[TRTLLM-17096][feat] runtime hooks: model opt-in engine fast paths - #20797
This PR adds RuntimeHooks (tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/runtime_hooks.py): a per-model
declaration of engine-side fast paths that the model provides itself. A model opts in by
declaring runtime_hooks. Every hook is off by default. A model that declares nothing, which
today is every model, runs the native step loop, samplers and attention metadata unchanged.
The hooks change where and how the step loop moves data, never what a forward computes.
The protocols state only what an engine call site needs; the implementations are owned by the
model.
The first user is the GLM-5.2 NVFP4 modeling_v2 target for GB300 in #20524, which builds
on this PR. This PR contains only the engine side, with no model code. It was split out of #20524 so that runtime owners can review it on its own; the files are byte-identical to that
PR's head.
Hooks
Hook
What it replaces when a model installs it
loop_on_execution_stream
Runs the overlap executor loop with the execution stream current, so the loop's own stream work and the forward are ordered on one stream.
decode_prologue (DecodePrologue)
The decode step's input prologue, as one launch. It decides on the host before any device work and returns False to keep the native prologue.
executor_events (ExecutorEvents)
Points where a model may act: after warmup and CUDA graph capture, before the overlap loop starts, and at shutdown.
There are also two small extension points:
prepended_fmha_lib_classes on an attention backend: FMHA libraries that the FMHA manager
tries before the enabled ones.
Indexer._copy_reused_topk: the DSA indexer's copy of reused top-k rows, factored out into a
method that a subclass can override.
Scope note: earlier revisions of this PR also had a step_input_stager hook (a decode step's
small host-to-device input writes issued as one launch before the graph replay) and a sampler_store_writer hook (the speculative sampler's per-slot stores and host copy as one
launch). They are dropped: #19989 on main reworked the same paths natively (step input
gather, static_input_ids, the spec sampler's store scatter and side-stream copier), so the
two hooks would no longer apply as written. Porting them onto the new native paths is left to a
follow-up.
Measured effect
Measured with the GLM-5.2 NVFP4 target on GB300 (TP8, batch 1, MTP speculative decoding,
contexts of 32K to 491K tokens). Each number is a leave-one-out or add-one A/B over several
server starts with 95 % confidence intervals.
Execution-stream loop: it was measured only together with the two dropped hooks above
(about 0.16–0.20 ms per decode step for the three combined), so this PR claims no separate
number for it.
Decode prologue:
29 serial prologue operations plus the embedding become one kernel and a norm.
The time from graph start to the first layer drops from 59.6 µs to 3.0 µs.
Each decode step is about 0.035–0.057 ms faster.
Executor events: the target uses after_warmup to keep freed host pages instead of
returning them to the OS, so host work during a decode step does not invalidate the GPU's
address translations. Each decode step is about 0.12–0.15 ms faster. The target's other
use is a health check at warmup and at shutdown, which has no per-step cost.
The two extension points cost about 0.01–0.02 ms per step in eager mode and nothing under
CUDA graph replay. An end-to-end comparison before and after introducing them was neutral.
When every hook is off
Every engine call site reads its hook and runs its original statements when the hook is off. test_runtime_hooks.py checks this statically: it walks the AST of each consumer file with
every hook at its off value and fails on any code a hook can reach outside such a branch. runtime_hooks_of returns the all-off default for a model that declares nothing, and raises
a clear TypeError for a declaration that is not a RuntimeHooks.
There are no llm_args changes and no API changes.
Note: #20306 also adds a RuntimeHooks seam in the same file, with different fields. Whichever
PR lands second will merge the two into one class; we are happy to do that on our side.
the all-off default and how a declaration is read (absent, None, class or instance
attribute, wrong type, immutability);
the default-off guarantee (the AST walk above, plus a test that the walk reports planted
violations);
every hook call site uses only its protocol's methods;
the execution-stream loop scope: a no-op when not armed, reset when the loop raises, and off
with side streams;
the decode prologue: the native prologue without a hook and when the hook declines;
the forward step's stream ordering on and off the execution-stream loop;
executor events at shutdown, with and without events.
tests/unittest/_torch/attention/test_fmha_manager.py: the library list is unchanged without
prepended libraries; a prepended library is tried first; an unavailable one is skipped.
tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/dsa/test_dsa_indexer.py: the factored-out reused
top-k copy, the decode top-k fill and the MTP shared-row store behave as the inline
statements they replace.
tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_py_executor.py and test_gpu_keepalive.py: executor
test stubs updated for the new fields.
These files are under directories already listed in the CI test lists
(unittest/_torch/executor and unittest/_torch/attention), so no test-list change is needed.
The hooks installed by a real model are exercised end to end by the GSM8K accuracy gates in #20524.
PR Checklist
PR description clearly explains what and why.
Follows the TRT-LLM coding guidelines.
Test cases are provided for new code paths.
No API change. The hooks are internal and off by default; no llm_args change.

