Dev Engineer Review

  • Transfer ID resolution now uses ctx_request_id, then disagg_request_id, then an optional fallback.
  • Sender and receiver cancellation paths now distinguish in-flight writes and support remote abort signaling.
  • Timeout handling now requests peer-side aborts and preserves legacy transfers for continued polling.
  • The new APIs are consistent across the transceiver interfaces and implementations.
  • Disaggregated configurations now set kv_cache_bounce_size_mb: 2048 consistently for context and generation servers.
  • No correctness, configuration, or formatting issues were identified from the provided changes.

QA Engineer Review

  • Test configuration files changed:
    • disagg_config_ctxtp1_gentp1_qwen3_5_4b_fp8_tllm.yaml
    • disagg_config_ctxtp1_gentp4_qwen3_32b_fp8.yaml
    • disagg_config_ctxtp2_gentp2_gptoss_eagle_triton.yaml
  • Each configuration adds kv_cache_bounce_size_mb: 2048 for both server roles.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt removes three skipped disaggregated stress-test entries.
  • No test functions were added, modified, or removed.
  • CBTS coverage data is unavailable.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up.

Changes

Disaggregated transfer abort handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared transfer ID resolution
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/base/transfer.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py
Transfer IDs now prefer context IDs, then disaggregation IDs, then fallback values across request and session resolution.
Native cancellation tracking
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py
Sender cancellation preserves in-flight writes, records bounded cancellation tombstones, rejects late requests, and supports idle-only cancellation results.
Remote abort propagation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/transceiver.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache_transceiver.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
The transceiver interface and implementations forward receiver-side abort requests to remote sender sessions. Generation timeouts issue best-effort remote aborts.
Timeout cleanup and integration configuration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py, tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_configs/*.yaml, tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
Context timeout handling retains legacy transfers for polling and tracks enabled cancellations until cleanup. Disaggregated configurations set 2048 MB bounce buffers, and three stress-test waive entries are removed.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1fa2e

Cancellation can release or reuse receive resources before a remote write has fully stopped, potentially allowing stale data to reach another request, while message-ordering and failed-abort paths can leave transfers blocked or active. These are high-impact current-head correctness and isolation risks that should be fixed before merge.

- Around line 1126-1128: Update the cancellation check in _respond_with_kv so
IDs present in _pre_cancelled_rids are treated as cancelled alongside
_cancelled_rids, preventing _save_peer_req_info from retaining late requests.
Add a regression test covering CANCEL_SESSION before TxSession setup and
REQUEST_DATA, verifying the receiver does not remain blocked.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py`:
- Around line 6703-6705: Update the remote abort dispatch flow around the
exception handler so it returns whether dispatch succeeded and keeps failed
abort requests pending for retry, even when py_kv_transfer_timed_out is set.
Ensure timeout scanning can reach the retry path until the transfer succeeds or
becomes terminal, and catch only the specific expected transport exception while
allowing programming errors to propagate.

The harnesses give the context and generation requests different ids, so this preference changes the key the generation side registers under and the sender stops matching. Could they be updated in this PR?

This gate is off by default and unreachable on the Python runtime, so nothing ends a context transfer whose peer never answers. Could cancelled sends be reported back to the executor?

A saved peer request only means a receiver asked us, not that we write. So a rank that never wrote can free a region another is still writing. Limit this to actual writers?

The timeout check runs before the response handler in the same iteration, and that handler already cancels the session and sends its own cancel. Is this second call still needed?

Also, the pipeline-parallel loop reaches this timeout check only when context transfers are in flight, so a generation-only server never does. Not from this PR, but it bounds the fix.


With ``only_if_idle`` a mid-write session is left untouched and False
returned. This lock also serializes _deliver_kv_to_agent()'s
INIT->TRANSFERRING transition, so no write can start in between.

The idle check looks only at KV tasks. The auxiliary send never leaves its initial state, so a session writing aux data still reports idle. Could aux be included?

These cases live only in the QA stress list, which no pipeline stage runs, so this CI cannot validate the unwaive. Could you attach a QA stress result? The H100 variant stays waived.

This value is also the on/off switch for the bounce path, so it moves these tests onto a different route. Could it land separately from the cancellation fix?

Could a unit test come with this change? The existing cancellation tests in the transfer suite already have the right shape for the tombstone and idle-only paths.

The same order is already open-coded near native/transfer.py. Could that site use this helper too? disaggregated_params.py still resolves in the opposite order.

Thanks for the PR! A few notes:

Please keep #18517 focused on the remaining retry/cancellation fixes: define one CTX–GEN transfer identity and test the real retry case where ctx_request_id != disagg_request_id.

#17720 is now merged, so terminal evidence and KV retirement should build on its published-writer ownership contract rather than introduce a parallel one.

With #18150 about to land, Gate 2/admission behavior is owned there; phase-correct deadlines, late REQUEST_DATA rejection, and quiescence-based retirement should remain in the design follow-up rather than coexist with the proposed 3x timeout. Please rebase after #18150 lands and split the bounce configs, waive removals, and unrelated resource_manager.py change.

With those boundaries and focused tests, #18517 will remain compatible with the design doc.
