Purpose

Observed 10-15% latency performance regression for serving Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507; trace revealed that kernel_paged_attention_2d was the culprit, taking 1.33x as long on average on v0.25.0 vs v0.24.0. #47305 fixed correctness but introduced performance drop because of universally applied masking.

Edited masking so that it is only enacted during last block, when token id can be greater than sequence length.

Test Plan

Latency

Ensure that fixes solve benchmark latency issue.
VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER=1 vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507 --dtype float16 -tp 1 --no-enable-prefix-caching --disable-uvicorn-access-log
vllm bench serve --model Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507 --percentile-metrics tpot,ttft,itl,e2el --dataset-name random --ignore-eos --temperature 0 --max-concurrency 1 --num-prompts 10 --random-input-len 1024 --random-output-len 1024

Accuracy

Ensure accuracy remains using gsm8k benchmark.
lm_eval --model local-completions
--model_args model=Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507,base_url=http://0.0.0.0:8000/v1/completions,num_concurrent=256,max_retries=10,max_gen_toks=2048
--batch_size auto --tasks gsm8k --num_fewshot 5 --limit 1000

Test Result

Latency

Metric v0.24.0 baseline v0.25.0 (before fix) v0.25.0 + fix
Output tok/s 91.33 79.76 97.08
Mean TPOT (ms) 10.69 12.25 10.23
Median E2EL (ms) 11006 12613 10546

Accuracy

gsm8k, 5-shot, --limit 1000, same serve config:

Filter v0.24.0 baseline v0.25.0 + fix
flexible-extract 0.901 ± 0.0094 0.913 ± 0.0089
strict-match 0.920 ± 0.0086 0.917 ± 0.0087

Deltas (+1.2pt flexible, −0.3pt strict) are within stderr.

Thanks @afriedri! This looks good. Keeping the mask off until the last block looks like it should work!
