Description

This is a combination of two MRs:

#16875

This MR does multiple perf optimizations to address inter-iter idle times:

  • Page table and out_cache_loc are now built on the host from the block ids, replacing per-request device kernels and per-token .item() reads
  • Block ids, length mirrors and query-row staging tensors are pinned and copied non-blocking instead of landing in pageable memory.
  • on_update_kv_lens patches plan lengths entirely on device for every step, dropping the prefill/mixed host copy-back and plan rebuild.
  • The MSA planner keeps its lengths host-side and loses its blocking copies and .item(), and sparse plans now patch seqused_k - the length their kernels actually mask with.
  • Two correctness guards: corrected kv_lens are clamped to the extent prepare()` planned for, and the stale host empty-block flag is gone.

#16923

Problem:
In a mixed batch (context + generation requests in one step), fmha_sm100_plan recognized only decode-first ordering, but TensorRT-LLM always orders context requests first; so has_mixed was always false and the whole batch was planned as a single sparse-prefill call.

Fix:
_mixed_batch_split now also recognizes prefill-first ordering, restricted to sparse plans so the proxy and dense plans stay byte-identical (the proxy's max-score output drives top-k block selection). The sparse GQA plan then covers only the context rows, and generation rows route to the paged decode kernel.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

MSA sparse attention now supports mixed-batch planning in either ordering, strided paged KV inputs, direct output buffers, asynchronous host metadata staging, cached page tables, and structured paged KV mappings. Tests cover page indexing and mixed prefill/decode mappings.

Changes

MSA sparse attention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mixed-batch planning and execution
3rdparty/patches/msa_strided_paged_kv.patch
Plans detect contiguous decode and prefill groups in either ordering. Execution uses row-based sub-plans and writes directly to contiguous output slices when possible.
Paged KV and output-buffer support
3rdparty/patches/msa_strided_paged_kv.patch
Paged HND inputs preserve compatible strides. sparse_atten_func accepts validated BF16 contiguous output buffers and copies results when required.
Staged sparse planning and page-table caching
3rdparty/patches/msa_strided_paged_kv.patch, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_backend.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_utils.py
Planner lengths remain on the host for page-index construction. Page indices use vectorized CPU operations. Page tables use device gathers and plan-level caching.
Structured slot mapping and validation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/common.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/cache_manager.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_utils.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/triton_metadata.py, tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/test_minimax_m3_msa_backend.py
PagedKvSlotMapping returns device mappings and host block IDs. Metadata consumers use the new result shape. CUTLASS compatibility aliases and pinned host buffers support the new path. Tests cover page boundaries, empty sequences, mixed batches, and padded rows.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4561

This PR changes page-table construction and sparse-attention planning, but the current head still has a cache-invalidation risk where reusing a kv_indices buffer could produce stale page tables and incorrect attention results. Targeted boundary-test and lint follow-up is also outstanding, so merge should wait for the cache issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

624-671: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The page-table cache can return a stale table when the caller reuses buffers.

_page_table_for_plan treats the cache as valid when the kv_segment_lens object identity, the kv_indices data pointer, the element count, and the geometry match. _version_token returns None for inference tensors, so the content check is disabled on the serving path. The MSA backend writes each step's page ids into one persistent msa_kv_indices buffer with copy_, so the data pointer and element count do not change between steps. If the same plan dict and the same lengths object also survive a step, the cache returns the previous step's page table with new contents ignored.

Add a step or generation token to the cache key, or clear _page_table_cache when the plan is refreshed.

tensor.stride(0) >= 0 never fails for these inputs.

A page-strided view produced by slicing a pool always has a non-negative outer stride. The check adds no protection. The data_ptr and outer-stride byte-alignment checks carry the real TMA requirement. Removing the redundant term keeps the condition readable.

Clamping the gather index hides an inconsistent page count.

src is clamped to kv_indices.numel() - 1. Padded columns are masked to zero afterwards, so the clamp is only needed for padding. If a real request's page run exceeds kv_indices, the clamp silently reads the last page id instead of failing. Consider asserting that starts[-1] + pages[-1] <= kv_indices.numel() before the gather.

Prefer attribute access over positional unpacking.

build_paged_kv_slot_mapping now returns PagedKvSlotMapping. Positional unpacking still works, but it ties these two call sites to the field order. msa_backend.py already reads the named fields. Using mapping.req_to_token, mapping.slot_ids, and mapping.out_cache_loc here keeps both consumers consistent and survives a future field addition.

Add a bound check on the required page count.

col reaches pages[b] - 1 for each request. If a request's kv_len implies more pages than block_ids_cpu.shape[1], the gather raises a bare IndexError with no context. A single check makes the mismatch between the KV lengths and the block table explicit.

