Summary

KVCacheManagerV2 shipped two implementations of the same subsystem behind
TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND. The C++ port is the default, is what CI exercises, and
is the only backend newer features support, so the Python implementation was carrying
duplicate block-key hashing, eviction and stats logic that had to stay bit-identical to
C++, plus a mypyc + rawref build pipeline that existed only to make it fast enough to
matter.

tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/ is now a re-export shim over the nanobind
module plus the backend-agnostic _introspection dispatcher: 36 tracked files down to 4,
net −13k lines.

Commits

  1. Remove the Python backend — the deletion, consumer migration and build cleanup.
  2. Lock SSM life cycles into KVCM2 page-movement statistics — new C++ coverage for
    behaviour that only the deleted Python tests guarded.

New bindings

Only one consumer needed native support. The KV-aware router's V2 hashing is expressed with
the existing sequence_to_blockchain_keys (every caller chains from a reuse-scope root, and
its first yielded pair is that root), so v2_sha256_block_hasher is gone and no hashing
binding was added
. Equivalence was verified against a reference implementation of the old
per-chunk chaining across 3 block sizes x 2 algorithms x salted/unsalted -- byte-identical --
and against golden digests captured from the Python hasher before deleting it.

The native disaggregated bounce buffer did need something: PooledPhysMemAllocator and
VirtMem wrap the existing cudaVirtMem.{h,cpp}. They register on the _introspection
submodule
, not the package surface, because they carry no stability promise -- the package
namespace is the stable surface. Three members total (device_id, address, destroy); the
package's exported API shrinks from 74 to 72 symbols.

BREAKING

  • TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND=python no longer exists.
  • build_wheel.py --mypyc and TRTLLM_ENABLE_MYPYC are gone, along with setup_mypyc.py,
    the rawref C extension and the setup.py packaging surgery they required.
  • Streaming KV events (kv_cache_config.kv_events_config) are dropped. The sink is
    duck-typed Python and the C++ radix tree calls its sink natively, so there is no live
    path. validate_streaming_support now rejects the config and points at the buffered path
    via event_buffer_max_size. The interface is kept as a stub and its tests are skipped
    rather than deleted, so a native sink can restore it later.

Test coverage

Deleting the Python implementation orphaned test_kv_cache_stats_life_cycles.py, which
drove the Python page-movement recorders through a duck-typed stand-in. That behaviour —
SSM/recurrent life cycles appearing in iteration stats, with global cache-hit counters
staying attention-only — was fixed in both backends by #17447, but only ever tested in
Python, and no C++ test builds an SSM life cycle at all.

The second commit closes that with a hybrid attention + SSM fixture (the first in the C++
suite) and three cases: offload/onboard per life cycle, the attention-only alloc-counter
guard, and host drops. Each was confirmed to fail when the life-cycle filters are restored
in KvCache::_recordMigratedSlots / _recordDroppedPages
— a regression lock that cannot
detect the regression is worthless.

Host-drop coverage is new for attention too; nothing asserted it against a live manager
before.

Verification

  • kvCacheManagerV2StatsTest: 13/13 (10 pre-existing + 3 new)
  • tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/: 255 passed, 20 skipped
  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/: 788 passed
  • executor/test_stats_serializer.py, disaggregated/test_router.py: green
  • Repo-wide grep for any deleted submodule: clean

All run on a B200. Note the local dev box is an H100 while cpp/build was configured
CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=100-real, which aborts on kernel launch — an artefact of the build
config, not a code defect, and it reproduces identically on unmodified main.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Removes the Python KVCacheManagerV2 backend, backend selection, rawref, mypyc build support, and Python implementation modules.
  • Loads the C++ implementation directly and exposes native PooledPhysMemAllocator and VirtMem.
  • Rejects streaming KV events and directs users to buffered events through event_buffer_max_size.
  • Removes private APIs and changes router hashing to use sequence_to_blockchain_keys. Verify downstream hash compatibility.
  • Adds hybrid attention and SSM life-cycle statistics coverage.
  • Review finding counts are unavailable from the supplied evidence.

