GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new environment variable control TRTLLM_EPLB_FORCE_GDRCOPY is added via a public function in environment utilities and integrated into the MOE load balancer's device allocator, conditionally modifying allocator behavior based on this flag.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Environment utilities
cpp/tensorrt_llm/common/envUtils.h, cpp/tensorrt_llm/common/envUtils.cpp
Added public function getEnvEplbForceGdrcopy() that queries the TRTLLM_EPLB_FORCE_GDRCOPY environment variable and returns its boolean value.
MOE load balancer allocator
cpp/tensorrt_llm/runtime/moeLoadBalancer/hostAccessibleDeviceAllocator.cpp
Added include for envUtils.h. Modified isSupported() to return true only if force-GDRCopy is disabled and GPU memory NUMA id is ≥ 0. Modified init() to set mGpuMemNumaId to -1 when force-GDRCopy is enabled, otherwise use TopologyDetector.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description Check ⚠️ Warning The PR description is largely incomplete according to the repository template. While the Description section provides a brief statement ("Add flag for EPLB to force using GDRCopy even when NUMA is avaiable"), it lacks explanation of the rationale or context for this change. More critically, the Test Coverage section is entirely empty—no tests are listed to safeguard the new code paths. Additionally, the PR checklist is marked as complete despite no evidence that several items were addressed, such as test cases for new code paths, documentation updates, or dependency scanning. This represents a significant gap from the template requirements. The Test Coverage section must be filled out with explicit test cases that validate the new getEnvEplbForceGdrcopy() function and its integration with hostAccessibleDeviceAllocator. The Description section should be expanded to explain not just what is being added, but why this flag is needed and the use cases it addresses. Finally, the PR checklist items should only be marked complete if the corresponding requirements have actually been satisfied, and any missing items should be addressed before merging.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.
✅ Passed checks (1 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title Check ✅ Passed The PR title "[None][feat] add flag for EPLB to force using GDRCopy" is clearly related to the main change in the changeset. It accurately summarizes the primary objective: adding a new environment variable flag that enables EPLB to force GDRCopy usage. The title is concise, specific, and follows the required template format with the [None][feat] prefix. A developer reviewing the PR history would quickly understand the purpose of this change without additional context.

139-140: Add Doxygen documentation for the new function.

The new function declaration lacks Doxygen documentation. Per coding guidelines, function prototypes in header files should be documented.

Consider adding documentation similar to other functions in this file:

+//! Returns true if TRTLLM_EPLB_FORCE_GDRCOPY environment variable is set to "1".
+//! When enabled, forces EPLB to use GDRCopy even when NUMA is available.
 bool getEnvEplbForceGdrcopy();

Based on coding guidelines.

**/*.{h,hpp,hh,hxx,cpp,cxx,cc,cu,cuh}: Namespace closing braces must include a trailing comment with the namespace name (e.g., '} // namespace foo').
Prefer const or constexpr variables over #define for constants.
Declare variables that are not modified after initialization as const.
Avoid magic literals in code; except for 0, nullptr, true, false. Use named constants for comparisons and logic.
Use Allman brace style for formatting.
Place the semicolon of an empty for/while loop on a new line.

Local variables, methods, and namespaces use lowerCamelCase (e.g., localFooBar).
Non-magic-number global variables that are non-static and not in an anonymous namespace must be lowerCamelCase prefixed with 'g' (e.g., gDontUseGlobalFoos).
Non-magic-number globals that are static or in an anonymous namespace use lowerCamelCase prefixed with 's' (e.g., sMutableStaticGlobal).
Locally visible static variables use lowerCamelCase with 's' prefix (e.g., static std::once_flag sFlag).
Private/protected member variables use 'm' prefix with CamelCase (e.g., mNbFooValues). Public members may omit, but 'm' is encouraged for clarity.
Constants (enums, global constants, static constants, and function-scope magic/literal constants) use uppercase SNAKE_CASE with 'k' prefix (e.g., kDIGIT_NUM).
Function-scope constants that are not magic numbers or literals are named like non-constant variables (e.g., bool const pass = a && b).
If macros are necessary, name them in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., FOO_VERSION) and prefer constants over #define.
Use LLVM clang-format; wrap lines at a maximum of 120 columns; use '// clang-format off/on' sparingly with justification.

30-30: LGTM - Include added correctly.

The include of envUtils.h is properly placed and necessary for accessing getEnvEplbForceGdrcopy().


173-178: LGTM - Logic correctly implements GDRCopy override.

The modified condition correctly ensures that when TRTLLM_EPLB_FORCE_GDRCOPY is set, the NUMA path is bypassed, forcing the code to fall through to the GDRCopy initialization path.


200-208: LGTM - Force GDRCopy logic correctly implemented.

The implementation correctly:

  • Sets mGpuMemNumaId = -1 when force GDRCopy is enabled, which triggers GDRCopy initialization at line 210
  • Logs the behavior change for observability
  • Preserves previous behavior when the flag is not set
cpp/tensorrt_llm/common/envUtils.cpp (1)

453-456: LGTM - Implementation follows established patterns.

The implementation correctly returns the boolean value of the TRTLLM_EPLB_FORCE_GDRCOPY environment variable, consistent with similar functions in this file like getEnvDisaggBenchmarkGenOnly() and getEnvDisableChunkedAttentionInGenPhase().
