[None][fix] Give attention-DP runtime dummies the configured beam width - #21311
Attention-DP generation dummies on the pre-schedule padding path now use max_beam_width; context dummies remain width 1. The empty-batch rescue pads with a one-token, width-one context dummy under beam search, so it stays at one block.
KVCacheManager.add_dummy_requests checks capacity for multi-beam dummy requests on self-attention caches before native allocation and returns None when capacity is insufficient. Cross caches share blocks across beams and keep the one-block check.
QA Engineer Review
test_py_executor.py adds checks for role-based beam widths in the pre-schedule padding (fixed and legacy modes) and for the one-block empty-batch padding, including with fewer free blocks than beams.
test_resource_manager.py adds block-aligned capacity tests for multi-beam dummies, a two-request batch total, and a V2 test of the block-table rows per beam.
test_connector_adp.py and test_benchmark_disagg.py only set max_beam_width = 1 on the executor stubs, which the padding path now reads.
Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py: Verify generation and context dummy widths in the pre-schedule padding, and that the empty-batch rescue stays one block wide under beam search.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py: Verify capacity accounting for beam width, extra KV tokens, the shared full blocks and CP Helix's minimum token count on self-attention caches; cross caches are exempt. Insufficient capacity should return None before native allocation.
tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_py_executor.py: Covers role-based widths in the pre-schedule padding and the one-block empty-batch padding.
tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_resource_manager.py: Covers block-aligned capacity, the batch total and the V2 block-table rows; the cross-cache exemption has no unit test.
tests/unittest/_torch/disaggregation/test_benchmark_disagg.py, tests/unittest/_torch/test_connector_adp.py: Executor stub fixes only; no behavior change.
Description
With attention DP and beam search, a rank pads an idle or empty batch with a generation dummy of width one. TRTLLM attention still copies max_beam_width block-table rows for each generation request. The decoder lays out the batch with the first generation request's width, so the step fails in KVCacheManagerV2.copy_batch_block_offsets at assert copy_idx.shape[0] == num_seqs.
This PR passes max_beam_width=self.max_beam_width to the generation dummy of both branches of _pad_attention_dp_dummy_request. Context dummies keep width one, because KVCacheManager would otherwise allocate per-beam blocks for them. KVCacheManagerV2.add_dummy_requests expands only generation dummies and returns None when the expansion does not fit; the caller then schedules an empty batch that the fleet retries, logged once.
_pad_empty_attention_dp_batch, the rescue for a rank that is short of KV, does not request a beam dummy: under beam search it pads with the one-token, width-one context dummy it already uses for context-only caches, so it stays at one block and a rank with fewer free blocks than beams still pads.
This PR also adds a capacity check to KVCacheManager.add_dummy_requests (V1). It previously checked only that one block was free, so a beam dummy that needs a block per beam could fail inside the native allocation. It now counts the blocks of every beam, the shared full blocks once and the partial block per beam, across all requested dummies, and returns None when they do not fit, as V2 does. Cross caches share every block across beams and keep the one-block check.
Since #20938, a single-rank group without a KV-moving connector skips this padding. The failure therefore needs a multi-rank attention-DP group, or a single rank with such a connector.

need twelve blocks, refused with eleven free, allocated with twelve.
test_resource_manager.py::test_v2_beam_dummy_supplies_a_block_table_row_per_beam: a

An attention-DP rank pads an idle or empty batch with a width-one
generation dummy, while TRTLLM attention copies max_beam_width block-table
rows per generation request. With beam search the decoder layout and the
KV block-table copy then disagree on the row count and the step fails.

