Enforce num_heads == 128 for these TMA epilogues.
The head_idx_1 < num_heads guard protects only the partial-LSE write. The TMA store uses a {64, 1, 1, 32} box without a head bound. CTA rank 1 starts at query_idx_1 * num_heads + 64 + head_row_base_1. For num_heads < 128, this coordinate can target the next query and overwrite its output. Reject other head counts before launching these four variants. If other head counts are required, use a TMA descriptor and store path with a bounded fourth-dimension extent.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Add a trailing cluster barrier. A CTA can exit while its outgoing DSMEM bulk copy still reads its shared memory.
Both parity-partitioned kernels push partial O values and statistics to the peer CTA with cp.async.bulk.shared::cluster.shared::cta. Completion of this copy goes only to the peer's merge_full. Each CTA waits only on its own merge_full for the incoming copy, then finishes the epilogue, deallocates TMEM, and exits. No cluster barrier runs at "// Cleanup", and the round-6 peer handshake was removed.
CUDA requires distributed shared memory operations to finish before a block exits. If a block exits early, its source buffers can go to a new CTA while the peer still reads them. The peer then merges corrupted data.

Check that O is 32-byte aligned before launch.
The kernel now writes the output with st.global.v8.b32. That instruction needs a 32-byte-aligned address. The old uint4 store needed only 16 bytes. The launcher checks only that O is on CUDA, has the right dtype and is contiguous.
A contiguous view that starts partway into a buffer can have a data_ptr() that is only 16-byte aligned. One example is a sliced output buffer. For such a view, every vector store is misaligned and the kernel fails with a misaligned-address error.
Rejecting such a tensor on the host gives a clear ValueError instead of a failure inside the kernel.

317 - 319:
Add a host-side alignment check after the existing checks for `arg_O` in the
launcher, requiring its data pointer to be 32-byte aligned before kernel launch.
Reject misaligned outputs with a `ValueError` and a clear message about the
`v8.b32` store requirement.

…0/SM103: one launcher-helper header, shared split-merge reducers, data-only loader, route rejections up front (#5920) > Developed by the **CAKE team**, the kernels in this PR **outperform** the relevant **SOTA baselines at the time of merge** on the **vast majority of performance benchmark shapes**, matching them otherwise. Closes #5794 ## What changes `csrc/cake_dsv4` goes from 111 files to 98 and the loader from 2,643 to 888 lines without changing a single compiled kernel: every kernel body of the two targets is byte-identical before and after (SASS equivalence, 25 == 25 per architecture). - **Program layer removed.** The 10 `cake_dsv4_family_*_binding.cu` host libraries and the matching `programs` half of the registry only re-dispatched to the per-variant launchers that the Python host already calls directly. `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py` is now a data-only registry (`_ARCH_REGISTRATIONS`) plus `get_cake_dsv4_spec` / `gen_cake_dsv4_module` / `get_cake_dsv4_module`; the 14 distinct argument plans are named constants instead of 50 inlined copies. JIT spec names, module names and import paths are unchanged. - **Identical kernels shared.** The two sm_103a reducers that are byte-identical to their sm_100a counterparts apart from the hash in the symbol (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`) now live once under `csrc/cake_dsv4/common/`; sm_103a's hash-named `split_reduce_cake_dsv4_*` registry keys become `split_reduce` and `bf16_h128_split5_reduce`. - **One helper header.** The device-guard / contiguity / dtype / dense-fold checks and the SM103 descriptor-slab preparation that were copied into all 48 variant bindings are extracted verbatim into `cake_dsv4_host_shim.h`; each binding keeps only its kernel declaration and launcher. The unused SM-count helper is dropped. - **Descriptor storage follows the descriptor set, from a bounded pool.