[None][infra] Skip pre-merge perf gating when main has already regressed and refactor the pre-merge perf-sanity list

[chenfeiz0326]

Description

Two coupled changes to the pre-merge perf-sanity gate. They are in one PR because
either alone is worse than neither: part 2 turns the pre-merge perf gate on for 2
cases, one of which is regressed on main right now, and part 1 is what stops that one
from blocking every PR on day one.

Part 1 — do not fail a pre-merge perf case when main has already regressed

Both perf pipelines compare against the same post-merge baseline. Post-merge runs
daily on the main tip and the baseline is derived from that history; pre-merge runs
on a PR branch and compares against it. So once a regression lands on main, every PR
measures the same regressed value and every PR fails a perf-sanity test it did not
break — blocking the whole queue until someone lands a fix, after which everyone else
must rebase.

The new rule:

• If the latest post-merge value for a test case misses its baseline by more than the
  pre-merge threshold (10%), do not evaluate whether the pre-merge result is
  regressive. As long as the functional test passes, the perf test is treated as
  passed.
• If the latest post-merge value is within the pre-merge threshold, evaluate the
  pre-merge result.
• That evaluation compares the pre-merge value against the post-merge baseline
  (unchanged).
• If the pre-merge result is regressive, fail that test case.

prepare_regressive_test_cases now returns the set of exempt cmd_idx and
check_perf_regression takes it as an optional kwarg, warning on exempt cases but
excluding them from the raised error. The "latest post-merge value" is
latest_history_data_dict, which get_history_data already fetches and
prepare_regressive_test_cases already receives, so no new OpenSearch query is
issued. Both functions have exactly one call site each, in the same file.

Three design points, deliberate rather than accidental:

Decision	Choice
Which threshold decides "post-merge is regressive"	The pre-merge threshold (10%). The latest post-merge value is re-evaluated against the same baseline via a shared _is_regressive helper; the b_is_regression the post-merge run recorded is not reused, because it was computed at the tighter 5% post-merge bar.
Granularity	The whole test case (cmd_idx), not the individual metric.
What is recorded	No new field. The pre-merge document's b_is_regression is uploaded exactly as measured; only the RuntimeError is suppressed.

Consequences a reviewer should weigh, documented in both READMEs rather than papered
over:

• The exemption is exactly as wide as the failure it prevents, and no wider. This
  is why the threshold is re-evaluated instead of reused. A case sitting 6% below
  baseline is not exempt: a PR reproducing that value never fails the 10% gate, so
  there was nothing to exempt — and a PR that takes the same case to 20% down still
  fails. The blind window is ≥10% down, precisely the band where the gate would have
  fired on main's own value anyway.
• Inside that window the case is exempt entirely. A further regression the PR adds
  on top of main's still passes. That is inherent to exempting a whole test case; the
  alternative — comparing pre-merge against the latest post-merge value rather than
  the baseline — is a noisier design and was not adopted.
• A broken post-merge record does not disarm the gate. Metric absent, null,
  non-numeric, zero and negative all fail to exempt, by construction rather than by
  luck.
• It self-clears, and that hides the regression. Nothing seeds d_baseline_*, so
  the effective baseline is the rolling P95/P5 window in calculate_baseline_metrics.
  Within days the baseline drifts down, the latest post-merge value comes back inside
  the threshold, and the gate re-arms — against the lowered bar if nobody landed a
  fix.
• One flaky post-merge point disarms the gate for a whole post-merge cycle.
  "Latest" has no smoothing.
• The escape hatch is manual: mark the offending post-merge document
  b_is_valid: false in OpenSearch so the history query drops it.
• The exempting document may come from a different stage. s_stage_name is not a
  match key, so "latest" is whichever stage ran last.
• test_visual_gen_perf_sanity.py inherits this (it passes no fail_on_regression);
  host_perf/regression_helper.py passes False and is inert either way.

Part 2 — refactor the pre-merge case list

main today enrolls 10 cases in pre-merge across 5 stages. 3 of those stages carry
FUNCTIONAL-ONLY in the stage name, which test_perf_sanity.py reads as a substring to
set fail_on_regression = False — so a perf regression on those stages cannot fail CI at
all. Two of the three run e2e cases, and all three are multi-node. The remaining 2
stages are one GB200 list split in two, carrying the 7 cases that do gate.

