[OLD] [KV Offload] Bypass power-of-2 rounding in KV offload CPU pinned allocation - #7
Conversation
…cation PyTorch's CUDACachingHostAllocator rounds every pin_memory=True allocation up to the next power of 2 (e.g. 33 GiB -> 64 GiB). In CPUOffloadingWorker this caused each TP worker to allocate far more host memory than requested when kv_offloading_size was not an exact power of 2 per rank, leading to OOM on memory-constrained machines. Fix: allocate non-pinned first, then pin via cudaHostRegister to bypass the caching allocator, matching what SimpleCPUOffloadWorker already does.
