[None][fix] Fix KVCacheV2Scheduler PEFT adapter ownership leak on suspend/resume (#18407)

[Greninja44]

Summary

Fixes #18407 — KVCacheV2Scheduler retained active PEFT/LoRA adapter ownership after a request's KV cache was suspended, and had no path to re-acquire ownership on resume.

Root cause (two distinct gaps, confirmed against source):

1. _suspend_request() freed KV cache pages (main + draft) but never called into PeftCacheManager, so a suspended request's adapter pages stayed "active" on device and could never be reclaimed by LoraCache::claimPagesWithEvict for a different adapter — the LoraCacheFullException class of failure flagged by an existing TODO in the source.
2. PeftCacheManager.prepare_resources() only calls add_request_peft() for context_batch requests. A suspended generation request resumes entirely inside _try_schedule_generation() and never re-enters context admission, so there was no existing code path at all to re-register PEFT ownership on resume.

Fix (scheduler_v2.py, 2 methods):

• _suspend_request(): calls mark_request_done(req, pause=True), gated on _is_started_request() so a request that was suspended before ever being admitted (and therefore never held PEFT ownership) doesn't register a phantom paused entry that could pin a shared adapter's host-cache slot.
• _try_schedule_generation(): detects the suspended→resumed transition at the one point it's still observable (before try_allocate_generation() mutates state), and calls add_request_peft(req, True) exactly once when a resume succeeds.

Both changes are gated on peft_cache_manager is not None, so non-LoRA deployments are unaffected.

Note: the issue's own proposed two-line fix was directionally correct but incomplete — it didn't account for the resume side having no existing call site at all, or the phantom-registration risk at context-admission suspend sites. Both were caught during investigation and addressed here.

Test plan

Added TestPeftSuspendResume (9 tests) to test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py, using the file's existing mock fixtures/conventions:

• Self/victim eviction pauses PEFT ownership exactly once
• Resume re-registers ownership exactly once (not again on later steady-state iterations)
• Non-LoRA deployments (peft_cache_manager=None) unaffected on both suspend and resume
• Repeated suspend/resume cycles keep PEFT call counts 1:1 with real transitions
• Suspending a never-started context request does not pause PEFT (phantom-registration guard); an already-started one does

Verified against genuine source via a sys.modules-stubbing technique (tensorrt_llm.bindings isn't buildable in this sandbox — no Docker/GPU toolchain):

• 3 throwaway repro tests confirm the bug on unmodified baseline (0 PEFT release/re-acquire calls)
• 9/9 new tests pass against the fix
• Same 9 tests against baseline (fix reverted): 5/9 fail — confirms tests aren't vacuous
• Full test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py (190 tests) against the fix: 188 pass, 2 fail — same 2 fail identically on baseline (pre-existing sandbox/stub artifacts, unrelated to this diff)
• ruff check / ruff format clean on both changed files

No real GPU/compiled-bindings validation was possible in this sandbox — the fix's C++-side semantics (PeftCacheManager::updateTaskState, markRequestDone, addRequestPeft) were traced carefully from source but never exercised through the actual compiled extension. Recommend a maintainer confirm against a real build before merge.

Dev Engineer Review

• Updated KVCacheV2Scheduler to release PEFT ownership when it suspends an admitted request.
• Updated generation resumption to restore PEFT ownership after KV allocation succeeds.
• Guarded both transitions with peft_cache_manager.
• Excluded never-started requests to prevent phantom paused entries.
• Preserved behavior for requests without PEFT/LoRA adapters.
• Added no public API or configuration changes.
• No test-list files were modified.

QA Engineer Review

• Added TestPeftSuspendResume regression coverage for:
  • Self-eviction and victim eviction.
  • Generation resume ownership restoration.
  • Repeated suspend/resume cycles.
  • Missing PEFT manager handling.
  • Requests without a LoRA task ID.
  • Never-started context requests.
  • Already-started context requests.
• No tests/integration/test_lists/, test-db/, or qa/ entries were modified.
• The regression tests are not covered by test-list files.
• Verdict: needs follow-up for CI or manual test-list coverage.

Changes

PEFT suspend and resume lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pause PEFT ownership on suspension tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py	Started requests now call mark_request_done(request, pause=True) when suspended. Tests cover self-eviction, victim eviction, missing PEFT managers, LoRA-free requests, and context request states.
Restore PEFT ownership on resumption tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py, tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py	Previously suspended generation requests call add_request_peft(request, True) after successful allocation. Tests verify single and repeated suspend/resume transitions.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ca267

The change is localized to suspend/resume handling and includes focused tests; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal review and checks.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #18407. Suspension releases PEFT ownership for admitted requests, successful generation resume restores ownership, non-PEFT deployments remain guarded, and never-started requests avoid phantom registrations. Regression tests cover these lifecycle requirements.
