Description

Engine-side support for the Kimi K3 SM107 modeling_v2 targets (#21996). No model code. Stacked on #21972; this PR is the 18 commits after it.

New behavior is opt-in: a model declares it through RuntimeHooks, a cache manager or drafter declares it, or a router argument enables it. Defaults stay as today except for the two fixes and one INFO counter line per minute.

Fixes

Model-declared hooks (RuntimeHooks): torch_mem_safety_margin, kv_cache_manager_cls, kv_balanced_admission_planner, exact_context_demotion, and hybrid_cache (eviction priority for short prompts' recurrent-state pages, one-kernel state-index upload).

KV cache manager V2 / hybrid manager

Disaggregated serving, sampling, routing

  • Helix generation polls idle transfer status with one int64 all-gather.
  • The spec sampler's one-launch slot-store scatter also runs on SM 10.7.
  • ConversationRouter(new_conversation_follow="always") follows any prefix match and balances by uncached-token backlog; the default "specific" keeps today's rule.

Test Coverage

New or extended tests in tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/, _torch/pyexecutor/ (with kv_cache/), disaggregated/, _torch/kernels/test_spec_step_copies.py and llmapi/test_disagg_worker_role.py (l0_cpu), plus a C++ gtest for pending SSM pages. Existing test-list entries reach all of them.

Verification

PR Checklist

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

Scope: The change adds opt-in runtime support for Kimi K3 and DSpark/DFlash drafter KV caches. It also includes two fixes: MLA context attention over a cached prefix, and forwarding the disaggregated server role to MPI workers. Source inspection was not performed for this review. Findings below come from the change summary and must be checked against the diff.

Material findings and risks:

  • Public API rename. _dspark_shift_label becomes shift_label in modeling_dspark.py, and dspark.py reads the new name. Any external code that reads or sets the private attribute breaks. Confirm no other callers remain.
  • Default path in launcher. commands/serve.py now resolves unset or "auto" shared-draft-KV to "auto" or "0". The objectives say defaults are unchanged. Confirm that the resolved values match prior behavior for existing single-server or non-draft launches.
  • Peer compatibility rules changed. peer.py removes the total-TP and attention-DP checks from _check_peer_compatible. It adds a per-DP attention TP check, and that check is skipped for MLA peers. Confirm that the removed checks are covered elsewhere.
  • FallbackFmha slicing. fallback.py now slices K and V to max(num_ctx_tokens, host_total_kv_lens[0]) rows for every MLA context call with K present. This affects all MLA context attention, not only the new opt-in path. Verify the non-cached-prefix case.
  • FP8 MLA input contract. attentionOp.cpp, mlaKernels.cu, and mlaKernels.h add caller-quantized FP8 K/V and Q paths. They also add a zero-token quantization launch to write BMM scales. The FP8 Q scale semantics differ between fused and non-sparse paths. Verify the scale contract in interface.py against the kernel.
  • Kernel grid change. kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu splits block-offset copies across a z-dimension grid. It rejects chunk counts above 65,535. Verify indexing for long rows.
  • Pinned-copy lifetime. copy_small_pinned_pair runs asynchronously. Callers must keep source buffers alive until the kernel completes. Check call sites.
  • Pending SSM snapshot state. kvCache.cpp and kvCache.h add pending snapshot ownership and a commit default-argument change. Check that all callers and the nanobind binding agree on the new signature.
  • Scheduler behavior. scheduler_v2.py adds ScheduleAction.DEFER and exact context demotion. Exact demotion is opt-in. Check starvation and retry paths.
  • Router default. router.py keeps new_conversation_follow="specific" as default. "always" changes load accounting for coordinator routing keys and reservations.
  • Memory margin. _util.py changes the PyTorch memory-fraction adjustment to a 1 GiB default margin, capped by free memory. This is a default change for all PyTorch-backend runs. The objectives say defaults are unchanged. Verify that the 1 GiB default matches prior behavior.
  • Wire compatibility. RankInfo.draft_kv_dtype is omitted when unset, which preserves the prior payload for peers without shared draft layers.
  • Idle probe. transceiver.py adds an int64 allgather probe on non-blocking GEN polls. Verify that all ranks take the same branch.

Author-reported results (not verified in this review): The author reports that the listed tests pass on GB300 (SM103). Three test_router.py cases require LLM_MODELS_ROOT and were not reported as passing. Completed CI results for the current head were not available.

QA Engineer Review

Test files and test-list files changed: 22 test-code files, plus l0_h100.yml and l0_cpu.yml.

