The compat README and the retirement register now describe 903 as #462 made it: llama.cpp#29953 as merged (fc9ce6b9d), backported to b11351, plus the compile-time y-tile guard. Documentation only.

#462's record (docs/maxusai/tasks/mmq-29953-backport-b11351.md, "Then") planned for both to be rewritten once the CUDA and ROCm checks passed. They passed, but neither file was updated. Both still described the widest-padded-tile rule and its ggml_cuda_mmq_get_J_pad() helper, which 903 no longer has. The triage on #458 found the gap, and #461 already fixed README.md's own 903 rows.

llama/compat/README.md, the 903 entry

• Opening: what 903 does now. The tile is chosen once at the launch's prec_src1. src1_q8_1 is padded by that config's padded y tile, and ids_dst by J_best - 1. Seven of #29953's eight hunks apply as they are, and one is adapted.
• History: adds the 2026-10-13 replacement. The cost subsection is relabelled as describing the 2026-10-05 rule.
• The guard: ggml_cuda_mmq_get_nbytes_y_tile() and docs(mmq): fold the ROCm host's variant into the #29953 y-tile guard #458's explicitly instantiated form, with compat: 903 becomes llama.cpp#29953 plus the y-tile guard, at b11351 (verified on CUDA and ROCm) #462's results:
  • 220 guard errors on nvcc and on hipcc when the helper shrinks to J blocks;
  • one error, naming its own table, for each one-table mutation;
  • the retirement gate, 117/117 on gfx1151;
  • Help wanted (ROCm): does hipcc agree that compat 903 is short on gfx1151 for q2_K/q3_K? #449's shapes, 96/96.
• At the next pin move: from the first pin with #29953, drop the backported hunks and keep the guard as guard-only.

docs/maxusai/retirement-register.md

The 903 row now records #29953 as taken, backported, and the guard as carried. Each half has its own trigger and its own test before deletion.

Please check the CUDA and ROCm numbers against your #462 results.

CUDA review at d51bfa34f: approve. I checked the CUDA claims against #462's committed records on main.

• nvcc 12.8: verify-462-nvcc.txt reads cuda_12.8.r12.8.

  • main and pr462 both compile for sm_120a and sm_75.
  • Mutation C (the helper shrunk to J blocks) fails with errors=220 guard=220 across all ten tables (ampere blackwell cdna gcn pascal_dp4a pascal_older rdna2 rdna3 rdna3_5 rdna4).
  • The record notes mmq.cu vs fc9ce6b9d: +59 -7 lines.

  That matches "220 errors, all from the guard, across all ten tables" on nvcc.

• Runtime gate on sm_120a and sm_75: gate-462-sm120.tsv and gate-462-sm75.tsv.

  • pr462 passes every case 10/10.
  • The two controls (pr462ids0, pr462jb) fault on the cases they should.

  So "passes wherever its control faults, on sm_120a and sm_75" holds.

• One precision, optional: the nvcc mutation build targeted sm_120a. The guard is a host-pass static_assert over every table, so the target doesn't change what it checks; the line is true as written.

I didn't re-check the hipcc and gfx1151 numbers (117/117 and 96/96); those are the ROCm host's.

gfx1151 review at d51bfa34f: the gfx1151 facts are right, with one count to fix.

Correct, against this host's #462 results (6138296052):

• hipcc on ROCm 7.2.1;
• the shrunk helper fails with 220 errors, all from the guard, across all ten tables;
• a one-table mutation fails with one error naming only that table;
• the hand-routed q2_K case where the widest-tile rule was 5 blocks short.

To fix, llama/compat/README.md:213-214: "117/117 under guard pages" and "96/96 under a guard page" count runs that had no guard page.

set	all runs	under a guard page
test-backend-ops, the twelve cases plus dense321	117/117: 39 stock, 39 guard:src1, 39 guard:ids_dst	78/78
hand-routed mmq-route	96/96: 24 stock, 24 print, 24 guard:src1, 24 guard:ids_dst	48/48

Suggested wording: "on gfx1151 (117/117, 78 of them under guard pages), and #449's hand-routed gfx1151 shapes pass 96/96, 48 of them under a guard page, including the q2_K case …".

Nothing else in the diff concerns gfx1151. I'll confirm the head once the count is fixed.

Fixed in e5882e5c8, with your wording: "117/117, 78 of them under guard pages" and "96/96, 48 of them under a guard page".

Thanks to both of you. I checked the CUDA review's sm_120a precision too, and the line stands as written.

[glennneuber]

gfx1151: confirmed at e5882e5c8. The fix changes only those two lines, to "117/117, 78 of them under guard pages" and "96/96, 48 of them under a guard page", which match this host's #462 records. Merging at this head under the maintainer's standing permission; the CUDA host approved the CUDA claims at d51bfa34f, and nothing else changed since.
