Description

Problem

The cache_aware policy routes by cache affinity but has no concept of request length — long prefill requests (100K+ uncached tokens) and short requests compete for the same workers. On P/D disaggregated prefill fleets with heterogeneous worker pools (e.g. high-memory P4/P5 for long contexts, standard P1/P2/P3 for short), this causes long requests to pile up on workers that lack the KV capacity, while short workers sit idle.

Solution

Add a new self-contained routing policy cache_aware_length that splits healthy workers into a long pool (label pool=long) and a short pool (remaining workers), then applies cache-affinity routing on top of the split. The split is label-driven and independent of WorkerType, so it works for both P/D disaggregated prefill fleets and regular single-node deployments.

Routing pipeline (5 steps):

Step Condition Route target Record tree
1 All unhealthy 503 (None)
2 Global imbalance Healthy worker min-load
3 Tree missing Random healthy worker (init race)
3 Cache hit Highest-matching worker
3 Hit but unhealthy Clean stale + first healthy
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long pool free Long pool min-load
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long full, short idle Idle short worker (long→short overflow)
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long full, short busy Long pool min-load (queue)
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long unhealthy All-healthy min-load
4 Uncached < 100K, short pool free Short pool min-load
4 Uncached < 100K, short full, long free Long pool min-load (short→long overflow)
4 Uncached < 100K, both full Short pool min-load (fallback queue)
4 Uncached < 100K, short pool empty Long pool min-load
4 Uncached unknown / uncomputable All-healthy min-load
5 tree.insert_text + increment_processed

Uncached token source priority:

  1. X-Prompt-Tokens header (exact, supplied by upstream gateway)
  2. (input_chars - matched_chars) / chars_per_token (char-level estimate)
  3. None computable → all-healthy min-load

Changes

  • New file model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs — the policy (struct, config, 5-step pipeline, pool helpers, tree management) + 14 unit tests + 16 E2E tests
  • policies/mod.rsCacheAwareLengthConfig struct + Default impl; module declaration + re-export
  • config/types.rsPolicyConfig::CacheAwareLength enum variant + name() arm + 9 serde default functions
  • policies/factory.rscreate_from_config + create_by_name arms + test assertions
  • config/validation.rsvalidate_policy arm (threshold range + >0 constraints)
  • main.rs — 3 CLI value_parser allow-lists + 4 new CLI args + parse_policy arm
  • policies/registry.rs — init/remove hooks for both single-node and PD paths (parallel to existing cache_aware branches, no changes to existing branches)
  • routers/http/router.rs — E2E test helpers + 16 E2E tests covering all decision-table rows

Does not touch: mesh sync, KV event monitor, hash index, app_context.rs, protocol layer (WorkerType/WorkerSpec), or any existing policy code. Fully additive — the new policy is not instantiated unless configured, consuming no resources.

Test Plan

# Unit tests (policy logic, all 14 scenarios)
cargo test -p smg --lib -- cache_aware_length

# E2E tests (through real HTTP router select_worker_for_model, all 16 scenarios)
cargo test -p smg --lib -- cal_step

# Existing tests unaffected
cargo test -p smg --lib -- policies::factory
cargo test -p smg --lib -- validation
cargo test -p smg --lib -- registry::

All 30 tests pass (14 unit + 16 E2E). cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy clean on new code.

Checklist
  • cargo fmt passes
  • cargo clippy passes on new code (no new warnings)
  • Tests added (14 unit + 16 E2E covering all decision-table rows)

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added cache-aware length routing that prioritizes prompt cache affinity while balancing worker load.
    • Supports separate long- and short-request worker pools with configurable thresholds, overflow behavior, and queueing.
    • Added token estimation when exact prompt token counts are unavailable.
    • Added configurable cache eviction, load balancing, worker overload protection, load monitoring, and policy selection.
  • Improvements
    • Improved request retry handling to replay identical request content reliably.
    • Requests are released earlier when retries are disabled, reducing resource usage.

