (off e.g. for attention-only SWA with scratch reuse and no branch snapshots; on for the recurrent hybrid manager). The wait is bounded to 128 scheduler passes. It is on by default with block reuse. Multimodal prompts are excluded. The same commit fixes the PP loop so that every PP rank runs the scheduler once per iteration (nonzero first-stage attention-DP ranks used to schedule twice), which keeps the wait budget, the deadlock stall counter and long-prefill demotion consistent across PP stages.
ConversationRouter: place new conversation_ids by block-prefix match. The first request of a new conversation goes to the server of the earlier conversation with the longest shared block prefix (at least new_conversation_min_match_blocks, default 32; 0 disables). This applies only when that prefix is specific to a few conversations. A prefix shared by more than a 1/N share of conversations (a common system prompt) is load-balanced as before. This works on both the in-process path and the coordinator path. The content keys are a chained keyed-blake3 hash, one key per 8 blocks (a follow-up commit; ~3–3.6× cheaper than block hashing on Grace/Vera).
Stream-ordered slot resets when requests join or leave a decode batch. Scalar writes such as t[i] = 0 into CUDA tensors (DSpark drafter, mamba cache managers) caused a blocking host sync in the overlap executor. They now use zero_(), fill_() or index_fill_(). The values written are the same.
KDA hybrid cache V2: seed the replay caches of all layers at once. This uses about 10 launches instead of about 600 per call for 69 KDA layers, and the result is bit-identical.
The generation-side attention-DP admission (KV-balanced admission of generation-only requests, item 9 in earlier revisions) has moved to [None][perf] Attention DP: KV-balanced admission of generation-only requests #21073, where it is opt-in (attention_dp_config.enable_kv_balanced_admission) and keeps queue order through admission groups; it is no longer part of this PR.
Bugs found and fixed while porting (relative to the reference implementation)
Router prefix following used to pin every conversation that shared a long common system prompt to one server. It now follows only prefixes specific to a few conversations. GB300 ctx_only DWDP16 conc128: 9.51 req/s, reuse 95.84% (job 334307) vs base 7.22 req/s, 94.45% (job 317519).
Whole-series end-to-end results. These numbers are for the full series of 8 PRs, not for this PR alone; they include the KV-balanced attention-DP admission that now lives in #21073. Per-PR attribution is in the commit messages.
Setup: GB300 NVL72 (NSC LHR), Kimi-K3 NVFP4 with the DSpark drafter, AgentX agentic traces, the same dev image and autotuner state on both sides. Base is main f298722, compared with main + all 8 PRs. NSC jobs: base 362316–362321, series 361375–361379.
After moving the attention-DP admission to #21073 and rebasing on main a10e80f, the affected suites were rerun on GB300 (OCI AGA jobs 1494431 / 1494542 after the latest review fixes; earlier 1494040; earlier rounds 416235 / 415399, control on main 415400/415486): same results as main; the only failures are three router tests that need LLM_MODELS_ROOT and fail identically on main. test_kv_cache_v2_inflight_prefix.py also covers a same-pass prefix owner keeping its requested snapshot point through its own branch-point lookup. test_mamba_cache_manager.py covers waiter snapshot points that arrive after the owner's history has advanced (native commit_min_snapshot contract), and test_adp_router.py covers priority-level admission under PRIORITY.
GB300 results: every test file this PR adds or changes passes. The full-series image was run on NSC LHR (jobs 364885, 365915). Per-commit jobs are listed in the commit messages (e.g. unit-test job 317331, 1732 tests; C++ gtests kvCacheManagerV2StatsTest and kvCacheManagerV2SsmSnapshotTest).
Known issues that already exist on main and are not caused by this PR (main fails the same way):
test_kv_transfer.py fails only when it runs after test_coordinator_worker.py / test_disagg_openai_client.py in the same pytest process. A KV cache manager V2 destructor raises CUDA driver error: 201 (invalid device context) and leaves the process unusable for later managers. Run alone, the file passes: 57/57 on this series, 55/55 on main (jobs 364885 / 364914). With that test order, the series fails 7 tests and main fails 5 (jobs 365266 / 365267).
test_host_device_page_copy.py reports setup ERRORs after that failure, through main's autouse check_kvcm2_not_poisoned fixture. Run alone, it passes 12/12. On main, test_copy_helper_exceptions.py hits the same ERRORs.
test_router.py::test_gpt_oss_router_tokens_match_chat_harmony_server_input (an unchanged test from main) needs $LLM_MODELS_ROOT/datasets/tiktoken_vocab.