Test additions and modifications (discoverable from the summary):

  • New GPU tests: test_mla_fp8_context_inputs.py (three tests), test_kv_cache_manager_v2_device_page_table.py, test_context_kv_only_drafter_reserve.py, test_step_upload_kernels.py, test_ssm_pending_snapshot.py.
  • New CPU-only tests: test_hybrid_unified_draft_kv.py, test_hybrid_snapshot_points.py, test_kv_cache_manager_cls_hook.py, test_torch_mem_fraction.py, test_transceiver_helix_idle_probe.py, test_disagg_worker_role.py, test_adp_router.py (planner injection).
  • Extended: test_dflash_unified_kv_gate.py, test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py, test_kvcm2_integration.py, test_mamba_cache_manager.py, test_peer.py, test_rank_info.py, test_disagg_utils.py, test_router.py, test_cache_transceiver_single_process.py, test_spec_step_copies.py, test_modeling_v2_thop_attention.py.
  • Renamed attribute only: test_kimi_k3_draft_block_rows.py, test_dflash_ctx_block_tables.py, test_dspark_worker.py, test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py.
  • C++ tests: kvCacheManagerV2StatsTest.cpp (two pending-snapshot tests).

Test-list entries:

  • l0_h100.yml adds test_cache_transceiver_with_draft_layers and test_cache_transceiver_helix_cp_with_draft_layers.
  • l0_cpu.yml adds unittest/llmapi/test_disagg_worker_role.py.
  • Whether the other new or modified test files appear in test-db/ or qa/ lists is not established from the summary.

Coverage highlights: FP8 MLA context numerics and scale contract, pending SSM snapshot lifecycle, draft-layer transfer for MLA with helix CP, peer draft-KV dtype and head-count checks, router "always" mode, launcher shared-draft defaults, and the 1 GiB memory margin.

Gaps and risks:

  • The three test_router.py cases need LLM_MODELS_ROOT.
  • Many new GPU tests need CUDA or SM-specific hardware (for example, SM 107 for slot-scatter).
  • The copy_small_pinned_pair and block-offset kernel tests cover listed sizes only.
  • Default-path regressions (memory margin, launcher resolution) need explicit checks.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Confirm test-list membership for the new files and run the GPU-gated tests on target SMs.

Walkthrough

This PR adds shared draft-KV support, caller-quantized FP8 MLA context inputs, and pending SSM snapshots. It also changes hybrid cache management, scheduling, runtime hooks, conversation routing, disaggregation polling, and kernel support.

Changes

Shared draft KV

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sharing eligibility and draft specifications
tensorrt_llm/commands/serve.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/_util.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/*, docs/source/features/speculative-decoding.md, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/*
Launcher and executor checks determine whether draft KV can be shared, build draft-layer specifications, and account for declared draft dtypes. DFlash and DSpark use shift_label and declare page-reading behavior.
Appended draft-layer cache storage
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/fp4_mla/cache_manager.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/*, tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/cache_manager.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_hybrid_unified_draft_kv.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py
Cache managers include appended draft layers in configuration, sizing, pool allocation, page tables, and cache views. Hybrid managers calculate draft capacity and pool shares.
Disaggregated draft metadata and validation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/*, tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/*, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_cache_transceiver_single_process.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_h100.yml
Rank metadata carries shared draft-layer count and dtype. Peer registration validates draft layouts, and transfer tests include appended draft layers.

FP8 MLA context inputs

Layer / File(s) Summary
FP8 context contract and execution
cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/mlaKernels.*, cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/attentionOp.cpp, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/trtllm.py, tests/unittest/_torch/attention/test_mla_fp8_context_inputs.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/attention/test_modeling_v2_thop_attention.py
MLA context accepts caller-quantized FP8 K/V and optional Q. Validation checks tensor shapes, dtypes, and scales; FMHA selects the corresponding input buffers. References and tests model cache-write-grid quantization and non-unit scales.
Cached-prefix K/V slicing
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/fmha/*, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/interface.py
Fallback and phased MLA paths include cached-prefix rows in context K/V inputs. The attention interface documents FP8 Q scale handling.

Pending SSM snapshots

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot-slot API and commit path
cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/kvCache.*, cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2.cpp, tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/__init__.pyi
The cache reserves, exposes, and releases a pending SSM snapshot slot. Commits can move the pending page into the tree.
Pending-slot lifecycle tests
cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2StatsTest.cpp, tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_ssm_pending_snapshot.py
Tests cover committed snapshots, reuse, release paths, pool exhaustion, and invalid operations.

