为 GDN 和 GLM-5.3-FLASH KDA 增加可选的 compact / replay SSM 状态存储,减少 MTP 的逐 token 状态快照,默认保持 native。支持普通 decode、固定/动态 MTP、checkpoint、CPU cache 和 PD 恢复。

ConvSSMState 统一 GDN/KDA 的状态生命周期和传输,各模式独立管理计算与接受提交。SSMForward 保存执行索引和内核配置,StateCommit 将 compact 的提交配置绑定到产生它的 forward 和 microbatch;CUDA Graph 显式复制元数据并隔离预热配置。保留 GDN conv+pack 和 BF16 MTP 的 parallel/derived Replay 路径;native/compact 逐 token 舍入,replay 按历史折叠舍入。

GDN 普通/MTP decode 全程使用逻辑执行层号选择 Conv/SSM 状态,避免 SenseNova Loop 共享物理权重时串层。从 decode_att() 入口覆盖对齐 Loop、非对齐 Loop 和无 Loop 对照:修复前 4 个 CPU 用例失败,修复后 6 个 CPU 用例及 6 个真实 GPU prefill→decode 用例通过。另补上 checkpoint 测试独立运行所需的启动参数 fixture。

基于 upstream/main 269ab62d0 的本地验证:

  • CPU 选定回归:812 passed、2469 skipped、14 deselected;排除依赖 FlashMLA 的集成测试。固定版本 Black、Flake8、Python AST 和 diff 检查通过。
  • H200,PyTorch 2.9.1 / Triton 3.5.1:选定 SSM 数值、部分接受、动态 MTP、grouped heads、跨轮 folding、checkpoint、槽位复用及 CUDA Graph 用例共 393 项通过(含初始化 fixture 修正后重跑的 4 项)。另执行 Loop、页池/PD 恢复和交替图桶提交配置回归:77 passed、1 skipped;跳过项依赖 DeepGEMM mHC。这些包含 CPU contract 用例,不代表完整模型服务验收。
  • 原有 test_mtp_fused_recurrent_equiv.py 的 7 项 native MTP 逐位等价断言在独立 upstream/main base 和当前代码上均失败,输出最大绝对差均为 0.000488–0.000977。两个 kernel 和该测试与 base 逐字一致,保留原断言;GPU 回归并非全绿。

未执行全量 autotune 候选及大跨度索引矩阵、完整模型服务、服务级 microbatch overlap、吞吐/延迟/显存对比或 GSM8K。上述 GPU 数值与状态验证不能替代这些验收。

Walkthrough

This pull request adds Native, Compact, and Replay SSM state modes for GDN and KDA. It integrates state preparation, recurrent execution, MTP commit receipts, checkpoint transfer, startup validation, autotuning, benchmarks, and tests. It also adjusts several model execution paths.

Changes: SSM state modes and MTP integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared Conv/SSM state resources
lightllm/common/attention_state/bounded_att/*, lightllm/common/attention_state/commit.py, lightllm/common/ssm_types.py
Shared resources allocate Native, Compact, or Replay state and manage accepted-state access, reset, page operations, and CPU, DP, PD, and tensor-parallel transfers.
SSM execution, replay, and tuning
lightllm/common/attention_state/bounded_att/ssm/*, lightllm/common/basemodel/triton_kernel/linear_att/*, lightllm/common/triton_utils/autotuner.py
Native dispatches recurrent kernels. Compact records verification inputs for accepted-prefix replay. Replay stores and folds request history and materializes accepted state. Autotuning resolves run configurations and records CUDA out-of-memory tuning failures.
Linear attention integration
lightllm/common/basemodel/attention/linear/*, lightllm/common/basemodel/cuda_graph.py, lightllm/common/attention_state/bounded_att/ssm/forward.py
GDN and KDA use shared prefill and decode wrappers. Per-layer forward objects provide state indices and recurrent metadata. Warmup and CUDA Graph paths copy these objects.
MTP receipt validation and commits
lightllm/common/attention_state/manager.py, lightllm/common/attention_state/commit.py, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/*, lightllm/common/basemodel/*
Model outputs publish state commits. MTP verification passes request-partition batches in a context. The state manager validates the context before applying commits.
SSM configuration and model wiring
lightllm/server/api_cli.py, lightllm/server/api_start.py, lightllm/server/core/objs/start_args_type.py, lightllm/models/glm5_next/*, lightllm/models/qwen3next/model.py
CLI and startup arguments select SSM modes and replay settings. Startup applies defaults and validates mode, model, dtype, MTP, capacity, and replay constraints.
Benchmarks and validation
test/benchmark/kernels/*, unit_tests/**/*
Benchmarks cover KDA state cycles and streamed ReplaySSM service requests. Tests cover state contracts, replay execution, CUDA Graph behavior, transfers, startup validation, and model integration.

Additional model execution adjustments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model execution and cache paths
lightllm/models/glm5_next/indexer.py, lightllm/models/llama/layer_infer/post_layer_infer.py, lightllm/models/qwen3next/layer_infer/transformer_layer_infer.py, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/infer_batch.py
GLM5 clamps zero pool lengths for scheduling metadata and logits. Llama adds a single-rank CUDA BF16 logits path. Qwen3Next passes the original strided tensor to linear_norm. Hybrid-state saving returns when the radix cache is absent.

Reject parallel replay for KDA models during startup.

GLM5 uses create_kda_state, which passes kda=True to ReplaySSMState. Parallel replay asserts not kda, but startup accepts GLM5 as a valid GDN/KDA model without a parallel-mode restriction. A KDA configuration can therefore pass startup validation and fail later during state construction.

Add a GDN-only check for compute_mode="parallel" after computing the model type.

Proposed fix
-    is_gdn_or_kda = get_model_type(args.model_dir) in (
+    model_type = get_model_type(args.model_dir)
+    is_gdn_or_kda = model_type in (
         "glm5_next",
         "glm5_next_text",
@@
     assert is_gdn_or_kda, "Non-native SSM state modes currently require a GDN or KDA model"
+    assert config.get("compute_mode") != "parallel" or model_type not in (
+        "glm5_next",
+        "glm5_next_text",
+    ), "Parallel ReplaySSM requires a GDN model; KDA is not supported"

Add a test case for glm5_next with compute_mode="parallel".

Review comment at @lightllm/server/api_start.py around lines 68 - 70:
Update the startup validation for config["compute_mode"] so parallel mode is
rejected for KDA models, including GLM5, before ReplaySSM state construction;
keep parallel mode available for supported GDN models. Use the model type
already determined by get_model_type to distinguish KDA from GDN, and add
coverage for GLM5 with parallel mode.
