Description

KvCacheRetentionConfig now controls native KVCM V2 prompt/decode pages, including reused and shared pages. The last explicit claim sets priority; an unconfigured claim preserves priority and replaces duration. Queue migration preserves accounting, the last reference release starts expiry, and expiry restores priority 35. Prefetch preserves deadlines; late commit/rebase and OPTIONAL-group resume retries preserve newer claims. Failed offload restores page and queue state, and referenced pages remain protected from permanent eviction.

Add KvCacheConfig.cold_tier_offload_min_priority and deprecate secondary_offload_min_priority. Legacy input still works with a warning, serializes using the new name, and stays synchronized on assignment; conflicting constructor values fail. Both managers receive the same threshold, including native V1 config callers. A shared C++ constant supplies the default of 30, preserving explicit overrides and signed threshold semantics. The telemetry manifest and reference row use the canonical name. Human telemetry/privacy CODEOWNER approval remains pending.

Attention, hybrid/SSM and Helix paths forward retention configuration. Under beam search, full prompt blocks share beam 0 pages, while partial prompt tails and generated blocks have per-beam pages; priority lookup follows that ownership. Native page-priority queries reject negative and out-of-range group IDs. V2 supports DRAM retention through configured cache tiers; unsupported per-request GDS/POSIX file transfers return a request-local error.

Connector priority filtering reads native page priorities. V2 connectors with complete grouped APIs can initialize and process multi-group requests without explicit retention. Only requests combining multiple layer groups, an explicit retention config, and a KV-transferring connector are rejected during admission. Capacity-only connectors are exempt from that request restriction and still receive layout registration. Existing grouped capability checks remain. The priority metadata schema is unchanged; no Dynamo change is required. Single-group retention and native retention without a connector remain supported.

Test Coverage

Latest connector fix, executed through tekit-run on shared B200 umbriel-b200-034, using the container runtime interpreter /usr/bin/python3:

  • 20 focused unit cases passed: grouped startup/registration, complete and incomplete scheduler interfaces, selective request validation, and single-group priority slicing.
  • 8 Qwen model cases passed, including grouped KV byte-transfer reuse.
  • All commit hooks passed, including AST test-list validation. CPU-only collection with GPUs hidden found all 4 concrete capability-gate cases.

The model cases cover request-local rejection followed by successful ordinary generation on the same executor, capacity-only multi-group generation with retention, V1/V2 priority/default behavior, and a real connector saving/loading grouped KV bytes across separate LLM instances. The V1 VSWA rejection control is retained. Multi-group xfails are removed; existing A10 coverage is restored, and the new request/capacity cases are selected on A10 and B200. Concrete scheduler capability tests are explicitly selected in the CPU list. No waiver changed. Gemma and GPT-OSS variants were not rerun in this follow-up.

Earlier validation at 2c99ff1065 passed both runtime-only and production-import TestRetention runs (28 cases each), the non-debug group-boundary case, and 24 adjacent Python cases with 2 subtests. The rebase preserved the already-built C++ tree. Prior feature validation also covered native cold-page/offload/rollback and V1 eviction-policy controls, beam retention, OPTIONAL/hybrid/Helix, config forwarding, and model cancellation. The present fix changes no C++ implementation.

Independent runtime and coverage reviews plus a fresh skeptical pass reviewed this connector fix. A separate actual Claude CLI pass used verified claude-opus-5-5 / firstParty; no blocking regression remains. These are static reviews, separate from runtime testing and required human approval. Current-head pre-merge CI is not claimed as passed.

  • Appropriate reviewers requested, including telemetry/privacy CODEOWNERS; human approval is still pending.
  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

  • KVCM V2 now supports request-level retention for prompt and decode pages, including reused and shared pages. It adds priority lookup, timed expiry, retention refresh, and prefetch that preserves existing deadlines. Expiry starts after the last reference is released and restores the default priority of 35.
  • The new cold_tier_offload_min_priority setting defaults to 30. The deprecated secondary_offload_min_priority remains accepted as a compatibility alias. Pages below the threshold are dropped instead of offloaded; the change also updates priority queue ordering and failed-offload recovery.
  • Beam search shares full prompt-prefix blocks through beam 0. Partial tails and generated blocks use per-beam pages. Connector metadata reports native V2 priorities when retention is configured. V2 rejects unsupported per-request transfer modes and rejects retention requests for multi-group KV-transferring connectors; capacity-only connectors are exempt.
  • The changes span native and Python APIs, executor validation, connectors, configuration, and documentation. Reported focused validation passed, but the linked main-branch PR pipeline failed without supplied failing-test details. Latest multi-group model cases were not rerun, and current-head pre-merge CI is not reported as passing.

