Motivation

We have transitioned our GPU CI testing infrastructure from dynamically provisioned RunPod instances to a dedicated, bare-metal 8x H100 SXM5 server. This migration aims to reduce CI environment setup overhead, improve testing stability, and fully leverage the high-bandwidth inter-connect (NVSwitch) for multi-GPU kernel validations.

Key Changes

This PR completely overhauls the GPU CI workflow (.github/workflows/gpu-ci.yml and ci/run_gpu_ci.sh) to support safe, concurrent job executions on a single shared host:

  • Deprecated RunPod API: Removed all legacy logic related to RunPod dynamic pod creation, SSH key provisioning, and GPU architecture matrices.
  • Self-Hosted Runner Target: Updated the workflow to target [self-hosted, linux, x64, h100-sxm-8x].
  • Concurrent Scheduling via flock: Implemented an advisory file-locking mechanism to dynamically allocate continuous GPU pairs (e.g., 0 1, 2 3, 4 5, 6 7) for parallel PR jobs. If all pairs are occupied, the script blocks and retries every 5 seconds.
  • Process & Environment Isolation:
    • Enforced strict hardware isolation by exporting dynamically assigned CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES.
    • Tests are now executed via torchrun --nproc_per_node=2.
    • Each CI job spins up in an isolated temporary worktree and Python venv to prevent cross-run pollution.
  • Robust Cleanup (Safety): Added comprehensive Bash trap handlers for EXIT, INT, TERM, and HUP. This ensures that even if a workflow is manually cancelled, the process group is terminated, advisory locks are safely released (retaining the inode), and temporary workspaces are purged without causing deadlocks for subsequent jobs.

Testing

  • Manual verification of the flock allocation logic on the local host.
  • End-to-end CI trigger via GitHub Actions (Draft mode) to verify runner connectivity and concurrent job isolation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GPU CI now runs on a shared self-hosted eight-H100 runner. The script validates the host, allocates a GPU pair, prepares an isolated PR environment, configures CUDA, and runs distributed tests locally instead of using RunPod and SSH.

Changes

Local H100 GPU CI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Self-hosted workflow setup
.github/workflows/gpu-ci.yml
The workflow uses a labeled eight-H100 runner, read-only permissions, a 180-minute timeout, and shared local lock and workspace paths.
GPU validation and pair allocation
ci/run_gpu_ci.sh
The script validates required tools and GPU hardware, allocates one of four persistent GPU pairs with flock, records ownership, and releases resources during cleanup or termination.
Isolated PR execution
ci/run_gpu_ci.sh
The script checks out the requested PR revision into an isolated worktree, creates a job-local virtual environment, installs dependencies, and configures H100-specific CUDA and extension builds.
Local distributed test execution
ci/run_gpu_ci.sh
The script verifies GPU visibility, runs the smoke test, and launches the TP=2 pytest suite in a separate process group. The entry point sequences validation, allocation, setup, and testing.

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

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 127cc

This change allows revised pull-request code to run on a persistent self-hosted GPU server without fresh approval and can permanently strand GPU capacity when child processes inherit scheduler locks. The PR is not merge-ready until both issues are fixed.

Consider the aggregate compile load across concurrent jobs.

MAX_JOBS defaults to 8 per job. Four jobs can hold the four GPU pairs at once, which gives up to 32 concurrent nvcc processes on one host. That can exhaust host RAM and slow all jobs. Set MAX_JOBS in the workflow to a value derived from cores divided by four, or gate compilation behind the scheduler lock.

Derive the GPU index range from EXPECTED_GPU_COUNT.

Line 114 compares the detected count against the configurable EXPECTED_GPU_COUNT, but line 118 iterates a fixed seq 0 7. If an operator sets EXPECTED_GPU_COUNT to a smaller value, the count check passes and the loop then queries absent GPU indices. nvidia-smi fails, and set -e aborts with an opaque error instead of the intended die message.

Bound the GPU-pair wait loop.

Fetch only the PR commit instead of cloning full history.

Line 180 clones the whole fork history, and line 181 then fetches the single commit that is actually used. Up to four jobs run concurrently on this host, so each run pays the full-history cost for nothing. Initialise an empty repository and fetch the commit directly.

