Overview

Under DBO, DeepEPHTPrepareAndFinalize has DeepEP allocate its dispatch outputs on the DBO comm stream, then reads them on the compute stream; the combine input crosses the other way. The caching allocator is never told about these cross-stream reads, so the other microbatch's next DeepEP call can reuse a block and overwrite it before it is read. With the DeepGEMM FP8 MoE this crashes the engine at startup with an illegal memory access in ep_scatter. This PR calls record_stream on every tensor that crosses between the two streams.

A GitHub search found no existing issue or PR for this. Related: #46990 added a ROCm-only host sync after HT dispatch/combine under DBO, possibly for the same hazard (see Details). #27666 and #38451 fixed other DBO + DeepEP HT problems.

Claims

• Fixes the startup crash with DBO + DeepEP high-throughput + the DeepGEMM FP8 MoE (VLLM_USE_DEEP_GEMM=1 VLLM_MOE_USE_DEEP_GEMM=1, the defaults). For GLM-5.3 FP8 on main, 2 of 2 runs crashed in the first microbatched step without the fix. On 0.29.0, so did all 7 runs that had neither the fix nor a serializing workaround (CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING, no caching allocator, host sync). With the fix, full GSM8K scores 0.927 with CUTLASS linears and 0.912 with DeepGEMM linears (DBO off: 0.923).
• Covers both directions for every experts backend behind DeepEP HT: DeepEP's outputs (comm stream to compute stream) and the reduced expert output passed to combine (compute stream to comm stream; defensive on main, see Details). With --enable-dbo, main runs Model Runner V1 unless VLLM_USE_V2_MODEL_RUNNER=1 is set. MRV2's opt-in DBO uses the same microbatch contexts and streams, so it gets the same fix. Only Model Runner V1 was run.
• No change when DBO is off. With DBO on, there are no host syncs and no extra kernels. The cost is at most 9 record_stream calls per MoE layer per microbatch, plus one CUDA event per recorded block when it is freed; the allocator reuses that block only after the event completes. The throughput cost was not measured.
• DeepEP low-latency, NIXL-EP and DeepEP v2 are not affected, because on main they do not switch streams under DBO. deepep_ll.py is unchanged. The open [DBO] Add DBO support to the DeepEP V2 backend #52177 adds the same comm-stream switching to DeepEP v2, so it may need the same treatment.

Validation

On main, without and with this PR. Setup: GLM-5.3 FP8 on 1 x 8 H200, DP4 x TP2, EP8, --all2all-backend deepep_high_throughput --enable-dbo, cudagraph_mode NONE, fp8 KV, prefix caching, Model Runner V1. Env: VLLM_USE_DEEP_GEMM=1 VLLM_MOE_USE_DEEP_GEMM=1 VLLM_USE_DEEP_GEMM_E8M0=0 VLLM_DEEP_GEMM_WARMUP=skip; the logs show Using DEEPGEMM Fp8 MoE backend. Build: main @ 4a705c7 + #60732 + #60734. Running GLM-5.x with DBO needs both of those; this PR is independent of them. Eval: lm_eval GSM8K 5-shot, 1,319 questions, num_concurrent=256, standard error ±0.007–0.008. Microbatched steps were counted with a diagnostic log that is not part of this PR.

Linears	DBO	This PR	GSM8K flexible / strict	Microbatched steps per worker
CUTLASS (--linear-backend cutlass)	on	no	crash in the profile run, 2 / 2 runs	dies in the first one (2 x 4,096 tokens)
CUTLASS	on	yes	0.927 / 0.927	100–149
DeepGEMM	on	yes	0.912 / 0.913	100–149
DeepGEMM	off	yes (no-op)	0.923 / 0.923	0

DeepGEMM-linears DBO on and DBO off differ by 0.010, about one standard error of the difference. We did not run CUTLASS linears with DBO off, or DeepGEMM linears with DBO on without the fix, on main. On 0.29.0 the latter crashes the same way (see below).

