Summary

  • Root cause: open_ipc_memory read/wrote cudaIpcMemHandle_t.reserved, which cuda-python 13.4 removed, while requirements.txt permits any cuda-python>=13 — so multi-GPU AllReduce workspace allocation aborts on a stock install.
  • Fix: Exchange the handle as its raw CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE struct bytes via getPtr() (ctypes.string_at/memmove), one path valid across the whole supported range with no version branch; reused byte-identically from unlanded sibling 868f983303.
  • Original test: pytest "tests/integration/defs/perf/test_perf_sanity.py::test_e2e[aggr_upload-glm5_fp4_2_nodes_grace_blackwell-glm5_fp4_tep8_mtp3_8k1k]" --output-dir=build/perf_output -v
  • Automated fix generated by repair-bot

Test plan

  • Verify fix on the same GPU type as the original failure
  • Check for regressions in related tests

Dev Engineer Review

open_ipc_memory now exchanges CUDA IPC handles as CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE raw bytes. This removes dependence on the reserved field removed in cuda-python 13.4 and supports the documented getPtr() API across supported versions. Verify multi-GPU AllReduce allocation and handle round trips on cuda-python 13.2.0 and 13.4.1.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_ipc_utils.py: Verify multi-GPU AllReduce workspace allocation, IPC handle round trips, and error handling with supported cuda-python versions. The removed reserved-field path requires regression coverage on cuda-python 13.4.

cuda-python 13.4 removed the `reserved` field from `cudaIpcMemHandle_t`,
leaving `getPtr()` as the only accessor. `open_ipc_memory` read and wrote
that field directly, so every multi-GPU run aborted while allocating the
AllReduce workspace with:

  AttributeError: 'cuda.bindings.runtime.cudaIpcMemHandle_t' object has no
  attribute 'reserved'

requirements.txt pins only `cuda-python>=13`, so 13.4 is an allowed
resolution and the crash reproduces on a stock install.

Exchange the handle as its raw CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE struct bytes via
`getPtr()`. Both 13.2.0 and 13.4.1 expose `getPtr()` and a 64-byte
CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE with a byte-identical round-trip, so a single path
covers the supported range without a version branch.

Walkthrough

The CUDA IPC handle exchange now uses ctypes to gather CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE raw bytes and reconstruct remote cudaIpcMemHandle_t objects. The previous reserved-field exchange was removed.

Changes

CUDA IPC serialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raw handle exchange
tensorrt_llm/_ipc_utils.py
The code gathers raw CUDA IPC handle bytes through getPtr() and copies each remote byte sequence into a new cudaIpcMemHandle_t. Local pointer handling remains unchanged.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37ed9

A regression in the CUDA IPC compatibility path could again prevent multi-GPU workspace initialization on affected cuda-python versions. Add the focused regression test before merging.

Add a regression test for raw CUDA IPC handle exchange.

No test exercises the changed path that extracts CUDA_IPC_HANDLE_SIZE bytes through getPtr(), all-gathers them, reconstructs cudaIpcMemHandle_t, and passes the reconstructed handle to cudaIpcOpenMemHandle. Add a focused test under tests/** using a handle type without reserved, and assert that the reconstructed handle data is byte-identical before opening it. This can catch a regression that breaks multi-GPU workspace initialization on affected cuda-python versions.
