Runtime pieces that the Kimi K3 (SM107) modeling_v2 path needs from the engine, the KV cache managers and the attention op. Nothing here is model code.
Items 1 and 2 apply to every run: item 1 writes the same block-offset table with more CTAs per long row, and item 2 lowers the PyTorch allocator cap set after executor setup by about 1 GiB. Items 3 to 5 take effect only when a caller passes FP8 K / V, or when the target cache manager opts in to holding the drafter's layers (disaggregated serving also needs TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV); every other run keeps the existing path.
Parallelize long KV cache block-offset copies (kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu). Each pool/sequence row is split into bounded chunks, so several CTAs copy one long block-offset table. Row strides and source layout are unchanged.
Reserve 1 GiB outside the PyTorch caching-allocator cap (pyexecutor/_util.py). Driver and KV-transfer allocations made after executor setup otherwise run into OOM when the cap uses the whole free memory.
Accept caller-quantized FP8 Q / K / V in MLA context attention (thop/attentionOp.cpp, mlaKernels.cu, attention/backends/trtllm.py). With an FP8 KV cache the FP8 context MLA FMHA reads FP8 Q, K and V, and the op copies BF16 inputs to FP8 on every call. A caller may now pass E4M3 K / V, and optionally an FP8 Q through quant_q_buffer with quant_scale_qkv, to skip that copy; BF16 inputs keep the existing path. TrtllmAttention.has_fp8_context_mla tells callers when the op runs this FMHA.
A target cache manager that opts in (accepts_appended_draft_layers; the Kimi K3 hybrid manager) appends the drafter's layers to its own, so there is one pool instead of a separate draft arena. The layout is propagated through disaggregated transfer.
Token-parity lifecycle windows and per-rank recurrent state are preserved; supported page sizes are validated.
Drafters declare what they read through DFlashForCausalLM hooks (reads_managed_ctx_pages, reads_helix_sharded_ctx_pages, shift_label), so a helix-sharded context is shared only with a drafter that reads it. The default reads_managed_ctx_pages covers the TRTLLM block attention at trtllm-gen page sizes, as before; a drafter whose other backends read the manager's pages declares that itself. DSpark's _dspark_shift_label becomes the declared shift_label.
Opt-in for disaggregated serving via TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1. The serve-side compatibility check now compares attention TP (attention DP counts as 1) and allows context parallelism for DSpark with attention_backend CUTEDSL.
Documented in docs/source/features/speculative-decoding.md.
Check a one-sided disaggregated config for its own side of shared draft KV (serve.py). A DWDP context MPI world starts its context servers through disaggregated_mpi_worker from a config that lists no generation servers. The pre-check required speculative_config in both sections, so every context rank exited under TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1. It now requires speculative_config on every listed server; the peer handshake rejects a pair whose draft layouts disagree.

GB300: the files above, the Kimi K3 modeling_v2, attention, disaggregation and speculative-decoding test files these changes reach, and the whole _torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache and _torch/speculative/hw_agnostic directories (40 entries), plus the 12 speculative-decoding e2e files in hw_agnostic run with model weights (33 passed). The only failures are test_kv_cache_v2_vocab_size.py::test_branch_only_enables_multimodal_keys_when_needed (3 parametrizations); they fail the same way on main (model_engine.model.modules() on a SimpleNamespace stub in _create_kv_cache_manager). test_cache_transceiver_single_process.py passes in full (269).

The 2 failures, test_fp4_mla_helix_scatter_uses_global_rope_and_local_cache_position[active/inactive], compare the whole fixed-size packed-Q buffer (128 rows) with the 4 active rows. The test and the code it checks (fp4_mla/cache_update.py, fp4_mla/config.py) are the same as on main, which skips this test on its GPUs.