Summary
Select beam width for dummy role tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py
Active-request and empty-batch padding use the configured maximum beam width for generation dummies and width 1 for context dummies. Tests cover both dummy roles in fixed and legacy modes, and in empty-batch padding.
KVCacheManager.add_dummy_requests estimates required blocks for multi-beam dummy requests and returns None when capacity is insufficient. Tests check that failed allocation does not consume blocks and that allocation succeeds when capacity is available.
Handle completed connector loads with no pending work tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py, tests/unittest/_torch/test_connector_adp.py
Connector batch startup reports an error when all loading requests are finished and no pending transfer or response termination can free KV cache. The recovery test checks connector failure state, transfer cleanup, request termination, and padding retries.
Generation padding uses the configured beam width, with capacity checked before allocation. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

It has a detailed Test Coverage section that names the new tests and the local and end-to-end validation runs. The PR Checklist is present and marked. The title is not in the description body; the template title line is still the placeholder text from the comment block, so the required title format "[JIRA ticket/NVBugs ID/GitHub issue/None][type] Summary" is not confirmed by the description itself. The description is thorough and specific, and it meets the requirement that the description be mostly complete. The only gap is the missing final title line, which is a minor, non-critical item.

KVCacheManagerV2 expands only generation dummies to the beam width, but
KVCacheManager allocates per-beam blocks for every dummy, so a context
dummy would take more KV than it needs. Pass max_beam_width only to
generation dummies, and cover both roles on both padding branches.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Test the real block-table regression.
The new tests mock add_dummy_requests, so they do not verify that a width-4 dummy has four KV rows or that copy_batch_block_offsets accepts it. Add a regression test using KVCacheManagerV2 that pads a generation dummy and copies its block offsets. tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kvcm2_integration.py is a suitable location.

Exit the connector retry loop when no transfer can make progress.
loading_context can remain non-empty after take_scheduled_requests_pending_load removes the request from an empty batch. If the generation dummy cannot fit at self.max_beam_width, add_dummy_requests returns None; the helper leaves the batch empty and reports no error.
When no pending transfer remains, _kv_connector_sync_status has no transfer deadline. The loop calls hang_detector.checkpoint() on every iteration, so the hang detector does not fire. Executor progress can therefore remain blocked indefinitely.
Add a no-progress guard after the status vote. Report the failure through the synchronized error path when the batch is still empty and neither a pending transfer nor pending response termination can free capacity.

Add a no-progress guard after the connector status vote: when the batch remains
empty and neither a pending transfer nor pending response termination can free
capacity, report failure through the synchronized error path so the retry loop
exits. Place the guard in the flow around _kv_connector_sync_status and preserve
normal retries when progress remains possible.
The new capacity check adds _kv_draft and sums block estimates across request_ids. The added test uses one request with no draft reserve. It would not catch a regression that omits draft blocks or undercounts a batch, which could let native allocation fail after allocation starts. Add a case in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_resource_manager.py with two beam requests and a draft reserve that crosses a block boundary. Assert that insufficient capacity returns None without consuming blocks.

…ress
When an async restore empties an attention-DP batch, the recovery loop
waits until a padding dummy fits. If every load is finished and no
transfer or response can free KV, the dummy never fits and the loop polled
forever without tripping the hang detector. Fail all owners through the
status vote instead. The recovery tests' executor now carries a beam
width, which the padding path reads.

@zhaoyangwang-nvidia Thanks for the review. After your approval, I added a connector recovery change from the CodeRabbit review; I've reverted it to keep this PR to the approved scope.
Relative to the approved commit, the PR now only adds two test changes: a V1 capacity test for the draft reserve and batch total, and max_beam_width on the connector recovery tests' executor, which the padding path reads (four of those tests fail without it). Could you re-approve when you have a moment?

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.
The width fix matches the assert you describe, and keeping context dummies at width 1 is correct.
Description: the CodeRabbit summary at the top is out of date. It describes connector recovery reporting failure through the status vote, plus new recovery tests in test_connector_adp.py. A later commit on this branch reverted that change, and the only remaining edit to that file is the one-line max_beam_width = 1 stub fix. The hand-written "Description" section also leaves out the new V1 capacity check in KVCacheManager.add_dummy_requests. Please regenerate or trim the CodeRabbit block and add a sentence on the V1 check, so a reader of the merged PR knows both behaviors changed.
The attention-DP precheck sizes a dummy as one sequence; a beam dummy
that does not fit is reported by add_dummy_requests returning None. The
V1 beam check counts only the target cache, because speculative decoding
requires beam width 1.

