Summary

DeepseekV32IndexerBackend and ROCMAiterMLASparseBackend both advertise [1, 64] from get_supported_kernel_block_sizes() (added by #41217). select_common_block_size picks the minimum, so the KV cache is always built with block_size=1 on ROCm.

With block_size=1 the gluon preshuffle path introduced in #41217 is never activated:

  • Preshuffle=block_size==64 evaluates to False
  • Indexer Triton kernels use NHD layout instead of SHUFFLE
  • Decode falls back to the slower stage1+reduce_sum two-kernel pipeline

Fix: return [64] only (matching CUDA behaviour). This makes select_common_block_size pick 64 and activates the full #41217 optimisation:

  • 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())

…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())
