[None][fix] Fix TMEM release ordering and cluster-scope mailbox waits in GLM-5.2 TEP4 kernels - #21846
The changes update three split-K mailbox waits to use relaxed cluster-scope waits followed by acquire fences before reading peer data. The fences avoid the L1 invalidation associated with acquire-qualified try-waits. TGV GEMM also waits for phase 0 before its release arrival, then waits for phase 1 before TMEM deallocation. Grouped GEMM drains outstanding TMA-store source reads before the epilogue barrier.
These changes target synchronization ordering; they do not change arithmetic or public APIs. Runtime test and CI results are not available.
QA Engineer Review
Two source-level unit test files were added. The TGV GEMM test checks the TMEM barrier sequence, epilogue load fencing, and split-K mailbox ordering. The grouped-GEMM test checks the post-loop TMA-store drain before the epilogue barrier and TMEM deallocation. Both tests inspect Python ASTs and do not exercise GPU runtime behavior.
Neither test file was found in the searched CI or manual-QA test lists. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The tests check source ordering but do not verify synchronization behavior on hardware.

Description
Three synchronization fixes in the GLM-5.2 TEP4 CuTe DSL kernels under tensorrt_llm/_torch/_experimental/modeling_v2/models/glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_103__tep4/kernels/. None of them changes the arithmetic; each closes an ordering gap the PTX ISA does not cover.
1. TGV GEMM TMEM release can pass before the epilogue has read the accumulator (gemm/tgv_gemm_dsl.py, MMA warp tail).
tmem_alloc_result_bar is initialised with 160 arrivals (32 MMA-warp threads plus 128 epilogue threads). The MMA warp arrives once after alloc_tmem without waiting, runs the mainloop, arrives again, waits for parity 1 and then issues dealloc_tmem. The epilogue warps arrive, wait for parity 0, load the accumulator with tcgen05.ld, fence with tcgen05.wait::ld and arrive a second time. The comment at the second wait assumes phase 0 has completed by then; nothing guarantees it. If the MMA warp's second arrival lands while fewer than four epilogue warps have made their first arrival, phase 0 is still open, and mbarrier.try_wait.parity with parity 1 tests the immediately preceding phase (PTX ISA, mbarrier.test_wait/mbarrier.try_wait: "the current or the immediately preceding phase"), so it returns at once and the tcgen05.dealloc is issued before any epilogue load. A split-K rank with k_tile_count == 0 (explicitly allowed in the epilogue) runs the MMA warp's whole path back to back and removes the mainloop from the window (on the GPU tested below the epilogue's first arrivals still came first, because the TMEM allocation itself takes longer than the epilogue prologue); otherwise it needs two epilogue warps to lag behind the whole mainloop. tcgen05.dealloc does not clear TMEM, so the output is wrong only when another allocation takes the freed columns before the load, and relinquish_tmem_alloc_permit right after the allocation plus PDL exist so that the next CTA can do exactly that.
This is the protocol of FlashInfer issue flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#6786 (reproduced there with wrong results on GB300 when two epilogue warps are delayed) and the fix is the one from flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#7443: the MMA warp waits for phase 0 before its release arrival, so that arrival lands in phase 1 and the parity-1 wait cannot return before every epilogue warp has finished reading. The added wait is already satisfied in the common case (one try_wait that succeeds).
2. Split-K mailbox waits acquire at CTA scope on barriers released at cluster scope (gemm/tgv_gemm_dsl.py DSMEM reduction, gemm/moe_prefill_shared_splitk.py, gemm/_projection_tcgen05_template.py, gemm/self_attn_indexer_pre_indexer_proj_m64_n160_k6144_tf32.py).
