[#22152][fix] Notify batched executor responses on each request event loop - #22153
A shared executor can receive requests submitted from different asyncio loops. A response batch currently puts all responses into their queues but schedules every notification on the first request's loop. A consumer on another loop can remain blocked in its selector indefinitely; asyncio debug mode reports a wrong-thread event-loop operation. The same assumption affects engine-crash error delivery.
Group queues by their actual owning loop in classic proxy, RPC proxy, direct worker, and crash-error dispatch. Keep one batched notification per loop. Handle a stopped loop per group so it cannot strand requests whose loops remain live. The existing crash-delivery gate counts only successfully scheduled groups. No public API, dependency, configuration, GPU execution, or response-content changes.
Test Coverage
test_response_notification_loops.py adds 21 CPU cases covering successful/error responses in all three delivery paths, debug and normal asyncio modes, closed-loop isolation, engine-error broadcasting, terminal-result cleanup, stopped-loop crash-delivery gate behavior, fixture cleanup on setup failure, and preservation of one notification for eight requests on the same loop. The threaded tests verify that both selectors are blocked before dispatch and use concurrent Future timeouts, which do not wake the consumer loops and accidentally conceal a missed notification.
Local results, macOS arm64 / Python 3.11.18:
Initial 19-case regression module plus existing tests against unmodified main 48acf026: 16 failed, 18 passed. All 16 failures are new regression cases; all 15 existing crash-handling tests pass.
With the fix: 36 passed (21 new + 15 existing test_event_loop_error_broadcast.py cases).
Changed-file pre-commit checks passed, strict file-list Pyrefly reported no diagnostics, and git diff --check passed.
Validation boundary: The local harness executes the actual AsyncQueue/_SyncQueue classes and dispatcher method bodies, bypassing GPU/native module initialization, logging/tracing, and unrelated response wrapping. It exercises real asyncio loops, threads and selectors, with request/transport stand-ins. It does not validate full package import, native model execution, or GPU performance. The new module uses normal package imports, is marked cpu_only, and is registered in l0_cpu.yml for matched-build upstream validation. CI route: CPU-Generic-arm-1/2 or CPU-Generic-x86-1/2, including the new module and existing event-loop-error tests.
CPU cost
A synthetic same-loop dispatch microbenchmark compares unmodified main with this patch: seven alternating rounds of 400 dispatches per revision, median thread CPU time. Source dispatcher methods and _SyncQueue run with no-op queue sinks, tracing and loop scheduling, isolating bookkeeping rather than inference or actual notification cost.
Responses/batch
Proxy main → fix
RPC main → fix
Direct worker main → fix
1
0.60 → 0.72 µs
0.63 → 0.74 µs
0.58 → 0.71 µs

128
41.22 → 44.62 µs
24.79 → 27.47 µs
50.23 → 53.71 µs
Grouping adds roughly 0.1–3.5 µs per batch in this microbenchmark. This is an explicit correctness tradeoff; no end-to-end throughput or GPU performance improvement is claimed. Same-loop batching remains intact.
Related work / checklist
Merged #19760 changes callback scheduling but preserves the single-loop assumption. Merged #16592 adds the crash-delivery gate. Open #5972 changes response polling/filtering while retaining single-loop notification; matching open #21308, #21605 and #21655 do not change these notification sites. This is independent of #22151's RPC reply-registration fix and is based directly on upstream main.

