Walkthrough
The pull request centralizes KV-cache and hybrid-attention state handling in cache coordinators and state managers. It updates model storage layouts, checkpoint-aware cache operations, CPU and distributed transfer paths, and PD selection and queue handling.
Changes: Cache coordination and transfer
Layer / File(s)
Summary
KV storage contracts and manager layouts lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/*, lightllm/common/kv_page_transfer.py, lightllm/models/*/model.py, unit_tests/common/test_mem_manager_layouts.py
Memory managers add KV-layer mappings and transfer views. MLA and grouped quantized managers replace several model-specific implementations. Models select manager classes, and KV operators use mapped storage layers.
Hybrid state checkpoints and cache lifecycle lightllm/common/cache_coordinator.py, lightllm/common/linear_state*.py, lightllm/common/indexer_state.py, lightllm/common/state_cache_manager/*, lightllm/server/router/dynamic_prompt/hybrid_att_radix_cache.py, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/infer_batch.py, related tests
The coordinator restores, saves, publishes, and releases cache prefixes with checkpointed state. The radix cache checks checkpoint validity when matching prefixes. CPU-cache operations validate checkpoint lengths and transfer state with KV pages.
KV and state transfer resources lightllm/common/kv_transfer_resources.py, lightllm/common/kv_page_transfer.py, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/mode_backend/*, related tests
Shared-memory resources carry KV views, request indexes, and optional state-transfer helpers. Prefill and decode paths use separate KV-page and attention-state transfers. DP shared-KV transfer restores peer state after copying KV data.
Model and inference integration lightllm/common/basemodel/*, lightllm/common/basemodel/attention/linear/*, lightllm/models/*, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/*, related tests
Models initialize coordinators and state managers. Linear attention and MTP paths read state from those managers. Inference and prefill paths delegate cache operations to the coordinator.
Cache queue and PD selection handling lightllm/server/multi_level_kv_cache/*, lightllm/server/httpserver_for_pd_master/*, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/mode_backend/pd/nccl_kv_transporter.py, related tests
The shared-memory integer list rejects over-capacity additions, and readiness updates enqueue candidates before incrementing references. PD selection rejects empty node lists. NCCL control-channel setup listens before starting its thread and closes the server after setup errors.

Major · Reserve checkpoint slots before the request state changes. · multi_level_kv_cache.py:152
lightllm/server/router/model_infer/mode_backend/multi_level_kv_cache.py:152 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Reserve checkpoint slots before the request state changes.
load_cpu_cache_to_reqs checks only the token budget (idle_token_num) before it allocates KV memory and advances req.cur_kv_len. load_cpu_cache_to_gpu then requests one checkpoint slot per restored page from a separate state pool. When that pool has too few free slots, alloc_state_cache returns None and the coordinator asserts. This can happen while token capacity remains. At that point the request already holds new KV memory and an advanced cur_kv_len. The exception also skips the dist.barrier call and the release of the matched CPU pages at the end of the function.
Reserve the checkpoint slots before _alloc_req_kv_mem and the cur_kv_len update, and skip the restoration when the reservation fails. Otherwise, on a None result, free the new KV memory, restore cur_kv_len, and recompute the unmatched prefix. The failure path must still release the CPU pages and reach the barrier.

