Preserve restore support for older GDN state checkpoints.
If an older checkpoint has an enabled gdn_state_quantizer but no linear_attention metadata, this call leaves backend="fla". After quantizer-state restoration, validate_linear_attention() rejects that checkpoint. Add an explicit legacy policy or migration path before the restored quantizer is validated. The base revision supported enabled GDN state checkpoints without this metadata. (raw.githubusercontent.com) As per path instructions, “Preserve backward compatibility for serialized configs and checkpoints, handling older checkpoints when config changes.”

Source: Path instructions
Adapt native imports, state layouts, recurrent indexing, and KDA gate arithmetic while keeping ModelOpt state QDQ in canonical layout. Use the vllm profile name and retain vllm_0_15 as a legacy alias. Keep lazy gate discovery outside compiled graphs. Validate policy matches across distributed stages and correct the optional dependency message. Verified 94 CPU tests, native GDN/KDA GPU checks on vLLM 0.15.1, 0.20.0, and 0.30.0, ReplaySSM cases, Megatron backward/checkpoint restore, and pre-commit hooks. Full serving-engine and model-quality qualification remain separate. Signed-off-by: Kai Xu <kaix@nvidia.com>
Cache state-layout and kernel-signature checks at first use so Sphinx can import serving adapters with mocked optional dependencies. Preserve runtime dispatch and kernel arithmetic. Validation: focused recursive Sphinx HTML build using repository configuration and warnings as errors; native metadata and CPU state-layout checks on vLLM 0.15.1, 0.20.0, and 0.30.0; scoped pre-commit and git diff --check.

Linear-attention series — 7 PRs (1 merged, 6 open)
mainThe six open PRs form native GitHub stack #2658 in the order shown; #2497 is retained as the merged foundation in this seven-PR series. #2497 is merged, so #2519 targets
main. #2657 contains the training example split from #2519; #2562 now targets #2657. Rebase each remaining descendant after its immediate parent merges.#2541 applies TensorQuantizer before native vLLM prefill/decode calls. Serving-time prefill-GEMM quantization remains deferred until an optimized fused kernel is available. #2506 and #2509 are superseded and closed.
What does this PR do?
Type of change: New feature.
Enable serving-aligned recurrent-state QAT for Megatron-Core GDN and KDA. An explicit per-sequence boundary selects a chunked prefill prefix and a recurrent suffix; suffix gradients flow through the handoff into prefill. TensorQuantizer owns the state format and grouping. One
LinearAttentionConfigselects the native arithmetic and checkpoint schedule.Matching QDQ placement alone did not align training with serving: arithmetic differences crossed quantization thresholds, and ReplaySSM reconstructs its state from BF16 key/update entries. This implementation imports native forward kernels and supplies a differentiable adjoint with straight-through state QDQ.
precision="vllm"uses the installed public vLLM runtime's arithmetic with token state QDQ. Native-kernel checks pass with vLLM 0.15.1, 0.20.0, and 0.30.0. The block32 INT8 recipe selects this profile;vllm_0_15remains an accepted legacy spelling. Use matching training and serving runtimes; the alias does not freeze arithmetic across versions.precision="replayssm"pairs INT8 with Hadamard checkpoints.replay_window=1writes a checkpoint each token; larger windows store BF16 updates and refresh at the window boundary. This profile requires a compatible quantized-ReplaySSM fork with KDA vector-gate support; public vLLM does not provide these interfaces.The training API uses floating QDQ state with autograd history and private native scratch buffers. No vLLM server is required.
gdn_state_qatandkda_state_qatprovide matching GDN/KDA entry points;recurrent_decodeaccepts BF16 inputs and promotes working values to FP32 for replay reconstruction and its adjoint.This PR supports state quantization. GDN W quantization is removed; the merged foundation's disabled
gdn_w_quantizerhandle remains loadable. Earlier unpublished config schemas and unused replay-factor quantizers are removed. The unused local Triton INT8 helper is also removed: ordinary INT8 uses TensorQuantizer, and INT8 + Hadamard uses the imported native ReplaySSM checkpoint kernels.The example and detailed numerical report are in #2657. Descendant rebases remain deferred until their immediate parent merges.
Usage
The companion example in #2657 currently pins vLLM 0.15.1 in
requirements-vllm.txtand provideswith_vllm_defaults.shto set defaults before Python imports. The native adapter also handles the tested newer runtimes. Library code does not duplicate version or environment enforcement.This expects an initialized Megatron model and a scalar suffix loss. Keep the context active through backward when activation recomputation is enabled. Enabling either GDN or KDA state quantization without
backend="serving"fails during conversion.With a compatible ReplaySSM fork, the INT8 + Hadamard recipe defaults to a one-token window. Select a larger replay window through the same flat config:
Testing
Validated locally on RTX A6000:
torch.compilepassed for vLLM 0.20.0 and 0.30.0; compiled GDN results match eager execution exactly.git diff --checkpassed.The compatibility adapter handles native import moves, K/V state layout changes, reserved paged-cache index zero, and optional
USE_EXP2/KDA gate-base changes. Module discovery is kept outside Megatron's compiled gate graph. No native kernels were copied. The NeMo CI runtime's chunk-state kernel body was source-checked against the passing 0.30.0 implementation; the exact NeMo container has not been rerun locally.Local logs and source hashes are recorded in
tmp/gpu-ci-review-20261007/validation-compat.json. The first combined legacy run passed its five native/replay cases but exposed two Megatron issues; both were fixed and the two Megatron tests passed on rerun. The ReplaySSM fork has existing local KDA changes, so its commit alone does not reproduce those tests.The companion example retains historical tiny-model QAT/QAD results; those are not reruns of this compatibility update. Full serving-engine scheduling, pretrained-model quality recovery, training speed, multi-GPU scaling, untested runtime versions, and Hopper remain unqualified. Optional Hugging Face plugin warnings in these environments do not establish HF training compatibility.
Before your PR is "Ready for review"
CONTRIBUTING.md?: Adapted wrappers retain attribution/SPDX/LICENSE notices; native ReplaySSM kernels are imported. Optional dependencies and exact validation sources are documented. Internal OSS review status must be confirmed before merge.Additional Information
Step 2/7. Megatron-Core supplies training modules; FLA remains a kernel dependency. #2541 owns the separate vLLM fake-quant adapter. Prefill GEMM quantization remains a follow-up. Shared TensorQuantizer shape handling and FP8 eager/CUDA scale-rounding corrections are extracted from this PR for independent review.
