-# Torch Distributed Port Conflict Issue
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-When attempting to create multiple `LLM` instances sequentially in the same Python process (e.g., for grouped testing), the second and subsequent instances fail with:
-
-```
-torch.distributed.DistNetworkError: The server socket has failed to listen on any local network address.
-port: 2333, useIpv6: false, code: -98, name: EADDRINUSE, message: address already in use
-```
-
-## Root Cause Analysis
-
-### 1. Distributed Process Group Initialization
-
-In `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:30-32`:
-
-```python
-import os
-port = os.environ.get("NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT", "2333")
-dist.init_process_group("nccl", f"tcp://localhost:{port}", world_size=self.world_size, rank=rank)
-```
-
-- Default port is **2333** (configurable via `NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT` env var)
-- `init_process_group()` binds a TCP socket to this port
-- This binding persists until `destroy_process_group()` is called
-
-### 2. Cleanup Mechanism
-
-In `nanovllm/engine/llm_engine.py:37`:
-
-```python
-atexit.register(self.exit)
-```
-
-In `nanovllm/engine/llm_engine.py:39-43`:
-
-```python
-def exit(self):
-    self.model_runner.call("exit")
-    del self.model_runner
-    for p in self.ps:
-        p.join()
-```
-
-In `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py:66-78`:
-
-```python
-def exit(self):
-    # ... cleanup code ...
-    dist.destroy_process_group()
-```
-
-### 3. The Problem
-
-**`atexit` only triggers when the Python interpreter exits, NOT when the object is deleted or goes out of scope.**
-
-Timeline of the bug:
-
-```
-1. Create LLM instance #1
-   ├── init_process_group() binds port 2333 ✓
-   └── atexit.register(self.exit) registered
-
-2. LLM #1 goes out of scope (garbage collected)
-   ├── Python's GC deletes the object
-   ├── BUT atexit handler NOT triggered yet
-   └── Port 2333 still bound! ❌
-
-3. Create LLM instance #2
-   ├── init_process_group() tries to bind port 2333
-   └── EADDRINUSE error! ❌
-
-4. Program exits (only now atexit runs)
-   └── Too late - already crashed
-```
-
-## Impact
-
-This issue affects:
-
-1. **Grouped testing mode** (`test_ruler_niah.py --group-size N`)
-   - Each group needs a fresh LLM instance
-   - Second group fails with port conflict
-
-2. **Multiple LLM instances in same process**
-   - Any code that creates LLM, deletes it, then creates another
-
-3. **Interactive/notebook usage**
-   - Re-running cells that create LLM instances
-
-## Proposed Solutions
-
-### Solution A: Add `__del__` Method (Quick Fix)
-
-Add destructor to `LLMEngine` that calls cleanup:
-
-```python
-# In nanovllm/engine/llm_engine.py
-
-def __del__(self):
-    try:
-        self.exit()
-    except Exception:
-        pass  # Ignore errors during cleanup
-```
-
-**Pros**: Simple, backwards compatible
-**Cons**: `__del__` is not guaranteed to be called (circular references, etc.)
-
-### Solution B: Context Manager Pattern (Recommended)
-
-Make `LLMEngine` a context manager:
-
-```python
-# In nanovllm/engine/llm_engine.py
-
-def __enter__(self):
-    return self
-
-def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
-    self.exit()
-    return False
-```
-
-Usage:
-```python
-with LLM(model_path) as llm:
-    outputs = llm.generate(prompts, params)
-# Cleanup happens automatically here
-```
-
-**Pros**: Explicit, guaranteed cleanup, Pythonic
-**Cons**: Requires usage pattern change
-
-### Solution C: Check and Cleanup Before Init (Defensive)
