Result

B12X_MLA decodes Kimi-K3 from vLLM's packed fp8_ds_mla KV cache on
SM120/SM121 while preserving dense-attention semantics. The backend uses the
existing 656-byte packed reader as an exact-dense executor: every visible token
in the paged block table is materialized as an ordered physical slot. Kimi-K3
has no sparse indexer or index_topk weights, so selecting B12X_MLA_SPARSE
would change the model contract and is rejected.

The PR also preserves partial DCP-page resume behavior for prefix-cache hits
and external KV loads. Cache-group-scoped copy-on-write uses each group's
logical tensor view, and a completed asynchronous KV load is not re-admitted
against a reservation it already holds.

Packed-reader behavior

  • The backend advertises fp8_ds_mla and allocates
    (num_blocks, block_size, 656) uint8 records.
  • Decode queries remain BF16. Standard E4M3 cache modes retain their existing
    pre-quantized query path.
  • One caller-owned physical-slot table and workspace serve serial MLA layers.
    The packed reader returns natural-log LSE through the existing DCP reduction.
  • B12X capability detection fails closed when the installed package does not
    provide the required packed sparse_mla reader or requested split controls.
  • Null placeholder blocks are re-zeroed after completed KV receives, so masked
    candidates cannot read stale non-finite packed records.

The packed record is 13.9% larger than the standard 576-byte FP8 record.
Deployments must re-qualify context capacity or KV memory reservation; this PR
does not change either setting automatically.

TP9 packed-reader head tile

Commit 2c99648d718555502a25437ed3035c59dbd933b0 closes the Kimi-K3 TP9/DCP9
packed-reader tail. DCP gathers 99 effective query heads. The packed reader
uses 16-head tiles, so padding to 104 required a full grid plus an eight-head
tail grid. Packed execution now plans 112 heads, zero-fills the 13 padding
heads, and slices output and LSE back to the 99 valid heads before DCP
reduction. Ordinary FP8 execution retains its eight-head geometry.

The DCP all-gather writes into the leading view of the caller-owned padded
query allocation. The update avoids copying that view onto itself during CUDA
graph replay. The adapter regression covers 11 local heads across nine DCP
ranks, the 99-to-112 zero tail, and the 99-head reduction boundary. The
packed-query GPU regression also includes 99 heads.

Validation

Frozen-runtime overlay correctness

The updated adapter was tested in a disposable, network-isolated container on
GPU 4. The test used frozen vLLM candidate fa6ea71c01fd and B12X evidence
source 06f319a995f470dde9d0a9cbaf2301126cac60e8, mounted read-only. It
overlaid only this PR's b12x_mla.py, envs.py, and
tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py; no serving process, serving
configuration, or cache namespace was changed.

pytest -q -p no:cacheprovider --confcutdir=tests/v1/attention \
  tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py
63 passed, 16 warnings in 11.21s

This is a correctness test for the stated frozen-source overlay. It is not a
performance measurement or an end-to-end test of a changed serving deployment.

Existing packed-reader qualification

The frozen candidate evidence includes 17 B12X GPU cases, 47 vLLM adapter
cases including 64/99-head packed-query equivalence, a two-GPU eager and
CUDA-graph packed-query gather, six four-row fixed-input output/LSE digest
comparisons at 2,048, 8,192, and 16,384 local tokens, and a high-page check at
byte offset 2,149,244,928. Static/BF16 variants preserve the recorded valid
head bytes. Balanced/FP32 partials change association and remain a separate
research-only serving choice.

git diff --check passes for 2c99648d71. The full-file pre-commit run still
reports pre-existing Ruff, mypy, and torch.cuda policy failures in the
stacked #644 baseline; this update does not claim that those baseline failures
are resolved.

Measurement boundary

The TP9 head-tile update has no standalone serving-throughput claim. The
frozen 16–64 Ki context cells are single unseeded, concurrency-one composition
sweeps that include packed-reader controls in addition to head padding. They
cannot measure the marginal effect of this commit.

The 128 Ki reference baseline is invalid: the benchmark client emitted zero
tokens while a global-counter fallback attributed output from another request.
Neither 48.1 tokens/s nor any derived 128 Ki gain is a measurement of the
benchmark request. The request-owned measurement correction is tracked in
llm-inference-bench #16.

No model payload, request content, cache tensor, or profiler trace is attached
to this PR.

