CP HiCache direct/page_first_direct all-layer backup was still able to enter sgl-kernel's stale cudaMemcpyBatchAsync path, which segfaults under CUDA 13 before Python can surface an error. The SGLang route now avoids that all-layer sgl-kernel op for page_first_direct backup and uses the TAI per-layer direct LF->PF op for MHA, MLA, and NSA indexer data.\n\nThe load-back path also prepares NSA indexer page indices once per load op and reuses them across per-layer H2D loads, preserving per-layer overlap while removing redundant page-index derivation.\n\nConstraint: Remote runtime is CUDA 13.0 where sgl-kernel's all-layer direct LF->PF op uses the wrong cudaMemcpyBatchAsync ABI.\nRejected: Patch sgl-kernel in this branch | we are converging production HiCache direct/page_first_direct paths onto tai-kernel and do not want to maintain another CUDA-ABI-sensitive copy path here.\nRejected: Collapse H2D load-back into one all-layer op | that would reduce submit count but lose per-layer completion visibility and forward overlap.\nConfidence: medium\nScope-risk: moderate\nDirective: Do not reintroduce sgl_kernel.transfer_kv_all_layer_direct_lf_pf for direct/page_first_direct HiCache backup without CUDA 13 ABI verification.\nTested: g0034 container: PYTHONPATH=python python -m pytest -q -s test/registered/unit/mem_cache/test_nsa_pool_host_unit.py -> 10 passed, 3 warnings.\nTested: g0034 container: PYTHONPATH=python python -m pytest -q test/registered/unit/managers/test_hicache_controller_cp.py -> 61 passed, 3 warnings.\nTested: python -m py_compile python/sglang/srt/mem_cache/memory_pool_host.py python/sglang/srt/managers/cache_controller.py test/registered/unit/mem_cache/test_nsa_pool_host_unit.py test/registered/unit/managers/test_hicache_controller_cp.py\nNot-tested: Full ETE prefill/decode traffic after this commit.\nNot-tested: sgl-kernel implementation itself remains unchanged.
Unit Tests
Component-level tests that do not launch a server or load model weights. Tests can use CPU or GPU — the key criterion is no server process.
Quick Start
- Find the source file under
python/sglang/srt/. - Create the corresponding test here, mirroring the source tree:
srt/mem_cache/radix_cache.py → unit/mem_cache/test_radix_cache.py srt/sampling/sampling_params.py → unit/sampling/test_sampling_params.py - Register for CI at the top of the file (after imports, before test classes):
from sglang.test.ci.ci_register import register_cpu_ci register_cpu_ci(est_time=5, suite="stage-a-test-cpu") # or: register_cuda_ci(est_time=10, suite="stage-b-test-1-gpu-small") - Run locally:
pytest test/registered/unit/ -v # all unit tests pytest test/registered/unit/mem_cache/ -v # one module - Run with coverage:
# summary pytest test/registered/unit/ --cov --cov-config=.coveragerc -v # PR incremental check (require ≥60% on changed lines) pytest test/registered/unit/ --cov --cov-config=.coveragerc --cov-report=xml diff-cover coverage.xml --compare-branch=origin/main --fail-under=60
Example
"""Unit tests for <module> — no server, no model loading."""
from sglang.test.ci.ci_register import register_cpu_ci
register_cpu_ci(est_time=5, suite="stage-a-test-cpu")
import unittest
from sglang.srt.<module> import TargetClass
from sglang.test.test_utils import CustomTestCase
class TestTargetClass(CustomTestCase):
def test_basic_behavior(self):
obj = TargetClass(...)
self.assertEqual(obj.method(), expected)
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
Rules
- No
popen_launch_server()orEngine(...). - No model weight loading.
- Use
CustomTestCase(fromsglang.test.test_utils, adds CI retry). - Use
unittest.mockfor dependencies that are expensive to construct.