** The sm_103a bindings that read their TMA descriptors from device memory take host-retained storage per descriptor set. The host used to carve that storage from the caller's workspace, so the second call through one workspace with another KV cache (consecutive layers) failed with `immutable TMA descriptors changed; provide new private descriptor storage`; the new GPU test reproduces this on the unmodified base tree. The host now keeps a bounded pool of private 1 KiB storages per (variant, device), keyed by the TMA source geometry (pointer, shape, strides, dtype of `Q` and the KV caches): a recent set reuses its storage, a new set takes a free or the least recently used one (the binding rewrites a reassigned storage in stream order before the launch), sets launched under CUDA Graph capture are retained for the process lifetime so replays read what they captured, and a capture that reaches a set never launched eagerly raises before any allocation. Pool bookkeeping, the binding's descriptor check and the launch enqueue run under one lock. The workspace layout and `get_cake_dsv4_workspace_bytes` are unchanged (the former slab region stays reserved). - **Two-stage routes launch from one FFI call.** The dispatcher binds the producer and the reducer of a two-stage route first and issues both through the host-only helper `run_sequence` (`csrc/cake_dsv4/cake_dsv4_launch_sequence.cc`), so no host work sits between the two kernels; a paired CUPTI A/B against the base (30 shapes per architecture, interleaved rounds, same inputs) shows every row >= 0.986 and geomean 1.03 (B200) / 1.09 (GB300) with bitwise-equal outputs. - **Rejections up front.** `_route` now raises `ValueError("backend='cake' has no ... kernel ...")` for the shapes that previously reached `_dispatch_route` and failed at launch time (FP8 rows with `sparse_topk > 384` below `max_q_len 257`, BF16 compressed caches outside the covered ragged rows, BF16 H128 with `sparse_topk < 64`). `_route` no longer takes `arch`; the two targets have the same route table. Launching through a variant no longer depends on the deleted program path or on a per-call stream pointer. - **Tests.** `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py`: the per-arch route loops collapse, the rejected shapes are asserted as `ValueError`, two launch-recording tests pin the split-4 / row-first and split-5 + reducer owner sets, and `test_every_route_result_has_a_registered_kernel` sweeps every route result against the registry. `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py` gains `test_same_workspace_serves_different_kv_caches`, a GPU test that issues two different KV caches (then the first again) through one workspace on the SM103 descriptor-storage routes and checks the outputs against the reference each time (fails on the base tree, see above). - The direct launch of the split-5 reducer uses the per-target grid its former program library used: `(tokens, heads / 4, 1)` on sm_103a, `(tokens, heads, 1)` on sm_100a; the launch test pins both. ## Not in this PR (follow-ups on #5794) Template parameters across the per-variant kernels, a by-value descriptor ABI on both targets (which would remove the retained descriptor storage), and merging the remaining near-duplicate SM100/SM103 kernels require regenerating the family from its producer; they are tracked on the issue with the reason. The open DSv4 round PRs (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879) touch the same generated files; the cleanup is scripted so it can be re-applied on top of them (see the issue). Notes: the `*_source_exact` variants stay shape-locked and are only reached for their recorded shapes; `csrc/cake_dsv4/` is excluded from the pre-commit hooks as a generated artifact directory, so the rewritten bindings keep the generated text and only the new shared header is clang-formatted. ## Evidence | gate | result | |---|---| | SASS equivalence sm_103a (base 9f58370 vs this branch, 25 == 25 kernel bodies, 0 missing / 0 introduced) | PASSED (final tree) | | SASS equivalence sm_100a (same base, 25 == 25 kernel bodies, 0 missing / 0 introduced) | PASSED (final tree) | | `pytest tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4.py` (CPU) + `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_hardening.py` (GPU) on B300 (SM103), final tree | 210 passed; 86 passed | | same on B200 (SM100), final tree | 210 passed; 86 passed | | per-test base-vs-branch matrix on B300 (padded rows, graph replay, two-call descriptor storage, counter buffer) | base: two-call rows fail with the binding's immutability error; branch: all pass | | same matrix on B200 | all pass on base and branch (by-value descriptors) | | net lines | 72 files, +1,442 / -16,920 | | merge-tree onto `main` | clean; overlaps only with the open DSv4 round PRs listed above | | `ruff check` / `ruff format --check` (0.12.8); clang-format 19.1.1 dry-run on the new header | clean | 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * CAKE DSv4 now launches registered kernels directly and sequences multi-kernel operations. * Improved TMA descriptor reuse across launches, devices, and CUDA Graph captures.

