:white_circle: #19901 Finer grained consistency check in reducer 💛
:black_circle: #19897 Only call into reducer if torch.is_grad_enabled() 💚
The existing code used
expect_autograd_hooks_as a proxy for thesituation where finalization of the previous iteration is needed. This
is not correct, however, since you may decide to completely ignore the
output of a DDP wrapped module. If this is the case, and no gradients
have been passed to the reducer, it is fine to keep going. This commit
adds a new variable
require_finalize_that tracks whether thefinalization is really needed.