In each of these kernels peer CTAs of the cluster write their partial accumulators into this CTA's mailbox with st.async.shared::cluster.mbarrier::complete_tx::bytes (cute.arch.store_async_dsmem or the compat48.store_async wrapper) and the owner waits on the mailbox mbarrier with cute.arch.mbarrier_wait or prims.mbarrier_try_wait_parity without a scope, which lowers to mbarrier.try_wait.parity with the defaults .acquire and .cta. The completing operation is a release at .cluster scope performed by the peer CTA's thread (PTX ISA, st.async: the complete-tx operation has .release semantics at .cluster scope). Under the memory consistency model (chapter 8, "Morally strong operations", "Release and acquire patterns") a release and an acquire synchronize only if each specifies a scope that includes the thread executing the other; a .cta-scope acquire does not include a thread of another CTA, so the mailbox reads after the wait have no happens-before edge to the peers' stores. The fence_acq_rel_cta that follows two of the waits is also CTA scope and does not widen it. (TMA loads into this CTA are different: there the async proxy acts for a thread of the waiting CTA, and the default scope suffices.) The ISA's own example pairs a remote mbarrier.arrive.release.cluster with mbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster.
Change: each of the four waits observes the barrier with a relaxed cluster-scope try_wait and then acquires with fence.acquire.sync_restrict::shared::cluster.cluster (prims.mbarrier_try_wait_parity(..., scope=prims.MBarrierScope.CLUSTER, order=prims.MemOrder.RELAXED) followed by prims.fence_sync_restrict(prims.MemOrder.ACQUIRE); tgv_gemm_dsl.py imports the same primitives for this). This is the memory model's release/acquire pattern for a cluster-scope release: the relaxed wait observes the complete-tx, and the fence, restricted to shared::cluster, supplies the acquire. The alternative, an acquire-qualified mbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster, is implemented by ptxas with an L1 invalidation (CCTL.IVALL) after every try_wait attempt, two per wait loop, while the relaxed wait plus the restricted fence adds no L1 traffic and the fence itself compiles to no SASS instruction. Only the mailbox waits change; every other wait in these kernels is on a barrier completed by this CTA's threads or its own async proxy.
3. CTA exit with the last TMA store still reading shared memory (moe/moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg1.py).
The epilogue issues one cp.async.bulk.tensor store per output subtile and only ever waits with cp_async_bulk_wait_group(epi_stages - 1, read=True) inside the subtile loop, which deliberately leaves the newest group in flight. After the persistent loop the CTA synchronizes, deallocates TMEM, signals launch_dependents and returns with that group possibly still reading sC. The ISA requires the source of an in-flight bulk store to stay valid until cp.async.bulk.wait_group.read reports completion; shared memory of an exited CTA does not. The sibling kernels (mtp_moe_gather_grouped_gemm_act_fusion.py, moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg2.py, moe_grouped_gemm_finalize_fusion.py) drain with cp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True) after their loops; this kernel now does the same from the issuing warp, before the epilogue barrier that precedes the TMEM dealloc.
Why latent today. No wrong result has been observed in production. For (1) the window needs a stalled epilogue warp plus another CTA re-allocating the freed TMEM columns in time (with an injected stall of two epilogue warps this produces wrong output on hardware, see below); for (2) payload and complete-tx travel together on the DSMEM path on current parts (FlashInfer made the same change without a reported failure); for (3) the CTA's shared memory is not reassigned before the store drains on current parts. All three are nevertheless outside what the ISA promises. Cost: one satisfied try_wait on the MMA warp per tile (1), a relaxed cluster-scope wait plus one acquire fence with no SASS cost instead of a CTA-scope acquire on one wait per split-K reduction (2), one wait_group.read 0 per CTA at exit (3).
Hardware verification
A static review found the three gaps; the TGV GEMM and the four split-K mailbox sites were then run on a B300 PCIe (compute capability 10.3, 80 SMs) with the kernels' shipped configurations and torch tensors, bf16 outputs compared with an fp32 torch reference (wrong = non-finite or |err| > 0.02 |ref| + 0.5) and bitwise across the two trees.
