Dev Engineer Review

  • Added KV-cache hit attribution for GPU, host, disk, remote, and unknown tiers.
  • Preserved the aggregate cached-token metric.
  • Propagated tier data through KVCache, LlmRequest, and GenerationResultBase.
  • Added bounded and deterministic tier allocation.
  • Integrated attribution with attention lifecycles, stale ranges, partial blocks, and disaggregated serving.
  • Documented counter monotonicity, reset behavior, storage tiers, unknown-tier handling, and cache-manager compatibility.
  • No configuration or test-list files changed.
  • Review focus: verify lifecycle attribution, metric consistency, API compatibility, and fallback behavior.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py.
  • Added test_setup_for_reuse_mixed_tiers_single_lifecycle().
  • Added test_setup_for_reuse_multi_lifecycle_with_residue().
  • Added test_setup_for_reuse_sliding_window_stale_range().
  • Updated metric tests for:
    • Single-tier and multi-tier attribution.
    • GPU, host, disk, remote, and unknown tiers.
    • Clamping and aggregate-total validation.
    • Missing tier breakdowns and preinitialized series.
    • Monotonic counter accumulation.
    • Partial blocks, stale ranges, and lifecycle residue.
  • No corresponding tests/integration/test_lists/, test-db/, or qa/ entries were added.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up because test-list coverage data is unavailable.

Fixes #18465

Description

  • Issue: prompt_cached_tokens_total only tracks aggregate KV-cache hits. When offloading is enabled, operators cannot determine whether reused tokens were served from GPU, host, disk, or remote tiers.
  • Solution:
    • Legacy aggregate counter: trtllm_prompt_cached_tokens_total (retained for backward compatibility).
    • Storage tier breakdown: trtllm_prompt_cache_tier_tokens_total{cache_tier="..."} with labels gpu, host, disk, and remote.
    • Attribute reused tokens by storage tier in KVCache and propagate through LlmRequest / GenerationResultBase.
    • Bound per-tier allocations so tier totals never exceed the aggregate count; attribute unpartitioned hits to gpu by default and disaggregated context transfers to remote.
    • Pre-initialize all standard tier series to 0.0 at startup; tier totals sum to the aggregate cached token count.
    • Documented counter monotonicity, reset semantics, and storage tiers in docs/source/features/kvcache.md.

Test Coverage

  • Added unit tests in tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py (TestPromptCacheMetrics) covering:
    • Single-tier hit attribution (host, disk, remote)
    • Multi-tier hit attribution and sum-to-total validation
    • Dictionary input and unpartitioned fallback to gpu
    • Aggregate clamping for counts exceeding aggregate total
    • Tier series pre-initialization (0.0)
    • Disaggregated remote fallback and ctx_usage tier recovery
  • Ran pytest tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py (99 passed).

PR Checklist

  • PR description clearly explains what and why.
  • PR follows TRT-LLM CODING GUIDELINES.
  • Test cases are provided for new code paths.
  • API compatibility maintained.

Attribute reused prompt tokens to their respective KV-cache storage tiers
(gpu, host, disk, remote) via the Prometheus counter
trtllm_prompt_cached_tokens_total{cache_tier="..."}.

- Partition cached tokens across tiers in KVCache and LlmRequest
- Pre-initialize counter tier series to 0.0 upon collector initialization
- Attribute unpartitioned tokens to gpu by default for backward compatibility
- Attribute disaggregated transferred context cache hits to remote
- Add unit tests validating single-tier, multi-tier, sum-to-total, and pre-initialization

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

KV-cache reuse now records storage-tier token counts and propagates them through executor responses, generation results, and Prometheus metrics. Aggregate prompt-cache metrics remain available, and an unknown tier handles unaccounted metric values.

