Conversation
Add a graph-safe native B12X specialization for ordinary decode where every live request contributes exactly one token.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe Single-token KDA decoding
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new single-token decode path mutates shared recurrent state while trusting scheduler-provided slot metadata and currently permits output overlap with that state; invalid slots or aliasing could corrupt request state. The generic path remains validated, but this specialized path requires the overlap invariant to be enforced and the trusted scheduler boundary to be explicitly accepted before merge.

Full details: Context-Independent Repository ProseExplanation The implementation docstrings and comments are locally clear, but the PR description uses undefined benchmark and implementation labels. The throughput report mentions “normal-sampling C1,” “M=1 MoE specialization,” “Stock JJ,” and “qualified r19” without defining what C1, JJ, or r19 identify. Repository search found no local referents for Stock JJ or r19; C1 only appears in unrelated code. These labels require author context and match the check’s condition for an experiment/profile/codename or implementation shorthand used before its semantic meaning. Resolution Rewrite the throughput report with semantic descriptions. Define each benchmark configuration and implementation before using its label, including C1, M=1, JJ, and r19, or remove the labels. State the workload conditions, baseline and comparison implementation, measured throughput, and conclusion in the same self-contained paragraph. Full details: Security Claim And Implementation ScopeExplanation PASS: This PR is not presented as a security fix, hardening change, or defense against hostile input. The authored description and commit message describe a graph-safe performance specialization for trusted ordinary single-token KDA decode, with a scheduler contract and benchmark/test results. The diff only adds the new API, validation wrapper, kernel path, and tests; it contains no attacker-controlled input, external trust boundary, or security-impact claim. The security-specific failure rules therefore do not apply, even though the implementation adds a kernel execution path. Full details: Serving Hot-Path InvariantsExplanation The new planned entry point violates hot-path invariants. Resolution Move static tensor geometry, dtype/device, alias, and numeric-policy validation to bind/admission, or provide a separate admission object for the caller-owned buffers. Keep the per-run function as a launch-only operation. Enforce the single-token request limit with Full details: Performance Claim EvidenceExplanation The PR makes a speedup claim, but the repository has no qualifying evidence for it. The claim appears only in the PR description; the claimed values (128.3, 127.8, 140.58, and 139.97 tok/s) do not occur in tracked files. The only GDN benchmark is unchanged by this PR, benchmarks Qwen3.8 Resolution Add checked-in performance evidence for the claimed comparison.

Reject aliases with binding.recurrent_state.
Lines 922-930 check only output against per-call inputs. A supplied output or read-only tensor can still alias binding.recurrent_state. The kernel then reads or writes overlapping recurrent-state storage and can corrupt the state update.
Reject overlaps between binding.recurrent_state and output and every supplied read-only tensor before launch.

I would rather not add another public API entrypoint for this. I'm amenable to a fully internal (routed) kernel optimization though. |

Purpose
Add a native, graph-safe B12X KDA specialization for ordinary decode where every live request contributes exactly one token. It consumes caller-owned tensors directly and compiles out packed-metadata validation and staging work.
The API is explicit about its trusted scheduler contract. Generic packed, speculative, padded, and multi-token requests continue through
run_kdawith the existing device-side validation. No FLA or Torch fallback is added. No existing open B12X PR covers this KDA path.Test plan and result

Coverage includes BF16/FP32 recurrent states, exact reference comparison, strided beta, null state, duplicate-slot transactionality, CUDA-graph replay,torch.compile, and state offsets beyond the signed-32-bit element boundary.128.3 -> 140.58 tok/sat context 0 and127.8 -> 139.97 tok/sat 8k. Stock JJ was123.2/122.7 tok/s; qualified r19 was141.0-141.1/~140.6 tok/s.This PR changes neither KDA math nor precision. The final serving stack remained native B12X sparse MLA, KDA, A4 MoE, and PCIe all-reduce.