-
-In `ModelRunner.__init__`, check if process group exists:
-
-```python
-# In nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py
-
-if dist.is_initialized():
-    dist.destroy_process_group()
-dist.init_process_group("nccl", f"tcp://localhost:{port}", ...)
-```
-
-**Pros**: Self-healing, no usage pattern change
-**Cons**: May mask other issues, global state manipulation
-
-### Solution D: Subprocess Isolation (For Testing)
-
-For grouped testing specifically, run each group in a subprocess:
-
-```python
-import subprocess
-for group in groups:
-    subprocess.run([sys.executable, "test_ruler_niah.py",
-                    "--sample-indices", f"{start}-{end}"])
-```
-
-**Pros**: Complete isolation, no code changes to nanovllm
-**Cons**: More overhead, only solves testing use case
-
-### Solution E: Dynamic Port Allocation
-
-Instead of fixed port 2333, use dynamic port:
-
-```python
-import socket
-
-def find_free_port():
-    with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
-        s.bind(('', 0))
-        return s.getsockname()[1]
-
-port = os.environ.get("NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT") or find_free_port()
-```
-
-**Pros**: Avoids conflicts entirely
-**Cons**: More complex, may have side effects
-
-## Recommended Implementation
-
-**Combine Solutions A + B + C** for maximum robustness:
-
-1. Add `__del__` for best-effort cleanup
-2. Add context manager for explicit cleanup
-3. Add `is_initialized()` check as defensive measure
-
-```python
-# nanovllm/engine/llm_engine.py
-
-class LLMEngine:
-    def __init__(self, model, **kwargs):
-        # ... existing code ...
-        atexit.register(self.exit)
-        self._exited = False
-
-    def exit(self):
-        if self._exited:
-            return
-        self._exited = True
-        self.model_runner.call("exit")
-        del self.model_runner
-        for p in self.ps:
-            p.join()
-
-    def __del__(self):
-        try:
-            self.exit()
-        except Exception:
-            pass
-
-    def __enter__(self):
-        return self
-
-    def __exit__(self, *args):
-        self.exit()
-        return False
-
-
-# nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py
-
-class ModelRunner:
-    def __init__(self, config: Config, rank: int, event):
-        # ... existing code before init_process_group ...
-
-        import os
-        port = os.environ.get("NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT", "2333")
-
-        # Defensive cleanup
-        if dist.is_initialized():
-            dist.destroy_process_group()
-
-        dist.init_process_group("nccl", f"tcp://localhost:{port}",
-                                world_size=self.world_size, rank=rank)
-        # ... rest of init ...
-```
-
-## Workaround for Current Code
-
-Until the fix is implemented, use one of these workarounds:
-
-### Workaround 1: Manual Cleanup
-
-```python
-import torch.distributed as dist
-
-llm = LLM(model_path)
-outputs = llm.generate(...)
-llm.model_runner.call("exit")  # Manual cleanup
-del llm
-
-# Now can create new LLM
-llm2 = LLM(model_path)
-```
-
-### Workaround 2: Subprocess Testing
-
-```bash
-# Run each test group as separate process
-for i in $(seq 0 5 95); do
-    python test_ruler_niah.py --sample-indices $i-$((i+4)) --enable-offload
-done
-```
-
-### Workaround 3: Environment Variable Port
-
-```bash
-# Use different port for each run
-NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT=2334 python test.py
-NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT=2335 python test.py
-```

