🟡 Nit: The veto is broader than the failure it prevents. sequential_pd_decode_form only returns a non-retryable 400 for M-RoPE grids, media refs, or n > 1 — a plain multimodal request (n=1, no refs, non-M-RoPE) is served fine by a --language-model-only decode via TextPlusHashes (that stripped leg was #2640's whole design). With this filter, a mixed pool funnels all multimodal decode traffic onto the vision-capable subset: e.g. a production-shape pool of many LMO decodes plus one vision decode added for M-RoPE traffic now concentrates every multimodal request's decode leg on that single worker, even though the LMO workers could serve most of them. n is knowable at selection time from the request, and M-RoPE-ness is derivable from the intermediate's grid tensors, so the veto could be narrowed to requests the stripped leg actually cannot serve. Non-blocking since the gate keeps this a preference rather than a hard filter, but the load-concentration tradeoff is worth a comment or a follow-up.

Agreed; narrowed in 1a9a62f. The veto now applies only to what the stripped leg cannot serve, mirroring sequential_pd_decode_form's three refusals: media references, n > 1 (RequestType::sampling_n), or M-RoPE grid tensors in the router-processed intermediate (MultimodalIntermediate::has_mrope_grids, over the shared grid-key list). A plain image request (n = 1, no references, no grids) is not steered away from a language-model-only decode, so the many-LMO-plus-one-vision pool keeps its load spread. Test: decode_needs_vision_only_for_what_the_stripped_leg_cannot_serve.

🟡 Nit: This sets requires_vision for every mode, and reselect routes EncodePrefillDecode through select_pd_pair, so an EPD retry now applies the vision filter that initial EPD selection never applies — the PR description says EPD selection is unchanged, but its retry path isn't. In EPD the encode fleet processes the pixels and request building drops them from the prefill leg, so the decode leg doesn't obviously need a vision encoder; the filter can needlessly steer a vLLM EPD retry away from LMO decodes its first selection was happy to use. It stays non-fatal thanks to the vision_decode_open gate, but if the EPD behavior change is unintended, consider deriving requires_vision only for the PD path (or documenting that EPD retries are deliberately included).

Right, that was unintended; fixed in 1a9a62f: the pin (ProcessingState::multimodal_payload → WireConstraint::requires_vision) is set only in the PrefillDecode arm, so an EPD retry re-selects as its first selection did. Stated in the PR body.

Reviewed the vision-capable decode-leg gating for multimodal PD requests.
The core logic is sound: the vision_decode_open gate mirrors select_pair's eligibility (availability + wire pin) and its homogeneous-runtime narrowing exactly, so whenever the filter is applied a pairable vision-capable pair is guaranteed to exist, and with none open the pool is used as-is with dispatch naming the incompatibility — no request that succeeds today can newly fail (modulo the inherent gate→select availability race, which is the same TOCTOU window the existing pairing already has). The prefill-side check in the gate is correct and well-tested by an_unpairable_vision_decode_worker_does_not_shut_out_the_pool, and the retry pin via WireConstraint::requires_vision composes correctly with select_pd_pair's wire OR.
Findings: 0 🔴 Important, 2 🟡 Nit, 0 🟣 Pre-existing
- 🟡 The veto covers all multimodal requests, though
sequential_pd_decode_formonly 400s for M-RoPE / media refs / n>1 — in a mixed pool this concentrates decode load that LMO workers could serve via the stripped leg (worker_selection.rs:700). - 🟡 EPD retries now apply the vision filter that initial EPD selection never applies, since
requires_visionis derived mode-agnostically andreselectroutes EPD throughselect_pd_pair(context.rs:851).
Neither is blocking; both are load-steering/consistency tradeoffs the gate keeps non-fatal.

🔴 Important: request.sampling_n() > 1 triggers the veto with no multimodal content at all, but sequential_pd_decode_form only refuses n>1 when the request has multimodal inputs (!relay_kv_params && request.has_mm_inputs() in request_execution.rs — its own test expects sequential_pd_decode_form(&text, true, false) to succeed as TextPlusHashes). A pure-text chat with n=2 (intermediate None, media_refs false) is fully servable by a --language-model-only decode worker — recomputing a text prompt locally needs no vision encoder — yet this steers it onto the vision-capable subset, marks ctx.state.multimodal_payload = true for a text request, and pins its retries via WireConstraint::requires_vision. In the PR's own motivating rollout pool (many LMO decodes + one vision decode), n>1 text generation is the dominant traffic shape, so this re-creates the load concentration the narrowing was meant to remove. The n>1 term should be gated on multimodal presence, e.g.:
media_refs
|| intermediate.is_some_and(|i| {
request.sampling_n() > 1 || i.has_mrope_grids()
})The test decode_needs_vision_only_for_what_the_stripped_leg_cannot_serve currently enshrines the over-trigger (decode_needs_vision(&chat(Some(2)), None, false) asserted true); it should instead assert false for text-only n>1 and true for n>1 with an intermediate (the actual Full-form recompute case).