Summary
In-flight prefix matching and scheduling tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/*
The manager indexes eligible prefills and plans waits for matching prefixes. The scheduler skips waiting requests under the defined owner conditions. Tests cover wait eligibility, bounds, and scheduler stalls.
Snapshot points for waiting requests tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/mamba_cache_manager/mamba_cache_manager_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/*
Snapshot points are aligned, merged with branch snapshots, and removed after the owner passes them. Tests cover snapshot eligibility and prefix reuse.
Mamba and KDA replay state tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/mamba_cache_manager/*, tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/cache_manager.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py
A shared helper converts host slot IDs to device tensors. Mamba and KDA replay paths reset tensor state in place; KDA uses stacked views for batched seeding when available.
DSpark resets slot-state tensors in place. GPU-only tests check assignment and preparation without host synchronization; the integration test list includes the new test.
The router stores sampled content hashes and can place new conversation IDs by sufficiently long, specific shared prefixes. Tests cover fallback placement, cache bounds, and server removal.
Generation-only retries retain the disaggregation request ID. Retries occur only for specified connection failures before a response starts.
Stale context-first receive handling tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_kv_transfer.py
Receive metadata identifies context-first requests. The stale-request sweep reports failure for those entries and removes other stale entries without reporting failure.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 7b8b3
With attention-DP, a single TP rank and context parallelism greater than 1, a rank that cannot fit its real request is no longer padded, so its peers' forward passes can be blocked. The prefix-wait limit can also be exceeded after a failed admission, delaying requests. Fix the padding guard before merge. Several smaller scheduling-cost, ordering and test-coverage items also remain open.

Explanation
The description is detailed and covers the change set. It has a Description section that lists eight numbered changes with rationale, a Test Coverage section with a per-file table and CI lists, and a completed PR checklist. It does not follow the template's title format, and it does not state a ticket ID or a title prefix. Its base-branch references conflict with the objectives: the description cites main a10e80f and the objectives cite main a828351. It also contains a long performance section and known-issue notes, which are beyond the template but do not hide the required information. Overall the description is mostly complete.

the content-required handshake and the delegating retry
Test list: the file already exists, so I assume an existing CI list collects it. Confirm that it does.
Verdict: sufficient. One gap remains, described below.
The gap. In get_next_server_by_key, a conversation whose pinned server equals exclude_server is not routable. _needs_content then returns True for an ID-only key, and the coordinator answers ROUTING_CONTENT_REQUIRED. get_next_server has a similar exclude case, but the by-key path has no test for it. A regression there could break retry-with-exclusion on the coordinator path.
Smallest test.
In test_conversation_router_by_key_requests_content_for_new_ids, place t::sa:a through its content key.
Call get_next_server_by_key("t::sa:a", exclude_server=server_a, req_id=5). Expect server is None and info == {ROUTING_CONTENT_REQUIRED: True}.
Repeat the call with content_routing_key(sibling_a). Expect a server other than server_a.

A single-rank attention-DP group skipped dummy padding because it has no
peer to keep in step. A KV connector that moves KV still needs a forward
pass on an empty rank: a canceled or completed load frees its slot only
after its response is flushed, so recovery never exited. Skip padding on a
single rank only when there is no connector or it is capacity-only.

…t chunk with an HTTP error
A generation server whose KV-cache transfer fails raises in its stream
generator after the 200 headers. The disaggregated server relayed that
as a 200 whose body was cut off, so the client saw a truncated stream
instead of an error.
_wrap_entry_point now pulls a relayed stream's first chunk before it
sends the headers. A chat or completion stream that fails before its
first chunk reaches _handle_exception and becomes an HTTP error. The
returned relay is already started, so closing it before it is iterated
still closes the upstream stream and releases the router reservation.
Responses streams keep their 200 plus an `error` event, because
guard_responses_stream stays inside the first-chunk pull. /v1/messages
keeps sending its headers at once: its reframed stream pings until the
first chunk, and a failure before that chunk ends in an Anthropic
`error` event, as before. total_responses now counts a held stream only
once its first chunk arrived.
The client's retry rules for generation legs are main's (NVIDIA#20938, NVIDIA#20491).
The client tests gain the cases main does not cover: the chat and
Responses request kinds failing after the headers over a real
connection, the transient retry budget and TRTLLM_DISAGG_NO_RETRY for an
undelivered leg, and three more possibly-delivered errors.
disagg-serving.md describes the retry rules, including the
frontend-affinity fallback that TRTLLM_DISAGG_NO_RETRY does not disable.