Hybrid cache and snapshot scheduling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hybrid cache policy and page priorities
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/mamba_cache_manager/mamba_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/runtime_hooks.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/step_upload_kernels.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_step_upload_kernels.py
Hybrid cache policy supports recurrent-page priorities and paired state-index uploads. Cache managers track snapshot counters and combine custom priorities with SWA endpoint priorities.
Snapshot-aware context chunking
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_hybrid_snapshot_points.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py
Forced context chunks account for snapshot alignment and pass points. Tests cover aligned, capped, and branch-point chunk boundaries.

Exact context demotion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Long-context classification and deferral
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py
The scheduler can refine uncached-token estimates using prefix-cache probes. It defers requests when preparation reveals a long remainder and retries them during the same scheduling pass.

Executor runtime hooks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime hook settings and executor wiring
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/runtime_hooks.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/_util.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor_creator.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_kv_cache_manager_cls_hook.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_torch_mem_fraction.py
Runtime hooks configure cache-manager classes and memory margins. Executor setup validates manager subclasses and applies the selected memory margin.
Custom KV-balanced admission
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/adp_router.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_adp_router.py
ADP routing can use an injected planner for candidate-window sizing and admission placement.

Conversation routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conversation matching and backlog accounting
tensorrt_llm/serve/router.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_router.py
ConversationRouter adds an always-follow mode and estimates routing load from prompt-token growth. The coordinator records and removes the corresponding load.

Helix generation idle probe and worker role forwarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation transfer-status polling
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_transceiver_helix_idle_probe.py
Eligible Helix TP-by-CP groups probe receive-session counts during non-blocking polls and return an empty status when all ranks are idle.
Worker role environment overrides
tensorrt_llm/commands/serve.py, tests/unittest/llmapi/test_disagg_worker_role.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml
Server launch setup forwards the selected role through worker environment overrides. Tests cover context and generation roles and launches without a role.

Chunked page-offset copying and speculative-step support

Layer / File(s) Summary
CTA chunking and row-offset validation
cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_manager_v2_device_page_table.py
The kernel assigns row chunks to separate CTAs. Tests cover long rows, invalid pages, and inactive output rows.
Scatter and gather capability gates
tensorrt_llm/_torch/kernels/spec_step_copies/op.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/spec_sampler_base.py, tests/unittest/_torch/kernels/test_spec_step_copies.py
Slot scatter uses a support gate that includes the SM 107 CuTe DSL path. Gather keeps its separate support gate.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 58346

Several previously raised concerns about the cache, scheduler, router, FP8 attention paths and test coverage are still open. They should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 58346

The change expands how requests share state and how workers coordinate. Explicit enablement and compatibility checks constrain exposure. No introduced security weakness was established in the inspected paths, but failure-recovery and deployment coverage remain incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected changes directly affect GPU-resident inference state, reusable request-prefix snapshots, and draft state transferred between participating workers. Corruption at these ownership boundaries could affect later reuse or receiving requests. Cross-tenant, fleet-wide, credential, or infrastructure-authority exposure was not established by the available evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Worker compatibility checks reject protocol, cache-layout, draft-dtype, and relevant sharding mismatches before receiver registration proceeds. Native attention checks bound the newly accepted FP8 tensor extents. These are compatibility and memory-contract controls, not evidence of peer authentication or tenant isolation.

Major · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Return draft ownership for appended layers in the legacy partition branch.

The layer_specs is None branch returns TARGET for every local layer that is inside num_kv_heads_per_layer. Appended draft layers can fall into that range. get_layer_owner reports those layers as DRAFT, so this method gives the same layer a different owner. The docstring requires owners to stay in separate transfer views. When a target and a draft buffer share a pool and have the same head count, they can receive the same partition key.

Suggested fix

             local_layer_id = int(layer_id)
             if hasattr(self, "_layer_attn_to_layer_id") or not (
                 0 <= local_layer_id < len(self.num_kv_heads_per_layer)
             ):
                 return None
-            return KVCacheLayerOwner.TARGET.value, self.num_kv_heads_per_layer[local_layer_id]
+            owner = (
+                KVCacheLayerOwner.DRAFT
+                if local_layer_id in self._appended_draft_layer_specs
+                else KVCacheLayerOwner.TARGET
+            )
+            return owner.value, self.num_kv_heads_per_layer[local_layer_id]

Add a partition test for an appended draft layer on a manager with layer_specs is None. The test should assert that the owner is DRAFT and that the layer does not share a partition with a target layer of the same head count.

Require CUDA tensors on the query device for FP8 MLA context K/V and quant Q buffers.