Thanks for the fix. Giving attention-DP generation dummies the engine beam width matches what TRTLLM attention copies, and keeping context dummies at width one is right. Review summary: 2 Blocker, 1 Possibly blocking, 3 Required, 7 Nice to have; they are inline unless listed below. No /bot run has happened on this PR yet, and the first Blocker is a pre-merge CPU test failure.
[Required] PR description, Test Coverage: it says CI skips test_connector_adp.py (nvbugs/7003528) and that the main merge "only moves the test files", and it reports runs on the pre-merge base 120ea6b8c7. At this head, #21465 (merged 2026-11-04 and pulled in by the 11-05 main merge) removed that skip from waives.txt. The file now runs in pre-merge l0_cpu (l0_cpu.yml L168; only 4 cases are waived, under nvbugs/7044104), and the merged tree fails test_benchmark_disagg.py::test_allows_dummy (see the inline Blocker on py_executor.py L9431). Please rerun tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor, tests/unittest/_torch/disaggregation and tests/unittest/_torch/test_connector_adp.py on the merged head (or /bot run) and update the section.
[Required] Every commit carries Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>. AGENTS.md says "Never attribute AI tools in sign-off line." and "Do not add co-authors to the git commit message unless explicitly instructed to do so by the user." Please drop the trailer: reword the commits, or make sure the squash message does not carry it. The AI-assistance note in the description is fine.
[Nice to have] +1 to brnguyen2's thread on py_executor.py:9394: the one-sequence precheck no longer predicts the beam allocation. Passing the dummy's beam width to _has_adp_dummy_kv_capacity (V1 _num_blocks_to_completion, the matching V2 count) would keep beam shortages on its single warning_once early exit. The inline comments on L9534 and L9435 show that the None path is not always a safe degradation.
[Nice to have]tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/inputs.py L1880-1884 still says attention-DP dummies are built "at width one". After this PR, attention-DP generation dummies use the engine width (warmup dummies already did). Please update that comment, which documents the invariant the beam-width check relies on.
@sunnyqgg Thank you for the review. The four points from the review summary, which have no inline thread:
Description and Test Coverage (Required): rewritten for the merged head. The runs there are on the branch as pushed (6c6ef98eaa), built natively: _torch/disaggregation and _torch/pyexecutor (cpu_only), test_py_executor.py, test_resource_manager.py and test_connector_adp.py; the only failures are the four test_connector_adp.py cases waived under nvbugs/7044104, three test_kv_cache_v2_vocab_size.py cases outside this PR, and two MPI-spawn tests my machine cannot run.
Co-Authored-By trailers (Required): removed from every commit. I reworded the earlier commits in place (same trees, parents and dates) and put the three review commits on top, so the branch was force-pushed; git range-diff against the previous head shows message-only changes.
Beam-aware precheck (Nice to have, +1 brnguyen2): left as is for this PR. With the empty-batch rescue back at one block, the only beam dummy is the pre-schedule one. When it does not fit, add_dummy_requests returns None, the warning fires once, and if the rank then schedules nothing, _pad_empty_attention_dp_batch pads it with the one-block context dummy, so the stall window from your L9534 comment is closed on both paths. Making the precheck count per beam for both managers needs a V2 counterpart of _num_blocks_to_completion (get_num_free_blocks asserts an empty manager there), which I would rather do as a follow-up, unless you want it here.
inputs.py comment (Nice to have): updated. It now says CUDA-graph padding, warmup and attention-DP generation dummies run at the engine width and context dummies at width one.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The Blockers from my review of 2026-11-07 are resolved or answered at 0a7ecb3:
test_benchmark_disagg.py:758 gives MockPadDummyExecutormax_beam_width = 1, so the three test_allows_dummy cases no longer raise AttributeError (343c072).
py_executor.py:9641 pads an empty beam-search rank with a one-token, width-one context dummy, so the rescue needs one KV block instead of W (9e71628), covered by the two new test_pad_empty_batch_* tests.
No /bot run yet: the author's local runs were on 6c6ef98, before the 11-09 main merge, which also un-waives four test_connector_adp.py cases (#21672).
Attention DP with beam search still has no CI run on a real model; the rescue change is tested only against stubs.
@sunnyqgg Thanks for the review. I updated the branch from main again today (956f784fa2, main 4110eeb8c6) and reran the groups on a native build of that head: _torch/disaggregation and _torch/pyexecutor (cpu_only), test_py_executor.py, test_connector_adp.py and test_resource_manager.py. The four test_connector_adp.py cases that #21672 un-waived pass, and the test_disagg_idle_cancellation.py fixture cases that failed on the previous head pass with #21994 merged. The Test Coverage section has the counts.
On the real-model remark: I ran the same workload on a two-GPU node (two L40S, tensor_parallel_size=2, enable_attention_dp=True, max_beam_width=4, Llama-3.2-1B, overlap scheduler and CUDA graphs on, this head built with the repository's docker release build).
Without this PR (the same build with its three source files reverted to the merge base), both runs fail with the copy_idx.shape[0] == num_seqs assertion in copy_batch_block_offsets on rank 1. With this PR, both runs complete every request. The row is in the description's table. The empty-batch rescue path still has unit coverage only.