Review requirement

AI assistance was used for implementation, validation, and review. A human
maintainer must review the physical-slot mapping, CUDA-graph lifetime,
packed-reader scratch ownership, DCP LSE contract, cache-group ownership, and
the TP9 padded-query path before merge.

Record scheduler-side speculative widths in GrammarOutput so worker-side draft trimming cannot shift flattened grammar masks onto later requests. Destination logits continue to use the worker-visible width, while source offsets use the serialized scheduler width.

Validated with focused unit coverage and a 160-request concurrent DeepSeek V4 structured-output workload.
KimiK3ToolParser.extract_tool_calls_streaming matched calls with
_call_re, which requires the closing <|close|>call<|sep|> marker. Until
that marker arrived nothing was emitted for the call, so a long tool
call produced no SSE deltas for the whole generation and then dumped
the entire arguments JSON in one delta.

Track the call from its <|open|>call ...<|sep|> marker instead. The
name goes out immediately, and _partial_arguments serializes the
arguments seen so far as a prefix of the final JSON, so each step can
stream the difference against what it already sent. String argument
bodies are raw text, so they are forwarded as they arrive with a
trailing partial close marker held back; other types still need the
whole literal to decode and are held until their block closes.

The concatenated deltas are byte-identical to the non-streaming
extract_tool_calls output.

Structured-output masks are prepared before speculative verification. An accepted block can cross reasoning activation or grammar termination, so its suffix may have been sampled under a grammar state that no longer applies at commit time.

Validate the accepted block without advancing the matcher, commit only its valid prefix, and roll scheduler accounting back for resampling. Preserve the unstructured and single-token fast paths, and report only committed draft tokens in speculative metrics.

Define token-position DCP shard count on each cache specification and use max_num_blocks_per_req as the worker block-table width contract.

The dense MLA kernel (b12x) now shares each request's live 64-token
chunks evenly over the launched splits, so an eager launch needs
min(num_splits, live chunks) splits rather than the plan-prefix
ceil(live chunks / chunks_per_split). Both launches partition the
chunks exactly as the full-plan CUDA-graph launch does; the removed
formula left most CTAs idle on sequences shorter than the plan.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HPWxmKzfikaemyykd3p89D
The b12x dense MLA plan accepts `partial_dtype` (element type of the
split partials the merge reads) and `single_split_chunks` (largest live
chunk count one split scans alone; balanced ranges above). Two
environment variables select them for every K3 dense MLA plan:

- VLLM_K3_DENSE_MLA_PARTIAL_DTYPE: "bf16" (default, unchanged) or "fp32"
  (partials kept exact, merged results rounded once).
- VLLM_K3_DENSE_MLA_SINGLE_SPLIT_CHUNKS: -1 (default: the plan's chunks
  per split, i.e. the fixed-range association for requests that fit one
  run) or a chunk count; 0 balances every request.

Eager launches now use one split for requests within the threshold, so
those write the output directly without a merge; longer requests keep
one split per live chunk.

Validation: tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py (45 passed in the
production image) covers the launch count with and without a threshold
and the environment parsing; the served-lineage test expectations for
the balanced launch count are updated to the balanced rule.

…ext output

Three dense-MLA metadata and output-storage fixes for the fused DCP
verification path:

- Verify plans (fp8 KV, four-query tiles) are created per power-of-two
  batch capacity (`_dense_mla_plan_row_caps`) and `build` selects the
  smallest covering capacity, like the decode plans; the batch range is
  bounded by the flattened row capacity (four rows per request). One plan
  per batch value grew linearly with max_num_seqs and exceeded the 1,024-row
  plan limit from batch 257.
- The plan's page table must cover the largest local KV shard: `build`
  copies the worker's block table into the plan-width flattened table and
  drops columns past that width (KV-block rounding can make the worker
  table wider while no local sequence references those columns); a plan
  narrower than the shard would drop referenced pages, so the builder now
  rejects it (a sliding-window spec shrinking the plan) instead of clamping.
- `_reuse_consumed_query_for_context_output` allocates fresh storage when
  the consumed query holds fewer bytes than the compact bf16 context output
  (an fp8 Kimi-K3 query row is 192 bytes, the output row 256), instead of
  raising on every fp8 prefill with chunked context.

Validation: tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py (38 passed, new covering-
bucket test) and tests/models/kimi_k3/test_mla_padding.py (14 passed; the
fp8 case now uses the production 192-wide query) in the SM120 image.

