GitHub Bot Help

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental)]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

For guidance on mapping tests to stage names, see docs/source/reference/ci-overview.md
and the scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py helper.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce thread-safety enhancements to the KV cache manager by adding mutex locking mechanisms around critical sections accessing shared data structures, and re-enable two previously skipped integration tests.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
KV Cache Manager Thread-Safety
cpp/include/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.h, cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.cpp
Added mNextBlocksMutex member to WindowBlockManager in header. Implemented mutex locking in KVCacheBlock::findMatchingBlock to protect mNextBlocks access and in WindowBlockManager::findNewContextBlock to protect mCachedBlocksRoot access.
Test Configuration
tests/integration/test_lists/waives.txt
Removed two test skip entries for Llama 3.1 8B and Qwen 3 30B test cases, enabling their execution.

425-462: Critical: mNextBlocksMutex is not a member of KVCacheBlock.

The mutex mNextBlocksMutex is declared in WindowBlockManager (see header lines 1040-1042), but findMatchingBlock() is a method of KVCacheBlock. This will fail to compile because KVCacheBlock has no member named mNextBlocksMutex.

The mutex should be declared in the KVCacheBlock class since it protects mNextBlocks, which is a member of KVCacheBlock. Additionally, since findMatchingBlock() is a const method (line 426), the mutex must be declared as mutable.

🔧 Suggested fix in header file (KVCacheBlock class)

Add the mutex to KVCacheBlock class instead of WindowBlockManager:

 class KVCacheBlock
 {
     // ... existing members ...
 
     // Hash for the event manager
     size_t mHash;
+
+    // Mutex for thread-safe access to mNextBlocks
+    mutable std::mutex mNextBlocksMutex;
 };

And remove lines 1040-1042 from WindowBlockManager.


1173-1196: Add mutable qualifier to mCachedBlocksRootMutex declaration.

The findNewContextBlock() method is const but locks mCachedBlocksRootMutex at line 1181. A const method cannot modify member variables unless they are declared mutable. In C++, locking a mutex modifies its internal state, so the mutex at line 1024 in the header must be declared as mutable std::mutex mCachedBlocksRootMutex; instead of std::mutex mCachedBlocksRootMutex;. Without this change, the code will fail to compile.

🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In `@cpp/include/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.h`:
- Around line 1040-1042: The mutex mNextBlocksMutex is declared in
WindowBlockManager but protects KVCacheBlock::mNextBlocks and is used by
KVCacheBlock::findMatchingBlock() (a const method); remove the mNextBlocksMutex
declaration from WindowBlockManager and add it as a member of the KVCacheBlock
class near the mNextBlocks declaration (make it mutable so it can be locked from
the const findMatchingBlock() method) so locking occurs on the correct object.

1-15: Update copyright year to include 2025 or 2026.

Per coding guidelines, source files should contain an NVIDIA copyright header with the year of latest meaningful modification. The current header shows 2022-2024, but this file is being modified in 2026.
