Description

cuda::__get_default_memory_pool applies the library's retention policy to the driver's default pool by reading (and, the first time, writing) the release-threshold attribute. cuMemPoolGetAttribute / cuMemPoolSetAttribute are "potentially unsafe" driver calls: while the calling thread is inside a global or thread-local stream capture they fail with CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_UNSUPPORTED and invalidate the capture. The default-pool lookup itself (cuMemGetDefaultMemPool, device attribute queries) is a pure query and is legal under capture; only the policy step is not.

So any lazy first touch of a default pool under an active capture threw:

  • the first cuda::device_default_memory_pool() of a process,
  • a pool ref constructed while capturing,
  • every consumer that resolves the pool on its allocation path — cudax's locality-domain data places do since [STF] use driver's memory pool for locality domains #11202, which is how this surfaced (sharded graph-capture tests aborting with operation not permitted when stream is capturing(900): Failed to get attribute for a memory pool).

Fix

Run the policy step inside a new __relaxed_capture_scope: an RAII scope around cuThreadExchangeStreamCaptureMode that puts the calling thread in relaxed capture mode and restores the previous mode on exit.

  • Capture mode is a per-thread property, so this needs no stream, works for global and thread-local captures alike, and has no observable effect when the thread is not capturing (there is no query for a thread's mode; the exchange is the only per-thread primitive).
  • The attribute write executes immediately rather than being recorded into the graph, which is the intent for a process-global setting. Nothing that should be captured is issued inside the scope.
  • Cost: two driver calls, ~50 ns measured on GB300 / driver 615.44.

Adds __driver::__threadExchangeStreamCaptureMode.

Test

libcudacxx/test/libcudacxx/cuda/memory_resource/resources/default_pool_under_capture.cu begins a capture in global and in thread-local mode, resolves the device default pool through the public once-only accessor (deliberately the first touch of the process) and through the helper, allocates from the pool inside the capture, and checks the capture ends successfully with at least one node and that the policy was applied. A final section proves the thread's mode is restored: an unsafe pool query right after the accessor is refused again. Driver entry points only, as the ccclrt fixture requires.

Fails before the fix (unexpected cuda_error exception), passes after. memory_pools, locality_domain_memory_pool and device_memory_resource tests unchanged. Verified on GB300, CTK 13.4.

Not in this PR

cudax's locality_domain_data_place_impl::allocate still calls the accessor per allocation (~+80 ns over a cached handle); caching the handle is a separate cudax follow-up. This PR makes the lazy path correct wherever it happens.

`__get_default_memory_pool` applies the library's retention policy to the
driver's default pool by reading (and, the first time, writing) the
release-threshold attribute. `cuMemPoolGetAttribute`/`SetAttribute` are
"potentially unsafe" driver calls: while the calling thread is in a global or
thread-local stream capture they fail with CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_UNSUPPORTED
and invalidate the capture. The default-pool lookup itself is a pure query and
is legal under capture; only the policy step is not.

Any lazy first touch of a default pool under an active capture therefore threw:
the first `device_default_memory_pool()` of a process, a pool ref constructed
while capturing, and every consumer that resolves the pool on its allocation
path (cudax's locality-domain data places since NVIDIA#11202, which broke the
sharded graph-capture tests).

Fix: run the policy step inside a `__relaxed_capture_scope`, an RAII scope
around `cuThreadExchangeStreamCaptureMode` that puts the calling thread in
relaxed capture mode and restores the previous mode on exit. Capture mode is a
per-thread property, so this is independent of any stream, has no observable
effect when the thread is not capturing, and costs two cheap driver calls
(~50 ns measured). The attribute write executes immediately rather than being
recorded, which is the intent for a process-global setting. Nothing that
should be captured is issued inside the scope.

Adds `__driver::__threadExchangeStreamCaptureMode`.

Test (libcudacxx/test/.../resources/default_pool_under_capture.cu): begins a
capture in global and in thread-local mode, resolves the device default pool
through the public once-only accessor (first touch of the process, on purpose)
and through the helper, allocates from the pool inside the capture, and checks
the capture ends successfully with at least one node and that the policy was
applied. A final section proves the thread's mode is restored: an unsafe pool
query right after the accessor is refused again. Driver entry points only, as
the ccclrt fixture requires. Fails before the fix with "operation not
permitted when stream is capturing(900): Failed to get attribute for a memory
pool"; passes after. memory_pools, locality_domain_memory_pool and
device_memory_resource tests unchanged.

suggestion: Assert the exact restored capture mode.

For each capture_modes case, use ::cuda::__driver::__threadExchangeStreamCaptureMode after cuda::__get_default_memory_pool, assert that the exchanged value equals c.mode, then exchange it back. The current check covers only global mode; restoring thread-local mode as global could still pass. Use the driver wrapper because this test must not call cudart.

Since CUDA 13.x `CUmemLocation::id` lives inside an anonymous union (next to
the `localized` struct), so `CUmemLocation{type, id}` brace-elides a
subobject and clang 20 promotes -Wmissing-braces to an error under -Werror
in the CUDA 13.3 + llvm20 "Build libcudacxx" job. Default-initialize and
assign the fields instead, matching the style used in memory_pool_base.h.

important: capture_modes runs "global" before "thread-local". device_default_memory_pool(dev) initializes each __default_device_memory_pool through __call_once, so the thread-local iteration uses the cached pool and does not exercise first-use initialization. A regression in that path can pass. Put "thread-local" before "global" in capture_modes to give the thread-local case fresh per-device initialization coverage.

clang-tidy (misc-const-correctness, WarningsAsErrors) flagged the two
`cuda::stream stream{dev};` locals in default_pool_under_capture.cu: the
streams are only ever read through the const `get()` accessor and passed
to `allocate`/`deallocate` by value as a `stream_ref`, so they can be
`const`, matching how the sibling memory_resource tests declare them.

AI failure analysis

1. cuVS IVF-RaBitQ cannot resolve rmm::cuda_stream_view · 2 jobs

Explanation: Both CUDA 13.3 jobs first fail in the same cuVS IVF-RaBitQ headers, while the preceding RMM build confirms that `cuda_stream_view` still exists but is deprecated. This indicates missing or conditional header visibility in those cuVS translation units; the exact trigger is uncertain because the logs contain no preprocessor/include trace, and the PR diff does not modify RMM or cuVS sources.

Narrowly reproduce one failing cuVS IVF-RaBitQ fatbin target with CUDA 13.3 and inspect the preprocessed include trace to determine why `rmm/cuda_stream_view.hpp` is not visible; compare the PR head against its base before modifying CCCL. Prefer migrating the two members in `cuvs/cpp/src/neighbors/ivf_rabitq/gpu_index/initializer_gpu.cuh` and `quantizer_gpu.cuh` from deprecated `rmm::cuda_stream_view` to `cuda::stream_ref` with an explicit supported CUDA stream header; if migration is not immediately viable, add a direct `#include <rmm/cuda_stream_view.hpp>` instead of relying on a transitive include. If the failure reproduces against base CCCL, update or pin the external RAPIDS/cuVS revision rather than changing the stream-capture patch. Validate by compiling a single failing IVF-RaBitQ generated kernel, then rerun the two focused RAPIDS matrix shards.

* Drop the local locality-domain workaround for capture-time allocation:
  `cuda::__get_default_memory_pool` is now legal under stream capture
