Summary

Ports the Kimi K3 MLA decode backend-selection feature from the feat/kimi_k3 integration branch to main, and folds in the four TRTLLM-15033 review follow-ups deferred from #17320.

With this change, K3's absorbed MLA generation runs on the FlashInfer CuTe-DSL kernel for BF16 KV cache (the configuration K3's decode perf was tuned on) and falls back to trtllm-gen for FP8 KV cache, mixed context/generation batches, and multi-token generation. Models other than K3 are unaffected: the default flashinfer_mla_backend stays trtllm-gen and the per-batch policy hook defaults to None, so every existing call site resolves exactly as before.

Source commits on feat/kimi_k3 (both TRTLLM-15001):

The port was reconciled by hand against main (not cherry-picked): main moved to public FlashInfer APIs (#15300) and removed the trtllm-gen block-table superblock padding, so the superblock math here exists only inside the CuTe-DSL staging branch; the trtllm-gen path keeps main's unpadded behavior.

Base

Based on main (5e09668) with PR #17684 (pengbowang-nv:dev-remove-k3-padding-128, head c9a8229) merged in, since #17684 rewrites the K3 MLA sharding this feature plugs into. Do not merge this PR before #17684.

The original plan also included basing on #17796 (K3 helix wiring), but #17796 conflicts architecturally with #17684: it extends the head-padding/pre-division machinery (_mla_tp_size, _load_kimi_k3_mla_kv_b_proj) that #17684 deletes, and its helix-chunked output gate sizing (num_heads_tp_cp) contradicts #17684's q_b_proj-mapped column sharding. That reconciliation belongs to #17796's rebase over #17684 and is out of scope here; this PR does not touch the files in ways that add new conflicts for #17796 beyond the ones it already has with #17684.

TRTLLM-15033 follow-ups folded in

  1. num_gen_tokens contract_get_effective_mla_backend's token argument is named num_gen_tokens and both call sites pass the generation-token count (prepare_workspace passes the num_gen_tokens it already computes; run_mla_generation receives the generation slice from phased.py). Previously the two callers passed semantically different quantities that only agreed by accident.
  2. Per-layer log spam — the FP8-KV override message uses logger.info_once (was once per MLA layer, ~60x at startup).
  3. Env-knob validation + docsTLLM_K3_MLA_GEN_BACKEND is validated where it is read, with an error naming the variable; the selector, the policy hook, and K3's defaults are documented in ATTENTION_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md.
  4. Guarded forwardingcreate_attention raises a clear ValueError when flashinfer_mla_backend is set for a non-TRTLLM attention backend (chosen over warn-and-drop: silently ignoring a configured MLA kernel would hide a perf misconfiguration). Only TrtllmAttention (and subclasses) accept the kwarg.

Reconciliation with #17684 (padding removal)

#17320's docstring justified the single-token-generation guard partly by "K3's 128 padded query heads restrict the CuTe-DSL kernel to one query token per request." #17684 removes that padding, and the CuTe-DSL monolithic kernel itself accepts multi-token queries (rows are tiled as q_token * num_heads + q_head at m_tile=128; only num_heads <= 128 is a hard limit — CuteDslMlaFmha on main already runs seq_len_q > 1 spec-decode).

The guard is kept with a corrected docstring, because its other rationale is padding-independent: the staged page table is reused across MLA layers only for generation-only one-token-per-request batches (a mixed batch would repeat the staging copies in every layer and regress TTFT), and K3's CuTe-DSL decode tuning covers only the one-token regime. Relaxing the multi-token fallback is a possible follow-up once perf data exists for it.

Validation

Done in this PR (no GPU perf validation was possible in the authoring environment):

  • pre-commit clean on all touched files.
  • Import smoke of every edited module plus the CPU-runnable unit tests (tests/unittest/_torch/attention/test_fmha_page_index.py, tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py) inside the standard container.

Remaining before un-drafting:

  • /bot run CI green.
  • DEFERRED: GPU run of K3 decode on this branch (BF16 KV → CuTe-DSL selected; FP8 KV → trtllm-gen; mixed/multi-token batches fall back).
  • DEFERRED: Decode perf parity vs feat/kimi_k3 for the BF16-KV CuTe-DSL path, including CUDA-graph capture/replay.
  • Confirm [None][feat] Remove padding in Kimi K3 MLA module #17684 merge order.

Test Coverage

  • tests/unittest/_torch/attention/test_fmha_page_index.py — CuTe-DSL + FP8-KV rejection at construction, unknown-backend rejection, policy-hook default/consultation semantics.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py — K3 backend selection (default, env override, invalid env value, FP8-KV force) and the per-batch fallback policy.

