[None][perf] Wire in custom decode kernels for MinimaxM3 by brb-nv · Pull Request #18611 · NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM

brb-nv · 2026-09-02T19:44:21Z

Description

Decode kernels for MinimaxM3 were added here: #17842. This MR wired them in. On main, prefill as well decode requests in a batch were routed to MSA kernels. With this change, prefill requests shall be sent to MSA while decode requests shall be routed to above kernels.

Walkthrough

The change splits MiniMax-M3 FMHA into context and generation backends, adds Triton sparse decode and dense decode workspace support, reorganizes cache utilities, and updates phase-aware metadata, indexing, registry wiring, and tests.

Changes

MiniMax-M3 FMHA execution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Phase-specific FMHA backends `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/fmha/*`	Adds `MsaPrefillFmha` and `MsaDecodeFmha`, phase token offsets, separate registry entries, and updated public exports. The former `MsaSparseGqaFmha` module is removed.
Kernel and cache support `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3_kernels/*`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/cache_manager.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/common.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_availability.py`	Adds shared KV writing, cache geometry access, Triton sparse decode, dense decode workspace reservation, and availability checks for required kernel paths.
Phase metadata and block selection `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_backend.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/msa_indexer.py`	Stages decode tables and lengths, tracks decode spans, builds context-only plans, routes generation scoring through CuTe DSL, and combines context and generation top-k results.
Validation and integration coverage `tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/*`, `tests/microbenchmarks/minimax_m3_index_decode_score.py`	Updates imports and page-table setup. Adds coverage for phase routing, CUDA-graph buffers, scratch sizing, subpage staging, decode spans, and mixed-batch numerical parity.

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

This change adds phase-aware MiniMax-M3 decode execution. Some edge configurations may produce incorrect decode results or fail unexpectedly because key kernel and cache invariants remain unvalidated; resolve these bounded concerns before relying on the new path broadly.

186-293: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test coverage summary.

Added test functions:

Buffer staging: test_msa_buffers_include_graph_stable_block_table, test_msa_buffers_stage_the_subpage_table_only_for_a_uniform_pool, test_msa_subpage_rows_slice_the_generation_span, test_lazily_allocated_scratch_publishes_the_bound_it_used.

Metadata invariants: test_no_metadata_field_relies_on_a_default_factory, test_beam_search_is_rejected.

Decode span: test_the_decode_span_of_a_pure_decode_step_is_the_whole_batch, test_the_decode_span_of_a_mixed_step_is_its_generation_suffix, test_a_pure_prefill_step_has_no_decode_span, test_multi_token_generation_rows_are_rejected, test_an_empty_generation_row_is_rejected.

Up-front validation: test_the_run_is_refused_when_the_scorer_cannot_take_the_cache_geometry, test_the_run_is_refused_without_the_dense_subpage_pool.

Plans and capture: test_plan_rows_narrow_to_the_rows_fmha_sm100_still_runs, test_a_captured_step_must_be_pure_decode.

Indexer: test_indexer_raises_when_a_committed_cutedsl_scorer_declines, test_combined_topk_table_preserves_the_requested_backing, test_the_top_k_table_is_always_head_major.

FMHA phase pair: test_the_two_libraries_partition_the_phases_statically, test_a_single_phase_input_type_is_rejected, test_msa_prefill_refuses_the_generation_phase, test_decode_fmha_checks_the_span_against_the_phase_it_was_handed, test_decode_fmha_runs_the_phase_its_span_describes.

Numerical parity: test_mixed_batch_generation_span_matches_the_whole_batch_msa_path.

Modified test functions: test_msa_proxy_max_score_view_is_contiguous_over_stable_store (adds the zero-extent rejection), test_run_indexer_hands_the_indexer_this_steps_generation_span (asserts the span handoff instead of the removed head-major routing), test_msa_indexer_enforces_real_fp8_and_bf16_handoff_states (fake metadata now models a context-prefill step). Import paths moved to minimax_m3_kernels.

Removed test functions: none observed in the provided ranges.

Test-list membership: this cohort changes no files under tests/integration/test_lists/. These are unit tests under tests/unittest/, so I cannot confirm test-db/ or qa/ entries from the supplied context.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The phase split, span derivation, rejection paths, and mixed-batch parity are covered well. Two pieces of new logic in this cohort have no test in the provided ranges:

MsaDecodeFmha._reserve_dense_workspace mid-capture growth refusal (tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/fmha/msa_decode.py lines 117-127).

MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2.get_kv_subpage_pool flat-extent arithmetic (num_slots - 1) * scale + 2 (tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention_backend/sparse/minimax_m3/cache_manager.py lines 409-412).

Both state an invariant in their docstring that a small unit test could pin. Add them here or in tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/test_minimax_m3_dense_decode.py.

As per path instructions, this file requires a test coverage summary that lists changed test functions, test-list membership, and a coverage verdict.