Dev Engineer Review
The block-offset copy kernel now splits each row into chunks across the grid’s z dimension. Verify chunk boundaries, row strides, and asynchronous copy behavior.
MLA context attention now accepts caller-quantized FP8 K/V and optional FP8 Q. Verify input validation, BMM scale generation, sparse MLA behavior, and device gating.
Hybrid cache managers can append standalone draft layers. The changes add lifecycle, cache-size, page-ownership, and disaggregated-transfer handling. Selected DSpark paths also support Helix-sharded context pages.
Shared draft KV selection and peer validation now use draft ownership and effective attention parallelism. Verify compatibility checks for mismatched layouts and one-sided configurations.
The allocator margin can reach 1 GiB, limited by free memory. Verify the cap remains compatible with reserved memory and workloads with tight memory limits.
DSpark now reads the public shift_label attribute. Verify that drafter implementations and callers use it consistently.
QA Engineer Review
The diff changes 33 files: 14 test files and 19 source or documentation files. It adds tests for FP8 MLA inputs, hybrid draft-KV sharing, allocator limits, and Helix-sharded DSpark decoding.
Tests cover input validation, appended-layer ownership and sizing, disaggregated compatibility, page-table copies, draft-slot behavior, and Helix-sharded decode. CI lists include test_kimi_k3_draft_block_rows.py, test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py, and selected test_cache_transceiver_single_process.py cases. The Mamba cache-manager file is listed for an existing test, but not for the new cases. The changed test files do not add selectors to the CI lists. No changed integration tests or manual-QA list changes were found.
Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The changed tests cover key runtime paths, but most changed test files and new cases are not identified in the CI lists.

The changes add caller-supplied FP8 inputs to MLA context processing, extend shared draft KV caching to hybrid managers, and add Helix-sharded DSpark MLA context execution. They also update a CUDA block-copy kernel and adjust the PyTorch CUDA memory safety margin.
MLA context validates and passes caller-supplied FP8 K/V and optional FP8 Q. When Q is already FP8, the quantization path writes BMM scales. Tests compare FP8 and BF16 outputs and check mixed-dtype K/V validation.
Shared-cache checks use effective attention parallelism and drafter page-reading capabilities. Serving and peer checks use draft-layer compatibility. Drafter slot logic and related fixtures use shift_label. Documentation describes supported shared-cache options and layouts.
The launcher assigns row chunks across the grid z dimension. Each CTA limits its loads and iterations to its chunk. The page-table test covers varied row lengths and invalid pages.

Summary
Memory safety margin and validation tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/_util.py, tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/test_torch_mem_fraction.py
The PyTorch CUDA memory safety margin changes from 32 MiB to the lesser of 1 GiB and currently free memory. A CPU-only test checks the memory-fraction calculation.
Earlier review concerns about FP8 cached-KV gating, test coverage on other GPU architectures, draft-pool warmup scrubbing and draft-layer transfer verification remain open. Resolve or explicitly accept them before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 1fcae
Compatibility checks constrain the broader sharing of request data between workers. No introduced security defect was established, but interrupted operations and recovery are not fully verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The security-relevant expansion is additional configurations carrying prompt-derived target and draft state through shared GPU allocation and registered worker transfers. A lifecycle defect could therefore affect request-state integrity beyond a single attention operation; tenant or deployment-wide exposure was not established.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Incoming rank metadata is protocol-checked before construction, and shared-draft layout compatibility is checked before admission to registered peer state. Missing legacy protocol metadata is rejected; a default zero draft-layer count does not satisfy a peer advertising shared draft layers.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Existing ownership-enforced transfer paths serialize cancellation against publication and withhold terminal failure or closure until physical accessors drain. Shared-cache admission also records a readiness event for receive publication. These controls support failure containment, but do not establish complete release ordering for every newly eligible configuration.

Add a test case for the single-head-per-program kernel path.
mla_kv_to_fp8 uses heads_per_program = 1 when num_heads % 4 != 0. All parametrized head counts (96, 12, 8) take the 4-head path. Tensor-parallel sharding can produce counts that are not a multiple of 4. For example, 96 heads over 16 ranks gives 6 heads per rank. A grid or offset error in the HEADS_PER_PROGRAM == 1 path would not fail any test.
Add a case such as (257, 6) to the tokens,heads parametrization.

