* meta : handle views of tensors allocated on the host
A view shares the memory of its view_src, so ggml-alloc never allocates a view in
the buffer of the split it lands in - the scheduler copies the source into the
split and the ops that use the view read that copy. The view node itself is a noop
and does not need a split of its own, but the meta backend asserted when one was
left inside a meta split:
- ggml_backend_meta_get_split_state() dereferenced tensor->buffer->context
- the graph rebuild mapped every node with ggml_backend_meta_buffer_simple_tensor()
Accept such nodes when they are views of host tensors, which also generalizes the
previous s_copy_main workaround. This fixes the assert hit by KV cache views when
using --split-mode tensor with partial offload.

crop_before_nextn() / crop_after_nextn()
- models that only tested embeddings_nextn_masked now share the same condition, so they
crop the last layer before the nextn capture whenever extraction is off
- t_h_nextn is now set unconditionally in mimo2, qwen4exp and deepseek4 (as in the other
nextn-capable models); host-side reads stay gated by cparams.embeddings_nextn

* llama : fix unexpected graph reallocation in the k-pool models
Both k-pool models built a graph shape that depends on state the
full-context reserve cannot know:
- qwen4exp branched on inp->cache_safe, which turns false as soon as
llama_memory_seq_cp shares cells (e.g. batched-bench -pps): the QSA
layers swapped scatter+gather for fill+concat and dropped the
new_pool_rep leaf, so the decode graph had 12 fewer nodes than the
reserved one
- glm5-next branched on gather = n_tokens <= 16 && n_kv > n_sel, so the
TG decode built the gather shape (7564 nodes) while the last reserve,
the PP one, had the dense shape (7762 nodes)
Either mismatch forces a decode-time re-reserve that drops the
worst-case sizing and bakes in the current state, so the next state
growth (n_pool, n_kv, n_new) needs more room at an unchanged graph size
and aborts under GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1. Reproduce with, e.g.:
GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1 ./bin/llama-batched-bench \
-hf ggml-org/GLM-5.3-Flash-GGUF:Q2_K -npp 2500 -ntg 32 -npl 1,2 \
-c 32768 -pps -kvu
Always scatter+gather the pooled keys, and pick gather from context
constants only: n_ubatch bounds every ubatch, top_k + kpool - 1 bounds
n_sel. Every graph of a context then shares one shape, which the
reserve covers, and the dense path measured faster than the gather path
at 2.5k and 16k context.

* llama : drop the unused k-pool cache_safe graph API
The k-pool graphs no longer branch on cache_safe, so nothing reads
get_kpool_cache_safe() or the conditional new_pool_rep any more: both
models always pass the scatter target, which set_input_kpool now
requires instead of merely preferring.
Also drop the cache_safe copy in kpool_build_sizes(), a sizes-only
helper. The layout and state flag itself stays, it still decides which
pools a layout with shared cells must re-pool.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-MOPD
* tests : add a shared-seq graph reserve regression test
Decode a prompt into seq 0, share its cells with seq 1 via
llama_memory_seq_cp (what llama-batched-bench does for -pps), then keep
decoding both sequences. For the k-pool models sharing clears
cache_safe, which changes the graph topology while the pools keep
growing, so a scheduler that re-reserves with the current state
instead of the worst-case one aborts under GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1.
The test registration sets that flag, and the test aborts on both
k-pool models before 2220411ec1.
kimi-linear and minimax-01 are skipped: they reserve the final pp graph
with n_seqs = 1 (see [TAG_RESERVE_DIAG_DECAY] in llama-context.cpp), so
every multi-seq graph has a different layout and re-reserves by design.

* cont : add TODOs
* cont : fix comment
* cuda: match the moe weighted reduction on empty ubatches
ggml_cuda_match_moe_weighted_reduction rejected tensors with zero
rows. A ubatch without outputs shrinks the last layer to zero rows
through inp_out_ids, so graph_optimize dropped its alloc dep there and
the scheduler graph lost one node compared to the reserved one. The
scheduler then re-reserved at the size of that ubatch, and the next
ubatch with the same node count but larger tensors aborted under
GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1.
The compute loop already skips empty nodes before trying any fusion,
so the guard only made the alloc deps depend on the row count.
* tests: build the rollback test only where internal symbols link
The shared-seq case calls llm_arch_from_string, which libllama does
not export through LLAMA_API, so linking test-recurrent-state-rollback
fails on Windows with shared libraries. Its build now sits in the
NOT WIN32 OR NOT BUILD_SHARED_LIBS block, next to test-llama-archs and
the test registration it already lives under.
* tests: skip archs by name in the shared-seq reserve test
The skip of kimi-linear and minimax-01 went through llm_arch_from_string,
which libllama does not export through LLAMA_API, so the test could not
link on Windows with shared libraries. It now compares the
general.architecture string directly, and the test builds on every
platform again.

