This one looks good. @njhill if I may pick your brain, the only caveat I see here is that we haven't looked for dcp support explicitly before, but now we will in backend.py. This is probably the right thing to do? But may escape something that maybe shouldn't have worked before. You cool with it?
Preserve AITER attention-sink semantics while integrating the ROCm sparse Triton path for rope-free MLA. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Karatzas <akaratza@amd.com>
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a non-persistent MLA decode LSE operation and integrates attention sinks into the ROCm AITER sparse backend. The change adds head padding, LSE propagation, metadata gating, DCP validation, and ROCm-specific correctness tests. ChangesROCm AITER MLA sink support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The implementation is broadly mergeable, but it retains avoidable FP8 decode overhead on non-gfx942 hardware and two tests can overlook excess numerical error on the gfx942 fallback path.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reject unsupported gfx942 BF16 sink configurations during construction.
When on_gfx942() is true, sinks are enabled, the effective query and KV dtypes are BF16, and the effective local head count is 64, ROCMAiterMLASparseImpl.__init__ can reject the configuration. The on_mi3xx() bucket logic makes both 48 and 64 local heads reach this count. Profiling skips _forward_mla when attn_metadata is None, so --enforce-eager can start the engine before the first real MQA request raises ValueError. Full CUDA-graph capture can raise during startup instead. Use the same effective-head and dtype checks in __init__, while preserving the _use_rocm_sparse_triton branch.

Gate the two-split FP8 fallback to gfx942.
When get_meta_param returns one split, this branch forces two splits on every FP8 ROCm target. The required workaround is gfx942-specific. This changes gfx950 one-split decodes to run unnecessary split-reducer work. Guard this override with the gfx942 platform check and preserve the selected split count on other targets.

Both tests discard the LSE returned by the call and then infer the dispatch path fromdtype._forward_mlaroutes BF16 to the Triton fallback whenon_gfx942() and 32 < mla_num_heads <= 64, and that path rounds the output once and returnsNonefor the LSE.

I checked the inheritance and the new method reads get_impl_cls().supports_dcp, and that implementation flag already defaulted to True before this PR. Triton MLA therefore remains eligible. However, I’m already preparing a follow-up that defaults the base to False and explicitly enables the existing DCP implementations, including Triton MLA, dense AITER MLA, and FlashAttention, with regression tests covering selection. Triton MLA DCP generation was verified locally on ROCm btw.

HY-V4 introduced learnable attention sinks in #54160, but its ROCm initialization was unsupported in AMD build 12635 and build 12653. This PR supplies reusable sparse-MLA sink support required by the model enablement in #54405. Local MI300 validation also exposed empty-row NaNs, rejected FP16 inputs and missing native BF16 kernels for the 64-head bucket; those cases now execute correctly.