Walkthrough

Adds the cache_aware_length routing policy with cache affinity, token-based long and short pool selection, configuration support, worker registry integration, and routing tests. Adds owned request replay for retries and a Docker workflow that builds and publishes images to multiple registries.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7f731

This PR adds length-aware routing and changes image-publishing workflow behavior. The current head can apply different routing and eviction settings depending on configuration path, misclassify cached requests into the long pool, accept thresholds that disable imbalance protection, and leave publishing inputs or images stale; these concrete risks require fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

🟡 Nit

Add a test for a header-bearing request against a cached prefix.

Every header-bearing test uses a novel prompt, and every cache-matched test omits the header. No test exercises both together, which is exactly the combination where the header semantics discussed on lines 431-450 change the routing outcome. Add one case: seed a long prompt, then re-send it with X-Prompt-Tokens: 200000, and assert the intended pool.

As per coding guidelines: "Run the pr-test-analyzer agent to verify that tests adequately cover new or changed functionality."

🟡 Nit

The unhealthy-hit fallback ignores load.

This branch routes to healthy_indices[0], which is the lowest worker index, not the least-loaded worker. min_load_idx is already computed in step 1. When a matched tenant goes unhealthy, every request with that prefix lands on the same lowest-index worker until the tree entry is rebuilt.

Line 303 also purges only matched_tenants.first(). If several matched tenants are unhealthy, the remaining stale tenants survive and the same branch fires again on the next request.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-            if let Some(tenant) = result.matched_tenants.first() {
-                tree.remove_tenant_all(tenant);
-            }
-            let idx = healthy_indices[0];
+            // Purge every matched tenant that is no longer routable, not just
+            // the first, so the next request does not retake this branch.

+                if !healthy_indices

Capture the maximum load in the step-1 pass.

Line 210 states that step 1 reads each worker once via routing_state(). Lines 239-243 then take a second routing_state() pass over every healthy worker to find the maximum. That doubles the guard traffic on the routing hot path and can read values that changed since the first pass, so healthy_max and healthy_min may come from different instants. CacheAwarePolicy accumulates its aggregate inside the single pass instead.

♻️ Proposed refactor
         let mut healthy_indices: Vec<usize> = Vec::with_capacity(workers.len());

Align the eviction_interval_secs contract with the policy documentation.

This check rejects 0. CacheAwareLengthConfig in policies/mod.rs line 213 documents 0 as "disables", and CacheAwareLengthPolicy::with_config implements that behavior. Operators reading the config docstring will set 0 and get a startup error. Either accept 0 here or correct the docstring so the two agree.

🟣 Pre-existing

The name-guard-plus-downcast pattern is now duplicated six times.

This branch and the five that follow it repeat policy.name() == "..." followed by a downcast to the matching type. The name check is redundant: downcast_ref already returns None for any other type. Adding a second cache-aware policy doubled the arms. A small helper collapses all six sites and removes the risk that a future policy is added to one site but not the others.

/// Run `on_tree` against whichever tree-backed cache policy `policy` is.
fn with_cache_tree_policy(
    policy: &Arc<dyn LoadBalancingPolicy>,

    let any = policy.as_any();

Tighten the assertion so it tests the min-load branch.

The assertion accepts either worker, so it passes for any healthy selection and cannot fail if the uncached-unknown branch regresses to a different fallback. Both workers start at load 0, so the branch is deterministic once one load is pinned. Pin the long worker and assert the short worker.

🟡 Nit

Record why the cloned worker shares the load counter.

pin_load clones the BasicWorker into a new Arc, yet the assertions depend on the registry's copy observing the pinned load. That works only because BasicWorker::runtime is an ArcSwap<WorkerRuntime> whose clone shares the inner Arc, so both values read one counter. Every pin-based test in this block rests on that property. If a future change gives BasicWorker an owning clone, the pins become silent no-ops and several tests still pass for the wrong reason.