Right, fixed in 415a4a8: the n > 1 term is gated on multimodal presence (intermediate.is_some_and(|i| request.sampling_n() > 1 || i.has_mrope_grids())), mirroring sequential_pd_decode_form's has_mm_inputs() condition, so a text request of any n is neither vetoed nor pinned. The test now asserts text n = 2 → no veto and a gridless image intermediate at n = 2 → veto.

🟡 Nit: Self::Generate falls into the _ => None arm, but GenerateRequest carries both sampling_params.n and multimodal inputs (image_data/video_data/audio_data). A multimodal generate request with n > 1 on the vLLM PD path therefore skips the vision veto and can still land on a --language-model-only decode worker, failing at dispatch with the non-retryable pd_decode_language_model_only_n_samples 400 this PR sets out to prevent. Consider Self::Generate(r) => r.sampling_params.as_ref().and_then(|p| p.n).

Fixed in 415a4a8: sampling_n reads Self::Generate(r) => r.sampling_params.as_ref().and_then(|p| p.n) as well, so a multimodal generate request with n > 1 is vetoed like a chat one.

🟡 Nit: sampling_n was inserted between rid()'s doc comment and rid() itself, so the "Client-supplied backend request id (rid)…" paragraph now heads sampling_n's rustdoc and rid() is left undocumented. Move the new method (with its doc) below rid() or above the rid doc block.

Fixed in 415a4a8: sampling_n (with its own doc) now sits above rid's doc block, which is back on rid.

…eg cannot serve A PD request whose decode leg a --language-model-only decode worker cannot take (media references, n > 1, M-RoPE grids: the cases sequential_pd_decode_form refuses with a non-retryable 400) leaves such workers out of the pairing while the pair index has an open vision-capable prefill with an open vision-capable partner on its runtime, instead of failing after selection; with no such pair the pool is used as it is and dispatch names the incompatibility. A plain image request (n = 1, no references, no grids) takes the stripped leg and is not steered away from it, so a mostly language-model-only pool keeps its load. Retries on the PD path re-select under the same pin (WireConstraint::requires_vision); EPD is not pinned.

Closing: the pairing logic this patch targets was replaced on main since it was written; the gap it addressed (a vision-capable decode leg for multimodal requests) stays tracked and will be re-implemented against the current code. |

Description
Problem
From the review of #2640:
sequential_pd_decode_formanswers a multimodal request with a non-retryable 400 (pd_decode_language_model_only_mrope/_media_refs/_n_samples) when the selected decode worker runs--language-model-only, after selection, with no retry to a capable worker. In a decode pool that mixes language-model-only and vision-capable workers (a rollout, or a pool serving text and vision traffic), a policy pick that lands on the wrong worker fails the request even though a capable pair was available. #2640's own description lists this as the follow-up (a vision-compatibility factor so such a pool "is never selected for an M-RoPE model in the first place", refs #2483).Solution
For a request whose decode leg such a worker cannot take (
decode_needs_vision: media references, or a multimodal request withn > 1, or M-RoPE grid tensors in the router-processed intermediate, the exact casessequential_pd_decode_formrefuses; a text request of anynis never vetoed, since recomputing a text prompt needs no encoder),select_pd_pairleaves--language-model-onlydecode workers out of the pairing while the pair index has an open vision-capable prefill with an open vision-capable partner on its runtime, both on the retained wire when one is pinned. A plain image request (n = 1, no references, no grids) takes such a worker's strippedTextPlusHashesleg and is not steered away from it, so a production-shape pool of many language-model-only decodes plus one vision decode keeps its load spread. The gate reads the index (pairs.prefill/pairs.partners), not the decode pool, so a vision-capable worker that pairs with nothing cannot shut out the pool; and it checks both legs, sinceplacement::select_pairapplies the candidate filter to both. With no such pair the pool is used as it is and dispatch names the incompatibility exactly as today. Retries on the PD path re-select under the same rule throughWireConstraint::requires_vision, set at first selection; EPD is not pinned (its encode fleet takes the pixels and its own selection never applies the veto). #2640's servicer probe is unchanged; the worker'ssupports_visionlabel is read as before. Low priority: uniform pools never see a difference.Changes