-## Testing the Fix
-
-After implementing the fix, verify with:
-
-```python
-# test_multiple_llm.py
-from nanovllm import LLM, SamplingParams
-
-for i in range(3):
-    print(f"Creating LLM instance {i+1}")
-    llm = LLM("path/to/model", enable_cpu_offload=True)
-    outputs = llm.generate(["Hello"], SamplingParams(max_tokens=10))
-    print(f"Instance {i+1} output: {outputs[0]['text']}")
-    del llm
-    print(f"Instance {i+1} deleted\n")
-
-print("All instances created and deleted successfully!")
-```
-
-Expected: No port conflict errors, all 3 instances work.
-
-## Priority
-
-**High** - This blocks grouped testing and any multi-LLM-instance workflows.

-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.v_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.self_attn.o_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.gate_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.up_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.mlp.down_proj.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.input_layernorm.weight`
-- `model.layers.{i}.post_attention_layernorm.weight`
+**关键问题**: `atexit` 只在 **Python 解释器退出** 时触发，而非对象被删除时！
 
-**结论**: Llama 的 `packed_modules_mapping` 与 Qwen3 相同，可以复用。
+#### 3. 问题时间线
+```
+1. 创建 LLM #1
+   ├── init_process_group() 绑定端口 2333 ✓
+   └── atexit.register(self.exit) 注册

+
+3. 创建 LLM #2
+   ├── init_process_group() 尝试绑定端口 2333
+   └── EADDRINUSE 错误 ❌

+4. 程序退出（此时 atexit 才运行）

+
+### `__del__` 的限制
+
+Python 的 `__del__` 不保证被调用：
+- 循环引用时可能不触发
+- 解释器关闭时可能无法访问依赖模块
+- 不应依赖于 `__del__` 进行关键资源清理
+
+但作为**额外防护层**是有价值的，因为：
+- 大多数情况下会被调用
+- 比没有好
+- 不影响其他清理机制

+
+### atexit.unregister 兼容性
+- Python 3.7+ 支持
+- 需要传入同一个函数对象
+- 使用 `self._atexit_handler` 而非 `self.exit` 以便正确注销
+
+### 端口检测方法
+```python
+def _check_port_available(port: int, host: str = "localhost") -> bool:
+    """使用 socket connect_ex 检测端口是否被占用."""
+    try:
+        with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
+            s.settimeout(1)
+            result = s.connect_ex((host, port))
+            return result != 0  # 0 = connected = port in use
+    except Exception:
+        return True  # 假设可用
+```
+
+**注意**: 这种检测存在 TOCTOU (Time-of-check to time-of-use) 竞争条件，但对于我们的用例足够了。

+### Key Features After Fix
+
+1. **Multi-GPU Parallel Testing**
+   ```bash
+   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test1.py &
+   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python test2.py &
+   # Both run with different auto-assigned ports
+   ```
+
+2. **Sequential LLM Creation**
+   ```python
+   for i in range(3):
+       with LLM(model_path) as llm:
+           outputs = llm.generate(prompts, params)
+       # Automatically cleaned up
+   ```
+
+3. **Backward Compatible**
+   - `NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT` env var still works
+   - `llm.exit()` still works (alias for `close()`)

-# Task Plan: Enable CUDA Graphs for CPU Offload Mode
+# Task Plan: Fix Torch Distributed Port Conflict
 
-## Current Status: ✅ COMPLETED
+## Goal
+支持多卡环境下同时启动多个独立的 nanovllm 进程进行测试，无需手动管理端口。
 
-### Phase 0 Completed: Refactor Offload Decode to Use Standard Attention Path
+## Problem Analysis
 
-### Phases 1-3 Completed: CUDA Graph Support for Offload Mode
+### 核心问题
+```
+当前：所有 nanovllm 实例默认使用端口 2333
+     └── 多个独立进程同时运行时会冲突！
 
-**Implementation**: Added per-layer CUDA graph capture and replay for offload decode path.
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test1.py  # 绑定端口 2333 ✓
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python test2.py  # 尝试绑定 2333 → EADDRINUSE ❌
+```
 
-**Key Changes**:
-1. `capture_offload_cudagraph()` captures one graph per transformer layer
-2. Each graph uses the corresponding ring buffer slot based on `layer_id % num_buffers`
-3. `run_layerwise_offload_decode()` replays graphs when `enforce_eager=False`
-4. Synchronization added between graph replays to ensure correct data flow
-
-**Test Results**:
-- `test_needle.py --input-len 32768 --enable-offload --use-cuda-graph`: **PASSED**
+### 根本原因
+- 端口是系统级资源，与 GPU 无关
+- 即使使用不同 GPU，端口仍会冲突
+- 当前硬编码默认端口 `2333`

-### Previous Work: Refactor Offload Decode to Use Standard Attention Path
+## Solution: Dynamic Port Allocation
 