(1) TGV GEMM TMEM release.o_proj instance (M 8, N 6144, K 4096, cta_n 8, split_k 1, 96 CTAs) and kv_a_proj instance (N 2624, K 6144, split_k 2, cluster (1,1,2), 41 x 2 CTAs), 20 launches per row. Method: a nanosleep stall of epilogue warps 6 and 7 before their first arrive on the allocation barrier, globaltimer probes at the MMA warp's tcgen05.dealloc and at the epilogue's tcgen05.ld, and a one-warp kernel on a second stream that allocates 256 TMEM columns as soon as they are free, writes a marker and frees them.
Unpatched, no stall: 0/1920 CTAs with the dealloc before the load (the load leads by about 100 ns); 100 plain launches correct per shape.
Unpatched, 10 us stall: 19/20 launches wrong, 1522 wrong output tiles, dealloc before the epilogue load in 1824/1920 CTAs; 100 us: 19/20, 1521 tiles, 1920/1920 CTAs; N x 8 (768 CTAs): 20/20 wrong, 7386 tiles. Stall without the second kernel: 1920/1920 early deallocs and a correct output (tcgen05.dealloc does not clear TMEM). 1 us and 3 us: 0 early deallocs (the mainloop is still running). Split-K, stalling rank 1 only, 10 us / 100 us: 19/20 launches wrong, 783/820 and 820/820 rank-1 CTAs with the early dealloc.
The natural trigger (k_tile_count == 0 on rank 1, K = 128) did not fire in 14,760 rank-1 CTAs: on this GPU the TMEM allocation takes longer than the epilogue prologue, so the epilogue's first arrivals always came first (and that rank's accumulator is zero-filled, so an early dealloc there could not change the output).
Patched: 0 early deallocs (0/1920, 0/1640, 0/15360) and 0/20 wrong launches at every stall and shape; 100 plain launches per shape bitwise identical to the unpatched kernel.
(2) Mailbox waits. TGV split_k 2 (above, 100 plain launches), shared-expert up (fused swiglu, T 128, K 6144 -> 512) and down (K 512 -> 6144) projections, the q_b_proj projection cell (M 64, N 4096, K 2048, split_k 2) and the indexer pre-projection (8-CTA split-K cluster, both outputs), 200 launches per tree: 0 wrong launches, deterministic across launches, patched output bitwise identical to the unpatched one. Nothing injectable reorders payload and complete-tx on current hardware, so this part is a conformance fix with no measurable cost.
(3) The grouped GEMM TMA-store drain was not run: its entry point needs the full MoE operand set (NVFP4 weights and scales, routing tables). It compiles with the change and is verified by reading.
Test Coverage
Two CPU-only tests, added at review, scan the kernels' source and fail if any of the three orderings is changed back: tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/models/glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_103__tep4/gemm/test_modeling_v2_cute_dsl_tgv_gemm_sync.py (the MMA warp's arrive, wait(0), arrive, wait(1), dealloc sequence on the allocation barrier; the epilogue's fenced load before its release arrival; the mailbox barrier waited on only through the relaxed cluster-scope try_wait, followed by the sync_restrict acquire fence, between the scatter and the mailbox reads; the same wait, fence and ordering in the projection template, the shared split-K kernel and the indexer pre-projection) and .../moe/test_modeling_v2_cute_dsl_moe_prefill_gg1_sync.py (the issuing warp's cp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True) after the persistent loop and before the barrier that gates the TMEM deallocation). Against the pre-fix sources every test except the epilogue fence check fails.
No runtime test: (1) needs an injected stall of two epilogue warps plus a concurrent TMEM allocation to fail (confirmed on hardware above), and (2) and (3) are memory-model conformance fixes with no deterministic failure to assert on. The kernels are exercised by tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/test_glm_moe_dsa.py and tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_glm52.py (GLM-5.2 NVFP4 TEP4). Every patched kernel compiles for sm_103a with the change (TGV GEMM split_k 1 and 2, the shared-expert split-K GEMM, the projection template, the indexer pre-projection and the prefill grouped GEMM 1), and the generated code differs from the original only by the added waits and the cluster-scope qualifier.

