GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates MoE operator memory management by altering the sequence of allocations. The workspace is now allocated (and, if needed, explicitly released and reallocated) before the output tensor is created. This applies to both the standard execution path and the min-latency path to avoid allocation conflicts and potential OOM.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
MoE workspace and output allocation sequencing
cpp/tensorrt_llm/thop/moeOp.cpp
Move output tensor creation to after workspace allocation; add explicit release/reset of existing WorkspaceInfo before reallocating a larger workspace; apply the sequence in both main and min-latency paths to prevent allocation contention and OOM.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.
Description Check ⚠️ Warning The PR description currently contains only the template headings without any substantive information in the Description or Test Coverage sections, leaving reviewers without context on the OOM issue or how this change resolves it. There is no explanation of the memory allocation adjustment or its purpose, and no details on which tests will safeguard the fix. This lack of content prevents proper evaluation of the rationale and test coverage. Please populate the Description section with a concise summary of the memory allocation changes and how they prevent the fused_moe OOM issue. Complete the Test Coverage section by listing specific tests that validate these memory management adjustments. Finally, verify and check off all relevant items in the PR checklist to ensure compliance with repository guidelines.
✅ Passed checks (1 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title Check ✅ Passed The title follows the required template by including an NVBugs ID, the “[fix]” type tag, and a clear reference to the fused_moe OOM issue that this PR addresses. It concisely and accurately reflects the primary change in the codebase, allowing team members to understand the main purpose at a glance. This specificity and adherence to the format ensure the title is both informative and compliant with repository conventions.

Tip

👮 Agentic pre-merge checks are now available in preview!

Pro plan users can now enable pre-merge checks in their settings to enforce checklists before merging PRs.

  • Built-in checks – Quickly apply ready-made checks to enforce title conventions, require pull request descriptions that follow templates, validate linked issues for compliance, and more.
  • Custom agentic checks – Define your own rules using CodeRabbit’s advanced agentic capabilities to enforce organization-specific policies and workflows. For example, you can instruct CodeRabbit’s agent to verify that API documentation is updated whenever API schema files are modified in a PR. Note: Upto 5 custom checks are currently allowed during the preview period. Pricing for this feature will be announced in a few weeks.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Example:

reviews:
  pre_merge_checks:
    custom_checks:
      - name: "Undocumented Breaking Changes"
        mode: "warning"
        instructions: |
          Pass/fail criteria: All breaking changes to public APIs, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, database schemas, or HTTP/GraphQL endpoints must be documented in the "Breaking Change" section of the PR description and in CHANGELOG.md. Exclude purely internal or private changes (e.g., code not exported from package entry points or explicitly marked as internal).

Please share your feedback with us on this Discord post.

395-399: Allocate output after workspace: good change to reduce OOM risk.

This ordering helps avoid allocator fragmentation. Optional: mirror this in runMoeMinLatency (allocate output after getWorkspaceInfo) for consistency, unless you intentionally deprioritize min-latency.


790-794: Release-before-realloc is good; fix 32-bit cast risk.

Casting total_workspace_size to long can truncate on LLP64 (Windows). Use int64_t for the tensor shape.

Apply this diff:

-            workspace_info.workspace = torch::empty({static_cast<long>(total_workspace_size)},
+            workspace_info.workspace = torch::empty({static_cast<int64_t>(total_workspace_size)},
                 torch::dtype(torch::kInt8).device(torch::kCUDA).requires_grad(false));

**/*.{h,hpp,hh,hxx,cpp,cxx,cc,cu,cuh}: Namespace closing braces must include a trailing comment with the namespace name (e.g., '} // namespace foo').
Prefer const or constexpr variables over #define for constants.
Declare variables that are not modified after initialization as const.
Avoid magic literals in code; except for 0, nullptr, true, false. Use named constants for comparisons and logic.
Use Allman brace style for formatting.
Place the semicolon of an empty for/while loop on a new line.
Bodies of switch/while/do-while/for must be compound statements (brace-delimited), and if/else must always be followed by brace-delimited statements.
Type names (e.g., classes) must be CamelCase starting with an uppercase letter (e.g., FooBar).
Local variables, methods, and namespaces use lowerCamelCase (e.g., localFooBar).
Non-magic-number global variables that are non-static and not in an anonymous namespace must be lowerCamelCase prefixed with 'g' (e.g., gDontUseGlobalFoos).
Non-magic-number globals that are static or in an anonymous namespace use lowerCamelCase prefixed with 's' (e.g., sMutableStaticGlobal).
Locally visible static variables use lowerCamelCase with 's' prefix (e.g., static std::once_flag sFlag).
Private/protected member variables use 'm' prefix with CamelCase (e.g., mNbFooValues). Public members may omit, but 'm' is encouraged for clarity.
Constants (enums, global constants, static constants, and function-scope magic/literal constants) use uppercase SNAKE_CASE with 'k' prefix (e.g., kDIGIT_NUM).
Function-scope constants that are not magic numbers or literals are named like non-constant variables (e.g., bool const pass = a && b).
If macros are necessary, name them in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., FOO_VERSION) and prefer constants over #define.
Use LLVM clang-format; wrap lines at a maximum of 120 columns; use '// clang-format off/on' sparingly with justification.
Use smart pointers for heap allocations; prefer unique_ptr for sole ownership, shared_ptr for shared...
