📌 Description

This adds those two attributes to the kernel hash and restores the selection knobs that go with them, so the variants are both distinguishable and addressable. It re-lands the trtllm-gen FMHA changes reverted in c04ed08 ("Revert trtllm-gen FMHA rubin-specific features", #4122), rebased onto the current launcher.

Changes

  • Hash (fmhaKernels.cuh): hash mFp16Softmax and mUsesSpcompress. The key was full
    at bit 62, so the enum fields are now packed to their real width (qkvLayout 2,
    maskType 3, kernelType 3, tileScheduler 2) instead of a round 4 bits each. That frees
    the two bits and leaves 57–63 spare. The tightened fields are range-checked so an
    out-of-range enum fails loudly rather than aliasing onto its neighbour. The key is a
    private lookup key that nothing persists, so the layout is free to move as long as both
    hash entry points move with it.
  • Params (fmhaRunnerParams.h): mUseFp16Softmax / mUsesSpcompress on
    TllmGenFmhaRunnerParams and TllmGenSelectKernelParams.
  • Plumbing (trtllm_fmha_kernel_launcher.cu, prefill.py, mla/_core.py, decode.py):
    use_fp16_softmax / uses_spcompress through the paged/ragged/context launchers, the
    prefill wrappers, and MLA decode — including the cute-dsl incompatibility check that
    rejects use_fp16_softmax on that backend.
  • Tests (test_trtllm_gen_mla.py): use_fp16_softmax coverage from the original change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds FP16-softmax and sparse-compression selectors to TRT-LLM attention APIs. The selectors propagate through Python and CUDA launch paths, runner parameters, kernel hashing, backend validation, and MLA and prefill tests.

Changes

TRT-LLM attention variants

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kernel selection and runner contracts
include/flashinfer/trtllm/fmha/fmhaKernels.cuh, include/flashinfer/trtllm/fmha/fmhaRunnerParams.h
Runner parameters and kernel hash keys encode both selectors. Packed fields use validated widths. CUDA shared-memory guards require CUDA 13.4.
Launcher and API propagation
csrc/trtllm_fmha_kernel_launcher.cu, flashinfer/decode.py, flashinfer/mla/_core.py, flashinfer/prefill.py
Paged decode, paged context, ragged attention, MLA decode, and prefill APIs accept and forward selector values. Unsupported paths keep selectors disabled or reject them.
Feature validation and test coverage
flashinfer/utils.py, tests/attention/test_trtllm_gen_mla.py, tests/attention/test_trtllm_gen_attention_prefill.py
SM107-only validation, backend restrictions, sparse-compression references, tolerance handling, and parameterized variant coverage are added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fff50

This change adds FP16-softmax and sparse-compression selectors across attention launch paths, but the current head still has concrete correctness risks: some MLA paths can silently ignore the requested precision mode, autotune entries can collide between kernel variants, and packed kernel-hash inputs are not fully validated. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

3897-3921: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix: use_fp16_softmax is silently dropped for the "sparse" backend and the compact/ragged-Q cute-dsl path.

The docstring for use_fp16_softmax states: "Only supported by backend="trtllm-gen"; passing True to other backends raises ValueError." Two code paths do not honor this contract.

In the has_var_q branch, _cute_dsl_incompatibility_reason is called at Line 4014 without use_fp16_softmax. When backend="cute-dsl" (explicit) or backend="auto" falls back to cute-dsl for this variable-Q shape, cute_dsl_reason never reflects a requested use_fp16_softmax=True. Execution proceeds to cute_dsl_mla_decode(...) at Line 4109, which never receives the flag either. The call silently runs with the standard-precision softmax instead of raising an error or honoring the request.

The backend == "sparse" branch at Line 3897 has the same gap: it dispatches to _trtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_v32_sm120 without checking use_fp16_softmax at all.

Both cases contradict the documented "raises ValueError" contract and can silently change numerical output for the caller.

Include use_fp16_softmax in get_cache_key_extras. AutoTuner does not key on runner-list identity or order. The TRT-LLM runner hash is class-stable, so both softmax modes share the same cache entry and can reuse the other mode’s profiling result.