Preserve the existing test cases.
Add a regression test for the changed Helix draft-layer gate.
The gate used to reject every draft manager and every draft-owned layer under Helix CP. It now rejects only draft-owned layers with kv_factor != 1, so K-only draft latents are accepted. No test shown here covers either side of that rule:
KVCacheManagerV2.__init__ accepts a K-only appended draft spec when mapping.has_cp_helix() is true.
It still raises ValueError for a draft-owned K/V spec and for is_draft=True.
A regression in this check would either block the Kimi K3 Helix path or allow an unsupported K/V draft layer to run.
Add a small CPU unit test in tests/unittest/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/test_hybrid_unified_draft_kv.py. Build the manager with a Helix mapping and parametrize it over K-only and K/V draft specs.

Add a test for the Helix filter in _store_prefill_context.
This branch selects the positions this rank owns on the host. It then slices chunk_k, chunk_v and local_pos with keep. The new test test_helix_context_store_writes_only_owned_positions calls _store_context_kv_paged directly, so it never runs this filter.
A regression in the filter would not fail that test. Two cases are at risk:
A chunk with a nonzero cur that spans pages of several ranks.
A rank that owns none of a short chunk, where keep is empty.
Duplicate local slots from non-owned positions would otherwise reach an index_put with duplicate indices, which gives nondeterministic results.
Add a unit test in tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py. Use a stub draft_model and _ctx_helix=HelixDraftShard(2, r, 4). Check the stored slots for a chunk that crosses pages, and for an empty keep. The generation-path capacity changes (_ctx_positions_per_page at lines 2841 and 2895) also need a Helix case.

Both checks pass even if _with_draft_pool_ratio inserts the draft share at the wrong index or with a wrong value. They also pass if the helper returns the config unchanged and the native manager applies its own default. The test name promises "gains the draft share", but nothing observes the share.

The ratio has 4 entries.

The draft entry sits at the draft lifecycle index.

Gate FP8 cached-KV conversion on the activation dtype.

Test coverage is narrower than the code path it enables.
The test runs only on SM100, SM103 and SM107. _has_fp8_context_mla_fmha also admits SM90 and SM120-family devices. MLA.forward_context sends SM90 through forward_context_with_cached_kv, which now uses the FP8 K/V path.
The gate depends only on the (128, 64, 128) head dimensions, a unit KV scale and a TRTLLM FP8 context FMHA. Other MLA models with those dimensions (DeepSeek-V3-style) also enter this path on SM90 and SM120. Nothing in this PR exercises the Triton kernel, the C++ FP8 K/V pointer path, or the bit-parity claim on those architectures.
Either run this test on an SM90 or SM120 CI target, or restrict _has_fp8_context_mla_fmha use in _supports_fp8_cached_kv_context to the SM families that are tested.

Verify draft-layer transfers when gen_cp == 1.
When num_draft_layers > 0 and gen_cp == 1, this harness creates draft layers on both sides. Its non-Helix verifier still checks only num_layers target layers. A transfer that omits all draft-layer data can therefore pass. Pass the combined layer count to verify_all_requests, and add one non-Helix MLA case. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

E4M3 K / V directly, and optionally an FP8 Q through quant_q_buffer with
quant_scale_qkv, so that a caller that already produces FP8 tensors skips that

…f shared draft KV
A DWDP context MPI world starts its context servers through
disaggregated_mpi_worker from a config that lists no generation servers;
those run as a separate launch. The shared draft KV pre-check required
speculative_config in both sections of that config, so every context rank
exited with TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1. Require speculative_config on
every listed server instead and leave the cross-side match to the peer

… supported page sizes
A loaded standalone DSpark drafter decides whether it reads the target's KV
pages through reads_managed_ctx_pages. The DFlash base answered True for
any page size under the TRTLLM backend, so a GQA DSpark drafter with a
target at 128-token pages was put in the shared pool and its worker then
rejected the page size at initialization. Return True only for the page
sizes the trtllm-gen block decode supports, as before the drafter hook:
at other sizes the drafter keeps its own pool.

