Dev Engineer Review

KVCacheV2Scheduler now releases PEFT ownership when it suspends started requests and restores ownership when suspended generation requests resume. PEFT-manager guards preserve behavior for non-LoRA requests. The recompute-pause path remains out of scope.

No review severity findings or native/GPU test results were supplied. Source-level stub validation was reported.

QA Engineer Review

Modified tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py with eight tests covering self-eviction, victim eviction, resume behavior, missing managers, phantom-registration prevention, and repeated suspend/resume cycles. No test-list changes were reported. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the targeted lifecycle transitions; native and GPU validation needs follow-up.

Per-File QA Perspective

tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py: Verify PEFT ownership release during suspension and restoration exactly once during successful generation resumption. Verify both PEFT and non-PEFT paths.
tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py: Covers PEFT ownership lifecycle, manager absence, and repeated suspension/resumption. No test-list entry was reported.

Description

KVCacheV2Scheduler (scheduler_v2.py) can self- or victim-evict a generation request under MAX_UTILIZATION to free KV cache pages, via _suspend_request(). That method released the KV pages in the main and draft managers but never told PeftCacheManager to release the request's PEFT/LoRA adapter ownership — the adapter stayed "active" on the device indefinitely, so a different adapter could never evict it from a full PEFT device cache even though the scheduler had already freed the request's KV pages. _suspend_request()'s own docstring carried a TODO: Also release PEFT resources (mark_request_done) ... comment documenting this exact gap.

A resumed generation request also had no path to re-register PEFT ownership: PeftCacheManager.prepare_resources() only calls add_request_peft() for context_batch requests, and a resumed generation request re-enters scheduling through _try_schedule_generation() directly, never through context admission.

This PR closes both gaps, gated on peft_cache_manager being configured so non-LoRA deployments are unaffected:

_suspend_request() now calls mark_request_done(req, pause=True) for requests that have actually started (_is_started_request()), avoiding a phantom paused entry for a request that was never admitted via add_request_peft() in the first place.
_try_schedule_generation() detects a suspended-to-resumed transition before attempting allocation and calls add_request_peft(req) once when the resume succeeds.

Known limitation / follow-up: a separate destructive "recompute pause" path (_try_recompute_pause_for_gen -> _recompute_pause_request) frees a started request's KV cache via _free_kv_caches() without going through _suspend_request(), so it does not release PEFT ownership either, and it can pick any started request (not only ones already KV-suspended) as a victim. This is the same class of gap, via a second mechanism outside the scope of the TODO this PR addresses. Left as a fast-follow rather than folded into this PR to keep the change minimal and focused.

Fixes #18407

Test Coverage

Added TestPeftSuspendResume (8 tests) to tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py:

Self-eviction pauses PEFT ownership exactly once.
Victim-eviction pauses the victim's PEFT ownership exactly once.
Resume re-registers ownership exactly once, and not again on later steady-state iterations.
Suspend and resume are safe no-ops when peft_cache_manager is None (no AttributeError).
A context request suspended before completing its first chunk (never admitted via add_request_peft) does NOT trigger mark_request_done (phantom-registration guard).
An already-started (non-first-chunk) context request DOES trigger mark_request_done on suspend.
A repeated suspend -> resume -> suspend -> resume cycle keeps PEFT call counts 1:1 with the real transitions.

Validation note: This sandbox has no Docker/GPU toolchain, so the compiled tensorrt_llm.bindings C++ extension could not be built and tensorrt_llm could not be imported normally. Verified instead by loading the real, unmodified source of llm_request.py, scheduler.py, and scheduler_v2.py against a minimal stub of the compiled bindings extension (enum values for LlmRequestState taken directly from cpp/include/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/llmRequest.h), then running every test in the target test file directly (bypassing conftest.py, which separately requires ray and other dependencies unavailable here):

New TestPeftSuspendResume: 8/8 pass against the fix; 5/8 fail with only scheduler_v2.py reverted to main (the 3 that still pass assert the absence of a call, so they're expected to hold either way).
Full file (218 tests): 213/218 pass against the fix; the same 5 fail identically with the fix reverted, confirming they're pre-existing and unrelated (2 are @pytest.mark.parametrize tests the manual runner used here can't invoke directly; 3 cover unrelated draft/joint-KV-cache-reuse cursor logic this change doesn't touch).
ruff check / ruff format --diff / codespell: clean on both changed files.

No GPU or real compiled-bindings validation was possible in this sandbox; the C++-side semantics (PeftCacheManager::markRequestDone, addRequestPeft, updateTaskState) were traced from source but never exercised through the actual compiled extension. Recommend a maintainer confirm against a real build before merge.

