[None][test] Stop forcing the HF weight cache in test session reuse - #22138
tests/test_common/session_reuse.py: _spawn_fresh no longer sets TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE or TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES. It no longer passes env_overrides to the pool. It calls schedule_shadow(n_workers) without env_overlay. The _WEIGHT_CACHE_ENV constant is removed. Snapshot capture and wait_shutdown=True are unchanged.
tests/test_common/session_prefetcher.py: Docstring only. env_overlay is described as extra worker environment. The old reference to session reuse is removed. No executable change.
tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_103__tep4/test_accuracy.py: test_gsm8k_identity_vs_mtp1_and_acceptance drops its monkeypatch parameter and the TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE=0 workaround. The PR objectives describe this as removing the per-test workaround tied to #21692. The skip_not_sm103 and skip_less_device(4) decorators are unchanged.
Behavior risk: Reused pools no longer force the HF weight cache on. The PR description states that checkpoint_io_policy: auto can then select rank-striped read-ahead. The PR says the memory-admission check that rejected DeepSeek-R1 is fixed in companion PR #22139, which is not in this diff.
Explicit TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE values still reach workers through the inherited environment.
Scope: Four files under tests/, +22/−44. No source code under tensorrt_llm/ changed.
Rebase request: A reviewer asked for a rebase onto main to pick up the CI hang fix from #22101. The diff does not show whether the rebase has happened.

Test files modified:
tests/integration/defs/accuracy/modeling_v2/glm_moe_dsa/glm_5_2_nvfp4__sm_103__tep4/test_accuracy.py: test_gsm8k_identity_vs_mtp1_and_acceptance no longer disables the HF weight cache. The test is gated by skip_not_sm103 and skip_less_device(4).
tests/unittest/llmapi/test_session_reuse.py:
test_cache_miss_takes_prefetched_shadow now expects restocks[-1] == (2, None).
test_cache_miss_falls_back_to_sync_spawn_and_restocks now expects env_overrides == {}.
test_weight_cache_env_scoped_to_spawn is renamed to test_pools_keep_the_production_weight_cache_default. It now asserts env_overrides == {} and spawn_env_weight_cache is None.
test_weight_cache_env_respects_user_setting is parameterized over explicit values. It now expects each value, including "1" and "0", to reach workers.
Support files tests/test_common/session_reuse.py and tests/test_common/session_prefetcher.py changed as described above.
Test-list changes: None in this diff. Whether these tests are listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ or qa/ is not available from this diff.
Coverage gaps:
The unit tests use fake pools (_FakePool). They do not verify real worker environment inheritance or checkpoint I/O selection.
The GLM-5.2 accuracy test is not shown to run in CI.
The PR reports 86 passing tests and A/B timing results. These come from the PR description, not from checks on the current head.
Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The unit tests cover the new no-override default and explicit user values. Real-worker and performance behavior are not covered by this diff.
Per-File QA Perspective
test_accuracy.py (GLM-5.2 accuracy): The test now uses the inherited weight-cache setting. QA should confirm it passes on SM103 with the default environment.
test_session_reuse.py: Assertions changed to match the no-override default. QA should confirm the explicit "0" and "1" cases still pass.
session_reuse.py: Pools and shadows no longer receive a forced weight-cache override. QA should verify that session-reuse pools load checkpoints correctly under the default checkpoint_io_policy.
session_prefetcher.py: Docstring only. No QA impact.
Description
Test session reuse (tests/test_common/session_reuse.py) spawns every reused MPI worker pool with TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE=1. With the raw HF weight cache on, the HF weight loader rejects rank-striped read-ahead ("the raw HF weight cache is enabled"). So with the default checkpoint_io_policy: auto, nearly every in-process LLM(...) test loads natively: about 518 of the 654 L0 accuracy entries.
CI therefore rarely runs the default checkpoint I/O path.
With this change, reused pools inherit the parent environment like every other pool, so they load with the production defaults. Setting TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE explicitly still turns the cache on. The per-test workaround from #21692 is removed.
Measurement
Setup:
One GB300 tray, the arm64 wheel of post-merge build 3066 (main @ 9d32b95).
Five consecutive tests of the GB300 4-GPU accuracy stage: three DeepSeek-V3-Lite NVFP4 variants on one checkpoint (the cache's best case), Qwen3-235B NVFP4 with Eagle3, and DeepSeek-R1 NVFP4 throughput_tp4.
Each arm is one pytest session, run as CI runs it, after an untimed warm-up session.
Arm orders rotate across jobs.
Arm A is CI today; arm B is this change (TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE=0 in the parent environment, which makes session reuse skip the overlay).
With the job's page cache full of other checkpoints read from Lustre (3 jobs, as in GB300 CI):
Per five-test session, median [range]
A: today
B: this change
Test time
2029 s [1976–2057]
1636 s [1634–1662]
Model loading (rank 0 loader timer)
585 s [534–730]
338 s [337–340]
Within each job, B−A test time is −393 s [−396 to −342], about −19%.
DeepSeek-R1 accounts for most of it. Native plus the cache took 346–656 s; rank-striped read-ahead took 269–273 s.
The cache's hits did not pay off. On the DeepSeek-V3-Lite tests they took 6–23 s, against 6–11 s for rank-striped read-ahead.
When the job's page cache is near its memory limit (2 jobs), the rank-striped memory admission check rejects DeepSeek-R1, so most of the gain disappears (B−A test time −157 s [−284 to −31]). The companion PR #22139 fixes that check.
All 150 test runs of the campaign passed, with the same accuracy in every arm.
Test Coverage
tests/unittest/llmapi/test_session_reuse.py:
test_pools_keep_the_production_weight_cache_default replaces the test that asserted the overlay;
test_weight_cache_env_respects_user_setting now checks that an explicit 1 still reaches the workers;
the prefetch-shadow and sync-spawn tests assert that no overlay is passed.
tests/unittest/llmapi/test_session_prefetcher.py is unchanged; the generic env_overlay hook stays.
Both files ran in the GB300 container with build 3066's wheel: 86 passed.
The accuracy tests above ran in all arms of the A/B campaign.