The FP8 K/V branch passes k and v to FMHA as raw pointers from getK<T>() and getV<T>(). It checks dtype, layout, and row count, but not device. The optional FP8 quant_q_buffer also reaches FMHA through getQuantQBuffer() without a device check. A CPU or wrong-device tensor can pass these checks. The device kernel can then fault on that address, and the CUDA error can leave the context unusable for later requests.

Add the device checks to the FP8 branch:

Avoid allocating unused K/V staging buffers for FP8 input.

This branch sends caller K/V buffers directly to FMHA. contextWorkspaceLayout still allocates both FP8 staging buffers for every attended KV token, and the checks at Lines 3519-3522 still require them. With 32 heads and 192/128 K/V dimensions, a 100,000-token context retains about 1 GB of unused GPU workspace. Size and require those buffers only when the input needs quantization.

Leave capacity for PyTorch allocations when less than 1 GiB is free.

If mem_free is at most 1 GiB, safety_margin consumes all of it and mem_torch_max equals mem_reserved. If the allocator has no reusable reserved blocks, its next allocation cannot grow the reservation, although GPU memory remains free. The previous 32 MiB margin did not exhaust the free amount in this case. Bound the margin so the process retains capacity for runtime PyTorch allocations.

Require draft-layer data before comparing transferred bytes.

Passing the draft layers to these verifiers does not guarantee that they are checked. verify_all_requests continues when either side has no block data. The Helix verifier continues when the context side has no block data. A regression that leaves a draft layer without pages can therefore pass these new tests. For each nonempty prompt, assert that the expected draft-layer blocks exist before comparing their contents. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

PhasedFmha.context_params sliced every dense k / v pass-through down to
the call's new context rows. A separate-Q/K/V MLA context call passes
a dense k / v with one row per KV token of every request, cached rows
included, which the FP8 context FMHA reads per request by cu_kv_seqlens;
slicing such a tensor hands the kernel the caller's oldest rows as the new
ones and leaves it reading past the end. A dense k / v whose rows cover
the context batch's total KV length now reaches the kernel whole; every
other dense input keeps the shrinking.

…iprocal

The contract keeps x * kv_scale_orig_quant in the fp8 k / v / q inputs, while
static_quantize_e4m3_per_tensor divides by its scale argument, so the helper
must pass the reciprocal: kv_scale_quant_orig. At the tests' non-unit scale
(kv_cache_scaling_factor = 2.0) it was passing kv_scale_orig_quant = 0.5 and
handing the FMHA x / 0.5 = 2x instead of x * 0.5 -- 4x the contracted data --
so the direct-input runs diverged from both the op-quantized branch and the
unquantized reference (relative_error 36.48 after softmax concentration).
Unit-scale runs are unaffected (both scales are 1.0), which is how it slipped
past the earlier B200 verification. quant_scale_qkv keeps kv_scale_orig_quant:
the FMHA dequantizes with the kv cache scale and treats it only as the
caller-quantization invariant.

Major · Use token weights for anonymous direct requests in "always" mode. · router.py:1877

tensorrt_llm/serve/router.py:1877
Major · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Use token weights for anonymous direct requests in "always" mode.

For text requests without token IDs, this unchanged path derives load from code-point hash blocks. The new explicit-conversation path instead divides text length by CHAR_PER_TOKEN. A long anonymous text prompt therefore receives approximately five times the weight of an equally long explicit prompt. Mixed traffic no longer uses a common load unit and can leave one server underused.

Apply _request_tokens() to anonymous direct requests when _follow_every_match is enabled. Keep block hashes for matching only. Add a mixed anonymous/explicit text-request case in tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_router.py that checks comparable loads, placement, and load removal.

Cover known-conversation growth through the coordinator.

Both coordinator requests here use new conversation IDs. They do not exercise the known-conversation path with the new token-count routing key. Charging the whole prompt instead of its growth on that path could pass these tests, even though the direct-routing test checks growth correctly.

Extend this test with another request for t::sa:a whose prompt grows from 296 to 396 tokens. Submit router.routing_key(request) without a content retry. Assert that it selects server_a, adds only 100 tokens, and removes that weight on completion.

As per path instructions, “Prefer behavior and contract coverage over raw line coverage.”

Test successive uploads before synchronization.

This synchronization completes the first upload before the test changes either host buffer. The test therefore does not exercise the pending-upload case documented by _upload_state_indices_and_dummy_mask: admission and scheduling can refill the host buffers before the first kernel reads them.

Add a case that keeps the first upload pending, changes both host buffers, and submits a second upload. Capture each result with stream-ordered device copies before synchronizing. Assert that each result contains its submitted values. This can detect reused staging storage or premature snapshot release.