* ggml : add `alloc_buffer_n` to buffer type interface
Add alloc_buffer_n method to ggml_backend_buffer_type_i

splitting and tensor allocation via ggml_tallocr
- Meta buffer type provides custom implementation that creates
per-device sub-contexts and delegates to simple buffer types

* cont : report malloc failure
* tests : simplify function signature
* llama : clamp kpool re-pool bound to existing pools
The n_tokens/kpool + n_seqs_unq bound on n_new_g overshoots when a batch
fills the whole cache: n_ctx tokens complete exactly n_ctx/kpool pools, so
the +1 pads new_pool_idxs/new_pool_rep one entry past n_pool_real. Graph
reserve only covers n_pool_real entries, so the first full-context decode
builds bigger tensors than reserved and ggml-alloc demands a graph
reallocation (abort under GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1).
Clamp the bound to n_pool_real: a ubatch can never mark more pools than
the cache holds, and reserve's n_pool_max already covers that.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-MOPD
* cont : cap to n_pool_max
graph_inputs was populated while splitting the graph, so it only
contained the inputs that are used as srcs of some node. With pipeline
parallelism (n_copies > 1), each graph input contributes n_copies leafs
to graph_copy, so switching between batches that consume different
inputs (e.g. token batches that do not use the embeddings input vs
image batches that do) changed the graph composition. This shifted the
input copies in graph_copy, making the backend ids comparison report
spurious changes and forcing the scheduler to re-reserve. The
re-reserve could then record smaller input sizes (e.g. out_ids with
n_outputs = 0) and abort later on a graph with an unchanged size via
GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC.
Collect the inputs after the split instead, from all input leafs of the
graph, so that the graph composition depends only on which inputs
exist, not on which inputs are used.

* metal : allow fusing 0-element nodes to keep graph packing shape-independent
The fusion packing in ggml_metal_fusion_max excluded 0-element tensors and
the topk_moe/moe_reduce checks rejected n_tokens == 0, so graphs decoding
batches with no outputs packed differently from the worst-case reserved
graph. The Metal optimizer then reordered the nodes differently and
ggml_gallocr_needs_realloc failed on the layout mismatch, forcing an
unexpected graph re-reserve (caught by GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC).
Treat empty tensors like their non-empty counterparts: match them in the
pattern sequence and only reject genuinely malformed shapes. Fused kernels
dispatch zero threadgroups for empty graphs, which is a legal no-op.

* tests : run test_multi_seq_split_replay as a separate test
test_multi_seq_split_replay was invoked at the end of test_rollback,
so its result was folded into the rollback status and it only ran when
the rollback part passed.
Give it its own test_status return, run both tests independently over
both cache fills via a shared run_tests helper, and report them as
separate rollback / split replay columns in the --models table with
per-test summaries. The exit code fails when either test fails.

* tests : loosen the split replay nmse bound to 1e-4
test-generate-models seeds its weights from std::random_device, and some

--model with a broken file still exits non-zero, and the helper loads
with model_only like the --models loop does since the tests create
their own contexts.

* test-save-load-state : print a per-model results table in --models mode
in --models mode the output was very heavy: every model printed its
token dumps, per-test headers and PASS lines. instead, silence all
logging except the table itself (common_log_set_verbosity_thold(0)
leaves only LOG / LOG_LEVEL_OUTPUT) and print one row per model with
one column per test, colored PASS/FAIL/SKIP cells, row by row.
- run_save_load_tests_for_model returns a test_suite with a dynamic
std::vector<test_status> and continues past failures: tests 3-5 are
SKIPped when the baseline (test 1) fails, model init failure skips all
- per-test token dumps, test headers and PASS lines are demoted to
LOGV(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, ...) so they still show in single-model mode
- the table header/rows derive their columns from test_names; the
model name is printed and flushed before the suite runs so the model
currently in flight is always visible

Disable the ggml-cpu precompiled header and remove the
std::hardware_destructive_interference_size branch from CACHE_LINE_SIZE.
The PCH force-includes ggml-impl.h before ops.h, which pulls in <new>
via <array>/<vector> and defines __cpp_lib_hardware_interference_size.
This makes the C++ kernels use CACHE_LINE_SIZE = 256 (hardware
destructive interference size) while the C work-buffer sizing code in
ggml-cpu.c always uses the fallback 64. The mismatch undersizes the
rope work buffer by (CACHE_LINE_SIZE/4 - 16) * n_threads * 4 bytes,
causing a heap-buffer-overflow that corrupts the heap and later crashes
in ggml_compute_forward_rope_flt.
Disabling the ggml-cpu PCH restores the natural include order so
ops.h is processed before <new>, keeping CACHE_LINE_SIZE consistent.
Removing the std::hardware_destructive_interference_size branch makes
the value deterministic and include-order independent.