The crash without the fix:

Run	What fails
no fix	The server never becomes ready. In the first microbatched step of the profile run, one worker raises RuntimeError: DeepEP error: CPU recv timeout in buffer.dispatch. The other microbatch thread gets CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered at comm_stream.wait_event, and the run ends with torch.cat(): expected a non-empty list of Tensors.
no fix, CUDA core dump	CUDA Exception: Warp Out-of-range Address in _fwd_kernel_ep_scatter_2<<<(8192,1,1),(256,1,1)>>> at deep_gemm_utils.py:109, which is tl.load(expert_map + expert_id) in apply_expert_map, inlined from :241 (expert_id = tl.load(recv_topk + ...)). The faulting SASS loads expert_map + expert_id * 4 after the expert_id != -1 check, so the expert id read from the torch.where over DeepEP's topk ids was out of range.

Isolating the cause on vLLM 0.29.0. Same 1-node GLM-5.3 setup, with backports of #60732 and #60734, DeepGEMM MoE and CUTLASS linears unless noted. The record_stream rows use an env-gated version of this patch: same three call sites, using torch.cuda.current_stream().

Variant	Questions	GSM8K flexible / strict	Microbatched steps per worker

reference: DBO off, DeepGEMM MoE and linears	1,319	0.919 / 0.919	0

Taken together, these runs narrow the cause:

• Disabling the SM partition and randomizing the dummy inputs do not help.
• Serializing launches, disabling the caching allocator, a host sync, or record_stream alone each remove the crash.
• The FLASHINFER_CUTLASS MoE is fine with the same DeepGEMM linears.

That points at allocator reuse of DeepEP's buffers across DBO streams, which only the DeepGEMM MoE turns into a crash.

Production shape (vLLM 0.29.0). Setup: 4 x 8 H200, one engine per GPU (TP1, DP32/EP32, external load balancing), GLM-5.3-BF16 quantized online with fp8_per_block, DeepEP HT, eager, prefix caching, fp8 KV, --max-num-batched-tokens 4096, --gpu-memory-utilization 0.70. Each row is one run with the same backports as above. Prefill load: three waves of 1,536 unique prompts of about 9.7k tokens each, max_tokens=1, 6 in flight per rank. GSM8K (1,319 questions) was then run against rank 0.

MoE / linears	DBO	Fix	GSM8K flexible / strict	Microbatched steps per worker	KV cache per GPU (tokens)	Prefill tok/s, wave 3
FLASHINFER_CUTLASS / CUTLASS (FlashInfer autotune off*)	on	no	0.924 / 0.923	278	645k	79.4k
DeepGEMM / DeepGEMM	on	record_stream	0.917 / 0.917	280	736k min, 796k median	75.0k
DeepGEMM / DeepGEMM	off	n/a	0.925 / 0.925	0	733k min, 803k median	67.5k

* Two earlier attempts with FlashInfer autotune on stalled during startup autotuning. Throughput is the third wave over all 32 GPUs. DeepGEMM kernels JIT-compile during the first waves (VLLM_DEEP_GEMM_WARMUP=skip), and all three runs were still speeding up in wave 3, so these are not steady-state numbers. This table shows that DBO + DeepGEMM MoE works at production scale with the fix. It is not a performance claim for this PR. Without the fix this configuration does not start, so measuring the fix's own cost needs a MoE backend that runs either way, such as FLASHINFER_CUTLASS. We did not do that.