The TGV GEMM port (tgv_gemm_dsl.py) released its accumulator TMEM through a
parity-1 wait on the allocation barrier that the MMA warp reached without
ever observing phase 0. If the MMA warp's second arrival lands before all
epilogue warps have made their first arrival, phase 0 is still open, the
parity-1 wait names the preceding phase and returns at once, and the
tcgen05.dealloc races the epilogue warps' tcgen05.ld. A split-K rank with
no K tiles makes that ordering the common case. The MMA warp now waits for
phase 0 before its release arrival, the shape FlashInfer adopted in
flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#7443 for the same protocol.
The split-K reductions in tgv_gemm_dsl.py, moe_prefill_shared_splitk.py,
_projection_tcgen05_template.py and the indexer pre-projection waited on
their DSMEM mailbox barriers with the default CTA-scope acquire while the
barriers are completed by peer CTAs' st.async complete-tx, a release at
cluster scope. Under the PTX memory consistency model those pairs do not
synchronize, so the mailbox reads after the wait were unordered against the
peers' stores. The waits now acquire at cluster scope.
moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg1.py only waited for the older TMA store groups inside
the epilogue subtile loop and left the CTA with the newest store still
reading its shared-memory source. The issuing warp now drains the group
(cp.async.bulk.wait_group.read 0) before the CTA exits.

GLM-5.2 sm_103 TEP4 kernels now use cluster-scope waits and acquire fences before reading peer mailbox data. The GEMM DSL changes TMEM barrier ordering. The MoE prefill epilogue drains pending TMA-store source reads before CTA synchronization and TMEM deallocation.
The split-K reducers use cluster-scope waits and acquire fences before reading mailbox data. The GEMM DSL uses a cluster-scope parity wait and acquire fence in its split-K epilogue. Source-level tests check synchronization scope and ordering.
mma_warp waits for phase 0 before its second barrier arrival, then waits for phase 1 before TMEM deallocation. Tests check the barrier sequence and epilogue load-fence ordering.
The MoE prefill epilogue drains pending TMA-store source reads on warp 0 before the CTA barrier and TMEM deallocation. A source-level test checks the wait placement.
The synchronization changes are mergeable with awareness that three changed mailbox waits lack direct regression checks. Add those checks to protect against a future scope regression.

Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The inspected changes act on temporary GPU memory and peer-CTA mailbox consumption within an existing kernel launch. They do not add a new caller, credential, permission, or memory-addressing path in the inspected comparison. Deployment and tenant-isolation context is insufficient to establish broader service exposure.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Peer CTAs publish mailbox payloads through asynchronous distributed-shared-memory stores. The owner polls completion and invokes the acquire fence before reduction loads. This is a memory-visibility control, not an authentication boundary; its exact external primitive semantics remain unverified.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Normal completion remains collective: all expected peer transactions must arrive before mailbox reduction proceeds. The new poll has no visible timeout or alternate recovery path, but the base also used a blocking wait. Interrupted-peer cleanup is therefore an unresolved platform contract, not an established regression introduced by this PR.

Added in 012d611 as test_modeling_v2_cute_dsl_tgv_gemm_sync.py next to the GEMM tests: a CPU-only source scan that fails if the split-K reduction waits on the mailbox barrier through anything but _mbarrier_wait_acquire_cluster, if that wait does not sit between the st.async scatter and the first mailbox read, or if the helper's inline PTX stops being mbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster.shared::cta.b64 with a memory clobber.
I did not add a repeat of the qkva case. test_modeling_v2_cute_dsl_projection.py already runs that split-K shape against its reference, and a second run of the same deterministic configuration cannot observe a scope regression: nothing on current hardware reorders the payload against the complete-tx, which is why the original PR describes this part as a conformance fix.

