From 9fce8e34c873090196a00a1cdc2cf1d7e1c87202 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: c0de128 Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 23:19:13 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] [Bugfix][ROCm] Fix list aliasing bug in fused MoE expert ID initialization Fix critical bug where `[[value] * n] * m` creates m references to the SAME inner list instead of m independent lists. Before (buggy): s_topk_ids_list = [[fake_expertid] * n] * max_num_tokens # All indices point to the same list - modifying one affects all After (fixed): s_topk_ids_list = [[fake_expertid] * n for _ in range(max_num_tokens)] # Each index has its own independent list This bug caused incorrect expert ID assignments when is_EP=True, as the loop at line 74 would only appear to modify specific indices but actually all unmodified indices still referenced the shared list.