All 10 are replaced by 2 disagg ctx_only cases on GB300:

#	Model / GPU	Mode	Config stem (…_ccb-NIXL)	GPUs / nodes
1	DeepSeek-V4-Pro / GB300	ctx_only	gb300_deepseek-v4-pro-fp4_8k1k_con8_ctx1_dep4_gen4_tep8_eplb0_mtp3	4 / 1
2	DeepSeek-V4-Pro / GB300	ctx_only	gb300_deepseek-v4-pro-fp4_8k1k_con666_ctx6_dep4_gen1_dep16_eplb384_mtp3	4 / 1

Why only two

GB300 x4 capacity is the binding constraint. Pre-merge perf-sanity runs on every
multi-GPU-touching PR, so every enrolled case is a recurring claim on a scarce pool, and
the cluster cannot support the 8 cases an earlier revision of this PR proposed. The two
DeepSeek-V4-Pro cases are the pair the gate is actually wanted for, and taking small and
large concurrency of a single model is the cheapest arrangement that still covers a
latency-shaped and a throughput-shaped path. Everything else moves to post-merge, where it
already ran.

Both cases fit a single 4-GPU node — submit.py sizes ctx_only from worker_config.ctx
with exactly one server, ignoring num_ctx_servers — so the entire pre-merge
perf-sanity footprint is one stage on one node: GB300-4_GPUs-PyTorch-PerfSanity-1,
splits: 1.

Where everything else went

Left pre-merge	Mode	Landed in
gb200_qwen3-235b-fp4_8k1k con64, con1024	ctx_only	l0_gb200_multi_gpus_perf_sanity post_merge
gb200_deepseek-r1-fp4_8k1k_con4096	ctx_only	same
gb200_gpt-oss-120b-fp4_8k1k_con512	ctx_only	same
deepseek_r1_fp4_v2_grace_blackwell dep4_mtp1_8k1k, tep4_mtp3_8k1k, tp4_mtp3_8k1k	aggregated	same
gb200_gpt-oss-120b-fp4_8k1k_con1024	e2e	l0_gb200_multi_nodes_perf_sanity_ctx1_node1_gpu1_gen1_node1_gpu4 post_merge
gb300_glm-5-fp4_8k1k_con1024	e2e	l0_gb300_multi_nodes_perf_sanity_ctx1_node1_gpu2_gen1_node2_gpu8 post_merge
b200_deepseek-r1-fp4_8k1k_con1536	gen_only	l0_b200_multi_nodes_perf_sanity_ctx1_node1_gpu4_gen1_node1_gpu8 post_merge

Every one of them keeps running, and keeps its OpenSearch baseline history, because
baselines match on s_test_case_name/s_gpu_type/s_runtime/s_branch rather than on
stage name. The post-merge pipeline's run list is unchanged apart from a single
intentional addition (see Test Coverage).

Each multi-node list that received a case had its paired Post-Merge stage testCount
bumped to match, because a multi-node disagg stage requires exactly one test per split —
submit.py's select_test_case_line raises ValueError on zero or many. The
…_gpu4_gen1_node1_gpu8 list is the one that set this pattern: its pre_merge block held
only the dsr1 con1536 gen_only case and no other list carried that config, so deleting
the block outright would have orphaned it. It moves to post_merge and that stage goes
from 2 splits to 3.

Dropping FUNCTIONAL-ONLY from a stage name is the entire mechanism that turns a stage
into a gating stage. With every multi-node stage now out of pre-merge, no stage sets that
flag any more. The mechanism itself is kept, and the perf-sanity README now documents it
explicitly.