Added in 012d611 as test_modeling_v2_cute_dsl_moe_prefill_gg1_sync.py in the MoE test directory: it locates the epilogue's store-issuing persistent loop in moe_gather_grouped_gemm_act_fusion_kernel and requires that, before the barrier_cta_sync(epilog_sync_bar_id, ...) that gates the TMEM deallocation, the issuing warp (warp_idx == epilog_warp_id[0]) calls prims.cp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True). It also checks that the in-loop waits keep stores in flight, so the full drain cannot migrate into the loop. The pre-fix source fails it.
…ynchronization fixes
The three fixes are ordering requirements that the accuracy tests cannot
pin down: a regression shows only when a warp is delayed at the wrong
moment or when a peer CTA's payload is reordered against its barrier
completion, and neither happens deterministically on current hardware.
Two CPU-only tests scan the kernels' source instead and fail if any of
the orderings is changed back:
- tgv_gemm_dsl.py: the MMA warp's sequence on tmem_alloc_result_bar is
arrive, wait(0), arrive, wait(1), then dealloc_tmem; the epilogue's is
arrive, wait(0), tcgen05.ld, fence_view_async_tmem_load, arrive; the
split-K mailbox barrier is waited on only through the cluster-scope
helper, between the st.async scatter and the first mailbox read; and
the helper's inline PTX is mbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster
with a memory clobber.
- moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg1.py: after the epilogue's persistent loop the
issuing warp calls cp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True) before the
barrier that gates the TMEM deallocation and the CTA's exit.
Against the pre-fix sources four of the five tests fail; the epilogue
fence test, whose protocol the fix did not touch, passes.

If the drain moves to the else branch, this test still passes even though the issuing warp can reach the exit barrier with a store read outstanding. Require a direct drain statement in the issuing-warp body.

FYI, #21695 adds the same drain at this spot, and your new gg1 test also passes against its version. Whichever PR merges second can drop its copy of the kernel change.

Thanks for the pointer. Agreed: if #21695 merges first I will drop the gg1 hunk here and keep the test, which then guards its copy of the drain. The mailbox-wait changes in the other files will need a rebase against it either way.
Automatically added "ci: full pre-merge approved" because this PR has satisfied the required GitHub review approvals. Unresolved review conversations and other required checks remain independent merge requirements.
…and a cluster fence
The four mailbox waits acquired at cluster scope through an acquire-qualified
try_wait. ptxas implements that qualifier with an L1 invalidation after every
try_wait attempt, two per wait loop. A relaxed cluster-scope try_wait followed
by fence.acquire.sync_restrict::shared::cluster.cluster orders the mailbox
reads the same way under the PTX memory model: the peers' st.async complete-tx
is a cluster-scope release, the relaxed wait observes it, and the acquire fence
restricted to shared::cluster completes the synchronizes-with pattern without
touching L1. The fence itself compiles to no SASS instruction.
tgv_gemm_dsl.py drops its inline PTX helper in favour of the same native
primitives the other three kernels use. The source-level test follows.
Signed-off-by: Bastian Hagedorn <bhagedorn@nvidia.com>
The TGV source test does not inspect the reduce_full or recv_mbar waits. The GPU accuracy tests may pass despite a scope regression. Add a separate parameterized source test for the three kernels that checks the wait scope, order, and acquire fence before mailbox reads.

Update: commit 0348b6e changes the cluster-scope acquire waits this PR introduced on the four split-K mailbox barriers into a relaxed cluster-scope wait followed by fence.acquire.sync_restrict::shared::cluster.cluster, through the DSL's native primitives (mbarrier_try_wait_parity(..., scope=CLUSTER, order=RELAXED) and fence_sync_restrict(ACQUIRE)); the TGV GEMM's inline-PTX helper is gone. The TMEM phase-0 wait and the TMA-store drain are unchanged.