♻️ Proposed shallow fetch
-    git clone --no-checkout "$PR_REPO_URL" "$SOURCE_DIR"
-    git -C "$SOURCE_DIR" fetch --depth=1 origin "$PR_SHA"

+    git -C "$SOURCE_DIR" fetch --depth=1 "$PR_REPO_URL" "$PR_SHA"
     git -C "$SOURCE_DIR" checkout --detach FETCH_HEAD

Fetching an arbitrary SHA requires the server to allow it. GitHub allows PR head commits, so this works for fork pull requests. Confirm it on a draft run before merge.

Consider holding the GPU pair only for the test phase.

acquire_gpu_pair runs before the clone, the venv creation and the extension build. Those steps take minutes and need no exclusive GPU. On a host with four pairs, this lowers GPU utilisation.

A reorder needs one split first: configure_gpu_isolation currently exports both the build variables (FORCE_CUDA, TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST, MAX_JOBS) and the allocation variable (CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES). Export the build variables before create_job_venv, then acquire the pair and export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES right before run_tests. Note that line 197 asserts CUDA availability during venv setup, so it would see all eight GPUs; keep that assertion device-count agnostic.

Install dependencies before the editable build.

Line 201 builds the CUDA extension with --no-build-isolation, so every build requirement must already be importable. numpy is installed on line 202, after that build. The build currently succeeds only because the host site-packages happen to provide numpy and setuptools. It breaks when the runner image changes.

Install the test and build dependencies first, then build the project.

♻️ Proposed ordering
-  "$PYTHON" -m pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -e "$SOURCE_DIR"

+    "transformers==5.13.1" pytest
+  "$PYTHON" -m pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -e "$SOURCE_DIR"

Note that --no-deps also skips the project's declared dependencies, so line 202 duplicates them by hand. Consider installing an extras group from the project metadata instead, so the list cannot drift.

Require approval for every pull request revision.

pull_request_target triggers this job on synchronize, and the persistent needs-gpu-ci label gates every run. ci/run_gpu_ci.sh fetches the PR revision, installs it with pip install -e, and runs its tests on the self-hosted runner. A later fork commit can therefore execute without new approval.

Add a required-reviewer environment and remove needs-gpu-ci on every synchronize event. The current contents: read permission does not protect the runner host from untrusted test code.

Close the lock descriptors before you run untrusted test code.

acquire_gpu_pair opens fds 5..9 with shell redirections. Shell redirections are not close-on-exec, so torchrun, pytest and every descendant inherit the held pair-lock descriptor. flock ownership belongs to the open file description, and that description is shared across fork and preserved across exec.

If any descendant outlives this script, the pair lock stays held after cleanup runs flock -u and closes the parent descriptors. That GPU pair then never becomes available again. The symptom is a permanent "All GPU pairs are busy" state with no owner file to explain it. PR test code can also cause this on purpose, because it controls what processes it leaves behind.

Close the descriptors for every child that runs project code.

Apply the same treatment to the pip install calls in create_job_venv, because build backends also run PR-controlled code.

Could we avoid running PR-controlled code directly on a persistent self-hosted runner? A worktree, venv, and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES don't sandbox the process, so PR code can still access the host, other jobs, and other GPUs. This should use a disposable runner/VM with real OS-level isolation.

Agreed. A worktree, venv, and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES do not provide host isolation. We will not run PR-controlled code directly on the persistent H100 runner. Until a disposable VM/runner is available, the persistent runner will be restricted to post-merge main validation.

This label survives synchronize events. Once a PR is labeled, the author can push another commit and have unreviewed code run on the self-hosted runner. Can we clear the label on every synchronize event and require approval again for the new SHA?

Agreed. The label must approve a specific PR SHA, not the PR indefinitely. We will clear needs-gpu-ci on every synchronize event and run the GPU job only when the label is explicitly reapplied, requiring approval for each new commit.

It looks like this new workflow hasn't actually run in GitHub Actions yet. The current GPU checks still use the old RunPod matrix and deleted RunPod steps.

Correct. Since this uses pull_request_target, this PR is still using the workflow from the base branch, so the existing runs are the old RunPod workflow and do not validate this change. After the isolated runner setup is in place, we will validate the new workflow with a controlled test PR.

@inaniloquentee @maxiaosong1124 Provisioning a disposable, OS-isolated H100 VM/node requires infrastructure support from SNS and is not currently available. Rather than run PR-controlled code on the persistent H100 host, we will defer the local H100 migration and retain the existing per-job RunPod GPU CI for needs-gpu-ci PR validation.
We will also reset the needs-gpu-ci label on every new PR SHA so each GPU run requires explicit re-approval. We will revisit the local H100 runner once disposable-node support is available.
