Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of canceled requests to better track and manage pending cancellations in the execution queue.
    • Enhanced request state management to ensure proper propagation of canceled request information across different execution configurations.
  • Performance

    • Optimized request lookup and membership check operations using more efficient data structures.

Description

A client observed a gradual slowdown of server speed during normal operation. The slowdown was root caused to failed requests, each failed request was added to a list of canceled request ids and never removed from it, hence the list of canceled request ids would grow longer and longer with each failed request. The implemented fix is to retain only active requests that have not been canceled yet at the end of _handle_canceled_requests(...).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Modified canceled request handling in PyExecutor to use set-based lookups for O(1) performance, introduced _try_cancel_request calls to attempt cancellation, and separated still-pending canceled requests from finalized ones. Queue state management now depends on the enable_attention_dp flag.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Canceled request handling optimization
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py
Refactored _handle_canceled_requests to build a set of canceled IDs for O(1) membership checks. Applies cancellation attempts via _try_cancel_request, tracks requests that remain pending in still_pending_canceled_ids, and conditionally updates executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids based on enable_attention_dp flag.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Key areas for focus:
    • Verify the set-based optimization correctly replaces all list membership checks without introducing bugs
    • Validate _try_cancel_request behavior and how it interacts with the pending tracking logic
    • Ensure the conditional queue state management based on enable_attention_dp is semantically correct for both code paths
    • Confirm that still_pending_canceled_ids lifecycle and cleanup are properly handled to avoid memory leaks

1770-1771: Good optimization: set-based lookup for O(1) performance.

Converting the canceled request IDs list to a set improves membership testing from O(n) to O(1), which is beneficial when checking many active requests.


1776-1777: Improved clarity: explicit early exit for non-canceled requests.

The explicit check and early continue for non-canceled requests improves code readability and performance by avoiding unnecessary processing.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

🧩 Analysis chain

Critical: Undefined method _try_cancel_request called.

The method _try_cancel_request is invoked at line 1779 but is not defined in this file. This will cause an AttributeError at runtime when a canceled request is encountered.

Run the following script to verify whether this method exists elsewhere in the codebase:

If the method doesn't exist, it needs to be implemented in this PR. The method should:

  • Accept a LlmRequest parameter
  • Return a boolean indicating whether cancellation succeeded
  • Handle any state-specific logic that might prevent immediate cancellation

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for _try_cancel_request definition or import
ast-grep --pattern $'def _try_cancel_request($$$) {
  $$$
}'

# Also search with ripgrep to catch any references
rg -n '_try_cancel_request' --type=py

Length of output: 111

🏁 Script executed:

```shell

# Find the class definition for py_executor to check parent classes
rg -n 'class.*PyExecutor' --type=py -A 5

# Check if there's any method definition containing 'cancel' that might be related
rg -n 'def.*cancel' --type=py -C 2

Length of output: 7568


Critical: Method _try_cancel_request is undefined and must be implemented.

The method self._try_cancel_request(request) is called at line 1779 but does not exist anywhere in the codebase. Verification confirms:

  • No definition exists in PyExecutor or any parent class
  • No imports provide this method
  • This will cause an AttributeError at runtime when a cancellation is attempted

The method needs to be implemented in PyExecutor. It should accept a LlmRequest parameter and return a boolean indicating whether cancellation succeeded.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

🧩 Analysis chain

Verify direct assignment to canceled_req_ids.

The core fix for preventing unbounded growth looks correct: by retaining only still_pending_canceled_ids (requests that couldn't be canceled yet), the list won't accumulate indefinitely. However, ensure that directly assigning a Python list to executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids is the correct approach.

Run the following script to verify the type and usage of canceled_req_ids:

Based on the relevant code snippet showing get_canceled_req_ids() returns List[int] and clear_canceled_req_ids() clears the list, direct assignment should work. However, consider whether calling a setter method would be more maintainable.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Find the definition and type of canceled_req_ids in ExecutorRequestQueue
ast-grep --pattern $'class ExecutorRequestQueue {
  $$$
}'

# Check how canceled_req_ids is initialized and used
rg -n 'canceled_req_ids' tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/executor_request_queue.py -A 3 -B 3

Now let me search for any cached references to canceled_req_ids in the py_executor.py file:

Now let me search for any potential cached references to canceled_req_ids in the py_executor.py file:

Based on my analysis of the code and Python semantics, I can now generate the rewritten review comment:


Use in-place mutation instead of direct assignment for canceled_req_ids.

Direct assignment (=) replaces the reference, breaking any other code that holds a reference to the original list object. In-place mutation keeps the same list object while updating its contents.

The class has a clear_canceled_req_ids() method (line 765-766) that mutates the list in-place, suggesting the API is designed to preserve the list object identity. For consistency and safety, replace line 1795:

self.executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids = still_pending_canceled_ids

with:

self.executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids.clear()
self.executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids.extend(still_pending_canceled_ids)

This ensures any code that previously called get_canceled_req_ids() and cached the reference will see the updated contents.

In tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/py_executor.py around lines 1793-1795, the
code assigns a new list to self.executor_request_queue.canceled_req_ids which
replaces the list object and breaks any external cached references; modify it to
mutate the existing list in-place by clearing the current list and extending it
with still_pending_canceled_ids so the original list identity is preserved and
all cached references see the updated contents.
