[Bugfix] Drop Mooncake store saves missing from the block-state snapshot - #55066
Woolgathererer wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
_apply_current_save_block_ids asserted that every can_save request has an entry in kv_connector_block_state.block_ids. The snapshot only covers requests scheduled in the current step, but a request rescheduled after a KV load failure recovery can still produce a save ReqMeta while sitting outside it, so the assert killed EngineCore and failed all in-flight requests whenever the store degraded. Skip the save for such requests with a warning instead, and roll the request tracker back to its pre-emission save watermark so a later step re-attempts the chunk. Dropped metas never carry a load (from_request_tracker mutually excludes save and load), so no load is lost, and Mamba boundary-state requests are always in the snapshot by construction, so the exact-block guarantees from vllm-project#51358 are unaffected.

WalkthroughThe Mooncake scheduler now drops save requests missing from the current block snapshot, restores their saved-token position for later retry, and logs a warning. A regression test verifies that pending saves outside the snapshot produce no connector requests and retain zero saved tokens. ChangesMooncake save recovery
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Mooncake load-recovery saves that fall outside the current block snapshot are now deferred rather than terminating EngineCore, with their progress restored for a later retry.

Hello @ApostaC @xuechendi @ivanium @NickLucche, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this. Thanks in advance! |

Additional workload evidence for the failure mode and the warn/drop behavior:
This supports treating the change as a reliability fix: dropping the optional stale cache write kept serving alive. I do not have isolated evidence of a throughput improvement and would not attribute performance credit to the guard. I also independently arrived at a similar draft, then closed it as a duplicate of this PR after running the repository's duplicate-work checks. This comment was prepared with OpenAI Codex assistance; the account owner should independently review the evidence. |
Thanks @anish-shanbhag for reproducing this and sharing the results. This is very helpful validation of the failure mode and the warn/drop behavior. |

Closing this PR as superseded by #54643 and #54853. After rebasing locally and checking the original reproduction, the cases covered by this PR are now handled by those fixes. I agree that keeping the assertion helps catch connector or scheduler invariant violations. Thanks for the review and discussion! |

What this PR does / why we need it?
Fixes #54870.
_apply_current_save_block_idsasserted that everycan_saverequest has an entry inkv_connector_block_state.block_ids. That snapshot only covers requests scheduled in the current step, but after a KV load failure recovery (#19330) a request can be rescheduled outside the snapshot while acan_save=TrueReqMeta is still produced for it. When the store degrades (SSD read failures, transfer errors), the assert fires and kills EngineCore, failing all in-flight requests.This PR converts that path into warn + drop + rollback:
req_meta.token_ids_start), so a later step re-attempts the chunk instead of permanently skipping it.Safety analysis of the drop:
ReqMeta.from_request_trackermutually excludes save and load, so no load is lost._handle_boundary_state_offloadsalready drops offloads conservatively for requests without a tracker/unfinished entry (finished/preempted within the step), and the core snapshot includes boundary-state request ids by construction, so [Bugfix][Mooncake] Save exact Mamba boundary states #51358's exact-block guarantees are unaffected._reference_save_blocks, so no store job is pinned for them.Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No output/accuracy change. Under store degradation with KV load failure recovery enabled, the engine now survives and skips the affected save chunk (logged as a warning) instead of crashing and 500ing all in-flight requests.
