KvCacheCreator can place eligible DFlash target and draft layers in one V2 KV cache manager. The launcher enables this path only when context and generation configurations meet compatibility gates. Check the gates against layer ownership, dtype, and page geometry.
DFlash now binds to unified-manager allocation metadata and block offsets. Unsupported unified layouts raise errors; separate-manager layouts can use the private-arena fallback. Verify allocation, reuse, and context-slot behavior on both paths.
Peer registration rejects mismatched unified draft-layer counts. This adds a compatibility check before registration.
The supplied CI reports include successes and failures, but do not establish successful execution of the current changes. Test execution status is therefore unavailable. The author provided a performance-results link, but the measurements were not included in the supplied evidence.
QA Engineer Review
New and modified tests cover unified-cache eligibility and launcher configuration, cache-manager layer-spec forwarding, mixed-format block-table indexing, peer compatibility, RankInfo serialization, and block-table offset decoding. The disaggregated DFlash accuracy test is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_dgx_b200.yml; no matching manual-QA entry was identified. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The supplied CI reports do not identify specific failures or confirm successful execution across the changed paths.

Description
Follow-up to #20178. Integrate DFlash with the unified key-value cache manager so target and draft layers share one manager while retaining their respective cache data types.
Test Coverage
The following 24 comparisons cover tensor parallel configurations, CUDA graphs, overlap scheduling, attention data parallelism, and mixed cache precision.
All result columns report AL. Measurements come from the generation server’s /metrics, except the attention data parallelism comparisons, which use per-request statistics from a concurrent client. Both configuration columns show tensor parallel sizes; the disaggregated configuration lists prefill → decode.

Only the target cache uses 8-bit floating point; target weights and activations remain bfloat16. Runtime logs confirm the intended target and draft cache types on every rank, with the drafter using the shared bfloat16 pool and no fallback to its private cache. Transfer unit coverage verifies that draft pages use two-byte elements even when the servers advertise the target cache’s one-byte element size.
Results:
Aggregated AL is unchanged in 23 of 24 comparisons. The attention data parallelism comparison at tensor parallel size 4 changes by −0.20%; this run uses a timing-dependent concurrent client.
Disaggregated AL increases in all 24 comparisons.
After the change, aggregated and disaggregated AL match exactly whenever prefill and decode use the same tensor parallel size without attention data parallelism.
Other configurations can produce different generated text. Among requests with identical output, aggregated and disaggregated AL agree within approximately ±1%, except the mixed cache precision configuration with prefill size 2 and decode size 4, where the difference is −1.89%.

Use a running token offset when seeding unified-cache slots.
When several new generation requests receive unified-cache slots in one batch, the current prefix sums can perform quadratic work. This path is bounded by max_batch_size and runs only for requests absent from worker._req_to_slot, so this is a low-reward optional optimization rather than a steady-state hot-path issue. Advancing the offset for every request preserves positions for skipped and dummy requests.

* [None][fix] Bound DFlash's shared context by the allocation's extent
DFlash took the number of valid block-table entries as the pages a request
holds. On a unified cache with per-layer page tables (e.g. an FP8 target
with a BF16 drafter), a sliding-window draft layer's evicted pages stay
BAD_PAGE_INDEX in front of its live tail, so the count stopped at about one
window (66 blocks for window 2048, page 32) whatever the context length. The
decode-time allocation check then trapped once a context passed ~2.1K
tokens, and prefill skipped the drafter's context store for later chunks and
for prefix hits past the window.
Use the extent of the allocation instead, the last valid entry + 1. Reads
below the window are never issued and writes land in the live tail; for a
full-attention drafter, and on the cpp backend, the extent equals the count.

* [None][fix] Re-seed DFlash generation slots in CUDA-graph warmup
CUDA-graph warmup builds every batch from dummy requests whose ids repeat
across batches (0..bs-1), so a reused id keeps its drafter slot and the
previous batch's context length, which the replay after each capture
advances for good. A later batch can give the same id far fewer pages, and
on a unified KV cache the drafter's allocation check then trapped at server
start: during the advanced-sampling capture pass the filler rows reached
31..79 positions against a 24-position allocation.
Only warmup runs a CUDA-graph batch eagerly, so there re-seed each
generation row's slot from this batch's positions, as prepare() already
seeds a new request.