PR Checklist

  • PR title and description follow the template.
  • Tests added for new functionality where runnable without GPUs.
  • CI passing (/bot run).

Dev Engineer Review

  • Added Kimi K3 MLA backend selection.
  • Uses CuTe-DSL for BF16 single-token generation.
  • Uses trtllm-gen for FP8 KV cache, mixed batches, and multi-token generation.
  • Added backend validation, environment-variable handling, per-batch policy selection, staging support, and workspace checks.
  • Preserved existing behavior for other models.
  • Forwarding of flashinfer_mla_backend is restricted to TrtllmAttention backends.
  • Added developer documentation and error handling.
  • Review focus: validate performance parity, CUDA-graph behavior, API consistency, and merge ordering with dependency #17684.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added unit coverage for:
    • MLA backend validation and defaults.
    • FP8 KV-cache restrictions.
    • Per-batch backend policy selection.
    • CuTe-DSL staging reset.
    • Kimi K3 environment configuration.
    • Invalid environment values.
    • Decode fallback behavior for batch shape, token count, and head count.
  • No integration test-list changes are reported.
  • CPU-runnable tests and pre-commit checks completed.
  • GPU validation and CI coverage remain pending.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up.

65-71: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add the H=96 mixed batch with multi-token generation case.

The parameterization covers each exemption rule in isolation but not their interaction. _kimi_k3_mla_decode_backend_policy evaluates requires_cute_dsl_for_mixed_batch before the multi-token condition, so an H=96 mixed batch stays on cute-dsl even when num_gen_tokens != num_generations. That precedence is the least obvious behavior in the function and no row pins it. A regression that reordered the two conditions would pass the current suite.

191-202: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add CPU coverage for the CuTe-DSL workspace layout math.

_get_cute_dsl_mla_buffer_layout is pure integer arithmetic with no CUDA dependency, and it is the contract that prepare_workspace and _prepare_cute_dsl_mla_buffers must agree on. A drift between the sizing offset and the staging offset corrupts the page table silently. A small test that asserts the 32-byte alignment of both returned offsets and the monotonic ordering page_table_bytes <= sequence_lengths_offset < kernel_workspace_offset locks that contract at low cost.

… main

Port the Kimi K3 MLA decode backend-selection feature from feat/kimi_k3
(PRs NVIDIA#17320 and NVIDIA#17363, TRTLLM-15001) onto main: K3's absorbed MLA
generation runs on the FlashInfer CuTe-DSL kernel for BF16 KV cache and
falls back to trtllm-gen for FP8 KV cache, mixed context/generation
batches, and multi-token generation.

- flashinfer_trtllm_gen.py: validate and store the requested MLA
  backend, size and stage the CuTe-DSL workspace (page table + sequence
  lengths staged once per step, keyed for CUDA-graph safety), and route
  the MLA decode call through the per-batch effective backend.
- trtllm.py: TrtllmAttention gains the flashinfer_mla_backend selector
  and the mla_backend_policy per-batch override hook; the metadata
  carries the CuTe-DSL staging key with per-step resets.
- utils.py / mla.py: thread flashinfer_mla_backend from MLA.__init__
  into backend construction.
- kimi_k3_mla_attention.py: select K3's generation backend
  (TLLM_K3_MLA_GEN_BACKEND, default cute-dsl; FP8 KV forces trtllm-gen)
  and install K3's per-batch fallback policy on the mqa backend.

Fold in the four TRTLLM-15033 review follow-ups from NVIDIA#17320:

- rename the backend-policy token argument to num_gen_tokens and pass
  the generation-token count from both call sites, making the previously
  accidental caller agreement an explicit contract;
- log the FP8-KV override once per process instead of once per layer;
- validate TLLM_K3_MLA_GEN_BACKEND at read time with an error naming the
  env var, and document the selector and K3 behavior in
  ATTENTION_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md;
- reject flashinfer_mla_backend on non-TRTLLM attention backends in
  create_attention instead of failing with a raw TypeError.

/bot skip --comment "Rebased on main (a992880). Targeted rerun of the 4 previously-failing shards: A10-PyTorch-3, A30-PyTorch-1, DGX_H100-PyTorch-3 all PASS on the rebased commit; SBSA single-GPU and both builds green. A10 was a main-side test bug (capsys/capfd clash) already fixed by #18076, now in base. The only remaining shard, RTXPro6000D-PyTorch-1, is blocked in an RTXPro6000D capacity backlog: only 2 nodes online, both held by unrelated builds (#7375, #7380) hung ~10-12h (4x their 2.7h estimate), with a 7-deep queue. That shard is not exercised by this PR (attention/MLA backend selection) and was an infra pod-loss failure in the prior run, historically infra-flaky. Skipping the stuck infra shard; all code-relevant coverage is green."
