Add memory resource control to valid_if by bdice · Pull Request #23490 · NVIDIA/cudf

bdice · 2026-07-31T02:45:18Z

Description

Update cudf::detail::valid_if to accept cudf::memory_resources. The returned validity mask uses the output resource, and its temporary valid-count scalar uses the temporary resource.

This enables cudf::label_bins, the pilot API for temporary memory-resource control, to propagate separate output and temporary resources through validity-mask construction without falling back to the current device resource.

This is a non-breaking change for existing callers of valid_if.

Part of #20780

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

Enhancements
- Improved valid_if memory management by allowing callers to specify separate resources for output and temporary allocations.
- Empty input ranges now avoid unnecessary memory allocations when using explicit resources.
- Updated interface documentation to clarify memory-resource behavior.
Tests
- Added coverage for empty and non-empty ranges.
- Verified output correctness, allocation sources, synchronization, and cleanup with requested resources.

Walkthrough

valid_if now accepts explicit output and temporary memory resources. Its allocation routing and result behavior are covered by empty-range and non-empty-range tests.

Changes

valid_if memory resources

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update valid_if allocation routing `cpp/include/cudf/detail/valid_if.cuh`	`valid_if` accepts `cudf::memory_resources`. It allocates the output null mask through the output resource and the temporary valid-count scalar through the temporary resource.
Validate explicit resource behavior `cpp/tests/bitmask/valid_if_tests.cu`	Tests cover empty and non-empty ranges, expected results, allocation routing, synchronization, and cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9492

This PR changes which memory resources are used for validity-mask construction and temporary counting, but the required unit benchmark for the changed GPU allocation path is still missing. Merge should wait for that benchmark or explicit owner acceptance.

@bdice looks like a genuine failure to build the affected test.

Teach cudf::detail::valid_if to accept cudf::memory_resources so the allocation roles inside the helper can be controlled independently. The returned validity mask now uses the output resource, while the device scalar used to accumulate the valid count uses the temporary resource. Replacing the former device_async_resource_ref parameter preserves existing source calls through memory_resources' implicit one-resource construction. Those callers retain the previous behavior: their supplied resource owns the returned mask and the current cuDF resource supplies temporary storage. Explicit two-resource callers can now avoid any fallback to global resource state. Add focused bitmask tests using the reusable memory-resource harness. The non-empty case installs an allocation-failing current resource, verifies output allocation lifetime, confirms temporary allocation activity and release, and validates the generated mask. The empty case proves the explicit two-resource path remains allocation-free and does not query the current resource. Validation performed: - ninja -C cpp/build/latest BITMASK_TEST - cpp/build/latest/gtests/BITMASK_TEST --gtest_filter='ValidIfTest.Explicit*' - test-cudf-cpp -R BITMASK_TEST - pre-commit run --all-files

…esEmptyRange (#23704) Fixes the BITMASK_TEST `ValidIfTest.ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange` failure when run with the cuda memory resource: ``` $ gtests/BITMASK_TEST --gtest_filter=ValidIfTest.ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange --rmm_mode=cuda Note: Google Test filter = ValidIfTest.ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange [==========] Running 1 test from 1 test suite. [----------] Global test environment set-up. [----------] 1 test from ValidIfTest [ RUN ] ValidIfTest.ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange unknown file: Failure C++ exception with description "/cudf/cpp/build/_deps/cccl-src/lib/cmake/libcudacxx/../../../libcudacxx/include/cuda/__driver/driver_api.h:664 invalid device context(201): Failed to synchronize a stream" thrown in the test body. [ FAILED ] ValidIfTest.ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange (3 ms) ``` The `ExplicitMemoryResourcesEmptyRange` test was calling `harness.synchronize(stream)` and `harness.expect_no_live_allocations(stream)` — both of which invoke `cuda::stream_ref::sync()` (which uses the CUDA driver API `cuStreamSynchronize`). Unlike the runtime API, the driver API requires an active CUDA context. For the empty-range case, `valid_if` makes no GPU calls at all (zero-size buffer, no kernel), so the context is never initialized, causing `CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT (201)`. The fix removes both sync calls — they're unnecessary because an empty range produces no GPU work and no allocations. The existing `.total == 0` counter assertions are stricter than what `expect_no_live_allocations` checked `.value == 0`, so test coverage is preserved.
