Summary

  • On ROCm, some Triton builds don’t expose triton_key, which makes the torch.compile/Inductor path crash during LoRA backward.
  • This change detects that case and disables torch.compile/Inductor only on ROCm, avoiding the backend crash while leaving CUDA behavior unchanged.

Changes

  • unsloth/import_fixes.py: add fix_rocm_triton_key_error() to detect missing triton_key on ROCm and set TORCHINDUCTOR_DISABLE + TORCH_COMPILE_DISABLE.
  • unsloth/init.py: invoke the new fix during import.

Behavior

  • ROCm only; no change on NVIDIA/CUDA.
  • If Triton already has triton_key, nothing is changed.

Summary of Changes

Hello @hnxnq7, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a targeted solution to prevent crashes in ROCm environments when using torch.compile or Inductor, which can occur if the installed Triton version lacks the triton_key symbol. By conditionally disabling these features only when the specific problematic condition is met on ROCm, the change ensures stability without affecting CUDA users or ROCm users with compatible Triton builds. This enhances the robustness of the system by gracefully handling a known platform-specific dependency issue.

Highlights

  • ROCm Compatibility Fix: Introduces a fix specifically for ROCm environments where torch.compile and Inductor might crash due to a missing triton_key in some Triton builds.
  • Conditional Disablement: The system now detects if triton_key is absent on ROCm and, if so, automatically disables torch.compile and Inductor by setting specific environment variables (TORCHINDUCTOR_DISABLE, TORCH_COMPILE_DISABLE).
  • No Impact on CUDA: This change is strictly for ROCm and does not alter the behavior or functionality on NVIDIA/CUDA platforms.
  • Idempotent Behavior: If Triton already exposes triton_key on ROCm, the fix does nothing, ensuring no unnecessary changes to working configurations.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a safeguard for ROCm environments where an incomplete Triton installation (missing triton_key) can cause torch.compile to crash. The fix correctly identifies this scenario and disables torch.compile and Inductor by setting environment variables, which is a clean and effective approach. The changes are well-isolated. My review includes a suggestion to improve the robustness of the import checks in the new fix_rocm_triton_key_error function by using more specific exception handling.