-**Problem solved**: The original offload decode (`run_layerwise_offload_decode`) bypassed `Attention.forward()` by manually calling attention components. This was inconsistent with the standard execution path.
-
-**Solution implemented**: Refactored to use `layer.forward()` which goes through:
-```
-Qwen3DecoderLayer.forward()
-  → Qwen3Attention.forward()
-    → Attention.forward()  ← Now properly used!
-```
-
-### Code Changes Made
-
-**File**: `nanovllm/engine/model_runner.py`
-
-1. **`run_layerwise_offload_decode()` (line 841-991)** - Completely refactored:
-
-   Before (bypassed Attention):
-   ```python
-   qkv = layer.self_attn.qkv_proj(hidden_ln)
-   q, k_new, v_new = qkv.split(...)
-   q = layer.self_attn.q_norm(...)
-   k = layer.self_attn.k_norm(...)
-   q, k = layer.self_attn.rotary_emb(...)
-   attn_output = flash_attn_varlen_func(q, k_full, v_full, ...)  # Direct call!
-   hidden_states = layer.self_attn.o_proj(attn_output)
-   ```
-
-   After (uses standard path):
-   ```python
-   # Set up Attention module's cache to ring buffer
-   attn_module.k_cache = offload_engine.layer_k_cache[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
-   attn_module.v_cache = offload_engine.layer_v_cache[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
-
-   # Set context for contiguous mode
-   set_context(is_prefill=False, slot_mapping=..., context_lens=..., block_tables=None)
-
-   # Standard layer forward - goes through Attention.forward()!
-   hidden_states, residual = layer(positions, hidden_states, residual)
-   ```
-
-2. **`ModelRunner.__init__()` (line 46-57)** - Conditional CUDA graph capture:
-   ```python
-   if not self.enforce_eager:
-       if config.enable_cpu_offload:
-           # TODO: Implement capture_offload_cudagraph()
-           pass  # Temporarily use eager execution
-       else:
-           self.capture_cudagraph()
-   ```
-
-### Test Results
-
-| Test | Mode | Status |
-|------|------|--------|
-| `test_needle.py --input-len 4096` | GPU-only | PASSED |
-| `test_needle.py --input-len 4096 --enable-offload` | CPU offload | PASSED |
-
-## Remaining Work: Implement Offload CUDA Graph
-
-### Why Standard `capture_cudagraph()` Cannot Be Used
-
-The standard capture function captures the PagedAttention decode path:
+### 核心方案
 ```python
-# capture_cudagraph() sets up:
-k_cache: [num_blocks, block_size, kv_heads, head_dim]  # PagedAttention format
-block_tables: [...] # Block indices for paged indexing
+def _find_free_port() -> int:
+    """让系统自动分配一个空闲端口"""
+    with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
+        s.bind(('', 0))
+        return s.getsockname()[1]
+
+# 优先使用环境变量，否则自动分配
+port = os.environ.get("NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT")
+if port is None:
+    port = _find_free_port()
+else:
+    port = int(port)
 ```
 
