Chunked prefill can revisit a sub-page CP HiCache tail while a per-layer backup is still in flight. The old insert path split the radix node first and only then tried to prune the stale tail, so an unprunable pending backup raised after tree mutation and propagated to the scheduler. This makes split/prune atomic from the radix-tree perspective: drain completed write acks only on the conflict path, preflight pending/unprunable state before split, and return a deferred insert result when the backup is still in flight. Unfinished requests keep their KV ownership for transfer/release instead of rematching or freeing pages under a stale tree state. Constraint: CP HiCache backup metadata is node/page owned and cannot be repartitioned while per-layer D2H is pending Rejected: Split the pending backup node | would require repartitioning in-flight backup metadata and host reservations Rejected: Delete the stale tail unconditionally | risks freeing device/host pages still owned by pending backup Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Directive: Do not move stale-tail prune after split without a preflight; pending backup split conflicts must remain non-mutating Tested: remote g0034 container py_compile for mem_cache files Tested: remote g0034 PYTHONPATH=python pytest -q test/registered/unit/mem_cache/test_cp_hicache_metadata.py test/registered/unit/mem_cache/test_cp_hicache_load_back_owner_lanes.py => 115 passed Tested: local git diff --check Not-tested: full chunked prefill ETE after service restart Co-authored-by: OmX <omx@oh-my-codex.dev>
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.