Document the max_tree_size divergence between the CLI and the config file.

This arm passes self.max_tree_size, whose CLI default is 67108864 (line 328). The serde default for the same field on PolicyConfig::CacheAwareLength is 10000 (default_cal_max_tree_size). A CLI-launched gateway and a config-file gateway therefore run this policy with tree bounds that differ by four orders of magnitude. The same applies to eviction_interval (CLI 120 vs serde 30) and cache_threshold (CLI 0.3 vs serde 0.3, aligned). Add a short comment stating that the shared cache-aware knobs are intentionally reused, or introduce policy-specific flags.

Reject zero at the CLI for the four new count flags.

ConfigValidator rejects 0 for chars_per_token, long_prefill_threshold, long_pool_max_load, and short_pool_max_load, so the failure is loud. Other count-like flags in this file reject 0 at parse time instead, which produces a clearer message. Reuse the existing helper for consistency.

GitHub Actions workflow permissions unspecified job default GITHUB_TOKEN permissions actions checkout persist-credentials true documentation

💡 Result:

When GitHub Actions workflow permissions are not explicitly defined in a workflow or job, the GITHUB_TOKEN inherits the default settings configured at the enterprise, organization, or repository level [1][2]. Depending on your repository's settings, this default may be either "read and write" for all scopes or "read" access only for specific scopes like contents and packages [3]. It is a recommended security practice to explicitly define the permissions needed for each job using the permissions key to follow the principle of least privilege [4][5]. Regarding the actions/checkout action, the persist-credentials input determines whether the authentication token (either the GITHUB_TOKEN or a provided SSH key) is persisted in the local Git configuration [6][7]. The default value for persist-credentials is true, which allows your scripts to run authenticated Git commands during the job [6][8][9]. The token is removed during the post-job cleanup [6][7]. Note that setting persist-credentials to false prevents the action from configuring these credentials, requiring you to manage authentication for Git operations manually if needed [6][7].

Restrict token scope and disable credential persistence.

Add permissions: contents: read to configure. Set persist-credentials: false on both actions/checkout@v4 steps.

GitHub Actions GITHUB_ENV subsequent steps env context expression env context action inputs

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, GITHUB_ENV is used to persist environment variables across steps within the same job [1][2]. When you write a key-value pair to the GITHUB_ENV file (e.g., echo "MY_VAR=value" >> $GITHUB_ENV), that variable becomes available to all subsequent steps in that job [1][3]. Key considerations include: 1. Scope: The step that writes to GITHUB_ENV does not have access to the new variable value immediately [1][2]. It only becomes accessible in subsequent steps [1]. 2. Context Accessibility: Once a variable is set via GITHUB_ENV, you can access it in two primary ways in later steps: - Shell Environment Variables: Use standard shell syntax (e.g., $MY_VAR for Bash or $env:MY_VAR for PowerShell) [3][4]. This is resolved by the runner's shell at runtime [3]. - env Context: You can use the ${{ env.MY_VAR }} syntax [5][4]. The env context is populated by GitHub Actions with variables defined at the workflow, job, or step levels, including those updated via GITHUB_ENV [5]. 3. Action Inputs: Action inputs are distinct from environment variables set via GITHUB_ENV [6]. Inputs are defined in an action's metadata and are automatically converted into environment variables prefixed with INPUT_ (e.g., an input named 'my-input' becomes INPUT_MY-INPUT) [6]. While you can use the env context to pass these values or others into an action, the GITHUB_ENV file is the correct mechanism for persisting dynamic values generated during the execution of a job for use in later steps [3][6]. When using the env context in expressions (e.g., in if conditionals), note that these are evaluated by GitHub Actions before the step is sent to the runner [3]. Consequently, if you need to use a variable for logic that determines whether a step runs, you must use a context (like env or github), as shell environment variables are not available at that stage [3].

site:docs.github.com/actions GITHUB_ENV env context example if env variable set GITHUB_ENV