* [None][feat] MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark: keep the drafter's KV in the target's manager under disagg
On GB300 a disaggregated generation worker gets the target's prompt KV but
not the DSpark drafter's, which lives in a separate pool: the drafter
starts from an empty window at block 0 and acceptance collapses on long
prompts. Hosting the draft layers in the target's KVCacheManagerV2 lets
the transceiver move them with the target's pages.
- MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2 hosts explicit draft layer specs: index-K
buffers follow the spec-built ones, dense target layers stay FP8,
size-only coalescing keeps the target pools, draft layers use the base
view.
- KvCacheCreator unifies a standalone DSpark drafter with such a manager
under disaggregated serving when the drafter reads the target's page
size. Agg keeps the separate pool paired with block reuse, and a model
that ships that pool's window (F0a) keeps it in disagg.
TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 opts out.
- An NVFP4 target transfers with a BF16 draft held in pools of its own.
- A windowed draft lifecycle gets the hot-tier bytes of every admissible
sequence's window plus one context chunk, instead of the bytes-per-token
split that handed it a quarter of the KV cache.

* [None][feat] Reuse a unified DSpark drafter's KV only where its window is complete
With the drafter's layers in the target's KV cache manager, the draft
lifecycle's REQUIRED policy let the drafter's window constrain every
prefix match: a request branching off a shared prefix found no
committed window there and re-prefilled its whole prompt.
- A windowed drafter's layer specs are OPTIONAL. The target alone sets
the match, and a new cache's first resume selects the drafter's
layers where their window is complete (page-aligned matches only).
- Where the window is missing, prepare_context caps the claim so the
prefill writes everything the drafter reads (from L + 2 - W on): at
L + 1 - W, or one window before a branch point within W of the prompt
end, whose window the request then publishes. A partial match first
retries at its last full page.
- The commit gate for unstored drafter context, its unwritten-prefix
marks and branch-point publication cover a manager that hosts the
drafter's layers, not only a paired draft pool.
A disagg generation request needs no cap: the KV transfer requests an
unselected OPTIONAL group in full.

* [None][perf] MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark: copy only the unified drafter's block offsets per step
A hybrid NVFP4 MiniMax-M3 cache is pool-less: no target layer reads its
attention-op block offsets. With explicit draft layers it kept every
layer's pool, so each step converted the whole per-layer table (layers x
sequence slots x max_seq_len / tokens_per_block) on the device: about
3 ms per decode step at max_seq_len 1M on TP2.
Keep one attention-op pool, the first draft layer's, which is the only
one the unified drafter reads, and fill it from the draft lifecycle's
rows with the copy a separate draft pool uses.

* [None][fix] Allocate the whole block of a drafter that shares the target's KV cache
A unified DFlash/DSpark drafter appends its block after the request's
context, through the request's own pages. The manager sized every request
with num_extra_kv_tokens = K-1 beyond its history, but the DSpark
shift_label block is K wide (DFlash K+1). When the allocation ended on a
page boundary, at the prompt end or after a step that accepts all K+1
tokens, the block's last slot had no page: the drafter then truncated the
advertised context and its scratch overwrote the last context position in
the draft layers, silently.
When DRAFT-owner layers live in the manager, size each request beyond its
history by max(num_extra_kv_tokens, drafter block width) at every
allocation site and in the generation headroom. The creator passes the
checkpoint-resolved width (shift_label). Adapted from NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM

* [None][fix] Fail at startup when TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1 cannot be honored
An explicit TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1 on a disaggregated worker whose
target and drafter cannot share one KV cache manager silently kept the
separate draft pool, whose KV is not transferred. Raise at KV cache
creation instead, as NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM NVIDIA#20664's
_check_shared_draft_kv_request does.
disaggregated_mpi_worker now writes "auto" rather than "1" when both
sections pass its coarse checks, so its automatic choice can still fall
back where a worker's finer checks refuse; the creator shares under "1" and
"auto" alike. The unset default is unchanged.