* metal : rework fusion patterns into a single table
All fusable op patterns for the Metal backend are now declared once in a
fusion table (ggml-metal-fuse.cpp) and consumed by both the graph optimizer
(ggml_metal_fuse_max, packing) and the op encoders (ggml_metal_fuse_next,
compute). The two phases share the same pattern table plus ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext
for the structural checks, and differ only in the mode used for the pattern
check (STRUCTURAL at optimize time, since tensors are not allocated yet, and
FULL at compute time, including Metal buffer placement). This also protects the
snake activation (MUL + SIN + SQR + MUL + ADD) from being reordered during graph
optimization, which was previously unprotected.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : fix absolute output indices in fusion patterns
ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext expects the outputs array to contain absolute graph
node indices (it indexes cgraph->nodes[outputs[i]]), but the fusion table query
was passing a relative index (n_ops - 1). As a result the last node of every
pattern was not recognized as an output and was subjected to the elidable
use-count check, which failed for essentially all fusions. This silently
disabled the norm/MUL fusion and caused a ~5% token-generation regression.
Pass the absolute graph index of the last node instead.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : fuse gated_delta_net with cache cpy
Add GGML_METAL_FUSE_GDN_CACHE to the fusion table: when the gated_delta_net
kernel is followed by a cpy that scatters its recurrent state snapshots into
the KV cache, the kernel writes the snapshots straight into the cache buffer
and the trailing cpy is elided.
The gdn output has other consumers (the attn scores view), so unlike the
elision-chain patterns this is not a simple chain: a 'raw' flag on the fusion
pattern skips the generic chain/shape and ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext checks,
making the pattern-specific check callback the sole validator. Packing
(ggml_metal_fuse_max) now matches on the same view-transparent node sequence
that the compute phase uses, so the gdn + cache cpy group is packed along with
any intermediate views and stays adjacent through the reorder.
The fused cpy is a view consumer of the gdn (it writes the cache directly),
so its mem-range is skipped in the encoder; the skip is restricted to CPY
nodes consuming the previous fused node through a view so other fusions are
unaffected.
Add test_gated_delta_net_cache_fusion and register 5 cases.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : drop is_view_consumer mem-range skip
The is_view_consumer skip was carried over from the upstream gated_delta_net
cache-fusion draft, but it is not needed: keeping the elided cpy's mem-range in
the concurrency tracker only ever adds a (conservative) memory barrier at the
fusion point. It can never remove a barrier, so it cannot introduce a race. The
worst case is one spurious barrier per gdn+cache-cpy fusion, which is within
run-to-run noise on Qwen3.5-0.8B Q8_0.
Dropping the check keeps the mem-range loop uniform for all fused groups.

* metal : rename gated_delta_net fused state output args

bid_state_out -> bid_out.

* metal : rename raw fusion flag to unsafe
raw did not convey that the flag opts a fusion pattern out of the generic
elision-chain safety net (ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext + chain/shape checks).
rename it to 'unsafe' to make explicit that the pattern's check callback is the
sole validator and must re-establish the safety guarantees itself.

Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : add generic fusion stats via ad-hoc proc-address API
Add a device-owned fusion context that lets a test tool count how many
times each fusion pattern fires and toggle fusion. It is exposed through
the ad-hoc ggml_backend_reg_get_proc_address mechanism with generic names
so the testing tool is backend-agnostic:
- ggml_backend_fusion_stats_init: start collecting fusion stats; when a
context is created afterwards it registers the labels/counters and
encodes single-threaded (n_cb == 0) so the counters are race-free
- ggml_backend_fusion_stats_reset / _get_stats / _set_enabled
The context lives on the metal device (not on the last backend context),
so counters accumulate across contexts and reads are always consistent.
The enable/disable toggle is initialized from GGML_METAL_FUSION_DISABLE
and can be overridden by the test through set_enabled. Labels are
synthesized from the fuse table via ggml_metal_fuse_label (e.g.
"GATED_DELTA_NET+CPY").
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : add fusion count regression test with per-backend baseline
test-fusion runs every dummy model generated by test-llama-archs on a
single backend (single-threaded encoding, n_cb == 0) with fusion enabled
and disabled, and for each mode (prefill / decode) reports the per-fusion
counters and the NMSE between the fused and unfused logits, plus the NMSE
against a CPU reference.
A fusion pattern that silently stops matching (or fires when it should
not) is caught as a regression by comparing the counters against a
committed per-backend TSV baseline:
- --record writes the golden baseline, --check (default) validates it
- the unfused run doubles as a control: its counters must be all-zero
- NMSE is skipped when it is NaN or the arch is already broken on the
device (e.g. plamo2 on Metal), so the count check is the hard gate
- baseline counts depend only on graph structure, not weights (verified
stable across weight seeds)
- the fusion stats API is resolved through the ad-hoc get_proc_address
mechanism with generic names; a backend that does not export it makes
the test fail with an error
The committed MTL0.tsv baseline covers 110 dummy archs (298 rows).
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : rename fusion api helpers to match stats_init signature
Align the test with the ad-hoc fusion stats API: fusion_stats_init no
longer takes an enable bool (stats are turned on by calling it), so the
proc-address wrappers and typedefs are renamed to the api_* convention.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : rename backend to device in fusion test CLI
The fusion test operates on a compute device (e.g. MTL0), not a backend,
so rename the --backend argument to --device and the backend_name
variable to device_name. Keep "backend" where it refers to the ggml
backend interface (the ad-hoc proc-address mechanism).

* tests : add --model and --help to fusion test

* tests : use backend base name for fusion baseline output
The fusion test is invoked with a specific device name (e.g. MTL0), but
its output - the recorded baseline and the header it writes - should be
named after the backend base name (e.g. MTL, via ggml_backend_reg_name),
since the counters depend on the backend, not on the specific device
index. Rename the committed baseline to MTL.tsv.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : run fusion test from ci instead of ctest
The fusion test needs Metal and generates a lot of dummy models, so it
does not belong in the generic ctest suite. Move it to ci/run.sh as
gg_run_test_fusion, gated on GG_BUILD_METAL like
gg_run_test_llama_archs_tensor_split: it generates the dummy models with
test-llama-archs -o and then validates the fusion counts against the
committed baseline. test-fusion.cpp is still built (llama_build) but no
longer registered as a ctest.

* metal : single-pass flash attention sparse index compaction
The idx kernel previously read the mask row twice: once to count the finite

Keep the finite positions in a per-thread register array during the count
pass and write them out directly, avoiding the second mask read. A dense
mask with more than NLOCAL finite entries in a slice falls back to re-reading
the mask to write the remaining positions.

test-save-load-state previously only ran in ctest against a single

Add a --models DIR mode to test-save-load-state that runs the full
save/load suite over every *.gguf in a directory, reporting a
per-model PASS/FAIL and exiting non-zero if any model fails, and wire
a ctest to run it over all architectures using the existing

is preserved (still used by ci/run.sh).
Also bump the dummy-model training context in test-llama-archs from
128 to 256 so that the per-sequence context (which is padded up to a
multiple of 256) no longer exceeds n_ctx_train and emits the
"possible training context overflow" warning.
The test is expected to fail until the affected arches are fixed:
deepseek4 (host seq-copy), gemma2/gpt-oss/lfm2 (device seq-copy),
minimax-01 (state load). It aborts at the first arch that crashes.

The dummy DSA indexer (deepseek32, glm-dsa, ...) used key_length=64 and head_count=1, so the fused Lightning Indexer op's q tensor was shaped [64, 1, ...]. The Metal fused kernel is fixed to DK=128, NH=64, so it rejected the op and the scheduler fell back to CPU, emitting a 'layer assigned to MTL but Lightning Indexer on CPU' warning. Bump key_length to 128 and the DSA head_count to 64 so the fused op runs on the GPU.

The on-device state seq copy (llama_state_seq_set_data with LLAMA_STATE_SEQ_FLAGS_ON_DEVICE) copied the write-side cpy tensors to the read-side targets 1:1 by index, requiring the writer and reader to emit the same number of chunks in the same order with the same per-chunk sizes. state_write_data chunks per cell-range while state_read_data chunks contiguous-or-per-cell, so the counts diverged for non-contiguous sources (dsv4, SWA) and the copy aborted with "memory buffer mismatch".
All state writers and readers enumerate the same logical data in the same order, differing only in chunking. Copy the flat write-side data into the read-side targets with a byte cursor that walks both tensor lists across their boundaries, so the chunking no longer needs to match. Keep the total-size guard; drop the n_tensors equality check.
