…4 split-KV CUTLASS DSL 4.6.1 rejects FlashAttention 4's sm100 split-KV kernel: n_block_first is assigned only inside a branch that turns dynamic once is_split_kv is set, so the DSL sees None on one path and Int32 on the other and refuses the join. The FA4 backend passes num_splits=0, so FA4's heuristic selects split-KV for low-occupancy cross-attention and every FA4 config then fails at pipeline load. Bump nvidia-cutlass-dsl to 4.6.2, which compiles the kernel. quack-kernels pins the DSL by equality, so it moves to 0.6.4 in the same step. flash-attn-4 stays at b19: the failing source is byte-identical from b11 through b19, and b19 compiles on 4.6.2. Add a split-KV regression test. The existing FA4 tests cannot reach that kernel because their K/V is short enough that FA4's heuristic short-circuits to a single split, which is why the breakage reached CI unnoticed.

WalkthroughThe change updates CUTLASS DSL and quack-kernels versions, adds compatibility notes, and introduces a CUDA-gated FA4 split-KV parity test. The test is added to the B200 pre-merge suite, and an existing test waiver is removed. ChangesFA4 split-KV validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The dependency update and split-KV regression test are localized and address the reported compilation failure. The new test has only a minor style omission—type annotations—which does not affect runtime behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Description
CUTLASS DSL 4.6.1 refuses to compile FlashAttention 4's sm100 split-KV kernel, so every VisualGen FA4 attention config dies at pipeline load and
test_ltx2_examplehas been waived since 2026-08-20. This bumps the DSL one patch release and adds the regression test that would have caught it. Details below.nvidia-cutlass-dsl4.6.1 → 4.6.2 — 4.6.1 rejects the split-KV kernel withTYPE_UNSTABLE_JOINonn_block_first: the variable is assigned only inside a branch that turns dynamic onceis_split_kvis set, so the DSL seesNoneon one path andInt32on the other. 4.6.2 accepts it.FlashAttn4Attentionpassesnum_splits=0, so FA4's own heuristic picks the split count, and anything above 1 selects the split-KV kernel. Low-occupancy cross-attention — short Q, long K/V, exactly the LTX-2 audio/video shape — is where it splits.quack-kernels0.6.2 → 0.6.4 — quack pins the DSL by equality, so the two only move together.flash-attn-4stays at4.0.0b19— the failing source is byte-identical from b11 through b19, so this is a compiler-side regression, not a FlashAttention one. b19 compiles cleanly on 4.6.2. Bumping FA4 instead does not work: b20–b24 still carry the defect, and b25+ require DSL >= 4.6.2 anyway and fail on 4.6.1 even without split-KV.requirements.txt,constraints.txt,docker/Dockerfile.multi,security_scanning/pyproject.toml.security_scanning/poetry.lockis deliberately untouched; the nightly PLC pipeline regenerates and checks it in.test_ltx2_examplewaiver removed — the test is unblocked by this change.test_fa4_split_kv.py— pins the split-KV kernel that no existing test reaches. Keeping the DSL current instead of forcingnum_splits=1also preserves the split-KV speedup this backend opted into.Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_fa4_split_kv.py— FA4 output vs SDPA at a short-Q/long-K-V shape, parametrized overnum_splits=0(the production auto path) andnum_splits=8(forced, so the case cannot silently stop covering split-KV if the upstream heuristic changes).Mutation-verified on B200 (sm100), ~5s total:
TYPE_UNSTABLE_JOIN: n_block_firstatflash_fwd_sm100.py:1476The gap this closes: no existing FA4 test reaches the split-KV kernel. Driving
_flash_attn_fwd(num_splits=0)at each existing test's exact shape on the broken 4.6.1 stack — the new test's shape included as a positive control, so "everything passed" cannot be confused with a broken probe:test_attention_integrationself/cross equivalence (d32)test_attention_integrationself/cross equivalence (d128)test_attention_integrationwan_shapestest_attention_integrationwan_shapestest_fa4_key_padding_maskself-attntest_fa4_key_padding_maskcross-attnTheir K/V is short enough that FA4's heuristic short-circuits at
num_n_blocks <= 4and returns a single split, so all of them pass on the broken stack. That is why the breakage reached CI unnoticed.Also confirmed on B200 that
examples/visual_gen/models/ltx2.pywithconfigs/ltx2-fp4-1gpu.yamlreproduces the exact CI failure on currentmain(Worker 0: Failed to load pipeline, exit 1), and that the same kernel compiles under 4.6.2.Notes for reviewers
NVBugs 6640776 and 6641122 are duplicates of this same failure; the waiver removed here is keyed to 6641122. PR #18145 targets the same defect with the same version bumps, plus two unrelated import-hardening refactors; this PR is the dependency fix and its regression test only.