QA Engineer Review

  • Updates KV cache manager, event, hashing, statistics, CUDA, attention, executor, and modeling tests.
  • Removes backend-specific skips, Python-only allocator tests, obsolete statistics fixtures, and streaming implementation coverage.
  • Adds coverage for hybrid attention and SSM page movement, allocation accounting, scoped blockchain keys, virtual-memory lifetime, and native error handling.
  • Streaming tests verify rejection and buffered-event guidance.
  • Reported verification includes 13/13 C++ statistics tests, 255 passed and 20 skipped KV cache manager tests, and 788 executor tests. A later merge pipeline failed, so overall CI status needs follow-up.
  • No test-list files changed. KV cache manager tests are registered in l0_h100.yml, l0_b200.yml, l0_cpu.yml, and l0_a10.yml. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • .gitignore: Removes Python and mypyc artifact exclusions. Verify obsolete artifacts cannot enter source or packaging workflows.
  • C++ guide and exception files: Update native test guidance and Python exception documentation. Verify configuration errors map to Python AssertionError.
  • Nanobind binding: Adds PooledPhysMemAllocator and VirtMem. Verify construction, lifetime retention, address access, device ID access, and destruction.
  • C++ statistics test and test utility: Add hybrid attention and SSM tiered-cache coverage. Verify execution in the C++ test target.
  • Documentation and example files: Document unsupported streaming events and remove the Python-backend restriction from NVFP4 cold-page setup. Verify documentation matches runtime behavior.
  • Build and packaging files: Remove mypyc, rawref, and Python KV cache manager packaging paths. Verify wheel contents and obsolete build options.
  • Attention, disaggregation, and executor source files: Move imports to public or _introspection exports and remove backend-specific validation. Verify imports, disaggregation allocation, and NVFP4 validation.
  • Streaming event source files: Replace streaming behavior with unsupported-operation stubs. Verify rejection, error precedence, and buffered-event behavior.
  • Runtime package files: Make C++ bindings unconditional and remove Python implementation modules, private APIs, rawref, and type stubs. Verify public API compatibility and native binding availability.
  • Router files: Replace the standalone V2 hasher with chained keys. Verify V2 and V2-SHA256-64 compatibility and tail-rewrite behavior.
  • Performance YAML: Removes the backend environment override. Verify workers use the native default.
  • Test support files: Add shared CUDA utilities and update imports and temporary path handling. Verify CUDA error mapping, stream cleanup, and event lifetime.
  • KV cache manager tests: Remove backend gating and Python-only coverage. Verify native APIs, resizing, codecs, transfers, statistics, hashing, and regression paths.
  • Streaming tests: Skip unsupported streaming construction and verify rejection guidance. Verify buffered-event regressions remain covered.
  • Integration test: Uses direct CUDA initialization. Verify setup remains reliable in integration environments.
  • Test-list registration: No list files changed. Existing KV cache manager coverage is registered in the identified test-db suites.

KV Cache Manager V2 native transition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native bindings and statistics
cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/..., cpp/tests/unit_tests/..., tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/_introspection.py
The package exposes native virtual-memory bindings and delegates introspection to native implementations. Hybrid attention and SSM statistics tests were added.
Runtime surface and build cleanup
tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/..., scripts/build_wheel.py, setup.py, pyproject.toml
The C++ implementation loads unconditionally. The former Python modules, rawref extension, mypyc build files, and related packaging paths were removed.
Streaming event shutdown
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache_events.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, docs/source/features/kvcache.md, tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_streaming_kv_events.py
Streaming KV events now fail validation and their manager construction raises NotImplementedError. Buffered events remain documented as the supported path.
Integration and test migration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/..., tensorrt_llm/serve/..., tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/..., tests/unittest/_torch/...
Consumers and tests use package-level runtime exports, blockchain-key generation, shared CUDA helpers, and direct CUDA initialization. Backend-specific checks and mocked checks were removed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fc656

Some CUDA test environments can fail setup unnecessarily, and a few test helpers remain susceptible to intermittent failures or cross-test contamination. These are bounded test-reliability risks that should be addressed before relying on the affected test coverage.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py`:
- Around line 1284-1285: Update the initialization flow around
validate_streaming_support() to reject enabled streaming before emitting the
obsolete event_buffer_max_size precedence warning. Remove the unreachable
StreamingKVCacheEventManager construction and related streaming branch, while
preserving validation for unsupported parallelism and ensuring no socket is
bound before rejection.