QA Engineer Review

  • Tests cover native retention claims and expiry, shared pages, reuse and resume, partial copies, offload thresholds and failure recovery, Helix and Mamba retention, connector initialization and priorities, configuration compatibility, and resource-manager forwarding. The changes also update fixtures for new request and manager fields.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_a10.yml includes connector cases for V1 and V2, priority cases, capacity-only multi-group retention, and related cache behaviors. l0_b200.yml adds selected connector, Helix, Mamba, and cancellation cases. l0_cpu.yml lists grouped-scheduler validation tests. Relevant manual-QA lists also contain KV-cache-related cases; list inclusion does not establish execution or success.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Focused development tests are reported as passing, but the linked main-branch pipeline failed without test details. The latest multi-group model cases were not rerun.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds request-level KV-cache retention, page-priority reporting, retention expiry, and reuse prefetch APIs to KV Cache Manager V2. It also adds a configurable cold-tier offload threshold and updates Python configuration, executor and connector integration, tests, and documentation.

Changes

KV Cache Manager V2

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cold-tier threshold and configuration
cpp/include/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/common.h, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/{evictionPolicy.cpp,kv_cache_manager_v2/config.h,kv_cache_manager_v2/kvCacheManager.*,kv_cache_manager_v2/storageManager.*}, cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2.cpp, tensorrt_llm/llmapi/llm_args.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/resource_manager.py, tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/*, docs/source/features/kvcache.md, docs/source/developer-guide/telemetry.md, tensorrt_llm/usage/llm_args_golden_manifest.json, tests/unittest/llmapi/test_llm_args.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_resource_manager.py, tests/unittest/disaggregated/*, examples/disaggregated/slurm/cache_transceiver_test/run_cache_transceiver_test.py, cpp/tests/unit_tests/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2ColdPageTest.cpp
The default cold-tier threshold is 30. Unreferenced hot-tier pages below the configured threshold are dropped rather than migrated. Python configuration uses cold_tier_offload_min_priority; secondary_offload_min_priority remains a deprecated alias.
Page retention and expiry lifecycle
cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/{eventManager.*,eventSink.h,evictionController.cpp,page.*,storageManager.*}
Pages now expose priority through an accessor and store retention priority and duration. Storage schedules and refreshes expiry, updates eviction queues when priorities change, and emits priority-update events for stored blocks.
Request retention and cache APIs
cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kv_cache_manager_v2/{AGENTS.md,kvCache.*,kvCacheManager.*}, cpp/tensorrt_llm/nanobind/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2.cpp, tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/*, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/{kv_cache_manager_v2.py,mamba_cache_manager.py}, docs/source/examples/kvcacheretentionconfig.md, tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/*, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/{test_kvcm2_integration.py,test_mamba_cache_manager.py}
Cache creation accepts retention configuration and applies it to prompt and decode pages, reuse, copies, commits, and SSM pages. The manager adds retention refresh, reuse prefetch, and page-priority lookup APIs. Tests cover priority assignment, expiry, reuse, beams, offload, Helix ranges, and SSM pages.
Executor and connector integration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/{connectors/kv_cache_connector.py,py_executor.py,py_executor_creator.py}, docs/source/features/kv-cache-connector.md, tests/integration/defs/llmapi/test_llm_api_connector.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_connector_initialization.py, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/*, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/{kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_first_new_block_probe.py,kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py,test_disagg_receive_ordering.py,test_py_executor.py}, tests/unittest/disaggregated/test_chunked_transfer.py
The executor passes request retention settings to V2 caches and reports priorities for newly added connector blocks. Connector validation and metadata handling now account for V2 retention and layer groups.

