[TRTLLM-16564][feat] MLA-backboned standalone DSpark drafter (Inferact/Kimi-K3-DSpark)

[dc3671]

Description

Adds the MLA-backboned standalone DSpark drafter for Kimi-K3, alongside the GQA one already on main.

The GQA drafter stores 16 KV heads x 64, K and V both. Under attention-DP nothing shards it, so every rank holds 20480 B per token. The MLA drafter holds one 576-wide latent per token per layer: 5760 B, a 3.6x reduction that does not depend on the parallelism.

Measured on the GEN worker of a DEP16 disaggregated run — two arms whose generated gen_config.yaml differ by exactly one line (speculative_model), same tree, same MoE backend, same free_gpu_memory_fraction=0.8:

per rank	GQA drafter	MLA drafter
KV capacity	1,779,275 tok	2,491,831 tok	+40.0%
bytes/token, total	48,128	33,408	-30.6%
bytes/token, target	27,648	27,648	unchanged
bytes/token, draft	20,480	5,760	-71.9%
draft pool	33.94 GiB	13.37 GiB	-20.57 GiB

Those are the KV manager's own max_tokens ... New quota is <G>GiB lines, not derived. Three independent cross-checks agree: draft quota / max_tokens is exactly 5760.0 and 20480.0; solving target = a*tokens + b across the two arms gives a = 27648.0 B/token, identical for both as it must be; and the pool shapes are 5 x (194785, 1, 1, 64, 576) bf16 for MLA against 5 x (139005, 2, 16, 64, 64) for GQA. The residual b = 7.53 GiB is the token-independent KDA per-sequence state, which is why capacity rises 40.0% rather than the 44.1% the bytes/token ratio alone would suggest.

MLADSparkForCausalLM is selected from the checkpoint's own architectures, so switching drafters is one line of config. It brings its own absorbed-MLA block decode rather than borrowing the worker's attention backend (_uses_worker_attention_backend = False), and takes its context KV from the draft KV cache manager's pool rather than a max_seq_len-dense private arena (_paged_ctx_cache = True) — the arena needs 78.5 GiB at 1M context, which is what made the MLA drafter undeployable before #18343 landed.

One user-visible default moves

DSparkDecodingConfig.attention_backend goes VANILLA -> AUTO, and AUTO resolves per drafter family: an MLA backbone to its absorbed-MLA paged decode, a GQA backbone to the trtllm-gen op set, degrading to VANILLA when those ops are unavailable. A standalone GQA DSpark deployment that did not set the field therefore moves from FlashAttention to trtllm-gen. Nothing raises that did not raise before on that family — only the MLA one refuses to degrade, because a build that cannot run its kernel cannot hold the target either. The Literal only gains values (AUTO, CUTEDSL), so existing configs stay valid; tests/unittest/api_stability reference files are unchanged, since they record speculative_config's union type rather than each config's fields.

Block reuse

kv_cache_config.enable_block_reuse: true costs the drafter acceptance: the target skips a cached prefix, the drafter's context does not follow, so it cross-attends over the newly computed tail alone. Lossless — the target verifies every token — so AL is the only symptom. NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM#18093 built the one-model draft KV reuse protocol but its scope table excludes DFlash/DSpark; these two commits join them to it, and _store_prefill_context indexes the tail from the absolute position instead of overwriting the prefix from 0.

Teacher-forced multi-turn, T=0, C=1, every (conversation, turn) prompt byte-identical across arms. 20 trajectories, 522 paired turns, SE clustered on conversation [measured job 3084626, on the source branch]:

subset	reuse ON before	after	reuse OFF	SGLang	turns
workflow	1.7778	2.2343	2.2018	2.2610	151
coding	2.4603	3.3932	3.2861	3.3834	371
ALL	2.2056	2.9450	2.8714	2.9482	522

SGLang − this branch is +0.0231 (SE 0.0335, t = 0.69), i.e. indistinguishable.

Why this is not split further

The drafter, the KV-budget fix and the backend selection are one deployable unit: the drafter cannot run without the per-request page bound (it corrupts a neighbour's pages), and it cannot be budgeted without charging the draft pool at its allocated dtype (the split hands it half the target's tokens and the GEN worker dies at ~50% target utilization, fatal to every rank). Landing any one alone leaves a configuration that loads and then fails in production. The commits are separable for review and each carries its own test.

