When running models with FastLayerNorm (like Llama) on Blackwell GPUs (eg. RTX 5060 Ti), the following error occurs:

CUDA Error: no kernel image is available for execution on the device /usr/src/flash-attention/csrc/layer_norm/ln_fwd_kernels.cuh 236 rank=0

This happens because the FastLayerNorm CUDA kernel is not compiled for the Blackwell compute capability (12.0 for RTX 5xxx), but the code still attempts to use it.

What this PR does

  • Adds a simple compute capability check:

    major, _ = torch.cuda.get_device_capability()
    is_blackwell = major > 9

Fixes # (issue)
Fixing #3342
