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.

necessary formatting in this file to match Black’s output, without changing

Black-formatted spacing around the exponentiation operator, so the line remains

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.