Exercise the appended draft pool with an allocated manager.

The new draft pool gets its own pointer and page-index scale. The supplied tests check IDs and layout decisions with stand-ins; the inspected FP4+FP8 manager fixture has no appended draft layer. They could pass while a real draft block table addresses the wrong pool. Add a focused CUDA case in tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_mamba_cache_manager.py. Allocate FP4, FP8-fallback, HP, and draft groups. Assert that a draft layer’s copied page index addresses its draft buffer after allocation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Count the target pool groups in the hybrid profiling estimate.

For a hybrid manager with draft layers, the estimate adds only the draft pool groups. The target count comes from _get_num_pool_groups_for_estimation. For a config without layer_types or a max_attention_window, that function returns 1 at line 982. It does not account for the FP8-fallback and HP-ring lifecycles of a Kimi FP4 layout, which the hybrid fixtures show as separate target groups.

The scaled block budget at line 1840 can then be smaller than the number of pool groups requires. The source notes that underprovisioned temporary estimation can make warmup hang or fail. Derive the target count from the same layout that KVCacheManagerV2 uses to create its pools, so the estimate and the dummy allocation agree.

Apply the aging limit to post-prepare demotion.

With FCFS, a 1,024-token budget, and context_demote_max_iters=2, consider an oldest request whose estimate is 256 but whose prepared remainder is 10,000. This branch defers it and releases its cache. If later short requests consume the budget, it cannot run on retry. On the next iteration, its unchanged estimate still classifies it as short. _defer_long_context therefore bypasses the aging check, even after _ctx_demote_skips reaches the limit. Continuous short arrivals can starve the request indefinitely. The token_cap guard protects only the separate starved pass. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve the exact remainder before releasing admission, or enforce the aging limit in this branch. Add a regression in tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py that replenishes short requests each iteration and verifies that the underestimated request runs after the configured bound.

Restore the token baseline when a request fails.

If a first request reserves 30,000 tokens and fails before execution, finish_request_by_id(..., success=False) removes its load but leaves _conv_num_tokens at 30,000. A retry for the same conversation then reserves only _tokens_per_block, although the full prompt remains uncached. Direct routing has the same failure path.

Track the baseline with request success, or invalidate it after failure without overwriting a newer request's baseline. Add a failed-first-request retry case for both routing paths in tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_router.py.

Exercise an unaligned snapshot point.

Every supplied points value is already divisible by 64. This assertion therefore passes without checking the chunk selected by the scheduler. Add a point such as 193 with a budget that could cross it. Assert that the selected chunk stops before that point, unless an upstream normalization contract makes the point aligned first. As per path instructions, “Flag assertions that would pass despite a plausible regression.”

Review comment at @tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py at line 3338:
Update the scheduler test around the chunk-boundary assertion to include an unaligned snapshot point such as 193 and a budget that could cross it. Verify the selected chunk stops before that point, unless the established upstream normalization contract aligns snapshot points first; keep the assertion meaningful against a regression.

Since 46d4e94 the context FMHA quantizes its bf16 operand copies at the
cache write scale - e4m3(x * kv_scale_orig_quant) - and folds the two dequant
factors into the bmm scales, so the context phase is true math at every kv
scale. The two h128 scale-sweep tests still asserted the pre-46d4e94654
contract (unit-grid copies, "correct at s = 1.0 alone") and failed on the
non-unit members (B300: 1.95x vs the 10x far gate at s = 1.5; a 99.7%
mismatch under the unit-grid peaked expectation).

- reference helpers gain the runtime grid as an explicit switch
  (e4m3_cache_grid / e4m3_grid_scale), defaulting to the old unit grid;
- both tests now assert the runtime reference inside the fp8 band at every s,
  keep the unit-grid models as band gates (told apart only off the powers
  of two, where the grid shift alone lands 1.95x / 2.15x outside; at
  s = 2.0 e4m3(x/s) * s retraces e4m3(x) bitwise), and demote the
  pre-46d4e94654 unit-grid-plus-factors model to the rejected one
  (9.1x-12.0x outside at both non-unit scales);
- the peaked readout expects s * e4m3(V[0] / s) - the op's own fp32
  arithmetic, which is e4m3(V[0]) * s at the production s = 1.0;
- stale docstrings (module header, path helpers, both tests) now state the
  post-46d4e94654 semantics with the observed margins.

