[https://nvbugs/6964706][fix] Make KVCacheManagerV2 teardown safe without a CUDA context - #21795
Problem.KVCacheManagerV2 expects an explicit shutdown(). When a manager is instead freed by whoever drops the last reference (under pytest: the cyclic garbage collector, on an arbitrary thread), ~KvCacheManager() runs shutdown() and ~KvCache() runs close() on a thread that may have no current CUDA context. Every driver call in the teardown (recording the finish events that fence page release, unmapping pools, unregistering host memory) then fails with CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT (201). A destructor can only report that through the process-wide poison latch, so one leaked manager turns into CorruptedError on every later KVCacheManagerV2 call in the process; host tiers stop unmapping and the run ends in HostOOMError / CuOOMError (about 180 consecutive failures per pytest process in unittest/_torch/pyexecutor). Test-side fixes (#20816, #21158) close one leak path at a time; this fixes the manager.
Fix.
New CudaContextScope (push/pop of a CUDA context for a scope, a no-op when it is already current). The manager records the context it was constructed in and rejects construction without one.
~KvCacheManager, ~KvCache, ~Batch and ~PlannedDropHandle make that context current for their body, so a foreign-thread finalization releases exactly what shutdown() / close() / drop() would. ~Batch resets its device and pinned buffers at the end of its body, inside the scope, instead of leaving them to the member destructors that run after it.
When no context can be made current (the context or the driver is already gone), ~KvCacheManager leaks that manager's memory instead of poisoning: nothing of the manager is touched, so no shared structure is left half-torn and the managers that follow stay usable. A deinitialized driver (process exit) logs a warning; any other error logs an error with the driver's error name.
shutdown() records that it ran: a repeated call returns at once, and the destructor is a no-op after it. The poisoned path records it too, since nothing is released later either way. A manager finalized without shutdown() on a context-less thread logs a warning naming the missing call, so leaks stay visible without failing the process.
An explicit shutdown() / close() / drop() from the thread that has the context remains the normal path and does not push anything. Calling them from a thread without the context still fails as before: that is a caller bug the exception reports to the caller, while a destructor has nobody to report to, which is the only reason the scope lives in the destructors.
Verification.

none; the "finalized without shutdown()" warning is logged
CI only runs the branch, so it cannot show the red half. The tests are non-vacuous on base because the manager is constructed on the main thread, which has a context, and only the teardown moves to a context-less thread.

Test Coverage
tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py::TestTeardownWithoutCudaContext (new, 6 tests): a manager dropped on a fresh thread; an open cache and its manager dropped together; a cache dropped alone; a live PlannedDropHandle dropped alone; a Batch and its manager dropped together; a manager that was shut down and then dropped. Each asserts the poison latch stays clear and a fresh manager still works; the cases that release device memory also assert that the device's free memory came back, so a teardown that silently leaked would fail. The caches hold committed pages, so the teardown has pages and events to release. Pre-merge, the directory runs on A10 and B200 (l0_a10.yml, l0_b200.yml); on H100 it is post-merge, and the CPU stage deselects it (-m cpu_only).
cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2CudaContextScopeTest.cpp (new gtest): the three live branches of CudaContextScope (fresh thread, already current, foreign context restored). Runs pre-merge in the A30 batch_manager unit-test group.
tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py::TestPoison (unchanged): the latch and take_poison() still behave as before.

The change adds CudaContextScope and records the manager’s construction-time CUDA context. KvCacheManager uses that context during destructor cleanup. If context activation fails, it intentionally leaks manager-owned storage and the radix tree to avoid context-dependent destruction. Batch, KvCache, and PlannedDropHandle also scope cleanup with the manager context. Explicit shutdown() and close() remain important resource-release paths. The change adds a public cudaContext() accessor and makes shutdown() idempotent.
QA Engineer Review
The Python test module adds six teardown tests. They cover manager, cache, planned-drop handle, and batch finalization without a current CUDA context, plus repeated shutdown and subsequent manager use. The tests check process usability and device-memory recovery where applicable. A new C++ gtest target adds three CudaContextScope tests for pushing on a thread with no context, leaving an already-current context unchanged, and restoring a foreign context. The test files are not listed in the inspected integration test lists; no matching CI or manual-QA entry was found. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the added teardown scenarios. Completed current-head test results: not available.