Copy cache-on-write source pages through each tensor view and its actual block axis, preserving storage offsets and padded block strides in heterogeneous DCP layouts. Keep the raw-storage path only for layouts without an identifiable block dimension.

This preserves 1,536-token partial prefix reuse for Kimi-K3 fp8_ds_mla instead of coarsening hits to the 12,288-token DCP page boundary.

Validated on CUDA with strided uint8 views, nonzero block-axis layouts, and the production 94x1536x656 packed MLA shape.

Defer only the first draft proposal after an fp8_ds_mla cache hit that ends inside a DCP attention page. The target advances one token without speculative verification, then the configured draft depth resumes on the following step.

Block 0 is the placeholder every block table pads with, and its pages are
shared by all KV cache groups of one layer index, so attention readers and
recurrent kernels treat it as all zeros. A KV connector that receives a
request's block table with placeholder slots can scatter loaded state into
it; the LMCache MP connector did so for the recurrent checkpoint slots of a
resumed hybrid request, and the packed fp8_ds_mla MLA reader then loaded
non-finite records from slot 0 for its masked candidates.

The V2 runner now zeroes block 0 through the existing KV block zeroer
whenever a step reports completed KV receives, including no-forward steps.
The loaded request is scheduled only after that report, so it never reads a
page a load overwrote. Steps without completed receives are unchanged.

- Around line 60-66: Update the second test’s create_requests call to use

unchanged.

Set max_tokens=8 in the second test. With max_tokens=1, the single-token skip in Scheduler.schedule independently sets num_spec_tokens_to_schedule to 0, so the assertion can pass without partial-DCP deferral. max_tokens=8 disables that skip and isolates the partial-DCP behavior.

Ignore unknown request IDs in RESET. K3DSparkZMQServer accepts arbitrary non-empty IDs, and reset passes each ID to DraftKVSlotAllocator.get_or_allocate, which retains a new slot. After FREE, a stale RESET can reallocate that slot, and later PROPOSE calls can raise DSpark request capacity exhausted. Use allocator.get and clear the state only when it exists.

Register the five remote-draft environment variables. validate_environ raises ValueError in hard-fail mode and logs a warning otherwise when a set VLLM_ variable is absent from environment_variables. The five remote-draft variables are absent from the registry but are read by the speculator paths, so configuring them can fail validation. Add them with the existing defaults.

Keep DCP-replicated groups on the local forward path.

When DCP has more than one rank, FlashAttentionMetadataBuilder uses local DCP metadata, but FlashAttentionImpl still uses the global dcp_world_size initialized by AttentionImplBase.__new__. The zero-context branch of _forward_with_dcp then attends only to the current query, key, and value; it does not read the paged KV cache. Replicated groups therefore omit cached context tokens. Carry the group-local replicated state in the metadata and use it to bypass _forward_with_dcp.

Reject oversized packed-index allocations. _max_dcp_local_cache_tokens derives directly from max_model_len, and packed mode allocates persistent int32 storage for max_dense_mla_rows * max_cache_tokens. A supported configuration can reserve 4 GiB per builder, leaving insufficient device memory for the KV cache or failing initialization. Add an explicit product budget before torch.empty.

Refresh request.prefill_stats on re-admission.

PrefillStats.set() runs only when request.num_preemptions <= 0. Preemption preserves the stats object, increments num_preemptions, and requeues the request. A later admission therefore leaves num_cached_tokens from the earlier cache lookup, while line 1329 uses it to detect partial DCP alignment. Under fp8_ds_mla with DCP > 1, this stale value can skip or incorrectly trigger the target-only transition. Refresh the stats with the current cache counts on each admission.

Do not gate null-block restoration on needs_kv_cache_zeroing.

GPUWorker.initialize_from_config creates kv_block_zeroer only when KVCacheConfig.needs_kv_cache_zeroing is true. NIXL can complete receives for uniform FullAttentionSpec caches, where that flag is false. _restore_null_block_after_kv_load() then returns despite finished_recving, so a connector write to shared block 0 can leave non-zero padding. Initialize the zeroer for this receive path or fail closed.

Set is_neox_style explicitly for standalone DFlash.

The standalone path passes StandaloneTargetFacade to load_dflash_model. The facade exposes only the embedding and LM head, so dflash_target_rope_is_neox_style returns None. The DFlash model then defaults is_neox_style to True. A Kimi checkpoint can silently use the wrong rotary layout and produce incorrect attention results. Pass the layout from the loaded target configuration or fail closed when it is unavailable.