The ordering guarantee is the same: this is the PTX ISA's acquire pattern (memory consistency model, "Release and Acquire Patterns"), and the ISA's own example for acquiring shared memory written by a peer CTA through the generic proxy is exactly this pair. The difference is in what ptxas emits: an acquire-cluster try_wait is followed by an L1 invalidate (CCTL.IVALL) on every poll, while the relaxed wait plus the restricted fence emits none and the fence adds no instruction. A reviewer raised this on the same fix in another codebase, so all copies of the fix are being aligned.
Checked on this head: all five affected kernel configurations compile for sm_103a, and the generated IR differs from the previous head only at the four waits, each now a relaxed cluster-scope try_wait followed by the sync_restrict acquire fence. The source-scan test pins the new form.
Since the head changed, CI needs to run again, and the approval given on the previous head will need to be refreshed. Sorry for the churn.
The projection template, the shared split-K kernel and the indexer
pre-projection follow the same mailbox protocol as the TGV GEMM. A
parametrized source scan now requires their waits to be relaxed and
cluster-scoped, followed by the sync_restrict acquire fence, between the
peers' scatter and the mailbox reads.

Resolves the conflict with NVIDIA#21695 in moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg1.py: both sides add
the same cp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True) drain before the exit barrier,
so this branch takes upstream's copy and keeps only the test for it. The four
split-K mailbox waits are unchanged.

Dev Engineer Review
The changes update three split-K mailbox waits to use relaxed cluster-scope waits followed by acquire fences before reading peer data. The fences avoid the L1 invalidation associated with acquire-qualified try-waits. TGV GEMM also waits for phase 0 before its release arrival, then waits for phase 1 before TMEM deallocation. Grouped GEMM drains outstanding TMA-store source reads before the epilogue barrier.
These changes target synchronization ordering; they do not change arithmetic or public APIs. Runtime test and CI results are not available.
QA Engineer Review
Two source-level unit test files were added. The TGV GEMM test checks the TMEM barrier sequence, epilogue load fencing, and split-K mailbox ordering. The grouped-GEMM test checks the post-loop TMA-store drain before the epilogue barrier and TMEM deallocation. Both tests inspect Python ASTs and do not exercise GPU runtime behavior.
Neither test file was found in the searched CI or manual-QA test lists. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The tests check source ordering but do not verify synchronization behavior on hardware.

It was not found in the searched CI or manual-QA test lists.Description
Three synchronization fixes in the GLM-5.2 TEP4 CuTe DSL kernels under
tensorrt_llm/_torch/_experimental/modeling_v2/models/glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_103__tep4/kernels/. None of them changes the arithmetic; each closes an ordering gap the PTX ISA does not cover.1. TGV GEMM TMEM release can pass before the epilogue has read the accumulator (
gemm/tgv_gemm_dsl.py, MMA warp tail).tmem_alloc_result_baris initialised with 160 arrivals (32 MMA-warp threads plus 128 epilogue threads). The MMA warp arrives once afteralloc_tmemwithout waiting, runs the mainloop, arrives again, waits for parity 1 and then issuesdealloc_tmem. The epilogue warps arrive, wait for parity 0, load the accumulator withtcgen05.ld, fence withtcgen05.wait::ldand arrive a second time. The comment at the second wait assumes phase 0 has completed by then; nothing guarantees it. If the MMA warp's second arrival lands while fewer than four epilogue warps have made their first arrival, phase 0 is still open, andmbarrier.try_wait.paritywith parity 1 tests the immediately preceding phase (PTX ISA,mbarrier.test_wait/mbarrier.try_wait: "the current or the immediately preceding phase"), so it returns at once and thetcgen05.deallocis issued before any epilogue load. A split-K rank withk_tile_count == 0(explicitly allowed in the epilogue) runs the MMA warp's whole path back to back