267-301: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

These three properties re-pin on every access.

maybe_pin_memory returns the input unchanged only when the tensor is already pinned. self.seq_lens is pinned upstream, so msa_qo_lens_cpu is free in the common case. msa_qo_offset_cpu always computes kv - qo, which produces an unpinned tensor, so every access allocates pinned host memory and copies. prepare() reads these properties in both _build_msa_fields and _build_step_plans, so the step pays the cost several times.

Consider computing the three tensors once per step in prepare() and storing them, then having the properties return the stored values.

Input preparation for a MiniMax-M3 MSA step spent most of its host time in
work that either blocked on the CUDA queue or launched a burst of tiny
kernels, leaving the GPU idle between iterations:

* get_block_ids_per_seq built one tensor per request and joined them with
  pad_sequence, a per-request Python loop landing in pageable memory. It now
  fills a single zero-filled pinned int32 tensor through a numpy view.
* build_kv_page_indices recovered each request's page ids by gathering the
  first slot of every page out of req_to_token on the device, five tiny
  kernels per request per step. The work is redundant: req_to_token is built
  as block_id * tokens_per_block + offset, so req_to_token[b, p * page_size]
  // page_size is just block_ids[b, p], a value the host already has. The
  table is built there instead and the slot mapping hands the host block ids
  back so no second manager query or device round trip is needed.
* out_cache_loc was built by reading req_to_token one new token at a time
  with .item(), a window that scales with context length. The same slot ids
  follow from the host block ids by expanding the per-request lengths, so
  they are computed there and staged with one asynchronous copy.
* The per-request length mirrors are pinned and staged non-blocking, so
  their copies no longer end in a cudaStreamSynchronize.
* sparse_fmha_plan staged its length inputs with blocking copies and read
  total_q back through cu_seqlens_q[-1].item(). It now stages once,
  asynchronously, and takes every scalar from the host copy.
  kv_segment_lens stays on the host in the returned plan: only the
  page-table builder consumes it, and it reads per-request page counts on
  the host, while the kernels take their lengths from cu_seqlens_k and
  seqused_k. That subsumes _stage_sparse_plan_kv_lens_host, which patched
  the same field from the backend after the fact, so it is dropped.

Cherry-picked from NVIDIA#16875 on feat/m3_with_msa. The parts of that PR that
turn on an MSA on_update_kv_lens override are dropped: main's MSA metadata
has no such override, nor the device mirrors (msa_req_to_token,
msa_q_batch_row, msa_q_intra, msa_qo_lens_dev) it patches through, so there
is nothing here to make sync-free, clamp against a staged snapshot, or
redirect from kv_segment_lens to seqused_k. The eager empty-block
short-circuit that PR removes likewise does not exist on main, so its
replacement clamp is left out and the eager valid-block counts keep main's
unclamped staging. The two run_indexer test fakes it repairs cover
head-major routing and the FP8 index-K producer, neither of which main
carries.

In a mixed batch (context plus generation requests in one step)
fmha_sm100_plan recognized only decode-first ordering, but TensorRT-LLM
always orders context requests first. has_mixed was therefore always false
and the whole batch was planned as a single sparse-prefill call, dragging
every generation row through the MM-SA-Nv prefill kernel.

_mixed_batch_split now also recognizes prefill-first ordering, restricted to
sparse plans so the proxy and dense plans stay byte-identical (the proxy's
max-score output drives top-k block selection). The sparse GQA plan then
covers only the context rows and generation rows route to the paged decode
kernel. Since each half of a split plan now writes its own rows of the
caller's output buffer, out= is plumbed through sparse_fmha,
sparse_atten_func and _sparse_atten_csr_varlen_forward, which removes a
full-size concatenate plus copy from every split call.

Cherry-picked from NVIDIA#16923 on feat/m3_with_msa, whose changes outside the
submodule patch do not apply here: the msa_backend.py hunk is a comment
inside an on_update_kv_lens override main's MSA metadata does not have, and
main carries no MSA patch-marker check for the new fmha_sm100.api symbol to
extend. Rebased onto main's copy of the patch, which carries a later
revision of the _prepare_paged_hnd_input hunk and its tests; the interface.py
hunk offsets are adjusted for those three extra lines.

Verified with `patch -p1 --forward --batch` against MSA e2ebe76 (the pinned
submodule commit): all four files apply with no fuzz or offset, the reverse
dry run still succeeds, and the patched sources parse.

…le build_kv_page_indices signature

PR NVIDIA#17986 narrowed build_kv_page_indices to take the host block-id table
directly instead of (req_to_token, slot_ids, ...), and PR NVIDIA#17842 merged
47 minutes later with tests still calling the four-argument form, so
_flat_page_table raised TypeError before either kernel ran.

The helper now wants exactly what these tests already hold, so drop the
req_to_token reconstruction and pass block_table on the host. The page ids
are unchanged: the old form gathered

slot_ids was an identity map.

Both A/B tests now reach their fmha_sm100 comparison and agree with it, so