Tiered KV-cache metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache-tier reuse attribution
tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/_core/_kv_cache.py, tests/unittest/kv_cache_manager_v2_tests/test_kv_cache_tier_attribution.py
Reuse accounting attributes matched tokens across GPU, host, and disk tiers. Tests cover multiple lifecycles, partial blocks, and sliding-window ranges.
Request cache metadata propagation
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/kv_cache_manager_v2.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/model_engine.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
Requests store tiered cached-token counts. KV-cache preparation, warmup restoration, and executor response paths preserve this metadata.
Result and metric collection
tensorrt_llm/executor/result.py, tensorrt_llm/metrics/enums.py, tensorrt_llm/metrics/collector.py
Generation results capture runtime tier data. The collector records aggregate and tier-specific counters, initializes tier series, clamps overages, and assigns unaccounted tokens to unknown.
Metric validation and display
tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py, docs/source/features/kvcache.md, examples/serve/prometheus_metrics.py
Tests validate tier attribution and metric conservation. Documentation and the serving example describe aggregate and tiered metrics.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 88581

The PR adds storage-tier cache-hit metrics, but the current implementation can publish tier data without the legacy aggregate on a primary local reuse path, causing both metrics to under-report or remain zero; some response and sliding-window paths may also report incomplete or incorrect tier attribution. Merge should wait for these telemetry correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

- Around line 644-651: Update the cached-token tier loop around
cached_tokens_by_tier so tier counters are emitted only while accounted_tokens

Aggregate the actual cache tier for each reused attention page.

BlockRadixTree._prune_match() checks page coverage but does not require equal cache_level values. StorageManager._batched_migrate() updates each page independently. Therefore, this loop can attribute all reused tokens to the first AttnLifeCycle page’s tier instead of the actual tiers.

Exercise the ctx_usage recovery path.

test_cached_tokens_ctx_usage_tier_recovery() injects PROMPT_CACHE_CACHED_TOKENS_BY_TIER directly into MetricsCollector. It does not create a ctx_usage payload or invoke the result-to-metrics conversion path. A broken recovery step will pass this test.

Add a focused result or integration test that carries ctx_usage through to MetricsCollector. Otherwise, rename this test to describe direct tier-map collection.

1229-1234: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise the production recovery path.

test_cached_tokens_ctx_usage_recovery_path only projects ctx_usage with local dict.get() calls. Drive GenerationResultBase._handle_response() and record_stats() so the test validates the production recovery path before sending metrics to MetricsCollector.

Test coverage summary

  • Modified: test_cached_tokens_direct_tier_mapping validates direct tier-map collection.
  • Added: test_cached_tokens_ctx_usage_recovery_path does not cover production conversion.
  • CI registration: tests/unittest/metrics/test_collector.py is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml.
  • QA registration: not required; QA lists are maintained independently.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because no CBTS coverage report was supplied.

The feature is wired only through KVCacheManagerV2. KVCacheManager (v1) is still the default (_util.py:103 — V2 requires use_kv_cache_manager_v2=True or a model that forces it) and it supports host offloading via host_cache_size. On that path cached_tokens_by_tier is never populated, so the collector's remainder rule attributes 100% of hits to gpu — the exact question #18465 asks about ("were these tokens served from host?") gets a confidently wrong answer on the default configuration. Either populate the breakdown for v1 too, or emit no tier series when the breakdown is unavailable and say so in docs/source/features/kvcache.md; the doc currently states the invariant "every cache hit is attributed to exactly one tier" without qualification.

Second: the remote tier is never produced by any real code path. The only writer is the fallback in [result.py:613](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM/pull/18519/files#diff-2f39627ddca7ff895a4c38c9df530b8b6d3554196a925663bb449356ef22a6d8R613), and the branch above it that would read a ctx-side breakdown is dead — RxSession builds ctx_usage["prompt_tokens_details"] with only cached_tokens (_torch/disaggregation/native/transfer.py:2262), and PromptTokensDetails (serve/openai_protocol.py:157) has no such field. To make remote meaningful the ctx worker's breakdown has to be carried in that aux payload.

Description gaps: it doesn't mention that req.cached_tokens is now assigned in kv_cache_manager_v2._prepare_context_impl, or that _handle_first_token_response now attaches cached_tokens/ctx_usage. Both change existing (non-tier) behavior and deserve a line each.

Tests are collector-only. There's no test that a v2 reuse hit off host memory actually produces {"host": n}_setup_for_reuse's per-page attribution is the part most likely to be wrong, and it's entirely uncovered.

