laoyao0822 401de0f8ce Reduce CP HiCache L2 allocator scan cost
Host HiCache reservations were paying token-level free-slot scans when trying to preserve page contiguity. The allocator now keeps a lazy page-extent index so availability checks and contiguous-preferred allocations avoid materializing the full 220GB-equivalent free-slot metadata path.

The companion benchmark models steady-state L2 churn near full occupancy, including burn-in and historical node-size effects, so LPF/RDMA descriptor quality can be separated from ETE noise.

Constraint: CP HiCache host allocations are page-shaped, but existing callers may still read free_slots directly.
Rejected: Sort and scan free_slots on each alloc_contiguous_preferred call | measured ms-level CPU overhead on 220GB-equivalent metadata.
Rejected: Remove free_slots compatibility | storage/tests still rely on the public tensor surface.
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not reintroduce per-allocation full free_slots scans on HostKVCache; preserve page-extent metadata or benchmark before changing allocator shape.
Tested: Local py_compile for memory_pool_host.py, allocator benchmark, and related tests.
Tested: Local test_cp_hicache_allocator_bench.py 10 passed.
Tested: Remote g0034 test_hicache_controller_cp.py 67 passed; test_cp_hicache_allocator_bench.py 10 passed.
Tested: Remote 220GB-equivalent host_churn benchmark: contiguous path reduced from ms-level to ~30-292us p50 depending on fragmentation.
Not-tested: Full CUDA ETE run after allocator change.
Not-tested: Production long-run fragmentation behavior under live traffic.

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

  1. Find the source file under python/sglang/srt/.
  2. 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
    
  3. 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")
    
  4. Run locally:
    pytest test/registered/unit/ -v            # all unit tests
    pytest test/registered/unit/mem_cache/ -v  # one module
    
  5. 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() or Engine(...).
  • No model weight loading.
  • Use CustomTestCase (from sglang.test.test_utils, adds CI retry).
  • Use unittest.mock for dependencies that are expensive to construct.
