810-818: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the packed-ownership context into one helper.
Three call sites repeat the same three steps: build the remapped root with
IfBufferRemapLoopGenerator::run, derivecanonical_replica_guard_guaranteedfromstore_fragment_buffers_.empty(), and gate onTargetIsCuda. The replica-guard predicate encodes a non-obvious contract withBuildReplicationGuardsIfNeeded. If one site changes later, the other two silently keep the old rule.A small private member function, for example
PackedOwnershipContext(const LayoutInferArgs &)returning the remapped root plus the two flags, keeps the rule in one place.Also applies to: 1108-1112, 1249-1259

These owner expressions are only comparable when both stores use the same coordinate basis. T.reshape creates a different-shaped Buffer with the same data; the 2-D view can express byte_coordinate_vars[0] as a row while the flat view uses that same symbol as an absolute byte. This equality check then accepts different threads for the same physical byte, allowing a silent packed RMW race. Please canonicalize cross-site owners to one absolute byte coordinate per storage (or reject incomparable bases) and add a reshape-alias regression.
Consider the example:
import tilelang.language as T
def by_row(i, j):
return i, j
loop_layout = T.Fragment((2, 2), forward_fn=by_row)
@T.prim_func
def kernel(
low: T.Tensor((2, 2), "uint4"),
high: T.Tensor((2,), "uint4"),
out: T.Tensor((2, 4), "uint4"),
):
with T.Kernel(1, threads=2):
flat = T.reshape(out, (8,))
for i, j in T.Parallel(2, 2, loop_layout=loop_layout):
out[i, 2 * j] = low[i, j]
if j == 0:
flat[2 * i + 1] = high[i]There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the callout, @SiriusNEO! I validated the behavior against your example and chose to reject packed stores when their alias bases cannot be compared safely. I also added regression coverage for both the failing reshape case and the supported same-owner case.

Should we preserve for cross-loop cases? E.g.
import tilelang.language as T
def low_owner(i):
return i, 0
def high_owner(i):
return (i + 32) % 64, 0
low_layout = T.Fragment((64,), forward_fn=low_owner)
high_layout = T.Fragment((64,), forward_fn=high_owner)
@T.prim_func
def kernel(
A: T.Tensor((128,), "uint4"),
B: T.Tensor((128,), "uint4"),
):
with T.Kernel(1, threads=64):
for i in T.Parallel(64, loop_layout=low_layout):
B[2 * i] = A[2 * i]
for i in T.Parallel(64, loop_layout=high_layout):
B[2 * i + 1] = A[2 * i + 1]in this case, loop1 and loop2 may have write conflicts (two writers write into the same packed byte)

Summary
Fixes #2963.
Packed four-bit values share a physical byte. Layout inference could assign
the two nibbles of that byte to different CUDA threads, causing their
non-atomic read-modify-write stores to race and silently corrupt the result.
This PR:
ownership cannot be proven; and
packed shared or global memory.
A simple
V=2rule fixes the reported shape but not strided, annotated,replicated, or fragment-backed mappings, so the check uses physical byte
addresses instead. The behavior is CUDA-only; HIP layout inference is unchanged.
Safe layouts that the proof cannot establish may be rejected. Support for
additional provably safe mappings can be added later without weakening the
correctness check.
Validation
Tested on an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (
sm_89) with CUDA 13.1.115.int4,uint4, andfloat4_e2m1fn.Summary
Fixes CUDA layout inference for packed sub-byte stores.
