Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of KV cache preparation to avoid unnecessary resource allocation in certain scenarios, such as during warmup or when using draft models.
  • Refactor
    • Renamed a method related to KV cache resource preparation for clearer intent and consistency.
  • Chores
    • Enhanced internal logic for draft model resource handling to ensure proper KV cache management.

Description

The KV cache managers for the draft and target must currently be kept "in sync", meaning that if the target KV cache manager chooses to evict a page corresponding to some token prefix, the draft KV cache manager must do the same (and vice versa).

Given that the KV cache managers can be configured differently, it's better to query the KV cache manager in ModelEngine instead of relying on it to mutate the requests.

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.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

345-348: Excellent integration of KV cache preparation for draft models.

The addition properly integrates KV cache resource preparation into the draft model workflow. The implementation demonstrates good defensive programming practices:

  • Safe retrieval of the KV cache manager using the draft engine's key
  • Proper null-checking before method invocation
  • Correct usage of the renamed method prepare_resources_for_requests

This change aligns well with the PR objective of centralizing KV cache preparation in ModelEngine components.

tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py (1)

2072-2075: LGTM! Well-implemented KV cache preparation centralization.

The conditional logic correctly implements the PR objective of moving KV cache preparation into the ModelEngine. The three conditions for skipping preparation are appropriate:

  • No KV cache manager present
  • Warmup mode (where preparation isn't needed)
  • Draft model (which handles preparation separately in the drafter)

This change effectively addresses the synchronization issues between draft and target KV cache managers mentioned in the PR description.

💡 Verification agent

🧩 Analysis chain

Method rename looks good and aligns with PR objectives.

The rename from prepare_resources to prepare_resources_for_requests is clear and more descriptive. The implementation remains unchanged, which maintains existing functionality.

Let me verify that all callers have been updated to use the new method name:


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Description: Verify that all callers use the new method name and no old references remain
# Expected: Only new method name should be found, no calls to old method name on KVCacheManager

echo "=== Searching for old method name 'prepare_resources' on KVCacheManager ==="
rg -A 3 -B 3 "\.prepare_resources\(" --type py

echo "=== Searching for new method name 'prepare_resources_for_requests' ==="
rg -A 3 -B 3 "\.prepare_resources_for_requests\(" --type py

echo "=== Checking for any remaining method definitions with old name ==="
ast-grep --pattern $'def prepare_resources($$$):
    $$$'

Length of output: 15165


Incomplete rename: remaining prepare_resources definitions and calls must be updated

The new prepare_resources_for_requests method has been added, but there are still many legacy definitions and call-sites of prepare_resources across the codebase. Please rename both the method definitions in the cache managers and all their callers to the new name.

Locations to update:

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py
    • Rename prepare_resourcesprepare_resources_for_requests in KVCacheManager and MambaCacheManager class definitions.
    • Update the composite dispatcher methods where they call KVCacheManager.prepare_resources(self, …) and MambaCacheManager.prepare_resources(self, …).
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
    • Change all self.resource_manager.prepare_resources(scheduled_batch)self.resource_manager.prepare_resources_for_requests(scheduled_batch).
  • tests/unittest/_torch/test_pytorch_model_engine.py
    • Change kv_cache_manager.prepare_resources(batch)kv_cache_manager.prepare_resources_for_requests(batch).

In tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py around lines 334-335 and
other related locations, rename all method definitions and calls from
prepare_resources to prepare_resources_for_requests. This includes updating the
method names in KVCacheManager and MambaCacheManager classes, changing calls in
composite dispatcher methods that invoke these cache managers, modifying calls
in tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py where
self.resource_manager.prepare_resources is used, and updating
tests/unittest/_torch/test_pytorch_model_engine.py to call
prepare_resources_for_requests instead of prepare_resources. Ensure all
references are consistently renamed to avoid legacy usage.

I don't think this really solves the KV cache divergence issue. What we should do is get rid of the mutation in kv_cache_manager.add_request. That is: instead of mutating context_current_position when we allocate pages for the request, we should have the model engine ask the KV cache manager how many tokens are cached when it's preparing metadata.

Oh, I misunderstood it. Seems the core point is to remove the usage of setContextCurrentPosition.
