📌 Description

download_artifacts() never pre-fetches the DSL_FMHA (cute-dsl) kernels: get_available_cubin_files scrapes the artifactory HTML index with a .cubin-only regex, and the cute-dsl kernels ship as TVM-FFI .so files. The directories are explicitly listed in get_subdir_file_list(), and each directory's checksums.txt is downloaded, so on disk the cache looks complete while every kernel the manifest lists is absent — and the run finishes with a full progress bar, because the post-download checksum loop only iterates the files it enumerated. The missing kernels are then fetched lazily over HTTP inside the first forward pass that needs them, which under a serving workload blocks the scheduler mid-collective (see #4432 for a production trace: 960 files silently missing, watchdog abort, ~2 h reload).

This PR makes each directory's checksums.txt manifest the source of truth for what to download:

  • get_subdir_file_list() now yields every file the manifest lists (the manifest is generated by the publishing pipeline, already fetched by get_checksums(), and pinned by SHA-256 via CheckSumHash.map_checksums), instead of re-scraping the HTML index with extension regexes. Every published artifact is therefore downloaded and checksum-verified, and a failed/unparseable index listing can no longer masquerade as an empty directory.
  • get_available_cubin_files()'s regex is additionally widened to match .so alongside .cubin (and made a proper capture group), so the scraper is no longer silently wrong for callers/tests that use it directly.
  • The three meta-info headers (FMHA, GEMM, BMM) keep their explicit yields via a tuple, so ordering and behavior for them is unchanged.

Chosen over just widening the regex everywhere because the manifest already exists, is already fetched, and is authoritative — scraping would stay one unanticipated extension away from the same silent failure.

🚀 Pull Request Checklist

✅ Pre-commit Checks

  • I have installed pre-commit by running pip install pre-commit (or used your preferred method).
  • I have installed the hooks with pre-commit install.
  • I have run the hooks manually and fixed any reported issues (pre-commit run --files flashinfer/artifacts.py tests/test_artifacts.py — trailing-whitespace, tabs, CRLF, mypy, ruff check, ruff format all pass).

🧪 Tests

  • Tests have been added or updated as needed.
  • All tests are passing: pytest tests/test_artifacts.py -q10 passed (macOS arm64, CPU; the module is GPU-free and uses responses mocks). New tests: test_get_available_cubin_files_matches_so (a realistic cute-dsl directory index: .so kernels + a .cubin are enumerated, checksums.txt/LICENSE excluded) and test_get_subdir_file_list (manifest-driven enumeration yields the .so kernels with their checksums end-to-end); the pre-existing .cubin-only and non-200 tests still pass unchanged. Later commits add test_get_checksums_rejects_tampered_manifest (a manifest not matching its CheckSumHash pin is refused before parsing) and test_get_checksums_rejects_traversal_filenames (../, absolute, backslash and C:/ entries are refused as download paths). Rebased onto misc: multi-arch cubins (sm100, 103, 107) in a single artifact #4648's multi-arch packaging: no Rubin-specific paths remain in this diff.

Reviewer Notes

  • Verified on CPU only (no NVIDIA GPU available here); the changed code is the pure-Python download path, exercised fully by the mocked tests. Not verified against the live artifactory.
  • If checksums.txt ever lists files that should not be pre-fetched, manifest-driven enumeration would start downloading them — from a look at current manifests that set is exactly the intended artifact set, but flagging it as the behavioral edge of this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved artifact discovery to recognize both .cubin and .so kernel files.
    • Ensured downloads include all files defined by checksum manifests, including mixed artifact types such as kernel maps.
    • Prevented duplicate metadata entries during artifact enumeration.
    • Added verification for manifest integrity and blocked unsafe filenames that could access files outside the artifact directory.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for mixed kernel formats, architecture-specific checksums, manifest-driven downloads, tampered manifests, and unsafe filenames.

…kernels are pre-fetched

download_artifacts() enumerated files by scraping the artifactory HTML
index with a .cubin-only regex, so the DSL_FMHA (cute-dsl) kernels, which
ship as .so files, were never downloaded even though their directories are
explicitly listed in get_subdir_file_list(). Each directory's
checksums.txt was downloaded regardless, so the cache looked complete
while every kernel it lists was absent, and the missing kernels were then
fetched over HTTP lazily inside the first model forward pass that needed
them.

Drive the enumeration from the per-directory checksums.txt manifests
instead: they are authoritative for the directory contents, are already
fetched by get_checksums(), and are themselves SHA-256 pinned via
CheckSumHash.map_checksums. This also means every manifest entry is
downloaded and checksum-verified by download_artifacts(), so a
listed-but-missing file now fails loudly instead of silently, and the
per-directory HTML index round-trips (and their retry stalls) are gone.

Also widen the retained get_available_cubin_files() helper to match .so
hrefs in addition to .cubin.

Fixes flashinfer-ai#4432

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Artifact discovery now recognizes .cubin and .so files. Directory enumeration uses verified checksum manifests as the source of file paths and includes mixed entries without duplicate metadata headers. Tests cover manifest integrity, filename safety, and manifest completeness.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3206f

Artifact downloads now enumerate checksum-manifest entries, including shared-object kernels, so required kernels are prefetched and verified without an identified merge-blocking risk.

…lenames

The checksums.txt manifests are now the enumeration source for downloads,
so harden that trust boundary: refuse to parse a manifest that does not
match its SHA-256 pin in CheckSumHash.map_checksums, and reject manifest
entries that are absolute or contain '..' segments so an entry can never
direct a write outside FLASHINFER_CUBIN_DIR.

Upstream flashinfer-ai#4648 folded the Rubin cubins into the same trtllm-gen and
deepgemm packages, so ArtifactPath no longer has *_RUBIN members and the
meta-info headers are FMHA, GEMM and BMM only. Conflicts resolved by
taking upstream's cubin_dirs and header list, keeping the manifest-driven
enumeration in get_subdir_file_list() and the manifest-pin / unsafe-name
checks in get_checksums(), and dropping the Rubin cases from
test_get_subdir_file_list() now that upstream covers the full-path keying
in test_get_checksums_keys_by_full_path().

`C:/outside.so` passed the existing absolute / `..` / backslash checks,
and on Windows joining a drive-qualified name onto FLASHINFER_CUBIN_DIR
replaces the cache root instead of nesting under it. Reject any entry
with a non-empty PureWindowsPath(...).drive alongside the other checks,
and add the case to the traversal regression test.

Merged main (#4648 folded the Rubin cubins into the single trtllm-gen / deepgemm packages, so the *_RUBIN paths this branch referenced are gone). Resolution: kept upstream's cubin_dirs and the three meta-info headers, kept the manifest-driven enumeration in get_subdir_file_list() and the manifest-pin / unsafe-filename checks in get_checksums(), and dropped the Rubin cases from test_get_subdir_file_list since test_get_checksums_keys_by_full_path on main now covers the full-path keying. Merged rather than rebased so the review anchors stay valid.

Also picked up the open drive-letter thread in 3206fd6: C:/outside.so is now rejected via PureWindowsPath(filename).drive, with the case added to test_get_checksums_rejects_traversal_filenames.

pytest tests/test_artifacts.py -q → 10 passed (macOS arm64, CPU); pre-commit run --files flashinfer/artifacts.py tests/test_artifacts.py clean. PR description updated to match (three meta-info headers, 10 tests).

download_artifacts() silently skips every DSL_FMHA (cute-dsl) kernel — get_available_cubin_files matches only *.cubin, but those artifacts are *.so
