not let ranks independently skip the collective; update the flow around

PyTorch CUDA Graphs tensors allocated before capture lifetime graph replay memory address allocator documentation
💡 Result:
PyTorch CUDA Graphs: tensors and memory addresses allocated before capture (and kept alive) must remain valid and stable for the lifetime of the captured/replayed graph. PyTorch ensures this for allocations made during capture by using a separate “graph-private” memory pool that doesn’t free/return those blocks to the normal caching allocator until the graph is done, preventing the caching allocator from reusing the same addresses during replay. 1) Why “allocated before capture” tensors must have stable lifetime - CUDA Graph capture “bakes in” the addresses of GPU memory pointers used during capture, so those memory regions must remain valid and unchanged when you replay the graph. The NVIDIA integration docs explicitly list “Memory addresses” and require static graph inputs using the same tensor objects (e.g., update via.copy_ instead of reassigning) to keep addresses fixed across replays [1]. - PyTorch’s graph API also provides debugging support for this exact issue: torch.cuda.graphs.graph has an option check_input_liveness; when True it tracks external tensor inputs during graph capture and raises an error if any are deallocated before replay, helping diagnose “use after free” between capture and replay [2]. 2) What PyTorch’s caching allocator does with memory allocated during capture - PyTorch uses a dedicated private memory pool for CUDA Graph allocations. During capture, memory is allocated/freed via this pool as if eager execution; during replay, PyTorch replays just the recorded kernels and the allocator state does not change [3][4]. - Internally, the allocator documentation/comments state the core correctness reason: because capture bakes in memory addresses, allocations used during capture must be available for replay; to guarantee that, “DeviceAllocator satisfies allocations from a graph-private memory pool during capture, and doesn’t begin cudaFreeing those addresses until the graph is destroyed” [5]. 3) Replay behavior and allocator “address stability” guarantee - With the private pool approach, the allocator won’t reuse captured addresses during graph replay, since those blocks are reserved away from the main caching pools until the graph is destroyed (or otherwise released safely). The allocator comment notes that graph-private pools reserve their high-water mark of used memory away from default pools as long as captures served by that pool survive [5]. - NVIDIA’s integration docs summarize the consequence: this separation ensures “memory addresses allocated during capture remain alive and stable throughout the graph’s lifetime, preventing the caching allocator from reusing those addresses” [1]. 4) Documentation pointers: “graph-private pool” and pool handles - torch.cuda.CUDAGraph and torch.cuda.graphs.graph expose a pool parameter / pool handle. The docs describe pool as an opaque token representing this graph’s memory pool and note it can be used to hint memory sharing between captures [6][7]. - The underlying graphs.py docstring defines graph_pool_handle as returning an opaque token representing the id of a graph memory pool, and the pool argument on graph capture APIs as a hint that the capture may share memory with the indicated pool [8]. 5) Practical takeaway (what you should do in code) - Keep input tensors that the graph uses alive from capture through all replays (don’t let them be garbage collected/deallocated). If needed for debugging, enable check_input_liveness [2]. - Reuse the same tensor objects for any “inputs” (update their contents with.copy_ rather than reassigning to a new tensor) so that the underlying memory addresses baked into the graph stay stable [1][9]. Sources used: PyTorch CUDAGraph trees docs [3][4], PyTorch CUDAGraph graph API docs [2][6], PyTorch graph-private pool allocator comments in CUDACachingAllocator.cpp [5], and NVIDIA’s PyTorch CUDA Graph integration/best-practices docs [1][9].

Protect gather buffers from concurrent reuse and graph eviction. _LOGP_GATHER_CACHE stores one mutable (packed, gathered) pair per shape, with no stream or graph ownership. Concurrent calls with the same key can overwrite the buffers while all_gather is using them and produce incorrect logprobs. The ROCm full-graph path captures this list-form collective. Because these buffers are allocated before capture, LRU eviction can release the references required to keep their addresses alive, invalidating graph replay. Serialize access and pin buffers referenced by captured graphs instead of evicting them through the 32-entry LRU.

Is torch.distributed.get_process_group_ranks available in PyTorch 2.4?
💡 Result:
Yes, torch.distributed.get_process_group_ranks is available in PyTorch 2.4 [1]. It is documented in the official PyTorch 2.4 distributed communication package documentation as a function that retrieves all ranks associated with a specified process group [1]. The function takes a ProcessGroup object as an argument (or uses the default process group if None is provided) and returns a list of global ranks ordered by their group rank [1][2].

Do not make the preflight collective conditional on rank-local cache state.
cache_preflight=True for rollout calls. If one rank receives a new contract digest while another rank has the old digest cached, only the first rank enters all_gather_into_tensor. The ranks then diverge and can hang instead of raising LogprobContractError. Run the preflight collective on every call, or coordinate the cache key across all TP ranks before skipping it.
id(tp_group) can also be reused after group destruction because the cache does not retain tp_group. Use tuple(torch.distributed.get_process_group_ranks(tp_group)) as the group-membership key if the cache remains.

Use the configured RL-Kernel logger for the route marker
tis_metrics.py creates a separate module logger with logging.getLogger(__name__). The rl_engine.utils.logger configuration does not apply to it. The repository-owned startup path does not configure the root logger at INFO; the ablation runner only redirects stdout and stderr to run.log. Therefore, logger.info() can drop the marker before validation.
Use the configured RL-Kernel logger, or explicitly configure this logger before logging the marker.

Update _log_route_identity to emit the route marker through the configured
rl_engine.utils.logger instead of the module-local logger, preserving the
existing deduplication and marker contents so the message is captured by the
RL-Kernel logging configuration.

RocmVocabParallelLogprobOpreaches_gather_logp_partials(), where the vLLM ROCm full-graph path captures list-formtorch.distributed.all_gather._LOGP_GATHER_CACHEis module-global, and its key does not identify a graph or caller. After 32 other keys are used, eviction can release the captured tensors and allow their addresses to be reused. Replay can then access repurposed storage. Same-key graph captures also share the same mutable buffers. Retain buffers for each graph, or bypass this evictable cache during capture.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
Motivation
The published PR #400 VIME TP4/CP2 performance could not be reproduced from a clean current main checkout. The original experiment workspace contained these uncommitted runtime optimizations. A clean main run remained bitwise exact with fixed M128 CK attention, but rollout throughput was substantially lower.
This PR restores the runtime optimizations while preserving the deterministic arithmetic schedule.
Validation
Workload:
Three-step G11 R/R validation:
Rollout throughput, tokens/GPU/s:
The full patch recovers the historical third-step throughput within 0.5%. The three-step run is a short integration comparison, not a replacement for a multi-seed 200-step benchmark.
