ci: disable sccache for cu134 nvcc - #4682
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe release workflow now tracks the JIT cache setup script. The script disables the nvcc sccache launcher for CUDA 13.4 while keeping the C++ launcher enabled and reporting both settings. ChangesCUDA sccache launcher handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The workflow change can execute untrusted pull-request code on persistent self-hosted runners with access to release or cache credentials, creating a significant repository security risk.

GitHub Actions official documentation pull_request fork GITHUB_TOKEN read-only secrets unavailable self-hosted runners untrusted code
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, workflows triggered by pull requests from forks are subject to strict security limitations to prevent unauthorized access to repository secrets and elevated permissions [1][2]. When a workflow is triggered by a pull request from a forked repository (using the standard pull_request event), the following restrictions apply: - Secrets are unavailable: With the exception of the GITHUB_TOKEN, secrets defined in the repository are not passed to the workflow runner [2][3]. - Read-only GITHUB_TOKEN: The GITHUB_TOKEN is granted read-only permissions [1][4]. Write access is withheld unless the repository settings are explicitly configured to allow it (e.g., via the "Send write tokens to workflows from pull requests" setting) [5][4]. These security measures prevent untrusted code from a fork from accessing sensitive information or modifying the base repository [1]. Regarding self-hosted runners and untrusted code: - GitHub-hosted runners are ephemeral and isolated virtual machines that are destroyed after each job, providing a clean environment [6][7]. - Self-hosted runners are not ephemeral by default and do not provide the same security guarantees [6][7]. If untrusted code from a fork (or any malicious workflow) runs on a self-hosted runner, it can persistently compromise the environment, access secrets, scan internal networks, or steal credentials cached on the host [6][8][9]. - Official documentation strongly advises against using self-hosted runners for public repositories because any user can open a pull request to execute code on that runner [6][10]. If they must be used, they should be strictly isolated, and workflows triggered by untrusted sources should be prevented from running on them [6][9][7]. The pull_request_target event is a notable exception to these rules [1][4]. It runs in the context of the base repository's branch and has access to secrets and a read-write GITHUB_TOKEN [1][5]. However, because this event can execute untrusted code in a trusted context (a pattern known as a "pwn request"), it must be handled with extreme care [11]. Recent updates, such as those in actions/checkout v7, now restrict checking out fork code by default within pull_request_target workflows to mitigate these risks [11].

Do not execute pull-request code on self-hosted runners.
The PR path checks out and executes github.event.pull_request.head.sha on persistent self-hosted runners. Restrict this job to trusted workflow_dispatch runs or use isolated GitHub-hosted runners. Set workflow-level permissions: contents: read, retain contents: write only for create-release, and prevent SCCACHE_AWS_* secrets from entering PR jobs.

## 📌 Description This PR turns `flashinfer-jit-cache` into a small top-level shim backed by independently installable, architecture-specific provider wheels. It retains legacy monolithic cache discovery as a fallback while adding: - provider package metadata and entry-point discovery - exact CUDA architecture matching, including suffixed targets such as `sm90a`, `sm120f`, and `sm121a` - a default installation mode whose shim dependencies name the complete published provider set - a minimal installation mode that selects only an explicitly requested or locally detected provider, with no implicit SM80 baseline - provider wheelhouse build, binary inventory, installation, and JIT-disabled GPU smoke tooling - AOT capability gating so unsupported modules, currently BGMV MoE on SM80, are omitted from that provider rather than failing its build The provider matrix is intentionally independent of the size-pruned monolithic wheel matrix. Architecture-specific wheels may therefore preserve useful native targets such as SM121a without adding them back to every monolithic wheel. Native providers are SASS-only; the shim does not rely on PTX or an SM80 compatibility baseline. ## 🔍 Related Issues - Follow-up design to #3265 - Incorporates current-main behavior from #4469, #4527, #4682, #4711, #4757, and #4760 ## 🧪 Validation ### Provider canaries Two end-to-end CUDA 13.0 canaries have exercised provider build, strict binary inspection, shim/provider installation, provider discovery, top-level import without CUTLASS DSL, and a JIT-disabled `silu_and_mul` numerical smoke: | System | Target | Provider result | | --- | --- | --- | | x86_64 A100 test system | A100 / SM80 | 113.8 MiB; every CUDA-bearing module SM80-only; zero PTX | | DGX Spark | aarch64 GB10 / SM121a | 173.0 MiB; 558 modules; every CUDA-bearing module SM121a-only; zero PTX | The x86_64 A100 artifact was built before the final BGMV capability correction and contained 207 modules. Final-branch source-level SM80 AOT enumeration produces 206 modules with `bgmv_moe` absent, and the associated focused suite passed 30 tests. A final-head SM80 provider wheel still needs to be rebuilt to confirm that exact packaged inventory. The Spark provider could load its packaged BGMV module, but a BGMV numerical invocation exceeded the device's dynamic shared-memory limit (approximately 216 KiB requested versus approximately 101 KiB available). That is a pre-existing kernel/runtime limitation and is outside this packaging change; the independent `silu_and_mul` provider smoke passed. ### Current branch and CI - CodeRabbit passes and all inline review threads are resolved. - Pre-commit, documentation, and public API/documentation checks pass. - The existing monolithic release workflow passes for cu129, cu130, and cu134 on both x86_64 and aarch64. These jobs validate backward compatibility, not provider-wheel publication. - The manually authorized [full PR test run](https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer/actions/runs/33890607699) passes all four cu129/cu130 x64/arm64 AOT build-import jobs, all five A10G JIT shards, and the T4 JIT job. The H100 JIT job is still running as of September 4, 2026. - After the latest review fixes, the focused provider suite passed on an x86_64 A100 test system in a disposable container: 25 passed, 1 warning. `pre-commit`, `bash -n`, and `git diff --check` also pass. The branch is currently mergeable. It will be rebased onto `main` once more before merge; intervening main-branch changes reviewed so far do not alter the provider packaging or AOT capability implementation. ## Remaining Validation Before enabling provider publication in a release workflow: - let the current H100 PR test finish and address any real failure - rebuild the final-head SM80 provider and repeat strict inventory, install, and GPU smoke validation - build and inspect a real cu134 provider artifact; current cu134 CI covers only the legacy wheel and static configuration paths - validate default all-provider installation plus minimal auto-detected and explicit-target installation against a multi-provider wheelhouse - teach `scripts/update_whl_index.py` to recognize provider distribution names - add an artifact-only shadow provider matrix to nightly/release automation and collect size, build-time, homogeneous GPU, and heterogeneous GPU results before changing the public release format ## Reviewer Notes The main policy question is the explicit provider coverage matrix for each CUDA and CPU architecture. The current implementation makes the conservative choices: exact target matching, literal shim dependencies, no closest-lower-architecture inference, no implicit SM80 provider, and normal JIT compilation when no compatible AOT provider is available. This is ready for human review of the package contract, installation UX, and release shape. The remaining items above are release-enablement validation rather than evidence that the architectural split itself has not been exercised. ## 🚀 Pull Request Checklist Thank you for contributing to FlashInfer!