…SM100/SM103 on the #5920 layout (cumulative) (#6045) ## Summary Rounds 7-17 of the DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend (`backend="cake"`, SM100 + SM103) as one cumulative change on the #5920 layout (per-variant bindings taking their checks from `tvm_ffi_utils.h`, shared sources under `common/`, `run_sequence`, the host's direct variant launches). Main carries round 6 (#5700) for this family; the eight per-round PRs stacked on it (#5728, #5742, #5845, #5854, #5879, #5946, #5973, #5999) and the held round 15-17 fork branches were closed in favour of this PR. Programs: whole-family regeneration of the `cake_dsv4` sources from Cake !1037's tree (the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` merged into Cake main, rendered by main's codegen) for sm_103a and sm_100a through the exporter's #5920-layout path, replacing the round-6 sources. Host: the four round 11-14 host changes re-expressed on main's host (descriptor pool and `run_sequence` unchanged), plus the round tests ported onto main's collapsed tests. Numerics rule (every round): no precision-level change anywhere (same tolerances, same or higher-precision intermediates). Rounds that change output bits are called out below; every other program is bit-identical to its predecessor (NaN-poisoned bit compare on the measured cells). ### What changed per round - Round 7 ([Cake !1037](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1037), was #5728): FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA (class K1): single-pass softmax with the TMEM-alias correctness fix (Q x400 over-tolerance elements 398..64359 -> 0) and softmax warps helping the first K-tile gather, -0.7..-0.85 us per row; FP8/H64 cluster / wide one-partition: V4 gather owner, whole 128-key tile per cluster CTA with an f32 end merge over DSMEM (bits change by merge grouping), -0.13..-0.70 us; H8/H16 decode: loader warps skip the padded gather rows, up to -1.6 us. - Round 8 ([Cake !1043](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1043), was #5742): FP8/H64 wide one-partition in the whole-tile form with the no-LSE epilogue, -0.8..-0.9 us per row (bits change by merge grouping); K1 row max through `tcgen05.ld.red.max` on SM103a / full-tile fast max on SM100a, -0.45..-0.83 us; H8/H16 index-row L2 prefetch, -0.10..-0.26 us; BF16 one-tile SWA chain K stage-0 gather before the index barrier, -0.03..-0.10 us. - Round 9 ([Cake !1061](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1061), was #5845): six bit-identical levers: coalesced final-O epilogue of the fp8 H64 M64 persistent body (-7..-18 % on the six M64 rows), K4 first-tile gather split across the three warp roles (-2.5..-2.7 %), bf16 H64 guard by-value TMA descriptor ABI on sm_103a, K1 8-warp O epilogue drain, H/I SwapsAb page pair 0 from page-loader registers, class-O fp8 H64 5-slot KV ring (-12 % / -7..-9 %). - Round 10 ([Cake !1066](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1066), was #5854): bit-identical: class-O fp8 H64 split O-accumulator handshake + six-slot K ring with early Q release (-8..-10 %), bf16 H64 guard mask-flag pre-decode + transposed O store (-3.1..