Description

Ports v1's prefix-aware skip (beneficialToSkip, capacityScheduler.cpp:92) to KVCacheV2Scheduler.

The story. Two requests show up with the same prompt prefix, and nothing in the cache covers it yet. Today v2 admits both in the same iteration, so both compute that prefix from scratch — the second one has nothing to reuse, because the first has not committed a block yet. The skip admits one of them and defers the other by a single iteration. Next iteration the block is in the tree and the deferred request reads it instead of recomputing it. The target is prefill FLOPs / TTFT, not KV memory — allow_seq_rebasing already dedupes the pages.

Currently there is a fix under #18202 for the v1 scheduler to fix request admission after rejecting duplicating requests that are potential candidates of "beneficial to skip". The implementation for the v2 scheduler here already covers the case.

Outcome. With three duplicates sharing one uncached first block, before this change all three are admitted and all three recompute the prefix. After it, one is admitted; the other two go in on the next iteration and read the block.

Worked example

From test_deferred_request_admitted_next_iteration (tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py:2846).

Setup. max_num_tokens=10000. Two context requests of 500 tokens each, whose probe returns the same first new block key blockA.

request 0 request 1 scheduled
Before the fix probe blockA probe blockA [0, 1] — both recompute the prefix
After, iteration 1 admitted, registers blockA probe blockA collides → deferred [0]
After, iteration 2 in flight, no longer a first chunk probe is now blockB — the prefix came from cache [1]

And the fallacy, same setup with request 0's resize_context failing after the check: the scheduled set is [1], not []. The duplicate is not stranded behind a contributor that did not run (test_contributor_failure_does_not_defer_duplicate:2963).

Test Coverage

test_three_duplicates_admit_one (tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py:2869) pins the outcome above: three duplicates in, one scheduled. test_deferred_request_admitted_next_iteration (:2846) is the most expressive of the added tests — the same collision, plus the deferral being repaid on the next iteration once the block is in the tree.

The first two rows are a pair. Row 1 stubs the probe (:2855), so row 2 proves the same collision against a live radix tree, reading the keys back out of the KV cache event stream. TestFirstNewBlockProbeVswa (tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_first_new_block_probe.py:204) reruns that contract on a variable-window layout, which v1 does not support.

Walkthrough

The KV-cache manager now exposes a read-only first-new-block probe. The scheduler uses it to defer duplicate context requests under ALL_REUSABLE, while tests validate key parity, reuse scopes, policy gates, and scheduling interactions.

Changes

KV-cache prefix reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
First-new-block probe API
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_first_new_block_probe.py
The cache manager derives scoped first-new-block keys and exposes probe_first_new_block_key. Tests cover preparation parity, key selection, guard conditions, and read-only behavior.
Prefix-aware scheduling
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py
The scheduler probes eligible context requests, defers duplicate contributors, registers successful contributions, and gates the optimization by reuse policy and configuration.
Real cache validation
tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_first_new_block_probe.py
Live KV-cache tests compare probe keys with committed block hashes and cover partial prompts, cached prompts, distinct prefixes, reuse scopes, and variable-window layouts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66e29

The prefix-reuse behavior is broadly covered and appears mergeable, but lint cleanliness, scheduler-side hashing overhead, and the ineffective recompute-pause assertion should remain owner-visible and preferably be addressed before landing.

is_vswa is not read by the scheduler, so this test cannot fail.

make_kv_cache_manager sets mgr.is_vswa, but KVCacheV2Scheduler never reads that attribute. The test asserts the same outcome as test_duplicate_prefix_deferred. It only guards against a future gate that reads exactly is_vswa. Consider asserting the intent directly, for example that _collect_contributed_blocks returns a non-empty set for a VSWA manager, or drop the duplicate case.

Add annotations to all new functions in this test module. The new helpers, stub methods, test methods, and local recording function currently omit parameter or return annotations. Add precise annotations, including -> None for procedures and test methods, to comply with the repository coding guidelines. Also applies to lines 72-117, 120-135, and 138-278.

