Summary

  • Root cause: BF16TRTLLMGenFusedMoEMethod.process_weights_after_loading rewrites each expert into shuffled BlockMajorK [K/blockK, Mn, blockK], so the per-slot tensors online EPLB registers are 3-D and tripped _tensor_to_weight's assert t.dim() <= 2.
  • Fix: Collapse leading dims via t.flatten(0, dim-2) under an is_contiguous() assert (non-contiguous >2-D still rejected, since one pitch cannot express it), drop the matching rank asserts in HostMoeTensorSharer whose shm sizing/rebuild were already rank-agnostic, and override _prepare_shared_weights_for_finalization to convert the host copies to BlockMajorK — guarded by the same numel()==0 bail-out as the device transform.
  • Original test: pytest "tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch.py::TestDeepSeekV3Lite::test_bfloat16_4gpus_online_eplb[mtp_nextn=2-moe_backend=TRTLLM]" -v

Dev Engineer Review

  • _tensor_to_weight now flattens leading dimensions for contiguous tensors. This supports 3-D BlockMajorK tensors with the existing 2-D cudaMemcpy2D descriptor.
  • Non-contiguous tensors with rank greater than two remain rejected. This prevents invalid weight descriptors.
  • HostMoeTensorSharer no longer applies redundant rank assertions.
  • BF16 TRTLLM-Gen expert weights now use the BlockMajorK layout for device and host staging paths.
  • Empty tensors are skipped during transformation, while the pending state is cleared.
  • The changes prevent corrupted host weights during online EPLB expert migration.
  • No public API declarations changed.
  • The GB200 waiver removal targets the reported DeepSeekV3Lite BF16 4-GPU online EPLB case.

QA Engineer Review

  • Test-list change: removed TestDeepSeekV3Lite::test_bfloat16_4gpus_online_eplb[mtp_nextn=2-moe_backend=TRTLLM] from tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt.
  • No test functions were added, modified, or removed.
  • CBTS coverage data is unavailable. Verdict: needs follow-up.

…online EPLB

BF16TRTLLMGenFusedMoEMethod rewrites each expert into shuffled BlockMajorK
during process_weights_after_loading, so the per-slot tensors online EPLB
registers are 3-D and tripped _tensor_to_weight's 2-D-only assert.

MoeWeight is a (height, width, pitch) cudaMemcpy2D descriptor, and a
contiguous higher-rank tensor occupies exactly the same bytes as its leading
dims collapsed, so describe it that way and keep rejecting non-contiguous
higher-rank tensors that one pitch cannot express.

Also override _prepare_shared_weights_for_finalization: the shared CPU
staging tensors were captured in MajorK while the device slots are now
BlockMajorK, so migrating them unchanged would have silently produced
garbage after the first expert move.

Unwaive the GB200 case this fixes.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The changes support higher-rank host tensors and update BF16 routed and shared expert weight processing to produce shuffled BlockMajorK layouts for online EPLB handling. The related DeepSeek V3 Lite integration waiver is removed.

Changes

MoE weight layout handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Higher-rank tensor descriptors
tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/moe_load_balancer.py
Contiguous tensors with more than two dimensions are flattened into 2D views for MoeWeight descriptors. Host tensor registration and sharing no longer reject higher-rank shapes.
BF16 expert layout transformation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/moe/fused_moe/quantization.py, tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
Routed and shared BF16 expert weights use GPU-side permutation and BlockMajorK conversion. Online EPLB CPU copies receive the same layout. The related GB200 test waiver is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 97b01

The change enables higher-rank expert weights for online load balancing, but it still has concrete runtime risks: work may be allocated on the wrong GPU, and optimized execution may retain an invalid pointer for non-contiguous weights. Shared-weight finalization can also leave startup recovery incomplete after an interruption. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

PyTorch Tensor.flatten documentation returns view or copy when possible

💡 Result:

Yes, the PyTorch documentation explicitly states that torch.flatten may return the original object, a view, or a copy, depending on the input tensor's memory layout [1][2]. Unlike NumPy’s flatten, which consistently returns a copy of the data, PyTorch's implementation prioritizes efficiency by attempting to return a view whenever possible [1][3][2]. The behavior is defined as follows: 1. If no dimensions are flattened, the function returns the original object [1][2]. 2. If the input tensor can be viewed as the requested flattened shape, the function returns a view [1][2]. 3. Only if the input tensor cannot be viewed as the flattened shape (e.g., if the tensor is not contiguous in memory) is the data copied [1][2]. The official documentation advises that user code should not rely on whether torch.flatten returns a view or a new tensor, as it may vary [4][5]. For details on when a view is possible, one should refer to the documentation for torch.Tensor.view [1][2].

Citations:


Reject non-contiguous tensors without assert.

When Python runs with -O, this assert is removed. PyTorch flatten() may copy data when the requested shape cannot be represented as a view. MoeWeight.weight_ptr stores only the raw pointer, so the pointer can become invalid when _tensor_to_weight() returns. Raise ValueError unconditionally.

PyTorch Tensor.cuda device=None documentation current CUDA device

💡 Result:

In PyTorch, when calling Tensor.cuda(device=None), the device parameter defaults to the current CUDA device [1][2][3]. If device is set to None, PyTorch will use the device returned by torch.cuda.current_device() [4]. By default, the current CUDA device is set to the GPU with index 0, but this can be changed programmatically using torch.cuda.set_device(device) [5][4]. If the tensor is already located in CUDA memory on the specified (or default) device, no copy is performed and the original tensor is returned [1][3][6]. Otherwise, the method returns a copy of the tensor in CUDA memory on the target device [1][2].

Citations:


Use the module's CUDA device for each expert transform.

Tensor.cuda() without a device uses the current CUDA device. A non-current module.w3_w1_weight.device therefore causes temporary transforms on the wrong GPU before copying to weights.device, which can create unintended allocations and cross-device copies.
