[Bugfix] Reject shape-aliased prefills in uniform-decode classification - #53059
allenzz-dev wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
With spec decode enabled (uniform_decode_query_len = 1 + num_spec_tokens), a prefill batch whose scheduled tokens equal uniform_decode_query_len per request aliases the uniform-decode shape and is dispatched into the FULL cudagraph captured for spec decode. For backends with persistent metadata buffers (e.g. GDN), the capture-time buffers are never refreshed on this path, so prefill state writes are silently skipped and the request's recurrent state stays zero, producing deterministic garbage output. Make _is_uniform_decode require, in addition to the shape match, that every request in the batch is already past its prompt.

Confirming the same symptom class from our side: GB10 / sm_121a, Our variant was state-dependent rather than clean: the identical request body produced garbage on every occurrence in a production-warm engine, yet ran clean on a freshly idle engine before any config change. Consistent with shape-aliased prefill dispatch where the scheduled-token count depends on the prefix-cache residual — full details, the variant matrix, and a shape-reference body are in the comment above on #53051.

Independent hit of the same bug on Intel XPU (Arc Pro B70, Qwen3.8-27B GPTQ + BF16 MTP, k=4, FULL_AND_PIECEWISE): a 5-token prompt, and any 64N+5 prompt through mamba align-mode chunking, is dispatched to the FULL decode graph and comes back as NaN logprobs. Originally reported by @AnnoyingTechnology in vllm-project/vllm-xpu-kernels#548; I reproduced it there and traced it to this dispatch path.

End-to-end confirmation on Intel Arc Pro B70 (XPU), on a different GDN model than the reports above. Model: Qwen3.5-4B W4A16 (RedHatAI), one B70,
The fresh prefill of exactly 1+K tokens is classified as uniform decode, dispatched into the decode graph and the GDN state comes back zeroed, exactly as described in #53051. (One-token prompts fail separately for the reason in #51562 / #51565; that is fixed independently and is not affected by this change.) |

Purpose
FIX #53051 (same root cause as #49918)
With spec decode enabled,
GPUModelRunner._is_uniform_decodeclassifies batches by shape only. A prefill whose scheduled tokens equaluniform_decode_query_len (= 1 + num_spec_tokens)per request — e.g. a single (k+1)-token prompt — aliases the uniform-decode shape and is dispatched into the FULL cudagraph captured for spec decode. For attention backends with persistent metadata buffers (e.g. GDN / hybrid recurrent models), those buffers are only refreshed on the decode path, so the replay uses stale capture-time state indices (NULL block 0); the kernels' null-block guards silently skip all recurrent-state writes, the request's state stays zero forever, and output is deterministic garbage (details and measured evidence in #53051).This PR makes
_is_uniform_decodeadditionally require that every request in the batch is already past its prompt (num_computed_tokens >= num_prompt_tokens), so any batch still containing prefill tokens falls back to the mixed prefill-decode path. Theforce_uniform_decodeoverride used for cudagraph capture is preserved unchanged.Relationship to #47123: that PR addresses the same root cause by computing
force_uniform_decode=Falseinexecute_modelwhen a hybrid model's batch contains context requests. This PR is an alternative that fixes the classification at its source instead: the diff is smaller (no new caller-side state), it applies to all models rather than onlyis_hybrid(the q_len==1 aliasing of 1-token prompts exists without spec decode too), and the per-request check also covers chunked-prefill last chunks and mixed batches uniformly. If maintainers prefer the approach in #47123, I'm happy to close this one in its favor.Test Plan