-But offload mode uses contiguous ring buffer:
-```python
-# Offload decode sets up:
-k_cache: [1, max_seq_len, kv_heads, head_dim]  # Contiguous format
-block_tables: None  # No paging
+### 效果
+```bash
+# 无需手动指定端口，可以同时运行多个测试
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test1.py &  # 自动端口 54321
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python test2.py &  # 自动端口 54322
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 python test3.py &  # 自动端口 54323
+
+# 仍然支持手动指定（向后兼容）
+NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT=2333 python test.py
 ```
 
-### Implementation Plan for `capture_offload_cudagraph()`
-
-#### Phase 1: Prepare Fixed-Address Tensors
-
-```python
-@torch.inference_mode()
-def capture_offload_cudagraph(self):
-    """Capture CUDA graphs for offload decode using ring buffer."""
-    offload_engine = self.kvcache_manager.offload_engine
-    num_buffers = offload_engine.num_kv_buffers
-
-    # Fixed-address tensors for graph capture
-    input_ids = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.int64, device="cuda")
-    positions = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.int64, device="cuda")
-    slot_mapping = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
-    context_lens = torch.zeros(1, dtype=torch.int32, device="cuda")
-
-    self.offload_graphs = {}
-    self.offload_graph_pool = None
-```
-
-#### Phase 2: Capture Per-Buffer Graphs
-
-Since layer processing rotates through ring buffers (`layer_id % num_buffers`), we need graphs for each buffer slot:
-
-```python
-    for buffer_idx in range(num_buffers):
-        graph = torch.cuda.CUDAGraph()
-
-        # Set Attention cache to this buffer slot (fixed address)
-        for layer in self.model.model.layers:
-            layer.self_attn.attn.k_cache = offload_engine.layer_k_cache[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
-            layer.self_attn.attn.v_cache = offload_engine.layer_v_cache[buffer_idx:buffer_idx+1]
-
-        # Set context
-        set_context(is_prefill=False, slot_mapping=slot_mapping,
-                    context_lens=context_lens, block_tables=None)
-
-        # Warmup
-        hidden = self.model.model.embed_tokens(input_ids)
-        residual = None
-        for layer_id, layer in enumerate(self.model.model.layers):
-            if layer_id % num_buffers == buffer_idx:
-                hidden, residual = layer(positions, hidden, residual)
-
-        # Capture
-        with torch.cuda.graph(graph, self.offload_graph_pool):
-            # Same operations
-            ...
-
-        self.offload_graphs[buffer_idx] = graph
-```
-
-#### Phase 3: Use Graphs in Decode
-
-Modify `run_layerwise_offload_decode()` to replay graphs:
-
-```python
-for layer_id in range(num_layers):
-    current_buffer = layer_id % num_buffers
-
-    # Wait for H2D load
-    offload_engine.wait_buffer_load(current_buffer)
-
-    # Copy decode buffer to ring buffer (same as current)
-    ...
-
-    # Update graph variables
-    self.offload_graph_vars["positions"][0] = positions[0]
-    self.offload_graph_vars["slot_mapping"][0] = context_len
-    self.offload_graph_vars["context_lens"][0] = context_len + 1
-
-    # Replay graph instead of eager forward
-    self.offload_graphs[current_buffer].replay()
-
-    # Copy new KV to decode buffer (same as current)
-    ...
-```
-
-### Challenges and Considerations
-
-| Challenge | Solution |
-|-----------|----------|
-| H2D transfers interleaved with compute | H2D happens outside graph, only compute is captured |
-| Different layers use different buffers | Capture per-buffer graphs, replay correct one |
-| Variable context length | Use `cache_seqlens` parameter (fixed address, variable value) |
-| Per-layer buffer rotation | Graph captures single-layer forward, loop in Python |
-
-### Alternative: Full-Decode Graph (More Complex)
-
-Instead of per-layer graphs, capture entire decode step:
-1. Complete all H2D loads before graph
-2. Single graph covers all layers
-3. Better kernel fusion, less CPU overhead
-4. More complex to implement (need to handle buffer rotation inside graph)

+
+### Phase 4: 文档更新 [pending]
+**File**: `docs/torch_distributed_port_issue.md`
+
+更新文档标记问题已通过动态端口分配解决。
+
+---
+
+## Usage After Fix
+
+### 场景 1: 多进程并行测试（主要场景）
+```bash
+# 无需任何额外配置，直接运行
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test_group1.py &
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python test_group2.py &
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 python test_group3.py &
+wait
+```
+
+### 场景 2: 同一进程顺序创建（也支持）
+```python
+for i in range(3):
+    with LLM(model_path) as llm:
+        outputs = llm.generate(prompts, params)
+    # 自动清理，下一个可以使用新的随机端口
+```
+
+### 场景 3: 手动指定端口（向后兼容）
+```bash
+NANOVLLM_DIST_PORT=2333 python test.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] 多个独立进程可以同时运行（不同 GPU）
+- [ ] 无需手动指定端口
+- [ ] 向后兼容（环境变量仍有效）
+- [ ] 同一进程顺序创建也能工作
+- [ ] 资源正确清理
