Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional sliding-window draft KV support for DFlash, DSpark, and DFlash2, with a configurable window size.
    • Added CPU cache support for retaining and restoring windowed draft state across prefill and decode.
    • Added command-line options to enable windowed storage and set the retained-token count.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of invalid cache indexes during KV copies and cache transfers.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for windowed KV storage, attention, cache restoration, and page transfers.

Walkthrough

Adds optional windowed MTP draft KV storage for supported models. The change integrates window state with decode attention, request checkpoints, and CPU-cache page transfers. It also adds runtime configuration and validation for windowed mode.

Changes: Windowed MTP

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime configuration
lightllm/server/api_cli.py, lightllm/server/core/objs/start_args_type.py, lightllm/server/api_start.py, lightllm/common/basemodel/basemodel.py, lightllm/common/req_manager/*, lightllm/common/state_cache_manager/*, lightllm/utils/config_utils.py, lightllm/utils/envs_utils.py, lightllm/utils/kv_cache_utils.py, lightllm/utils/profile_max_tokens.py, lightllm/server/core/objs/req.py, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/mode_backend/base_backend.py, lightllm/models/qwen3_dflash2/model.py, lightllm/models/qwen3_5_dflash/model.py, lightllm/models/qwen3_5_dspark/model.py
Adds mtp_windowed and mtp_window_size options and validates supported modes, positive window sizes, and unquantized KV. Windowed mode uses hybrid cache metadata and request handling. Configuration loading is shared, and memory profiling accounts for window-state reservation.
Window state and request lifecycle
lightllm/common/state_cache_manager/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/common/state_cache_manager/linear_att.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/mem_manager.py, lightllm/common/req_manager/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/common/req_manager/linear_att.py
Adds window-state configuration and buffers, per-request ring-buffer KV storage, checkpoint operations, and page-layout helpers. Request managers reset, save, and restore draft-window state.
CPU-cache page transfer
lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/operator/hybrid.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/operator/linear_att.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/operator/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/qwen3next_mem_manager.py, lightllm/common/kv_cache_mem_manager/mem_manager.py, lightllm/common/basemodel/triton_kernel/hybrid_cpu_cache_copy.py, lightllm/common/basemodel/triton_kernel/kv_cache_offload.py, lightllm/common/basemodel/triton_kernel/destindex_copy_kv.py
Adds shared GPU/CPU cache-transfer workflows and windowed MTP page transfers. Transfer kernels skip invalid indexes, and memory managers copy window state with attention-state pages.
Draft KV commit and decode attention
lightllm/common/basemodel/triton_kernel/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/common/basemodel/attention/fa3/windowed_mtp.py, lightllm/models/qwen3_dflash/*, lightllm/models/qwen3_dflash2/*, lightllm/server/router/model_infer/mtp_speculative/proposers/*, unit_tests/common/test_windowed_mtp.py
Adds kernels to prepare window write indexes and pack history with noise KV. DFlash and DSpark proposer paths commit target hidden features to the window store. FA3 decode consumes the packed KV, and tests cover packing, graph replay, page transfers, and checkpoint-copy ordering.

Merge dflash_config before constructing the window cache configuration.

The Qwen3.5 DFlash and DSpark adapters use Qwen3 draft checkpoints and unconditionally merge dflash_config. However, load_window_state_config reads the draft checkpoint and skips that merge for the dflash and dspark paths unless the draft model_type is qwen3_5 or qwen3_5_text. If dflash_config changes the effective KV heads, head dimension, or layer count, the allocated window cache can differ from the tensors written by Qwen3DFlashModel.commit_window_kv, causing a runtime shape or indexing failure.

Export the memory manager before DP prompt-cache initialization when --mtp_windowed is enabled.

With --mtp_windowed --enable_dp_prompt_cache_fetch and dp > 1 in non-PD mode, init_dp_kv_shared() runs before the draft model initializes and before any deferred export. Each rank then attempts MemoryManager.loads_from_shm(rank_idx) without a corresponding write_to_shm, so clean startup can fail. api_start.py does not reject this combination.

Move init_dp_kv_shared() after the windowed export, and include DP prompt-cache fetch in that export condition.

Reject windowed MTP for deepseek_v4 targets.

The DeepSeek-V4 native SWA ring is allocated, but its cache layout does not include the DSpark draft layers when mtp_windowed is enabled. DeepseekV4DSparkModel reuses the target request manager, and its draft stages call req_manager.req_to_swa[self.layer_num_]. The target-only allocation can therefore raise an out-of-bounds error during DSpark execution. Add a deepseek_v4 target-model guard to the args.mtp_windowed validation.

Review comment at @lightllm/server/api_start.py around lines 220 - 224:
Extend the args.mtp_windowed validation to reject windowed MTP when the target
model is deepseek_v4, before the native SWA cache is used with DSpark draft
layers. Keep the existing window-size, mode, and KV-type checks unchanged.

Apply the black reformat. The pre-commit check fails on this file.

The black hook reformatted this file and exited with code 1. Line 30 is the likely cause, because it is longer than the repository line limit. Line 43 and line 47 use 2 ** 35, while line 169 uses the hugged form head_dim**-0.5. Run the hook, review the diff, and commit the result.
