Summary

  • preserve an inherited read-only freeze mode when logical data is imported through nested stackable contexts
  • prevent false dependencies between sibling graph and conditional scopes that only share read-only inputs
  • add structural CUDA graph regressions and retain a shared-write ordering control

Problem

Nested imports selected rw from the logical data's root capability even when the parent scope had already frozen that data as read-only. Popping the first sibling therefore published a write prerequisite, producing false child_0 -> child_1 and reset_0 -> conditional_1 edges.

Test plan

  • Ordinary sibling child graphs sharing one read-only input have no transitive dependency
  • Sibling conditional loops sharing one read-only input have no cross-conditional dependency
  • Siblings sharing writable data remain ordered
  • Existing stackable graph-scope, conditional, replicated-import, read-only, and write-back tests
  • cuGraph composed centrality at scale 14 / EF4: STF 2.925 ms vs explicit conditional graphs 2.830 ms
  • Formatting and git diff --check

Keep inherited read-only data frozen as read-only so independent sibling graph scopes do not acquire false ordering dependencies.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved read-only access behavior across frozen imported scopes.
    • Improved dependency handling between sibling scopes, allowing shared data to be ordered correctly while independent operations proceed separately.
    • Improved ordering for nested, conditional, and root-level read-only operations.
    • Prevented incompatible access transitions in nested scopes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for sibling-scope ordering, independent and nested operations, shared-data dependencies, root-level reads, conditional execution, and graph-scope behavior.

Walkthrough

Changes

validate_access now propagates read-only access through frozen imported contexts and rejects incompatible access transitions. CUDASTF tests cover sibling graph-scope dependencies, nested scopes, shared data, root-created read scopes, conditional while graphs, diagnostics, and test registration.

The test now captures each graph's dependency structure once in a graph_topology helper (nodes, per-node direct dependencies, type queries) and runs all reachability checks on the cached map; independence checks also require a common transitive ancestor so they cannot pass vacuously, and conditional bodies must contain a kernel (27af4e1). If the better mechanism you had in mind is something else from past work, happy to adopt it. -- Grégoire

Review by Grégoire (posting from Andrei's account). The fix is correct for the targeted path: a read access whose ancestor import is frozen read-only now inherits read instead of escalating to rw, so popping the first sibling no longer publishes a write prerequisite. The structural topology test is the right instrument; the transitive walk traverses intermediate nodes of any type, so a false edge routed through an upload or allocation node is still caught.

Inline comments below. One question on the header (the write-through-read-only-import case), one simplification, and a set of test hardenings. Each test comment is written as a self-contained spec so it can be handed to an implementation agent as-is.

- capture each graph's dependency structure once (graph_topology) instead
  of re-querying the CUDA API per reachability walk
- expect_independent also requires a common transitive ancestor so the
  check cannot pass vacuously if the scopes stop sharing their input
- add multi-hop coverage: read-only import propagated through an
  intermediate scope that never touches the data
- pin the eager-rw root import behavior (two root readers serialize) so
  a future policy change flips a test deliberately
- require non-empty conditional bodies in the while-scope case
- dump a verbose DOT of the graph on any topology check failure

The new-import branch of validate_access now enforces the same
access_mode_permits rule as the already-imported branch: a mutating
request through an import frozen read-only aborts with a diagnostic
instead of silently pushing rw through it. With the check in place,
inherited_read_only reduces to the import freeze being read.

The ancestor walk and the push-path construction were the same loop
written twice; build the path while locating the deepest import.

Also document why root data still imports rw on a read access (eager
write capability versus sibling serialization).

A failed topology check no longer writes files by default; it names the
CUDASTF_DUMP_GRAPHS switch in the failure message instead, matching the
dump conventions in stackable_ctx_impl. CI stays file-free.

Fix the toolkit-version mismatch in `cudax/test/stf/stackable/sibling_scope_dependencies.cu`. Reproduce narrowly with the `cudax.test.stf.stackable.sibling_scope_dependencies` build target on CUDA 12.9 or 13.0. Keep `test_while_graph_scopes` and its independence check enabled from CUDA 12.4, but guard `expect_nonempty_conditional_bodies` and its call with `_CCCL_CTK_AT_LEAST(13, 2)`, unless an equivalent pre-13.2 CUDA API can perform the check. Verify the exact API introduction against installed headers, implement the smallest portable fix, then run focused builds with representative CUDA 12.9, 13.0, and 13.2-or-newer configurations.

2. sibling_scope_dependencies: graph_scopes topology check aborts · 4 jobs

Explanation: All four CUDA 13.3 test jobs compile successfully but abort in the first `graph_scopes` topology expectation. Because every predicate is reported through the same `check_or_dump` line and the DOT files are not among the collected artifacts, the logs cannot distinguish an unexpected node count, sibling dependency, or missing common ancestor.

Diagnose and fix `cudax.test.stf.stackable.sibling_scope_dependencies` on CUDA 13.3. Reproduce only this test with `CUDASTF_DUMP_GRAPHS=1`, inspect `sibling_scope_dependencies-graph_scopes.dot`, and temporarily make `expect_independent` report which predicate failed plus the sibling and dependency counts. Verify that the `validate_access` changes propagate an outer read-only freeze into both sibling graph scopes without serializing them. If the siblings are ordered, correct the import/freeze mode or lifetime in `stackable_ctx.cuh`; if the graph is independent but the test selects extra graph nodes or incorrectly requires a common ancestor, revise the test to identify the two intended sibling nodes and use a non-vacuous assertion matching actual CUDA graph semantics. Run the focused test with CUDA 13.3 under representative GCC and Clang configurations and, where available, both H100 and T4.

The previous pin pointed at an unrelated snapshot of the fork that lacks
the two fixes the composed centrality experiment requires. Pin the tip
of lab/cugraph-stf-sibling-fixes instead, which combines NVIDIA/cccl#11041
(stream-affine executable graph cache) and NVIDIA/cccl#11036 (preserve
nested read-only imports) on upstream main, so a fresh checkout of this
branch reproduces the measured composed-centrality behavior.

…ions

Two CI failure groups from run 33108185275, plus two review questions:

- cudaGraphNodeGetParams only exists from CUDA 13.2 (it broke every 12.9
  and 13.0 build), so expect_nonempty_conditional_bodies and its call are
  now guarded by _CCCL_CTK_AT_LEAST(13, 2). count_kernel_nodes_recursive
  only needs cudaGraphChildGraphNodeGetGraph and moves out of the guard.

- The common-ancestor requirement in expect_independent aborted the 13.3
  test jobs: the shared input is imported by the enclosing scope, whose
  transfer runs in the enclosing context's stream, so it is not a node of
  the inspected graph and sibling nodes correctly have no in-graph
  ancestor. Non-vacuity is now established by requiring real kernel work
  inside each sibling child graph (recursively), with the per-test value
  checks proving both siblings consumed the shared input.

- Every topology predicate now reports a distinct message through
  check_or_dump; previously all failures pointed at the same EXPECT line
  and could not be told apart in CI logs.

- Drop static from file-scope test helpers to match the convention of the
  other STF tests (review question on test_nested_graph_scopes).

Both access_mode_permits checks in validate_access now report through
the house EXPECT (always-on, message-carrying, throwing with source
location) instead of fprintf+abort, per review; the failure becomes a
catchable exception carrying the runtime mode names. Direct include of
unittest.cuh added.

Per review, the topology test's DOT dump is removed outright: the
distinct per-predicate diagnostics move into the EXPECT message and the
env-var machinery goes away.
