Summary

Fix GPTQ Marlin load failure on small output shards.

Qwen3.6 GDN MoE TP=2 can create GPTQ linear shards with output_size_per_partition=32. Marlin needs output dim aligned to 64, so loading fails before inference starts.

This pads the Marlin weight/scales/zeros to tile-aligned size at load time, runs Marlin with the padded size, and slices the extra output columns after GEMM. Padding uses vLLM parameter metadata (output_dim, packed_dim, packed_factor), not a fixed tensor layout.

Changes

  • can_implement() checks padded output dim instead of raw dim.
  • Pad qweight, scales, qzeros, and bias before Marlin repack/permute.
  • Slice output back to original size in apply_weights().
  • Add tests for sub-tile-N Marlin GEMM and layout-aware padding.

Related upstream PRs

Not a duplicate of vllm-project#40361. Both fix the same Marlin sub-tile-N loading problem.

Difference: vllm-project#40361 pads for the current GPTQ Marlin layout. This PR uses vLLM parameter metadata, so packed qzeros and output_dim=0 layouts are handled too.

Validation

  • pre-commit on changed files: passed
  • pytest -q -k 'sub_tile_n_pad or output_padding' tests/kernels/quantization/test_marlin_gemm.py: 4 passed
  • Runtime smoke, eager mode, /ssd512g/models/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-int4-AutoRound-EC, TP=2: load + generation OK, EXCLAMATION_ONLY False

Align Marlin layer support checks with MarlinLinearKernel's output padding support so AutoRound/INC small-N tensor-parallel shards stay on Marlin instead of falling back to GPTQ GEMM.

Closing this fork PR because the Marlin small-N / thread-tile padding issue is now superseded by upstream vllm-project#45295. The remaining integration branch should follow the upstream implementation and drop the stale #39 leftovers.
