Description

Support Router Replay(R3) on TRTLLM.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Adds Router Replay (R3) support for per-token logical MoE expert routes.
  • Integrates route capture with MoE schedulers, CUDA graphs, prefix caching, chunked prefill, and decode overlap.
  • Adds engine-level and request-level configuration flags.
  • Exposes routes through CompletionOutput.routed_experts.
  • Fails closed for unsupported execution modes and fused-routing backends.
  • Adds API stability and configuration-manifest coverage.
  • No test-list files were modified.

QA Engineer Review

  • Adds test_route_capture.py unit coverage for route capture, caching, backend gating, configuration, and completion output behavior.
  • Adds test_return_routed_experts_shape_and_concurrency in tests/unittest/llmapi/test_return_routed_experts.py.
  • The tests are not listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/ or tests/integration/test_lists/qa/.
  • Verdict: insufficient. Add the tests to the appropriate CI or manual-QA test list.

Walkthrough

Adds Router Replay support for separated-routing MoE models. The runtime captures expert routes, reuses prefix-cache routes, assembles request outputs, and exposes engine and sampling configuration. Tests cover capture behavior and concurrent model execution.

Changes

Router Replay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture and cache lifecycle
tensorrt_llm/_torch/route_capture.py
Implements CUDA-compatible route capture, asynchronous host transfer, route assembly, request cleanup, prefix-cache readback, and capability checks.
Runtime capture integration
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/..., tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/fused_moe/moe_scheduler.py
Connects route capture to engine creation, forward execution, MoE scheduler paths, completed requests, and prefix-cache resets.
Configuration and completion output
tensorrt_llm/llmapi/llm_args.py, tensorrt_llm/sampling_params.py, tensorrt_llm/executor/result.py, tensorrt_llm/usage/llm_args_golden_manifest.json, tests/unittest/api_stability/references/*.yaml
Adds engine and request options for routed-expert output and exposes assembled routes through CompletionOutput.routed_experts.
Route capture validation
tests/unittest/_torch/test_route_capture.py, tests/unittest/llmapi/test_return_routed_experts.py
Tests route assembly, prefix caching, backend gating, configuration defaults, output handling, and concurrent MoE execution.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e8405

This change adds per-token MoE routing output, but the current implementation can ignore routing controls, return incorrect or cross-request routing data, and grow host memory during long-running service use. These are high-impact correctness and availability risks, so the PR should not merge until the unresolved issues are fixed and the new test is included in CI.

drain(commit_cb), create(model_engine=...), __init__(model_engine=...), commit(layout: list), prepare(scheduled_batch), attach_routes(request) and _safe_tokens(req) carry no types or use bare list.

Inline comments:
In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/fused_moe/moe_scheduler.py`:
- Line 410: The chunked forward route capture overwrites earlier routes and
captures substituted routes for empty DP chunks. Update
_forward_multiple_chunks/_forward_chunk_impl and RouteCapture.capture to write
each chunk at its cumulative row offset, skip capture when
chunked_used[idx_chunk] is false, and preserve the full-layout ordering consumed
by _finish_forward; add a regression test covering multiple chunks with an empty
DP chunk.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py`:
- Line 456: Move the RouteCapture.create call in PyTorchModelEngine.__init__
below initialization of self.llm_args and self.is_spec_decode, preserving the
guard in RouteCapture.create that validates speculative decoding; alternatively
pass llm_args and the spec-configured state explicitly. Update
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py lines 456-456 and
tensorrt_llm/_torch/route_capture.py lines 178-183 as needed, with the
route_capture site requiring no direct change if ordering fixes the issue.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py`:
- Around line 7689-7690: Update the forward execution flow around
RouteCapture.prepare and RouteCapture.finish_forward so preparation occurs
inside the protected block, and finish_forward runs in a finally block whenever
preparation succeeded, including forward, synchronization, cleanup, and
connector-wait failures. Preserve existing error handling while ensuring failed
execution cannot leave capture state for later requests, and add a regression
test covering failure followed by success with no inherited routes.

In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/route_capture.py`:
- Line 303: Bound the _shared cache in SharedRouteCache by enforcing a fixed
maximum size and evicting the oldest entries when new prompt-position tensors
are added. Update the insertion path used by _readback_prefix while preserving
its existing missing-key retry behavior, and ensure eviction removes the
associated host tensors without affecting correctness.
- Line 102: Update the ring-buffer tensor allocation in the route capture
initializer to pass the repository’s prefer_pinned() result as the pin_memory
value, matching the existing policy used by model_engine.py.
- Around line 283-284: Update the exception handlers around assemble and drain
to record the swallowed failure through the module’s existing logging mechanism,
deduplicated so it is emitted only once per process. Preserve the current
fail-closed behavior and retry semantics, including not freeing the capture
state.

In `@tensorrt_llm/sampling_params.py`:
- Line 338: Propagate SamplingParams.return_routed_experts through the request
and executor OutputConfig so each request independently controls whether routed
experts are returned, instead of relying on the engine-level setting. Preserve
existing behavior for requests that omit the option, and add a mixed-request
test covering enabled and disabled values.

In `@tests/unittest/_torch/test_route_capture.py`:
- Line 16: Add tests/unittest/_torch/test_route_capture.py as an explicit entry
in the CPU CI test list at tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml,
following the existing test-list entry format.

