👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

Summary of Changes

Hello @hyoon1, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical build failure on AMD Radeon GPUs (GFX11/12) by removing specific unused variables within the custom paged attention kernel. The changes are purely for compilation success and code cleanliness, with no impact on the functional behavior or performance of the existing attention mechanism.

Highlights

  • Build Fix for ROCm: Removed unused local variables (lane4id and kglobal_token_idx) from the custom paged attention kernel in csrc/rocm/attention.cu. This resolves a build error specifically on AMD Radeon GPUs (GFX11/12) that was introduced by a previous PR.
  • Code Clean-up: Improved code hygiene by removing variables that were declared but not utilized, ensuring the codebase remains lean and maintainable. The changes have no functional impact.

Code Review

The pull request removes unused variables in the custom paged attention kernel to fix a build error on AMD Radeon GPUs (gfx11/12). The changes involve deleting unused local variables in the paged_attention_ll4mi_QKV_mfma16_kernel function within the csrc/rocm/attention.cu file. The variables lane4id and kglobal_token_idx are removed as they are not utilized within the kernel's logic.