Dev Engineer Review
disagg_request_idwhen delivery is uncertain. The client stops retrying after a response starts or when an error may follow delivery. This reduces duplicate-generation risk while keeping context retries separate.ConversationRouteradds content-based placement for new conversation IDs, with a configurable 32-block default threshold. The coordinator can request routing content without reserving a server, then retry selection with a content key. Existing routable IDs remain sticky.new_conversation_min_match_blocksconstructor parameter andConversationRouter.content_routing_key. Verify coordinator callers accept a nullable server result and handle the routing-content-required response.QA Engineer Review
The changes add coverage for prefix waiting and snapshot points, attention-DP padding, disaggregation retries and stale transfers, content-based routing, cache resets, replay seeding, and host/device page copies. The B200 CI list adds the DSpark no-host-sync test. The supplied evidence does not establish whether the other changed tests are listed in CI or manual-QA lists. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up, because list coverage and independent test results for the changed suites are not established.

This PR is part of a series that lands Kimi-K3 optimizations, re-implemented for production use (wave 1 of 8 PRs). It applies on main (a10e80f) by itself and does not depend on the other wave-1 PRs (Helix CP, spec decode, KDA/DWDP, low-M GEMM).
It has 8 commits. Each is self-contained, and each commit message gives the full rationale, when the change takes effect, measurements and tests. None of the changes adds a config switch or env var. The only new knob is the router arg
new_conversation_min_match_blocks.Fixes
OpenAIHttpClientretried a generation leg after any client error and gave the retry a newdisagg_request_id. The re-posted request could never receive its KV cache and stayed inDISAGG_GENERATION_TRANS_IN_PROGRESS, holding transfer-admission budget. In GB300 job 1039769 this left a 735k-token zombie and about 200 requests hung for 35 min. A generation leg is now retried only if it was not delivered (connection refused, or reset while the request was being written) and keeps its id. A server-side close before the response (ServerDisconnectedError) is not retried: the server may already hold the request. Context legs are unchanged.tp_size <= 1, e.g. tp1 DWDP context workers). These workers used to run dummy forwards they do not need.Performance
PrefixWaitPlanner(owned byKVCacheV2Scheduler) keeps a new context request queued while a request ahead of it is prefilling a shared prefix that goes at least 64 blocks deeper than the reuse tree offers; it defers behind a new owner only if that owner is admitted ahead of it, and owners leave its index when their context ends. The cache manager exposes only narrow capabilities:probe_context_reuse,request_prefix_snapshot(the owner ends a chunk / snapshots at that depth, or refuses when it cannot) andcan_share_inflight_prefix, decided at construction (off e.g. for attention-only SWA with scratch reuse and no branch snapshots; on for the recurrent hybrid manager). The wait is bounded to 128 scheduler passes. It is on by default with block reuse. Multimodal prompts are excluded. The same commit fixes the PP loop so that every PP rank runs the scheduler once per iteration (nonzero first-stage attention-DP ranks used to schedule twice), which keeps the wait budget, the deadlock stall counter and long-prefill demotion consistent across PP stages.conversation_ids by block-prefix match. The first request of a new conversation goes to the server of the earlier conversation with the longest shared block prefix (at leastnew_conversation_min_match_blocks, default 32; 0 disables). This applies only when that prefix is specific to a few conversations. A prefix shared by more than a 1/N share of conversations (a common system prompt) is load-balanced as before. This works on both the in-process path and the coordinator path. The content keys are a chained keyed-blake3 hash, one key per 8 blocks (a follow-up commit; ~3–3.6× cheaper than block hashing on Grace/Vera).t[i] = 0into CUDA tensors (DSpark drafter, mamba cache managers) caused a blocking host sync in the overlap executor. They now usezero_(),fill_()orindex_fill_(). The values written are the same.The generation-side attention-DP admission (KV-balanced admission of generation-only requests, item 9 in earlier revisions) has moved to [None][perf] Attention DP: KV-balanced admission of generation-only requests #21073, where it is opt-in (
attention_dp_config.enable_kv_balanced_admission) and keeps queue order through admission groups; it is no longer part of this PR.Bugs found and fixed while porting (relative to the reference implementation)
Whole-series end-to-end results. These numbers are for the full series of 8 PRs, not for this PR alone; they include the KV-balanced attention-DP admission that now lives in #21073. Per-PR attribution is in the commit messages.
