Description

KVCM V2 can allocate its initialization pool beyond the estimated GPU budget when a constraint combines the model's maximum sequence length with a full batch of short requests. The temporary pool stays resident during resource profiling, so this can OOM during pool creation or model/encoder warmup.

Bound the long-request initialization constraint using the existing quota-to-token estimator and resume watermark, and express long-request, short-batch, and context requirements independently. Keep the existing CUDA-graph allocation order: allocate short dummy requests, then query capacity for the longest request. V2 reserves one additional generation token and frees the short requests when capacity is insufficient. V1 continues to query the remaining free blocks after short-request allocation. No new capacity-query API is added.

This change targets the existing full-attention CI failures. The original gRPC, Seed-OSS, Mistral, and two multimodal-example fixtures explicitly select V2 and preserve their model workloads, accuracy thresholds, timeouts, and assertions. Focused regression coverage checks bytes/tokens budgets for temporary and final managers.

PR #18988's quota synchronization fix is already in the baseline. This fix supports #17495 and covers the two A10 multimodal example cases from #19211.

Test Coverage

Manual GPU validation of current head ad12477673 through tekit-run, with source hashes checked and actual V2 manager/scheduler creation verified:

GPU / original group Result Graph warmup/capture per temporary and final phase
A10 gRPC multimodal 3 passed 34/34 in all four phases
A10 serve multimodal example 2 inner cases and outer wrapper passed 34/34 in all four phases
A10 chat multimodal example 5 applicable inner cases and outer wrapper passed 33/33 in all four phases
B200 focused regressions 172 passed Includes the real graph-request builder with bytes/tokens budgets and temporary/final managers

All 10 original A10 cases passed on the current head, with no configured graph batch size skipped. The chat selector retains its original exclusion of the separate L40S-only case. The focused regression run retains the same two baseline supplementary V1 cases deselected; there were no failures, errors, or skips among the 172 selected cases.

  • These runs load the current manager/model-engine modules with the checksum-verified CI60442 native artifact and the previously validated Python runtime dependencies. They validate the task changes in that environment; they are not a fresh native build of current main.
  • Earlier full model runs before the query-order rollback passed B200 Seed-OSS-36B (all 1,319 GSM8K samples, 92.115 >= 87.597) and H100 Mistral-Small-24B forced chunked prefill (all 900 MMMU samples, 53.667 >= 53.123). Those two model groups were not rerun on the current head.
  • Repository commit hooks and DCO passed. GitHub's pre-commit check also passed. Pre-merge CI was requested with /bot run --disable-fail-fast; its results remain pending.

Current source/log hashes, JUnit results, client stdout/stderr, and all graph-phase evidence are recorded in tmp/p0-order-rollback/A10_RESULTS.json and RESULTS.json under /home/scratch.yizhan_sw_1/tekit-pr-unwaive-kv-siblings/. Full logs are under /home/scratch.yizhan_sw_1/logs/2026-09-16/a4u8g-0002/ with the p0_order_rollback_*_ad12477673 prefix. Earlier model-run evidence remains in tmp/clamp-comparison/RESULTS.md and RESULTS.json.

Original independently reproduced failures: PR17495 test report, build 8447.

PR Checklist

  • Description and tests cover the initialization-budget and full-attention warmup fix.

  • Original model workloads and assertions are preserved; repository hooks and DCO sign-off passed.

  • No new dependency, public LLM configuration field, ownership change, or architecture-diagram change.

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

Dev Engineer Review

  • KVCM V2 now separates long-request and short-batch warmup constraints.
  • Long-request sizing uses the quota-to-token estimate at the resume watermark.
  • The sizing respects max_seq_len, draft tokens, and extra KV tokens.
  • CUDA-graph warmup reserves one additional generation token.
  • Insufficient capacity frees allocated warmup requests.
  • Allocation order remains unchanged. No public API changes were identified.
  • Review finding counts are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

  • Unit coverage includes byte and token budgets, cache resizing, resume behavior, full-attention and key-only caches, CUDA-graph warmup, page boundaries, and insufficient-capacity handling.
  • Integration coverage enables KVCM V2 for Seed-OSS, Mistral Small, and multimodal workloads.
  • test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py is registered through unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests.
  • test_smg.py is listed in test-db/l0_a10.yml.
  • Related multimodal OpenAI and TRTLLM serving tests are listed in test-db entries.
  • Exact CI and QA registration for the changed Seed-OSS and Mistral test variants is not confirmed.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py: Verify warmup constraints at quota, resume-watermark, sequence-length, draft-token, and extra-KV-token boundaries.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py: Verify extra-token reservation and cleanup when warmup capacity is insufficient.
  • tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch.py: Covers Seed-OSS with KVCM V2. Exact changed-variant registration is not confirmed.
  • tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch_multimodal.py: Covers Mistral Small with KVCM V2. Exact changed-variant registration is not confirmed.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py: Covers cache budgets, resizing, resume behavior, cache variants, warmup, page boundaries, and insufficient capacity. The suite is registered through unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests.
  • tests/unittest/grpc/smg/test_smg.py: Covers multimodal gRPC use of KVCM V2. It is listed in test-db/l0_a10.yml.

2693-2702: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for the min_decode_capacity floor branch.

test_avg_seq_len_builds_warmup_constraints sets max_draft_len=2, so the floor is 3, but its helper mocks _get_max_tokens_from_quota to return max_seq_len (1024). The budget-based tests use spec_config=None, so the floor is 1, while their quota estimates are positive and their assertions do not inspect constraints[0].

A regression that removes or reverses max(min_decode_capacity, estimate) can therefore pass. Add a case where the mock returns 0 with max_draft_len > 0, and assert that config.constraints[0] uses min_decode_capacity.

This estimate excludes buffers registered by _extra_buffers_per_layer(), such as MiniMax-M3/QSA index caches. Native constraints use the real layout, so minQuota may exceed the configured GPU budget and cause initialization OOM.

Please model the final dummy capacity here. add_dummy_requests() reserves runtime draft/extra tokens, then adds max_draft_loop_tokens + 1; crossing a page boundary makes this constraint under-allocate the short batch.

This clamp starts from total slots and reserves only one minimal page per other row, although short dummies and the optional guard page are already resident. It can overestimate capacity and skip graph capture.

The draft cache cannot use the target-style clamp: its warmup resizes omit history_length, so SWA history remains zero and the full prefix is materialized. The solver assumes stale-page reclamation and overestimates capacity.
