Description

This PR contains a one-line change that requires review from trt-llm-llmapi-devs.

Problem
The @cache decorator on enable_worker_single_process_for_tp1() causes the function to return a stale cached result instead of re-reading os.environ on each call. This breaks directory-level CI test runs where different unit tests need different process modes.

Root Cause
When CI runs directory tests like:python -m pytest unittest/_torch/speculative -k not eagle3
The first test (test_draft_len_schedule.py::test_correctness_across_batch_sizes[ngram-schedule0]) runs without setting TLLM_WORKER_USE_SINGLE_PROCESS, so enable_worker_single_process_for_tp1() caches False.

Later tests like test_dynamic_spec_decode.py::test_dynamic_spec_decode[True] set the env var to True via monkeypatch.setenv(), but enable_worker_single_process_for_tp1() always returns the cached False instead of reading the updated env var.

Impact
This creates a particularly insidious bug: test_dynamic_spec_decode requires single-process mode. When the test silently runs in multi-process mode due to the stale cache, the mock function inside the unit test has no effect—the test passes without actually validating the intended behavior. In CI directory runs, it becomes a no-op that doesn't catch regressions.

Fix
Remove the @cache decorator. The performance impact is negligible since enable_worker_single_process_for_tp1() is only called once per LLM initialization (not in the inference hot path), and os.environ.get() is a simple dictionary lookup.

NVBugs Fixed in this PR

  2. https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/5710045
  3. https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/5680911

Additional Changes
Waived test_dynamic_spec_decode (https://nvbugspro.nvidia.com/bug/5758449), which is buggy: Due to the @cache decorator, this test has been silently running in multi-process mode, making it never raise alarms in CI. Now that the decorator is removed and the test would run correctly in single-process mode, it needs to be fixed to actually work as intended.

GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

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.

This PR is intended to fix bugs for release/1.2 but is currently targeting main. Since the cutoff between 1.2 and 1.3 has already passed, I will close this and open a new PR to submit these changes directly to release/1.2.