With attention DP and beam search, a rank pads an idle or empty batch with a generation dummy of width one. TRTLLM attention still copies
max_beam_widthblock-table rows for each generation request. The decoder lays out the batch with the first generation request's width, so the step fails inKVCacheManagerV2.copy_batch_block_offsetsatassert copy_idx.shape[0] == num_seqs.This PR passes
max_beam_width=self.max_beam_widthto the generation dummy of both branches of_pad_attention_dp_dummy_request. Context dummies keep width one, becauseKVCacheManagerwould otherwise allocate per-beam blocks for them.KVCacheManagerV2.add_dummy_requestsexpands only generation dummies and returnsNonewhen the expansion does not fit; the caller then schedules an empty batch that the fleet retries, logged once._pad_empty_attention_dp_batch, the rescue for a rank that is short of KV, does not request a beam dummy: under beam search it pads with the one-token, width-one context dummy it already uses for context-only caches, so it stays at one block and a rank with fewer free blocks than beams still pads.This PR also adds a capacity check to
KVCacheManager.add_dummy_requests(V1). It previously checked only that one block was free, so a beam dummy that needs a block per beam could fail inside the native allocation. It now counts the blocks of every beam, the shared full blocks once and the partial block per beam, across all requested dummies, and returnsNonewhen they do not fit, as V2 does. Cross caches share every block across beams and keep the one-block check.Since #20938, a single-rank group without a KV-moving connector skips this padding. The failure therefore needs a multi-rank attention-DP group, or a single rank with such a connector.

They do not change these runtime dummies, and I found no existing report of this failure.
Test Coverage
test_adp_pad_dummy_beam_width_follows_role(generation and context roles, both paddingbranches) in
tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_py_executor.py: the pre-schedulegeneration dummy carries the engine beam width, the context dummy width one.
test_pad_empty_batch_dummy_is_one_block_wideandtest_pad_empty_batch_lands_under_beam_search_with_fewer_free_blocks_than_beams(samefile): the empty-batch rescue is one block wide for a width-one engine, a context-only
cache and beam search, and with one to three free blocks under beam width four it still
lands, as a context dummy.
test_resource_manager.py::test_beam_dummy_shares_full_blocks_and_copies_the_partial_one:with eight-token blocks and beam width four, a 16-token dummy takes the two shared blocks
and leaves zero free; a 17-token dummy needs six blocks, V1 returns None with five free and
allocates with six.
test_beam_dummy_capacity_counts_every_request: two 17-token dummiesneed twelve blocks, refused with eleven free, allocated with twelve.
test_resource_manager.py::test_v2_beam_dummy_supplies_a_block_table_row_per_beam: awidth-four V2 generation dummy copies four block-table rows, each with its own tail block;
a width-one dummy exposes one sequence row, and the width-four copy trips the row-count
assertion this PR fixes.