* [None][fix] Let disaggregated_mpi_worker share a DSpark drafter's KV
The launcher wrote TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 for any drafter other than DFlash, and for any page
size other than 16, 32 or 64, so a MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark deployment started through it (128-token pages)
kept the separate draft pool, whose KV is not transferred.
Accept a standalone DSpark drafter with attention_backend unset, AUTO or TRTLLM, as NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM
NVIDIA#20664 does, and leave its page size to each worker's KvCacheCreator: the launcher cannot know whether
the drafter reads the target's page. It writes "auto"; if the two sides still disagree, the peers'
draft-layer check fails loudly. An explicit TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 is now kept.

* [None][fix] Keep attention-DP dummy generation rows on DFlash's dummy slot
A generation row with the attention-DP dummy id must never inherit a real slot, because the C++ offset
copy maps placeholders to page 0: a slot that a context warmup stored under that id would let the
dummy row write its drafter K/V past its own pages, onto another request's page. As in
NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM NVIDIA#20664, such rows now always take the dummy slot.

DFlash bounds each context store by the row's allocation, which it reads
back from the device unless the drafter's block-table rows are known to
be written in full. That was only recognized for a separate draft pool,
so with the unified drafter every context chunk waited for the target's
forward before the store was issued.
Let the KV cache manager say whether it rewrites copied rows in full,
and check the target manager's own table for a unified drafter. The
MiniMax-M3 manager's drafter-only pool is copied in full.

* [None][feat] KVCacheManagerV2: reuse an OPTIONAL group at a partial endpoint
An OPTIONAL lifecycle group was checked only at a page-aligned endpoint,
so a partial prefix match always left it incomplete. A unified DSpark
drafter then lost its window's partial page and the caller cut its claim
back to the last full page, recomputing up to a page per request.
Check an OPTIONAL group at any endpoint with the REQUIRED coverage rule:
the last page needs only the matched prefix. The first resume copies a
selected group's partial page into a private page, as for REQUIRED, and
counts it as a partial reuse. Partial snapshots now publish OPTIONAL
pages as well, so a continuation of a prompt that ended mid-page finds
them. A match whose partial page is missing still falls back to the
last full page.

The test covers 0 versus 1, but not 1 versus 2. A regression that compares only whether counts are nonzero would pass the test and accept peers with different draft-layer counts. Add (1, 2) and (2, 1) to test_peer_registrar_requires_matching_unified_draft_layers.
As per path instructions: “Flag assertions that would pass despite a plausible regression.”

* [None][feat] Unified kv cache manager foundation (NVIDIA#20178)
Signed-off-by: Allison Lim <allim@nvidia.com>
(cherry picked from commit fce28f0)
Backport to this branch: the cpp/ part (BufferConfig.coalescing_group,
the attentionOp 3-D pool-pointer table) is not included;
_coalescing_group_kwargs passes the group only when it is nonzero, so
layer specs without NVFP4 buffers run on the existing bindings, and the
two mixed NVFP4/BF16 pool tests skip on bindings without
coalescing_group. Hunks for main-only features (mixed-precision KV,
pool rebalancing) are dropped, and layer_specs is declared on the class
for managers built without __init__.

Backport to this branch: conflicts resolved against the separate draft

drafter slot parking and seeds in DFlashSpecMetadata.prepare (the
position seeding applies to the unified cache only), and the fused
block-table refresh (skipped when the layer has a block offset). Hunks
for code this branch does not have (spec_tail_kernels, model-level
layer specs) are dropped; Gemma4 hybrid geometry stands in for
_has_variable_kv_cache_geometry.

* [None][fix] Bound DFlash's shared context by the allocation's extent
DFlash took the number of valid block-table entries as the pages a request
holds. On a unified cache with per-layer page tables (e.g. an FP8 target
with a BF16 drafter), a sliding-window draft layer's evicted pages stay
BAD_PAGE_INDEX in front of its live tail, so the count stopped at about one
window (66 blocks for window 2048, page 32) whatever the context length. The
decode-time allocation check then trapped once a context passed ~2.1K
tokens, and prefill skipped the drafter's context store for later chunks and
for prefix hits past the window.
Use the extent of the allocation instead, the last valid entry + 1. Reads
below the window are never issued and writes land in the live tail; for a
full-attention drafter, and on the cpp backend, the extent equals the count.