统一 full/hybrid attention 的前缀匹配、状态恢复、checkpoint 发布与释放，由 CacheCoordinator 持有 checkpoint 池，state manager 管理运行态，存储层提供 transfer view 和 IPC 资源。MTP 接受结果统一提交给 state manager，GLM 跨 DP 复制完整 KV/indexer 存储及线性状态；不支持的量化布局在启动时拒绝 DP fetch。
checkpoint 显式记录有效 token 长度，匹配与发布仅使用真实可恢复状态，修复无匹配时的根节点引用泄漏。CPU 页增加有效长度和版本记录；Hybrid 磁盘格式升级为
cache_file_hybrid_state_v1，旧 hybrid 磁盘缓存需要重新预热。m34 实机测试另修复以下数值和运行问题：
回归覆盖592项相关用例（29文件，包含真实CUDA和CPU/socket路径）。其中579项在71cacb611通过，4项因只读autotune缓存未执行到数值断言；提供独立可写数据缓存后，这4项及684a873c6新增3项通过，f221另新增6项调用测试通过。此为逐提交组合覆盖，不是一次最新HEAD全仓库套件。本次完整提交的全部86个变更Python另行通过固定Black21.12b0、Flake8和diff检查。
m34 8×H200，统一GSM8K 200题/5-shot/并发8/T=0/top-k=1/max-new1024，Invalid均0：
Qwen 实际验证 CPU/磁盘分别恢复768-token前缀、跨DP复用2304-token前缀、212组PD KV/attention-state传输、取消恢复和引用归零。固定跨配置探针一致，GSM全文不全相同。Qwen保留原测试提交归属，未冒充本次GLM修复提交重跑。
前序DeepSeek回归使用固定b83镜像与独立只读Transformers4.57.1/Hub0.36.2兼容层，native tokenizer IDs及解码已验证；旧TF5.8错误tokenizer轮不计精度。TP8与DP8各197题正确，但各有1题独对，198个答案相同。两组独立42/43源cold→hot→DP1双目标控制，各复制4608 tokens，8个首答案正确、6/6完整32-token比较一致。原64-token行为与冷重复仍有差异，不宣称bit-exact；长启动/生成停顿原因未定，不作性能结论。V3.2原生MTP及IndexedMLA CPU/磁盘路径未支持，未冒用替代模型。
GLM 的真实张量对照定位到第二 chunk 第2层 FFN 归约：四 rank 输入相同，但 multimem 在不同 GPU 组得到不同 BF16 舍入值，随后传播到输出。真实输入重放证明只把 multimem buffer 加宽仍有偏差；NCCL FP32 与 FP64 参考舍入一致。原767-ID续写分歧也在完整模型中复测。
长上下文还有独立的索引问题：原Top-K在固定输入上重复选择不同的等分候选或顺序。新增三项测试修复前全失败，最终提交的172项GLM相关测试全通过，覆盖相邻浮点值、正负零、无效区NaN、padded stride、CUDA Graph、百万token池、prefill/decode/MTP索引一致性；全部2010个实测源码文件与d0145d19b逐文件SHA一致。
最终提交的DP2+MTP1通过45次原始42/43严格格式断言，含15次目标请求、每次四rank实际复制4096tokens。42的10次冷请求、43的5次冷请求，各自token和logprob完全一致；未放宽原断言，也保留仅归约修复时第9次冷请求返回
42</think>42的失败证据。CPU+MTP1另验证两组真实512-token CPU恢复，MTP2四组原始冷热42/43断言通过，MTP接受与引用归零均由实际日志和共享内存核验。CPU配置的通用行为脚本仍保留原exit2：请求级GPU缓存禁用标志不会关闭CPU缓存，日志证实三条相应请求GPU0/CPU4096/磁盘0；14条HTTP均成功且输出一致，真实CPU恢复用独立压力控制核验，未把它冒充完全无缓存基线。
最终提交另与安全参考进行两轮TP4/MTP0、关闭缓存的200题对照，交换GPU组：HEAD为191/200、188/200，参考均187/200，Invalid均0。两侧实际请求body逐一相同、原始响应独立重评分一致，原1.5个百分点落后未复现。安全参考为b799加一行HOLD整页分配修复及完全相同的两项数值修复，保留原状态管理API，不是原样main。原767-ID控制在两轮两侧均精确得到相同53tokens、文本和logprob，答案163。两轮仍是相同200题，不是400个独立问题，不据此宣称普遍精度等价。
不承诺跨批次的完整续写逐token一致：新增缓存开关与客户端并发1/4的控制，关闭全部缓存时并发续写也可不同，严格首答案均正确；单请求冷热完整续写一致，原始差异和实际调度日志保留。实际batch调度未强制一致。HEAD和安全参考两轮均出现相同模式：单请求冷热完整64-token续写一致，无缓存并发请求仍有两种续写。额外5组各20次控制的100个严格首答案均为43。此现象不是本分支缓存改动独有。
本轮7个完成回归的GLM服务均实际引用归零、退出0、非OOM、HTTP等待未超时，退服7.94–10.08秒。所有本任务模型及utility容器已移除；最终八卡compute为空，51个已记录UUID无POSIX残留，4个已记录SysV key不存在。模型、编译缓存和完整原始证据保留，未知归属信号量未删除。准备阶段取消的错误基线为零HTTP，单独归档且不计有效对照。
基于main b799a58，当前提交d0145d19b。Hybrid磁盘格式兼容、head padding及确定性Top-K的临时内存/计算开销需关注；FP32归约buffer字节量翻倍。已记录Top-K隔离eager微测，未据此推导整模型吞吐；旧预览版GLM持久状态应重新预热。跨机PD/NIXL、生产容量及完整GSM8K未验收；CPU/GPU/PD布局统一输入和显式线性状态IPC payload留待后续。不依赖#1585/#1593，不包含DeepSeek V4、ReplaySSM、SWA窗口回收或HTML。