…hout a CUDA context
A manager or cache that was never shut down is finalised by whichever
thread drops its last reference, and a thread that never touched CUDA
has no current context. The teardown's driver calls then fail with
CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT, and since a destructor can only report
through the process-wide poison latch, every later manager in the
process raises CorruptedError and host tiers stop unmapping.
Record the manager's CUDA context at construction and push it in the
destructors of KvCacheManager, KvCache, Batch and PlannedDropHandle
(CudaContextScope). When no context can be made current at all, the
manager leaks its storage and tree instead of poisoning. shutdown() is
recorded so the destructor is a no-op after it, and a manager finalised
without shutdown() on a context-less thread logs a warning.

The KV cache manager stores its CUDA context and uses context-scoped cleanup in manager, batch, and cache destructors. New tests exercise teardown on threads without a CUDA context.

Summary
CUDA context scope cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/utils/cudaContextScope.h, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/utils/cudaContextScope.cpp, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2CudaContextScopeTest.cpp
Adds CudaContextScope to query the current context, push a requested context when needed, and pop it if the scope pushed it. The build includes the implementation, and unit tests check context restoration behavior.
Manager context and shutdown cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/kvCacheManager.h, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/kvCacheManager.cpp
KvCacheManager stores its construction-time CUDA context and exposes it through cudaContext(). Its destructor scopes teardown to that context, attempts to preserve the radix tree and storage if the context is unusable, and tracks shutdown state.
Destructor integration and validation cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/batch.cpp, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/kvCache.cpp, tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/AGENTS.md
Batch, KvCache, and PlannedDropHandle destructors establish the manager’s context before cleanup. Tests cover teardown on threads without a CUDA context. The teardown guidance describes the cleanup paths and no-context behavior.
Teardown without a CUDA context is now much safer. A sparse batch destroyed on a context-free thread can still leak some device memory, and the test does not prove the context push happened. Both are bounded issues that should be addressed soon.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 18c31
The change improves cleanup isolation without demonstrating new access privileges or a broader attack path. Driver-loss and low-memory recovery remain incompletely verified, so the assessment is low risk rather than minimal.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated failure domain includes the manager's device and host allocations and subsequent cache-manager API work throughout the same process, because the poison latch rejects later calls. Deployment evidence does not establish how tenants, services, or environments share that process.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Destructor context selection comes from the manager's captured construction context, not a new Python-supplied teardown argument. The existing Python Batch binding keeps its manager alive, satisfying the native Batch's documented non-owning manager-pointer lifetime requirement.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The unusable-context fallback depends on allocating two ownership wrappers. Allocation failure can leave a member to undergo unscoped destruction and potentially poison the process. This limits the mitigation's guarantee, but does not demonstrate a PR regression: the base already attempted unscoped cleanup under an unusable context.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Consider allocation-independent resource abandonment for the unusable-context path, with forced driver and allocation failures to verify cross-manager containment. This would strengthen recovery guarantees rather than address a demonstrated newly introduced attack path.

The title follows the repository template with an NVBugs ID and the [fix] type. It names the main change: making KVCacheManagerV2 teardown safe when no CUDA context is current. The changeset matches this. It adds CudaContextScope, records the construction context in the manager, and makes ~KvCacheManager and ~KvCache activate that context before releasing resources.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The PR description follows the required template sections and covers what and why. It states the problem (CUDA context missing during teardown on arbitrary threads, leading to CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT and process-wide poisoning), the fix (CudaContextScope, construction-time context capture, shutdown idempotency, leak-on-failure behavior, and warnings), and the intended normal path (explicit shutdown/close/drop). The Test Coverage section lists the new Python teardown tests, the new C++ gtest, and the unchanged poison tests, with a verification table and pytest results. The title is not part of the description body and was not assessed here. The PR Checklist is ticked, but the Description and Test Coverage sections are long and contain some narrative verification detail. The description does not explicitly mention the title format or the API-compatibility label, which the template asks for. These are minor gaps. The description is mostly complete.