Things worth calling out

1. Both cases execute — neither is waived. waives.txt is byte-identical before and
   after this PR, and both test-db entries carry only TIMEOUT (90), no SKIP.
2. Case Bump onnx from 1.12.0 to 1.13.0 #1 is regressed on main right now; case Add static libraries for batch manager #2 is not. con8 held a ~7.6 seq/s
   plateau across ~25 consecutive post-merge builds and then dropped to 5.93 / 6.02 / 6.03
   on the three most recent (−21.7%), with b_is_regression: true recorded on all
   three. con666 is stable at 8.8–9.0 and has never been flagged. So day one is 1
   actively gating case + 1 auto-exempt case, and the exempt one starts gating as soon as
   main recovers. This is exactly why the two parts ship together: without part 1,
   enrolling con8 would fail every PR from the moment this merges.
3. GB200 now has no pre-merge perf coverage, and its pre-merge PerfSanity stage is
   deleted. GB200-4_GPUs-PyTorch-PerfSanity-1/-2 are removed outright rather than
   left pointing at an emptied block — a stage whose test-db context selects nothing would
   still claim a 4-GPU node for zero tests. GB200 keeps its full post-merge coverage (18
   cases).
4. No gen_only and no multi-node case is enrolled in pre-merge. Each is
   disaggregated across nodes and claims a whole stage of 8–40 GPUs, which every PR would
   pay for. Deliberately accepted as a consequence: pre-merge ends up with no multi-node
   disaggregated perf coverage — the gap the FUNCTIONAL-ONLY mechanism was introduced
   to fill. Post-merge retains all of it.
5. The gate arms on multi-GPU-touching PRs, not on every PR. Every perf-sanity stage
   name matches \d+_GPUs, so it sits in multiGpuJobs and is subtracted from a default
   pre-merge run (L0_Test.groovy:6900); it returns only when MULTI_GPU_FILE_CHANGED
   fires or --add-multi-gpu-test is passed. Pre-existing behaviour, unchanged here, but
   it is the reason the pre-merge gate — and therefore part 1's exemption — engages less
   often than the case count suggests.
6. The new pair has no track record as a gate. All 7 currently-gating cases leave the
   pre-merge list, which removes the suite's only long gating history (1.18% flag rate,
   308 of 26,172 records over 3 months). Both new cases have post-merge history, but
   neither has been exercised as a PR-blocking gate.
7. One orphaned config is enrolled in post-merge:
   gb300_deepseek-r1-fp4_8k1k_con1_ctx1_dep4_gen1_tep8_eplb0_mtp3. Its config YAML
   existed, but the id appeared in no test list and no waive, so it never ran anywhere. It
   was picked up while it was a pre-merge candidate — a pre-merge gate with no post-merge
   baseline is a silent no-op — and is kept now that it is not one, because enrolling a
   config that was silently dead is a strict improvement. This is the one and only case the
   post-merge pipeline gains.

Declared pre-merge perf-sanity cost:

	Stages	Nodes	GPUs	Enrolled cases	Perf-gating cases
main today	5	9	44	10	7 (the other 3 stages are FUNCTIONAL-ONLY)
First revision of this PR	8	30	120	13	13
Previous revision of this PR	3	3	12	8	8
This PR	1	1	4	2	2, of which 1 is auto-exempt until main recovers

Merged with main

This branch is merged up to main at 21dc97fbc8. One conflict, in
l0_gb300_multi_gpus_perf_sanity.yml: #18990 added
aggr_upload-ctx_only-time_breakdown-…_con666_… immediately after the plain …_con666_…
entry, which is exactly where this PR splits that file's single block into pre_merge and
post_merge. The resolution keeps main's new time_breakdown line in the post_merge
block and drops main's copy of the plain con666 line, because this PR carries that id in
the same file's pre_merge block — and the post-merge pipeline runs both blocks, so the
case still runs post-merge exactly once. Neither side's coverage is lost.

Also in this part, unrelated to the case selection:
l0_b200_multi_nodes_perf_sanity_node2_gpu16.yml is deleted — no Jenkins stage has ever
referenced it, so nothing in it ever ran. Its two
aggr_upload-deepseek_r1_fp4_v2_2_nodes_blackwell-* ids therefore appear in no test list
at all after this PR; re-enabling them later means re-authoring the list, not just
declaring a stage.

Test Coverage

No unit test is added. tests/unittest/others/test_perf_regression_branch.py is left
byte-identical to main, so this PR touches no test source at all. Part 1's logic is
covered by the pipeline instead: case #1 (con8) is regressed on main right now, so this
PR's own pre-merge perf-sanity run — with --add-multi-gpu-test, since perf-sanity stages
are in multiGpuJobs — exercises the exemption path end to end on real OpenSearch history,
and a green result on a case that is measurably 21.7% below baseline is the assertion.
Everything below it is enumerative verification of the list/stage refactor.

Verification performed:

• scripts/check_test_list.py --validate → rc=0, 1853 unique test entries validated (190
  further active entries have runtime-computed parametrize ids and are reported
  unverifiable by the AST checker, before and after alike); --check-duplicate-waives →
  rc=0. (Both must be run with Python ≥3.10; the hook's python3 shebang resolves to 3.6
  on some dev boxes and the script then dies in its own type annotations.)