CI coverage. This PR adds no test. The existing DBO test, tests/v1/distributed/test_dbo.py (DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat, DP2), already runs the changed lines in its deepep_high_throughput case, with a BF16 MoE (TritonExperts) rather than the DeepGEMM path. It runs in the 2 x H100 "Distributed Features" job (optional), the B200 "Distributed" job (also optional; xfailed on Blackwell for unstable DBO accuracy; we have not checked whether that is related) and the AMD mirrors. With this patch, on 2 x H200 it passes both cases (deepep_low_latency, deepep_high_throughput) in 9 minutes, with 200+ microbatched steps per worker in the HT case. To build a 2-GPU reproducer, we quantized that model's MoE online to block FP8 with --quantization online --quantization-config '{"moe": "fp8_per_block"}' --moe-backend deep_gemm. The logs confirm the DEEPGEMM MoE behind DeepEPHTPrepareAndFinalize. That variant passed without the fix every time, so it cannot catch a regression:

DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat (H200, threshold 0.62)	This PR	GSM8K strict	Microbatched steps per worker
DP2, 256 questions	no	0.648	200+
DP2, --max-num-batched-tokens 16384 --max-num-seqs 256, 512 questions	no	0.666	200+
DP8 / EP8, 256 questions	no	0.652	100+
DP2, 256 questions	yes	0.645	200+

It would add DeepGEMM-MoE coverage of the patched path for 5–7 minutes on 2 GPUs. We can add it if reviewers want it, but it would not have caught this bug. The regression evidence is the manual GLM-5.3 runs above. Separately, quantizing V2-Lite's linears as well (--quantization fp8_per_block) scored about 0 on GSM8K in this DBO setup, both with and without this PR. That is unrelated and was not investigated.

Lint: pre-commit passes on the rebased commit: ruff check and format (0.14.0), typos (1.43.5), mypy (1.20.2), and the local SPDX, forbidden-import, torch.cuda and boolean-context-manager hooks. Before the rebase, with torch types resolved, mypy reported 2 errors, which also appear on the unpatched file.

Not run:

• Model Runner V2 with DBO (opt-in via VLLM_USE_V2_MODEL_RUNNER=1). It uses the same code path.
• ROCm. The AMD CI mirrors run test_dbo.py with DeepEP HT, so CI will exercise the change there.
• tests/kernels/moe/test_deepep*.py with this patch. They do not enable DBO, so the change is a no-op in them.
• Multi-node on main.
• Whether this fixes the DeepSeek-V3.2 DBO illegal memory access noted in [Bugfix][Attention] Keep DSA shared-indexer top-k state per DBO microbatch #60734 (see Details).
• The GPU runs on main used 4a705c7. This branch is rebased on main @ 240785b (the rebase did not change the patch: same git patch-id), where deepep_ht.py, ubatching.py, gpu_ubatch_wrapper.py and gpu/ubatch_utils.py are unchanged. deep_gemm_utils.py, deep_gemm_moe.py and modular_kernel.py changed in between ([Bugfix] Widen ep_gather output offset to int64 #58373, [Perf][MoE] Skip padded work in block-FP8 DeepGEMM experts #59128, [Perf][MoE] Eliminate staging from NCCL symmetric reduce-scatter #49194). On the rebased commit we re-ran pytest -v -s tests/v1/distributed/test_dbo.py on 2 x H200: 2 passed (deepep_low_latency, deepep_high_throughput) in 9 minutes. The GLM-5.3 runs were not repeated on the newer base.

Details

Root cause (main @ 240785b, before this PR):