The leak fallback does not poison the process, and num_live_managers() still reaches zero. The test can therefore pass if teardown always takes the fallback. Capture the context-push warning or use a test hook to check that the drop thread had no current context and that the push succeeded.

Thanks for fixing this in the manager rather than one test at a time. I traced the teardown paths: after shutdown(), no KvCacheManager member destructor calls the driver; the leak branch leaves no dangling references (KvCache and PlannedDropHandle hold the manager by shared_ptr, and Batch keeps it alive through keep_alive<1, 2>); and production calls shutdown() on the executor thread. Counts: 0 blockers, 0 possibly blocking, 3 required, 13 nice to have. The last completed CI run, #83145, failed only on clang-format, which bebfe53 fixes; #83148 on the head had not reported when I wrote this.
[Required] PR description:
It says explicit shutdown()/close() "are unchanged". In fact a repeated shutdown() now returns at once without re-checking for open caches, the poisoned path records mShutDown, and the destructor no longer re-runs shutdown() (kvCacheManager.cpp:165-168, 470-476).
The Fix section names only ~KvCacheManager and ~KvCache; ~Batch and ~PlannedDropHandle changed too.
The CodeRabbit block still says "Current-head build and test results are not available", "Coverage verdict: needs follow-up" and "five test-db/ CI lists". The fifth list, l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml, only runs test_host_numa_placement.py.
Test Coverage lists l0_cpu, l0_a10, l0_h100 and l0_b200. CPU stages run -m cpu_only (jenkins/L0_Test.groovy:1962), which deselects the new class, and l0_h100.yml lists the directory under post_merge. Pre-merge, TestTeardownWithoutCudaContext runs only on A10 and B200; the H100 verification in the description was a local run.
Please update the description and delete or fix the CodeRabbit block (PR template: the description "clearly explains what and why", and a CodeRabbit summary should make sense).
[Nice to have] On SimengLiu-nv's thread on batch.cpp:424: the ordering is real, and it also covers the pinned mStaging buffer (StaticHostMem, freed with cuMemFreeHost). On driver 615.71.10, though, cuMemFree and cuMemFreeHost succeed from a thread with no current context. I measured this on a B200: on a fresh thread cuEventCreate returns 201, yet both frees return 0, the 64 MiB shows up again in cuMemGetInfo, and a second free returns CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE. So these members do not leak on that driver; I have not tested older drivers. Resetting them at the end of ~Batch's body, while the scope is still alive, would remove the dependence on that driver behaviour and make the new AGENTS.md wording true.
[Nice to have]upstream/release/1.3 has the same ~KvCacheManager (KVCM2_POISON_ON_EXCEPT([this]() { shutdown(); }); with no context push) and ~KvCache, and KVCM2 can be selected there through use_kv_cache_manager_v2. Does 1.3 need a cherry-pick of the ~KvCacheManager, ~KvCache and ~PlannedDropHandle parts? (1.3 has no Batch.)

…de the context scope, tighten tests
~Batch now resets its device and pinned buffers at the end of its body, inside
the CudaContextScope, instead of leaving them to the member destructors that run
after the scope has popped. The manager constructor checks for a current context
with cuCheck and rejects a null one; CudaContextScope loses current() and the
redundant mUsable field, and documents that its context must not be null. The
leak-branch log names the driver error. shutdown() documents its contract.
Comments explain the code as it stands, the rationale lives once (cudaContextScope.h
and AGENTS.md), and the module spells "finalize".
Tests: bounded join, one held stream, caches that commit pages, a device free-memory
check so a teardown that leaks instead of poisoning fails, and new cases for a
PlannedDropHandle, a Batch with its manager, and a shut-down manager. A gtest covers
the three live branches of CudaContextScope.