Verified on B200 (umbriel-027): the two tests, the full h128 file (151
passed) and tests/_torch/attention/test_mla_fp8_context_inputs.py (5 passed).

launch_server publishes TRTLLM_DISAGG_ROLE in its own environment, but MPI
workers started before it (trtllm-llmapi-launch) never observe that
variable, so role-dependent cache layouts (KDA context-only state, FP4 MLA
single-copy cache) silently fall back to the full layout. Forward the role
through llm_args.env_overrides, which worker_main applies on every rank.
Launches without an explicit server role are unchanged.

The test runs in the l0_cpu list.

_adjust_torch_mem_fraction caps PyTorch at the memory free at setup plus
what it has reserved, minus a margin for driver allocations made after
setup (streams, events and copy launches of the KV cache manager and
transfer agents, CUDA IPC mappings of peer buffers, kernel attribute and
module loads). The margin is min(1 GiB, free) for every model.

Kimi K3 DWDP context workers exhaust the device in those allocations 30-40
minutes into long runs with less than 4 GiB (UCX cuMemSetAccess, the KV
cache manager V2's resize, the expandable-segment "!handles_.at(i)"
assert). Let a model declare its margin as
RuntimeHooks.torch_mem_safety_margin on its registered class; the
executor creator passes it to _adjust_torch_mem_fraction, which still
clamps it to the free memory. A model that declares nothing keeps 1 GiB.
The KV cache budget does not change.

Pending SSM snapshot pages let a forward step write the recurrent state at
a commit point inside the step into a reserved GPU page, which the next
commit moves into the radix tree. Without this, the only state a commit
can snapshot is the live SSM page at the end of the step. KDA mid-chunk
snapshots use this API:

- KvCache::acquireSsmSnapshotSlot() / acquire_ssm_snapshot_slot(): one hot
  slot of the shared SSM life cycle's pool group, allocated through
  newSlotsForPoolGroup with eviction and the migration/drop recorders that
  resume() uses. Its ready event is waited on the cache stream, and it is
  locked as an UncommittedPage at kBadBlockOrdinal. The call returns the
  slot id, or None when committing has stopped or no page is free even
  after eviction. It raises LogicError unless the manager has exactly one
  shared (non-private) SSM life cycle: with several, the others would
  snapshot the live state at the end of the step, a different point.
- pending_ssm_snapshot_slot and release_ssm_snapshot_slot().
- commit(tokens, ssm_from_pending=True): the commit's SSM snapshot, on a
  full or a partial block, moves the pending page into the tree block
  (unlock, convertToCommitted, scheduleForEviction). If the commit does
  not record that snapshot (block already covered, committing stopped, no
  snapshot point, an exception), the pending page is released. Combining
  it with is_end, or calling it with no pending page, raises LogicError.
- suspend(), stopCommitting(), _onStopCommitting() and close() also
  release the pending page. _checkSanity() checks that it is a locked hot
  page of a shared SSM life cycle, distinct from the live ones.

Nothing calls the API unless a model opts into mid-chunk snapshots, so no
existing behaviour changes. KvCache gains a member, so everything compiled
against kvCache.h must be rebuilt.

Tests: tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_ssm_pending_snapshot.py
on the C++ backend, and two ReplayCacheTest gtests
(PendingSsmSnapshotMovesIntoTreeWithCachePriority,
PendingSsmSnapshotReleasePaths).

…declared by the cache manager

A context request's recurrent state reaches the radix tree only at the end
of a context step, so every snapshot point (the last one before the prompt
end, a branch point, a point a waiting request asked for) splits the
context into an extra step. A recurrent prefill that stores the state at an
aligned point inside the step removes those splits.

The scheduler side is generic: a hybrid cache manager that can take such a
snapshot marks a context request with py_midchunk_snapshot_alignment (and
py_midchunk_pass_point for one earlier point). _get_forced_context_chunk_size
then lets the last snapshot point fall inside the final chunk, and lets a
step pass the next other point, ending at the following point at the latest
(one snapshot per step). Requests without the marks chunk as before.

The KV cache creator passes the model's RuntimeHooks.hybrid_cache
(HybridCachePolicy) to MambaHybridCacheManagerV2 (hybrid_cache_policy).
try_commit_blocks counts its branch snapshots through _count_snapshot_commit,
which a manager's own snapshot commits can use too.

…ompts' recurrent pages (model-declared)

A recurrent-state snapshot is reusable only at its exact token boundary
and takes a whole state slot whatever the prompt length, while a short
prompt is cheap to recompute. Under pressure on the recurrent-state pool,
LRU then evicts long prompts' snapshots to keep short ones.

