Address review: use registered envs.VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE

Replace direct os.environ.get(_DISABLE_ENV_VAR) == "1" check with envs.VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE to use the centrally registered env var from envs.py, which provides validation and caching. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

-
-# Diagnosing vLLM Buildkite CI Failures
-
-Buildkite logs are public; no login needed.
-
-`.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh` saves each log as `ci-<build>-<job-name>.log`, stripped of timestamps and ANSI codes. Existing files are kept; set `CI_FETCH_LOG_FORCE=1` to refetch.
-
-## Fetching logs
-
-```bash
-# All failed jobs in a PR's latest build (current branch's PR if omitted):
-.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh --pr <PR>
-
-# All failed jobs in a build (--soft also includes soft-failed jobs;
-# --all fetches every finished job):
-.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh "https://buildkite.com/vllm/ci/builds/<N>"
-
-# One job — `gh pr checks` URLs (#<job_uuid>) and web UI URLs (?sid=) both
-# work; pass "-" as a second argument to stream to stdout:
-.buildkite/scripts/ci-fetch-log.sh "https://buildkite.com/vllm/ci/builds/<N>#<job_uuid>"
-```
-
-To clean an already-downloaded log with `.buildkite/scripts/ci-clean-log.sh`:
-
-```bash
-./ci-clean-log.sh ci.log
-```

-When adding tests:
-
- **Design before you write.** Answer four questions first: what is the module
-  for, what is its I/O contract, what failure am I guarding against, and what is
-  the cheapest level that catches it (unit over integration over e2e)?
- **Reuse before create.** Extend existing test files, `conftest.py` fixtures, and
-  helpers; add a new file only when no nearby suite fits.
- **Test behavior with intent.** Assert observable outcomes through public APIs;
-  state why in the name or docstring. Skip trivial wiring; flaky tests are worse
-  than no tests.
- **Keep it minimal.** One behavior per test and the smallest setup that
-  triggers it; if the test diff dwarfs the code change, cut scope.
- **No one-off kernel benchmarks in `tests/`.** Put kernel perf work in
-  `benchmarks/kernels/`; prove correctness in existing pytest suites.
- **Run model evals for model-affecting changes.** Search `tests/evals/` or use
-  `vllm bench` and include results in the PR — do not wait for reviewers to ask.

- Minimize use of comments. Eliminate comments which are redundant, preferring legible and self-documenting code. When used, keep docstrings and comments brief and direct.

+- Try to match existing code style.
+- Code should be self-documenting and self-explanatory.

Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	6d32045b96	Address review: use registered envs.VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE Replace direct os.environ.get(_DISABLE_ENV_VAR) == "1" check with envs.VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE to use the centrally registered env var from envs.py, which provides validation and caching.

Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	41f6a7664a	Address review: register VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE in envs.py Register the push allreduce feature toggle env var in the central envs.py registry so it is validated on startup and follows the standard vllm env var pattern. Default is False (push allreduce enabled); set to 1 to disable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	d35dfbb2e3	Address review: add architecture-specific threshold selection The push threshold map was labeled as sm100-specific but applied unconditionally to all architectures. Now: - PUSH_THRESHOLD_SM100 is only used on Blackwell (compute capability 10.x) - PUSH_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT provides conservative 512 KB thresholds for architectures without tuned values - _THRESHOLD_BY_ARCH maps GPU major compute capability to threshold tables - A log message is emitted when falling back to conservative defaults Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	66eb0286ed	Address review: add type annotation and cleanup for push_ar_comm - Add PushAllReduce \| None type annotation on push_ar_comm to be consistent with other communicator fields (ca_comm, qr_comm, etc.) - Add push_ar_comm.close() + None assignment in destroy() method to match the cleanup pattern for other communicators - Add lazy import of PushAllReduce alongside other communicator imports Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	7b879d0a98	Address review: bind test sockets to localhost instead of all interfaces Fix CodeQL security warning by binding test helper sockets to "localhost" instead of "" (all interfaces). These sockets are only used for finding a free port for torch distributed init in tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
Alexander MatveevandClaude Opus 4.6	4640e0d269	Address review: add CUDA error checking and runtime buffer overflow guard - Add PUSH_AR_CUDACHECK macro wrapping all CUDA API calls (cudaGetDevice, cudaDeviceGetAttribute, cudaMalloc, cudaMemset, cudaIpcGetMemHandle, cudaIpcOpenMemHandle) to match the CUDACHECK pattern in custom_all_reduce.cuh - Replace assert(input_bytes <= push_buffer_bytes_) with a runtime std::runtime_error check that is not compiled out under -DNDEBUG - Add #include <stdexcept> and #include <string> for the runtime check Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
Alexander MatveevandAlexander Matveev	e3b4fdaf5d	perf: add push-based allreduce for small tensor reductions Port SGLang's push-based 2-buffer allreduce protocol into vLLM as a new communicator backend for small-message reductions. The push protocol eliminates the two explicit cross-GPU NVLink barrier round-trips used by the existing barrier-based CustomAllreduce, replacing them with a sentinel-based data arrival detection mechanism and double-buffered epoch alternation. Key advantages over the barrier-based approach: - Zero barriers: data arrival IS the synchronization (positive-zero sentinel) - Single NVLink round-trip instead of two barrier exchanges + remote reads - All SMs active (SM_count CTAs vs 2 CTAs) for higher NVLink bandwidth - No cudaMemcpy to IPC staging buffer in eager mode - PDL (griddepcontrol) support for kernel overlap on sm_90+ The new PushAllReduce is inserted in the CudaCommunicator dispatch chain above the existing CustomAllreduce for messages below a size threshold (~720 KB at TP=8). Larger messages continue to use the barrier-based path. The existing CustomAllreduce code is not modified. Measured results on DeepSeek-V4-Pro (61 layers, TP=8, 8x NVIDIA B200, BS=1, decode with ISL=4, OSL=33024): - Throughput: +2.14% (84.06 vs 82.30 tokens/s) - TPOT: -2.09% (11.90 vs 12.15 ms/token) Correctness verified via lm_eval gsm8k 5-shot with no regression (exact_match delta within statistical noise). The feature can be disabled at runtime via VLLM_DISABLE_PUSH_ALLREDUCE=1 to fall back to the barrier-based path. Signed-off-by: Alexander Matveev <amatveev@redhat.com>	2026-06-15 16:23:12 -04:00