* [None][fix] Re-seed DFlash generation slots in CUDA-graph warmup
CUDA-graph warmup builds every batch from dummy requests whose ids repeat
across batches (0..bs-1), so a reused id keeps its drafter slot and the
previous batch's context length, which the replay after each capture
advances for good. A later batch can give the same id far fewer pages, and
on a unified KV cache the drafter's allocation check then trapped at server
start: during the advanced-sampling capture pass the filler rows reached
31..79 positions against a 24-position allocation.
Only warmup runs a CUDA-graph batch eagerly, so there re-seed each
generation row's slot from this batch's positions, as prepare() already
seeds a new request.

* [None][feat] MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark: keep the drafter's KV in the target's manager under disagg
On GB300 a disaggregated generation worker gets the target's prompt KV but
not the DSpark drafter's, which lives in a separate pool: the drafter
starts from an empty window at block 0 and acceptance collapses on long
prompts. Hosting the draft layers in the target's KVCacheManagerV2 lets
the transceiver move them with the target's pages.
- MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2 hosts explicit draft layer specs: index-K
buffers follow the spec-built ones, dense target layers stay FP8,
size-only coalescing keeps the target pools, draft layers use the base
view.
- KvCacheCreator unifies a standalone DSpark drafter with such a manager
under disaggregated serving when the drafter reads the target's page
size. Agg keeps the separate pool paired with block reuse, and a model
that ships that pool's window (F0a) keeps it in disagg.
TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 opts out.
- An NVFP4 target transfers with a BF16 draft held in pools of its own.
- A windowed draft lifecycle gets the hot-tier bytes of every admissible
sequence's window plus one context chunk, instead of the bytes-per-token
split that handed it a quarter of the KV cache.

* [None][feat] Reuse a unified DSpark drafter's KV only where its window is complete
With the drafter's layers in the target's KV cache manager, the draft
lifecycle's REQUIRED policy let the drafter's window constrain every
prefix match: a request branching off a shared prefix found no
committed window there and re-prefilled its whole prompt.
- A windowed drafter's layer specs are OPTIONAL. The target alone sets
the match, and a new cache's first resume selects the drafter's
layers where their window is complete (page-aligned matches only).
- Where the window is missing, prepare_context caps the claim so the
prefill writes everything the drafter reads (from L + 2 - W on): at
L + 1 - W, or one window before a branch point within W of the prompt
end, whose window the request then publishes. A partial match first
retries at its last full page.
- The commit gate for unstored drafter context, its unwritten-prefix
marks and branch-point publication cover a manager that hosts the
drafter's layers, not only a paired draft pool.
A disagg generation request needs no cap: the KV transfer requests an
unselected OPTIONAL group in full.

* [None][perf] MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark: copy only the unified drafter's block offsets per step
A hybrid NVFP4 MiniMax-M3 cache is pool-less: no target layer reads its
attention-op block offsets. With explicit draft layers it kept every
layer's pool, so each step converted the whole per-layer table (layers x
sequence slots x max_seq_len / tokens_per_block) on the device: about
3 ms per decode step at max_seq_len 1M on TP2.
Keep one attention-op pool, the first draft layer's, which is the only
one the unified drafter reads, and fill it from the draft lifecycle's
rows with the copy a separate draft pool uses.

