What

In multi-GPU systems, the dynamic VRAM streaming can crash with a CUDA OOM error due to improper GPU selection. The mod note indicates that using --cuda-device 0 (or a higher number) resolves the issue, but the code does not automatically honor this argument when setting the default CUDA device.

Fix

Added code to read the args.cuda_device configuration and call torch.cuda.set_device() accordingly. This ensures that pinned memory operations and model staging target the correct GPU, preventing the HostBuffer.read_file_slice failure that leads to the crash.

Closes #15255

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The module now detects MLU availability through torch_mlu and uses False when setup fails. CUDA startup now reads args.cuda_device. Valid device indices are selected. Invalid indices produce a warning and use device 0. Missing or non-integer values explicitly select device 0.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 7b377

This change currently introduces a startup-blocking syntax error and leaves the CUDA device-selection logic incomplete, preventing the application from loading reliably. Merge should be blocked until the startup block is repaired.

Learning: In PyOpenGL, bare Python scalars can be accepted for 1-element array parameters by NumberHandler. This means you can pass an int/float directly to OpenGL texture deletion (e.g., glDeleteTextures(tex)) without wrapping in a list. Verify function-specific expectations and ensure types match what the OpenGL call expects; use explicit lists only when the API requires an array.

Learning: When reviewing code that uses comfy/pinned_memory.py’s `HostBuffer.extend(size=..., reallocate=...)`: by default (`reallocate` is not True / False), `extend(size=...)` is a *relative increment* that grows the buffer by `size` bytes—so slicing like `[offset:offset+size]` after `hostbuf.extend(size=size)` is correct and the argument should not be rewritten to `offset + size`. Only in the single-segment reallocation mode (`reallocate=True`, e.g., as used by `resize_pin_buffer()` in `comfy/model_management.py`) should `size` be treated as an *absolute target* and the call/arguments should be checked accordingly.

Repair the CUDA/MLU startup block before merge.

torch.cuda.set_device(0)401 is invalid Python syntax and prevents comfy.model_management.py from importing. The following MLU statements and orphaned except: must also be restored to a matching try/except structure, with CUDA setup kept outside it and gated to the active CUDA backend. Finally, handle args.cuda_device as the comma-separated string defined by the CLI, including None, "0", "1", and "0,1" cases.
