Purpose

Make CUDA-graph memory profiling preserve the tensor-address and resource
lifetime invariants required by FULL, PIECEWISE, and breakable graph capture.
Profiling graphs are temporary, but their executables may still reference
captured tensors and backend workspaces while teardown releases those objects.

Resulting behavior

  • Apply the same token-input normalization during capture and ordinary model
    execution. A model receiving prepared embeddings omits input_ids unless it
    declares that raw token IDs are required.
  • Synchronize breakable capture with preceding warmup work before the first
    direct capture_begin() call.
  • Retain graph entries and their Python-owned resources while resetting FULL,
    PIECEWISE, and breakable profiling graph executables.
  • Synchronize graph destruction before releasing profiling KV storage and
    communication workspaces.

Production graph selection and steady-state dispatch are unchanged.

Review-stack boundary

This pull request is based on #532 so the source-locked GLM-5.3 integration
has one linear review stack. Its diff contains only CUDA-graph input
normalization, profiling-graph resource lifetime, and associated tests; it
does not contain C4 indexer or GLM5Next cache behavior.

Duplicate-work check

Searches for CUDA-graph profiling lifetime, workspace lifetime, and stable
capture inputs found no matching open pull request in
local-inference-lab/vllm or vllm-project/vllm.

Merged pull request #493 retains custom-operation resources owned by production
graphs. It does not reset temporary profiling graph executables before their
workspaces are released, and it does not enforce identical token-input
arguments between capture and replay. Pull request #511 changes graph-memory
measurement for small explicit FULL descriptor sets and is independent of
these lifetime invariants.

Validation

  • Targeted CUDA-graph tests: 35 passed.
  • Ruff check, Ruff format check, and git diff --check: passed.
  • Two GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4 TP4/DCP4 starts on physical GPUs 4, 5, 6, and 7
    completed profiling and production capture without
    CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates CUDA graph capture and profiling teardown, adds token-input normalization, introduces parallel GLM prefill pooling, and caches B12x paged top-k plans across execution paths.

Changes

CUDA graph lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token input normalization
vllm/v1/worker/gpu/cudagraph_utils.py, vllm/v1/worker/gpu/model_runner.py, tests/v1/cudagraph/test_cudagraph_manager.py
Capture and forward preparation now preserve raw tokens when required and clear input_ids for embedding-based models.
Graph executable reset
vllm/compilation/breakable_cudagraph.py, vllm/compilation/cuda_graph.py, vllm/v1/worker/gpu/cudagraph_utils.py, tests/v1/cudagraph/test_breakable_cudagraph.py
Graph wrappers and managers reset executables while retaining captured resources. Breakable capture synchronizes before cleanup.
Profiling teardown lifecycle
vllm/v1/worker/gpu/cudagraph_utils.py, tests/v1/worker/test_gpu_model_runner_v2_cudagraph_profiling.py
Teardown synchronizes, resets wrapper and manager graphs, synchronizes again, and clears graph entries and resources. Tests verify the event order.

GLM parallel prefill pooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prefill metadata and dispatch
vllm/v1/attention/backends/mla/b12x_mla_sparse.py, vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/pooled_indexer.py, vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/ops/glm_kpool.py
Prefill metadata now includes CPU sequence lengths. The indexer validates active pages and dispatches separate decode and prefill workloads.
Parallel prefill kernels
vllm/models/glm5next/nvidia/ops/glm_kpool.py, tests/models/test_glm5next_pooled_indexer.py
New kernels write completed pools and preserve trailing state. Tests cover boundary state, invalid slots, and decode equivalence.

B12x plan reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cached paged top-k execution
vllm/models/deepseek_v4/nvidia/b12x_indexer.py, tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_sparse_mla_api.py
The indexer stores the resolved module and caches plans by workload dimensions. Prefill and decode paths reuse the cached plans and rebind shared workspace per call.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3bcb9

This change preserves CUDA-graph resources through teardown and reuses execution plans by request shape. It is mergeable with owner awareness because profiling cleanup could affect unrelated in-process graph state, while highly variable page-table widths may retain extra GPU plans and workspace; scoping cleanup and bounding plan growth remain advisable follow-ups.

Add an Args: section to this helper docstring.

normalize_model_token_inputs accepts two non-obvious arguments. Document model and the mutable model_inputs mapping in Google style.

Proposed update
     """Keep token-input arguments identical between graph capture and replay.
 
     Models that receive prepared embeddings normally omit ``input_ids``. Models
     declaring ``requires_raw_input_tokens`` are the exception and receive both.
     CUDA graph capture and ordinary execution must apply the same rule because
     breakable graphs require an invariant set of tensor arguments and addresses.
+
+    Args:
+        model: Model that can declare `requires_raw_input_tokens`.
+        model_inputs: Mutable keyword arguments for the model forward call.
     """

As per coding guidelines, Python docstrings must use Google-style Args:/Returns:/Raises: sections.

Apply the runtime token-input contract to CUDA graph capture. Models using prepared embeddings omit input_ids unless they declare requires_raw_input_tokens, so breakable capture and replay now receive the same tensor arguments and persistent addresses.

This prevents multimodal text requests from replaying graphs captured with an extra input_ids tensor. CPU coverage verifies embedding-only, raw-token-plus-embedding, and token-only contracts.

(cherry picked from commit 673eb2af6fae70ccc2b81b1a4c95603a7909c421)
Synchronize manual breakable capture with preceding warmup work, matching the barrier provided by torch.cuda.graph(). Explicitly reset FULL, PIECEWISE, and breakable profiling graph executables before releasing captured tensors and backend communication workspaces.

This prevents asynchronous B12X scratch reuse during capture and prevents discarded profiling graphs from retaining freed workspace addresses. Production graph dispatch is unchanged.

Validated with 35 targeted CUDA-graph tests and two cold TP4/DCP4 GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4 starts using B12X attention, MoE, linear, and TP all-reduce; both starts completed profiling and production capture without launch blocking.

512-514: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bucket active_pages before slicing the prefill table. _plan_paged_topk keys plans by block_table.shape[1], so varying active_pages can create a new plan for each width. Round it up to a fixed bucket and slice _pool_block_table to that bucket. This keeps the plan width and runtime table width equal; it does not require a plan to accept a narrower real_page_table.