13 points — Shared hybrid-cache ownership and allocation must remain consistent with attention input types, quantization scales, and page-table addressing. Reviewing these interacting runtime and native contracts warrants architecture-level effort independently of file count or reported test outcomes.
Importance
Important — Broad runtime and native-attention contract changes: appended draft layers alter ownership, storage selection, scratch reuse, and lifecycle allocation; MLA accepts caller-quantized FP8 inputs; block-table copies gain concurrent row chunks. These affect cache correctness, numerical scaling, and performance.

The negative test covers only one mixed-dtype case.
The test passes FP8 key with BF16 value. A regression that checks only key against value in one direction would pass. Add the reverse case, BF16 key with FP8 value. This confirms that the dtype check is symmetric.
Also consider a case that passes quant_q_buffer without FP8 K/V. That case checks the Q-only input path.

…ing in the docs; test the reverse dtype mix and the draft bytes in the hybrid estimate
The speculative-decoding guide said a Kimi K3 hybrid target keeps a
standalone DSpark MLA drafter's layers with the CUTEDSL, TRTLLM or VANILLA
drafter backend. Whether a drafter shares is decided by its
reads_managed_ctx_pages declaration, and the default declaration covers only
the TRTLLM backend at trtllm-gen page sizes, so the guide now says that; the
list of separate-manager cases names the helix and opt-in exceptions.
The FP8 MLA context test also rejects BF16 K with FP8 V. A CPU test checks
that MambaHybridCacheManagerV2.get_cache_size_per_token adds the appended
draft layers' bytes per token to the slope and does not pass layer_specs or
shared_draft_block_width on to the hybrid estimate.

The new drafter-hook gate in _util.py makes KV cache creation raise AttributeError for embedded DSpark (DeepSeek-V4/V4.1) runs, see inline; I did not review the C++ runtime changes.

For embedded DSpark (DeepSeek-V4/V4.1, draft_is_embedded_in_target) this returns model.draft_model, a DSv4DSparkForCausalLM that has no reads_managed_ctx_pages. _dflash_unify_blocker calls that hook first, and _create_kv_cache_manager always runs that gate, so KV cache creation raises AttributeError where main returned "attention_backend is None". I reproduced it with the main/head methods extracted; TestDeepSeekV4ProDSpark would hit it. Fix: also return None here when self._speculative_config.draft_is_embedded_in_target.

With a one-sided config (the DWDP ctx world in test_perf_sanity lists no gen servers) and TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV unset, this now returns None, so disaggregated_mpi_worker (L2950) sets auto where main set 0. A gen worker launched directly with the variable unset keeps a separate draft cache, so num_draft_layers differ. As far as I can read, only the ctx listener rejects that (logged), and gen's _get_sender_info does not compare num_draft_layers, so gen requests would wait out kv_transfer_timeout_ms? Fix: turn unset into auto only when the config lists both sides.

This cap is set after the final KV cache and CUDA graphs, so the 1 GiB comes out of the (1 - free_gpu_memory_fraction) slack, not KV capacity. If less than 1 GiB is free then (e.g. fraction 0.95 on a 24-48 GB GPU), the cap drops below memory_reserved(), and if free + reserved < 1 GiB the fraction is negative and set_per_process_memory_fraction raises ValueError (checked with the extracted function). Should this be safety_margin = min(1024**3, mem_free), so the cap never goes below what PyTorch already holds?
An embedded DSpark draft (DeepSeek-V4 / V4.1) is a DSv4DSparkForCausalLM,
not a DFlashForCausalLM, and has no reads_managed_ctx_pages. The shared
draft KV gate read model.draft_model for every DSpark run and called that
hook, so creating the KV cache raised AttributeError where main reported
that the drafter has no paged block attention.
_loaded_standalone_dspark_drafter returns None for an embedded draft, and
_dflash_unify_blocker returns its reason before reading any hook when the
drafter has no block attention backend.