Include use_fp16_softmax in the autotune cache key.

use_fp16_softmax selects a different TRTLLM-GEN cubin. get_cache_key_extras() does not include this selector. Calls with standard and FP16-softmax variants can share one cache entry and reuse a runner selection for the wrong variant. Add the normalized selector to the cache-key tuple.

The matrix expands to 72 cases, and each case builds large dense reference tensors.

_spcompress_reference materializes [num_qo_heads, seq_len_q, seq_len_kv] fp32 logits plus grouped, topk-index, and boolean-mask temporaries of comparable size. At max_q_len=3023 and max_kv_len=8192 each temporary is in the hundreds of megabytes, and the parametrization runs that path 72 times.

Consider trimming the length pairs, or restricting the largest max_q_len/max_kv_len combination to one dtype triple, to keep runtime and peak memory bounded on CI runners.

- Around line 854-892: Reduce the parametrization in
test_trtllm_batch_prefill_cubin_variants to avoid repeatedly materializing large
_spcompress_reference tensors: trim the max_q_len/max_kv_len combinations or
restrict the largest pair to a single dtype triple, while retaining
representative coverage of the cubin variants and keeping CI memory and runtime
bounded.

2:4 top-2 selection can diverge from the kernel on near-ties.

The reference selects the retained pair from fp32 logits. The kernel computes logits at reduced precision. When two logits inside a group of 4 are close, the two implementations can retain different K positions. The retained/dropped element then differs by a full softmax term, not by a rounding step.

The spcompress path reuses the existing fp8 tolerances and allowed_mismatch_rate = 1e-7, so a single divergent selection fails the test. Consider allowing a small mismatch rate when uses_spcompress is set, so the assertion stays sensitive to real errors but tolerates boundary selections.

♻️ Suggested tolerance relaxation for the spcompress path
-    allowed_mismatch_rate = 0.10 if kv_dtype == "nvfp4" else 1e-7
+    if kv_dtype == "nvfp4":
+        allowed_mismatch_rate = 0.10
+    elif uses_spcompress:
+        # 2:4 top-2 retention is a discrete decision; near-ties can resolve
+        # differently between the fp32 reference and the kernel's logits.
+        allowed_mismatch_rate = 1e-3
+    else:
+        allowed_mismatch_rate = 1e-7

## 📌 Description

This adds those two attributes to the kernel hash and restores the
selection knobs that go with them, so the variants are both
distinguishable and addressable. It re-lands the trtllm-gen FMHA changes
reverted in c04ed08 ("Revert trtllm-gen FMHA rubin-specific features",
#4122), rebased onto the current launcher.

## Changes

- **Hash** (`fmhaKernels.cuh`): hash `mFp16Softmax` and
`mUsesSpcompress`. The key was full
at bit 62, so the enum fields are now packed to their real width
(`qkvLayout` 2,
`maskType` 3, `kernelType` 3, `tileScheduler` 2) instead of a round 4
bits each. That frees
the two bits and leaves 57–63 spare. The tightened fields are
range-checked so an
out-of-range enum fails loudly rather than aliasing onto its neighbour.
The key is a
private lookup key that nothing persists, so the layout is free to move
as long as both
  hash entry points move with it.
- **Params** (`fmhaRunnerParams.h`): `mUseFp16Softmax` /
`mUsesSpcompress` on
  `TllmGenFmhaRunnerParams` and `TllmGenSelectKernelParams`.
- **Plumbing** (`trtllm_fmha_kernel_launcher.cu`, `prefill.py`,
`mla/_core.py`, `decode.py`):
`use_fp16_softmax` / `uses_spcompress` through the paged/ragged/context
launchers, the
prefill wrappers, and MLA decode — including the cute-dsl
incompatibility check that
  rejects `use_fp16_softmax` on that backend.
- **Tests** (`test_trtllm_gen_mla.py`): `use_fp16_softmax` coverage from
the original change.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added optional FP16 softmax selection for supported TRT-LLM paged,
ragged, context, decode, and MLA attention workflows.
- Added optional sparse-compression kernel selection for supported paged
and ragged attention workflows.
- Options remain disabled by default and are unavailable on unsupported
backends or hardware.

- **Bug Fixes**
  - Improved attention kernel selection across supported configurations.
- Added clear validation errors when SM107-only features are used on
incompatible devices.

- **Tests**
- Expanded coverage across model dimensions, batch sizes, page sizes,
and query lengths.