Test Coverage

All numbers below are from this branch rebased onto current main (236 upstream commits, four files conflict-resolved), in the container the editable env was built against.

Unit — 13 suites, 236 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed, plus test_kda_mtp_decode_cute_parity.py 30 passed. The 41 tests this PR adds break down as:

• Falsifiable against a named commit (14): each asserts a value the pre-fix code cannot produce — e.g. test_inherited_fp8_kv_algo_is_dropped_from_the_draft_cost asserts cost.slope == 5760, which is 2880 without the fix; test_mla_block_fixup_stays_inside_the_allocation asserts every page is 42 with a negative control that lands on page 0; test_prepare_keeps_cuda_graph_slots_across_replays reads [7,8,9] across two prepare() calls where the old path reset to [0,0,0].
• Numeric parity with a negative control (5): absorbed vs un-absorbed MLA, SWA vs full attention, adjacent-pair vs HF RoPE. Each pairs a tolerance with a control that must be far outside it (K/V halves swapped lands 89-201x away), so a degenerate output cannot pass.
• Construction-time contract (19): the backend policy and weight-loading guards. These cannot run on main at all — the class does not exist there — so their answer to "red on which commit" is "absent before the feature commit". Three match on exact error strings.

Disaggregated GSM8K, TEP16 1xCTX + 1xGEN, full 1319 questions, 5-shot, against the same config before the rebase:

	pre-rebase	this branch
strict-match	0.9629	0.9666 ±0.0049
drafter AL	3.713	3.715
drafter AR	38.8%	38.8%
not aligned to 16 bytes in CTX	16 ranks	0

AL is 1 + sum(i*hist[i]) / sum(hist) over all 16 ranks' dflash_accept_stats_rank*.json — the denominator is request-steps, not num_steps, which counts iterations and would overstate AL ~7.7x. The GEN worker logs DFlash: ctx block tables 32 times, so this exercises the managed paged pool rather than the private arena; the arena fallback would make the run vacuous.

Aggregated GSM8K + acceptance, TEP16, n=200, 0-shot (the drafter was distilled on chat traffic), against two pre-rebase runs of the same arm:

	pre-rebase A	pre-rebase B	this branch
AL	5.505	5.390	5.534
AR	66.3%	64.6%	66.7%
flexible-extract	84	86.5	83 ±2.7

The two pre-rebase runs differ from each other by 0.115 AL and 1.7pt AR, so this run sits inside the arm's own spread. strict-match is 0 in all three: at 0-shot the model never sees the #### <answer> form, so the strict filter matches nothing by construction.

Two gaps worth stating rather than hiding:

• tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_budget_split.py is in no CI test list, so the three tests added there do not run in CI. The gap pre-dates this PR (l0_cpu.yml covers unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic as a directory, but _torch/executor/kv_cache is listed file-by-file).
• The reuse extension's own guard (first_pos + slen > covered -> RuntimeError) is subsumed here by this branch's per-request cap, which is the same quantity (_ctx_block_counts[i] * page_size) and skips the request with a warning rather than killing the forward for every other in-flight request.
• The flashinfer MLA decode call's lse= / return_lse= keyword pair is exercised only through the parity test, not asserted directly.

Review follow-ups

Landed after the first review round:

