Description

launch_server (tensorrt_llm/commands/serve.py) guarded the trtllm-serve --port CLI argument with:

assert port > 0 or disagg_cluster_config is not None, "Port must be specified ..."

Using assert on user input means an AssertionError (not a clear error), and under python -O the check is stripped entirely — so --port 0 without a disagg config silently binds an ephemeral port instead of erroring. Behavior should not depend on the -O flag.

Change

Replace the assert with an explicit raise ValueError.

Test

New CPU-only unit test in tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_serve_port_validation.py: launch_server with port=0 and no disagg config raises ValueError (the check runs before any bind/model load).

Dev Engineer Review

  • launch_server now uses explicit ValueError validation instead of assert.
  • Port 0 is allowed with disaggregated configuration or report_addr.
  • Negative ports remain invalid.
  • Validation occurs before address resolution and socket binding.
  • The CPU test-list entry uses the correct path and scope.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added test_launch_server_rejects_nonpositive_port_without_disagg.
  • The test covers ports 0 and -1.
  • The test verifies that ValueError occurs before address resolution and that bind() is not called.
  • The test is registered in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml.
  • Verdict: sufficient.

Walkthrough

launch_server validates ports before address resolution. Port 0 is allowed only with disaggregated configuration or report_addr. Negative and invalid ports raise ValueError. Tests cover ports 0 and -1 and run in the CPU pre-merge suite.

Changes

Serve port validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime validation and regression coverage
tensorrt_llm/commands/serve.py, tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_serve_port_validation.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml
launch_server validates ports before address resolution. The parametrized test covers ports 0 and -1, checks the expected ValueError, and verifies that socket binding does not occur. The CPU pre-merge list includes the test module.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c06ea

The change improves invalid port handling, but negative ports can still produce an inconsistent error type in a narrow CLI configuration; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Addressed in 26826eb: parametrized over port 0 and -1 (mocking socket so getaddrinfo doesn't fail first on -1) and assert bind() is never called when validation fails.

Changes are small and good! But we want to hold this PR for a while before this one #15815 get merged. So that we can add the test into the cpu only test stage to make it covered by CI.

Hi @lonexreb , could you please add the test into tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu_x86.yml? And then we can run CI and merge this PR. Thanks!

Thanks @JunyiXu-nv! tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu_x86.yml isn't on main yet (it comes in with #15815), so I'll add the entry for tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_serve_port_validation.py as soon as #15815 merges. Happy to push it immediately once the file lands — just ping me, or let me know if you'd prefer I add it against your branch.

launch_server guarded the --port CLI argument with an assert, which raises
AssertionError and, under python -O, is stripped entirely (silently binding
an ephemeral port). Raise a ValueError instead.

Thanks @JunyiXu-nv — done in 8f47537. Notes:

  • The test is registered in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml (the list l0_cpu_x86.yml was migrated there by [TRTLLM-13696][test] Part2.1: Migrate CPU only tests - runtime #16498 since your review).
  • The branch is rebased onto current main. The validation was reconciled with the newer port-handling code from main: the condition now also allows --report_addr (added upstream, where port == 0 lets the kernel pick the port), and it still raises ValueError before getaddrinfo/bind instead of the previous assert.

Ready for CI whenever you are.

…ative ports

The port guard was accidentally duplicated into launch_visual_gen_server
during the rebase, referencing parameters that function does not have
(F821). Remove it. Also tighten the launch_server check per review: only
port == 0 is the legitimate kernel-assigned case; negative ports now
raise ValueError in every configuration instead of leaking into
getaddrinfo.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Run port validation before the multi-frontend guard.

When port < 0, report_addr is set, and multiple frontends are configured, Lines 609-613 raise click.BadParameter before this check runs. Negative ports therefore do not consistently raise ValueError in all configurations. Move this validation before the multi-frontend guard, while preserving the separate restriction for port == 0.

@JunyiXu-nv all checks are green now (the earlier pre-commit failure was a rebase artifact, fixed in 63d8203 + c06ea08). Ready for /bot run and merge whenever you have a moment. Thanks!
