On systems with multiple Intel XPU GPUs (e.g., Intel Arc), the UR Level Zero adapter crashes in libur_adapter_level_zero_v2.so during ur_device_handle_t_::initialize — a null function pointer dereference at oneapi-src/unified-runtime device.cpp:2065. The UR adapter checks UrPlatform->zeDriverExtensionMap for ZE_DEVICE_VECTOR_SIZES_EXT_NAME (present), then calls zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt through the Level Zero DDI table (ze_device_dditable_t.pfnGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt), but the DDI table function pointer is nullptr — a version mismatch between the Level Zero loader and driver where the driver reports extension support but the loader doesn't populate the function pointer. ZE_CALL_NOCHECK has no null guard, so it calls 0x0 → SEGFAULT. This occurs even with tensor_parallel_size=1 because the first torch.xpu call in the worker triggers Level Zero to enumerate and initialize all visible devices.

The upstream fix should be in oneapi-src/unified-runtime: add a null check before calling zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt, or use zeDriverGetExtensionFunctionAddress to load the function pointer explicitly (as the adapter already does for other extensions at line 2204).

At the vllm level, the fix sets ZE_AFFINITY_MASK (XPU's equivalent of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES) to isolate each worker to its assigned physical device before any torch.xpu access. This is the standard XPU device isolation mechanism — the same pattern vllm already uses with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES for CUDA — and also avoids the upstream UR bug by reducing visible devices to 1.

Changes

  • xpu_worker.py (key fix): Set ZE_AFFINITY_MASK at the start of init_device() before any torch.xpu call, mapping local_rank to a physical device via device_id_to_physical_device_id(). After setting the mask, only one device is visible so device index 0 is always used. This handles both TP=1 (UniProcExecutor) and TP>1 (MultiprocExecutor) paths.

  • multiproc_executor.py: Additionally set ZE_AFFINITY_MASK per-worker before proc.start() so the child process inherits device isolation from the start. Restored in finally block.

  • core.py: Remove XPU-specific pass in _set_visible_devices() — was preventing ZE_AFFINITY_MASK from being set in the Ray DP engine core actor path.

  • ray_executor.py: Add ZE_AFFINITY_MASK to WORKER_SPECIFIC_ENV_VARS so it isn't propagated from driver to all workers.

…MASK

When running multiple Intel XPU GPUs in multiprocessing mode, worker
processes would concurrently initialize all Level Zero devices, causing
a crash in libur_adapter_level_zero_v2.so during device initialization.

Changes:
- multiproc_executor.py: Temporarily set ZE_AFFINITY_MASK per-worker
  before spawning to isolate each worker to its own device
- xpu_worker.py: Use device index 0 when ZE_AFFINITY_MASK restricts
  visibility to a single device (local_rank >= device_count)
- core.py: Enable ZE_AFFINITY_MASK setup for XPU in Ray DP path
  (previously a no-op)
- ray_executor.py: Add ZE_AFFINITY_MASK to worker-specific env vars

The crash occurs even with tensor_parallel_size=1 because Level Zero

accessed. Set ZE_AFFINITY_MASK in XPUWorker.init_device() before any
torch.xpu call to restrict Level Zero to a single device per worker.

You're right — the root cause is that Level Zero tries to initialize ALL devices on the system when any torch.xpu call is made, and the driver crashes during ur_device_handle_t_::initialize regardless of tensor_parallel_size. This happens even with TP=1 because UniProcExecutor is used (no multiprocessing), and ZE_AFFINITY_MASK was never set.

Fixed in db1e07d: XPUWorker.init_device() now sets ZE_AFFINITY_MASK to isolate to the assigned physical device before any torch.xpu access. This prevents Level Zero from initializing all devices. Works for both TP=1 and TP>1 paths.

The urDeviceGetInfo symbol not appearing in nm -D output means it's not exported as a dynamic symbol from libur_adapter_level_zero_v2.so.0. In the Unified Runtime (UR) adapter architecture, device info functions are typically accessed through function pointer tables (vtables) rather than direct symbol exports. The UR loader discovers adapter entry points via urGetAdapterProcAddrTable / urGetDeviceProcAddrTable which return structs of function pointers. So urDeviceGetInfo exists as an internal implementation but is dispatched through the UR loader's function table mechanism, not as a directly exported symbol.

