Description

setup_disagg_cluster (tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py) picked the disaggregated server's port with get_free_port_in_ci, which probes a port and closes the probe. It then launched the context and generation workers and only then started trtllm-serve disaggregated on that port. Until the server bound it, another process on the host could take the port.

That is how test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b] failed in https://nvbugs/6988867. Its log shows:

  • [get_free_port_in_ci] ... allocated port=31827 from static range (28672, 32767) after 1 attempt(s); 1 reserved in-process.
  • Failed to bind disaggregated server socket to localhost:31827 ...: [Errno 98] Address already in use. Current port holder(s): 127.0.0.1:31827 status=LISTEN
  • The readiness check polls the port and does not watch the server process, so it passed (cluster_launch_to_ready: done in 183.209s) against the process holding the port. The client then got Internal server error Could not load a tokenizer from 'gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b' from that process, and the test stopped with RuntimeError: A sub-process has exited. because the server had exited.

In that run, another 4-GPU job on the same host had finished an accuracy test about 3 seconds after this one (by the CI log timestamps) and then started test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_20b_kv_cache_aware, which serves gpt-oss behind kv_cache_aware routers. That job most likely held the port. This is inferred: its own log is not kept, but the reply above is what a kv_cache_aware router sends for a model it cannot load, and the reproduction below gets the same reply from such a server.

Jobs in that state pick the same first port. get_free_port_in_ci draws from the global random module, and Evaluator.__init__ (tensorrt_llm/evaluate/interface.py) calls random.seed(0). In a process that has reserved no port yet and has not used random since that seeding, the first port it reserves from the 28672-32767 window is 31827. In the failing run, 31827 was the harness's first reservation (1 reserved in-process).

Fix

  • When num_workers is 1, setup_disagg_cluster starts trtllm-serve disaggregated first, with port 0 and --report_addr (supported for a single self-contained server since [https://nvbugs/6435121][fix] Eliminate the trtllm-serve port reservation race with --port 0 + --report_addr #17460). It reads back the port the server bound with wait_for_reported_addr, then launches the workers with that address as their cluster_uri. The port is bound by the server before anyone else learns it, so no other process can take it in between.
  • The server's own copy of cluster_uri keeps port 0. The server hosts the cluster storage on its own port and never reads the port in its copy of cluster_uri.
  • With num_workers > 1 the harness still picks the public and coordinator ports, because trtllm-serve rejects port 0 for a fleet. The server is now launched before the workers there too.
  • run_disagg_server (disagg_test_utils.py) takes an optional report_addr that it passes as --report_addr. Other callers are unchanged.
  • The waiver of test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b] is removed.

#17460 lists the test_disaggregated.py port picks among the sites it did not migrate; this change migrates the server port of setup_disagg_cluster.

Test Coverage

Run on one B200 node with the CI image that main pins at e2787a3 and the post-merge wheel of that commit. test_disaggregated.py and disagg_test_utils.py are identical at e2787a3 and at this PR's base. The test ran with 4 visible GPUs, as in its CI stage, and CONTAINER_PORT_START was unset, as on the SLURM CI path.

To reproduce the collision, each run's pytest session first constructs an Evaluator, as an earlier accuracy test does. A second process on the host does the same, picks a port with get_free_port_in_ci (it gets 31827), and starts trtllm-serve disaggregated with kv_cache_aware routers on that port as soon as the test prints [startup] cluster_launch_to_ready: start.

test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b]:

Code Second process Runs Result
before yes 2 2 failed, as in CI: harness picks 31827, server fails with [Errno 98] Address already in use, readiness passes against the second process, client gets Could not load a tokenizer from 'gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b', RuntimeError: A sub-process has exited.
after yes 2 2 passed; the server reported kernel-assigned ports 41579 and 46783, a bind of the reported port from another process failed with [Errno 98], and the second process received no requests
before no 1 passed (the harness picked 31827)
after no 1 passed

Other tests that go through setup_disagg_cluster, run after the change:

Test Result
test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_20b_kv_cache_aware[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-20b] passed (twice)
test_disaggregated_deepseek_v3_lite_fp8_nixl[DeepSeek-V3-Lite-fp8] passed (twice)
test_disaggregated_single_gpu passed
test_disaggregated_benchmark_gen_only_insufficient_kv passed
test_disaggregated_qwen3_multi_orchestrator (num_workers > 1) failed once, in a session after the two tests above: its workers' registration requests to the coordinator's port failed for 4 minutes; the cause was not found. Passed in 3 later runs, one of them in that same three-test order. Without the change it passed in 3 runs under the same conditions.

Dev Engineer Review

For single-worker clusters, setup_disagg_cluster starts the server on port 0, reads its bound address with wait_for_reported_addr, and gives that address to worker configurations. run_disagg_server adds the optional report_addr argument and passes it to the server when set.

For multi-worker clusters, the setup still selects public and coordinator ports before the server binds them. This retains a port-selection race for that path. The author reports successful runs of the targeted test, but also reports one unexplained coordinator-registration failure.