Disambiguate the block-axis heuristic when multiple dimensions match num_blocks.

If dimension 0 and another dimension both equal num_blocks, block_dim selects dimension 0. In the K/V-first layout (2, num_blocks, ...), num_blocks == 2 selects the K/V axis instead of the block axis. The copy then mutates the wrong slices. Set block_dim only when exactly one dimension matches; otherwise use the raw-storage fallback.

Remove the scheduler step that scheduled zero speculative tokens on the final
prefill step of an fp8_ds_mla cache resume inside a DCP page. The remote
DFlash speculator skips its RPC entirely on a zero-depth step, so that step's
fresh context rows and committed tokens never reached the draft server. The
next proposal then failed with a context gap and the request lost drafting for
the rest of its generation (about 25 tok/s instead of 55-65 tok/s). Every
conversation turn resumes inside a DCP page, so all interactive traffic was
affected; cold benchmark prompts were not.

The step existed to avoid a non-finite verification block on the first resumed
decode step. That failure was caused by recurrent-state writes into the null
block (block 0) and is fixed at its source by the null-block guard and the
LMCache null-block-safe transfers, so the first resumed step can verify the
configured draft depth like every later step.

Validation: scheduler module compiles; the removed helper had no other users.
The serving verification arms cover a multi-chunk resume and check the target
log for context-gap failures.

Drive the B12X packed (fp8_ds_mla) dense decode reader with
split_policy="balanced" and fp32 split partials. The environment selects
both: VLLM_K3_PACKED_MLA_SPLIT_POLICY (balanced | static, default balanced)
and VLLM_K3_PACKED_MLA_PARTIAL_DTYPE (fp32 | bf16, default fp32).

With the static ranges the reader keys every split to the planned capacity
(64 splits of 28 chunks for a 113,664-slot local shard), so a decode row of
2k-16k local tokens keeps a few CTAs scanning 28 chunks serially: about
110 us per MLA layer, 2.6 ms per step over 24 layers, while the fp8 dense
reader takes 31-62 us for the same rows. The balanced policy derives each
CTA's range from the live chunk count, and fp32 partials keep the merged
result rounded once at the output (the same precision as a single-split
scan). Both are B12X capabilities; the adapter detects them from the
sparse_mla.Caps fields and the run_decode signature and refuses a
non-default setting on a B12X without the capability instead of silently
running the static/bf16 path.

Validation: tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py (58 passed in the production
image on an RTX PRO 6000; the SM120 packed reader test now runs both
static/bf16 and balanced/fp32 against the dequantized reference). Single-GPU
microbenchmark of one layer call at the serving geometry (64 heads, 4 query
rows, 64 splits, CUDA-graph replay): 67 -> 19 us at 1,024 local tokens,
109 -> 23 us at 2,048, 109 -> 34 us at 4,096, 110 -> 54 us at 8,192,
111 -> 96 us at 16,384; unchanged beyond 32,768 (the static ranges apply).

With `VLLM_K3_PACKED_MLA_QUERY=packed` the B12X_MLA adapter quantizes each
local decode query head into the packed reader's 656-byte record (512 E4M3
nope bytes with four fp32 power-of-two tile scales, 64 bf16 rope values)
before the DCP head gather, and hands the gathered records to the reader as
uint8. The Triton kernel `pack_k3_query` reproduces the reader's in-kernel
S0 quantization bit-exactly (per 128-dim tile: `max(absmax, 1e-4) / 448`
rounded up to a power of two, round-to-nearest-even E4M3 with saturation),
so the attention output is unchanged; the gather moves 656 instead of 1,152
bytes per head. The default "bf16" keeps the bf16 query path.

The metadata builder owns the local packed buffer and, under DCP, a uint8
gathered buffer; the DCP warmup adds the E4M3 656-element gather signature
so no pool is created during graph capture. The packed form requires the
B12X GLM generic per-token fast path (`B12X_MLA_SM120_GLM_FASTPATH=1`); a
reader without packed-query support rejects the uint8 query at the first
decode instead of computing on it.

Validation (host GPU 0, serving image, B12X a2fc62b):
`tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py` 60 passed, including
`test_b12x_mla_pack_k3_query_matches_reference` (all-zero tile and
saturating outlier) and `test_b12x_mla_packed_query_matches_bf16_query`
(64 gathered heads, 1,600 tokens in 1,536-token pages, `torch.equal` on
output and LSE against the bf16 query).

