📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Relax vendored Pandas pytest config by setting xfail_strict = false and add local aligned host allocation/deallocation helpers used by new_delete_memory_resource, replacing previous calls to rmm::detail helpers.

Changes

Pytest xfail_strict configuration update

Layer / File(s) Summary
xfail_strict configuration change
python/cudf/cudf/pandas/scripts/run-pandas-tests.sh
The pytest configuration xfail_strict setting is changed from true to false in the generated pandas-tests/pyproject.toml, relaxing handling of xpasses.

Host memory aligned allocation helpers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Headers and local aligned allocation helpers
cpp/src/utilities/host_memory.cpp
Add <cassert> and <memory> includes and implement local aligned_host_allocate/aligned_host_deallocate that over-allocate, align with std::align, store an offset before the aligned pointer, and use it to free the original allocation.
Use local helpers in memory resource
cpp/src/utilities/host_memory.cpp
Replace calls to rmm::detail::aligned_host_allocate/aligned_host_deallocate with the new local aligned_host_allocate/aligned_host_deallocate in new_delete_memory_resource::allocate_sync and deallocate_sync.

The run for d80b266 failed with an assertion error on the test that xpassed in d80b266.

Given that this is blocking CI and I haven't been able to narrow down the cause of the flakiness yet, I'm going to temporarily change our pytest config to xfail_strict = false for this job.

57-58: 🏗️ Heavy lift

Consider removing xfail markers if tests consistently pass.

The comment references "flaky xpasses," but the PR description states tests "have recently started passing," suggesting consistent passing rather than intermittent behavior. If these tests now pass reliably, removing their xfail markers is the recommended approach per the project's testing guidelines (docs/cudf/source/cudf/developer_guide/testing.md:213-217), which document xfail_strict=true as the standard practice.

Setting xfail_strict = false is appropriate for genuinely flaky tests, but if the tests pass consistently, cleaning up the markers provides clarity and maintains strict xfail handling across the test suite.

This vendors some private rmm methods that were recently moved in

*mostly* the same, but they're not templated (generic?) over `Alloc`.

Adding a "DO NOT MERGE" since I left a /merge earlier, before the C++ changes were required. Once those are reviewed we can remove the label and merge it.

Thanks, this is a better solution than #22686, we should really not depend on rmm::detail in libcudf.

Add targeted unit coverage and a benchmark for this collective-path change.

all_gather_host_data changed AllGather construction behavior; please add a unit test (ordered bytes round-trip across ranks) and a unit benchmark to prevent regressions on this hot path.

Reverts the temporary `xfail_strict=false` setting introduced in #22677. If flaky xpasses surface, we should add them to the skip list and investigate individually rather than globally disabling strict xfail. Leaving `xfail_strict = false` silently allows tests that should be failing to pass without anyone noticing, and then they could start failing again later. We want to make sure we're always trending upwards in our pass rate.

Closes #22681
