Description

The existing v1 KV Cache Manager (KVCM) works with the KV connector with restrictions of:

  • Reject when encountering VSWA scheme
  • KV connector prefix contribution is not consulted during scheduler budgeting

This MR aims to support the KV connector to run with the v2 KVCM.
The existing usage of the KV connector will be compatible with the implementation of this MR.
Since the v2 KVCM is naturally built with clear grouping mechanism, this MR also supports the KV connector to run with VSWA models.

Test Coverage

The connector integration suite is parametrized over both managers (ids kv_cache_manager_v1 / kv_cache_manager_v2) and gated in the l0_a10 pre-merge stage.

Question a reviewer will ask Test
Does an unmodified V1 connector still run, now on V2? test_connector_e2e_persistent_cache[kv_cache_manager_v2] — the flat example connector, which defines only register_kv_caches, request_finished and update_state_after_alloc, end to end
Do the kv_cache_manager_v2 ids actually exercise V2? test_connector_runs_on_kv_cache_manager_v2 — asserts the constructed manager and the absence of the fallback warning
Does a VSWA cache report page indices per layer group? test_connector_vswa_reports_page_indices_per_layer_group — two groups, equal-length positionally aligned lists
Does a VSWA connector work on a real interleaved model? test_connector_vswa_e2e_gemma3, test_connector_transfers_only_in_window_blocks_to_the_sliding_group
Do the blocks a window has passed reach the connector as "no page"? test_connector_vswa_out_of_window_blocks_reach_the_connector, test_connector_sliding_window_prefix_is_backed_by_real_pages — assert which entries, not how many
Can a transfer be built against a block with no page? test_guarded_transfer_never_reaches_the_page_bad_page_index_names (tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_layout.py) — poisons the pool's last slot, asserts the unguarded subscript still reaches it, then that valid_page_slots + slot_tensor transfer only the blocks holding a page
Does the connector-side filter mean the same thing as the cache's own? test_filter_agrees_with_the_manager_valid_only_filter — compared against get_aggregated_page_indices(valid_only=True) on a real manager
Is the reconstructed single-pool view the V1 shape? test_single_pool_view_has_the_v1_pool_shape, test_single_pool_view_ignores_the_layer_grouping_order
Can two live pages name the same bytes? test_live_pages_never_overlap_in_memory, test_each_group_addresses_the_pool_that_backs_it
Is a served prefix honoured, and asked at most once per KV allocation? tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_connector_v2_prefix.py, test_kv_connector_v2_prefix_real_manager.py
Are the bring-up rejections real? test_connector_block_reuse_off_is_rejected_on_v2_only, test_connector_rejects_unsupported_config, test_connector_warns_that_retention_is_ignored_on_v2

Walkthrough

The change adds V2 KV-cache layout registration, layer-group-aware connector callbacks, sliding-window page handling, connector prefix serving, and a VSWA connector example. It also updates request-property usage, reporting APIs, validation, rebalance behavior, documentation, and tests.

Changes

KV Cache Connector V2

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured layout and page addressing
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/connectors/kv_cache_layout.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_layout.py, docs/source/features/kv-cache-connector.md
Adds V2 cache layouts, layer groups, regions, guarded tensor access, valid-page filtering, and single-pool compatibility handling.
Grouped connector state and prefix serving
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/connectors/kv_cache_connector.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_connector_v2_prefix.py
Adds grouped page reporting, connector prefix queries and commits, allocation reset handling, V2 registration, GPU-only validation, and prefix-serving logic.
VSWA connector example and validation
examples/llm-api/llm_kv_cache_connector_vswa.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_connector_v2_prefix_real_manager.py, tests/integration/defs/llmapi/data/kv_connector_vswa_prompt.txt
Adds group-specific VSWA loading and saving, sliding-window page filtering, cross-group matching, and cold/warm generation coverage.
Compatibility updates
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tests/unittest/**, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_a10.yml
Converts generation-only request checks to property access, renames connector reporting, updates imports and tests, and expands V1/V2 integration coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8283

The new V2 and VSWA connector path can load KV data for the wrong prefix, fail for normalized attention-window configurations, or skip later transfers. These correctness issues should be fixed and directly covered before merge.