-4.1 %), H/I SwapsAb index-row L2 prefetch on sm_103a; the h8/h16 bindings gain the `num_query_tokens` scalar the host already passes by name. - Round 11 ([Cake !1085](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1085), was #5879): seven bit-identical levers (fp8 H64 M64 gated box-TMA K gather + per-stage O split credit; fp8 K4 last-tile key split; fp8 H128 persistent epilogue load-ahead-4 on sm_100a + deferred staging wait; bf16 H128 row-first elected multi-warp gather issue; bf16 H64 guard class-conditional gather4 issue) plus three contract-identical correctness fixes (split-FP8 P stage 1024 B-aligned at SMEM 175104 in the K4 / M64 / fp8 H128 persistent programs; guarded 16 B vector loads in the top-k index producers). **Host:** `out=None` is allocated in `run_cake_dsv4` after routing and placed at `base % 4 KiB == 0x800` on the six routes where the phase law was measured (`allocate_cake_dsv4_output`, `cake_dsv4_out_phase`, `out_shape`); caller-provided `out` and the other routes are unchanged. New `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4_out_placement.py`. - Round 12 ([Cake !1126](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1126), was #5946): bf16 H128 row-first / prefill O epilogue `tcgen05.wait::ld` per 32-column TMEM load (-1.4..-6.0 %); bf16 H32 top-k mixed-pool split assignment (re-associates f32 partials by split geometry, strictly more precise: cells > 1 ulp vs fp32 118.8k -> ~630) and active_topk mask before the s_full wait (-3.5..-5.2 %); fp8 K4 wide quarter-tile tail + helper-correction readback pre-issue (-2.0..-4.1 %); **Host:** the fp8 H64 M64 body is two exported programs selected by the item width in `_route` (`_fp8_h64_m64_program`: `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64` for `sparse_topk == 128`, `..._m64_multi_tile` otherwise; same ABI, same bits). - Round 13 ([Cake !1152](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1152), was #5973): bit-identical: **Host + program:** bf16 H128 row-first rows with 17-37 tokens run the new `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit` program (two 2-CTA clusters per token gathering only their N256 V half; grid 4 x tokens; `_BF16_ROW_FIRST_V_HALF_SPLIT_MAX_TOKENS = 37`), hardening-000025 -8.4 % GB300 / -7.8 % B200; fp8 K4 whole-tile `st.async ... complete_tx` peer O push + four-stage chunked merge (-0.70..-0.74 us); fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile next-item Q TMA after the CLC response (-0.4..-1.5 %); fp8 H128 persistent partial-o accumulation before the final `o_full` wait (-0.3..-1.1 %). - Round 14 ([Cake !1168](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1168), was #5999): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first (owner + vsplit) index warp issues its nine index loads before the nine `st.shared` passes (-5.0..-6.6 %); bf16 H64 guard program stores O through a TMA tensor map from per-warp staging (-0.9..-3.5 %) -- **Host:** the explicit `"O": "O"` entry in `_TMA_SOURCE_ALIASES` so the guard binding's `("tma_buffer", "O")` resolves; fp8 H128 persistent two-box pipelined epilogue drain on sm_103a. - Round 15 ([Cake !1177](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1177), held on the layout decision): bit-identical: the two-box pipelined epilogue drain becomes the default for the sm_100a fp8 H128 lane-gather variant (>= 128 work items); no host change. - Round 16 ([Cake !1182](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1182), held): bit-identical: fp8 H64 M64 multi-tile softmax -1 ballot hoisted above the `s_full` join (-0.22..-0.56 us); bf16 H64 guard O store split per V stage so the stage-0 O drain overlaps PV1 (-0.19..