Review in progress / experimentation for vllm-project#60946 — not ready to merge.

Suggestion: partition_batch emits is_padding in the PCP-gathered (rank-major) layout the MoE routes, built from the per-rank token counts every rank already has. No collective, no MoE runner or speculator changes. The PCP manager is now built before memory profiling (block tables attached at KV init) so profile/capture dummy batches get the same layout via prepare_inputs_for_capture_or_profile.

Tested:

  • tests/v1/worker/test_gpu_pcp_manager.py, test_gpu_model_runner_v2.py, test_gpu_target_dependent_ar_speculator.py, tests/v1/cudagraph/test_cudagraph_manager.py
  • DeepSeek-V2-Lite PCP=2 (eager, CUDA graphs, EP): base crashes with is_padding size mismatch, this runs
  • GLM-4.7-Flash PCP=2 + MTP: runs, AL 2.15 (PCP=1: 2.10)
  • GLM-5.3-NVFP4 TP2×PCP2 + DSpark, GSM8K 200: 0.99 / AL 5.64, identical to base

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Extract the generic PCP MoE padding-mask fix from vllm-project#59857 as requested by LucasWilkinson. Match the routing mask to gathered token rows and restore the local ForwardContext mask after the call.

Cache the gathered mask per forward and cover normal and exceptional exits for PCP1/2/4 and the all-to-all bypass.

MoERunner all-gathers PCP tokens before routing (without EP all2all), so the
routers need the padding mask in that rank-major gathered layout. Every rank
already knows the per-rank token counts, so PCPManager fills the gathered
mask while partitioning the batch and the forward context uses it; no
collective and no MoE runner changes.