💡 Result:

To use an environment variable set via GITHUB_ENV in a conditional (if statement) within a GitHub Actions workflow, you must reference it using the env context [1]. Variables appended to GITHUB_ENV in one step become available as environment variables in all subsequent steps within the same job [1]. Important distinctions: 1. GITHUB_ENV vs. env context: Variables set via GITHUB_ENV are available as standard shell environment variables in subsequent steps [1]. However, because if conditionals are evaluated by GitHub Actions before the job is sent to the runner, you must access these values using the env context (e.g., ${{ env.VAR_NAME }}) rather than standard shell syntax (e.g., $VAR_NAME) [1]. 2. Availability: Variables set in GITHUB_ENV are scoped to the specific job where they were defined and are not automatically passed to other jobs [1]. Example workflow: name: GITHUB_ENV Conditional Example on: workflow_dispatch jobs: example-job: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Set environment variable run: echo "MY_CONDITION=true" >> $GITHUB_ENV - name: Run only if variable is set if: ${{ env.MY_CONDITION == 'true' }} run: echo "The condition was met!" - name: Run only if variable is NOT set if: ${{ env.MY_CONDITION!= 'true' }} run: echo "The condition was not met." In this example, the steps use the ${{ env.MY_CONDITION }} syntax in the if field to evaluate the variable that was previously stored in GITHUB_ENV [1].

site:github.com/actions/runner GITHUB_ENV expression env context FileCommandManager environment variables

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, GITHUB_ENV is a mechanism that allows workflows to set environment variables that persist for subsequent steps [1]. It operates via the FileCommandManager in the runner's architecture [2]. How it works: 1. File Commands: At the beginning of each step, the runner creates a unique temporary file path designated for environment variable updates, which is exposed to the step via the GITHUB_ENV environment variable [1]. 2. Processing: When a step writes a key-value pair to this file (e.g., echo "MY_VAR=value" >> $GITHUB_ENV), the FileCommandManager identifies the update [2]. 3. Execution Context: The runner processes these commands at the end of the step [1]. It parses the file and updates the runner's internal global environment variable map and the env context [2][3]. 4. Env Context: The env context is a specialized dictionary used by the GitHub Actions expression evaluator (e.g., ${{ env.MY_VAR }}) [4]. When GITHUB_ENV is updated, the runner synchronizes this change to the env context, making the new variable available for expressions in future steps [4]. Key Technical Notes: - Scope: Variables set via GITHUB_ENV are available to all subsequent steps in the same job, but they do not affect the current step's environment variables [1]. - Blocked Variables: Certain variables, such as NODE_OPTIONS, are blocked from being set via GITHUB_ENV to prevent security and runner stability issues [2]. - Composite Actions: Behavior in composite actions can be complex; while the runner generates a GITHUB_ENV file per step, the propagation of these changes to the outer workflow context depends on specific runner implementation details and can sometimes be restricted [5][6]. - Parsing: The FileCommandManager expects a specific format (KEY=VALUE); invalid formats or unexpected data appended to the file can cause the step to fail with parsing errors [7].

🔴 Important

Add cache_aware_length to the Python binding. The Python policy choices, policy_from_str, PyO3 PolicyType, and Rust conversion omit this policy. Python users cannot select it.

The Go SDK uses a separate client-side policy path. Its omission does not block model_gateway configuration.

🔴 Important

Reject a non-finite balance_rel_threshold.

NaN < 1.0 evaluates to false, so balance_rel_threshold = NaN passes this check. In cache_aware_length.rs line 246 the gate then computes healthy_max as f32 > rel_threshold, which is always false against NaN. The global imbalance check is silently disabled instead of failing at startup. The CacheAware arm already uses is_finite() for its float knobs.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-                if *balance_rel_threshold < 1.0 {
+                if !balance_rel_threshold.is_finite() || *balance_rel_threshold < 1.0 {
                     return Err(ConfigError::InvalidValue {
                         field: "balance_rel_threshold".to_string(),
                         value: balance_rel_threshold.to_string(),
-                        reason: "Must be >= 1.0".to_string(),
+                        reason: "Must be finite and >= 1.0".to_string(),
                     });
                 }

As per coding guidelines: "Do not silently fall back to None or a default when configuration validation should fail loudly."