Addressed the review comments in 536e5dcb0a:

  • collector.py: Don't emit tier series when no breakdown is provided (avoids false 100% GPU hits on v1 cache manager), attribute leftovers to unknown, clamp deterministically in fixed order, and cleaned up dead code.
  • result.py: Removed the fake remote fallback and dead ctx_usage parsing.
  • _kv_cache.py: Folded tier attribution directly into the attention lifecycle loop in _setup_for_reuse to respect stale ranges, and handled multi-lifecycle residue.
  • kv_cache_manager_v2.py / llm_request.py / model_engine.py: Reverted premature cached_tokens assignment, latched cached_tokens_by_tier, protected enc-dec graph capture state, and replaced getattr with direct property access.
  • Added unit tests for _setup_for_reuse covering mixed tiers, partial blocks, multi-lifecycle residue, and SWA stale ranges (test_kv_cache_tier_attribution.py), and updated collector tests.
  • Clarified manager requirements and unknown tier semantics in kvcache.md.

2161-2216: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Sliding-window "stale" blocks are silently attributed to GPU instead of their real tier.

The active-block loop iterates chain(typed_range(stale_start), typed_range(stale_end, len(matched))). For an SWA life cycle, this deliberately skips the stale (out-of-window, non-sink) block range. The tier tally at Line 2172-2188 runs only inside this loop, so any matched block whose page sits in the stale range never contributes to gpu/host/disk. Its tokens are then folded into gpu by the residue step at Line 2214-2216, even when the page actually lived on host or disk.

test_setup_for_reuse_sliding_window_stale_range confirms this exact outcome: a host-tier block in the stale range ends up counted as gpu. For SWA models combined with host or disk cache tiers, a real deployment scenario, this systematically under-reports host/disk reuse and over-reports GPU reuse, working against the stated goal of distinguishing host-cache hits from GPU-resident hits.

The tier tally can read matched[ordinal].get_page(lc_idx) for every ordinal (stale or not), independent of whether that ordinal's page holder gets copied into _blocks. Splitting the tier tally into its own pass over the full matched range, separate from the active-page setup loop, would let stale blocks contribute their real tier before residue-reconciliation is applied to any true remainder.

- metrics/collector.py: Do not emit tier breakdown when no breakdown is supplied (e.g. KVCacheManager v1), preventing unpartitioned hits from masquerading as 100% GPU. Attribute breakdown leftovers to cache_tier="unknown", clamp in deterministic fixed order ("gpu", "host", "disk", "remote", "unknown"), pre-initialize "unknown" tier counter, and remove dead .value and dict lookups.
- executor/result.py: Drop artificial remote fallback and dead ctx_usage tier extraction.

- _torch/pyexecutor: Revert premature cached_tokens assignment in kv_cache_manager_v2.py, latch cached_tokens_by_tier in LlmRequest, snapshot/restore cached_tokens_by_tier and its latch in model_engine.py encoder-decoder graph capture, and replace getattr calls with direct property access.
- docs/source/features/kvcache.md: Clarify KVCacheManagerV2 requirement, KVCacheManager v1 behavior, and unknown tier semantics.
- tests: Add unit tests for _setup_for_reuse with mixed page tiers, partial blocks, multiple lifecycles, and SWA stale blocks. Update test_collector.py for unknown tier fallback, no-breakdown silence, and deterministic clamping.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not label unpartitioned reuse as GPU.

If a reuse match has no attention life cycles, the tier tally assigns zero tokens. Line 2222 then labels every reused token as GPU even though no GPU source was observed. This violates the required unknown-tier semantics and produces false GPU cache-hit metrics.

Preserve this amount as unknown, or leave the breakdown incomplete for the downstream metric layer to emit unknown. Add a no-attention-lifecycle regression case.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for unpartitioned reuse and complete the helper annotations. The tests do not exercise the zero-attention-lifecycle path, where _KVCache._setup_for_reuse() assigns residual tokens to gpu; add a regression test that locks down the intended fallback and sum-to-total behavior. Also replace Optional[_MockPage] with _MockPage | None, annotate _MockLifeCycles.items() with ItemsView[LifeCycleId, AttnLifeCycle], and use SimpleNamespace in _create_test_cache(). Test-list registration is not included in this change, so add it if required by CI.

Thanks for your contribution. This will be done by #18583. We should use cache tier rather than hard code gpu, host, disk since we may have different tiers on gpu.

Also this pr lack of reuse block level tier aware metrics and cpp version kvcm side changes. python version of kvcm will be deleted in the near future.