Dev Engineer Review
Adds opt-in RuntimeHooks for decode preprocessing, executor lifecycle events, and running the overlap loop on the execution stream. Hooks default off. Models without a hook declaration use the shared default.
When the execution-stream option is active, the executor skips cross-stream waits inside the opted-in loop. The option is gated off for configurations with a drafter, guided decoder, KV connector, encoder-decoder model, or multimodal encoder item scheduling. Verify stream ordering and gating at runtime.
Adds FMHA library precedence and DSA indexer override seams. Prepended FMHA libraries are tried before registry libraries. The base DSA decode-fill hook leaves generation rows to the existing decode path. Verify model-specific overrides and attention selection in real workloads.
The supplied review findings do not provide severity counts. Source-buffer lifetime, flush-before-consumption guarantees, and real-model end-to-end correctness are not established by the supplied evidence. Performance claims are author-reported, not independently verified. Test execution results are not established by the supplied evidence.

writer, a decode prologue, executor events, and running the overlap loop
on the execution stream. Every hook defaults to off, and a model without
a declaration runs the native path unchanged.
Also add two extension points a model can use: FMHA libraries a backend
puts ahead of the enabled ones, and the DSA indexer's reused top-k copy
as an overridable method.

8 points — Attention review requires tracing deferred writes through metadata preparation, scheduler consumption and cache addressing, plus checking top-k override and FMHA compatibility. This is a substantial contract change despite localized branches.
Importance
Important — indexer.py defers scheduler work that consumes staged KV lengths, while metadata.py and kv_cache_manager_v2.py redirect cache-address transfers. These introduce sensitive write-ordering and buffer-lifetime contracts. manager.py also changes FMHA selection precedence.

Thanks for the PR; overall LGTM. I made a few comments/suggestions; happy to take another pass once addressed.
Wrt testing coverage, currently the tests cover defaults and hook routing well. Could we add a few focused behavioral tests with reference hooks?
Staging lifecycle: Check that staged writes precede the completion event and graph replay. Verify that preparation failures discard staged work and clear the active hook.
Eager/capture fallback: Verify that eager execution and initial capture reject staging and use native preparation. Include a replay-to-native transition to catch stale staging state.
Sampler writer: Compare stored and host outputs with the native path, using nonconsecutive request slots. Check native fallback when the writer declines, verify_lens is present, or the async worker is active.
I think these tests can use simple reference hooks without GLM kernels. Model-specific CUDA and E2E validation should remain in #20524.
…ay of a captured graph
The step-input window closes right before the replay of an already captured
CUDA graph. An eager step, an initial capture or a warmup would run the model
before the staged writes are issued, so the decoder runner now offers the
window only on such a replay, and StepInputStager documents the restriction.
Add behavioral tests with reference hooks: the runner window lifecycle
(staged writes issued before the completion event and the replay, discard on
a failure while the window is open), steps that are not a replay never open a
window, before_replay runs only before the replay of a captured graph, and
the speculative sampler's store writer against the native stores on
nonconsecutive slots, with its native fallbacks.

Reviewed 247c83e; LGTM overall. The replay-only guard and documentation address my first comment. The sampler parity and fallback tests also cover the requested cases.
Nice-to-have: The staging tests now verify callback order, but the reference stager only logs calls. Could it queue a CPU write and attach itself to the preparer? Check the following: committed values before replay, discarded writes after failure, and cleared hook attachments before the next native step.
…he sampler store writer
Main's one-model speculative decoding work now batches the overlap input
gathers and moves the sampler's host copies off the critical path natively,
so these two hooks no longer fit the code they replaced. Remove them and
their call sites; they can be ported onto the new native paths later.
Keep the decode prologue, the executor events, the execution-stream loop and
the two extension points (prepended FMHA libraries, the DSA indexer's
overridable top-k copy).

that `sparse_attn_indexer` returns those rows and skips native decode, while
retaining the existing default-helper test.

