Fixes #47282
Root cause: After #46278 fixed the store-side compute-vs-store race, a second independent race remained on the load path. When a GPU block is freed and immediately reallocated as a load destination, the load DMA (on the dedicated low-priority
load_stream) can begin overwriting that block while a previous request attention computation is still reading it on the compute stream. No event bridges the two streams, so a write-after-read (WAR) hazard window opens.Fix: Record a compute-done event once (shared between load and store) and have both paths
wait_eventon it before launching DMA. This is the symmetric barrier the store path already had, applied to loads too.Verified by the issue author: garble rate 4.3% baseline → 0% with fix (Fisher exact p≈5e-41). No measurable throughput cost in healthy regimes.
Changes:
_store_compute_done→_compute_done(shared event)wait_event=self._compute_doneto load path as well
