[CI] Inline env vars lost by CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE subshell wrapping

Postmerge/nightly/daily builds set CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE=1, which wraps
each YAML command in `(cmd) || CI_OVERALL_STATUS=1`. A standalone
`export VAR=val` executes inside the subshell and the variable is
immediately lost — subsequent commands never see it.

This caused real failures (model_executor fastsafetensors crash from
missing VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=spawn) and silent coverage gaps
(rust_frontend tests silently running the Python frontend because
VLLM_USE_RUST_FRONTEND=1 was never set).

Fix: inline env vars as command prefixes (`VAR=val command`) instead
of standalone `export` lines across all 11 affected CI YAML files.

+description: Fetch and diagnose vLLM Buildkite CI failure logs. Use when investigating failing CI jobs on a PR or build, when the user pastes a buildkite.com URL, or asks to fetch/diagnose CI logs.
+---
+
+# 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
+```
+
+## Reference

 Minor issues such as informational disclosures, logging errors, non-exploitable flaws, or weaknesses that require local or high-privilege access and offer negligible impact. Examples include side channel attacks or hash collisions. These issues often have CVSS scores less than 4.0
 
+## Fix disclosure policy
+
+When a security report is accepted, the fix process depends on the severity:
+
+* **CRITICAL and HIGH severity**: Fixes are developed in a private security fork and coordinated with the prenotification group before public disclosure.
+* **MODERATE and LOW severity**: Fixes are developed and submitted as public pull requests. These issues do not require embargo since they do not enable arbitrary code execution or significant data breach, and public visibility accelerates community review and adoption of the fix.
+
+The vulnerability management team reserves the right to adjust the disclosure approach on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as active exploitation, unusual attack surface, or coordination requirements with downstream vendors.
+
 ## Prenotification policy
 
 For certain security issues of CRITICAL, HIGH, or MODERATE severity level, we may prenotify certain organizations or vendors that ship vLLM. The purpose of this prenotification is to allow for a coordinated release of fixes for severe issues.

+"""Benchmark and regression-test pinned (page-locked) CPU memory for vLLM.
+
+Verifies that enabling pinned memory does not regress throughput or latency
+compared to unpinned memory.  Each condition runs in an isolated ``spawn``
+subprocess so both start from a cold CUDA context, giving an unbiased
+comparison.
+
+Usage
+-----
+Run all tests with the default model::
+
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py -v
+
+Override the model and optional max-model-len::
+
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py --model unsloth/Qwen3-1.7B -v
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py --model unsloth/Qwen3-1.7B \
+        --max-model-len 8192 -v
+
+Run only throughput or latency tests::
+
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py -v -k test_throughput
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py -v -k test_latency
+
+Run only the v1 or v2 runner variant::
+
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py -v -k v1
+    python benchmarks/benchmark_pin_memory.py -v -k v2
+
+Note: on WSL2, v1 runner tests are skipped because pin memory is not available
+for the v1 runner without cpu_offload_gb.  Run on other platforms to exercise v1.
