User description

Summary

Decision: option 1 (optional mmap + K-quant dequant). The surface landed in #73 / #45. This follow-up closes the remaining RM-367 acceptance gap.

  • load_gguf_mmap stays behind --features mmap (memmap2); default builds remain zero-dep fs::read.
  • Packed CPU dequant for Q8_0 / Q5_K / Q6_K / IQ3_M block is on the default crate. Q8_0 and Q5_K row helpers now fail closed on short rows (same as Q6_K / IQ3_M).
  • GgufLayoutMmap::directory_matches compares the full tensor directory, not just count + architecture.
  • CI mmap tests now dequant packed tensors from the mapping, require a payload past the first OS page, and map a sparse 2 GiB GGUF without ever calling fs::read.
  • Real on-disk multi-GB pilots remain #[ignore] behind ENGRAM_GGUF (real_gguf_mmap_parity).

CUDA host-register stays out of scope. Wire type 31 is still historical Q4_0_4_4; IQ3_M uses internal GGML_TYPE_IQ3_M_BLOCK.

Closes the Linear twin RM-367. Follow-up pointer for closed #7: extraction→adoption gap is #45 (this crate) then corinth-canal#115.

Test plan

  • cargo test (default / zero-dep)
  • cargo test --all-features — includes sparse 2 GiB mmap test
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --check

Linear Issue: RM-367

Open in Web Open in Cursor 

Summary by cubic

Fixes the remaining RM-367 acceptance gap by making mmap-backed GGUF reading match owned parsing for packed K-quant dequant. directory_matches now compares the full tensor directory, and Q8_0/Q5_K row dequant fail closed on short rows. Default builds remain zero-dep; mmap stays behind the mmap feature.

  • CI mmap tests now cover packed Q8_0/Q5_K/Q6_K/IQ3_M dequant from the mapping, a tensor past the first OS page, and a sparse 2 GiB file mapped without fs::read.
  • Real on-disk multi-GB pilots remain #[ignore] behind ENGRAM_GGUF.

Written for commit 70dece2. Summary will update on new commits.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Validate mmap-backed GGUF data and packed dequantization against owned loads

What Changed

  • Mmap directory comparisons now verify every tensor’s name, shape, type, size, and offsets instead of only high-level metadata
  • Q8_0 and Q5_K row dequantization now reject truncated data rather than processing incomplete rows
  • Tests verify mmap and owned loads produce the same Q8_0, Q5_K, Q6_K, and IQ3_M values, including tensors located beyond the first OS page
  • Tests cover mapping sparse 2 GiB GGUF files without reading the entire file into memory

Impact

✅ Fewer false-positive mmap directory matches
✅ Safer handling of truncated quantized tensors
✅ Reliable packed dequantization from mmap-backed checkpoints

Option 1 for #45/RM-367 already shipped in #73. This tightens the
acceptance gap CodeRabbit flagged: directory_matches compares the full
tensor directory, Q8_0/Q5_K row dequant fail closed on short rows, and
CI mmap tests cover packed Q8_0/Q5_K/Q6_K/IQ3_M dequant from the
mapping plus a sparse 2 GiB file that is never fs::read.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation for packed tensor data, providing clearer handling of malformed inputs.
    • Strengthened memory-mapped tensor layout verification to detect mismatched tensor metadata and offsets.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for mapped dequantization across Q8_0, Q5_K, Q6_K, and IQ3_M formats.

    • Updated mmap coverage guidance, including requirements for running large on-disk GGUF pilots.

Walkthrough

The change strengthens GGUF mmap directory matching, validates packed Q8_0 and Q5_K row sizes, and expands mmap tests for K-quant dequantization, page-spanning tensors, tensor-name mismatches, and sparse 2 GiB files.

Changes

GGUF mmap validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Packed dequantization validation
src/gguf/dequant.rs, tests/common/mod.rs

Mmap directory and sparse-file coverage
src/gguf/map.rs, tests/mmap_gguf.rs, CHANGELOG.md, README.md
directory_matches compares complete tensor metadata. Mmap tests cover tensor-name mismatches, packed dequantization, page-spanning payloads, and sparse 2 GiB files. Documentation records the coverage and gating conditions.

This PR successfully closes RM-367 by delivering mmap K-quant dequantization parity. The implementation is comprehensive and well-tested:

Key Achievements:

  • Packed CPU dequant for Q8_0, Q5_K, Q6_K, and IQ3_M block layouts now works with both owned and mmap-backed data
  • Enhanced GgufLayoutMmap::directory_matches to compare full tensor metadata (not just count/architecture)
  • Row length validation added to dequantization functions for fail-safe operation on short rows
  • Comprehensive CI test coverage including sparse 2 GiB mapping without fs::read

Code Quality:

  • Proper error handling with checked arithmetic throughout
  • Safe unsafe code usage in mmap operations with clear SAFETY comments
  • Comprehensive test coverage with synthetic blocks and real-world scenarios
  • Documentation thoroughly updated in CHANGELOG and README

The implementation correctly maintains the zero-dep default build while enabling optional mmap functionality behind the feature flag. All changes follow Rust best practices and the crate's established patterns.

CodeAnt Nitpicks

1 code suggestion

1. directory_matches checks the map key, but not either tensor's public name field, so inconsistent key and name data can falsely match.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the Unix-only metadata API.

tests/mmap_gguf.rs is gated only by feature = "mmap". On non-Unix targets, the test crate still imports std::os::unix::fs::MetadataExt, and fs::metadata(&path).blocks() uses the same Unix-only trait. Gate the import and the sparse-file test with cfg(unix), or replace the allocation check with a platform-neutral implementation.

P2 Badge Gate the Unix-only sparse-file check

When the mmap feature is tested on Windows, this unconditional std::os::unix import (and the later MetadataExt::blocks() call) prevents the integration test target from compiling, even though the mmap implementation explicitly supports non-Unix platforms. Gate the sparse-file-specific import and test with #[cfg(unix)], or provide a platform-neutral allocation check, so cargo test --features mmap remains usable on Windows.

P2 Badge Probe sparse-file support before extending to 2 GiB

On a filesystem that does not create holes, set_len(file_len) can allocate the full 2 GiB before the later blocks() check decides to skip the test. This can exhaust a developer or CI disk, and because TempGuard is only constructed after this function returns, an ENOSPC panic here can also leave the partially allocated file behind. Probe sparse-file behavior with a small guarded file before the large extension, or otherwise make the large test explicitly opt-in.