and removes the mainloop from the window (on the GPU tested below the epilogue's first arrivals still came first, because the TMEM allocation itself takes longer than the epilogue prologue); otherwise it needs two epilogue warps to lag behind the whole mainloop.tcgen05.deallocdoes not clear TMEM, so the output is wrong only when another allocation takes the freed columns before the load, andrelinquish_tmem_alloc_permitright after the allocation plus PDL exist so that the next CTA can do exactly that.This is the protocol of FlashInfer issue flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#6786 (reproduced there with wrong results on GB300 when two epilogue warps are delayed) and the fix is the one from flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#7443: the MMA warp waits for phase 0 before its release arrival, so that arrival lands in phase 1 and the parity-1 wait cannot return before every epilogue warp has finished reading. The added wait is already satisfied in the common case (one
try_waitthat succeeds).2. Split-K mailbox waits acquire at CTA scope on barriers released at cluster scope (
gemm/tgv_gemm_dsl.pyDSMEM reduction,gemm/moe_prefill_shared_splitk.py,gemm/_projection_tcgen05_template.py,gemm/self_attn_indexer_pre_indexer_proj_m64_n160_k6144_tf32.py).In each of these kernels peer CTAs of the cluster write their partial accumulators into this CTA's mailbox with
st.async.shared::cluster.mbarrier::complete_tx::bytes(cute.arch.store_async_dsmemor thecompat48.store_asyncwrapper) and the owner waits on the mailbox mbarrier withcute.arch.mbarrier_waitorprims.mbarrier_try_wait_paritywithout a scope, which lowers tombarrier.try_wait.paritywith the defaults.acquireand.cta. The completing operation is a release at.clusterscope performed by the peer CTA's thread (PTX ISA,st.async: the complete-tx operation has.releasesemantics at.clusterscope). Under the memory consistency model (chapter 8, "Morally strong operations", "Release and acquire patterns") a release and an acquire synchronize only if each specifies a scope that includes the thread executing the other; a.cta-scope acquire does not include a thread of another CTA, so the mailbox reads after the wait have no happens-before edge to the peers' stores. Thefence_acq_rel_ctathat follows two of the waits is also CTA scope and does not widen it. (TMA loads into this CTA are different: there the async proxy acts for a thread of the waiting CTA, and the default scope suffices.) The ISA's own example pairs a remotembarrier.arrive.release.clusterwithmbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster.Change: each of the four waits observes the barrier with a relaxed cluster-scope try_wait and then acquires with
fence.acquire.sync_restrict::shared::cluster.cluster(prims.mbarrier_try_wait_parity(..., scope=prims.MBarrierScope.CLUSTER, order=prims.MemOrder.RELAXED)followed byprims.fence_sync_restrict(prims.MemOrder.ACQUIRE);tgv_gemm_dsl.pyimports the same primitives for this). This is the memory model's release/acquire pattern for a cluster-scope release: the relaxed wait observes the complete-tx, and the fence, restricted toshared::cluster, supplies the acquire. The alternative, an acquire-qualifiedmbarrier.try_wait.parity.acquire.cluster, is implemented by ptxas with an L1 invalidation (CCTL.IVALL) after every try_wait attempt, two per wait loop, while the relaxed wait plus the restricted fence adds no L1 traffic and the fence itself compiles to no SASS instruction. Only the mailbox waits change; every other wait in these kernels is on a barrier completed by this CTA's threads or its own async proxy.3. CTA exit with the last TMA store still reading shared memory (
moe/moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg1.py).The epilogue issues one
