Dev Engineer Review

  • Added DisaggTransferCoordinator as the single entry point for disaggregated KV-transfer operations.
  • Added NoopDisaggCoordinator for executors without a KV-cache transceiver.
  • Routed disaggregation call sites through the coordinator.
  • Preserved scheduling and transfer behavior.
  • Added lazy coordinator construction.
  • Kept the coordinator module independent of PyExecutor.
  • Timeout checks remain unchanged and require a follow-up change.
  • No configuration or test-list files changed.

QA Engineer Review

Modified test code in:

  • test_disagg_coordinator.py
    • Tests coordinator independence from PyExecutor.
    • Tests delegate coverage and forwarding.
    • Tests no-op admission and loop-call behavior.
  • test_disagg_loop_transcript.py
    • Tests call ordering for non-overlap, overlap, and pipeline-parallel loops.
    • Tests pipeline-parallel collective-call symmetry.
    • Tests shutdown handling.
  • test_send_kv_async_split.py
    • Updates the connector-only expectation when no KV-cache transceiver exists.

These tests are not listed in tests/integration/test_lists/. No test-db/ or qa/ coverage entry is reported.

Verdict: needs follow-up because integration test-list coverage is not established.

Description

This PR introduces DisaggTransferCoordinator as the single entry point through which the three executor loops (_executor_loop, _executor_loop_overlap, _executor_loop_pp) drive disaggregated KV transfer, and routes the 27 existing disagg call sites in py_executor.py through it. Every coordinator method is a one-line delegation back to the existing private executor method, so the PR is behavior-preserving: the disagg state machine does not move yet. It builds the landing spot and the protection net that the follow-up change sets (CS-1..CS-3) need to move that logic out of PyExecutor one block at a time.

Part of the transceiver-abstraction series; depends on #18178 (contract hardening) and #18186 (_send_kv_async split), both merged.

tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/executor/coordinator.py (new)

  • DisaggLoopDelegates: a frozen dataclass of 12 callables, one per existing executor disagg method. Transitional: each field is deleted once the corresponding logic moves into the coordinator.
  • DisaggTransferCoordinator: the executor-facing interface, 12 methods grouped by loop phase, each forwarding to its delegate.
  • NoopDisaggCoordinator: used when the executor has no KV cache transceiver. All methods are no-ops except admit, which returns (fitting, False), exactly what the previous if self.kv_cache_transceiver: guard produced when false.
  • Architecture gate: the module does not import PyExecutor and holds no executor reference; everything is injected as callables.

tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py

  • New lazy property PyExecutor.disagg, built on first use from kv_cache_transceiver (real coordinator or noop) and cached. Lazy rather than eager because ~30 existing tests drive loops on object.__new__(PyExecutor) instances; lazy construction keeps them working unchanged and binds whatever private methods they stubbed.
  • 27 call sites now go through self.disagg.*. A if self.kv_cache_transceiver: guard is removed only when the guarded block contains nothing but disagg calls (the noop coordinator is then equivalent); guards around executor-owned logic (first-token response, guided decoder init, benchmark gate) stay.
  • Deliberately not wired, left for CS-1: the three if transceiver and async_transfer_manager.has_any_inflight_requests(): _check_kv_transfer_timeout() sites, because the inflight guard changes semantics and cannot be replaced by a noop.

Deviations from the implementation plan

  • FakeDist is deferred to CS-2: the coordinator here is pure delegation and calls no dist collective, so FakeDist would only have self-tests; it ships with its first real consumer.
  • interfaces.py (ExecutorHooks / ActiveRequestRegistry) is deferred to CS-1 for the same reason.

Next steps: CS-1 (transfer management: send/reap/timeouts/pacing plus the three unwired sites) and CS-3 (admission and gen-init) own disjoint delegate fields and can proceed in parallel; CS-2 (multi-rank progress consensus, FakeDist) follows CS-1. Each CS moves one block in, deletes its delegates, adds CPU tests against the fake transceiver, and updates the transcript goldens explicitly when a sequence changes.

