Description

Builds on #17524 (--build_root) and #17525 (--out-of-tree), both now merged. Rebased onto main; this PR contains only the incremental artifact copy-back change (sync_tree plus the tar-pipe producer-failure detection).

Every build cleared tensorrt_llm/include (~9k files) and the deep_gemm/deep_ep/flash_mla Python trees out of the checkout and re-copied them file by file, even when nothing changed. When the checkout lives on a network filesystem (Lustre, NFS, GPFS), this per-file copy storm dominates warm rebuild time; the clear also deleted the FMHA include-tree generation stamps every build, so that skip-if-unchanged mechanism never actually fired.

This PR replaces the rmtree+copytree pattern with sync_tree:

  • a missing destination is populated by one streamed tar pipeline (posix format, preserving sub-second mtimes) instead of per-file copies;
  • an existing destination is mirrored by size/mtime comparison — only changed files are rewritten, entries missing from the source are deleted, so warm rebuilds cause almost no destination I/O;
  • symlinks are dereferenced as before (copytree(symlinks=False) semantics), and wheel contents are byte-identical in file list.

tensorrt_llm/include is no longer cleared up front (its subtrees are synced-with-deletion or stamp-guarded, and the stamps now take effect). The out-of-tree staging tree from #17525 reuses sync_tree, making repeated staging incremental too. Final artifacts that are few and large (libs/*.so, bindings, wheels) remain plain copies.

Test Coverage

  • sync_tree unit tests: cold populate + symlink dereference, warm no-op (no mtime churn), change/deletion propagation, file↔dir type swaps, same-directory guard, symlink destinations, exclude patterns.
  • Full-build A/B benchmark on identical hardware (checkout on a Lustre-backed network filesystem, build state on node-local disk; also fully in-tree): warm rebuild wall time measured twice per variant, wheel file lists compared — identical. Numbers in the PR comments.

PR Checklist

  • PR title follows the required format
  • PR description explains the change and test coverage
  • Commits are signed off (DCO)
  • Documentation updated

Summary

  • Replaced full artifact deletion and copy operations with incremental sync_tree synchronization.
  • Added streamed tar copying for missing destinations and metadata-based mirroring for existing destinations.
  • Preserved unchanged files, removed deleted entries, handled file/directory swaps, dereferenced symlinks, and retained wheel file lists.
  • Added --out-of-tree support with configurable build_root locations.
  • Moved generated files, virtual environments, ccache data, staging files, and intermediate build outputs into configurable build roots.
  • Added configurable FMHA and version-header generation directories.
  • Updated build documentation with out-of-tree build requirements and limitations.
  • Improved warm network-filesystem build time by approximately 17–23%.
  • Reduced out-of-tree staging time from approximately 32 seconds to 5 seconds.
  • Enabled Bash pipefail for tar pipelines and added a copytree fallback when tar production fails.

Dev Engineer Review

  • sync_tree centralizes incremental synchronization and removes redundant copy-back work.
  • Missing destinations use streamed tar population.
  • Existing destinations mirror file size and modification time, rewrite changed files, and remove stale entries.
  • Symlinks are dereferenced during synchronization.
  • Out-of-tree mode validates prerequisites, rejects unsupported options, and avoids checkout writes.
  • FMHA and version-header include paths support out-of-tree generation.
  • Tar producer failures are detected and handled by the copytree fallback.
  • The --hermetic to --out-of-tree rename requires compatibility checks for external callers and automation.
  • No test-list files were modified.
  • No test files were touched.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Warm-rebuild benchmark for this change (same node and checkout per config, identical build flags, single GPU architecture, 64 compile jobs; each variant timed twice, values in seconds of total build_wheel.py wall time including wheel packaging):

Config Before (rmtree+copytree) After (sync_tree) Delta
Checkout + build state on network FS (in-tree) 770 / 770 591 / 595 ~23% faster
Checkout on network FS, build state on local disk (--build_root) 480 / 473 393 / 399 ~17% faster
--hermetic (all state local) 404 / 395 copy-back was already local; staging re-copy drops ~32s → ~5s

The savings are pure copy-back elimination: ~3 minutes per warm rebuild in-tree and ~80 seconds in the --build_root config, on a warm ccache where compilation itself is near-zero. Wheel file lists are identical between the before/after variants in both configs.

Walkthrough

The build system now supports configurable out-of-tree build roots, relocated generated FMHA and version-header files, incremental artifact synchronization, staged wheel projects, and prerequisite validation.

Changes

Out-of-tree and hermetic wheel builds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build state and staging primitives
scripts/build_wheel.py
Build roots, synchronized trees, and staged Python projects support builds outside the source checkout.
Generated output relocation
scripts/build_wheel.py, cpp/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/kernels/fmha_v2/setup.py, cpp/tensorrt_llm/kernels/contextFusedMultiHeadAttention/CMakeLists.txt
FMHA sources, headers, cubins, and version headers can use configured generated directories. CMake and generated CUDA include paths resolve those outputs.
Hermetic wheel orchestration and installation
scripts/build_wheel.py, docs/source/installation/build-from-source.md
Out-of-tree mode validates prerequisites, stages Python content, synchronizes artifacts, handles stale outputs, and builds wheels from the selected project. Documentation describes the build mode and its constraints.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to cdd14

The incremental build and packaging changes can still produce stale or incorrect wheel contents, modify the checkout unexpectedly, or fail on systems without Bash; specially crafted build paths may also execute commands with build-user privileges. These correctness, portability, and security risks should be fixed before merge.

os.walk(..., followlinks=True) can recurse without bound.

sync_tree dereferences symlinks. A symlinked directory that points to one of its own ancestors makes os.walk recurse until the path length limit. The trees synced here (tensorrt_llm/include subtrees, deep_gemm, deep_ep, flash_mla, staged package trees) contain symlinks created by the build, so a self-referential link is possible. Track visited real directory paths and skip repeats.

