Description

The gen worker was undercounting the true number of allocated tokens when MTP is enabled, which can lead to undercounting the number of allocated blocks if the draft tokens cross a block boundary.

This causes us to compute 0 scratch blocks:

scratch_blocks = max(0, allocated_blocks - prompt_blocks)

This means that that block_ids is not trimmed, and we have too many blocks in the list when _trim_packed_beam_block_ids is called.

We then hit this if statement (meant for SWA cases, I think):

if beam0_block_ids.size > expected_valid:
    beam0_block_ids = (
        beam0_block_ids[-expected_valid:]
        if expected_valid > 0
        else np.array([], dtype=np.int64)
    )

Which causes the first prompt block ID to get removed. As a result, the gen worker will write the context prompt to the wrong blocks, and the KV cache is corrupted.

This only happens when prompt_len + draft_len crosses a block boundary, which is why we don't see it for every request. This also explains why the problem gets worse as you increase draft_len.

Test Coverage

This PR is a quick mitigation for the bug. #18668 is being introduced to write more tests and reduce the risk of this happening again.

Dev Engineer Review

  • KvCacheTransceiverV2 adds sender-side pipelined prefill transfer support.
  • The implementation adds compatibility checks for bounce buffers, Mamba or hybrid caches, and block-reuse policies.
  • Session retirement now prevents recreation and waits for cross-rank writer quiescence before cancellation or retirement.
  • Sliding-window generation sizing includes speculative draft tokens.
  • KV-slice transfer remains limited to prompt blocks.
  • The new pipeline_transfer_enabled, has_inflight_transfer(), and has_retired_send_session() APIs are consistent with the updated session lifecycle.
  • No configuration files or test-list files changed.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified test: tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_cache_reuse_adapter.py
  • The synthetic request in _build_transceiver_for_kv_slice now sets py_draft_tokens based on num_extra_kv_tokens.
  • This supplies speculative-token data required by the KV-slice test path.
  • The test is not listed in tests/integration/test_lists/ based on the provided changes.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up because the change supports speculative-token coverage, but no test-list coverage or additional regression test is included for the reported block-boundary accuracy issue.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The transceiver adds optional sender-side pipelined prefill transfer. It validates incompatible cache configurations, tracks retired send sessions, waits for cross-rank writer quiescence, and includes speculative draft tokens in sliding-window allocation while transferring prompt blocks only.

Changes

Pipelined KV-cache transfer

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prompt-block KV-slice allocation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_cache_reuse_adapter.py
Sliding-window generation allocation includes speculative draft tokens. KV-slice construction trims speculative scratch blocks and transfers prompt blocks only. The KV-slice test fixture now provides draft tokens.
Sender-side prefill chunking
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py
The sender creates incremental prefill chunks when pipelining is enabled. Request completion and state changes occur on the final chunk. Initialization rejects incompatible bounce-buffer, Mamba or hybrid cache, and block-reuse configurations.
Cross-rank session retirement
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py
Cancellation and failure handling records retired send sessions. Session recreation is rejected after retirement. Cleanup waits for physical writers to become quiescent across participating ranks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 42586

The speculative-token fixture update covers allocation and trimming behavior, but the affected test module is not included in the CI test list. The implementation is mergeable with owner awareness, though registering the module is needed to prevent this coverage from being skipped.

Explanation

The description clearly explains the MTP token-counting defect, its block-trimming impact, KV-cache corruption risk, affected condition, mitigation, and planned follow-up testing. It includes the required sections and checklist. The test coverage section does not list specific executed tests, but it documents the mitigation scope and follow-up test work.

Add type annotations to the changed signature.

_consensus_outcome leaves to_process, cancelled, failed, completed, and locally_quiesced unannotated, and it has no return annotation. The same applies to the new _gen_consensus_outcome and _ctx_consensus_outcome wrappers. The coding guidelines require annotating every function.

♻️ Proposed annotations
     def _consensus_outcome(
         self,
-        to_process,