• The paged generation path raised AttributeError. Upstream's merged [None][feat] Page the DSpark drafter context through the draft KV cache manager #18343 bounds the drafter's context writes by the block-table width and defines no _ctx_block_counts; the branch this was developed on defines it, so the port carried the consumer without its producer. Restored, and both write paths — generation and _store_prefill_context — are now bounded by the same quantity rather than only the advertised read length.
• That bound is per-request on one backend only. copyBatchBlockOffsetsToDeviceKernel maps BAD_PAGE_INDEX to 0 (kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu:231) and TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND defaults to cpp, so there the count saturates at the table width and the bound degenerates to exactly what upstream already applied. It is real on the python backend, which propagates the sentinel. Stated in dflash_allocated_ctx_limit's docstring so nobody reads a guarantee into it.
• The draft-KV dtype carve-out is narrowed from is_external_drafter() to is_dflash() or is_dspark(), matching _should_create_separate_draft_kv_cache; PARD and DRAFT_TARGET_ONE_MODEL reach that helper too and can carry a genuine fp8 KV algo of their own.
• _runtime_position_ceiling is declared on DFlashForCausalLM instead of injected, the MLA RoPE table is keyed on its resolved cap so a re-published ceiling rebuilds it, a guard whose named failure mode now raises one frame down was removed, and a try/except around a diagnostic that cannot fail was dropped.
• Tests: the allocation-bound test calls the production clamp instead of restating it and gains a negative control at the regression boundary; two parameterized tests drive both KIMI_K3_AUX_ATTN_RES_STREAM conventions through the real layer forward and the model tail.

Also in this branch

Two ancillary commits that touch the same files and are not part of the feature:

• A comment correction in the draft-mirror saturation path. Skipping a context request whose mirror found no IndexMapper slot does not defer it to the next iteration — copy_batch_block_offsets runs later in the same iteration and IndexMapper::getCopyIndex feeds every id in the batch, context ids included, to getIndex(), which TLLM_CHECKs on an unmapped id. Behaviour is unchanged and predates the mirror refactor; only the claim about it was wrong.
• _get_draft_kv_model_config(), so the KV budget split charges the external drafter at the dtype its pool is actually allocated at. kv_cache_config.dtype: fp8 stamps the target's algo onto every loaded model; the allocation path stripped it back off for an external drafter but the cost path did not, charging 2880 B/token for a pool costing 5760.

PR Checklist

• PR description clearly explains what and why — yes, including the one default-value change above.

• PR follows TRT-LLM CODING GUIDELINES to the best of my knowledge.

• Test cases are provided for new code paths — yes, 41 new tests, classified above.

• API changes: the attention_backend Literal only gains values and tests/unittest/api_stability references are unchanged, so this is api-compatible, not breaking. tensorrt_llm/usage/llm_args_golden_manifest.json is regenerated and committed, as AGENTS.md requires.

• New dependencies: none.

• CODEOWNERS: unchanged. The manifest edit pulls in trt-llm-usage-telemetry-devs, trt-llm-oss-compliance and trt-llm-noncommitted-api-review-committee per .github/CODEOWNERS:496.

• Documentation: no user-facing doc change; the new architecture name K3DsparkForCausalLM is deliberately not added to tensorrt_llm/usage/architecture_allowlist.py, since the checkpoint is not publicly documented by TensorRT-LLM. Telemetry hashes it, which fails closed.

• tava architecture diagram: no change, this adds a drafter behind existing interfaces.

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

206-248: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test coverage summary (tests/ path instruction).**

• Files modified: tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_dspark_cute_dsl_rmsnorm_rope.py.
• Tests added: test_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_norm_dim[False] and test_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_norm_dim[True].
• Behaviors covered: norm_dim forwarding from _rmsnorm_rope_batched to is_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_supported and to the compiled kernel; whole-row normalization as the DSv4 regression gate; latent-only normalization with a raw k_pe tail; RoPE over the trailing rope_dim; numerical agreement with an eager reference at bf16 tolerance.
• Strengths: the test seeds RNG, asserts the support predicate before the numeric assertion so a silent eager fallback cannot pass, and uses a strictly positive weight so the two parameterizations produce genuinely different expected tensors.
• Gap: the split (norm_dim == nope) path is not covered with apply_weight=False or apply_rmsnorm=False, which is the exact combination the MLA query path uses at modeling_dspark.py lines 3001-3010. That path relies on the kernel skipping the weight read outside norm_dim. Add one parameterization with apply_rmsnorm=False, apply_weight=False to close it.
• Verdict: sufficient for the norm_dim contract; one recommended addition above.

Require every parameter of each required module. _supplied() returns true when any parameter exists under a non-fused, non-shared module. DFlash loading passes allow_partial_loading=True, so the loader skips missing parameters and leaves their torch.empty storage uninitialized. Reject the checkpoint unless every parameter in each required module is present, while preserving the target-shared exceptions.
