A transfer that the backend completes inside postXfer makes postXferReq return NIXL_SUCCESS, and getXferStatus marks only requests still in progress, so such a transfer recorded no nixl::xfer.complete. Mark it in postXferReq on NIXL_SUCCESS, under the request's context, so a successful post is marked once whether it completes at once or later. The test recorder now writes a line for marks, and agent unit tests cover a post completed at once, completed later, posted twice and failed. NIX-2261 Signed-off-by: Efraim Eygin <eeygin@nvidia.com>
The repost check in postXferReq and releaseXferReq can be the first calls to see a transfer complete, and neither recorded nixl::xfer.complete. Both now mark it when their checkXfer returns NIXL_SUCCESS, under the request's context, so every completed post is marked once, whichever call sees it first. A transfer that releaseXferReq cancels is not marked. Telemetry is unchanged. NIX-2261 Signed-off-by: Efraim Eygin <eeygin@nvidia.com>
ai-dynamo#2467 merged first and rewrote the recorder sentence to count emitted spans and events. This change makes mark() write a line as well, so the sentence names marks. NIX-2261 Signed-off-by: Efraim Eygin <eeygin@nvidia.com>

🤖 CI Triage Agent — TL;DR: The Full analysisSummary: Stage "Run DL NIXL EP tests" (node 207) failed on the third sub-test — Root cause: Not a timeout and not a node fault: the two NVLink elastic runs passed cleanly (448–505 GB/s, phases 0–3 complete, including the planned SIGTERM fault-injection), and the log shows continuous activity to the end. The RDMA run fails immediately at connection setup:
The reason UCX can't find a device-capable lane is the test's own environment handling. In unset UCX_NET_DEVICES # line 72

What?
nixl::xfer.completeis now recorded once per completed post, under the request's trace context, by whichever call first sees the transfer complete:postXferReqwhen the backend completes it insidepostXfer, and otherwisegetXferStatus, a repost of the same request, orreleaseXferReq. Until now onlygetXferStatusrecorded it.Why?
A transfer completed at once, or first seen complete by a repost or a release, had no completion on the timeline: in the
tracing_nsyscapture, 17 of 50 UCX posts had none (NIX-2261, under NIX-1537).How?
Details
postXferorcheckXfercall that returnsNIXL_SUCCESS, under the request's correlation scope:postXferReqalready opens one, andreleaseXferReqnow opens one asgetXferStatusdoes. Each check runs only on a request still in progress, so no completion is marked twice. A transfer thatreleaseXferReqcancels is not marked, although its status ends asNIXL_SUCCESS.postXferReqrestarts the request's timer before its repost check, so that needs its own change.mark()now writes a line, as a zero-length span.recorderTracingAgentFixtureinunit/agent/agent.cppcovers a post completed at once, one completed later and seen by the status check, a repost or a release, a request posted twice, and a failed post.docs/tracing.mdnames the calls that emit the marker.Summary by CodeRabbit