* [None][fix] Allocate the whole block of a drafter that shares the target's KV cache
A unified DFlash/DSpark drafter appends its block after the request's
context, through the request's own pages. The manager sized every request
with num_extra_kv_tokens = K-1 beyond its history, but the DSpark
shift_label block is K wide (DFlash K+1). When the allocation ended on a
page boundary, at the prompt end or after a step that accepts all K+1
tokens, the block's last slot had no page: the drafter then truncated the
advertised context and its scratch overwrote the last context position in
the draft layers, silently.
When DRAFT-owner layers live in the manager, size each request beyond its
history by max(num_extra_kv_tokens, drafter block width) at every
allocation site and in the generation headroom. The creator passes the
checkpoint-resolved width (shift_label). Adapted from NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM

* [None][fix] Fail at startup when TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1 cannot be honored
An explicit TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=1 on a disaggregated worker whose
target and drafter cannot share one KV cache manager silently kept the
separate draft pool, whose KV is not transferred. Raise at KV cache
creation instead, as NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM NVIDIA#20664's
_check_shared_draft_kv_request does.
disaggregated_mpi_worker now writes "auto" rather than "1" when both
sections pass its coarse checks, so its automatic choice can still fall
back where a worker's finer checks refuse; the creator shares under "1" and
"auto" alike. The unset default is unchanged.

* [None][fix] Let disaggregated_mpi_worker share a DSpark drafter's KV
The launcher wrote TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 for any drafter other than DFlash, and for any page
size other than 16, 32 or 64, so a MiniMax-M3.1 DSpark deployment started through it (128-token pages)
kept the separate draft pool, whose KV is not transferred.
Accept a standalone DSpark drafter with attention_backend unset, AUTO or TRTLLM, as NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM
NVIDIA#20664 does, and leave its page size to each worker's KvCacheCreator: the launcher cannot know whether
the drafter reads the target's page. It writes "auto"; if the two sides still disagree, the peers'
draft-layer check fails loudly. An explicit TRTLLM_DISAGG_SHARED_DRAFT_KV=0 is now kept.

* [None][fix] Keep attention-DP dummy generation rows on DFlash's dummy slot
A generation row with the attention-DP dummy id must never inherit a real slot, because the C++ offset
copy maps placeholders to page 0: a slot that a context warmup stored under that id would let the
dummy row write its drafter K/V past its own pages, onto another request's page. As in
NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM NVIDIA#20664, such rows now always take the dummy slot.

* [None][perf] DFlash: size a unified MiniMax-M3.1 drafter's context stores on the host
DFlash bounds each context store by the row's allocation, which it reads
back from the device unless the drafter's block-table rows are known to
be written in full. That was only recognized for a separate draft pool,
so with the unified drafter every context chunk waited for the target's
forward before the store was issued.
Let the KV cache manager say whether it rewrites copied rows in full,
and check the target manager's own table for a unified drafter. The
MiniMax-M3 manager's drafter-only pool is copied in full.

* [None][feat] KVCacheManagerV2: reuse an OPTIONAL group at a partial endpoint
An OPTIONAL lifecycle group was checked only at a page-aligned endpoint,
so a partial prefix match always left it incomplete. A unified DSpark
drafter then lost its window's partial page and the caller cut its claim
back to the last full page, recomputing up to a page per request.
Check an OPTIONAL group at any endpoint with the REQUIRED coverage rule:
the last page needs only the matched prefix. The first resume copies a
selected group's partial page into a private page, as for REQUIRED, and
counts it as a partial reuse. Partial snapshots now publish OPTIONAL
pages as well, so a continuation of a prompt that ended mid-page finds
them. A match whose partial page is missing still falls back to the
last full page.

Follow-up to #20178. Integrate DFlash with the unified key-value cache manager so target and draft layers share one manager while retaining their respective cache data types.
Test Coverage
The following 24 comparisons cover tensor parallel configurations, CUDA graphs, overlap scheduling, attention data parallelism, and mixed cache precision.
All result columns report AL. Measurements come from the generation server’s
/metrics, except the attention data parallelism comparisons, which use per-request statistics from a concurrent client. Both configuration columns show tensor parallel sizes; the disaggregated configuration lists prefill → decode.The mixed cache precision runs use the following configuration. Here, bfloat16 denotes the 16-bit brain floating-point format.
Only the target cache uses 8-bit floating point; target weights and activations remain bfloat16. Runtime logs confirm the intended target and draft cache types on every rank, with the drafter using the shared bfloat16 pool and no fallback to its private cache. Transfer unit coverage verifies that draft pages use two-byte elements even when the servers advertise the target cache’s one-byte element size.
