This reconfiguration is done to NOT allocate tensors with an exact matching size. If that strategy is used a tensor will always trigger an allocation in the arena and not reuse memory since the memory size has to exactly match.
This became a big problem with ORT GenAI since the arena grew constantly when prompting with different prompt lengths. No arena shrinkage was triggered to return older tensors. @skottmckay I am happy to be educated of a better usage of the allocators.
Issues with this:
Since the arena is not used for workspace allocations anymore (using reserve) it will likely not be possible in the future to allocate on a stream and immediately free memory after an enqueue call. That could have enabled workspace sharing in a multi model pipeline very nicely.
@chilo-ms can you help merge this.
