Dev Engineer Review

  • run_disaggregated_test now applies NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=PXB when get_sm_version() < 90. The workaround uses setdefault, so an existing value is preserved.
  • The setting applies to run_env before the context and generation worker environments are derived. The existing UCX_TLS behavior remains unchanged.
  • waives.txt removes the four L40S disaggregated test waivers. The unrelated DeepSeek V3 Lite waiver remains.
  • The change targets pre-Hopper PCIe P2P behavior. The code comment says NVLink platforms are unaffected. Verify both the pre-Hopper fallback and the behavior when NCCL_P2P_LEVEL is already set.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified files: tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py and tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt. No test functions or test IDs were added or changed.
  • The waiver list removes the L40S skips for test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_genpp2, test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_gentp2, test_disaggregated_ctxtp2_genpp2, and test_disaggregated_multi_gpu.
  • All four tests are listed in manual QA (qa/llm_function_core.txt). The first three are listed in test-db configurations for DGX H100 and DGX B200; test_disaggregated_multi_gpu is listed for DGX H100. These listings do not establish L40S CI coverage.
  • The author reports that all four tests passed with the change. Supplied CI updates also report failed pipeline statuses for later commits, so overall CI status needs follow-up. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py: Verify the new environment default on GPUs below SM 90, confirm an explicit NCCL_P2P_LEVEL is preserved, and confirm Hopper behavior is unchanged. The affected tests appear in manual QA and in test-db lists, but the supplied evidence does not show L40S test-db coverage.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt: Removes four L40S disaggregated test exclusions, making them eligible to run rather than skipped. Confirm that the affected L40S tests pass without the waiver.

Description

test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_genpp2 / ctxpp2_gentp2 / ctxtp2_genpp2 / multi_gpu on L40S time out after 300s with workers registered: 0/2. Reproduced deterministically on a computelab 8xL40S node with current main; root cause is environmental, not a code regression:

  • Both workers hang in _run_attention_warmup: PP rank 0 waits in the _should_run_warmup_batch allgather for the next shape while PP rank 1 sits in the first forward with the NCCL recv kernel spinning (GPU 100%). Rank 0's send data never lands on rank 1.
  • On these nodes a plain torch.arange(..., 'cuda:0').to('cuda:1') copy returns wrong data for every element and each copy logs nvidia ...: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT] in dmesg. The nodes were re-imaged (kernel 6.17, driver R595) with the AMD IOMMU in DMA translation mode (iommu_groups/*/type = DMA-FQ, no iommu=pt), so PCIe P2P writes across the host bridge fault, while NCCL still selects P2P/CUMEM (isAllDirectP2p 1). A bare torch.distributed send/recv between two GPUs hangs the same way.
  • The QA history matches: the failing run (LLM_FUNCTION_TEST integrating support for structured decoding library outlines #2432) ran on a4u8g-mil-0029 with driver 595.84; the same node passed on 8/21 (Consistent Output with Same Prompts #2411) with driver 570.86.15, and the "passing commit" run ([Question] Can I build the tritonserver, tensorrtllm_backend and tensorrtllm and then use these build files across servers? #2423) was on a different node.

The real fix is on the node side (iommu=pt / ACS). Until then, set NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=PXB for sm<90 in run_disaggregated_test, right next to the existing pre-Hopper UCX_TLS=^cuda_ipc exclusion, so NCCL falls back to SHM there. NVLink platforms are unaffected. Unwaive the four L40S cases.

The B200/B300 ctx_pp4 cases listed under the same bug are NVLink platforms and are not touched by this PR; they likely have a different root cause and should be split into a separate bug.

Test Coverage

Re-verified after rebasing onto main cc63e66daf (tests now use Qwen3-0.6B after #19178), on computelab 8xL40S node 4u8g-gen-0035 (kernel 6.17.0-35, driver 595.58.03, IOMMU groups DMA-FQ, no iommu=pt). A direct cuda:0 -> cuda:1 copy on this node still corrupts 1048575 of 1048576 elements, while the CPU-staged copy is correct.