208-214: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test coverage summary.

Added tests:

  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_pool_rebalance.py::TestCanPauseForRebalance::test_connector_present_returns_false — covers the new connector gate in PyExecutor._can_pause_for_rebalance.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_layout.py — new module covering region address arithmetic, dtype validation, valid_page_slots, as_single_pool_tensor accept/decline cases, layer-group lookup, the real-manager builder, MLA, and VSWA grouping.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/test_connector.py::test_connector_manager_query_is_side_effect_free, ::test_connector_manager_commits_only_what_is_honoured, ::test_scheduler_output_resets_a_destroyed_allocation, ::test_scheduler_output_keeps_deltas_while_the_allocation_lives — cover the query/commit split and request-state reset.

Modified helper: _make_executor in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_pool_rebalance.py accepts kv_connector_manager.

Test-list registration: the parent tests/unittest/_torch/executor and tests/unittest/_torch entries in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/*.yml collect these files recursively, so no per-test entries are needed. Based on learnings: "For tests under tests/unittest/_torch/executor/, including kv_cache/, rely on the parent unittest/_torch/executor entry in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/*.yml, which recursively collects pytest tests." QA-list registration is not required, per the learning that QA lists are independently maintained.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Two changed behaviors have no test:

  • KvCacheConnectorSchedulerOutputRequest.update_and_build_data on the KVCacheManagerV2 branch (grouped delta accumulation, empty block_hashes, priorities=None with a retention config) is exercised only through real-manager tests, not by a unit test over the grouped delta itself.
  • The empty grouped page-index list flagged on tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/connectors/kv_cache_connector.py line 769 is untested.

tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_connector_v2_prefix_real_manager.py (1)

3-20: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Test coverage summary for test_kv_connector_v2_prefix_real_manager.py.

Added test functions (new file, all added):

  • Single-group / real-pool path: test_a_request_dropped_before_the_batch_is_never_asked, test_offer_is_backed_by_real_pages, test_the_unchunked_path_allocates_nothing_for_the_prefix, test_a_chunked_offer_beyond_the_chunk_grows_and_shifts, test_a_second_pass_reports_one_allocation, test_freeing_the_allocation_makes_the_request_askable_again, test_no_connector_leaves_prepare_resources_inert, test_a_single_window_still_reports_the_flat_list.
  • VSWA / per-layer-group path: test_window_size_is_read_per_layer_group, test_stale_block_end_uses_each_group_s_own_window, test_page_indices_mask_only_the_group_whose_window_passed, test_alloc_is_reported_per_layer_group_and_the_flat_list_is_empty.

No test functions were modified or removed.

Test-list membership: the file lives under tests/unittest/_torch/executor/, which the parent tests/unittest/_torch/executor entry in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ collects recursively. No new test-db entry is required. The PR also gates the VSWA connector example in the l0_a10 pre-merge stage, which is the integration-level counterpart.

Coverage verdict: sufficient. The suite complements the stub-based sibling by proving real-pool behavior: capacity and history_length movement, distinct non-BAD_PAGE_INDEX page slots, the chunked grow against real pools, ask-once across two prepare_resources passes, reset_request_state on free_resources, and the VSWA window-masking boundary. The single-group arm of the flat-list condition is pinned by test_a_single_window_still_reports_the_flat_list, so a change to that condition cannot pass unnoticed.

One note on assertion strength: in test_no_connector_leaves_prepare_resources_inert (Line 263) the connector fixture is not wired to the manager, because Line 265 passes kv_connector_manager=None. The assertion connector.queries == [] at Line 271 is therefore always true. The test's real proof is Line 270, request.context_current_position == 0. Consider dropping Line 271 so the test does not read as verifying more than it does.

Based on learnings: "For tests under tests/unittest/_torch/executor/, including kv_cache/, rely on the parent unittest/_torch/executor entry in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/*.yml, which recursively collects pytest tests." As per path instructions, the summary lists changed test functions, test-list membership, and a coverage verdict.

cache_block_ids_by_layer_group to use the grouped dispatch only when the list is
non-empty; treat an empty list like None and route it through the existing flat

non-empty lists.

