Summary

Pin flashinfer-python 0.6.18 -> 0.7.2 in requirements.txt, security_scanning/pyproject.toml and ATTRIBUTIONS-Python.md; nvidia-cudnn-frontend moves to 1.31 to match (see Open).

Why. Main's vendored tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/prims_ts tree (yuxianq's branch at aa709061, promoted in #21006) launches the QToken-KvBlock-Sparse attention through a metadata kernel that lives in the FlashInfer wheel (flashinfer.jit.gen_prims_ts_q_token_kv_block_sparse_metadata_module). 0.6.18 does not ship that module, so today the QSA sparse core in #20714 cannot run and falls back to Triton. 0.7.2 is the first release that ships it.

Compat hunks. The vendored Python tree already contains FlashInfer PR flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#5351 (the optimized attention kernel), but the metadata kernel in the 0.7.2 wheel predates it. The vendor patch therefore adds three hunks to q_token_kv_block_sparse_metadata.py so the new Python tree drives the old metadata kernel: the 13-argument launch (no locator_head_multiplier), allow_head_aware_locators=False, and query_major_memberships=False. They go away when the pin moves to a release that ships flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#5351's csrc.

cuDNN ragged prefill. flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#5133 (in 0.7.2) made the cudnn prefill backend take token-unit qo_indptr/kv_indptr like every other backend and reject element-unit offsets. The no-KV-cache ragged path in backends/flashinfer.py (Qwen3VL vision encoder) no longer scales them by heads x head_dim; this was the L0 failure in test_qwen3_vision_cuda_graph_replay_matches_eager[*-FLASHINFER].

top-k on beam search. 0.7.2 added CUB's batched top-k to flashinfer's topk JIT module; a cold build takes ~10 min (584 s on B300). Built lazily on the first beam step it tripped the 300 s hang detector (BART/T5 beam-2 tests); built synchronously in warmup it pushed startup past the disaggregated launchers' 300 s ready timeout. Now warmup loads the module when it is already on disk and _beam_topk uses flashinfer's radix kernel; on a cold cache it builds on a daemon thread and that process stays on torch.topk (~50-100 us more per call at a 152k vocab), so the next start picks up the cached kernels.

Cost of the 0.7.2 metadata csrc

Per-kernel GPU µs, TP2 32K, prims_ts_sparse_gqa from #20714. "main" = nightly wheel with flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#5351's csrc.

Case B300: 0.7.2 / this PR / main Rubin: 0.7.2 / this PR / main
prefill 4096 BF16 attention 214.5 / 157.8 / 160.3 116.6 / 95.2 / 99.9
prefill 4096 BF16 metadata 39.2 / 39.3 / 21.2 37.3 / 37.4 / 20.4
prefill 4096 FP8 attention 191.9 / 113.9 / 112.1 131.4 / 70.3 / 73.4
prefill 4096 FP8 metadata 43.8 / 41.4 / 21.7 44.7 / 39.0 / 21.1
decode BS64 SQ4 FP8 attention 56.1 / 46.9 / 46.2 47.5 / 40.4 / 39.8

The vendored kernel carries the attention gain; only the metadata kernel (~17-20 µs per prefill call) waits for a release with flashinfer-ai/flashinfer#5351's csrc.

  • nvidia-cudnn-frontend moved >=1.27.0,<1.28 -> >=1.31.0,<1.32: 0.7.2 requires >=1.31.0 and pip resolution failed in L0 with the old cap. Its only user is the visual-gen cuDNN attention backend; test_attention_cudnn.py gives identical results on 1.27.0 and 1.31.0.
  • security_scanning/poetry.lock not regenerated.

Test plan (0.7.2 + this branch's vendored tree)

  • B300: QSA core + indexer 64, block-sparse + attention backend 113, dense FMHA + registry + importable + maintain 337
  • B300: test_flashinfer_attention.py 23 (cuDNN no-KV ragged plan + forward) and Qwen3VL vision unit tests with the token-unit qo_indptr fix
  • Rubin SM107: QSA core + indexer 64, dense FMHA + registry 337 (attention-backend suite self-skips on SM107)

Dev Engineer Review

The supplied change summary reports an upgrade to flashinfer-python 0.7.2 and nvidia-cudnn-frontend >=1.31.0,<1.32. It also reports changes to PrimTS cache and sparse MLA behavior, QToken-KvBlock-Sparse metadata compatibility, and cuDNN ragged no-KV offset handling.

