Summary

  • validate that every element of tile.load / tile.store offsets is a ScalarType with an integer dtype, matching what tensor.slice already enforces for its own offsets
  • restore the negative-offset and reads-past-the-end proofs, which a malformed offset element had been silently switching off
  • re-anchor test_nested_list_closure_var on the closure-var resolver, since no operator accepts the nested tuple it builds

Why

Both deducers checked only that the offsets argument is a MakeTuple of the right rank, never what its elements are — even though both op registrations declare offsets as TupleType of ScalarType.

Nothing downstream compensated, by design. IsIntegerScalarExpr treats a non-scalar operand as undecidable rather than false, and its comment already names the op deducers as the enforcement point:

Operators that require stricter scalar-kind validation enforce it in their deducers.

So a malformed element did not merely produce a meaningless op — it disabled the bounds obligations in InferWindowReadValidShape too.

The result was a silent miscompile. A nested-tuple offset reached codegen, where GetExprAsCode reduced each element to whatever its visitor left behind:

t = pl.load(a, [[11, 22], [33, 44]], [64, 64])   # offsets one level too deep

compiled clean, all the way to valid PTO:

%0 = arith.maxsi %c22_index, %c0_index : index
%1 = arith.maxsi %c44_index, %c0_index : index
%a_pview = pto.partition_view %a_view, offsets = [%0, %1], sizes = [%c64_index, %c64_index]

— a load at offsets [22, 44], wrong data, no diagnostic at any layer. A float offset (n / 2 where the author meant n // 2) survived every pass and died in EmitCastToIndex with a message naming neither the operator nor a source location.

Offsets that are provably bad were affected the same way. With plain ints, [100, 100] and [-8, 0] are rejected by tile.load itself; wrapping them in a tuple made both checks pass.

Notes for reviewers

The bar is IsInt(), not IsIndexLike(). tile.slice / tile.assemble require IsIndexLike() (INT64/UINT64/INDEX) for tile-local offsets, but a tensor-coordinate offset of any integer width is legitimate all the way down — EmitCastToIndex exists precisely to arith.index_cast a non-INDEX one at the partition_view site. IsIndexLike() here would reject INT32 offsets the backend is written to handle. This matches tensor.slice, the sibling window-read op.

Origin. #127 introduced this per-element check when it moved shape/offset args to MakeTuple, for tensor.slice / tensor.view / block.view. block.load still had a variadic (row_offset, col_offset, height, width) signature then, so it was out of scope. #154 converted it to the tuple form a week later and copied the As<MakeTuple> and rank checks — but not the element loop.

Test change. test_nested_list_closure_var asserted that a nested list closure var converts recursively to a nested MakeTuple, using tile.load's offsets slot as the carrier. That parser behaviour is unchanged and still correct, but no operator in the registry accepts a nested tuple, so the test could only ever have ridden on the missing check. It now drives ExprEvaluator.try_eval_as_ir directly — the same call parse_name makes for a bare closure-var positional argument — keeping every assertion. The op-call path stays covered by the sibling flat-list test.

Still open, not addressed here. The shapes and valid_shape tuples on these same two ops remain unvalidated: pl.tile.load(t, [0, 0], [64, 64], [[0, 0], [64, 64]]) is accepted and writes the nested tuple straight into TileView.valid_shape, printing as an unparseable pl.TileView(valid_shape=[[...], [...]]). Same bug family; the new helper is directly reusable for it. Left out to keep this change scoped to the reported issue.

Testing

  • python -m pytest tests/ut/ir/operators/test_tile_ops.py -k TestTileLoadStoreOffsetElements -n "$PYPTO_TEST_JOBS" -v — 7 new cases: tuple and float elements rejected on both ops, INT32 still accepted, bounds checks no longer bypassable, plus one DSL-level case
  • python -m pytest tests/ut/ tests/lint/ -n "$PYPTO_TEST_JOBS" — 10604 passed, 3 skipped, 3 xfailed
  • ctest --parallel "$PYPTO_TEST_JOBS" — 1/1 passed
  • pre-commit run --files src/ir/op/tile_ops/memory.cpp python/pypto/language/op/tile_ops.py tests/ut/ir/operators/test_tile_ops.py tests/ut/language/parser/test_closure_var_resolution.py

…eger scalars

Both deducers checked only that the offsets argument is a MakeTuple of the
right rank, never what its elements are, even though both op registrations
declare offsets as "TupleType of ScalarType". Nothing downstream compensates,
by design: IsIntegerScalarExpr treats a non-scalar operand as undecidable
rather than false, so a malformed element switched off the negative-offset and
reads-past-the-end proofs in InferWindowReadValidShape as well. The comment on
that helper already named the op deducers as the enforcement point.