586-586: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Read block_reuse_policy directly instead of through getattr.

__init__ asserts that kv_cache_manager is a KVCacheManagerV2, and KVCacheManagerV2.__init__ always assigns self.block_reuse_policy. The getattr default therefore never applies, and it would silently disable prefix-aware scheduling if the attribute were ever renamed.

Proposed refactor
-        policy = getattr(self.kv_cache_manager, "block_reuse_policy", None)
-        return policy == BlockReusePolicy.ALL_REUSABLE
+        return self.kv_cache_manager.block_reuse_policy == BlockReusePolicy.ALL_REUSABLE

636-639: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid repeated full-prefix hashing for in-flight continuations. probe_first_new_block_key rebuilds the token sequence and calls probe_reuse; BlockRadixTree._match_token_path hashes each block until a miss, which can be O(prompt_len) when the prefix remains reusable. The pre-pass repeats this for every in-flight continuation on each scheduling iteration. Cache incremental block keys as context_current_position advances, or skip probes when no first-chunk candidate can be deferred.

probe_reuse discards ReuseMatch.blocks (_block_radix_tree.py:803) and returns only num_tokens, so _first_new_block_key re-walks the hash chain from the root even though match() already computed that digest and Block.key carries it. This runs for every pending CONTEXT_INIT request on every iteration -- including chunk continuations, which can only register and never defer -- so could the probe chain off the last matched block's key instead? The comment at line 668 already bounds the cost to the reusable prefix rather than the prompt; this would take it to a single hash.

KVCacheV2Scheduler is only constructed under isinstance(kv_cache_manager, KVCacheManagerV2) (_util.py:3136), and block_reuse_policy is assigned unconditionally in that __init__ and never reassigned -- so this None fallback is unreachable, and its failure mode would be silently disabling the skip rather than raising. Since this predicate and the two enable_* checks in _collect_contributed_blocks are all fixed for the scheduler's lifetime, could they be resolved once into a self._prefix_skip_enabled in __init__ rather than re-running the local import and lookup on every schedule_request?

Note

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

When several first-chunk context requests would contribute the same
not-yet-cached block, admitting them in one iteration makes every one of them
recompute the shared prefix. Admit one, defer the rest by one iteration, and
let them reuse the block it commits. The win is prefill FLOPs / TTFT, not KV
memory -- allow_seq_rebasing already dedupes the pages.

KVCacheManagerV2.probe_first_new_block_key() is the read-only probe the check
needs, composed from probe_reuse() and sequence_to_blockchain_keys(); both are
available on the C++ and pure-Python backends, so this is Python-only.

3111-3111: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Tighten the final assertion so the test can fail.

assert ids(out.context_requests) in ([1], []) accepts both possible outcomes. The docstring states the property under test: a request paused for recompute never seeds the contributed set, so the duplicate must not be deferred behind it. The disjunction does not check that property. The preceding assertion checks a different one, that the duplicate itself was not paused.

Trace the intended outcome: can_evict=False and try_allocate_generation always returns False, so the generation request cannot evict anyone. Request 5 is not in the in-flight set, so it cannot seed the contributed set from the pre-pass. Request 1 also precedes request 5 in the input list. The duplicate should therefore be admitted deterministically.

If the outcome is deterministic, assert the exact list. If it is not, add a comment naming the source of the nondeterminism, because a reader cannot derive it from the current test.

♻️ Proposed fix to pin the expected outcome
         out = sched.schedule_request([make_gen_request(0), duplicate, paused_candidate], set())
         # Whatever happened to the gen request, the duplicate was never deferred
         # on behalf of a request that this iteration paused.
         assert 1 not in ids(out.paused_requests)
-        assert ids(out.context_requests) in ([1], [])
+        assert ids(out.context_requests) == [1]
