Purpose

Two CLI-settable integer config fields silently accept negative values that no
validator rejects:

  • ModelConfig.max_logprobs (vllm/config/model.py:234) — declared int = 20
    with no constraint. _validate_logprobs only rewrites the == -1 sentinel;
    every other negative survives. For logprob-requesting traffic the error
    message reflects the malformed cap back at the user
    ("max allowed: -5"); for logprob-free traffic the validator is skipped
    entirely and the flag is a pure no-op.

  • SchedulerConfig.long_prefill_token_threshold (vllm/config/scheduler.py:80)
    — declared int = 0 with no constraint. The scheduler clamp is guarded by
    0 < threshold, so any negative makes the conjunct False and the user-set
    cap has zero effect on scheduling. The existing sanity check only rejects
    the too-large case.

Same admission shape that #43794 tightened for other config fields.

Fixes #43985

Test Plan

For this small update, do not need specific unit tests

Test Result

None


Duplicate-work check: gh pr list --search "43985 in:body",
--search "long_prefill_token_threshold validate",
--search "max_logprobs Field ge" — no open PR addresses this issue.

Reference: same Field(default=..., ge=N) admission-tightening pattern as
the recently merged #43794 (fixes #43496, #43521, #43532).

…en_threshold

`ModelConfig.max_logprobs` and `SchedulerConfig.long_prefill_token_threshold`
are CLI-settable ints with no Pydantic constraint, so negative values are
stored verbatim. Downstream code only special-cases specific sentinels, so
the malformed flag is either silently ineffective or surfaces a confusing
"max allowed: <negative>" message — same admission shape that vllm-project#43794
tightened for other config fields.

Add `Field(default=20, ge=-1)` to `max_logprobs` (-1 is the existing
"no cap, use vocab size" sentinel) and `Field(default=0, ge=0)` to
`long_prefill_token_threshold` (0 is the existing "disabled" sentinel).

Fixes vllm-project#43985

both constraints are right and the sentinels are preserved correctly — ge=-1 still admits the -1 "no cap" sentinel for max_logprobs while rejecting -5, and ge=0 keeps 0=disabled for the threshold. matches the two fields #43985 actually names, and the docstring clarification on 0 disables is a nice touch.

tests cover sentinel-accept + negative-reject for both. lgtm from my read.

…l_token_threshold

Both fields were declared as bare `int` with no Field constraint, and the
downstream validation chain only handled specific values:

- `max_logprobs`: only `-1` is rewritten to vocab_size; other negatives
  flow through and either land in a confusing "max allowed: -5" error or
  silently no-op on the cap check.
- `long_prefill_token_threshold`: the clamp is guarded by
  `0 < threshold < num_new_tokens` and the cap by `> max_model_len`, so a
  negative value matches neither and silently passes through unvalidated.

Add field_validators (mode="after"), matching the pattern landed in vllm-project#43794
and the recent vllm-project#44002 / vllm-project#44042 / vllm-project#44057. `max_logprobs` keeps the `-1`
sentinel for auto-derive; `long_prefill_token_threshold` requires `>= 0`
(0 = off, > 0 = clamp).

Fixes vllm-project#43985.

…vents configs

Add @field_validator decorators to reject invalid configuration values
at construction time, preventing silent failures and confusing errors.

- flash_attn_max_num_splits_for_cuda_graph: reject non-positive values
- tq_max_kv_splits_for_cuda_graph: reject non-positive values
- flex_attn_block_m, flex_attn_block_n: validate >= 16 and power of 2
- flex_attn_q_block_size, flex_attn_kv_block_size: validate power of 2

- buffer_steps: reject non-positive values
- hwm: reject non-positive values
- max_queue_size: reject non-positive values

- kv_buffer_size: reject non-positive values
- kv_rank: reject negative values when set
- kv_parallel_size: reject non-positive values
- kv_port: validate port range [1, 65535]

- ec_buffer_size: reject non-positive values
- ec_rank: reject negative values when set
- ec_parallel_size: reject non-positive values
- ec_port: validate port range [1, 65535]

These fields currently accept invalid values that downstream code doesn't
expect, leading to:
- Silent no-ops (negative values ignored by conditionals)
- Runtime errors with confusing messages
- Undefined behavior

Pattern follows recent PRs: vllm-project#43794, vllm-project#44002, vllm-project#44070, vllm-project#44093, vllm-project#44125

All validators use mode='after' with clear error messages following
project conventions.