A nested-tuple offset therefore reached codegen, where GetExprAsCode reduced
each element to whatever its visitor left behind: pl.load(a, [[11, 22],
[33, 44]], [64, 64]) compiled cleanly to a load at offsets [22, 44], with no
diagnostic at any layer. A float offset (n / 2 rather than n // 2) survived
every pass and died in EmitCastToIndex with a message naming neither the
operator nor a source location.

Validate each element as ScalarType with an integer dtype, on the same terms
tensor.slice uses for its own offsets. The bar is IsInt(), not the stricter
IsIndexLike() that tile.slice applies to tile-local offsets: a tensor-
coordinate offset of any integer width is legitimate all the way down, which
is why EmitCastToIndex index_casts a non-INDEX one at the partition_view site.

test_nested_list_closure_var asserted that a nested list closure var converts
recursively to a nested MakeTuple, and used tile.load's offsets slot as the
carrier. That parser behaviour is unchanged and still correct, but no operator
in the registry accepts a nested tuple, so the test rode on the missing check.
It now drives ExprEvaluator.try_eval_as_ir directly -- the same call parse_name
makes for a bare closure-var positional argument -- keeping every assertion.

Walkthrough

Tile load and store operations now require integer scalar offset elements. C++ validation rejects nested tuples and floating-point offsets. Tests cover operator validation, bounds checks, DSL parsing, valid integer offsets, and nested closure evaluation.

Changes

Tile offset validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Offset contract enforcement
src/ir/op/tile_ops/memory.cpp, python/pypto/language/op/tile_ops.py
The tile load and store boundaries validate each offset as a non-null integer scalar. The operation documentation describes the same requirement.
Offset validation coverage
tests/ut/ir/operators/test_tile_ops.py, tests/ut/language/parser/test_closure_var_resolution.py
Tests reject nested and floating-point offsets, accept integer offsets, verify bounds checks, validate DSL parsing, and evaluate nested closure offsets directly.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3f41c

The PR now rejects malformed tile offsets before bounds reasoning and code generation while preserving valid integer offsets. It is mergeable with owner awareness for a bounded registry-documentation mismatch and more precise test regexes; no production correctness or security blocker remains.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with offsets aligned,
Integer steps are easy to find.
Nested paths hop out of view,
Floaty steps are vetoed too.
Load and store now check each way,
While tests keep burrows safe today.

…offsets metadata

The registry descriptions for both offsets arguments still read "TupleType of
ScalarType" after the deducers began rejecting floating-point elements, so
registry-derived documentation advertised offsets the operator refuses. Say
"TupleType of integer ScalarType" instead, and align the validator's own doc
comment, which quotes that wording.

The shapes and valid_shape descriptions on the same two ops are left alone:
those tuples genuinely are not element-validated yet, so the looser wording
still describes what they accept.

Also escape the literal period in the five pytest.raises match patterns, so
each one requires the exact operator name rather than treating "." as a
wildcard.

…nts (#2570)

## Summary

- validate that every element of `tile.load`'s `shapes` / `valid_shape`
and `tile.store`'s optional `shapes` is a `ScalarType` with an integer
dtype, closing the last three slots in the family #2565 started
- restore the valid-region-fits and reads-past-the-end proofs, which a
malformed extent had been silently switching off
- give the DSL's keyword spelling of the same mistake a diagnostic that
names it, instead of a bare `Cannot convert <class 'list'>`

## Why

#2565 gave the `offsets` tuple of `tile.load` / `tile.store` an
element-wise check. The `shapes` and `valid_shape` tuples on the same
two ops never got one, even though both op registrations declare them
"TupleType of ScalarType" — so the same silent miscompile stayed
reachable through a different argument.

Nothing downstream compensates, by design. `InferWindowReadValidShape`'s
obligations are defined only over integer scalars, so a non-scalar
element makes them *undecidable* rather than false. The checks then
pass, and codegen lowers whatever the element reduces to — its last
leaf, for a nested tuple.