Consider CONFIGURE_DEPENDS for the generated-source globs.

file(GLOB_RECURSE ...) and the if(EXISTS ...) check run at configure time only. scripts/build_wheel.py regenerates FMHA sources before configure on a clean build, so the current flow is correct. If a later regeneration adds cubin/fmha_cubin.cpp or new *_sm*.cu files without a reconfigure, the build silently omits them. CONFIGURE_DEPENDS on the globs makes the build re-glob on each build. This applies to the existing glob style, so treat it as optional.

--version-override alongside --skip_building_wheel, --linking_install_binary,
and --install, noting that it is incompatible because it rewrites
tensorrt_llm/version.py in the checkout.

- Around line 1012-1022: Update the include_dir preparation in the wheel build
flow to remove stale files from unmanaged writers before installation. Ensure
obsolete CUDA headers copied via install_file and generated FMHA entries under
trtllm_gen_kernels/fmha are pruned when required_cuda_headers or generated

behavior for managed include subtrees.
- Around line 942-953: Quote the path values in the hermetic CMake definitions
appended by the fmha generation setup: TR TLLM_FMHA_GEN_DIR and TR
TLLM_VERSION_H_INCLUDE_DIR. Apply the same shell-quoting convention used by

single CMake arguments when build_run executes the joined command.
- Around line 573-590: Update _tar_pipe_copy to execute the tar pipeline through
bash with pipefail enabled, ensuring a producer-side tar failure makes the
returned status nonzero. Construct the command without unsafe unquoted path
interpolation while preserving the existing fallback behavior when tar is

Remove stale top-level files from the staging project.

sync_tree deletes stale entries for package directories, but this loop only copies existing top-level files. If a source file is removed, including a previously matched ATTRIBUTIONS-CPP-*.md file, its old staging copy remains and can be included in a later wheel.

Do not use the FMHA source-directory mtime as a recursive freshness check.

copy_resolving_symlink compares its stamp with resolved_src.stat().st_mtime. A modification below cuda_ptx, cutlass, trtllm, or cuda does not update that root directory mtime. The helper then skips the copy, and the wheel retains stale FMHA headers.

Use sync_tree for these dereferenced trees, or calculate freshness from the contained files before retaining the destination.

…e checkout

Every build cleared tensorrt_llm/include (~9k files) and the deep_gemm/
deep_ep/flash_mla Python trees and re-copied them file by file, even when
nothing changed. On network filesystems (Lustre/NFS/GPFS) this per-file
copy storm dominates incremental rebuild time; it also defeated the FMHA
include-tree generation stamps, which were deleted by the clear on every
build.

Replace the rmtree+copytree pattern with sync_tree:
- a missing destination is populated via one streamed tar pipeline
  (posix format to preserve sub-second mtimes) instead of per-file copies;
- an existing destination is mirrored by size/mtime comparison — only
  changed files are rewritten and entries missing from the source are
  deleted, so warm rebuilds cause almost no destination I/O;
- symlinks are dereferenced as before (copytree(symlinks=False) semantics).

tensorrt_llm/include is no longer cleared up front: its subtrees are
synced with deletion or guarded by generation stamps (which now actually
take effect). deep_ep is removed explicitly when a build does not produce
it; the linking-install mode handles a leftover copy-mode directory.
The hermetic staging tree reuses sync_tree, making repeated staging
incremental as well.

Final artifacts that are few and large (libs/*.so, bindings, wheels)
remain plain copies. Wheel contents are unchanged.

Chain the producer and consumer tars through an OS pipe with subprocess.Popen
and check both return codes, instead of a shell string pipeline. A failing
producer tar (e.g. an unreadable source file) is otherwise masked by the
consumer tar's exit status, so _tar_pipe_copy would wrongly report success and
skip the copytree fallback.

Using a process pipe rather than `set -o pipefail` under bash avoids depending
on a bash that supports pipefail (and on /bin/bash existing at all), and drops
the shell entirely so there is no command-string quoting.

Rebased onto main now that #17524 (--build_root) and #17525 (--out-of-tree) have merged. Dropped the now-in-main hermetic/out-of-tree commits; this PR is down to the incremental copy-back change only — two commits touching scripts/build_wheel.py (+ 2 doc lines):

  • sync_tree / _tar_pipe_copy incremental artifact copy-back.
  • Tar-pipe producer-failure detection, now implemented with a native subprocess.Popen pipe checking both exit codes instead of bash + set -o pipefail. This addresses the earlier CodeRabbit finding that shutil.which("bash") or "/bin/bash" could resolve to a nonexistent bash and raise FileNotFoundError before the copytree fallback — there is no bash dependency and no shell=True anymore.

Force-push outdated the prior review threads; re-review welcome.

Pin the on-disk result of build_wheel.py's sync_tree to the rmtree+copytree
path it replaced. Covers cold populate, exclude patterns, incremental
convergence after mutation, warm no-op, and the same-src-dst guard. Small
synthetic trees only; runs in under a second on a CPU node. Collected by the
existing unittest/scripts entry in l0_cpu.yml.