329-329: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate that num_kv_heads divides num_heads.

gqa_group_size uses floor division. The decode kernel writes only heads pid_kh * gqa_group_size + [0, gqa_group_size), so it covers num_kv_heads * gqa_group_size heads. The merge kernel grid is (total_q, num_heads) and reads a partial for every head. o_partial and lse_partial come from the persistent arena and are not zeroed, so any head the decode kernel does not cover is merged from stale arena contents. The launcher already rejects a wrong page size and a wrong total_q; add the same check here so a mis-shaped head count fails loudly instead of producing garbage output.
🛡️ Proposed validation
-    gqa_group_size = num_heads // num_kv_heads

PR_Github #71398 [ run ] triggered by Bot. Commit: b23255a Link to invocation

Address review: an FMHA library is expected to reuse the workspace it is handed and resize it when it is too small, as CuteDslMlaFmha does. The trtllm-gen slab and the multi-CTA KV counters behind it now come out of that buffer instead of private arena allocations, so the mid-capture growth refusal is the same one every other library states. Signed-off-by: Balaram Buddharaju <169953907+brb-nv@users.noreply.github.com>

Address review: the reason FlashInferTrtllmGenFmha cannot serve these layers was only in the kernel module's docstring, one import away from the dispatch that skips it. Signed-off-by: Balaram Buddharaju <169953907+brb-nv@users.noreply.github.com>

Address review: the kernels belong in minimax_m3/kernels/ like every other sparse algorithm keeps its own. They were a sibling package because the package's eager re-exports load msa_backend, which subclasses attention.backends.trtllm and would close a cycle with the FMHA registry; those re-exports are now lazy, so reaching the kernels no longer loads the backends. Also repoints a test that still imported msa_utils from its pre-move location. Signed-off-by: Balaram Buddharaju <169953907+brb-nv@users.noreply.github.com>

Address review: gqa_group_size floor-divides, so a num_heads that is not a multiple of num_kv_heads leaves the tail heads unwritten and the merge pass reads them from an uninitialized arena partial. The launcher already checks the page size and total_q; this fails the same way. Signed-off-by: Balaram Buddharaju <169953907+brb-nv@users.noreply.github.com>

Address review: recover the package's eager re-exports and drop the PEP 562 indirection that stood in for them. What kept the eager re-exports importable was never the registry: it was that msa_sparse_gqa reached msa_utils from inside is_available, because the minimax_m3 package init loads msa_backend, which subclasses TrtllmAttention. Both libraries do that now, at each site that needs a kernel, so nothing on the FMHA import path loads a backend. The registry takes them inside init_fmha_libs beside the other backends imported there. run_msa_sparse_gqa defaulted head_dim to a constant from that package, which a default argument evaluates at module scope, so the default is now settled in the body.

Resolve the conflicts with NVIDIA#18611, which moved the MSA generation phase off fmha_sm100 onto MiniMax-M3's dedicated decode kernels (CuTe DSL indexer scorer, Triton sparse decode, trtllm-gen dense decode). Main's structure is kept and the Eagle3 pieces are re-targeted at it: - cache_manager.py: both sides had extracted _kv_slot_geometry; only the docstring wording differed. - msa_backend.py: the decode span accepts the uniform 1 + draft_len query length and the CuTe DSL scorer is validated up front for it. on_update_kv_lens now patches msa_seq_lens_cuda, which all three decode kernels read, plus the write slots and the per-token valid-block counts; the fmha_sm100 plan patching is dropped since the plans cover context rows only. The write slots are re-derived from the staged msa_block_table, so the per-token msa_req_to_token buffer and its per-step H2D copy go away. The num_extra_kv_tokens correction moves into _stage_host_lengths so every staged length, msa_seq_lens_cuda included, is the attended one. The pure-decode valid-block staging is per query token, and the proxy scratch keeps its token-based sizing. - test_msa_backend.py: keep both sides; rewrite the on_update_kv_lens tests against the new buffers and add coverage for the verify-window span, the extra-token exclusion and the per-token staging. Fix the msa_utils import paths moved under kernels/ here and in test_llm_api_pytorch.py. Signed-off-by: Zheyu Fu <zheyuf@nvidia.com>

…ernel Port of NVIDIA#16755 from feat/m3_with_msa to main. Each MSA layer wrote its new-token main K, main V and (sparse layers) index-K through three separate aten advanced-indexing writes, each with its own division / remainder / cast preprocessing: ~12 tiny launches per sparse layer, ~720 per decode step at 60 layers, all captured into the decode CUDA graphs. Replace them with one Triton launch per layer that derives (page, within-page) from out_cache_loc in-register and writes K, V and index-K together before the indexer's proxy pass. Layouts the kernel cannot take fall back to the legacy per-cache writes. Rebased onto the MsaPrefillFmha / MsaDecodeFmha split (NVIDIA#18611): the kernel lives in minimax_m3/kernels alongside the other cache writes, and the per-phase write_msa_phase_kv is what now skips a layer the fused scatter already wrote. run_indexer keeps main's strict indexer_kv_dtype validation and gates the bf16 index-K write on idx_k_prewritten.