…end, restore on resume Motivation: Under KVCacheV2Scheduler + MAX_UTILIZATION, a generation request can be self- or victim-evicted to free KV cache pages when allocation fails. _suspend_request() released the KV pages in both the main and draft managers but never told PeftCacheManager the request's PEFT/LoRA adapter ownership should be released. The adapter stayed "active" on the device indefinitely, so a different adapter could never evict it from a full PEFT device cache even though the scheduler had already freed the request's KV pages to relieve pressure. This was a documented gap: _suspend_request()'s own docstring carried a "TODO: Also release PEFT resources (mark_request_done) ..." comment. A generation request that later resumes after such a suspension also had no way to re-register PEFT ownership: PeftCacheManager. prepare_resources() only calls add_request_peft() for context_batch requests, and a resumed generation request re-enters scheduling through _try_schedule_generation() directly, never through context admission. Approach: Two changes in scheduler_v2.py, both gated on peft_cache_manager being configured (non-LoRA deployments pay no extra cost): - _suspend_request() now calls peft_cache_manager.mark_request_done(req, pause=True) when the request has actually started (_is_started_request()). The started-only gate avoids registering a phantom paused entry for a request that was never admitted through add_request_peft() in the first place (e.g. a first-chunk context request whose cross-context admission failed). - _try_schedule_generation() captures whether the request's KV cache was suspended before attempting allocation, and if allocation then succeeds, calls peft_cache_manager.add_request_peft(req) once to re-register ownership. Known limitation / follow-up: a separate destructive "recompute pause" path (_try_recompute_pause_for_gen -> _recompute_pause_request) frees a started request's KV cache via _free_kv_caches() without going through _suspend_request(), so it does not release PEFT ownership either. That path can pick any started request (not only ones already KV-suspended) as a victim, so an active LoRA request paused this way keeps its adapter registered as owned until it completes. This is the same class of gap the issue reports, but via a second mechanism outside the scope of the TODO this change addresses; left as a fast-follow rather than folded into this fix to keep the change minimal. Validation: No compiled tensorrt_llm.bindings extension is available in this sandbox (no Docker/GPU toolchain), so tensorrt_llm cannot be imported normally. Verified by loading the real, unmodified source of llm_request.py, scheduler.py, and scheduler_v2.py directly against a minimal stub of the compiled tensorrt_llm.bindings extension (enum values for LlmRequestState taken from the authoritative C++ definition in cpp/include/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/llmRequest.h), then running every test in tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py directly (bypassing tests/unittest/conftest.py, which separately requires ray and other unavailable dependencies for this scheduler-only suite): - New TestPeftSuspendResume (8 tests): 8/8 pass against the fix. - Same 8 tests with only scheduler_v2.py reverted to main: 5/8 fail (the two "no peft_cache_manager configured" no-crash tests and the "never-started context request" phantom-registration guard test pass either way, as expected, since they assert a call did NOT happen). - Full file, 218 tests: 213/218 pass against the fix. The 5 failures reproduce identically with scheduler_v2.py reverted to main, so they are pre-existing and unrelated to this change: 2 are @pytest.mark.parametrize tests the manual runner can't invoke directly, and 3 (test_draft_reuse_uses_common_prefix_before_budgeting, test_pools_are_paired_on_one_depth_before_either_claims, test_reentry_with_a_shallower_match_rewinds_the_shared_cursor) cover unrelated draft/joint-KV-cache-reuse cursor logic this change does not touch. - ruff check / ruff format --diff / codespell: clean on both changed files. No GPU or real compiled-bindings validation was possible in this sandbox; the C++-side semantics (PeftCacheManager::markRequestDone, addRequestPeft, updateTaskState) were traced from source (cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/peftCacheManager.cpp) but never exercised through the actual compiled extension.

Walkthrough

The scheduler now pauses PEFT ownership when started requests are suspended and restores ownership when suspended generation requests resume. Tests cover eviction, context-request states, absent PEFT managers, and repeated suspend/resume cycles.

Changes

PEFT lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pause PEFT ownership on suspension `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py`	Started requests call `mark_request_done(..., pause=True)` when suspended. Tests cover self-eviction, victim eviction, and never-started versus started context requests.
Restore PEFT ownership on resumption `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/scheduler/scheduler_v2.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/executor/kv_cache/test_kv_cache_v2_scheduler.py`	Previously suspended PEFT requests call `add_request_peft` after successful allocation. Tests cover absent managers and repeated cycles without duplicate calls.

Explanation

Issue #18407 requires mark_request_done(request, pause=True) on suspension and add_request_peft(request, True) before a suspended generation request resumes. The patch implements the suspension call, gates it on peft_cache_manager and _is_started_request, and detects resumed KV state before allocation. The resume path calls add_request_peft(req) without the required True argument. The new tests assert the same argument-free call, so they do not verify the linked issue's required API transition.

Cover failed allocation after resume. PeftCacheManager::updateTaskState stores paused request IDs in an unordered_set, so the repeated mark_request_done(req, pause=True) call is idempotent. The tests do not cover allocation failure after a suspended request resumes. Add a stateful regression test that forces this transition, checks the resulting paused ownership state, and verifies that a later successful resume calls add_request_peft(req) once.