…sided config, and the receiver rejects a draft layout mismatch
With TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV unset, disaggregated_mpi_worker set it to
"auto" for a config that lists only context servers (a DWDP context MPI
world), where main set "0". A generation worker launched separately with the
variable unset keeps a separate draft cache, so the two sides disagree.
_shared_draft_kv_default turns sharing on only when the config lists both
sides and passes the check; a one-sided config shares only when the variable
is "1".
The draft layer count and attention TP checks ran only in the sender's
register(), whose errors the listener thread logs, so a receiver whose draft
layout disagreed waited out kv_transfer_timeout_ms. They move to
PeerRegistrar.validate_draft_layers_compatible, which the receiver also runs
before it registers with a sender, so its requests to that sender fail with
PeerIncompatibleError.

Description
Runtime pieces that the Kimi K3 (SM107) modeling_v2 path needs from the engine, the KV cache managers and the attention op. Nothing here is model code.
Items 1 and 2 apply to every run: item 1 writes the same block-offset table with more CTAs per long row, and item 2 lowers the PyTorch allocator cap set after executor setup by about 1 GiB. Items 3 to 5 take effect only when a caller passes FP8 K / V, or when the target cache manager opts in to holding the drafter's layers (disaggregated serving also needs
TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV); every other run keeps the existing path.kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu). Each pool/sequence row is split into bounded chunks, so several CTAs copy one long block-offset table. Row strides and source layout are unchanged.pyexecutor/_util.py). Driver and KV-transfer allocations made after executor setup otherwise run into OOM when the cap uses the whole free memory.thop/attentionOp.cpp,mlaKernels.cu,attention/backends/trtllm.py). With an FP8 KV cache the FP8 context MLA FMHA reads FP8 Q, K and V, and the op copies BF16 inputs to FP8 on every call. A caller may now pass E4M3 K / V, and optionally an FP8 Q throughquant_q_bufferwithquant_scale_qkv, to skip that copy; BF16 inputs keep the existing path.TrtllmAttention.has_fp8_context_mlatells callers when the op runs this FMHA.serve.py,DFlashForCausalLM).accepts_appended_draft_layers; the Kimi K3 hybrid manager) appends the drafter's layers to its own, so there is one pool instead of a separate draft arena. The layout is propagated through disaggregated transfer.DFlashForCausalLMhooks (reads_managed_ctx_pages,reads_helix_sharded_ctx_pages,shift_label), so a helix-sharded context is shared only with a drafter that reads it. The defaultreads_managed_ctx_pagescovers the TRTLLM block attention at trtllm-gen page sizes, as before; a drafter whose other backends read the manager's pages declares that itself. DSpark's_dspark_shift_labelbecomes the declaredshift_label.TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1. The serve-side compatibility check now compares attention TP (attention DP counts as 1) and allows context parallelism for DSpark with attention_backend CUTEDSL.docs/source/features/speculative-decoding.md.serve.py). A DWDP context MPI world starts its context servers throughdisaggregated_mpi_workerfrom a config that lists no generation servers. The pre-check requiredspeculative_configin both sections, so every context rank exited underTRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1.

The only failures aretest_kv_cache_v2_vocab_size.py::test_branch_only_enables_multimodal_keys_when_needed(3 parametrizations); they fail the same way on main (model_engine.model.modules()on aSimpleNamespacestub in_create_kv_cache_manager).test_cache_transceiver_single_process.pypasses in full (269).test_fp4_mla.py,test_fp4_mla_kv_transfer.py,test_kimi_k3_mla.py,test_dspark_cute_dsl_attention.py,test_kimi_kda_fused_verify_parity.py,test_mla_fp8_context_inputs.py: 221 passed. The 2 failures,test_fp4_mla_helix_scatter_uses_global_rope_and_local_cache_position[active/inactive], compare the whole fixed-size packed-Q buffer (128 rows) with the 4 active rows. The test and the code it checks (fp4_mla/cache_update.py,fp4_mla/config.py) are the same as on main, which skips this test on its GPUs.a7c1d27 changes only the documentation and two test files; both files pass on GB300 at that commit (