The DCP warmup for the packed query signature (E4M3, 656-element records)
called `warmup_b12x_dcp_a2a`, which also exercises the output LSE reduction
with the same element type; the reduction accepts only fp16/bf16 outputs, so
every worker failed at boot with "B12X PCIe DCP output reduction is
unavailable for the configured attention geometry". `warmup_b12x_dcp_query_gather`
creates and exercises just the query all-gather pool of one signature;
`warmup_b12x_dcp_a2a` uses it for its gather half and keeps warming the
bf16 reduction.

Validation: new 2-GPU test

warmup of the E4M3 656 signature, eager gather into caller-owned storage,
graph-captured gather under `capture_b12x_dcp_a2a`; bytes equal to

Pad packed fp8_ds_mla queries from 99 to 112 heads for TP9/DCP9 so the 16-head reader does not issue a partial tail grid. Output and LSE are sliced back to the 99 valid heads before DCP reduction, preserving the ordinary FP8 eight-head geometry.

The DCP all-gather may write into the leading view of the padded query allocation. Avoid a self-copy during CUDA graph replay, and cover the 11-local-head by nine-rank path with the existing DCP adapter test. The packed-query regression also covers 99 valid heads.

Validation: git diff --check passed. The production Torch/B12X test environment is not available in this isolated worktree; the documented GPU evidence remains limited to its stated source and configuration.

TP9 packed-reader head-tile update

Status: implemented and qualified for the frozen-runtime overlay test in
2c99648d718555502a25437ed3035c59dbd933b0.

Kimi-K3 TP9/DCP9 gathers 99 effective query heads. The packed
fp8_ds_mla reader uses 16-head tiles, so an eight-head tail previously used
a second launch. The adapter now plans 112 heads only for the packed reader,
zero-fills the 13 padding heads, and slices output and LSE back to the 99
valid heads before DCP reduction. Ordinary FP8 execution retains its
eight-head tile geometry.

The DCP all-gather writes into the leading view of the caller-owned padded
query allocation. The update avoids copying that view onto itself during CUDA
graph replay. The focused adapter regression covers 11 local heads across
nine DCP ranks and verifies the 99-to-112 padding, zero tail, and 99-head
reduction boundary. The packed-query GPU regression also includes 99 heads.

Frozen-runtime correctness validation used the disposable,
network-isolated image
kimi-k3-production-issue75-dspark@sha256:bb9843ca63fe61b258077a3231a4136f143f942e259676225446df030afda767
on GPU 4. It mounted the frozen packed-reader candidate (vLLM
fa6ea71c01fd) and B12X evidence source read-only, then overlaid only this
commit's b12x_mla.py, envs.py, and adapter test file. No service process,
serving configuration, or cache namespace was changed.

pytest -q -p no:cacheprovider --confcutdir=tests/v1/attention \
  tests/v1/attention/test_b12x_mla.py
63 passed, 16 warnings in 11.21s

This result qualifies correctness for the stated frozen-source overlay. It is
not a performance measurement or evidence that a changed serving deployment
was benchmarked. Existing kernel evidence for the frozen candidate also covers
six four-row output/LSE digest comparisons at 2,048, 8,192, and 16,384 local
tokens and a high-page offset check at 2,149,244,928 bytes.

The 16–64 Ki serving cells are one unseeded, concurrency-one sweep per arm and
combine the packed-reader integration with this tile change; they do not
measure the marginal effect of head padding. The 128 Ki baseline is invalid:
its benchmark client emitted zero tokens while a global-counter fallback
attributed output from another request. No 128 Ki gain or 48.1 tokens/s
baseline is claimed by this update.

git diff --check passed for 2c99648d71. No model payload, request content,
cache tensor, or profiler trace is attached. OpenAI Codex assisted with the
transplant and review; human maintainer review is required before merge.

1389-1389: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Allocate packed storage for replicated query heads.

When dcp_q_replicate is true, Lines 1368-1373 require q to contain effective_heads. dense_mla_packed_q_local has only self.num_heads slots. The destination slice on Line 1389 is therefore too narrow, and pack_k3_query rejects the shape mismatch. Packed DCP decode fails before output reduction.

Allocate packed temporary storage for the replicated head count, or defer packing until after the replication path. Add a packed-query replication regression test.
