@coderabbitai summary

Description

The KV cache iteration-statistics suite relied on the model's default manager choice, and its cold-field checks could pass without observing a cold pool. Both LLM entry points now explicitly set use_kv_cache_manager_v2=True and pin a 64 MiB host budget. The fixed budget makes cold-pool capacity reproducible; V2 can also auto-size a host tier when this budget is omitted. Field completeness requires populated V2 hot/cold views and records an actual cold-group snapshot. All eight inference scenarios, prompts, token counts, existing assertions and timeouts remain unchanged.

The module-scoped fixture and standalone LLM apply that fixed host budget to all eight scenarios, including partial/full reuse and shared prefix. A host tier permits offload/onboarding under eviction, so these are not GPU-only tests. The shared fixture is intentional: it preserves the accumulated cross-scenario statistics and avoids a second model initialization. Omitting the budget would restore V2 auto-sizing, not disable its host tier. The completed validation observed a populated cold pool with 93 free / 93 total / 0 used blocks; it demonstrates cold-field coverage, not exercised host transfers. The original B200 timeout remains unexplained, and the subsequent unchanged pass does not establish its cause.

In V2, secondaryFreeNumBlocks, secondaryMaxNumBlocks, and secondaryUsedNumBlocks belong to kvCacheIterationStatsByColdPoolGroup. The existing V2 serializer test now checks their exact values; the metrics fixture puts its secondary gauges in that cold view with unchanged expected values. The three-file patch adds no runtime implementation.

Prerequisite for #17495. Its original H100/B200 failure at 24cd0cc8016af expected cold gauges inside window stats. #19004 already corrected that expectation and is included in this PR's updated-main baseline a26a55aae1dd; this follow-up closes the explicit-V2 and nonempty-cold coverage gaps. #18583 was rechecked at 1ad1e7bd6ba6: its per-level accounting does not change this contract or conflict with this integration module.

All eight cases remain enabled in the H100/B200 test lists; no matching waiver exists. They have no V1/V2 parameterization. Direct regressions explicitly construct V2 managers/reports or consume their V2 schema. Two unrelated V1/V2 compatibility comparisons are excluded from final V2 acceptance.

Test Coverage

Review follow-up 8614aa729eae917f734a99170943a84b15e67740 changes only fixture documentation and the cold-capacity assertion's diagnostic message. The targeted TestKvCacheIterationStats::test_field_completeness regression passed on B200 through tekit-run (1 passed, 0 failures/errors/skips; cold max/free/used = 93/93/0), and pre-commit/DCO hooks passed. Full stdout/stderr and JUnit are retained under /home/scratch.yizhan_sw_1/logs/2026-09-15/umbriel-b200-043/kvstats_review_field_completeness*. The full-suite and CI results below apply to the preceding a2a4d690ed16 commit; CI was not rerun for this diagnostic-only follow-up. A merge check against origin/main at 11e4c276e445 found no conflicts.

Actual execution at a2a4d690ed16c1f09ace8d45a341ad1f6bca5cf7, through isolated tekit-run containers using this checkout and its own compiled artifacts:

Validation H100 B200
Applicable V2 units, including every selected parameterization 38 passed 38 passed
Entire iteration-statistics integration class 8 passed 8 passed
Separate standalone entry point 8/8 scenarios passed

All four final local JUnit reports have zero failures, errors and skips. Complete stdout/stderr and command/commit/exit metadata are retained. Final configurations explicitly log V2 and host_cache_size=67108864; actual cold-pool secondary max/free/used values are 93/93/0. This verifies schema/capacity coverage, not forced host-offload traffic. Initial B200 CUDA-context failures were reproduced with Torch before TRT-LLM import on GPUs requesting reset; final acceptance used verified healthy idle GPUs with the same image/source/artifacts, without resetting shared GPUs.

CI at the previously validated commit: MR #60443 / single-GPU #7472 built x86 successfully and recorded H100 8/8 target passes and B200 7/8. Both original field-completeness cases passed with the V2 cold view. Five H100 cases first executed during automatic recovery after an unrelated predecessor terminated. B200 test_partial_block_reuse initially reached its existing 3600-second timeout while the parent awaited the first generation response. That failure and its complete available logs remain archived; its worker-side cause is unproven.

The same unchanged B200 partial test subsequently passed in MR #60467 / single-GPU #7476, at 14:34:29 UTC on September 15. Its full test-step log records all three original generation outputs, passing assertions and continuation to the next case. Thus every applicable H100/B200 target has an actual passing execution, in addition to the full local suites above. This diagnostic reuses the build and passed cases: five LLM predecessors and Flux were skipped as reused, Cosmos actually reran, and the MPI session refreshed. Reused skips are not new passes, and this run does not reproduce the original entire predecessor sequence or establish the old timeout's cause. The remaining CI cases may continue independently.

Separate unchanged local diagnoses also passed: partial as the first case in a fresh process, and Qwen3.5 MTP → partial in the same worker PID56276/reuse #2. These are supporting diagnostic observations, not extra V2 acceptance coverage. No assertion, timeout, workload or retry policy was relaxed.

CPU CI also records actual JUnit passes for all 12 serializer tests and all 90 collector tests, including their V2-specific checks. These synthetic unit results are separate from GPU manager-runtime evidence.

Evidence and full-log indexes: /home/scratch.yizhan_sw_1/logs/2026-09-15/local/kvstats-validation.md, kvstats-final-validation-index.json, and kvstats-ci7472-artifacts/CI-EVIDENCE.md. Pre-commit, DCO, API label, title and checklist checks pass. Original failure logs, preliminary local diagnostic failures and obsolete-head CI are preserved separately; the original timeout and subsequent unchanged CI pass are both part of the reported result.

Historical audit (2026-08-16 through 2026-09-15, 20,883 H100/B200 records): field-completeness failures were B200 63/2369 and H100 2/55, with mixed/unknown manager versions. Only seven failures have a verified V1 source route, all sampling initialization errors at one exact PR commit; two have verified V2 source routes with the missing-secondary assertion; 56 remain unknown. This does not establish a general V1 flaky rate or justify weakening the assertions. Detailed sources and classification limits are retained in kvstats-history-report.md.

Walkthrough

The tests configure V2 KV-cache statistics with a 64 MiB host cache, require cold-pool capacity data, and verify cold-pool fields in serializer and collector tests.

Changes

KV-cache statistics validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
V2 integration configuration and validation
tests/integration/defs/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_iteration_stats.py
The shared and standalone LLM setups use V2 cache management, block reuse, iteration statistics, and a 64 MiB host cache. Validation requires hot-pool and cold-pool results and positive secondary capacity.
Cold-pool serializer and collector coverage
tests/unittest/executor/test_stats_serializer.py, tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py
The collector fixture separates cold-pool secondary capacity and usage from regular pool-group metrics. Serializer assertions verify secondary maximum, free, and used block counts.

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.

The vacuity fix is the substantive part and it's correct: the old cold-group loop iterated a dict that could be empty, so it asserted nothing. Moving the secondary gauges to the cold view in the collector fixture also matches what collector.py actually implements, and the V1 window fallback stays covered by test_gauges_updated, so nothing is lost there.

Two things:

  • Title is tagged [fix], but the description states the patch adds no runtime implementation. [test] matches the repo convention for this kind of change (e.g. a26a55a).
  • The description covers the V2/host-budget pinning but not that the host tier is now active for all eight scenarios, not just field completeness. Worth a sentence, given one of those scenarios hit an unexplained B200 timeout on the first run.