Could you please rebase this branch onto the latest upstream main to include the CI hang fix in #22101 (6edbe383497a)? The current branch still contains the regression that can cause pipelines to hang for an extended period and worsen CI queueing
Session reuse spawned every reused worker pool with
TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE=1. With the cache on, `auto` checkpoint I/O falls
back from rank-striped read-ahead to native loading, so most in-process
accuracy tests never loaded the way production does. Reused pools now
inherit the parent environment like any other pool; setting the variable
explicitly still turns the cache on. Remove the GLM-5.2 test's workaround
for the same problem.
Signed-off-by: Michal Guzek <mguzek@nvidia.com>
Session reuse workers no longer receive a default HF weight-cache environment override. Tests check environment inheritance and explicit values. The GSM8K integration test no longer disables the weight cache.
Tests check that an unset cache variable produces no override and that explicit "0" and "1" values reach workers. The GSM8K test no longer sets the variable to "0".
The change makes test session reuse workers inherit the parent environment. The new tests for explicit cache values use a fake pool, so they would not catch a regression in real worker env forwarding. This is a bounded test-coverage gap and does not block merging.

Autofix · Keep fixing CodeRabbit findings and required CI, and resolving merge conflicts
Retain coverage of an explicit cache-disable value.
Replacing "0" with "1" removes the user opt-out case. A regression that converts any explicit value to "1" would pass these environment tests but ignore an explicit cache-disable setting. Parameterize this test with "0" and "1", and assert that workers receive the selected value.
As per path instructions: “Flag assertions that would pass despite a plausible regression.”

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM's tests/unittest/_torch/multi_gpu/test_allocate_output_buffer_kinds.py, _run_parallel_tuning_then_window_allreduce intentionally releases its preflight NCCL window before PARALLEL tuning. This leaves a pooled window on both ranks so rank 0's capture exercises the pooled-window rebinding path associated with the hang. Keeping the preflight buffer live changes the regression scenario and is not an equivalent setup.
Check that workers receive an explicit TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE of "0" as
well as "1", so the user opt-out keeps its coverage.

Assert the real worker environment for explicit cache values.
test_weight_cache_env_respects_user_setting checks _FakePool.spawn_env_weight_cache. The fake derives that field from os.environ itself. The test therefore passes even if MpiPoolSession._start_mpi_pool does not forward TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE to the workers.
Add a case that calls the real MpiPoolSession._start_mpi_pool with a fake MPIPoolExecutor, following the pattern in tests/unittest/llmapi/test_unified_cache.py:171-181. For each of "0" and "1", set TRTLLM_HF_WEIGHT_CACHE, then assert that the captured worker env contains that value.