QA Engineer Review

The change modifies disaggregated cluster startup and removes the waiver for test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b]. The test is present in both the CI list tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_dgx_b200.yml and the manual-QA list tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_function_core.txt.

The changed setup covers server-reported port propagation for single-worker clusters and startup ordering for multi-worker clusters. The author reports successful targeted runs and an unexplained coordinator-registration failure. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/disagg_test_utils.py — run_disagg_server adds the optional report_addr API parameter. Verify the server writes its bound address when the parameter is set and callers without it retain existing behavior.
  • tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py — Startup now branches by worker count: single-worker setups use the reported server port, while multi-worker setups retain harness-selected ports. Verify address propagation, worker registration, and startup failure handling; the affected GPT-OSS test is listed in CI and manual QA.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt — Removes the waiver for test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony[gpt_oss/gpt-oss-120b], so the waiver no longer skips that test.

…-assigned port

setup_disagg_cluster picked the disaggregated server's port with
get_free_port_in_ci, which probes a port and closes the probe, launched
the workers, and only then started trtllm-serve disaggregated on that
port. Until the server bound it, another process on the host could take
the port. The server then exited with EADDRINUSE, and the readiness check
and the client tests went to whichever process held the port.

The pick also repeats across processes: get_free_port_in_ci draws from
the global random module, and Evaluator.__init__ seeds it with 0. In a
pytest process that has reserved no port yet and whose last use of
random was that seeding, the first port it reserves from the
28672-32767 window is 31827.

Start the disaggregated server first with port 0 and --report_addr, read
back the port it bound with wait_for_reported_addr, and give that address
to the workers. With num_workers > 1 the ports are still picked here,
because trtllm-serve rejects port 0 for a fleet. run_disagg_server takes
an optional report_addr that it passes as --report_addr.

Remove the waiver of test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony.

Walkthrough

The disaggregated test setup selects server ports based on worker count. For a single worker, it requests a kernel-assigned port and uses the reported address to update the cluster URI before building worker configurations. The server launcher accepts an optional address-reporting path. One test waiver entry is removed.

Changes

Disaggregated server startup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server address reporting option
tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/disagg_test_utils.py
run_disagg_server accepts an optional report_addr path. When set, the server command includes --report_addr and that path.
Worker-count-based cluster setup
tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py, tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
setup_disagg_cluster selects ports based on worker count. For a single worker, it starts the server, waits for the bound address, and updates the cluster URI before building worker configurations. For multiple workers, it starts the server after the workers. The waiver entry for test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony is removed.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the NVBugs ID and type tag, then states the main change: the disagg test server now binds to a kernel-assigned port. The raw summary and PR description confirm this. The title follows the repository template, and its 83 characters are within a reasonable length, though slightly long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's sections: Description, Test Coverage, and PR Checklist. The Description explains the root cause (port picked with get_free_port_in_ci, then a gap before the server bound it) and the fix for num_workers == 1 and num_workers > 1. Test Coverage lists the runs, the commands, and the results, including a flaky failure in test_disaggregated_qwen3_multi_orchestrator. The checklist is marked. The template's leading @coderabbitai summary line is present. The description is thorough. It does not state a link between the pre-existing test-port choice and the fix for multi-worker runs in a fully resolved way, but that is a minor gap and does not reduce overall completeness. The API-change label item is not addressed; the change adds an optional argument to run_disagg_server, which may warrant an api-compatible label.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Add a deterministic single-worker collision regression test.

The existing callers cover normal startup and downstream requests, but they do not verify that readiness belongs to the launched server. A test that only asserts setup rejects a bind failure is insufficient because the old probe-and-close implementation could pass when readiness observes the competing listener.

Force contention at the port selected by the old path. Then assert that the launched server starts successfully and owns its reported address.

The single-server fix looks right: --report_addr is accepted only there, the HTTP cluster storage is served from the server's own app, and a server that exits before reporting is cleaned up. One question inline on the fleet path. The branch also conflicts with main in waives.txt (neighbouring waivers changed), so it needs a rebase.

Resolve the waives.txt conflict: main unwaived
test_disaggregated_qwen3_32b_fp8 and this branch unwaives
test_disaggregated_gpt_oss_120b_harmony, so both lines go.

…sagg_cluster

Only the single-server path needs the server to start before the
workers, so that the workers get the port it reports. With
num_workers > 1 both ports are still picked up front, so keep the
original order there: workers first, then the server.

👎 Promotion blocked, new vulnerability found

Vulnerability report

Component Vulnerability Description Severity
PillowPython CVE-2026-112899 Pillow is a Python imaging library. In versions 2.3.0 through 12.3.0, EPS rendering does not validate the scaled image dimensions before invoking Ghostscript. Applications that process untrusted EPS or PostScript files using an application-selected scale greater than one can incur excessive Ghostscript CPU and temporary disk consumption. In versions with decompression-bomb protection, the scaled output is checked only after Ghostscript has completed rendering, allowing resource consumption beyond the configured pixel limit. The amplification depends on the scale selected by the application, not an attacker-controlled scale value. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. MEDIUM
