📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds recurrent KDA backward support for fixed and packed sequences on SM100a and SM103a. The change includes reusable workspaces, CUDA Graph support, low-, high-, and C16-route kernels, JIT/AOT integration, validation tests, documentation, and a CUPTI benchmark. ChangesRecurrent KDA backward
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new backward API can accept undersized tensors for several inputs, allowing out-of-bounds GPU accesses instead of rejecting invalid calls. It also lacks tracing support and documents incompatible environment and dtype requirements, so the PR is not merge-ready until the tensor validation and contract issues are addressed.

Use flashinfer.utils helpers for the architecture skip.
_require_cuda and _require_sm103a re-implement capability gating with raw torch.cuda calls. The repository guideline requires test files to use flashinfer.utils functions to skip tests on unsupported GPU architectures. Replace the capability probe with the shared helper, for example flashinfer.utils.get_compute_capability(torch.device("cuda")), so the gate stays consistent with the rest of the suite.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Validate the element counts of every TMA-encoded tensor.
EncodeTokenTensor hardcodes the global extent to kTokens * kHeads * kHeadDim, and EncodeBetaTensor hardcodes kHeads * kTokens. RunC16 is an exported FFI entry point, so any caller can reach it directly. CheckNumel currently covers only q, beta, initial_state, state_checkpoints, and the two work-item tensors. k, v, g, do_, forward_out, dv, and beta_active are TMA-encoded without a size check, so an undersized tensor produces out-of-bounds device accesses instead of a clear error.
Add CheckNumel for each TMA-encoded tensor, and for the remaining gradient and scratch tensors that the kernels index by fixed extents.

Summary
recurrent_kda_training_forwardandrecurrent_kda_training_backwardAPIs for exact SM100a and SM103a Blackwell targetsRelated to #4254.
Supported training routes
The route predicates select an implementation; they are not API guards. The public contract is:
[B, T, H, 128]tensors withB >= 1cu_seqlens1 / sqrt(128), and the safe-gate lower bound is-5.0For C16, the accurate full-state recurrence writes token output to private scratch so the training route's output remains public. For C32, that recurrence supplies the public token output while the chunked tape and checkpoints remain saved as backward context. Row-split directly produces its public output and final state.
