DCP supports hybrid attention by Yancey0623 · Pull Request #40996 · vllm-project/vllm

Yancey0623 · 2026-04-27T09:37:59Z

Purpose

Add DCP support for hybrid-attention models. Hybrid-attention models such as Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B contain both DCP-capable full-attention layers and non-DCP layers. This PR enables DCP for supported
attention groups without globally blocking hybrid-attention DCP, while keeping
non-DCP groups on local cache/state handling.

Test Plan

Run focused hybrid-attention DCP validation with
tests/distributed/test_context_parallel.py using model Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B.

Tested two configurations:

Config	TP	DCP	Model
TP4	4	1	`Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B`
TP4DCP2	4	2	`Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B`
TP4DCP1	4	1	`Qwen/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8`
TP4DCP2	4	2	`Qwen/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8`

Test Result

Code Review

This pull request introduces support for Decode Context Parallelism (DCP) in hybrid models within the v1 engine, updating the KV cache coordinator, speculative decoding, and CUDA graph capture logic. Key modifications include a supports_dcp flag for layers, batch splitting for DCP execution in FlashAttention, and DCP-aware slot mapping kernels. Review feedback identifies critical bugs in the FlashAttention backend, specifically incorrect slicing of quantization descales by request count rather than token count and a lack of null checks for these descales in non-FP8 models. Furthermore, a typo in vllm/v1/worker/block_table.py using PAD_SLOT_ID instead of PADDING_SLOT_ID must be fixed to avoid runtime failures.

cf. #36480 for the previous work.

I remembered that it had accuracy issue on 397b MoE, wonder if it has been resolved.

@cjackal yes, there is no accuracy issue on Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8, and I also updated this test result in the description box.

Why do we need to handle the prefill and decode stages separately? Did I miss something?

it's used to split prefill-decode requests in a batch, and after code polish, this pr removed this split, please review the latest codebase, thanks!

- Move max_num_blocks_per_req sizing into KVCacheSpec subclasses: AttentionSpec applies DCP/PCP token sharding, MambaSpec keeps replicated-state sizing (align mode documents the row-length vs resident-blocks distinction and uses the encoder-aware max_len). Drops the Any-typed helper from cp_utils. - Reinitialize InputBatch when per-group max_num_blocks or slot-mapping modes change, not only block sizes; otherwise the unsharded placeholder sizing silently survives for single-group DCP models. - Reject hybrid KV cache layouts with dcp > 1 unless every group is full-attention or Mamba, restoring fail-closed behavior for e.g. sliding-window hybrid models. - Scope the DCP + speculative-decoding ban to hybrid models; non-hybrid DCP + MTP remains supported. - Keep prefix caching opt-in rather than default-on for hybrid models; the capability is still reported as supported. - Remove the dead CUDA-tensor branch in split_dcp_context_queries.

The skip-context-attention fast path was gated on this rank's local context length (get_dcp_local_seq_lens with dcp_rank). Contexts shorter than a full interleave round land entirely on a subset of DCP ranks, so ranks with zero local context took the early return in _forward_with_dcp and skipped the query all-gather + LSE-combine collectives while other ranks entered them, deadlocking the DCP group (e.g. first decode after a short prompt, or a short chunked-prefill step). Gate on the global context lengths instead, which are identical on all ranks. Cold pure-prefill batches (global context == 0) still skip; a rank whose local share is empty now runs the context pass with zero seqused_k and contributes -inf LSE, as before this optimization.