A realistic way to write it: reading `valid_shape` as per-dim `[start,
extent]` pairs, mirroring the `offsets` / `shapes` pair right before it.

```python
@pl.function(type=pl.FunctionType.InCore)
def kernel(self, a: pl.Tensor[[128, 128], pl.FP32],
           out: pl.Tensor[[128, 128], pl.FP32]) -> pl.Tensor[[128, 128], pl.FP32]:
    # meant: valid_shape=[200, 64] — already too big for a 128-row source
    t = pl.load(a, [0, 0], [64, 64], [[200, 200], [64, 64]])
    return pl.store(t, [0, 0], out)
```

With plain ints, `valid_shape=[200, 64]` is rejected by `tile.load`
itself:

```
tile.load valid_shape 0 is 200, which exceeds the window extent 64;
a valid region cannot be larger than the shape that holds it
```

With the extra bracket level it compiled clean, all the way to valid
PTO:

```mlir
%t = pto.alloc_tile addr = %c0_i64 valid_row = %c200_index valid_col = %c64_index
     : !pto.tile_buf<loc=vec, dtype=f32, rows=64, cols=64, ...>   // 200 valid rows in a 64-row tile
%a_pview = pto.partition_view %a_view, offsets = [%c0, %c0], sizes = [%c200_index, %c64_index]
pto.tload  ins(%a_pview) outs(%t)                                  // reads 200 rows of a 128-row tensor
pto.tstore ins(%t) outs(%out_pview)                                // writes 200 rows into a 128-row output
```

— an out-of-bounds GM read *and* an out-of-bounds store, no diagnostic
at any layer.

The benign case is arguably worse: `valid_shape=[[0, 40], [0, 56]]`
emits `valid_row = 40, valid_col = 56`, which looks correct and quietly
confirms the wrong mental model.

The other two slots fail less catastrophically but still badly. A nested
`shapes` lands in `TileType.shape_` and dies 20 passes later in
`InitMemRef` with `InternalError: requires static shape for variable
't__ssa_v0' ... Fix the upstream op` — naming neither `tile.load` nor
the nested tuple. `tile.store`'s optional `shapes` is accepted and
silently ignored.

## Notes for reviewers

**The bar stays `IsInt()`**, matching what `tensor.slice` enforces for
its own `shape` tuple. Non-INDEX integer extents (INT32) and symbolic
dynamic extents remain legal — both are covered by a test, since a
stricter bar would break ordinary dynamic-shape kernels.

**Only the positional spelling reached the deducer.** The DSL parser
turns a list literal into a `MakeTuple` recursively; `_wrap_arg` unwraps
exactly one level, so inner `MakeTuple`s arrive as `ir.Expr` and sail
through `_to_make_tuple`. Spelled as a kwarg (`valid_shape=[[...]]`) the
list never becomes IR at all — it died in `_normalize_expr` with `Cannot
convert <class 'list'> to IR expression`, an op-agnostic `TypeError`
naming neither the argument nor the mistake. Two spellings of one
mistake, two unrelated behaviours. This adds a nested-sequence branch at
that shared conversion point, so both now report something actionable.
Nothing in-tree matched on the old message.

**Helper rename.** `ValidateOffsetTupleElements` becomes
`ValidateIntScalarTupleElements(tuple, op_name, role)`; `role` names the
operand with the spelling the DSL exposes (`offset` / `shapes` /
`valid_shape`) so the message points at the argument the author wrote.
Existing `offset` messages are unchanged.

**DSL tests use an `Any`-annotated closure var**, as the offsets tests
do — pyright rejects a nested list literal statically, so the value's
shape has to be knowable only at parse time for the test to exercise
what a checker cannot catch.

## Summary

`BlockNzTensorViews` now maps a *symbolic* trailing slice offset into blocked NZ
coordinates, so an NZ weight can be sliced by a loop-derived index. It previously
required `ConstInt` on both trailing offsets, which left the grouped-matmul
weight path that motivated GM-side NZ (hw-native-sys#2533) unable to compile at all.

Closes hw-native-sys#2548.

## What a symbolic offset actually looks like

A slice offset reaches the pass as the SSA name it was bound to, never as the
arithmetic that produced it, and the motivating kernel carries two *different*
symbolic shapes — one per axis:

| Offset | Form | Proof available |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `n0__ssa_v0` (row axis, `/16`) | `Var` defined by `AssignStmt: nb * 256` | SSA definition chain, then a structural rewrite |
| `k0__idx_v0` (C0 axis, `/c0`) | `ForStmt` loop variable of `pl.pipeline(512, 4096, 512)` | `start` and `step` are both multiples |

Handling only the first leaves the kernel rejected on the other axis, so both
are implemented.

