Summary

DeepSeek-V3.2 at TP4 (nhead=32) produces garbage output when HIP graphs are enabled. This is caused by the interaction of four issues introduced across #41217, #37646, #36823, and #41405:

  1. _AITER_UNSUPPORTED_HEADS=[32] incorrectly blocks nhead=32 from the AITER MLA decode path. AITER PR #2983 v2 added proper kernel support for this configuration.

  2. RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass and its aiter_ar.capture() context corrupt HIP graph replay for the sparse MLA attention path. Switch to the standard AllReduceFusionPass.

  3. UnsafeCloneEliminationPass and VllmIRInplaceFunctionalizationPass introduce subtle numerical corruption under graph capture, causing wrong MoE expert routing (manifests as bilingual/incoherent output).

  4. [ROCm][Bugfix] Fix init-time bias dtype cast when gate.out_dtype is None #41405 gate_out_dtype fallback casts e_score_correction_bias to bf16 when gate.out_dtype is None, causing precision loss in AITER biased_grouped_topk. Revert to .to(self.gate.out_dtype) which is a no-op when out_dtype is unset.

Changes

  • rocm_aiter_mla.py: Clear _AITER_UNSUPPORTED_HEADS (1 line)
  • pass_manager.py: Use AllReduceFusionPass instead of RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass; skip clone_elimination call
  • parallel_state.py: Remove aiter_ar.capture() from graph capture context
  • backends.py: Skip VllmIRInplaceFunctionalizationPass registration
  • deepseek_v2.py: Revert [ROCm][Bugfix] Fix init-time bias dtype cast when gate.out_dtype is None #41405 gate dtype fallback

Test plan

  • DeepSeek-V3.2 TP4 bf16 with HIP graphs — correct, coherent output
  • Same config with --enforce-eager — also correct (confirms compute logic unchanged)
  • DeepSeek-V3.2 TP8 — verify no regression
  • Non-MLA models on ROCm — verify allreduce fusion still works via standard pass

Code Review

This pull request removes manual pre-grad pass configuration, disables RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass due to HIP graph replay corruption issues, and removes clone_elimination from the pass manager. It also cleans up rocm_aiter_ops usage in distributed state and simplifies dtype handling in DeepSeek-V2. Feedback indicates that the import of RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass in pass_manager.py is now unused and should be removed.

The import of RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass is now unused because it has been replaced by AllReduceFusionPass in the configure method. It should be removed.

Tested the non-DeepSeek-specific parts of this PR on MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with ROCm / HIP graphs.

Model/setup:

  • MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5
  • vLLM 0.20.2rc1.dev34+g0c620d2e0.rocm722
  • ROCm, ROCM_AITER_UNIFIED_ATTN
  • TP2
  • GSM8K 5-shot, local-completions, 1319 prompts

Before applying the relevant PR changes, generation corrupted after the first token: repeated multilingual/junk text, and GSM8K was effectively zero.

After applying the relevant PR changes:

  • use standard AllReduceFusionPass instead of RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass
  • remove aiter_ar.capture() from graph capture
  • skip clone elimination
  • skip inplace functionalization

GSM8K results:

Filter exact_match
flexible-extract 0.9477 ± 0.0061
strict-match 0.9356 ± 0.0068

I did not test the DeepSeek-specific MLA/head/bias changes. This suggests the HIP graph / AITER allreduce / graph-pass corruption fixed here is not limited to DeepSeek and also affects MiniMax-M2.5.

Three issues combined to produce garbage output for DeepSeek-V3.2 at
TP4 (nhead=32) when HIP graphs are enabled:

1. _AITER_UNSUPPORTED_HEADS=[32] incorrectly blocked nhead=32 from the
   AITER MLA decode path. AITER PR vllm-project#2983 v2 added proper support for
   the m32x1_n16x1 kernel variant; remove the block.

2. RocmAiterAllReduceFusionPass and its aiter_ar.capture() context in
   parallel_state corrupted HIP graph replay for the sparse MLA
   attention path. Use the standard AllReduceFusionPass instead and
   remove the AITER allreduce capture context.

3. UnsafeCloneEliminationPass and VllmIRInplaceFunctionalizationPass
   introduced subtle numerical corruption under graph capture, causing
   wrong MoE expert routing (bilingual/incoherent output). Disable
   both passes.

4. PR vllm-project#41405 gate_out_dtype fallback cast e_score_correction_bias to
   bf16 when gate.out_dtype is None, causing precision loss in AITER
   biased_grouped_topk. Revert to the original .to(self.gate.out_dtype)
   which is a no-op when out_dtype is unset.

Tested: DeepSeek-V3.2 TP4 bf16 with HIP graphs produces correct,
coherent English output.

…A (block_size=64)

Both DeepseekV32IndexerBackend and ROCMAiterMLASparseBackend advertised
[1, 64] from get_supported_kernel_block_sizes(). select_common_block_size
picks the minimum, so the KV cache was always built with block_size=1.

With block_size=1 the gluon preshuffle path added in vllm-project#41217 is never
activated: Preshuffle=block_size==64 evaluates to False, the indexer
Triton kernels use the NHD layout instead of SHUFFLE, and the decode
falls back to the slower stage1+reduce_sum two-kernel pipeline.

Fix: advertise [64] only (matching CUDA behaviour), so block_size=64 is
selected and the full vllm-project#41217 optimisation fires:
  - deepgemm_fp8_paged_mqa_logits with Preshuffle=True, KVBlockSize=64
  - SHUFFLE layout in indexer_k_quant_and_cache / cp_gather_indexer
  - pre-built paged_kv_indptr (ragged metadata built once in build())

Superseded by #41816 (shared ROCm AITER HIP graph replay fix) + #41835 (DeepSeek-specific TP4 fixes). Closing this draft in favour of those two split PRs.

ROCm AITER allreduce fusion and graph-capture integration can corrupt HIP graph replay, causing decode-time accuracy failures. This splits the draft vLLM PR vllm-project#41760 by Frida to address the accuracy issues alone  while also scoping the graph-pass changes to ROCm AITER so other backends keep their existing compile pipeline.
