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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes refactor sharding layer detection from attention-name-based heuristics to a subgraph-driven classification approach. This includes introducing a new get_all_layer_subgraphs() method, extending support for MLA configurations, and marking ambiguous layer patterns as UNKNOWN rather than assuming defaults.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Sharding logic refactoring
tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/transform/library/sharding.py
Replaced ad-hoc attention detection with subgraph-based layer type resolution; introduced get_all_layer_subgraphs() for layer classification; removed attn_names and head_dim heuristics; extended detect_sharding_from_config to support "mla" in layer configurations; adjusted WeightShardingInfo.from_node calls to reduce min_local_shape coupling; improved handling for unresolved mappings by marking nodes as UNKNOWN
Node utility enhancements
tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/utils/node_utils.py
Changed extract_weight_node() return type from int to Union[Node, None] with added None-return path; introduced new public function is_parametrized_op(node: Node) -> bool; enhanced subgraph detection logic in get_layer_after_linear_node() and filter_condition() to return LayerSubgraph with UNKNOWN type when multiple linear nodes are detected; added intermediate_weight_nodes computation for downstream layer-type decisions

- Around line 2039-2055: The branch handling when len(layer_subgraph) != 1 is
unclear: ensure the control flow explicitly skips processing for non-matched
linear nodes and that the warning message matches the actual behavior. Update
the else block around the layer_subgraph lookup so that when lin_node is in
unprocessed_linear_nodes you set layer_type = LayerType.UNKNOWN and continue,
and when not in unprocessed_linear_nodes you call ad_logger.warning(...) and
then continue; i.e., move or add the continue so both paths unambiguously skip
further processing of that lin_node (referencing lin_node, layer_subgraph,
unprocessed_linear_nodes, LayerType.UNKNOWN, and ad_logger).

The _layer_norm_fwd function exists in both modules/mamba/layernorm_gated.py and modules/fla/layernorm_gated.py, but the mamba version is the intended implementation for this use case.

132-132: Defensive None handling for extract_weight_node.

The early return when weight_node is None prevents potential issues when passing None to find_get_attr_node. The return type annotation correctly reflects that this function can return None.

Note: Callers like extract_param_names_from_node (line 191) already assert that the result is non-None, so existing call sites appear compatible with this change.

Also applies to: 171-174


858-869: LGTM - Key fix for issue #10673.

This correctly handles the case where subgraph detection "spills over" layer boundaries (e.g., when unexpected RMSNorm appears between projections). Marking these as UNKNOWN ensures they fall back to conservative simple-sharding rather than applying potentially incorrect column-row sharding.

The comment explaining the MoLE scenario is helpful for future maintainers.


902-928: More conservative layer type classification - addresses the core issue.

The stricter checks are well-designed:

  1. SSM/attention layers must have exactly one corresponding op, otherwise UNKNOWN
  2. MLA detection requires the specific pattern of 2 intermediate linear + 1 attention node
  3. The intermediate_weight_nodes check (lines 926-928) catches cases like RMSNorm where unexpected weighted operations appear in the subgraph interior

This directly addresses the MiniMax model crash from issue #10673 where RMSNorm weights (non-sharded) caused shape mismatches when column-row sharding was applied.

tensorrt_llm/_torch/auto_deploy/transform/library/sharding.py (1)

2069-2073: LGTM - Extends config support for MLA layers.

Adding "mla" to the condition ensures MLA configurations from tp_plan trigger the proper layer subgraph detection, consistent with the LayerType.MLA enum value and the _process_mla_sharding function already in the codebase.