With this change and no extra env (workers get NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=PXB):

  • test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_genpp2 PASSED 142s
  • test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_gentp2 PASSED 72s
  • test_disaggregated_ctxtp2_genpp2 PASSED 74s
  • test_disaggregated_multi_gpu PASSED 140s

Control: forcing P2P back on with NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=SYS (kept by setdefault), test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_genpp2 fails with the original signature, TimeoutError after 300s with workers registered: 0/2.

Before the rebase (tests still on TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0), node a4u8g-mil-0024 showed the same picture: baseline hung 3/3, and all four tests passed with this change.

Walkthrough

The disaggregated test setup applies a pre-Hopper NCCL workaround after configuring UCX_TLS. The L40S waiver list removes four disaggregated test waivers.

Changes

Disaggregated test updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pre-Hopper NCCL workaround
tests/integration/defs/disaggregated/test_disaggregated.py
Adds apply_pre_hopper_nccl_workaround, which defaults NCCL_P2P_LEVEL to PXB when the GPU SM version is below 90 and preserves an existing value. run_disaggregated_test invokes it after configuring UCX_TLS.
L40S waiver cleanup
tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
Removes waivers for test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_genpp2, test_disaggregated_ctxpp2_gentp2, test_disaggregated_ctxtp2_genpp2, and test_disaggregated_multi_gpu. The DeepSeek V3 Lite FP8 attention-DP-overlap waiver remains.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: brnguyen2

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 19355

The four L40S tests receive the workaround by default, but an inherited broader NCCL setting can still leave workers hanging. Confirm that test environments do not supply one, or force PXB before merging.

97-98: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add deterministic coverage for both architecture branches.

The L40S runs exercise the < 90 branch. The H100 and QA cases also invoke run_disaggregated_test, but they assert end-to-end behavior rather than the helper’s exact environment contract. They can pass if a regression sets NCCL_P2P_LEVEL for SM >= 90. Add a focused parameterized test that mocks get_sm_version() and asserts PXB for < 90 and no environment mutation for >= 90. Register its selector in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_l40s.yml if it remains in this integration module.

👎 Promotion blocked, new vulnerability found

Vulnerability report

Component Vulnerability Description Severity
filesystem_spec CVE-2026-104851 fsspec is a specification and Python implementation framework for filesystem interfaces. From 0.9.0 until 2026.6.0, fsspec.implementations.reference.ReferenceFileSystem evaluates fields from Kerchunk reference JSON documents through unrestricted jinja2.Template(...).render(...) calls in _process_references1._render_jinja, _process_templates, and _process_gen in fsspec/implementations/reference.py. A document supplied inline or fetched from an attacker-controlled URL can provide template expressions that execute Python code when the reference filesystem is opened, including through consumers such as xarray, before referenced data is read. The _process_gen path is reached whenever a document includes a gen array, while the other paths depend on template-related options and values. This issue is fixed in version 2026.6.0. HIGH

…on pre-Hopper nodes

The 8xL40S QA nodes were re-imaged (kernel 6.17, driver R595) with the AMD
IOMMU left in DMA translation mode. PCIe peer-to-peer writes across the host
bridge now fault (AMD-Vi IO_PAGE_FAULT) and never reach the peer GPU, while
NCCL still selects its P2P/CUMEM transport (isAllDirectP2p=1). The first PP
send/recv in the attention warmup forward then spins forever on the receiving
rank, the worker never starts serving, never registers with the disagg server,
and the test times out after 300s with "workers registered: 0/2".

Set NCCL_P2P_LEVEL=PXB for sm<90 in run_disaggregated_test, next to the
existing pre-Hopper UCX cuda_ipc exclusion, so NCCL falls back to SHM on those
nodes. NVLink platforms are unaffected. Unwaive the four L40S cases; all pass
on a re-imaged computelab L40S node (84s/86s/82s/169s) where the baseline
hangs deterministically.
