Description

use_host_stop_criteria (added by #15920) was reverted wholesale by #16163, so the mechanism
behind nvbugs/6428069 no longer exists. Its eight waivers have been skipping these disaggregated
PP cases since 2026-07-08.

Un-waiving them showed the pp=2 cases pass and the pp=4 cases hang (build #56392). The hang
is a deadlock in _executor_loop_pp introduced while the cases were waived: the synchronous
sample-state relay (#16170) drains every pending relay isend before each forward, but the first
rank only posts the matching recv pp_size - 2 iterations later. With pp >= 4 and a
rendezvous-size sample state, the last rank blocks on a recv its peer will post only after the
next top-of-loop collective (the disagg transfer consensus allgather), which itself needs the
last rank. Live stacks show exactly that: three ranks in _gen_consensusallgather, the
last in wait_on_pp_send_handles.

The last rank now waits only on the slot whose recv is due this iteration; later slots are
drained on the iteration their recv is due, still ahead of that forward, so #16170's starvation
guard is kept. Other ranks are unchanged. All eight waivers are removed.

Test Coverage

  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py — the last rank drains exactly the slot
    the first rank relays this iteration; other ranks drain every slot.
  • tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py and
    tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_disaggregated_serving.py — the un-waived pp=4 and
    pp=2 cases, on DGX_H200-8_GPUs-PyTorch-Post-Merge-1 / DGX_H200-4_GPUs-PyTorch-Post-Merge-1
    (/bot run --extra-stage ...; needs the ci: full pre-merge approved label, or the multi-GPU
    stages are skipped).

Note for reviewers

waives.txt has neighbouring entries under nvbugs/6655360, 6644475 and 6611817 covering
other variants of these same test functions. Those are a different defect again — a
disaggregated-server hang/timeout at launch on H100 4-GPU — and are intentionally left alone.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Updated tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt.
  • Removed four Llama 3.1 8B waivers, two tp2pp2 waivers, and two TinyLlama disaggregated waivers.
  • Kept the Llama test_ngram and tp2pp1 waivers.
  • Updated pipeline-parallel relay-send draining in py_executor.py.
  • Added targeted coverage for last-rank and non-last-rank relay-send behavior.
  • The implementation avoids premature waits on the last pipeline-parallel rank and prevents larger pipeline-parallel ring deadlocks.
  • No public API changes were identified.
  • The waiver format and scope are consistent. No duplicate or invalid entries were identified.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt.
  • Removed eight test waivers. The remaining Llama waivers were not changed.
  • Added relay-draining tests in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py.
  • The added tests cover last pipeline-parallel rank behavior and non-last pipeline-parallel rank behavior.
  • The new test functions are not listed in test-db/ or qa/ based on the provided changes.
  • The waiver changes match the reported CI results. The remaining pp=4 waivers cover separate NIXL KV-transfer hangs.
  • The test coverage is sufficient for the implementation change.
  • The test-list changes use valid formatting and have the intended scope.

Verdict: sufficient

Walkthrough

The PP executor now uses rank-aware relay-send draining before forward execution. Tests cover last and non-last PP ranks. The integration waiver list removes obsolete Llama 3.1 8B and TinyLlama skips.

Changes

Pipeline-parallel relay draining

Layer / File(s) Summary
Implement rank-aware relay draining
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
The executor drains all relay sends on non-last PP ranks and only the iteration-due microbatch send on the last PP rank.
Validate relay draining and re-enable coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py, tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
Unit tests cover both PP rank behaviors. The waiver list removes obsolete Llama 3.1 8B and TinyLlama disaggregated skips.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 96fbe

The change makes pipeline-parallel relay draining rank-aware and re-enables related coverage. The added tests need the required parameter and return annotations before merge to comply with the repository's Python source contract.

Add the required function annotations.

Line 3344 leaves pp_size untyped. Both test functions omit -> None. Add these annotations to meet the Python source contract.