- Around line 214-215: Update the hook lookup in DecoderRunner.__init__ to pass
self._model to runtime_hooks_of; the runner stores the model under that
attribute, and self.model is not defined in the hierarchy.
Review comments at @tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_runtime_hooks.py:
- Around line 577-609: Update the _forward_step_executor fixture so its
model_engine stub defines route_capture, and initialize
executor.enable_spec_decode and executor.runtime_draft_len explicitly. Preserve
the existing forward stub behavior while ensuring _forward_step can read all
three attributes.

- Around line 963-968: Add a focused behavioral test in test_runtime_hooks.py
that makes the after_warmup callback raise and uses a recording context manager
for _distributed_warmup_guard. Assert the guard is active when the callback
fails, so the test verifies runtime behavior rather than only the AST structure.
Review comments at @tests/unittest/_torch/executor/test_runtime_hooks.py:
- Around line 1-11: Update the module docstring describing runtime_hooks_of to
say that selected hook call sites have off/on stand-in tests, rather than
claiming every hook’s call sites are tested with off/on stand-ins.

…_model
main renamed the decoder runner's model attribute to _model, so reading
self.model failed at runner construction for every model.
Update two tests to main's code: the GVR prior test calls
sparse_attn_indexer on a SimpleNamespace, which now needs the indexer
seams bound; the forward-step stub needs route_capture,
enable_spec_decode and runtime_draft_len.

Description
This PR adds
RuntimeHooks(tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/runtime_hooks.py): a per-modeldeclaration of engine-side fast paths that the model provides itself. A model opts in by
declaring
runtime_hooks. Every hook is off by default. A model that declares nothing, whichtoday is every model, runs the native step loop, samplers and attention metadata unchanged.
The hooks change where and how the step loop moves data, never what a forward computes.
The protocols state only what an engine call site needs; the implementations are owned by the
model.
The first user is the GLM-5.2 NVFP4
modeling_v2target for GB300 in #20524, which buildson this PR. This PR contains only the engine side, with no model code. It was split out of
#20524 so that runtime owners can review it on its own; the files are byte-identical to that
PR's head.
Hooks
loop_on_execution_streamdecode_prologue(DecodePrologue)executor_events(ExecutorEvents)There are also two small extension points:
prepended_fmha_lib_classeson an attention backend: FMHA libraries that the FMHA managertries before the enabled ones.
Indexer._copy_reused_topk: the DSA indexer's copy of reused top-k rows, factored out into amethod that a subclass can override.
Scope note: earlier revisions of this PR also had a
step_input_stagerhook (a decode step'ssmall host-to-device input writes issued as one launch before the graph replay) and a
sampler_store_writerhook (the speculative sampler's per-slot stores and host copy as onelaunch). They are dropped: #19989 on
mainreworked the same paths natively (step inputgather,
static_input_ids, the spec sampler's store scatter and side-stream copier), so thetwo hooks would no longer apply as written. Porting them onto the new native paths is left to a
follow-up.
Measured effect
Measured with the GLM-5.2 NVFP4 target on GB300 (TP8, batch 1, MTP speculative decoding,
contexts of 32K to 491K tokens). Each number is a leave-one-out or add-one A/B over several
server starts with 95 % confidence intervals.
(about 0.16–0.20 ms per decode step for the three combined), so this PR claims no separate
number for it.
after_warmupto keep freed host pages instead ofreturning them to the OS, so host work during a decode step does not invalidate the GPU's
address translations. Each decode step is about 0.12–0.15 ms faster. The target's other
use is a health check at warmup and at shutdown, which has no per-step cost.
CUDA graph replay. An end-to-end comparison before and after introducing them was neutral.
When every hook is off
Every engine call site reads its hook and runs its original statements when the hook is off.
test_runtime_hooks.pychecks this statically: it walks the AST of each consumer file withevery hook at its off value and fails on any code a hook can reach outside such a branch.
runtime_hooks_ofreturns the all-off default for a model that declares nothing, and raisesa clear
TypeErrorfor a declaration that is not aRuntimeHooks.There are no
llm_argschanges and no API changes.Note: #20306 also adds a
RuntimeHooksseam in the same file, with different fields. WhicheverPR lands second will merge the two into one class; we are happy to do that on our side.

tests/unittest/_torch/attention/test_fmha_manager.py: the library list is unchanged withoutprepended libraries; a prepended library is tried first; an unavailable one is skipped.
tests/unittest/_torch/attention/sparse/dsa/test_dsa_indexer.py: the factored-out reusedtop-k copy, the decode top-k fill and the MTP shared-row store behave as the inline

These files are under directories already listed in the CI test lists