-0.35 us); no host change. - Round 17 ([Cake !1186](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1186), held): bit-identical: bf16 H128 row-first programs (owner + vsplit) hoist the swa / compressed V table select out of the four elected gather groups (hardening-000025 -0.593 us GB300 / -0.800 us B200, hardening-000031 -0.160 / -0.751 us); no host change. Round 18 ([Cake !1193](https://gitlab-master.nvidia.com/averyh/r94494673bb0150eeffa896f7/-/merge_requests/1193)) shipped no program change (ledger only). ### Layout (#5920) notes - Per-arch registry schema unchanged: arch-prefixed `sources`, `arg_plan` as `_PLAN_<LABEL> [+ _SLAB] + _GRID`, `tma_workspace_bytes` only where non-zero, reducers shared through `common/` where both architectures compile the same kernel (`split_reduce`, `bf16_h64_compressed_reduce`); the split-5 reducers stay per-arch under the one key `bf16_h128_split5_reduce` (sm_103a grid `(tokens, heads / 4, 1)`, sm_100a `(tokens, heads, 1)`, as main's launch test pins). - Two new variant keys per architecture: `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit`, `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile` (27 variants per arch). - No family bindings; two-stage routes go through `run_sequence`; the host's descriptor pool is untouched. ### Variant / file diff vs main `a12173ca0` - Per-arch registrations: 27 variants each (main had 25): new keys `bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first_vsplit` (round 13, host-routed for 17-37-token rows) and `fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64_multi_tile` (round 12). Loader `flashinfer/jit/cake_dsv4.py`: data-only edits (registrations, plan/grid constants, source lists); loader functions and `__all__` untouched. - Files: `common/` 30 (4 before), `sm_100a/` 24 (46 before), `sm_103a/` 24 (46 before); `sm_120a/` and every other family untouched. Diff vs main: 107 files, +17906 / -62404. - Fold disclosure: the exporter serves a variant from `common/` when its kernel + binding sources are byte-identical on both architectures modulo hash tokens. With the rounds 7-18 kernel tree rendered by current Cake main codegen, 15 of the 27 variants fold (bf16_h128_swa128, bf16_h128_topk128x_row_first, …_vsplit, bf16_h128_topk128x_split4_sm100, bf16_h16_h32_swa128_v44, bf16_h32_topk128x_early_v47, bf16_h64_compressed_q8_v38, bf16_h64_compressed_reduce, bf16_h64_guard_q_tma_batch_r25, bf16_h64_prefill, fp8_h64_prefill_source_persistent_m64, …_m64_multi_tile, fp8_h64_source_exact, fp8_lowhead_h64, split_reduce); 12 stay per-arch. Each architecture still compiles its own module from the shared source. - Host: the six host/test commits below the export commits port the rounds 13-17 host changes (vsplit route, descriptor-pool and `run_sequence` plumbing, output-placement test) onto the #5920 host; `cake_dsv4_host_shim.h` is unreferenced by the regenerated bindings and left in place. ## Validation Both architectures measured on the exported programs of this branch (GB300 = sm_103a commit `08d1c3c8`, whose sm_103a sources are byte-identical modulo hash tokens to this head; B200 = this head `4146373e`).

Programs unchanged | pin rows (8): `ea69b60d`: 1 slower both orders = decode-000002 +0.070 us (10.46 us, +0.67 %, 2.2 q); 6 rows timing-identical in all four legs; h031 within its band; hardening 00-39 (40): `0365c256` / `f0fee955` (B200 legs take ~45 min per 20 rows; both steps hit the 3 h step budget during leg A2): 25/40 rows with all four legs, code part <= +0.030 us (<= 1 q) on every one; the 15 rows without A2 have |A1 - B1|, |A1 - B2| <= 0.09 us (h017 -0.09 us = faster); no row > 2 % in any leg; canonical 94: 6 x 16-row parts (`d69139af` `1b42ff9f` `d2cf5268` `49f23a7d` `fedccecc` `c3874f40`, all four legs): 134-row totals = 8 rows slower in both orders (max decode-000002 +0.070 us = +0.67 %, the other seven +0.04..