Purpose

Extend the Kimi-K3 prefill checkpoint optimization from #52789 to support:

  • speculative decoding / Eagle block rewind;
  • partial prefix caching (prefix_match_unit < Mamba block size); and
  • checkpoint blocks restored through KV connectors such as MooncakeStore.

The cache manager and FlashKDA worker share the same checkpoint-validity rules, so a checkpoint block is allocated and hashed only when the worker can write it. For an aligned partial checkpoint, the already reserved request-owned checkpoint block is re-keyed from its provisional boundary to the state position actually exported by FlashKDA.

This PR keeps the block allocation, eviction, and free lifecycle introduced in #52789.

Test Plan

  • Run pre-commit and the KDA metadata, Mamba aligned-chunk, partial-prefix-cache, and prefix-caching unit tests.
  • Deploy Kimi-K3 with TP8/EP8 on two 4-GPU nodes using FlashKDA (DS conv-state layout), prefix caching, and public Inferact/Kimi-K3-DSpark speculative decoding.
  • Compare non-partial prefix caching with prefix_match_unit=128 by sending exact token-ID prompts to /v1/completions: 8 streams grow from 120K to 164K by 2K per round, with a barrier between rounds and three measured repeats per variant.
  • With D-Spark-7 and Partial128 enabled, run the complete 1,000-sample OCR-Bench three times sequentially and audit all saved responses.
  • Retain the MooncakeStore + NIXL PD E2E coverage previously run for this PR.

Nightly image used for the latest regression:

inferactinc/dev:vllm-k3-arm64-cu13-7b1bb3a

The PR source was overlaid on this image and _C_stable_libtorch.so was rebuilt
from the same main commit because the binary bundled in the image predates the
current Kimi-K3 custom-op ABI.

Important server options for the latest run:

export VLLM_SSM_CONV_STATE_LAYOUT=DS
export VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=TOKENSPEED_MLA
export VLLM_KIMI_K3_GEMM_RS=1
export TOKENSPEED_MLA_PREFILL_BACKEND=cutedsl

  --enforce-eager

The non-partial variant uses the same deployment without --prefix-match-unit 128.

Test Result

Static and unit tests

  • Pre-commit: all hooks passed on every changed file.
  • Focused unit suite: 113 passed.
  • The aligned re-key regression covers B=H=32, prompt length 104, and Eagle rewind: the provisional hash@96 checkpoint block is re-keyed to the exported state@64 boundary, and the stale hash is removed.

Latest-nightly TP8 performance

The PR-description workload was run unchanged: exact token-ID prompts sent to
/v1/completions, 8 streams, 120K to 164K, +2K per round, and a barrier after
each group of 8 requests. Each variant used one complete unmeasured workload
warmup followed by three measured repeats. All 528 incremental requests per
variant completed without failures.

Variant Incremental P50 TTFT Effective req/s Mean cached tokens Mean recomputed tokens
D-Spark-7, non-partial 1,526.59 ms 4.639 138,196.36 4,803.64
D-Spark-7, Partial128 1,136.22 ms 5.941 140,590.55 2,409.45

Partial128 cached 2,394.18 more tokens per incremental request and reduced
recomputation by 49.84%. Incremental P50 TTFT improved by 25.57% and
effective throughput improved by 28.08%. Mean cold TTFT was effectively
unchanged (4,696.35 vs. 4,675.71 ms, -0.44%).

Per-repeat P50 TTFT:

Variant Repeat 1 Repeat 2 Repeat 3
Non-partial 1,535.89 ms 1,520.75 ms 1,523.12 ms
Partial128 1,110.32 ms 1,088.71 ms 1,209.62 ms

OCR-Bench: D-Spark-7 + Partial128

All three runs used one unchanged deployment and processed the full benchmark sequentially.

Run Accuracy Standard error Scored samples Request errors Suspect outputs
1 0.881 0.0102 1,000 0 0
2 0.889 0.0099 1,000 0 0
3 0.886 0.0101 1,000 0 0
Mean 0.8853 3,000 0 0

All 3,000 responses contained non-empty reasoning. Five responses reached the configured 8,192-token generation limit (1/2/2 across the runs); all were saved and scored. No null-block, stale-state, assertion, or engine failures were observed. Slurm job 12088 completed successfully (0:0).

MooncakeStore + NIXL PD E2E

Earlier coverage used one TP8 prefill deployment and one TP8 decode deployment. Prefix caching and MooncakeStore (kv_both, TCP) were enabled only on prefill; NIXL transferred KV state to decode. Three sequential full OCR-Bench runs scored 0.884, 0.885, and 0.896 (mean 0.888), with 3,000/3,000 responses scored, zero request errors, zero empty reasoning traces, and zero suspect responses. The connector logs contained no transfer, assertion, or engine failures.