A model declares a prompt length as
RuntimeHooks.hybrid_cache.low_priority_snapshot_prompt_len (0 = off, every
model today). With block reuse on, MambaHybridCacheManagerV2 then creates
the cache of a context request whose prompt is shorter than that with a
page priority callback that puts recurrent-state pages (live state and
snapshots) at the lowest eviction priority, PAGE_PRIORITY_MIN (0);
attention pages keep the default (35). The manager logs the length once.

KVCacheManagerV2 gains a _context_priority_callback(req) hook (None in
the base class), passed by prepare_context to _create_kv_cache's new
custom_priority_callback. Where the SWA endpoint priorities apply, they
keep deciding the attention pages and the caller's callback decides the
rest. Pending SSM snapshot pages take the cache's priority when they
move into the tree (convertToCommitted re-evaluates the callback).

Tests: test_kvcm2_integration.py (the callback reaches the backend, merged
with the SWA endpoint priorities, never for dummies; the base hook is
None); test_mamba_cache_manager.py (life cycle mapping, callback
selection, the callback reaching the C++ backend, and the eviction order
of short- and long-prompt snapshots on a real manager).

…d by the model

Long-prefill demotion (TLLM_V2_CTX_DEMOTE_UNCACHED_TOKENS) moves a context
request whose router estimate of uncached prefill exceeds a threshold to the
tail of each iteration's context order. The estimate only knows the
conversation's previous prompt length on this rank, so a forked sub-agent or
a new conversation over a cached shared prefix is demoted although little is
left to compute, and a continuing turn whose prefix was evicted is kept in
front and takes the whole budget for every chunk.

A model declares RuntimeHooks.exact_context_demotion (off for every model
today). With demotion on, the scheduler then classifies by the prefix
cache: an estimate above the threshold is checked once against the radix
tree (probe_context_reuse, read-only, at most one walk per request), a
request whose cache a pool already holds is judged by its exact
remainder, and a request ordered as short whose first prepare shows a
long remainder returns ScheduleAction.DEFER and is retried after the rest
of the pass (release_context_admission frees its first-chunk claim, so
the retry matches again; it counts as demoted for aging). A request that
waits for a prefix another request prefills (PrefixWaitPlanner) is probed
again once it stops waiting. A starved request keeps its place.

The thresholds stay the TLLM_V2_CTX_DEMOTE_UNCACHED_TOKENS / _MAX_ITERS
environment variables; KVCacheV2Scheduler also takes them as constructor
arguments, which win over the environment.

Tests: TestLongContextDemotionExact in test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py.

With block reuse on, MambaHybridCacheManagerV2 logs its recurrent snapshot
counters at INFO at most once a minute, from the context admission path, so
a deployment shows whether branch, in-flight prefix and mid-chunk snapshots
are being taken: the existing branch snapshot counters and pruned-token
attribution, and in-flight prefix sharing (scheduler passes a request waited
for a prefix, counted by KVCacheManagerV2.count_prefix_waits after
PrefixWaitPlanner.plan; distinct snapshot points asked of prefix owners; and
those committed).

Logging only; scheduling and caching are unchanged.

The engine side of drafter declarations for a standalone drafter whose
layers share the target's KV cache manager:

- draft_kv_dtype: a drafter that declares torch.float8_e4m3fn gets FP8
  draft layers (budget split, layer specs and allocation all resolve
  through _get_draft_kv_model_config). Without the declaration the pool
  keeps the drafter's weights dtype, as before. Other dtypes are rejected.
- context_kv_only: a drafter that only computes the prompt's draft KV (on
  a context server) has (1 - free_gpu_memory_fraction) of its resident
  CUDA tensors, minus storage the target also holds, taken from the KV
  budget, so it costs the PyTorch headroom nothing.
- RankInfo carries the draft layers' KV dtype, and the peer registrar
  rejects peers whose draft dtypes differ. The field is left off the wire
  without shared draft layers. KVCacheManagerV2.get_layer_dtype reports
  the dtype of appended draft layers.

…lows every match, with backlog-token load

A new router argument, new_conversation_follow, chooses how a new
conversation_id whose first request shares at least
new_conversation_min_match_blocks blocks with an earlier conversation is
placed:

- "specific" (default): as before, it follows only a prefix specific to a
  few conversations; a shared preamble spreads conversations over servers.
- "always": it always joins the matching conversation's server, and a
  server's load is its backlog of estimated uncached prompt tokens: a known
  conversation adds the growth of its prompt since its previous request (at
  least one block), a followed new conversation its prompt past the matched
  prefix, any other request its whole prompt. The coordinator routing key
  then carries the token estimate ({conversation_id, num_tokens}) and
  /finish subtracts the same amount.

With matching on, every 256 new conversations the router logs at INFO how
many followed a match.

