Description

Deferred cleanup carried over from PR #17269 (Kimi K3 / KimiLinear model support), tracked in TRTLLM-15177. Redo of PR #17784, which no longer rebases cleanly: PR #17312 already inlined the kimi_k3_moe module on main (extracting the shared modules/situ.py along the way), so this PR carries only the remaining items:

  1. Inline the kimi_k3_mla module into modeling_kimi_linear.py, matching the per-model modeling_xxx.py convention (e.g. DeepSeek-V3). The module directory is deleted and the unit-test import repointed. The moved code is unchanged apart from dropping a redundant function-local torch import and following the file's existing Linear as TrtllmLinear alias. kimi_kda stays a standalone module (general enough to warrant it).
  2. Remove the unused communication_method parameter chain create_moe -> ConfigurableMoE.__init__ -> CommunicationFactory.create_strategy. The only caller (modeling_kimi_linear.py) passed None, and TRTLLM_FORCE_COMM_METHOD already provides strategy forcing. The unit test that covered the parameter forwarding (test_communication_factory_accepts_model_selected_method) is deleted with the parameter.
  3. Tuple default for KimiLinearConfig.keys_to_ignore_at_inference, so the class-level default cannot be mutated in place.

No functional change: the moved code is identical, and the removed communication_method argument was always None.

Test Coverage

Existing suites exercise the moved/changed code unchanged:

  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py (backend-policy helpers; import repointed)
  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/moe/test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py (create_moe path for K3)
  • tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/ Kimi K3 parity suites (construct KimiK3MLAAttention via the model)

No new code paths are introduced.

PR Checklist

Please review the following before submitting your PR:

  • PR description clearly explains what and why.

  • PR Follows TRT-LLM CODING GUIDELINES to the best of your knowledge.

  • Test cases are provided for new code paths (no new code paths here; pure move + dead-code removal).

  • If PR introduces API changes, an appropriate PR label is added (internal _torch factory signature only; no public LLM API change).

  • Any new dependencies have been scanned (none added).

  • CODEOWNERS updated if ownership changes (no ownership change).

  • Documentation updated as needed.

  • Update tava architecture diagram if there is a significant design change (none).

  • The reviewers assigned automatically/manually are appropriate for the PR.

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Inlined KimiK3MLAAttention into modeling_kimi_linear.py.
  • Removed the standalone kimi_k3_mla package.
  • Removed the unused communication_method parameter chain.
  • Preserved TRTLLM_FORCE_COMM_METHOD environment-based strategy forcing.
  • Changed keys_to_ignore_at_inference to use a tuple default.
  • No configuration files or test-list files changed.
  • The changes are consistent with the stated goal of no functional change.

QA Engineer Review

  • Updated test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py to import helpers from modeling_kimi_linear.
  • Removed the unused model-selected communication-method test and related setup from test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py.
  • No matching entries were added or removed in tests/integration/test_lists/, test-db/, or qa/.
  • The changed unit tests are not represented in the integration test lists.
  • Verdict: insufficient.

Walkthrough

The PR moves KimiK3MLAAttention into modeling_kimi_linear.py, removes the standalone MLA module, adds backend and RoPE policies, and removes model-selected MoE communication configuration.

Changes

Kimi MLA integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kimi MLA backend and RoPE policy
tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_kimi_linear.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/kimi_k3_mla/*, tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py
The model module now defines KimiK3MLAAttention. It selects MLA generation backends, handles FP8 KV cache and decode batches, preserves quantized dtypes, installs identity RoPE tables, supports output gating, and rejects unsupported attention backends. The standalone module is removed and tests import helpers from the model module.

MoE communication configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
MoE communication strategy API
tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/communication/communication_factory.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/configurable_moe.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/create_moe.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_kimi_linear.py, tests/unittest/_torch/moe/test_kimi_k3_situ_moe.py
communication_method is removed from MoE creation and strategy APIs. Forced selection reads TRTLLM_FORCE_COMM_METHOD, and affected callers and tests no longer pass or validate the removed argument.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8a2ba

The PR reorganizes existing model code, removes an unused argument, and makes a class-level default immutable; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, and it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

9-9: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial

Test coverage summary.

  1. Changed test functions: none. Only the import source changed, from kimi_k3_mla_attention to tensorrt_llm._torch.models.modeling_kimi_linear. test_select_kimi_k3_mla_generation_backend, test_select_kimi_k3_mla_generation_backend_rejects_invalid_env, test_select_kimi_k3_mla_generation_backend_uses_trtllm_gen_for_fp8_kv_cache, and test_kimi_k3_mla_decode_backend_policy_by_batch_shape are unchanged. The AI summary states the MoE communication_method forwarding unit test is deleted; that file is not in this cohort.
  2. Test list files: this suite lives under tests/unittest/, so entries under tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ or qa/ are not required. Run it with pytest tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py.
  3. Verdict: sufficient for the moved helpers. _select_mla_generation_backend and _kimi_k3_mla_decode_backend_policy keep full behavioral coverage after the move.

Gap worth closing: the newly added RoPE helpers have no test. _make_pos_embd_params and _write_identity_rope_values are CPU-testable and relate to the shared-table concern raised on tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_kimi_linear.py lines 1574-1613. A test that asserts cos_sin[0::2] == 1 and cos_sin[1::2] == 0 on a CPU tensor would lock the identity invariant. Do you want me to generate it?

…plumbing

Deferred cleanup from PR NVIDIA#17269, tracked in TRTLLM-15177. Redo of PR
kimi_k3_moe module (via the shared modules/situ.py), so only the
remaining items are carried over here.

1. Inline the K3-specific kimi_k3_mla module into
   modeling_kimi_linear.py, matching the per-model modeling_xxx.py
   convention (e.g. DeepSeek-V3). The moved code is unchanged apart
   from dropping a redundant local torch import and following the
   file's Linear-as-TrtllmLinear alias. kimi_kda stays a standalone
   module (general enough to warrant it).
2. Remove the unused communication_method parameter chain
   create_moe -> ConfigurableMoE -> CommunicationFactory.create_strategy.
   The only caller (modeling_kimi_linear.py) passed None, and
   TRTLLM_FORCE_COMM_METHOD already provides strategy forcing. The
   unit test covering the forwarding is deleted with it.
3. Tuple default for KimiLinearConfig.keys_to_ignore_at_inference, so
   the class-level default cannot be mutated in place.

- MLA decode policy: gate the H=96 CuTe-DSL requirement purely on head
  count so generation-only speculative batches (num_contexts == 0) can no
  longer fall through to TRTLLM-Gen's invalid 64-head Q tile.
- _meta_safe_cast_dtype: preserve quantized weights (fp8/fp4), their
  float32 scale/dequant buffers, and nvfp4 alpha so the compute-dtype
  cast no longer breaks the quantized-kernel contract.
- _install_identity_rope_table: clone the shared cached cos/sin table
  before writing identity values (the rope cache keys on RopeParams, so
  equal-param backends/layers share one tensor), on both install and
  resize paths.
- kimi_linear config: revert keys_to_ignore_at_inference to a list to
  match the base PretrainedConfig type and every sibling config.