The decoder warmup now prebuilds FlashInfer top-k when beam width exceeds one. The warmup is best-effort and logs a warning if prebuilding fails. The PR context reports higher prefill metadata latency with the 0.7.2 wheel than with the nightly wheel. It also reports three failed L0 pipelines but provides no failure details. The security scanning lockfile was not regenerated. Current review-finding counts are unavailable. The shell result contained no diff, so the reported implementation details could not be independently verified.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • 3rdparty/vendor_patches/flashinfer-prims-ts.patch: Verify cache-probe and precompile behavior, placeholder handling, sparse MLA cache eligibility and invalidation, and metadata compatibility with the installed FlashInfer kernels.
  • 3rdparty/vendor_sources.lock.yaml: Verify that the updated digests match the vendored source and patch.
  • ATTRIBUTIONS-Python.md: Verify that the recorded FlashInfer version matches the dependency.
  • requirements.txt: Verify dependency resolution and compatibility with the FlashInfer and cuDNN frontend constraints.
  • security_scanning/pyproject.toml: Verify security-scanning dependency resolution with FlashInfer 0.7.2.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/flashinfer.py: Verify that the cuDNN ragged no-KV path uses token-unit offsets and that other backends remain unaffected.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/warmup.py: Verify that scheduled warmup invokes top-k prebuilding only when max_beam_width > 1.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/ops/flashinfer.py: Verify the guarded import, best-effort top-k prebuild, and lazy-build fallback when prebuilding fails.

The vendored prims_ts tree (aa709061, promoted in NVIDIA#21006) calls the
QToken-KvBlock-Sparse metadata JIT module, which 0.6.18 does not ship;
0.7.2 is the first release that does. Its csrc predates FlashInfer NVIDIA#5351,
so the vendor patch gains three compatibility hunks: a 13-argument
metadata launch, head-aware locators disabled, and page-byte membership
masks for every profile. Drop them once the pin moves past NVIDIA#5351.

Walkthrough

The changes update FlashInfer and cuDNN dependency requirements, adjust cuDNN indptr handling and PrimTS metadata settings, and add scheduled top-k module warmup. Vendor source digests and the FlashInfer attribution version also change.

Changes

FlashInfer update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update dependency versions
requirements.txt, security_scanning/pyproject.toml, ATTRIBUTIONS-Python.md
The flashinfer-python requirements and attribution change from version 0.6.18 to 0.7.2. The nvidia-cudnn-frontend requirement changes from >=1.27.0,<1.28 to >=1.31.0,<1.32.
Adjust attention backend and PrimTS metadata
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/flashinfer.py, 3rdparty/vendor_patches/flashinfer-prims-ts.patch, 3rdparty/vendor_sources.lock.yaml
The ragged no-KV path passes token-offset indptrs to cuDNN without multiplying them by head counts and head dimension. PrimTS metadata calls omit locator_head_multiplier; query-major memberships and head-aware locators are disabled. The vendor patch index hash and source digests change.
Add scheduled top-k warmup
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/ops/flashinfer.py, tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/engine/runners/decoder/warmup.py
When max_beam_width > 1, scheduled decoder warmup calls warmup_topk_module(). The function returns when FlashInfer is unavailable and logs a warning if module prebuilding fails.

PR effort5 points — The visible behavioral changes fix compatibility with the released metadata module. Review requires tracing launch signatures, workspace encoding, and attention-consumer agreement across packed/unpacked and grouped paths. Mirrored vendor hunks and digest updates add little independent effort.

…n 0.7.2

flashinfer-python 0.7.2 requires nvidia-cudnn-frontend>=1.31.0, which the
<1.28 cap from NVIDIA#18075 rejected, so pip resolution failed in CI. The cuDNN
visual-gen attention tests give the same results on 1.27.0 and 1.31.0.

…dule is built

The synchronous topk prewarm moved the ~10 minute cold build from the
first beam step into warmup, which pushed startup past the disaggregated
launchers' 300 s ready timeout in L0 (test_disaggregated_beam_search_v2).
Decide once per process whether flashinfer's topk module is already on
disk: if so load it in warmup and let _beam_topk use the radix kernel; if
not, build it on a daemon thread and keep this process on torch.topk, so
the next start picks up the cached kernels. torch.topk costs ~50-100 us
more per call at a 152k vocabulary (B300); the two kernels differ only in
the order of equal values, which torch.topk leaves unspecified anyway.