• The post-merge pipeline loses nothing and gains exactly one case: 114 → 115.
  Enumerated by joining every test-db block against the Jenkins stages that actually
  reference it, on the real merge result (this branch merged into main), not on the
  branch alone. Two mechanisms carry the result and both were read in code rather than
  assumed: the post-merge job adds multiGpuJobs and postMergeJobs
  (L0_Test.groovy:6921-6925), so the pre-merge stages run there too; and
  is_post_merge = "PostMerge" in job_url (perf_regression_utils.py:62) keys on the
  job URL, not on the stage name, so those runs still upload post-merge documents and
  keep feeding baselines. Set difference over the two enumerated pipelines: removed =
  none, added = the one orphan config from item 7.

• Per-file entry counts across all 31 perf-sanity test-db lists, main → this PR:

  list	before	after
  l0_gb200_multi_gpus_perf_sanity	7 pre + 11 post = 18	0 pre + 18 post = 18
  l0_gb300_multi_gpus_perf_sanity	0 pre + 19 post = 19	2 pre + 18 post = 20
  l0_gb200_multi_nodes_…_gpu1_gen1_node1_gpu4	1 pre + 5 post = 6	0 pre + 6 post = 6
  l0_gb300_multi_nodes_…_gpu2_gen1_node2_gpu8	1 pre + 2 post = 3	0 pre + 3 post = 3
  l0_b200_multi_nodes_…_gpu4_gen1_node1_gpu8	1 pre + 2 post = 3	0 pre + 3 post = 3
  l0_b200_multi_nodes_…_node2_gpu16	0 pre + 2 post = 2	deleted
  the other 25 lists	—	byte-identical to main

  Totals are conserved everywhere except l0_gb300_multi_gpus_perf_sanity (+1, the
  orphan) and the deleted list. No yml has the same id in both of its blocks.

• Pre-merge perf-sanity resolves to exactly 2 cases, both ctx_only, both in
  l0_gb300_multi_gpus_perf_sanity, served by the single stage
  GB300-4_GPUs-PyTorch-PerfSanity-1 (tests=2, splits=1, 4 GPUs, 1 node). No dangling
  reference to the deleted GB200-4_GPUs-PyTorch-PerfSanity-* stages remains under
  jenkins/.

• For every Post-Merge multi-node disagg stage, replaying submit.py's
  _select_least_duration_group against the real .test_durations puts exactly one
  test in every split at the declared testCount — the invariant
  select_test_case_line raises ValueError on. Zero mismatches before and zero after,
  including every count this change bumps.

• No FUNCTIONAL-ONLY stage name remains; every test-db context key equals its
  filename stem; both retained config YAMLs exist under
  tests/scripts/perf-sanity/disaggregated/.

• scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py, which parses the groovy and the test-db
  independently of the above, agrees on the stage each moved id lands in.

• pre-commit clean on all changed files (ruff, ruff-format, codespell,
  whitespace, yaml, legacy-lint-config verify).

Post-merge follow-up after this lands: confirm the newly-enrolled orphan config starts
uploading, then confirm con8 begins gating once main recovers.

Dev Engineer Review

• Pre-merge regression checks now exempt cases already regressed on main.
• Functional failures still fail.
• Regression data remains recorded.
• The exemption path avoids an additional OpenSearch query.
• check_perf_regression now accepts exempt_cmd_idxs.
• Regression handling covers invalid records, strict thresholds, rolling baselines, and fail-closed paths.
• Functional-only stages were replaced with performance-gating stages.
• Pre-merge coverage now includes 13 ctx_only and gen_only cases across Qwen3-235B, DeepSeek-R1, GLM-5, and DeepSeek-V4-Pro on GB200 and GB300.
• Related post-merge lists were updated for baseline coverage.
• The pre-merge footprint increases to 8 stages, 30 nodes, and 120 GPUs.
• Two V4 cases initially run as skips.
• infraDeferPredicate now delegates branch execution and fail-fast handling to the shared library.
• Documentation describes exemption criteria, threshold behavior, preserved records, and warning behavior.
• Configuration scope and test-list changes require validation for valid IDs, formatting, duplicates, host/GPU constraints, and unintended scope changes.

QA Engineer Review

Modified test code in tests/unittest/others/test_perf_regression_branch.py covers:

• Pre-merge and post-merge branch routing.
• Configurable baseline branches.
• Regression thresholds and exact-threshold behavior.
• Per-case exemptions.
• Numeric-string metrics.
• Minimize metrics.
• Rolling-baseline behavior.
• Missing-value handling.
• Latest-record semantics.
• Functional failures.
• Post-merge behavior.
• Query failures.
• Preservation of uploaded document fields.

The regression tests are direct unit tests. They are not represented in tests/integration/test_lists/.