In `@tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/cuda_test_utils.py`:
- Around line 458-460: Update TemporaryCudaStream.__exit__ to record a finish
event even when the context exits with an exception, ensuring the stream is
synchronized or tracked before ItemHolderBase.close() returns it through
SimplePool.put(). Preserve the existing successful-exit behavior and limit the
change to the exceptional context path.

In `@tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_event_manager.py`:
- Around line 340-350: Increase the timeout passed to reader.join in the
blocking-read test for KVCacheEventManager, while retaining the existing
reader.is_alive and result assertions. Keep the test’s bounded wait and event
wake-up coverage unchanged.

In `@tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py`:
- Around line 127-128: Scope the temporary _TEST_DIR sys.path insertion to the
shared-helper imports and restore the original path immediately afterward. Apply
this in tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_manager_v2.py
lines 127-128, fake_engine.py lines 57-58, kernels.py lines 38-39,
test_branch_reuse.py lines 48-49, and test_first_new_block_probe.py lines 55-56,
ensuring no module leaves global import state modified.
- Line 4956: Add a multi-block parent-key assertion in
TestBlockKeyHashing._chain by using tokens_per_block=32 with at least 33 tokens,
then verify that the second block key is derived from the first block key
combined with the remaining tokens rather than directly from the root.

- Around line 2218-2227: Add a CUDA-gated regression test for the _introspection
VirtMem binding that constructs it with init_num_phys_mem=1, deletes the Python
PooledPhysMemAllocator reference, runs gc.collect(), verifies address, and calls
destroy(). Use the existing CUDA virtual-memory test conventions while
specifically exercising nb::keep_alive<1, 3> and allocator retention.

Gate this test on the VMM allocation mode used by PooledPhysMemAllocator.

torch.cuda.is_available() only confirms CUDA initialization. PooledPhysMemAllocator calls cuMemCreate for its selected properties and throws when none are supported. A CUDA-visible device can therefore fail this test during setup instead of being skipped.

Add a selected-device capability check that mirrors this allocation probe, including the required handle types and flags. Reuse an existing native or shared CUDA helper if one exists.

Test coverage summary: The file adds two lifetime tests for allocator retention and cleanup. The tests cover the VirtMemPooledPhysMemAllocator lifetime contract. This unit-test file does not require integration test-list coverage. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

CI Agent Failure Analysis

Link to invocation

KVCacheManagerV2 shipped two implementations of the same subsystem behind
TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND. The C++ port is the default, is what CI
exercises, and is the only backend newer features support, so the Python
implementation was carrying duplicate block-key hashing, eviction and stats
logic that had to stay bit-identical to C++, plus a mypyc and rawref build
pipeline that existed only to make it fast enough to matter.

tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/ is now a re-export shim over the
nanobind module plus the _introspection dispatcher: 36 tracked files down to 4.

Consumers that reached into private submodules move to the package surface. The
KV-aware router's V2 hashing is expressed with the existing
sequence_to_blockchain_keys, since every caller chains from a reuse-scope root,
so v2_sha256_block_hasher is gone and no hashing binding was needed. Only the
native disaggregated bounce buffer needed something new: PooledPhysMemAllocator
and VirtMem wrap the existing cudaVirtMem, and are registered on the
_introspection submodule rather than the package surface because they carry no
stability promise.

Streaming KV events (kv_cache_config.kv_events_config) are dropped. The sink is
duck-typed Python and the C++ radix tree calls its sink natively, so there is no
live path; validate_streaming_support now rejects the config and points at the
buffered path via event_buffer_max_size. The interface is kept as a stub and its
tests are skipped rather than deleted.

The --mypyc flag, TRTLLM_ENABLE_MYPYC, setup_mypyc.py, the rawref C extension
and the setup.py packaging surgery they required are all removed.

…atistics

Iteration statistics are keyed by life cycle and report recurrent (SSM) page
movement alongside attention movement, while the global cache-hit counters stay
attention-only. That split had no test on the C++ side: the only coverage lived
in the Python backend's unit tests, which went away with the backend itself, and
no C++ test builds an SSM life cycle at all.

Add a hybrid attention + SSM fixture and three cases over it:

  - offload and onboard are reported for both life cycles, with byte counts
    matching each life cycle's slot size
  - an SSM onboard leaves allocTotalBlocks / allocNewBlocks to attention
  - host drops are reported for both life cycles

Each case was confirmed to fail when the life-cycle filters are restored in
KvCache::_recordMigratedSlots and _recordDroppedPages.