… allgather

Every executor iteration of a disaggregated generation worker polls the
transfer status, which runs two pickled allgathers even when nothing is
being received. The idle-poll skip does not apply under helix context
parallelism, so a helix GEN paid them every iteration.

With CP > 1, no attention DP, one PP stage and a world equal to the
TP x CP group, the non-blocking poll now first allgathers the per-rank
receive-session count as one fixed-size int64 vector; when every count
is zero the full consensus would gather empty lists and return three
empty lists with no side effects, so it is skipped. The decision comes
from the collective, so every rank takes the same branch. Blocking and
at-least-N polls are unchanged.

…ed by the model

MambaHybridCacheManagerV2._setup_state_indices uploads the recurrent
state indices and the dummy-request mask through two DeviceCopyBuffers,
each a copy-engine copy when its values changed. The copy-engine
hand-offs delay the execution stream in front of the next step's
inputs.

A model declares HybridCachePolicy.state_index_upload_kernel (off for
every model today). Then, when either buffer changed, one SM kernel
(step_upload_kernels.copy_small_pinned_pair) writes both from fresh
pinned snapshots of the host buffers, held until an event after the
kernel since the pinned allocator does not track a kernel's reads;
when neither changed nothing is written, as before. Tables above 4 KiB
and non-pinned hosts keep the copies.

When a standalone drafter's layers are appended to a MambaHybridCacheManagerV2,
every request needs room for the drafter's next block beyond its history, in

max_batch_size * (max_draft_len + 1) tokens of every attention and draft layer
to the fixed bytes (the attention part through _estimate_mamba_hybrid_cache_cost's
new draft_scratch_tokens); max_draft_len + 1 fits either DSpark slot convention.

RuntimeHooks.kv_cache_manager_cls lets a model name a subclass of the KV
cache manager class the engine resolves for its own KV cache.
KvCacheCreator._get_model_kv_cache_manager_cls resolves and validates the
class as before, then (model_declared_kv_cache_manager_cls) builds the
declared class instead when it is a subclass of the resolved one, logs
the choice once at INFO, and raises ValueError naming both classes when
it is not. None (the default) keeps the resolved class.

Every use of the target manager class goes through that method: the
class KvCacheCreator caches at construction (KV size estimation, the
cost model's classmethods, the cross-attention cache) and the class
_create_kv_cache_manager builds. A separate draft model's manager is
resolved from the draft model's configuration and does not use the
target model's declaration.

…ongs to the declaring cache manager

The alignment at which a cache manager takes mid-chunk snapshots is a
constant of the manager class a model declares
(RuntimeHooks.kv_cache_manager_cls), so HybridCachePolicy drops its
alignment field; its other fields and the hybrid_cache_policy passthrough
stay. The scheduler chunking and the snapshot counter tests run on a
MambaHybridCacheManagerV2 stub (test_hybrid_snapshot_points.py).

FallbackFmha's context phase sliced separate K / V to the query-token

  when its first prepare shows a long remainder; it runs on the share it
  holds (a deferral would repeat every iteration).
- LlmRequest.reset_for_recompute clears py_uncached_prefill_probed, so the
  replay is probed against the prefix cache as it is then.
- ConversationRouter with new_conversation_follow="always": a request
  without a conversation_id also carries its token estimate to the
  coordinator, so every server load is in tokens.
- A drafter's draft_kv_dtype must be a torch.dtype, and an unquantized one
  must match the drafter's weights dtype (the pool is stored in it).
- Tests: the mid-chunk snapshot budget cases run the scheduler, the exact

…om num_seq_slots

DFlashWorker._lazy_init_ctx_buffers and DSv4DSparkWorker._lazy_init
allocate their per-request slots once and reuse them for every later
batch shape, but sized them from spec_metadata.max_num_requests. That is
the captured bucket on CUDA graph metadata, so a first call on a small
bucket pinned the pool to that bucket, and it never covers the
seq-slot pool's second micro-batch under overlap headroom or pipeline
parallelism.

Both workers now take their request slots from num_seq_slots, which
already counts the GEN slot preemption headroom, so they no longer add
that headroom on top. Both metadata classes default num_seq_slots to
max_num_requests in __post_init__, so directly built metadata and its
graph copies keep the full capacity. The DSpark slot-exhaustion error
names the pool size and points at max_batch_size.

The config-time DFlash arena estimate spans pp_size micro-batches of
max_batch_size. The overlap headroom's second micro-batch depends on the
target model and the resolved KV cache manager, so it is left to the
arena check at allocation, which sees the resolved pool.
