From 5547e4173297e824cfee03db63112b0d339d7e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pengyu Chen Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 05:26:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(trtllm_mha): clamp page_table to k_cache page range to prevent SWA crash Prevents the deterministic CUDA Warp Illegal Address crash in 'fmhaSm100fKernel_*SlidingOrChunkedCausal*' that triggers under Gemma-4 + --attention-backend trtllm_mha + MTP + summarization workloads at ~85% SWA pool utilization (see crash_repro/TRIAGE_REPORT.md). Root cause: the full_to_swa_index_mapping accumulates entries that become invalid in certain MTP draft-token allocation patterns; after //page_size, the resulting swa_page_table can contain values >= num_swa_pages, which the trtllm SWA kernel TMA-prefetches and traps on. Fix: clamp page_table values to [0, k_cache.shape[0] - 1] right before the kernel call in both forward_decode and forward_extend. Applies to BOTH the regular page_table and swa_page_table paths. Verification on Gemma-4-E4B-IT + trtllm_mha + MTP + summarization (8 k/1 k x 80 prompts, max_concurrency=64): before this fix: CRASH at ~85% SWA fill, ~30 s into bench after this fix: COMPLETED, output 4032 tok/s peak, no trap events Verification on Gemma-4-26B-A4B-IT + trtllm_mha + MTP + summarization (8 k/1 k x 80 prompts, max_concurrency=64): before: CRASH (same kernel, same SWA fill trigger) after: COMPLETED, output 1832 tok/s peak (vs Patch 1+2 triton 1097 tok/s = +67%), TPOT 25 ms (vs triton 38 ms = -34%), TTFT 2.9 s (vs triton 8.8 s = -67%) MMLU @ 500 questions on 26B with this fix: 0.718 (vs Patch 2 baseline 0.706, vLLM 0.710) -- within noise, no regression. KNOWN LIMITATION: accept length drops vs triton backend (1.69 vs 2.76 on 26B summarization). Clamped page indices that fall in the attention window cause the kernel to read the LAST valid SWA page's K/V instead of the correct one, producing slightly wrong attention values for those positions. The clamp is a defensive safety net, not a complete fix; the underlying ownership of stale full_to_swa_index_mapping entries needs upstream investigation (filed in humanize/source-idea-ledger.md as Patch E). For workloads where the quality regression is acceptable (or workloads that don't hit the near-pool-full edge), this fix unlocks the trtllm_mha attention backend with MTP -- which is otherwise unusable. Cost: one clamp() per kernel call (~few microseconds, no measurable perf impact). See crash_repro/TRIAGE_REPORT.md.
