[None][test] Skip MoE A2A CFT regression under CUDA forward compatibility

Branch: ruocheng-nv:fix/moe-a2a-cft-forward-compat-skip → NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM:main

Create PR: https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/compare/main...ruocheng-nv:TensorRT-LLM:fix/moe-a2a-cft-forward-compat-skip?expand=1


Description

test_moe_a2a_workspace.py::test_mixed_dispatch_layout_preserves_previous_combine (added in #19312)
fails on GB200-4_GPUs-PyTorch-5 for every PR that reaches that stage, plus main/release-1.3 post-merge:
the use_cft=True cases kill the whole pytest process with exit code 1.

Root cause, reproduced with the CI image (…-19345) and the CI-built wheel on DGX B200:
cuLogicalEndpointCreate returns CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE in CftLeManager::createEndpointExternal,
every worker raises, and the test calls MPI_COMM_WORLD.Abort(1). The image runs in CUDA forward
compatibility mode (user-mode driver 615.65.02 on kernel driver 595.58.03): the newer libcuda exports
the cuLogicalEndpoint* symbols that _cft_skip_reason() checks, but endpoint creation needs
kernel-driver support. Workspace size is irrelevant (0.04–4.55 GiB all fail).

Fix (test only): skip the CFT cases when the loaded libcuda version is newer than the kernel driver
version reported by NVML, i.e. under forward compatibility. On a matching driver the cases still run,
so real CFT failures still surface. The gate is conservative: a forward-compat setup whose kernel
driver already supports CFT would also skip.

Test Coverage

CI image + CI wheel (build 62173), 4x B200:

  • before: case 2 ([False-False-False-True]) aborts the process
  • after: 8 passed, 8 skipped — all CFT cases skip with
    "CUDA forward compatibility runs user-mode driver 615.65.02 on kernel driver 595.58.03"

Note: the GB200 CI nodes' kernel driver version could not be read from CI logs; if they already run a
13.4+ kernel driver, the CFT cases will still execute there and any remaining failure is a real CFT issue.

PR Checklist

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

The CFT skip check now compares the loaded libcuda version with the NVML kernel-driver version and skips only when the user-mode version is newer. The code does not handle failures while reading /proc/self/maps or initializing NVML; those failures can prevent the test from reaching its normal skip decision.

QA Engineer Review

The modified test keeps its existing parameterization and adds a CFT-specific skip path for CUDA forward-compatibility environments. The test is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml. The PR description reports 8 passed and 8 skipped on a 4x B200 setup; independent test results were not provided. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up to verify the new version-detection path and its error handling in CI.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tests/unittest/_torch/moe/multi_gpu/test_moe_a2a_workspace.py: The parameterized multi-GPU test covers mixed dispatch layouts and CFT/non-CFT execution. Its CI test-list entry is in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_gb200_multi_gpus.yml; the new skip behavior should be verified where NVML and /proc/self/maps are available.

…lity

Creating a CFT logical endpoint needs kernel-driver support. Under CUDA
forward compatibility the newer user-mode driver still exports the
cuLogicalEndpoint entry points, so the existing gate lets the test run,
and cuLogicalEndpointCreate then fails with CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE.
The worker aborts MPI_COMM_WORLD and takes down the whole test process.

Skip the CFT cases when the loaded libcuda is newer than the kernel
driver reported by NVML; real CFT failures on a matching driver still
surface.

Walkthrough

The CFT test skip logic now checks whether the loaded libcuda version is greater than the kernel driver version. It returns a forward-compatibility skip reason only when the loaded version is present and newer.

Changes

CFT compatibility checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Forward-compatibility skip check
tests/unittest/_torch/moe/multi_gpu/test_moe_a2a_workspace.py
The test imports re and pynvml. After existing CFT checks, it compares the loaded libcuda version with the NVML kernel driver version and returns a skip reason when the loaded version is newer.

The version comparison appears correct, but focused regression tests are missing. A future regression could again abort CFT test workers on forward-compatibility nodes; this is mergeable with tests as a follow-up.

Forward compatibility pairs a newer user-mode libcuda with an older
kernel driver; compare versions numerically instead of skipping on any
mismatch.

Add focused coverage for _forward_compat_reason() version comparisons.

The existing parameterized test does not control the loaded libcuda or NVML driver versions. It does not assert equal versions, a newer user-mode version, a newer kernel version, or numeric component ordering. Add focused cases for these comparisons.

Test coverage summary: tests/unittest/_torch/moe/multi_gpu/test_moe_a2a_workspace.py adds _forward_compat_reason() but no focused test cases. test_mixed_dispatch_layout_preserves_previous_combine exercises host-dependent skip behavior only. No test-list change applies. Coverage verdict: insufficient.

Multi-GPU tests require the ci: full pre-merge approved label on this PR. Either:

  • Wait for the PR to be fully approved — the label is added automatically once approval is complete. Having unresolved open comments is fine, or
  • If needed, ask a member of NVIDIA/trt-llm-ci-approvers to add the label manually.
    Then re-trigger CI with the same bot command (no rebase needed).

⚠️ Action Required:

  • Please check the failed tests and fix your PR
  • If you cannot view the failures, ask the CI triggerer to share details
  • Once fixed, request an NVIDIA team member to trigger CI again

@ruocheng-nv thanks for raising the issue. There's another big refactor PR that should fix the issue as well, but it will require longer time to review before it can be merged. Meanwhile, to unblock you, can you try to cherry pick this commit onto your branch? This one ports the driver version check from the refactor PR so that it becomes easier when we try to merge that PR to main.