cp.async.bulk.tensorstore per output subtile and only ever waits withcp_async_bulk_wait_group(epi_stages - 1, read=True)inside the subtile loop, which deliberately leaves the newest group in flight. After the persistent loop the CTA synchronizes, deallocates TMEM, signalslaunch_dependentsand returns with that group possibly still readingsC. The ISA requires the source of an in-flight bulk store to stay valid untilcp.async.bulk.wait_group.readreports completion; shared memory of an exited CTA does not. The sibling kernels (mtp_moe_gather_grouped_gemm_act_fusion.py,moe_prefill_nvfp4_gg2.py,moe_grouped_gemm_finalize_fusion.py) drain withcp_async_bulk_wait_group(0, read=True)after their loops; this kernel now does the same from the issuing warp, before the epilogue barrier that precedes the TMEM dealloc.Why latent today. No wrong result has been observed in production. For (1) the window needs a stalled epilogue warp plus another CTA re-allocating the freed TMEM columns in time (with an injected stall of two epilogue warps this produces wrong output on hardware, see below); for (2) payload and complete-tx travel together on the DSMEM path on current parts (FlashInfer made the same change without a reported failure); for (3) the CTA's shared memory is not reassigned before the store drains on current parts. All three are nevertheless outside what the ISA promises. Cost: one satisfied
try_waiton the MMA warp per tile (1), a relaxed cluster-scope wait plus one acquire fence with no SASS cost instead of a CTA-scope acquire on one wait per split-K reduction (2), onewait_group.read 0per CTA at exit (3).Hardware verification
A static review found the three gaps; the TGV GEMM and the four split-K mailbox sites were then run on a B300 PCIe (compute capability 10.3, 80 SMs) with the kernels' shipped configurations and torch tensors, bf16 outputs compared with an fp32 torch reference (wrong = non-finite or |err| > 0.02 |ref| + 0.5) and bitwise across the two trees.
(1) TGV GEMM TMEM release.
o_projinstance (M 8, N 6144, K 4096, cta_n 8, split_k 1, 96 CTAs) andkv_a_projinstance (N 2624, K 6144, split_k 2, cluster (1,1,2), 41 x 2 CTAs), 20 launches per row. Method: ananosleepstall of epilogue warps 6 and 7 before their first arrive on the allocation barrier,globaltimerprobes at the MMA warp'stcgen05.deallocand at the epilogue'stcgen05.ld, and a one-warp kernel on a second stream that allocates 256 TMEM columns as soon as they are free, writes a marker and frees them.tcgen05.deallocdoes not clear TMEM). 1 us and 3 us: 0 early deallocs (the mainloop is still running). Split-K, stalling rank 1 only, 10 us / 100 us: 19/20 launches wrong, 783/820 and 820/820 rank-1 CTAs with the early dealloc.k_tile_count == 0on rank 1, K = 128) did not fire in 14,760 rank-1 CTAs: on this GPU the TMEM allocation takes longer than the epilogue prologue, so the epilogue's first arrivals always came first (and that rank's accumulator is zero-filled, so an early dealloc there could not change the output).(2) Mailbox waits. TGV split_k 2 (above, 100 plain launches), shared-expert up (fused swiglu, T 128, K 6144 -> 512) and down (K 512 -> 6144) projections, the
q_b_projprojection cell (M 64, N 4096, K 2048, split_k 2) and the indexer pre-projection (8-CTA split-K cluster, both outputs), 200 launches per tree: 0 wrong launches, deterministic across launches, patched output bitwise identical to the unpatched one. Nothing injectable reorders payload and complete-tx on current hardware, so this part is a conformance fix with no measurable cost.(3) The grouped GEMM TMA-store drain was not run: its entry point needs the full MoE operand set (NVFP4 weights and scales, routing tables). It compiles with the change and is verified by reading.
Test Coverage
Two CPU-only tests, added at review, scan the kernels' source and fail if any of the three orderings is changed back:

Against the pre-fix sources every test except the epilogue fence check fails.No runtime test: (1) needs an injected stall of two epilogue warps plus a concurrent TMEM allocation to fail (confirmed on hardware above), and (2) and (3) are memory-model conformance fixes with no deterministic failure to assert on. The kernels are exercised by
tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/test_glm_moe_dsa.pyandtests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_glm52.py(GLM-5.2 NVFP4 TEP4). Every patched kernel compiles forsm_103awith the change (TGV GEMM split_k 1 and 2, the shared-expert split-K GEMM, the projection template, the indexer pre-projection and the prefill grouped GEMM 1), and the generated code differs from the original only by the added waits and the cluster-scope qualifier.PR Checklist
