By default,
torch.nn.functional.linear
is replaced withLinearFunctionForZeroStage3
. However,LinearFunctionForZeroStage3
causes memory leak in some usecases.In PEFT's LoRA mentioned in #3002, the weight is passed after 'transpose'.
LinearFunctionForZeroStage3 saves the weight in a map and the key is the object's ID. But a new transposed weight is created and the ID changes for each iteration. So the saved weights will increase through iterations.
This PR simply saves weight and bias in the context instead of the IDs.
I don't understand the intention of using IDs to store the weight. If saving IDs instead of tensors is a crucial part of this module, we need another approach to fix this.
