Dev Engineer Review

  • Added PyExecutor.recompute_active_requests().
  • The method drains the pending overlap batch.
  • It terminates and pauses active requests while preserving generated tokens for re-prefill.
  • It releases request caches before resetting the prefix cache.
  • No configuration or test-list changes were detected.
  • Review should verify request-state transitions and cache-release ordering for overlap, disaggregated, and KV cache manager V2 paths.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

PyExecutor now recomputes active requests by draining pending overlap work, pausing active requests, releasing request caches, and resetting prefix-cache reuse state.

Changes

Active request recomputation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recompute active requests
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
Adds PyExecutor.recompute_active_requests(). The method consumes a pending overlap batch, terminates and pauses active requests, releases their caches, and resets prefix-cache reuse state.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5fc59

The new recompute behavior can release request resources before pipeline-parallel work finishes, which may cause incorrect results or failures when pipeline parallelism is enabled. This is not merge-ready for those configurations until the in-flight work is drained or the operation is explicitly rejected.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Drain the PP microbatch ring before releasing request resources.

When pp_size > 1, _consume_previous_batch_for_rebalance() does not drain micro_batches or unhandled_batch_counter. A non-draining control action can therefore call _terminate_requests() and _pause_requests() while _handle_executed_batch() still needs the request state. The later PP completion can access released caches or discard sampled tokens that the recompute operation must preserve.

Either reject this operation for PP, or add an executor-loop state that stops queueing and drains the PP ring before lines 8603-8604 run. The current blocking control action cannot drain that ring after it enters this method.

When pp_size > 1 && enable_kv_cache_reuse && kv_cache_transceiver, _terminate_request() only stashes the request into DisaggPPTerminationHandler._pending_termination (line 8651); the actual free_resources() happens later in terminate_pending_requests() after a full pp_size-round ring vote. So _pause_requests() below resets those requests to CONTEXT_INIT, the scheduler re-admits them with fresh KV, and the deferred termination then frees the resources of a request that is running again. Should the pending terminations be drained (or this path be excluded) before pausing?

active_requests can contain requests that hold no cache yet — a freshly fetched CONTEXT_INIT one under drain=False, or a disagg request in transmission. The existing all-active-requests primitive guards each one with mgr.is_request_active(req.py_request_id) (_rebalance_kv_pools_now, line 4882), and every other _terminate_request call site is state-qualified (e.g. line 8419 excludes is_disagg_context_transmission_state). With the rocket sparse KV manager this is a hard failure: BlockManager.free_resources does del self.block_ids[request_id] on an entry only ever created by add_tokens. Please filter by state / cache liveness before terminating.

scheduler then treats those tokens as context and prefills them again
before decoding resumes.

pause() clamps to min(maxInputLen, promptLen + numGenerated) and, for beamWidth > 1, resets tokens back to promptLen entirely (llmRequest.h:905-941). So generated tokens are not always preserved — worth stating both exceptions here, or rejecting the beam-search case explicitly.

V2 evicts through _suspend_request inside scheduler_v2 (lines 571/673), and the closest existing "release every active request" primitive, _rebalance_kv_pools_now, uses mgr.suspend_request instead. Could the docstring say why suspend is not usable here (presumably because it preserves the old-weight KV that must be discarded)?

This method has no caller in the tree and no test. Given it touches request state transitions and KV release ordering, could the control_action wiring and at least one test (overlap loop, requests re-prefilled and completing correctly) land with it — or is that a follow-up PR?