+0.06 us <= 2 q), 0 rows faster in both orders, 112 rows timing-identical or within 1 q, geomean A/B 1.0004; **no row above +2 %**; decode-000056 (the GB300 +5.4 % row) is 6.690 us in all four legs on B200: sm_100a already used the `grid_constant` TMA ABI in round 17, consistent with the GB300 cell being a sampling artefact (see the GB300 column) | | `tests/mla/test_cake_dsv4*.py` (GPU, fresh clone of this head) | 320 passed, 4 skipped, 0 failed (`5e70a6c9`, 1 GPU of 802461) | 319 passed, 4 skipped, 1 failed in the full run (`b13c39b1`: `test_cuda_graph_replay_matches_eager[h32-fp8-q1]` at "eager call allocated" with memory_allocated *lower* than the baseline, i.e. a GC of earlier tests' tensors during the call); the test re-run in isolation passes 12/12 params (`cb812a81`) | | Cake-side gates of the kernel tree (Cake !1037, head `f3108393953`) | 134 rows x all axes 528/528 correct; synccheck 8/8 + memcheck 7/8 rows 0 errors; CPU rule tests 705/705 | same: 528/528; synccheck 8/8 + memcheck 7/8 rows 0 errors; 705/705 | Cross-node note: the sweep medians of this run are not comparable to the round-17 PR numbers (different nodes / clock regime: on GB300 both Cake and trtllm-gen moved +5.0 % / +3.0 % geomean vs the round-17 sweep); the same-GPU ABBA row above is the valid round-over-round comparison. ## Baselines and their source PRs - trtllm-gen default path: FlashInfer main as of `a12173ca0` (this branch's base; the DSv4 trtllm-gen MLA path is unchanged since `c4cb63534`, the #5879 head: the only commit touching the MLA dispatch files since then is #5983, which adds an SM120 source to `flashinfer/jit/mla.py`; #5854, #5845, #5742, #5728, #5700 before it). - Cake round 17: fork branch `cake-772-dsv4-round17` (`dbf86c4d6`, held on the #5920 layout decision); round 16: `cake-772-dsv4-round16` (`45c0b819c`, held); round 15: `cake-772-dsv4-round15` (`1a91f12a9`, held); round 14: #5999 (`e2f7310ee`); round 13: #5973; round 12: #5946; round 11: #5879; round 10: #5854; round 9: #5845; round 8: #5742; round 7: #5728; round 6 and before: #5700 and the tracker's earlier PRs. - Round 18 (Cake !1193) changed no program: the exported programs here are the round-17 kernel tree `c7284461b47` as merged into Cake main (!1037 head `f3108393953`), rendered on the #5920 layout by the exporter (main's codegen since the round-17 base changes every generated program's text — dead-helper pruning, grid_constant tensor maps, `__shfl_sync`, launch-bounds macro — without touching the kernel schedules); the pre-export source-vs-export agreement for the sm_103a build-gap row (hardening-000031) is in the round-18 Cake doc. - Tracker: flashinfer#4254 (DSv4 sparse-MLA Cake backend; this PR supersedes the round 7-14 PRs listed above and the held round 15-17 fork branches `cake-772-dsv4-round15` `1a91f12a9`, `cake-772-dsv4-round16` `45c0b819c`, `cake-772-dsv4-round17` `dbf86c4d6`).

Summary
Round-7 performance of the
backend="cake"DeepSeek-V4 sparse-MLA decode path oftrtllm_batch_decode_sparse_mla_dsv4(SM100a / SM103a), regenerated from the same producer pipeline as #5700. No host change. Round 7 keeps the precision level of every
program (same tolerances, same or higher-precision intermediates); two programs change output bits: the FP8/H64 single-CTA SWA family
gets a TMEM-alias correctness fix in its softmax pass (Q x400 over-tolerance elements 398..64359 -> 0), and the FP8/H64 cluster family
merges its per-CTA f32 partials in a different (whole-tile) grouping. Every other regenerated program is bit-identical to #5700.
−0.7..−0.85 us per row.
over DSMEM, −0.13..−0.70 us.
the by-value (
__grid_constant__) tensor-map ABI for the H64 prefill seed, −0.2..−0.3 us per row.Validation
