MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2 allocated index-K caches for layers 3..N-1 whenever the caller passed no sparse_layer_ids, while the model selects sparse attention per layer from sparse_attention_config.sparse_attention_freq. For a config whose sparse layers differ from that fixed split, a sparse layer found no index-K cache (get_index_k_buffer() returned None) and dense layers were laid out as sparse ones. Build the default from the pretrained_config keyword the executor already passes to the manager, with the same get_sparse_layer_ids() the model uses; the helper moves to minimax_m3/common.py so the cache manager does not import the model module. The fixed split stays the fallback when no config spanning the target layers is given, so configs that match it see no change.

The title follows the repository template: it has a [None] ticket tag, a [fix] type, and a single sentence naming the main change. It states that MiniMax-M3 index-K cache layers are now derived from the model config, which matches the changeset: the new default_sparse_layer_ids helper, the get_sparse_layer_ids move to common.py, and the cache manager using the config's sparse split.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Verify index-K buffer registration, not only the mocked view.
These mocks bypass _build_base_config and return an index-K tensor without a registered Role.INDEX_KEY buffer. The test can pass if sparse layers have no index-K buffer configuration, which would break real cache initialization. Also assert that _extra_buffers_per_layer registers Role.INDEX_KEY for layers 0, 2, and 3, but not the dense or draft layers. As per path instructions, flag “mocks that bypass the behavior purportedly under test.”

Nit (non-blocking): this fallback is silent. Falling back is correct for a separate draft manager, and the new test relies on that (_text_config([1, 0, 1, 1, 0]) with 6 layers -> [3, 4, 5]), so an assert would be wrong here. But if a target manager is ever built with a num_layers that differs from num_hidden_layers, for example through an explicit num_layers or layer_mask in _create_kv_cache_manager, a checkpoint whose split isn't the default would quietly get the legacy range(3, N) layout again. Could we log at debug/info when a config is present but its count doesn't match and get_sparse_layer_ids(pretrained_config)[1] differs from the legacy split? That would make this case visible without changing behaviour.

Thanks, done in 236f2ba: when a config is present but its num_hidden_layers differs from the manager's target layer count and the config's own split is not the default, default_sparse_layer_ids now logs one info line before falling back to range(3, N). Behaviour is unchanged; test_default_sparse_layers_log_a_fallback_that_ignores_the_config covers it.

…g split Review follow-up. When a manager's target layer count differs from the model config's num_hidden_layers, default_sparse_layer_ids keeps the range(3, N) fallback. That is right for a separate draft manager, but if a target manager is ever built with a different layer count, a checkpoint with a non-default split would quietly get the legacy layout. Log one info line in that case, when the config's own split is not the default.

Description
Problem
The model and its KV cache manager decide which layers are sparse in two different ways:
MiniMaxM3DecoderLayer(tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_minimaxm3.py) reads the split from thecheckpoint:
get_sparse_layer_ids()marks layerias sparse whentext_config.sparse_attention_config["sparse_attention_freq"][i] != 0.MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2.__init__(
tensorrt_llm/_torch/attention/backends/sparse/minimax_m3/cache_manager.py:313-317onmain) ignores theconfig. When the caller passes no
sparse_layer_ids, which is what the executor does(
_create_kv_cache_managerinpyexecutor/_util.pynever passes them), it falls back tolist(range(3, num_target_layers)), which hard-codes three dense leading layers.The two agree only when
sparse_attention_freqis exactly[0, 0, 0, 1, ..., 1]. Any other split breaks thecache layout:
get_index_k_buffer(layer)returnsNone, so thesparse attention backend gets no index-K cache to write to or score against.
unused index-K page, it gets NVFP4 K/V when the KV cache is NVFP4, and on the Triton path it gets no
native attention-op pool. The dense attention path expects none of these.
Fix
get_sparse_layer_ids()moves frommodeling_minimaxm3.pyto the backend-neutralminimax_m3/common.py. The model imports it from there, somodeling_minimaxm3.get_sparse_layer_idsstill resolves. The function body is unchanged, and the cache manager can use it without importing the
model module.
default_sparse_layer_ids(pretrained_config, num_target_layers)incache_manager.pybuilds themanager's default:
pretrained_config.num_hidden_layersequals the manager's target layer count, it returns thesparse ids from
get_sparse_layer_ids(). This is exactly the split the model uses.draft manager), it keeps the old
range(3, num_target_layers)fallback.MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2.__init__readspretrained_configfrom its kwargs. It already readssparse_attention_configandnum_layersthat way, and the executor already passespretrained_config=configon the path that builds this manager. It then uses the new helper whensparse_layer_idsis not given.
Things that stay the same:
sparse_layer_idsstill wins.disable_index_value_layer_idsstill defaults to the sparse layers.follow
self.sparse_layer_ids, so they now follow the config too.Test Coverage