In `@tests/integration/defs/llmapi/data/kv_connector_vswa_prompt.txt`:
- Line 21: Update the prompt sentence near the external-store keying requirement
to forbid using the transient page slot as a cache key; require keys to include
the layer group and stable logical block identity, such as token range plus
cache salt, consistent with _file_path.

498-504: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise non-empty grouped completion dispatch.

The VSWA real-manager tests cover non-empty grouped dispatch for update_state_after_alloc, but no test covers request_finished. Add a test that finishes a VSWA request, records the grouped callback arguments, and asserts both groups are passed to request_finished_by_layer_group. A regression that routes completion to the flat callback can otherwise pass.

This synthesizes a method onto the subclass, so the class an author reads and the class Python sees diverge for IDEs, help() and type checkers. The same UX looks reachable without the metaprogramming: make the three flat forms (register_kv_caches:192, request_finished:342, update_state_after_alloc:384) plain methods whose base implementation raises NotImplementedError, symmetric with the grouped defaults, and dispatch on which form the connector overrode. The only thing lost is that a connector implementing neither form fails at construction rather than at first call -- and all of these are called during bring-up anyway. Was construction-time failure the deciding factor?

Yes. Failing at start-up is the intended. I prefer the current convention to inform the user rather the user failing at first call which costs the time of model loading. What do you think?

Thanks — that clarifies it. Actually the start-up-failure goal is already covered independently by reject_flat_only_scheduler (kv_cache_connector.py:779, called from py_executor.py:1086), which validates the grouped forms at executor bring-up when num_layer_groups > 1. So _satisfy_flat_abstracts really only changes failure timing for the narrower case where neither form is implemented — and even then both paths fail during bring-up, just a few lines apart.

Not blocking on this given the current tests pass and the intent is documented, but consider simplifying to a plain NotImplementedError default (symmetric with request_finished_by_layer_group) in a follow-up if you agree — it'd make the class shape match what IDEs/type checkers see.

Comment thread tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/_util.py Outdated
…uding VSWA

KVCacheManager (V1) answers a connector's two questions -- where the KV pages
are, and which page a request's block occupies -- with one flat index space
over a single primary pool. KVCacheManagerV2 has one slot address space per
pool and one page-index space per layer group, so it answers them differently.
V1 also rejects a connector outright on a VSWA model, and never consults the
connector's prefix contribution during scheduling.

Describe the pools rather than hand over one tensor. register_kv_cache_layout
receives a KvCacheLayout of byte ranges per layer group, assembled from V2's
own layout API so coalescing comes from the allocator. Its default reconstructs
the single-pool tensor and forwards to register_kv_caches, so a connector
written against V1 runs unchanged wherever one tensor describes the cache.

Report page indices per layer group, positionally aligned. A block with no page
in a group holds BAD_PAGE_INDEX in place, so entry i keeps describing tokens
[i * tokens_per_block, (i+1) * tokens_per_block) and an append-delta stays
valid. valid_page_slots and KvCacheRegion.slot_tensor keep such an entry from
becoming a device address, the same two-layer discipline the disaggregated path
runs. update_state_after_alloc and request_finished gain *_by_layer_group forms
that default to the flat ones for a single group. Implementing a
per-layer-group form also satisfies the abstract flat method it replaces, so
a connector written only for VSWA carries no dead stubs.

Serve a connector-supplied prefix from KVCacheManagerV2.prepare_resources,
downstream of every stage that can still drop a request, so an asked request
always reaches request_finished. V2 allocates per context chunk, so an offer
reaching past the current chunk is served as far as the allocation can grow and
the rest is computed locally.

Reject at bring-up what cannot be honoured: a host or disk cache tier, and a
connector prefix without block reuse. Report block_hashes and priorities as
empty on V2 rather than guessing, and warn when a retention config has no
effect.

QA review completed for head 4d6307e. The PR adds substantial V1/V2 connector coverage, including test-list gating, prefix handling, grouped page-index assertions, and VSWA save/load paths. Approving from the QA perspective. Non-blocking follow-up: add an accuracy round trip for a native interleaved VSWA model with the sliding window actively engaged; the current engaged-window Gemma-3 case validates routing/masking but intentionally does not assert restored-output equivalence. Full blossom-ci is still pending and should remain a merge requirement.
