Description

On the PyTorch backend, a request's LoRA adapter is loaded in BaseWorker._enqueue_request with the request's LoRARequest.lora_ckpt_source. When the adapter is not in the PEFT cache, PeftCacheManager.add_request_peft loads it again on every rank, but used the server-level LoraConfig.lora_ckpt_source for that load instead of the request's.

This change carries the request's checkpoint format to the executor next to py_lora_path (as py_lora_ckpt_source). It is set in BaseWorker, broadcast with the other per-request Python objects, and stored on LlmRequest. add_request_peft now reloads the adapter with the request's format. Requests that carry no per-request format still use the LoraConfig value.

Test Coverage

  • New unit tests in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_resource_manager.py:
    • test_add_request_peft_reloads_with_request_ckpt_source
    • test_add_request_peft_reload_defaults_to_config_ckpt_source
  • End-to-end with trtllm-serve (TinyLlama-1.1B, single GPU), before and after the change: requests without LoRA and with NeMo-format and HF-format LoRA adapters; after the change each adapter is reloaded in its request's format.
  • Existing LoRA tests: tests/unittest/others/test_lora_manager.py, the NeMo LoRA tests in tests/unittest/llmapi/test_llm_pytorch.py, and tests/unittest/llmapi/test_request_priority.py.

PR Checklist

  • PR description clearly explains what and why.
  • Test cases are provided for new code paths.

…tted with

On the PyTorch backend, BaseWorker loads a request's LoRA adapter at
enqueue time using the request's LoRARequest.lora_ckpt_source, and
PeftCacheManager.add_request_peft loads it again on each rank when it is
not cached. The second load used the server-level
LoraConfig.lora_ckpt_source, so a request whose format differed from the
server's was re-read from different files on the executor thread, and an
error in that load stopped the executor loop for all requests.

Carry the request's checkpoint format to the executor as
py_lora_ckpt_source next to py_lora_path, and use it in
add_request_peft, falling back to LoraConfig.lora_ckpt_source when the
request carries none.

Walkthrough

LoRA checkpoint-source metadata now travels with each request through executor request construction and broadcasting. Adapter loading uses the request’s source when available and otherwise uses the configured source.

Changes

LoRA checkpoint source propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture and propagate request metadata
tensorrt_llm/executor/base_worker.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/request_utils.py
BaseWorker captures the adapter’s checkpoint source. LlmRequest stores it, and RequestBroadcaster includes it with the broadcast request objects.
Select source for adapter loading
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_resource_manager.py
PeftCacheManager.add_request_peft uses the request’s checkpoint source when present and falls back to the configured source. Tests cover request-level "hf" and "nemo" sources and the configured-source fallback.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juney-nvidia, lori-ren, eopxd

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 85321

The implementation is covered at the loader boundary, but admission and non-root propagation paths still lack focused regression tests, so merge risk is bounded but should be addressed.

488-488: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Test request checkpoint-source propagation from admission.

The new resource-manager tests set py_lora_ckpt_source directly on LlmRequest. They do not exercise BaseWorker._enqueue_request, which copies request.lora_request.ckpt_source to the executor request, or the conversion that copies it into LlmRequest.

Add a test that submits a LoRA request with a checkpoint source different from the server source. Assert that the executor request and converted LlmRequest retain the request source. Place it with the existing request-admission tests, or add it to tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_resource_manager.py.

Cover checkpoint-source delivery to non-root ranks.

The new loader tests do not exercise RequestBroadcaster. Add a broadcaster test with different request and server formats. Assert that the non-root request receives py_lora_ckpt_source for the correct request ID. Include a request without source metadata to cover the fallback path.
