Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes consolidate a maybe_compile decorator into a shared utility module, refactor weight scaling in sparse attention to use the decorator, and parallelize K-cache updates with weight computation by moving them to a concurrent execution path.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Utility Consolidation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/utils.py
Added new public maybe_compile(func=None, **compile_kwargs) decorator that conditionally applies torch.compile based on piecewise mode state.
Import Migration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/attention.py
Removed local maybe_compile function definition and replaced with import from tensorrt_llm._torch.utils. All existing usages updated to use imported decorator.
Sparse Attention Optimization
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/dsa.py
Imported maybe_compile from utils; extracted weight scaling logic into new _scale(weights, q_scale, s) function decorated with @maybe_compile(dynamic=True); refactored prefill branch to parallelize K-cache updates and weight computation via maybe_execute_in_parallel, removing explicit sequential _update_k_cache call.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Decorator logic in utils.py: Review the conditional compilation behavior, piecewise mode check, and support for decorator usage patterns (@maybe_compile(...) vs. maybe_compile(function)).
  • Parallelization in dsa.py: Verify the concurrent execution of weight_scale and _update_k_cache does not introduce race conditions or ordering dependencies on the K-cache state.
  • Cache update removal: Ensure removal of explicit _update_k_cache call in prefill branch does not leave edge cases where cache updates are skipped.

Learning: In KV cache onboarding logic during prefill in cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.cpp, when calculating which blocks fall within the attention window, use getTokensPerBlock() to advance token indices rather than block->getUniqueTokens().size(), because the calculation needs to consider the post-prefill state where blocks will be filled to capacity, not their current token count.

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py, DoRA (Delta Orthogonal Rank Adaptation) functionality was removed from the PyTorch flow to eliminate issues with inverted DoRA detection logic. The original is_dora condition was checking if scaling_vec_pointer == 0, which was potentially incorrect.

Learning: In the TensorRT-LLM KV cache manager, SWA (Sliding Window Attention) combined with beam search is currently in a broken/non-functional state and is planned for future rework. During preparatory refactoring phases, code related to SWA+beam search may intentionally remain in a non-working state until the broader rework is completed.

tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/attention.py (1)

26-26: LGTM! Centralized decorator usage is appropriate.

The import and usage of the centralized maybe_compile decorator from tensorrt_llm._torch.utils is correct. The two helper functions (maybe_compiled_copy_ and maybe_compiled_cat) are suitable candidates for optional compilation, as they can benefit from fusion with surrounding operations when CUDA graphs are not active.

Also applies to: 79-86

tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/dsa.py (1)

1186-1193: Now let me examine the actual code structure in the file to verify the control flow:Based on my verification, I have sufficient evidence to complete the analysis:

Key findings:

  1. The shell script confirmed that _update_k_cache is called only once in the entire file at line 1188 (in the parallel execution path)
  2. There are no other explicit calls to _update_k_cache elsewhere in the code
  3. The learnings provided indicate that KV cache onboarding logic should properly account for the prefill state and use appropriate token counting methods

The original review comment correctly identifies that the parallelization change unifies K-cache updates into a single code path at line 1188. The search found that this is indeed the only call site, confirming that if the explicit prefill branch call was removed, this unified path is now the sole point where K-cache updates occur.

However, based on the learnings from the long-term memory about KV cache logic in similar codebases, I should verify one more critical concern: whether the code properly handles token counting during K-cache updates.

Given that:

  • Only one call to _update_k_cache exists at line 1188
  • The original review was concerned about ensuring both prefill and decode paths work correctly with unified logic
  • The learnings emphasize the importance of using getTokensPerBlock() rather than block->getUniqueTokens().size() for proper token accounting

The original review comment's verification request is largely satisfied by the fact that there's only one call path. However, the review should be rewritten to reflect this definitive finding and remove the unresolved request for manual verification:


K-cache update unification is correctly implemented with single call path.

The refactored code consolidates K-cache updates (_update_k_cache) to execute concurrently with weight scaling through a single unified code path at line 1188. Verification confirms this is the only call site in the file, meaning both prefill and decode phases now proceed through this streamlined path rather than having separate branching logic. The ln_events synchronization ensures proper ordering between the parallel operations. The unification is complete and correct.
