[https://nvbugs/6858845][fix] Let no-KV-cache runners use FlashInfer attention - #20901
trtllm-agent wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…attention NoKVCacheRunner.prepare_inputs asserted that the attention metadata was Vanilla or TRTLLM before calling prepare() without a KV cache manager. FlashInferAttentionMetadata.prepare() has its own kv_cache_manager=None branch for context-only batches, and the no-KV- cache runner only schedules context requests. Because setup_attn_metadata always builds the metadata with kv_cache_manager=None, prepare_inputs raised on every call when attn_backend was FLASHINFER. Remove the runner-side type assertion, so each backend's prepare() handles the no-KV-cache case itself. Tests: - test_mm_encoder_standalone.py: new test_encoder_flashinfer_attention_matches_trtllm (Qwen2.5-VL-3B encoder-only, FLASHINFER vs TRTLLM embeddings, cosine > 0.99). - test_no_kv_cache.py: drop the monkeypatch that made the stub metadata pass the removed assertion.

Explanation
The title follows the repository template with an NVBugs ID and the [fix] type. It names the main change: the no-KV-cache runners can now use FlashInfer attention. The raw summary confirms the runner-side assertion removal that enables this, so the title matches the changeset.

Explanation
The description covers the problem, the root cause, the fix, and the test coverage. It names the new encoder test, the removed monkeypatch, and the H200 results. The template's Description and Test Coverage sections are present and filled in. The PR Checklist section is not addressed (no checkboxes ticked and no API-change label note), and the description omits the '
@coderabbitaisummary' line the template includes at the top. These are non-critical omissions, so the description is mostly complete.

Skip when the checkpoint or FlashInfer is unavailable.
The H100 selector provides the GPU CI target, but it does not check the Qwen2.5-VL checkpoint or the optional FlashInfer dependency. _QWEN_2_5_VL_3B_DIR is only a path, and _encode_images() passes it directly to MultimodalEncoder. A missing checkpoint or dependency can fail setup instead of skipping.

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.
FlashInfer's prepare() already has its own no-KV-cache branch: it asserts num_generations == 0 and plans the ragged prefill wrapper. Removing the runner-side type check therefore leaves validation to each backend, which matches how Vanilla and TRTLLM already work. The test_no_kv_cache.py change is useful: without the monkeypatch, the existing prepare_inputs tests now run with a metadata type that is neither Vanilla nor TRTLLM.
Gap: as far as I can tell, test_encoder_flashinfer_attention_matches_trtllm won't run in CI. The only test_mm_encoder_standalone.py entries in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ are -k-filtered selections in l0_b200.yml (lines 251 and 254), and neither one matches this test. Please add an entry (for example -k "test_encoder_flashinfer_attention_matches_trtllm" on a stage that already runs this file) so a regression would be caught. The inline comment has the details.
Untested by this PR: the pooling runner with FLASHINFER (it uses the same code path), and TP>1.

Two things would let this test catch a regression:
- CI registration: no test-db list selects this test (the
l0_b200.ymlentries for this file are-k "qwen3_30b_a3b_fp8"and-k "test_kv_event_mm_keys and uuid"). Please add an entry so it runs pre-merge. - Silent fallback: if FlashInfer isn't importable,
get_attention_backend(attention/backends/utils.py:56) logs a warning and returnsTrtllmAttention. In that case this test compares TRTLLM against itself and passes. Addpytest.importorskip("flashinfer"), or assert that the encoder's attention metadata isFlashInferAttentionMetadata, so it can't pass without testing anything.

Description
Fixes https://nvbugs/6858845.
NoKVCacheRunner.prepare_inputsasserted that the attention metadata wasVanillaAttentionMetadataorTrtllmAttentionMetadatabefore callingprepare()without a KV cache manager. Becausesetup_attn_metadataalways builds that metadata withkv_cache_manager=None, the assertion ran on every call. So withattn_backend: FLASHINFER, the multimodal encoder-only runner raised on every forward. The pooling runner uses the sameprepare_inputs.FlashInferAttentionMetadata.prepare()already has its ownkv_cache_manager is Nonebranch for context-only batches. It assertsnum_generations == 0and plans the ragged prefill wrapper, and the no-KV-cache runner only schedules context requests.This change removes the runner-side type assertion, so each backend's
prepare()handles the no-KV-cache case itself. The Vanilla and TRTLLM paths are unchanged.Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/multimodal/test_mm_encoder_standalone.py::test_encoder_flashinfer_attention_matches_trtllm(new): runs the Qwen2.5-VL-3B multimodal encoder withTRTLLMand withFLASHINFERattention on the three test images. It checks that the embedding shapes match and that the cosine similarity is above 0.99. On H200 it fails before this change (RequestErrorfrom the removed assertion) and passes after.tests/unittest/_torch/executor/engine/test_no_kv_cache.py: removes the monkeypatch that let the stub metadata pass the removed assertion.

NoKVCacheRunner.prepare_inputsnow callsprepare()wheneverkv_cache_managerisNone, without restricting the metadata type. This allows attention backends to handle no-KV-cache metadata. Verify encoder-only and pooling requests with FlashInfer, and confirm Vanilla and TRTLLM behavior remains unchanged.QA Engineer Review
The change adds
test_encoder_flashinfer_attention_matches_trtllmand modifies the no-KV-cache runner tests. The new test compares Qwen2.5-VL encoder embeddings across three images, checks matching shapes, and requires cosine similarity above 0.99. The CI selectors found for this test file do not include the new test; no manual-QA listing was found. The reported 239-test result was not independently verified. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.Per-File QA Perspective