Dev Engineer Review
tensorrt_llm/executor/base_worker.py: Groups _SyncQueue objects by queue.loop in both the engine-error broadcast and handle_for_worker. Each loop gets one notify_many call. The broadcast adds a queue count to woken only after its loop's notification succeeds. That count still controls the delivery mark. The broadcast catches Exception per loop and logs an error, so one failing loop does not stop the others. handle_for_worker catches only AsyncQueue.EventLoopShutdownError per loop. Any other exception from one loop propagates and skips the remaining loops. Confirm this is intended, or broaden the handler.
tensorrt_llm/executor/proxy.py: Groups result queues by loop in dispatch_result_task and calls _SyncQueue.notify_many once per loop. The existing except AsyncQueue.EventLoopShutdownError now runs inside the per-loop loop, so a stopped loop does not block other loops. The diff does not add an import collections. Confirm that proxy.py already imports collections, because the new collections.defaultdict(list) raises NameError otherwise.
tensorrt_llm/executor/rpc_proxy_mixin.py: In handle_responses, groups queues by loop and wraps each notify_many call in except AsyncQueue.EventLoopShutdownError. It logs a warning and continues. Other exceptions propagate and can skip later loops, as in handle_for_worker.
Behavior: Same-loop queues still share one notification. Queues on different loops now wake on their own loop. This matches the linked issue. The per-batch grouping adds bookkeeping. The author reports about 0.1–3.5 µs per batch in a microbenchmark. This review does not verify that figure.
Validation: The author reports local CPU harness results only. The author reports 36 passing cases. Full package import, native model execution, and GPU behavior are not validated. Upstream matched-build CPU CI results are not available.
QA Engineer Review
Added: tests/unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py (about 224 lines). Verified test functions:
test_batched_responses_wake_all_request_loops (parametrized by success and error responses)
Modified: tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml adds unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py to the CPU CI list. This review did not inspect that file.
Coverage:
Success and error responses reach each request across the classic proxy, RPC, and worker paths, using two real asyncio loops with parked consumers.
A stopped request loop does not strand requests on live loops.
Engine-error broadcast works when a closed queue comes first.
The delivery gate stays clear when no live loop receives the error.
Shared-loop queues still use one batched notification.
No qa/ manual-QA entry is noted.
Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The tests run on a local harness. Upstream matched-build CPU CI results are not available.
Per-File QA Perspective
tensorrt_llm/executor/base_worker.py: Verify that engine-error broadcast marks the error delivered only when at least one loop is notified. Verify that requests on mixed loops all receive responses.
tensorrt_llm/executor/proxy.py: Verify classic proxy delivery when requests come from several event loops. Verify that a stopped loop does not block other loops.
tensorrt_llm/executor/rpc_proxy_mixin.py: Verify RPC delivery across loops. Verify that a shutdown loop logs a warning and does not block other loops.
tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml: Adds the new unit test file to CPU CI. Confirm the file runs in upstream CPU CI.
tests/unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py: Covers mixed-loop, stopped-loop, and shared-loop notification cases. Confirm it runs in upstream CPU CI.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Executor response paths group queues by their owning event loop and notify each group separately. Worker broadcasts handle stopped loops per group. CPU tests cover delivery across active and stopped loops, engine-error broadcasts, and batching for queues that share a loop.

Summary
Group and notify queues per event loop tensorrt_llm/executor/base_worker.py, tensorrt_llm/executor/proxy.py, tensorrt_llm/executor/rpc_proxy_mixin.py
Worker, proxy, and RPC paths group queues by their owning event loop and notify each group separately. Worker error broadcasts count queues as woken after a successful notification. Worker response handling and RPC response handling log a warning when a loop has shut down.
Test delivery across event loops tests/unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml
CPU tests cover success and error delivery across active loops, stopped-loop handling, worker engine-error broadcasts, and one notification callback for queues sharing a loop. The CPU test list includes the new test module.
The change makes batched responses wake each request on its own event loop. This fixes stranded consumers on loops other than the first request's. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed evidence.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 45338
The change improves isolation between callers without changing result ownership or access rules. Shutdown and recovery timing remains the main residual uncertainty; no new security exposure was demonstrated.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The directly affected failure domain is pending requests sharing an executor. Crash notification also influences the existing rank-crash fallback, making job-level failure containment relevant even though the changed code grants no new execution or credential authority.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Notification-loop selection comes from a locally constructed result queue, not from response payload fields. Proxy and RPC handlers resolve response client IDs against their existing result registries and discard unknown IDs. The change preserves those routing checks rather than introducing a new caller-selected destination.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Notification success means that a callback was submitted, not that a consumer acknowledged the response. That existing limitation remains in crash-delivery gating. The inspected shutdown regressions use closed loops and therefore do not establish recovery for a temporarily stopped loop with a preexisting waiter.