Description
Problem.
KVCacheManagerV2expects an explicitshutdown(). When a manager is instead freed by whoever drops the last reference (under pytest: the cyclic garbage collector, on an arbitrary thread),~KvCacheManager()runsshutdown()and~KvCache()runsclose()on a thread that may have no current CUDA context. Every driver call in the teardown (recording the finish events that fence page release, unmapping pools, unregistering host memory) then fails withCUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT(201). A destructor can only report that through the process-wide poison latch, so one leaked manager turns intoCorruptedErroron every later KVCacheManagerV2 call in the process; host tiers stop unmapping and the run ends inHostOOMError/CuOOMError(about 180 consecutive failures per pytest process inunittest/_torch/pyexecutor). Test-side fixes (#20816, #21158) close one leak path at a time; this fixes the manager.Fix.
CudaContextScope(push/pop of a CUDA context for a scope, a no-op when it is already current). The manager records the context it was constructed in and rejects construction without one.~KvCacheManager,~KvCache,~Batchand~PlannedDropHandlemake that context current for their body, so a foreign-thread finalization releases exactly whatshutdown()/close()/drop()would.~Batchresets its device and pinned buffers at the end of its body, inside the scope, instead of leaving them to the member destructors that run after it.~KvCacheManagerleaks that manager's memory instead of poisoning: nothing of the manager is touched, so no shared structure is left half-torn and the managers that follow stay usable. A deinitialized driver (process exit) logs a warning; any other error logs an error with the driver's error name.shutdown()records that it ran: a repeated call returns at once, and the destructor is a no-op after it. The poisoned path records it too, since nothing is released later either way. A manager finalized withoutshutdown()on a context-less thread logs a warning naming the missing call, so leaks stay visible without failing the process.An explicit
shutdown()/close()/drop()from the thread that has the context remains the normal path and does not push anything. Calling them from a thread without the context still fails as before: that is a caller bug the exception reports to the caller, while a destructor has nobody to report to, which is the only reason the scope lives in the destructors.Verification.

The tests are non-vacuous on base because the manager is constructed on the main thread, which has a context, and only the teardown moves to a context-less thread.

tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py::TestTeardownWithoutCudaContext(new, 6 tests): a manager dropped on a fresh thread; an open cache and its manager dropped together; a cache dropped alone; a livePlannedDropHandledropped alone; aBatchand its manager dropped together; a manager that was shut down and then dropped. Each asserts the poison latch stays clear and a fresh manager still works; the cases that release device memory also assert that the device's free memory came back, so a teardown that silently leaked would fail. The caches hold committed pages, so the teardown has pages and events to release. Pre-merge, the directory runs on A10 and B200 (l0_a10.yml,l0_b200.yml); on H100 it is post-merge, and the CPU stage deselects it (-m cpu_only).cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2CudaContextScopeTest.cpp(new gtest): the three live branches ofCudaContextScope(fresh thread, already current, foreign context restored). Runs pre-merge in the A30batch_managerunit-test group.tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py::TestPoison(unchanged): the latch andtake_poison()still behave as before.PR Checklist

The change adds
CudaContextScopeand records the manager’s construction-time CUDA context.KvCacheManageruses that context during destructor cleanup. If context activation fails, it intentionally leaks manager-owned storage and the radix tree to avoid context-dependent destruction.Batch,KvCache, andPlannedDropHandlealso scope cleanup with the manager context. Explicitshutdown()andclose()remain important resource-release paths. The change adds a publiccudaContext()accessor and makesshutdown()idempotent.QA Engineer Review
The Python test module adds six teardown tests. They cover manager, cache, planned-drop handle, and batch finalization without a current CUDA context, plus repeated shutdown and subsequent manager use. The tests check process usability and device-memory recovery where applicable. A new C++ gtest target adds three
CudaContextScopetests for pushing on a thread with no context, leaving an already-current context unchanged, and restoring a foreign context. The test files are not listed in the inspected integration test lists; no matching CI or manual-QA entry was found. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the added teardown scenarios. Completed current-head test results: not available.Per-File QA Perspective