Wire the same control plane into the v1 GPUModelRunner: PatchModelRunnerMixin, _init_patch_state, per-step _update_patch_buffers, and add/finish hooks. Move the runner-agnostic _patch_add_request into the base mixin (shared by both runners). Root fix: set the process-global patch slot count before the v1 model build so register_steering_buffers attaches patch buffers (the v2 runner already did this; v1 did not, so no patchable layers were discovered). GPU-validated on gemma3-4b (v1 runner) and Qwen3-0.6B (both runners), eager + cudagraph: no-op/self-identity bit-exact, cross-run replace reproduces clean, denoising surfaces the clean answer. * docs: activation patching feature doc + interp-infra OVERVIEW index * feat(steering): log sync-capture VRAM footprint + robust declarative probe-site parsing * docs(steering): declarative capture footprint + probe-site notes (§8.2) * fix(patch): patched KV must not poison the prefix cache A patched request re-forwards from its patch floor and registers its computed blocks under vanilla token hashes, so a later unpatched request with the same prompt could be served the patched KV (GPU repro: 0.47 max logprob corruption; only unnoticed because short validation prompts never filled a full block). Fold a deterministic patch-spec hash into the block hashes of all blocks at or after the lowest patched position (attention propagates the patch forward), the same mechanism steering uses. Blocks below the floor stay shareable, preserving the corrupt-prefix sharing that makes sweeps cheap; distinct specs get distinct KV chains. GPU-validated both ways: with the fix an unpatched rerun after a patched run is bit-identical to a fresh-engine ground truth; with the fix disabled it differs by 0.47. * fix(steering): gate vector registry on dev-mode only, not the steering API key * feat(patch): exact answer grading via logprob_token_ids Sweep cells graded the answer/foil by looking them up in the generated top-k logprobs — an answer outside top-k graded as None (top-k boundary flicker), silently dropping cells from the grid. Use the engine's logprob_token_ids to score the answer/foil ids exactly on every request: the sweep endpoint resolves answer_token/foil_token to single token ids via the tokenizer (400 if multi-token), and PatchStudy resolves them via /tokenize, both passing the ids through (logprob_token_ids is now exposed on the completions API). The engine requires logprobs == len(ids) when ids are given. Live-validated: a token far outside top-1 is reported exactly; the full sweep grid grades every cell (0 top-k None-mismatches, 63/63 cells). * fix(patch): lease source runs against eviction + void silently-unpatched cells A source run evicted between admission (manifest check, positively cached) and worker resolution made the patch entry log-and-skip: the request ran UNPATCHED and its sweep cell silently reported the corrupt baseline as a patched result. Two layers of defense: - Leases: the admission path leases referenced runs on the workers (throttled to ~one RPC per run per half-TTL); store eviction skips unexpired-leased runs, soft-exceeding the byte budget with a warning instead of un-patching in-flight requests. Live-validated: a leased run survives capture pressure that would previously have evicted it, and re-sweeps grade 4/4 cells. - Backstop: any residual resolution miss is recorded per-request in a worker registry; the sweep endpoint drains it after each sweep (collective_rpc) and voids the affected cells (grid=None + skipped[] entries) instead of returning unpatched values. * refactor(patch): resolve buffer slots from the VllmConfig context, not a runner-set global The process-global slot count had to be set by each runner before its model build — the v1 runner didn't, which shipped patching as a silent no-op there. Resolve the slot count inside maybe_register_patch_buffers from get_current_vllm_config_or_none() (models are always built under set_current_vllm_config, on every runner), removing the runner-side setup from both runners; the global remains only as a test-context fallback. GPU-checked: buffers register and patching validates on both runners with no runner code. * fix(steering): content-keyed bounded probe tensor cache * fix(steering): bridged overrides preserve compose_admitted * fix(steering): fail-safe declarative gate resolution at admission * feat(patch): clean/corrupt token-position alignment source_position == dest_position silently patches shifted positions when the clean and corrupt prompts tokenize to different lengths — a plausible-looking but wrong heatmap. Add alignment: equal lengths map identity (corresponding positions are the causal-tracing pairing); unequal lengths map the common token prefix by identity and the common suffix by the length delta, and skip the differing middle loudly (skipped[] + alignment summary in the response). The sweep endpoint takes clean_prompt and refuses a length mismatch without it (the source run's captured prompt length is exposed via the admission cache); PatchStudy records the clean prompt on CleanRun and aligns automatically on both the per-cell and server-side paths. Live-validated: mismatch 400s without clean_prompt; an 11-vs-9-token pair aligns (prefix 4, suffix 4, middle skipped) and grades 16/16 aligned cells. * feat(patch): report empirical batch-nondeterminism noise floor per sweep vLLM is not batch-invariant by default, so identical requests in different batch compositions return slightly different logprobs. Rather than forcing batch-invariant mode (a server-wide throughput tax far below causal-tracing signal), each sweep re-runs the corrupt baseline inside the cell batch and reports |delta| vs the solo baseline as noise_floor — grid differences at or below it are not meaningful. Docs point at batch_invariance for exact reproducibility. * fix(steering): declarative probe gates fail closed * fix(steering): port declarative override parity (compose+precedence) to v2 runner * test(steering): update stale fixtures for post-#217/#219 runner state * test(patch): alpha-interpolation GPU check + reject multimodal prompts - gpu_patch_validate gains check F: at the best denoising site, alpha in {0, 0.5, 1} must move the answer logprob monotonically corrupt -> clean (exact grading via logprob_token_ids). Validates the lerp path between its endpoints, which was only CPU-tested. - Chat admission rejects patch specs on multimodal prompts: prompt positions include image placeholder tokens, so patch positions would target placeholder activations — semantically undefined and unvalidated.