• Shared streams. UBatchWrapper creates one comm stream (gpu_ubatch_wrapper.py:76) and gives both microbatches that comm stream and the same compute stream (:288-291). MRV2's UBatchRunner does the same (gpu/ubatch_utils.py:327,458-462).
• Where DeepEP allocates. _do_dispatch switches to the comm stream (deepep_ht.py:126). It then calls get_dispatch_layout and dispatch with allocate_on_comm_stream=False (:139,168) and, under DBO, async_finish=False (:138,167). DeepEP therefore allocates recv x, scales, topk ids and topk weights on the current stream, which is the DBO comm stream's allocator pool. It runs its kernels on its own internal stream, which waits only on previous_event. With async_finish=False it then makes the calling stream wait for that internal stream, and it records no other stream on its tensors: its HT dispatch and combine call record_stream only when async_finish=True (csrc/deep_ep.cpp).
• Where they are read and freed. dbo_switch_to_compute_sync() (:177) orders the compute stream after the dispatch, and _receiver reads the outputs there: first the torch.where over the topk ids (:225), then the experts. Once those kernels are enqueued the Python references are dropped; for example, expert_topk_ids is rebound by the torch.where. The blocks go back to the comm pool, free for any later comm-stream work.
• How they get overwritten. The other microbatch's next DeepEP call allocates from the same comm-stream pool. Its kernels wait only on its own previous_event, captured on the compute stream before it yielded ([Perf] Fix DBO overlap: capture DeepEP event before yield #38451). The DBO comm stream itself waits only on that microbatch's compute-done event (ubatching.py:86-87, recorded in yield_and_switch_from_compute_to_comm before the yield). Both events were recorded before this microbatch enqueued its reads. So that call's outputs can land in the freed blocks and be written before the reads run. The DeepGEMM contiguous path then loads expert_map[expert_id] for whatever id it finds (deep_gemm_utils.py:107-110, called from _fwd_kernel_ep_scatter_2 at :244-247), which is the faulting load in the core dump.
• Reverse direction. For experts that leave the weight-and-reduce to the prepare/finalize (TopKWeightAndReduceDelegate), _finalize reduces into a new compute-stream tensor (apply(output=None), :365), and combine reads it on the comm stream (:376). dbo_switch_to_compute() (:389) does not order the compute stream after the combine. The tensor is freed when _finalize returns, so later compute-stream work, such as shared experts or the other microbatch, can reuse the block while combine is still reading it. On main, though, no experts class that can run behind DeepEP HT delegates: the delegating classes all use the batched activation format, DeepEP HT uses the standard one, and the standard CUTLASS FP8 and Marlin experts return TopKWeightAndReduceNoOP. Every experts class that can run behind DeepEP HT reduces itself (DeepGEMM, Triton, FlashInfer CUTLASS, ...), so the combine input is the per-microbatch workspace (or the caller's output tensor when the shapes match), which is not freed there. The _finalize call (1 of the 9) is therefore defensive on main, for a future delegating experts class. We did not observe this direction.
• Dispatch inputs. Tokens, scales, topk ids and topk weights are already safe today, because they are freed only after dbo_switch_to_compute_sync() makes the compute stream wait on the comm stream. They are recorded anyway (4 of the 9 calls), so their safety does not depend on that ordering; this is also the version validated on 0.29.

Fix: _dbo_record_stream() calls t.record_stream(current_stream()) on each non-None tensor when dbo_enabled(). It is called in three places:

• in _do_dispatch, after switching to comm, on the dispatch inputs (compute to comm);
• in _receiver, before the torch.where, on DeepEP's outputs (comm to compute);
• in _finalize, after switching to comm, on the reduced expert output (compute to comm).

When a recorded tensor is freed, the allocator records an event on the consuming stream and does not reuse the block until that event has completed. For the two compute-to-comm sites the actual reader is DeepEP's internal stream. Recording the DBO comm stream still covers it, because with async_finish=False the DBO comm stream waits for DeepEP's kernels before dispatch or combine returns, and the tensors are freed after that. DeepEP's handle and layout tensors and combined_x are used only on the DBO comm stream and DeepEP's internal stream, so they are not recorded (but see "Not covered").

CUDA graphs: DeepEP HT is never captured. vLLM forces cudagraph_mode NONE for HT with DP > 1, and DBO needs DP > 1. PyTorch also supports record_stream during capture.

Why FLASHINFER_CUTLASS does not crash, but may still race. The hazard is in the prepare/finalize, so it does not depend on the experts backend; what differs is what a corrupted id does. FlashInfer's CUTLASS MoE receives ep_rank/ep_size and keeps only ids in this rank's range (expert >= start_expert && expert < end_expert, cutlass_fused_moe_kernels.cuh:223,449 in FlashInfer 0.7.0.post1). A garbage id is therefore dropped instead of dereferenced, and garbage activations or weights would only produce wrong numbers. With FLASHINFER_CUTLASS, DBO matches DBO off on GSM8K: 0.922–0.927 on main in #60734, and 0.924 at EP32 above. So we have no evidence that the race fires there in practice. We also do not know why the window opens reliably for GLM-5.3 with DeepGEMM but not for DeepSeek-V2-Lite with DeepGEMM. #60734 notes an illegal memory access with DeepSeek-V3.2 and DBO that also uses FLASHINFER_CUTLASS and also disappears with CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1. We have not tested whether this PR fixes it.

