[None][feat] Protect direct BF16 context-first KV transfers - #21272
Protect source and destination KV memory for a restricted context-first BF16 profile, reusing existing ownership, late-settlement, and deadline/fail-close machinery. Protection remains explicitly opt-in; disabling retries alone does not enable it.
Scope
Activation requires TRTLLM_ENABLE_KV_TRANSFER_LIFECYCLE_ENFORCEMENT=1 on every executor rank and TRTLLM_DISAGG_NO_RETRY=1 on the coordinator and workers; the existing FP4 bridge opt-in remains compatible.
The supported profile is context-first, full-context BF16 MHA/GQA K/V in KVCacheManagerV2, symmetric TP1/TP2, no attention-DP, PP1/CP1/DP1, direct asynchronous Python transceiver/C++ NIXL-UCX agent, and qualified MPI with a finite timeout.
Executor ranks agree before metadata publication; peer checks reject incompatible protected transfers before destination publication or source submission, without silent fallback to unprotected operation.
Sessions retain both K/V allocations and operation roots until safe settlement; unresolved cancellation, failure, or timeout uses the existing non-resettable grace and fail-stop policy, which can terminate the whole MPI launcher job.
Deployment requirements and limits: matching images/configuration and immutable pairing IDs; no bounce/staging, pipelining, layerwise transfer, retries/rerouting, general cancellation delivery, or automatic replacement.
Pipeline #67711: all 104 added CPU cases passed on both x86 and ARM; 7 H100 cases passed (TP1/TP2 native K/V transfer, four TP2 lifecycle scenarios, and BF16 serving). The four lifecycle cases also passed on B200.
Full CI is not green: its only actual failure was an unrelated, recurring KDA sm_reserve assertion on GB300. No disaggregation failure was reported. Current-head full CI #67825 is running for the merge gate.
Fresh full-diff self-review and independent production/test reviews found no actionable issue; git diff --check passed.
Fault cases mask completion after native DONE. They verify software retention/containment, not outstanding-DMA fencing or safe replacement.
Notes
General context-side cancellation delivery is separate in #21291, stacked on this PR. This PR does not qualify general in-flight cancellation.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
This change adds opt-in physical ownership for eligible context-first BF16 transfers. It validates local profiles and peer compatibility, applies ownership per session, and checks activation, cancellation, and resource retirement through unit, multiprocess, GPU, and integration tests.

Summary
Profile and peer qualification tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/context_first_profile.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/rank_info.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_context_first_profile.py
Adds local BF16 profile eligibility checks and peer compatibility checks. Rank information includes ownership metadata when enabled. CPU-only tests cover supported and rejected configurations.
Selects ownership after local checks and rank agreement, validates request conditions, and documents activation and timeout behavior. Tests cover selection, factory policy, and existing paths.
Per-session ownership and retirement tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_context_first_ownership.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_transfer_ownership_regressions.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_chunked_transfer.py
Applies the selected ownership mode to transfer sessions and tasks. Dispatch, cancellation, result routing, quiescence, and shutdown use the session’s ownership selection. Tests cover completion, cancellation, late operations, incompatible peers, and close refusal.
Multiprocess and GPU lifecycle validation tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_kv_transfer_mp.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_transfer_lifecycle_gpu.py, tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_dgx_h100.yml
Adds multiprocessing and GPU lifecycle scenarios for context-first BF16 ownership. Integration coverage checks worker activation, and the H100 test list includes the new cases.
The feature is opt-in. The remaining concern is a possible startup hang when an unexpected, non-ValueError failure occurs during lifecycle selection on one rank. The mixed-activation and nonzero-sender concerns are addressed by the all-rank agreement check and the peer ownership validation. A small fix is advisable before merge, and the risk is bounded.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Cache the per-peer layout validation. It currently re-runs on every request.
validate_context_first_peer rebuilds _ordinary_kv_layout for both page tables on each call. The function runs a boolean-mask scan over buffer_entries for every layer. The call sites run once per request:
Receiver.dispatch_task calls it on the executor thread.
Sender._dispatch_task_to_peer calls it for each peer.
The local page table is fixed. The peer RankInfo is cached by PeerRegistrar. The result for a given peer therefore does not change between requests. For deep models this cost grows with layer count on every request.
Record each validated (instance_name, instance_rank) pair, or the computed layouts, in the Sender and the Receiver. Skip re-validation on a hit. Invalidate the entry when the peer re-registers.

- Around line 148-183: Add a dedicated ownership field to RankInfo and set it
from config.context_first_ownership in TransferWorker before rank metadata is
published; update validate_context_first_peer to reject the transfer when either
endpoint’s ownership field is inactive. Do not use RecvReqInfo.context_first,
which represents request scheduling.

The ownership mechanism itself looks sound when both endpoints are protected. I traced source rooting, the cancel fence, SESSION_QUIESCED and deadline retirement, and the feature-off path is essentially unchanged. Before merge I'd like three things addressed: CI is red on deterministic disagg unit failures and the new H100 tests haven't run yet; activation is implicit; and asymmetric deployments now fail every request instead of falling back. Details are inline.

- Line 4289: Update context-first qualification associated with
context_first_ownership so every participating sender rank is qualified before
its destination is published; do not rely solely on rank-zero metadata or skip
validation for locally inactive senders in _dispatch_task_to_peer. Add a TP2
regression covering an inactive nonzero sender rank and verify the unowned
transfer path cannot report FAILED without sender-side quiescence proof.