AI assistance was used to implement and refine this change; the author reviewed the changed code and ran the tests above.

Thanks for the work!

Please also take a look at these AI generated comments

1. On test_kda_metadata.py:
This expectation contradicts the alias guard. Here, initial_state_col = (16 - 1) // 64 = 0 and checkpoint_col = ceil(100 / 64) - 2 = 0, so the checkpoint would overwrite the initial-state slot and must be rejected. This test currently fails because actual.checkpoint is None. Please either assert None and rename the test, or choose dimensions where the two columns are distinct.

2. On scheduler.py:
This change breaks test_hybrid_cache_mamba_align_shared_prefix_detection: its scheduler stub only defines cache_config.block_size, so this line raises AttributeError. Please update the stub in test_prefix_caching.py with block_size=block_size.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved prefix-cache reuse for hybrid Mamba and full-attention models, including partial-prefix and hash-aligned queries.
    • Improved Kimi-K3 FlashKDA prefill checkpoint handling.
    • Enhanced speculative decoding across checkpoint and replay boundaries.
  • Reliability

    • Improved checkpoint validation, alignment, replacement, and reuse across cache boundaries.
    • Improved handling of partial cache offloads, irregular query ranges, and resumed prefills.
    • Improved checkpoint behavior for multi-stage workloads and configurable Mamba model layouts.

Walkthrough

The change centralizes Mamba prefill-checkpoint rules, adds FlashKDA alignment metadata, updates scheduler and cache-manager handling, supports EAGLE replay boundaries, and expands CUDA and prefix-cache coverage.

Changes

Mamba checkpoint flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checkpoint contracts and metadata
vllm/v1/kv_cache_interface.py, vllm/models/kimi_k3/nvidia/kda.py, vllm/models/kimi_k3/nvidia/kda_metadata.py, tests/models/kimi_k3/test_kda_metadata.py
MambaSpec now carries checkpoint alignment. Shared helpers compute checkpoint positions and validity. KDA metadata and CUDA tests use these rules.
Checkpoint-aware scheduling
vllm/v1/core/sched/scheduler.py, tests/v1/core/test_mamba_align_chunk_split.py, tests/v1/core/prefix_cache/test_partial_prefix_cache_hits.py, tests/v1/core/test_prefix_caching.py
The scheduler selects position-based checkpoints and suppresses conflicting chunk boundaries. Fixtures expose block_size directly and test varied scheduling budgets.
Checkpoint allocation and cache publication
vllm/v1/core/single_type_kv_cache_manager.py, vllm/v1/core/block_pool.py, vllm/v1/core/kv_cache_coordinator.py
MambaManager tracks absolute checkpoint positions, allocates checkpoint slots during speculative execution, and publishes partial checkpoint hashes with exact boundary offsets.
Partial-prefix and replay validation
tests/v1/core/prefix_cache/test_partial_prefix_cache_hits.py, tests/models/kimi_k3/test_kda_metadata.py
Tests cover checkpoint publication, EAGLE boundaries, resumed queries, partial-prefix behavior, and worker-computed metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to babae

This change expands Mamba checkpointing for speculative decoding and partial-prefix caching. Wrapped Mamba cache specifications may still bypass checkpoint support, which can reduce caching effectiveness and add unnecessary prefill work; this is a bounded follow-up risk.

Thanks for the work, could you also shrink the diff so it is easier to land? Ideally < 600 LOC

Also please take a loot at these AI generated comments

1. On single_type_kv_cache_manager.py:
Block-aligned EAGLE checkpoints also need re-keying. With hash_block_size == mamba_block_size == 32 and num_tokens=104, the worker writes state@64 into the reserved slot, but this early return leaves that block registered and offloaded as state@96. A connector may later restore state@64 as state@96, producing incorrect output. Please either write the checkpoint to its natural slot or replace the reserved block’s hash even when the checkpoint is block-aligned.

2. On kda_metadata.py:
This direct access breaks test_kda_recoverssm_startup_metadata_flow_without_model, whose cache_config stub does not define prefix_match_unit. The test now fails with AttributeError. Please add prefix_match_unit=None to that fixture or use a compatible fallback here.

Thanks for the suggestion, both comments are correct, now use replace_existing_hashes to force re-key cached checkpoint block(partial/non-partial) and fix the test.

also shrink the diff(mostly the test code) for better landing the PR.