Why ROCm already host-syncs. #46990 added _sync_dbo_comm_if_needed (deepep_ht.py:61,71-76), a host synchronize() of the current stream after HT dispatch and combine under DBO, on ROCm only. Its comment cites reuse of "Buffer-owned communication workspace". Forcing the same sync on CUDA also removed the crash (0.29 table). We suspect ROCm hit the same allocator hazard, but we have no ROCm hardware to check, so this PR leaves the ROCm sync in place; on ROCm, record_stream only adds bookkeeping.

Alternatives considered

1. Use the host sync on CUDA as well. It works (0.29 table), but it blocks the CPU after every HT dispatch and combine of every microbatch: 300 times per step for GLM-5.3's 75 MoE layers. That gives up the CPU run-ahead DBO needs for overlap. Not benchmarked.
2. allocate_on_comm_stream=True. This moves the outputs to DeepEP's internal stream, but the compute stream still reads them, so on its own it does not order reuse. DeepEP also accepts it only together with previous_event and async_finish=True, and vLLM disables async_finish under DBO. Not tried.
3. record_stream (this PR). It marks exactly the tensors that cross streams, adds no syncs or kernels, and keeps the fix inside the one prepare/finalize that switches streams under DBO.

Not covered: blocks freed on the comm stream itself, for example combined_x after output.copy_ in the finalize receiver, are reused by later comm-stream allocations. DeepEP's kernels for that later call wait on previous_event, a compute-stream event, rather than on the comm stream, so in principle they could run before the earlier comm-stream copy finishes. We inferred this from DeepEP's source (its internal stream waits on previous_event when one is given, otherwise on the calling stream) and have not observed it. record_stream cannot express this ordering. Passing previous_event=None under DBO would make DeepEP wait on the comm stream instead. That is left for a follow-up because it changes the ordering #38451 tuned.

This also fixes an intermittent ROCm failure. MI355 Distributed Features crashed in main nightly build 95634 on test_dbo.py::test_dbo_dp_ep_gsm8k[deepep_high_throughput] with Memory access fault by GPU node-2 ... Reason: Unknown while DeepEP HT was dispatching on a DBO microbatch thread. The ROCm host sync from #46990 only waits for the comm stream, so it doesn't cover the compute-stream reads this PR records.

On MI355 (gfx950, DeepEP 0f63d3e9) the fault didn't show in 50 normal runs, so I widened the race by sleeping on the compute stream right after HT dispatch switches back to it (torch.cuda._sleep(3_000_000), about 10 ms):

[AndreasKaratzas]

I pushed 6b323f5 on top, plus a merge of main. On ROCm, _sync_dbo_comm_if_needed() host-syncs the comm stream right after HT dispatch and combine, so the dispatch inputs and fused_expert_output are no longer read by the time they can be freed. Only the dispatch outputs _receiver reads on the compute stream still need recording there, so the two input-side _dbo_record_stream calls are now skipped when self.sync_dbo_comm is set. CUDA is unchanged.

The skipped calls weren't free: each record_stream adds about 10 µs to that tensor's free and next allocation on ROCm (14.7 µs vs 4.1 µs per tensor in a microbenchmark on MI355), about 7 times per MoE layer per microbatch.

MI355, DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat, DP2 + EP, --enable-dbo, deepep_high_throughput, vllm bench serve random 1024/256, 512 prompts, concurrency 64, variants alternated:

6b323f5 also passed 10/10 under the compute-stream delay that faults main 10/10. One of the 9 main runs crashed with the same memory access fault without any delay.