CS-1 and CS-3 own disjoint delegate fields and can be developed in parallel; CS-2 depends on CS-1 because the progress-consensus methods share transfer-manager and timeout state that CS-1 relocates first.

Test Coverage

New tests (all cpu_only, collected in the CPU stage via the existing unittest/_torch/executor entry):

  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_disagg_coordinator.py (5): the coordinator module has no import edge to py_executor (AST check); every public method is backed by a delegate, so no method on the real coordinator can silently no-op and drop a collective; arguments and admit's result are forwarded; the noop variant admits everything unchanged and accepts every loop call.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_disagg_loop_transcript.py (6): drives one idle iteration plus shutdown through the real loop bodies (executor helpers stubbed; disagg call points and the two ADP-synchronized flushes recorded) and pins the exact call sequence for the non-overlap, overlap, and PP loops, the last for both the first and a non-first PP rank. A cross-rank test asserts that the collective-sensitive subset of calls is identical between the two PP ranks. Pinned facts: the non-overlap loop runs _handle_kv_transfer_timeouts_synced before _flush_pending_transfer_responses, the overlap loop the reverse, and the PP loop does not flush at shutdown. Rank symmetry is checked only in this single-process form; multi-rank blocking semantics remain with the Gloo tests and the FakeDist arriving in CS-2. Disagg PP termination is not reached by an idle iteration and is left to the PR-5 transcripts.

Adapted tests:

  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_send_kv_async_split.py: one expectation adjusted; with no transceiver the disagg send leg is skipped by the noop coordinator instead of returning inside its own guard.

Existing tests that now exercise the coordinator path unchanged (lazy disagg binds their stubs): test_disagg_index_mapper_early_release.py, test_benchmark_disagg.py, test_py_executor.py, test_kv_pool_rebalance.py.

Validation: pytest tests/unittest/_torch/executor -m cpu_only and -m "not cpu_only" are green (1899 passed across the directory). Running the whole directory in one process without a marker filter fails TestIdleDisaggLoopPacing[nothing_pending] on main as well: that test patches the global time.sleep and is polluted by daemon HangDetector threads leaked by earlier tests, which CI never co-schedules with it. Unrelated to this PR; to be fixed separately. Behavior preservation is further covered by the existing disaggregated GPU tests (disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py, accuracy/test_disaggregated_serving.py).

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Added DisaggTransferCoordinator and NoopDisaggCoordinator. PyExecutor routes disaggregated transfer operations through the coordinator across pipeline, non-overlap, and overlap loops. Tests validate delegation, no-op behavior, call ordering, pipeline rank symmetry, and connector-only sending.

Changes

Disaggregated Transfer Coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Coordinator contract and implementations
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/executor/coordinator.py
Defines injected delegate callbacks, forwards coordinator operations, and admits all requests in the no-op implementation.
PyExecutor coordinator integration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
Adds lazy coordinator construction and routes admission, polling, timeout handling, completion, reaping, sending, and idle pacing through the coordinator.
Coordinator and loop validation
tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_disagg_coordinator.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_disagg_loop_transcript.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_send_kv_async_split.py
Tests delegate forwarding, no-op behavior, loop call ordering, pipeline rank symmetry, and connector-only KV sending.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 08a99

This change centralizes disaggregated KV-transfer loop operations through a coordinator. Most forwarding behavior is covered, but the default context-send reaping path remains untested and should be covered before relying on this refactor broadly.

Complete the type annotations in the new code.

Use Python 3.10+ built-in generics instead of legacy List and Tuple, and add precise annotations for _noop, cls, monkeypatch, and the helper parameters and collection return types in the new coordinator and tests. The test coverage summary is sufficient; no additional coverage change is needed.

Add coverage for the reap_context_sends() default argument.

The modified test is listed through unittest/_torch/executor in the CI test lists. It covers all 12 delegate methods, isolation, and admit propagation, but its generated argument bypasses at_least=0. A regression in the default path can pass undetected. Coverage verdict: insufficient.