Explanation
The description follows the repository template closely. It has a Description section that explains the issue (batched notifications scheduled on the first request's loop), the fix (grouping by owning loop, per-group stopped-loop handling, and gate counting), and the CPU cost. It has a Test Coverage section that lists 21 new CPU cases, local results, and the validation boundary. The PR Checklist is present and checked. The description does not state whether the API-compatible label applies, though it says there are no public API changes. It also omits the template's optional summary-line wording, which is a minor gap.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #22152 is the only active target. Its coding requirements are: (1) group response queues by owning loop, (2) call notify_many once per loop, (3) isolate a stopped loop to its own group, (4) keep batching for queues on one loop, (5) count only successfully notified groups for the crash-delivery gate. The whole-PR diff (merge base 287f69a to head 4533800) implements each of these:
tensorrt_llm/executor/proxy.py (dispatch_result_task): responses collected in collections.defaultdict(list) keyed by queue.loop; one _SyncQueue.notify_many per loop inside a try/except AsyncQueue.EventLoopShutdownError.
tensorrt_llm/executor/rpc_proxy_mixin.py (handle_responses): same grouping; one notify_many per loop; per-group EventLoopShutdownError handler logs and continues.
tensorrt_llm/executor/base_worker.py, AwaitResponseHelper.handle_for_worker: same grouping and per-group shutdown handling.
base_worker.py, _broadcast_event_loop_error: same grouping; woken increments only after a successful per-group notify, so a stopped group does not feed the crash-delivery gate.
Regression tests (tests/unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py) were not re-run in this review. Their results come from the PR description, which reports 36 passing CPU cases with the fix and 16 failures on main. The linked issue is CPU-only, so no GPU requirement applies. Package-level import and native execution are not validated by the local harness; this does not affect the code-level verdict.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Every changed hunk in the whole-PR diff maps to #22152:
proxy.py, rpc_proxy_mixin.py, base_worker.py: grouping by owning loop, per-loop notification, and per-group shutdown handling in the four delivery paths named by the issue. Removal of the nonlocal declarations follows from replacing the scalar variables with one defaultdict.
base_worker.py: adds the defaultdict and AsyncQueue imports required by the change.
tests/unittest/executor/test_response_notification_loops.py and tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml: regression coverage and CPU CI registration for the issue. The test file and CI list entry were described in the PR and summary but not re-read in this review.
No public API, configuration, dependency, or unrelated refactoring appears in the inspected hunks.

Line 195 passes if the dispatcher schedules one callback with only one of the eight queues. The mock loop never runs that callback, so this test cannot detect seven stranded requests. Inspect the callback’s queue-group argument and assert that it contains all eight _SyncQueue instances. A real-loop assertion that all eight consumers finish would also establish delivery.

Test the crash-delivery gate when notification fails.
Line 1569 changes whether a stopped loop contributes to woken. The new broadcast test uses only running loops, and the existing broadcast tests do not exercise a stopped _SyncQueue. Add a broadcast case with only a stopped loop and assert that _event_loop_error_delivered remains clear. Add a mixed stopped-and-running case to assert that the running request receives its error and sets the gate. These cases would catch a regression that counts an unscheduled group and disables the rank-crash kill without waking a client. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Runtime part LGTM. I reran the 21 notification tests using the extracted queue classes and dispatcher methods with real asyncio loops/threads: all pass at this head, while current main reproduces the cross-loop failures. Same-loop batching and closed-loop isolation are preserved. Full native-package execution was not tested.

Description
Fixes #22152.
A shared executor can receive requests submitted from different asyncio loops. A response batch currently puts all responses into their queues but schedules every notification on the first request's loop. A consumer on another loop can remain blocked in its selector indefinitely; asyncio debug mode reports a wrong-thread event-loop operation. The same assumption affects engine-crash error delivery.
Group queues by their actual owning loop in classic proxy, RPC proxy, direct worker, and crash-error dispatch. Keep one batched notification per loop. Handle a stopped loop per group so it cannot strand requests whose loops remain live. The existing crash-delivery gate counts only successfully scheduled groups. No public API, dependency, configuration, GPU execution, or response-content changes.