The backtrace shows:

#0  0x0000000000000000          ← calling through a NULL function pointer
#1  std::_Function_handler<..., ur_device_handle_t_::initialize(...)::$_11>
#2  __pthread_once_slow

Here's what's happening:

  1. __pthread_once_slow (frame Add attention module architecture research report #2): Device initialization is wrapped in pthread_once — a one-time init guard. This means the crash happens during the very first device property query for a particular device.

  2. ur_device_handle_t_::initialize (frame Fix NameError on non-CUDA platforms from unguarded fusion pass usage #1): The UR Level Zero adapter is initializing a device handle. During this, it queries device extension properties — specifically _ze_device_vector_width_properties_ext_t (vector width extension). The lambda $_11 is a callback that processes this extension struct.

  3. 0x0000000000000000 (frame #0): The lambda calls through a null function pointer. This happens because the Level Zero driver for Intel Arc Pro B60 doesn't fully populate the extension function pointer for _ze_device_vector_width_properties_ext_t. The UR adapter assumes the extension is supported and calls through the pointer without a null check — but the driver left it as nullptr.

Why ZE_AFFINITY_MASK fixes it: When multiple devices are visible, the UR adapter initializes all device handles. If one device's driver doesn't properly populate extension function pointers, the null dereference happens during that device's pthread_once initialization. By setting ZE_AFFINITY_MASK to expose only the single device the worker needs, we prevent the UR adapter from ever initializing the problematic device handle.

@copilot It doesn't make sense. All the devices are same ARC device. So all the device handle should populate same extension function. There is no case which you mentioned"When multiple devices are visible, the UR adapter initializes all device handles. If one device's driver doesn't properly populate extension function pointers, the null dereference happens during that device's pthread_once initialization. "

You're correct — my previous explanation was wrong. Since all devices are identical Arc Pro B60s, they use the same driver and would have the same extension support. The null function pointer isn't about one device being different from another.

The more accurate explanation: the crash is a bug in the UR Level Zero adapter's multi-device initialization path. When multiple identical devices are visible, ur_device_handle_t_::initialize is called for each device handle. The null function pointer at 0x0000000000000000 in the $_11 lambda (which processes _ze_device_vector_width_properties_ext_t) indicates a bug in how the adapter sets up the extension property query chain when processing multiple device handles — likely a shared or improperly reinitialized structure in the pNext chain, or incorrect function pointer table setup during multi-device enumeration. This is an UR adapter bug, not a device driver difference.

Setting ZE_AFFINITY_MASK works because it reduces visible devices to 1, which avoids the multi-device initialization code path entirely and sidesteps the UR adapter bug.

level-zero 包名在你的系统上不存在,因为你用的是 kobuk-team/intel-graphics-staging PPA,包名可能不同。先查找实际的包名:

# 找到提供 libze_loader 的包
dpkg -S /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1.20.3

# 或搜索可用的 level-zero 相关包
apt list 2>/dev/null | grep -i "level-zero\|libze"

常见的包名变体有 libze-loader1、libze1、intel-level-zero-gpu 等。找到实际包名后:

sudo apt install --only-upgrade <实际包名>

如果 PPA 中没有更新版本,可以直接从 GitHub 下载最新的 .deb:

包名确认了:libze1 版本 1.20.3-1(loader),libze-intel-gpu1 版本 26.05.37020.3(驱动)。驱动比 loader 新,所以驱动报告支持 ZE_DEVICE_VECTOR_SIZES_EXT_NAME 但 loader 1.20.3 不认识这个扩展。

Ubuntu plucky 仓库中 libze1 最新只有 1.20.3-1,没有更新的版本。需要从 GitHub 手动安装更新的 Level Zero:

# 下载 1.21+ 版本(需要包含 zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)
# 从 https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases 找到适合的版本
wget https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases/download/v1.21.1/level-zero_1.21.1+u22.04_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i level-zero_1.21.1+u22.04_amd64.deb

安装后验证:

import ctypes
ze = ctypes.CDLL("libze_loader.so.1")
fn = ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt
print(f"Found: {fn}")  # 应该输出函数地址而非报错

如果 .deb 版本不兼容 plucky,也可以从源码编译:

git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero.git
cd level-zero && git checkout v1.21.1
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

libze-dev/plucky,now 1.20.3-1 amd64 [installed]
libze-intel-gpu-dev/plucky 24.52.322...