Modified test-list files cover B200, GB200, and GB300 pre-merge and post-merge performance cases. They add Qwen3-235B, DeepSeek-R1, GLM-5, and DeepSeek-V4-Pro cases. They remove functional-only and superseded cases.

The list changes require validation for test IDs, formatting, duplicate entries, bug references, and expected host/GPU scope.

• Verdict: sufficient, subject to successful unit, matching-test, list-validation, launch-generation, and pre-commit checks.

Walkthrough

The change expands B200, GB200, and GB300 pre-merge PerfSanity coverage. It centralizes infrastructure-deferred branch execution. It exempts pre-merge regressions already present in the latest post-merge record while preserving regression details and validating the behavior with unit tests.

Changes

PerfSanity coverage and stage routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PerfSanity coverage and stage routing jenkins/L0_Test.groovy, tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/*perf_sanity*.yml	B200, GB200, and GB300 pre-merge PerfSanity stages and test cases were added or updated. B200 coverage moved to post-merge. GB300 received new single-node and multi-node configurations. Branch execution now uses infraDeferPredicate and shared-library runBranchesWithInfraDefer.

Pre-merge regression exemptions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pre-merge regression exemptions tests/integration/defs/perf/perf_regression_utils.py, tests/integration/defs/perf/README_*.md	Pre-merge cases use the latest post-merge result for the same cmd_idx. Matching regressions produce warnings instead of gating failures. Functional failures remain gating.

Regression behavior validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Regression behavior validation tests/unittest/others/test_perf_regression_branch.py	Tests cover thresholds, rolling baselines, per-case exemptions, latest-record semantics, invalid records, post-merge behavior, disabled gating, query failures, and uploaded document fields.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Infra-only review: the Jenkins/test-list mapping looks generally consistent, but the current head (69f4726) has no reported CI status. This PR changes perf-gating semantics and increases the declared pre-merge capacity from 44 to 84 GPUs.

Please run current-head CI covering the regression unit tests, test-list validation, and representative new GB200/GB300 perf stages to verify the changes.

- Line 6240: Update the perfMode predicates in the relevant stage configuration
logic, including the checks near lines 6261 and 6615, to recognize stage keys
containing either “-Perf-” or “-PerfSanity-”. Apply the same condition
consistently to the additional affected occurrences so PerfSanity stages receive
the performance mode while existing Perf stages remain unchanged.

675-677: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the fail_on_regression=False test discriminating.

This test pairs _CLEAN_LATEST with fail_on_regression=False. A clean latest cannot trigger the exemption, so line 682 holds for a reason unrelated to fail_on_regression. The test passes even if fail_on_regression=False were removed.

Use _REGRESSED_LATEST instead. The exemption path then becomes reachable, and the assertion at line 682 measures the intended behavior of a non-gating stage.

♻️ Proposed change

     observed = _pre_merge(
         monkeypatch,
-        history=_history(_CLEAN_LATEST),
+        history=_history(_REGRESSED_LATEST),
         value=_REGRESSED_VALUE,
         fail_on_regression=False,
     )

Update the docstring at line 672 to match the new fixture.

👎 Promotion blocked, new vulnerability found

Vulnerability report

Component	Vulnerability	Description	Severity
accelerate	CVE-2026-69112	Hugging Face Accelerate through 1.14.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in load_checkpoint_in_model and load_checkpoint_and_dispatch functions that fail to sanitize weight_map entries from sharded checkpoint indexes. Attackers can supply relative paths with ../ sequences or absolute paths to read arbitrary files, or point shard entries at named pipes to cause indefinite blocking and denial of service.	HIGH

Thanks for moving some of the existing tests to post-merge. However, the current pre-merge resource increase is still too high.

Compared with main, this PR adds five pre-merge stages requiring 4, 4, 12, 36, and 40 GPUs. Based on the latest full CI run (#59392), the newly added stages consume about 72.4 GPU-hours in total. Even after accounting for the two removed stages and the shorter runtimes of the retained stages, the net increase is still approximately 45.5 GPU-hours per full pre-merge run. The new 36-GPU and 40-GPU stages alone account for about 44.8 GPU-hours.

Please move these newly added high-resource stages/tests to post-merge so that the pre-merge GPU-hour increase remains small.

[chenfeiz0326]

@ZhanruiSunCh I have updated the pre-merge list. Please review again. Thanks!

LGTM for infra part. will add ~4 GPU hours on GB300 pre-merge. It is OK for now.