…s next to main's KV retention check

_validate_request reached the model's optional hook through
self.model_engine. test_connector_retention_request_validation (NVIDIA#20086)
builds its executor with object.__new__(PyExecutor) and sets only the members
the other checks read, so it failed with AttributeError on model_engine. The
hook is now looked up through getattr(self, "model_engine", None), as
_kv_connector_moves_kv reads kv_connector_manager: an executor without a model
engine has no hook to call.

NVIDIA#20086 also made _validate_request read _is_kv_manager_v2, which this PR's
admission tests' executor stub lacked; _fetch_and_activate_new_requests turned
the AttributeError into a rejection of every request. The stub now carries it.

…nd Batch

Squash of the kvcm2-sparse-attention-api branch, replayed onto main after
reverting NVIDIA#19821. That PR is main's own lineage of sparse KV offload; this is
ours, and the two cannot both be present.

Sparse buffers are declared per buffer, so one layer may hold a sparse buffer
beside a dense one and a pool group may mix the two. Their pages are host
memory, device-mapped, and read through a per-request GPU cache arena rather
than directly, so the device quota does not pay for them.

Because a slot spans every pool of its group, a sparse pool's row count follows
from the device-backed pools the quota does size -- which left it unbounded.
KVCacheManagerConfig::hostSparsePoolQuota bounds it, taken by the allocator as a
second budget over a disjoint set of the same pools rather than as a clamp
applied afterwards, so a group bound by one budget releases what it does not use
of the other.

The division itself is driven by all-bytes demand: each group's demand at a
spending level is what its share of that level buys of its own all-bytes cost
per slot, bisected against both budgets, with a bounded greedy finish spending
the integral remainder on whichever group sits lowest in A(pg,n)/r. Feeding the
allocator the normalised all-bytes ratio of its own output returns the same slot
counts, which is what stops _needAdjustment re-firing on an unchanged profile.

Batch holds the per-step page table: members are seated in rows, their page
indices written directly into one pinned staging block that publish() uploads
once. move() relocates a member between rows without ending membership, so the
arena lease and its residency survive, and operator[] reads a row back. The
staging rows are read-only from outside, and a debug check at
KvCache::updateBasePageIndex -- where every page lock and unlock writes --
catches a mutation racing a publish still reading them.

Conflicts with main were resolved keeping both sides' intent: NVIDIA#19727's optional
reuse groups and private-slot bookkeeping, NVIDIA#20086's retention binding and
AttnLifeCycle's isSparse/reusePolicy, main's tierCommitUnit and max-quota
rejection, and its removal of the obsolete warmup paths (NVIDIA#20253). Pool groups
are now keyed on reuse policy together with per-pool sparsity. Staging buffers
take main's StaticHostMem, which suits an allocate-once buffer better than
HostMem's fill worker and per-unit registration.

Builds clean and deploys. Validated on an H100: the KVCM2 suite is green
(321 tests), the decoder warmup suite is green (110 tests), and the KVCM2/sparse
integration suite shows no regression against this host's pre-existing failures.

Replaying the branch onto main's refactors needed six repairs that neither the
textual merge nor lint could surface:

- The MLA generation RoPE path: main extracted _mla_rope_generation_impl and
  inlined the page-table arguments, which a latent write target has to override.
  They are parameters again.
- Decode-only warmup: main moved model_engine.py's warmup into DecoderWarmup and
  DecoderCudaGraphs, so the four hooks this branch had there were lost. They are
  back in the new homes, and the autotuner one now routes through main's own
  generation_only rather than reintroducing a second flag.
- HostSlotPool gained a vmSize and backing options upstream. Sparse pools in a
  GpuPoolGroup pass them, and that group now waits for the fill at allocation,
  the way HostPoolGroup does, instead of forcing a synchronous fill.
- storageManager.cpp lost a closing brace in the merge, nesting five definitions
  inside computeSlotCountForLevel.
- The NVIDIA#19821 revert took three nanobind bindings with it that belong to NVIDIA#20086
  (get_page_priorities, prefetch_reuse) rather than to NVIDIA#19821. Restored.
- NVIDIA#20086 also left one assertion against NVIDIA#19821's get_page_storage_snapshot; it
  now reads page placement through _introspection, which this lineage keeps.