🔴 Important

One threshold is fed by two different quantities, and no test distinguishes them. compute_uncached_tokens returns the raw X-Prompt-Tokens value (total prompt tokens) in branch 1 and a matched-prefix-discounted count in branch 2, but both feed long_prefill_threshold, documented as an uncached-prefill boundary. The test suite cannot catch the divergence because header-bearing cases always use novel prompts.

  • model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs#L431-L450: discount the header value by the matched-prefix share so branch 1 and branch 2 measure the same quantity, or rename the field and threshold to say "total prompt tokens" and update the docs on line 30 and in config/types.rs line 658.
  • model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs#L563-L845: add a test that seeds a prompt, then re-sends the same prompt with X-Prompt-Tokens: 200000, and assert the intended pool. That case fails under one reading and passes under the other, so it pins the decision.

Add a new self-contained routing policy that splits healthy workers into
a long pool (label pool=long) and a short pool (remaining workers), then
applies cache-affinity routing on top. Designed for both P/D disaggregated
prefill fleets and regular single-node deployments.

Routing pipeline (5 steps):
- Step 1: health filter (empty fleet -> 503)
- Step 2: global imbalance check (same formula as cache_aware)
- Step 3: cache hit via per-model string radix tree
- Step 4: long/short pool split by uncached prefill tokens
  (X-Prompt-Tokens header or char-level estimate, 100K threshold)
- Step 5: record tree + return

Configuration: cache_threshold, balance_abs/rel_threshold,
eviction_interval_secs, max_tree_size, chars_per_token,
long_prefill_threshold, long_pool_max_load, short_pool_max_load.

Wired through PolicyConfig enum, factory, validation, CLI, and registry
init/remove hooks (single + PD paths). Does not touch mesh sync, KV
event monitor, or hash index -- fully additive, zero impact on existing
policies.

Tests: 14 unit tests + 16 E2E tests covering all decision-table rows.

1172-1192: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

🟡 Nit

The doc comment does not match the large-body path.

attach_sized_body wraps a body in reqwest::Body::wrap_stream once body.len() >= STREAM_UPSTREAM_BODY_OVER (see model_gateway/src/routers/common/mod.rs:50-63). A stream body makes RequestBuilder::try_clone() return None, so send_with_stale_conn_retry skips the resend for large requests instead of sharing the allocation by refcount. The existing test stale_conn_retry_skips_unclonable_bodies confirms that behavior. Adjust the comment so the stale-connection guard is documented as applying only to the inline-body case.

📝 Proposed comment fix
-    // Send an already-serialized request body. The stale-connection resend
-    // guard inside `send_with_stale_conn_retry` shares the body allocation by
-    // refcount, so the bytes live exactly until the response head arrives.
+    // Send an already-serialized request body. For an inline body the
+    // stale-connection resend guard inside `send_with_stale_conn_retry`
+    // shares the allocation by refcount, so the bytes live exactly until the

+    // wrap in a stream is not clonable, so that resend is skipped.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

🔴 Important Keep cache_aware_length defaults identical across configuration paths.

A bare CLI invocation uses the shared CLI defaults: balance_abs_threshold=64, balance_rel_threshold=1.5, eviction_interval_secs=120, and max_tree_size=67_108_864. Minimal serde configuration uses the CacheAwareLength defaults in model_gateway/src/config/types.rs: 32, 1.1, 30, and 10_000.

The same policy therefore has different routing and eviction behavior based on its configuration ingress. Resolve these values from one policy-specific default source. Add coverage for a bare CLI invocation and minimal serialized configuration.