关键发现:libze1 版本 1.20.3-1 就是提供 libze_loader.so.1.20.3 的包,而 libze-intel-gpu1 版本 26.05.37020.3-0 是 GPU 驱动(本地安装,版本远比 loader 新)。这就是 loader/driver 版本不匹配的根因。

Ubuntu plucky 仓库中 libze1 最高只有 1.20.3-1,没有更新版本。需要从 Intel 官方源或 GitHub 手动升级。

方法1:从 GitHub releases 直接安装

# 下载 Level Zero 1.21+ 版本(需要包含 zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)
# 访问 https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases 找到适合的版本
# 例如:
wget https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases/download/v1.21.9/level-zero_1.21.9+u24.04_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i level-zero_1.21.9+u24.04_amd64.deb

方法2:添加 Intel APT 源获取更新的包

wget -qO - https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/intel-graphics.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/intel-graphics.gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/intel-graphics.gpg] https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/ubuntu noble unified" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-gpu.list
sudo apt update
apt list -a libze1 2>/dev/null  # 查看可用版本
sudo apt install libze1

升级后验证:

ls -la /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1
python3 -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"

如果第二条命令不再报 undefined symbol,crash 就会消失。

@copilot libze-intel-gpu1 版本 26.05.37020.3-0 对应的loader版本是多少?

libze-intel-gpu1 (compute-runtime 驱动) 和 libze1 (Level Zero loader) 没有严格的 1:1 版本对应关系,因为它们是独立发布的。但可以从以下信息推断:

  • 你的参考平台使用 libze_loader.so.1.24.1,配合同版本驱动可以正常工作
  • 你的问题平台使用 libze1 1.20.3,驱动报告了 loader 不认识的扩展(ZE_DEVICE_VECTOR_SIZES_EXT_NAME)

zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt 是在 Level Zero spec 1.12+ 中添加的,但 loader 需要 1.21+ 才会在 DDI 表中填充这个函数指针。可以在 Level Zero changelog 中确认:https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

建议直接升级到参考平台使用的 1.24.1 版本。可以从 GitHub releases 下载:

# 从 https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases 找到 v1.24.1
# 下载 libze_loader 和 libze_intel_gpu 的 deb 包
# 或者从源码编译:
git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero.git
cd level-zero && git checkout v1.24.1
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

安装后用之前的 debug.py 验证 zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt 是否可以找到。

@copilot https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases这个是loader还是level zero驱动?

oneapi-src/level-zero 是 Level Zero loader(加载器)+ spec headers,不是驱动。

  • Loader: oneapi-src/level-zero → 提供 libze_loader.so(你系统上的 libze1 包)
  • 驱动: intel/compute-runtime → 提供 libze_intel_gpu.so(你系统上的 libze-intel-gpu1 包)

所以从 https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases 下载的 .deb 会升级 loader(libze_loader.so),正是你需要升级的组件。升级到 1.21+ 后,loader 的 DDI 表会包含 pfnGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt,crash 就会消失。

@copilot https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases这个是loader还是level zero驱动?

https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero/releases 包含的是 Level Zero loader(libze_loader.so),不是 GPU 驱动。

Level Zero 的两个组件分别在不同的仓库:

你的问题是 loader 太旧(1.20.3),需要从 level-zero releases 下载更新的 loader 升级到 1.21+ (建议直接到参考平台的 1.24.1)。

编译安装的 1.24.1 在 /usr/local/lib/,但系统默认用的还是 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ 下的 1.20.3。有三种方法:

方法1:更新系统符号链接(推荐)

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1
sudo ldconfig

方法2:用 LD_LIBRARY_PATH 优先加载新版本

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

加到 ~/.bashrc 或启动脚本中持久化。

方法3:用 ldconfig 注册 /usr/local/lib

echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
sudo ldconfig

安装后验证:

# 确认链接到新版本
ldconfig -p | grep libze_loader
# 应该显示 /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1.24.1

# 确认函数可用
python3 -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"

方法3最干净,因为 ldconfig 会自动管理符号链接优先级。

新编译的 1.24.1 已经安装到 /usr/local/lib/,但系统默认链接的还是 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ 下的旧版本。有三种方法:

方法1:设置 LD_LIBRARY_PATH(临时生效,推荐先测试)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
python debug.py  # 验证是否能找到 zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt

方法2:更新 ldconfig(永久生效)

# 确保 /usr/local/lib 在 ldconfig 搜索路径中
echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-level-zero.conf
sudo ldconfig
# 验证链接是否指向新版本
ldconfig -p | grep libze_loader

方法3:直接替换符号链接

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1
sudo ldconfig

建议先用方法1测试,确认 crash 消失后再用方法2永久生效。验证命令:

python -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"

如果输出函数地址而非报错,说明新 loader 已生效。

@copilot (vllm) media@media-NF5468M7-4U-emr:~/Hongbo/level-zero/build$ ldconfig -p | grep libze_loader
libze_loader.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1
...

ldconfig 输出显示 /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1 排在第一位,说明动态链接器会优先加载 1.24.1 版本。配置看起来正确。

验证是否生效:

# 确认实际加载的是新版本
python3 -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"

如果输出函数地址(如 <_FuncPtr object at 0x...>)而非 undefined symbol 报错,说明新 loader 已生效,crash 应该不会再发生。

如果仍然报 undefined symbol,可能是因为某些进程的缓存没更新,运行:

sudo ldconfig
# 然后重新验证

验证通过后,可以直接运行 vllm 测试是否不再 crash。

@copilot (vllm) media@media-NF5468M7-4U-emr:~/Hongbo/level-zero/build$ ldconfig -p | grep libze_loader
libze_loader.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1
...

/usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1 已经排在第一位,动态链接器会优先使用它(即 1.24.1 版本)。现在验证是否生效:

# 确认实际链接的版本
ls -la /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1
# 应该指向 libze_loader.so.1.24.1

# 确认函数可用
python3 -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"
# 应该输出函数地址,不报错

# 最终测试:不设 ZE_AFFINITY_MASK,直接触发多设备初始化
python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.xpu.device_count())"
# 如果输出 4 而不是 SEGFAULT,说明 loader 升级成功

如果 python3 debug.py 现在输出 Found: 而非 NOT found,说明新 loader 已生效,DDI 表中 pfnGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt 不再为 null,crash 问题在系统层面也解决了。

/usr/local/lib/ 下的 1.24.1 已通过 sudo make install 安装,但 ldconfig 默认搜索路径可能不包含它。运行以下命令注册:

echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-level-zero.conf
sudo ldconfig

然后验证:

ldconfig -p | grep libze_loader
# /usr/local/lib/libze_loader.so.1 应该排在第一位

python3 debug.py
# 应该输出 Found: 而非 NOT found

如果 /usr/local/lib 已排在前面(从你后续的 ldconfig 输出看已经是了),动态链接器会优先加载 1.24.1 版本。

...

新 loader 已生效 — zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt 函数指针不再为 null。现在可以运行最终测试确认 crash 已消除:

# 不设 ZE_AFFINITY_MASK,触发多设备初始化
python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.xpu.device_count())"
# 应该输出 4 而不是 SEGFAULT

如果输出 4,说明系统层面的 loader/driver 版本不匹配问题已解决。我们的 vllm 改动(设置 ZE_AFFINITY_MASK)仍然需要保留,因为它是 XPU 标准的设备隔离机制(等同于 CUDA 的 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES),确保每个 worker 只看到自己分配的 GPU。

python3 -c "import ctypes; ze=ctypes.CDLL('libze_loader.so.1'); print(ze.zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt)"

如果输出 <_FuncPtr object ...> 而非报错,说明新 loader 生效。

新 loader 1.24.1 已生效,zeDeviceGetVectorWidthPropertiesExt 函数指针不再为 null。现在可以测试不设 ZE_AFFINITY_MASK 时多设备初始化是否正常:

python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.xpu.device_count())"

如果输出 4 而不是 SEGFAULT,说明 loader/driver 版本不匹配的系统层面问题已解决。

我们的 vllm 改动(设置 ZE_AFFINITY_MASK)仍应保留——它是 XPU 标准设备隔离机制,等同于 CUDA 的 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES,确保每个 worker 只看到分配给它的设备。