In `@tests/unittest/llmapi/test_return_routed_experts.py`:
- Around line 16-18: Update the module docstring in the Router Replay test so
its summary line is followed by one blank line before the remaining description,
satisfying Ruff D205.
- Line 53: Add test_return_routed_experts_shape_and_concurrency to the
appropriate CBTS-selected test lists, preserving the existing list structure and
naming conventions so this unittest/llmapi test is included in CBTS selection.

Preserve forward order when capturing routes across chunks.

_forward_multiple_chunks calls _forward_chunk_impl for every chunk, but RouteCapture._capture always writes to self._buf[:n] without a chunk offset. Each later chunk therefore overwrites the start of the shared buffer. An empty DP chunk also captures substituted chunk-0 routes, while _finish_forward stages rows for the full layout. Routes can become misaligned with current-forward tokens.

Accumulate routes in forward order or pass a row offset through _forward_chunk_impl. Skip capture for chunked_used[idx_chunk] == False. Add a regression test with multiple chunks and an empty DP chunk.

RouteCapture.create runs before the engine attributes it reads exist. PyTorchModelEngine.__init__ calls create on line 456, but assigns self.llm_args on line 457 and self.is_spec_decode on line 485. Both getattr lookups inside create therefore return their defaults: the engine opt-in enable_return_routed_experts is ignored, and the speculative-decoding fail-closed guard never raises.

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py#L456-L456: move this call below line 485, or pass llm_args and spec_config is not None as explicit arguments.

Complete route capture on every forward exit.

RouteCapture.prepare() runs before the try, but RouteCapture.finish_forward() runs only after a successful forward. If the forward, stream synchronization, cross-KV cleanup, or connector save wait raises, the capture remains unfinished. _handle_errors() can return control to the executor, so a later request can inherit stale capture state.

Move preparation inside the protected block and call RouteCapture.finish_forward() from finally after successful preparation. Add a failure-then-success regression test to verify that the later request has no routes from the failed batch.

Bound the SharedRouteCache.

_shared gains one entry for every distinct prompt position of every request and is only emptied by clear_shared(), which runs from reset_prefix_cache. A long-running server never calls that hook, so the dict grows with the total number of distinct prompt tokens served. Each entry also keeps an [L, K] host tensor alive after free(rid) releases the owning request.

Add a size cap with eviction. _readback_prefix already handles a missing key by retrying and filling only what exists, so eviction degrades reuse instead of breaking correctness.

🔧 Sketch: cap the cache with FIFO eviction
-        self._shared: Dict[int, torch.Tensor] = {}
+        # Bounded to keep host memory flat in steady-state serving; an evicted

Make return_routed_experts control the request output.

This field is not propagated to the executor OutputConfig or request. The current engine-level option returns routes for every request, so return_routed_experts=True and False have the same result. Plumb this field through the request output configuration, or remove the public option until that path exists. Add a mixed-request test with one enabled and one disabled request.

Add this CPU test file to the CI test list.

Test coverage summary: added test_assemble_contract_drops_final_position, test_assemble_none_when_empty, test_assemble_fail_closed_on_internal_gap, test_prefix_hashes_deterministic_across_requests, test_prefix_store_and_readback_roundtrip, test_assert_capturable_gates_on_separated_routing, test_sampling_params_return_routed_experts_flag, test_llm_args_enable_flag_present_and_defaults_false, and test_completion_output_routed_experts_property.

Add an explicit entry for tests/unittest/_torch/test_route_capture.py to tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml. The CI coverage verdict is insufficient until that entry exists.

As per path instructions, changed test code must be checked against CI and QA test lists. Based on learnings, each new top-level tests/unittest/_torch/test_*.py file requires an explicit CI list entry.

Add test_return_routed_experts_shape_and_concurrency to the CBTS-selected test lists.

Test coverage summary: The test covers route presence, output shape and dtype, sentinel bounds, and concurrent requests. No matching entry exists in the checked test-db/ or qa/ files. unittest/llmapi tests are included in these lists, so the test path does not exempt it. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because the CBTS mapping is unavailable.

Commit a host-ring slot before reusing it.

A completed D2H can still be present in _pending. If the ring wraps, this code overwrites that slot before drain() commits its saved layout. commit() can then store routes from a later forward under an earlier request layout. This returns incorrect routed_experts.

Drain completed entries before slot reuse. If prev requires synchronization, drain it again immediately after the wait and before copy_().

Proposed fix
-    def stage(self, buf: torch.Tensor, n: int, layout: list) -> None:
+    def stage(self, buf: torch.Tensor, n: int, layout: list, commit_cb) -> None:
+        self.drain(commit_cb)
         ...
         prev = self._done[slot]
         if prev is not None and not prev.query():
             prev.synchronize()
+            self.drain(commit_cb)
         ...
-                self._copier.stage(self._buf, len(self._layout), self._layout)

Release completed request IDs from _attached.

RouteCapture is process-wide. Each successful attachment adds rid to _attached, but free(rid) does not remove it. The set grows once per completed request for the process lifetime. A reused request ID also skips route attachment.

Discard the ID in free(). A later repeat for the same completed request cannot append duplicates because its _store entry is already removed.

Proposed fix
 def free(self, req_id: int) -> None:
     self._store.pop(req_id, None)
+    self._attached.discard(req_id)
     self._gen_count.pop(req_id, None)