## Changes

- `tensor_view_semantics.h`: new `DivideIndexExactly`, returning the exact
  quotient `expr / divisor` or `nullptr`. Arms: `ConstInt`; `Mul` (one factor
  divides, `(a*b)/d = (a/d)*b`); `Add` / `Sub` (both sides divide, `(a±b)/d =
  a/d ± b/d`); `Var` (a known multiple divides to `FloorDiv`, otherwise recurse
  into its SSA definition). `NzOffsetFacts` carries the two bindings the walk
  needs, and a default-constructed one reproduces the previous constant-only
  behaviour.
- `block_nz_tensor_views_pass.cpp`: new `NzOffsetFactStore` collects a
  function's `AssignStmt` definitions and constant-bounded loop variables in one
  read-only walk, so the rewrite stays a constant-time lookup and the pass stays
  O(N). The walk carries a fixed node-visit budget, because following SSA
  definitions through a diamond (`x = y + y`) could otherwise re-enter
  exponentially.

Exactness is the contract: the quotient must equal `expr / divisor` for *every*
runtime value the offset can take, so a caller may substitute it for a blocked
coordinate with no range check. Anything unproven is rejected with a diagnostic
naming the provable forms — a guessed coordinate reads the wrong fractal with no
diagnostic anywhere downstream.

## Two deliberate limits

A loop variable divides to a `FloorDiv` rather than a folded product because
nothing in the IR names its trip count; that division is exact precisely because
divisibility was proven first. And `As<Var>` excludes `IterArg` (per
`ir-kind-traits`): its value changes every iteration, so neither its initial
value nor any binding recorded for it describes the value a given use sees.

Rebuilt nodes go through the promoting `MakeMul` / `MakeAdd` / `MakeSub` rather
than `MakeIndexMul`. A `tile.load` offset only has to be an *integer* scalar
(hw-native-sys#2565), so forcing INDEX on a node whose operands are INT32 would leave the
declared dtype disagreeing with them and emit ill-typed arithmetic.

## Tests

`test_rejects_dynamic_slice_offset` pinned the limitation this change removes,
and is replaced by:

- `test_maps_an_spmd_derived_slice_offset` — `n0 = nb * 256` becomes `nb * 16`,
  which also pins that the rewrite follows the definition chain
- `test_maps_a_loop_variable_slice_offset` — a `pl.pipeline` index becomes
  `k0 // 32`
- `test_codegen_emits_the_divided_offset_as_one_multiply` — the blocked
  coordinate reaches `pto.partition_view` as a single `arith.muli`
- `test_rejects_a_slice_offset_whose_alignment_cannot_be_proven` — `nb * 8` on
  the 16-row axis has no exact quotient
- `test_rejects_a_loop_variable_whose_step_breaks_alignment` — start aligned,
  step not; proving from the start alone would silently mis-address every later
  iteration

Annotating the file's helpers made previously unchecked attribute access
checkable, so `_const` / `_elements` narrow it rather than dropping the
annotations.

## Validation

- `cmake --build build --parallel 32`: exit 0
- `pytest tests/ut/ir tests/ut/codegen tests/ut/jit -n 16 -q`: 8280 passed,
  7 skipped, 1 xfailed
- `pytest tests/ut --ignore=tests/ut/runtime -n 16 -q`: 10092 passed. The single
  failure, `test_symlinked_import_path_still_names_the_caller`, is an artefact of
  this checkout's editable install (a re-exec'd subprocess is still served by the
  meta-path finder) and reproduces without this change.
- `tests/lint/` gates (12 scripts), `clang-format`, `clang-tidy`, `ruff check`,
  `ruff format --check` and `pyright`: all clean. `cpplint` and
  `markdownlint-cli2` are not installed in this environment, so CI owns those two
  hooks.
- The hw-native-sys#2533 grouped-matmul kernel now compiles through the full Default pipeline
  and codegen, emitting `arith.muli %nb, %c16` for the row fractal and
  `arith.divsi %k0, %c32` for the C0 block.

## Still not reachable on device

PTOAS infers a `make_tensor_view`'s layout structurally and overrides the
explicit `nz` annotation (hw-native-sys/PTOAS#527). This closes the frontend gap
hw-native-sys#2548 describes; end-to-end NZ still waits on that issue.
