Draft — behavior-changing head passed DGX B200; exact current head awaits no-fail-fast completion.

Description

NVBug 6607481 captured a DGX B200 hang in the V1 leg of test_chunked_prefill_eviction_block_reuse after the harness handed it a one-worker MPI pool on reuse #8. Standalone fresh-pool runs pass. The shared-pool probe proves MPI responsiveness, but it cannot prove that executor state left by older LLM instances is safe for another stateful V1/V2 cache-manager comparison.

This opts only that exact nodeid into the existing private-session policy. The cache is drained before the test, and both V1 and V2 legs receive fresh private pools. It also removes the temporary waiver so CI exercises the test again. The change does not increase timeouts, lower capacity, or weaken assertions.

Test Coverage

  • Focused session-policy tests: 2 passed, including the exact nodeid and a non-private sibling.
  • Ruff, formatting, compileall, and git diff --check: passed.
  • Behavior-changing head 3d62778PR_Github #66171 / L0 pipeline #53843: SUCCESS with 56,153 passed, 0 failed, and 15,766 skipped.
  • Current head 87ccd3f changes only test annotation and pattern casing. Seven direct classification assertions, exact-head GitHub checks, git diff --check, and current-main merge simulation pass.
  • Exact-head PR_Github #66429 / L0 pipeline #54071 recorded 1,205 passed, 1 failed, and 39 skipped before fail-fast. The only failure was an unrelated VideoMME SIGABRT on DGX_B200-PyTorch-6; requested DGX_B200-PyTorch-1 and mapped DGX_B200-PyTorch-5 were aborted by fail-fast. CI agent analysis says no PR code change is indicated; a no-fail-fast exact-head rerun is pending.
  • On behavioral head 3d62778, the exact formerly waived test_chunked_prefill_eviction_block_reuse nodeid completed as FIXED in 50.266s on its mapped DGX_B200-PyTorch-5 shard. The requested DGX_B200-PyTorch-1 stage also passed.
  • A current-upstream/main merge simulation is conflict-free.

Limitations

The original shared-pool hang remains intermittent and was not reproduced locally. This fix deliberately isolates the captured state-leak path; any distinct assertion or OOM signature should be tracked separately rather than hidden by this policy.

PR Checklist

  • Root cause and scope are documented.
  • Focused regression coverage passes.
    Merge gate: The no-fail-fast exact-current-head run must complete DGX_B200-PyTorch-1 and the mapped restored-test shard; prior hardware validation covered behavior-changing 3d62778.
  • Final diff and current-main merge compatibility were reviewed.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Removed the temporary waiver for TestKVCacheV2Llama::test_chunked_prefill_eviction_block_reuse.
  • Added case-insensitive private-session matching for the affected KV-cache tests.
  • Added unit coverage for private and non-private node-ID classification.
  • The changes isolate the tests from reused one-worker MPI pools.
  • Test-list formatting and node IDs are consistent.
  • Focused checks, linting, formatting, compilation, and diff checks passed.

Verdict: sufficient.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added test_chunked_prefill_eviction_block_reuse coverage in tests/unittest/llmapi/test_session_reuse.py.
  • Added test_eviction_with_block_reuse classification coverage in the same file.
  • Updated tests/test_common/session_reuse_hooks.py with private-session patterns.
  • Removed the waiver entry from tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt.
  • The formerly waived test is covered in the CI test list after waiver removal.
  • DGX B200 execution passed in 50.266 seconds.
  • Current-head CI passed with 56,153 tests passed, 0 failed, and 15,766 skipped.
  • The additional DGX_B200-PyTorch-1 stage also passed.

Verdict: sufficient.

Walkthrough

The change assigns selected KV-cache tests to isolated MPI sessions, adds classification coverage, and removes the skip entry for the chunked-prefill eviction block-reuse test.

Changes

KV-cache session reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session reuse classification and validation
tests/test_common/session_reuse_hooks.py, tests/unittest/llmapi/test_session_reuse.py
Two KV-cache node-ID patterns now use isolated MPI sessions. Matching is case-insensitive. Unit tests cover private and non-private classification.
Integration waiver removal
tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
The skip entry for the chunked-prefill eviction block-reuse test was removed.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 87ccd

The PR makes a localized session-isolation change for the affected test and restores its coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify test-list coverage for the new test.

Test coverage summary:

  • Added test: test_stateful_kv_cache_compare_nodeid_is_private.
  • Covered cases: the target KV-cache node ID is private; the sibling block-reuse node ID is non-private.
  • Test-list membership: not verifiable from the supplied files for tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ and tests/integration/test_lists/qa/.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because no cbts_touchmap.sqlite or CBTS coverage report is provided.

Confirm the test-list entries and the required pytest tests/unittest/ validation before merge.

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.

The isolation is the narrow, safe move and the waiver is fully removed (no other entry for this nodeid remains). Two things for the record:

  1. Per-nodeid opt-out is a band-aid for a general weakness: the reuse cache revalidates a pool with an MPI-liveness probe that says nothing about the executor IPC lane. Any pool-reusing test can hit the same silent-worker hang, so this list will keep growing. Worth a follow-up ticket to make the health check exercise the executor lane (or cap reuse for tests that build multiple LLMs).
  2. https://nvbugs/6607481 records mixed signatures on this nodeid (hang, assertion failure, OOM), not just the reuse hang. Unwaiving may bounce on the non-hang ones; the Limitations section already says as much, so just be ready to re-triage rather than re-waive blindly.
