From 743119b61a722fb5e58fda17bd1c24de1092f49a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shijiashuai Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:08:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat(transformer): wire split-KV decode behind TLLM_ATTN_SPLITKV (PR-C) Connects the split-KV entry points from PR-B to the production decode path. - LayerWorkspace gains `attn_partial`, sized once for kAttnMaxSplits (32) rather than for the runtime value: the switch is parsed per call (so setenv keeps working in tests without a reset seam) while the allocation stays fixed, so a changed value cannot overflow the buffer. - TLLM_ATTN_SPLITKV = : unset/empty/0/1 take the single-pass entry points (bit-identical to today, no extra combine launch); 2..32 take the split-KV ones. Non-numeric or out-of-range values fail loudly (G5), with the offending value and the accepted range in the message. - Routing covers both decode branches (direct and legacy); prefill is untouched, and a test pins that. Tests: 5 new cases in test_paged_dispatch.cpp, plus runMinimalDecode extracted so the two entry-error tests stop duplicating the minimal view. Off-by-default/0/1 are bitwise identical; invalid values fail loudly; legacy and direct agree bitwise at the same num_splits; split shifts numerics only slightly versus single-pass; prefill is unaffected. --- BLOCKING FINDING, recorded because it affects whether this can ship. While developing this, the full suite failed deterministically (16 tests; the first an illegal read in attention_decode_kernel) whenever the extra device allocation was present. The read was 4 bytes past the END of the KV pool -- the kernel used a visible length (~64) far larger than the step's actual 21 -- in the *existing contiguous* path (test_paged_oracle.cpp:673). Decisive control: at the PR-B state, with no split-KV code at all, injecting one independent 8 KiB cudaMalloc/cudaFree into LayerWorkspace::allocate reproduces the identical failure. So it is a pre-existing, allocation-layout-sensitive latent bug, not something split-KV introduced. It is also build-sensitive: the failing binary failed 4/4 runs, and after a revert-and-repop rebuild the same source passes 6/6. That is the dangerous kind of latent bug -- it can flip on another toolchain, which is what CI (CUDA 11.8) versus this box (13.3) represents. Consequence: split-KV adds a device allocation and therefore perturbs the same layout. This commit is green here, but it should not be trusted until that latent bug is understood and fixed as its own task.
