🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
_varlen_bwd can route to cuDNN after the forward pass ran on FlashAttention.
_varlen_supported accepts seqused_k, block_table, and num_splits. Line 231 calls it with ws only, so those three default to None and the predicate returns True. The comment claims the same predicate ran in the forward pass. That is not correct: _varlen_fwd at Line 193 passes all four arguments and falls back to flash when block_table or seqused_k is set.
For a paged-KV or split forward pass, the backward pass then runs the cuDNN THD kernel over key/value that hold paged blocks. The gradients are wrong, or the operator fails.
The backward op schema does not carry block_table. Detect the mismatch instead. One option: record the routing decision in rng_state, which the forward pass already returns and the backward pass already receives. Another option: raise an explicit error for the unsupported case.

PyTorch 2.13 register_flash_attention_impl register_fn handle remove torch.library.Library _destroy
💡 Result:
In PyTorch, the register_flash_attention_impl function and its associated mechanisms are part of the Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) registry system [1][2]. They are designed for SDPA backend providers to register and manage custom kernels with the PyTorch dispatcher [2][3]. Key components of this system include: 1. register_flash_attention_impl: This function registers a callable (register_fn) that performs the actual dispatcher registration for a specific flash attention implementation (e.g., "FA4") [2][3]. 2. register_fn: When invoked (via activate_flash_attention_impl), this callable performs the registration with the PyTorch dispatcher [3]. It may optionally return a FlashAttentionHandle object [2][3]. 3. handle and remove: The FlashAttentionHandle is used to maintain the state of the registered implementation [2][3]. If a handle is returned, the registry stores it [3]. When restore_flash_attention_impl is called to revert to the default implementation, the system calls the remove() method on the active handle to clean up or unregister the custom kernel [4]. Regarding torch.library.Library and _destroy: While torch.library.Library is a core PyTorch mechanism for registering custom operators and kernels with the dispatcher, it manages registrations and their lifetimes automatically via handle objects [5]. The internal _destroy method (or similar lifecycle cleanup methods) is typically managed by the internal C++ dispatch layer to ensure that when a library object goes out of scope or is explicitly removed, the associated registrations are destroyed or disabled to prevent dangling pointers or invalid states [4][6]. Users generally do not interact with _destroy directly; rather, they use the high-level Python API (like handle.remove()) or manage the scope of the torch.library.Library object [5][4].

site:github.com/pytorch/pytorch torch/nn/attention/_registry.py register_flash_attention_impl 2.13 _destroy Library
💡 Result:
In PyTorch, the function register_flash_attention_impl, located in torch/nn/attention/_registry.py, is used by Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) backend providers to register their flash attention implementations with the PyTorch dispatcher [1][2]. Regarding the "_destroy" reference in your query, the current implementation of the flash attention registry in PyTorch does not include a function named _destroy [1][2]. Instead, the documentation explicitly notes that registered implementations are kept alive for the lifetime of the process, stating: "the registry keeps that handle alive for the lifetime of the process (until explicit uninstall support exists)" [1][3][4]. This implies that there is currently no public or internal "_destroy" mechanism for these library handles, consistent with the documented lack of explicit uninstall support [1][3]. If you are encountering a reference to a _destroy method, it may be part of an internal, undocumented, or experimental API, or it could be a misunderstanding of the current design where library lifecycles are managed for the duration of the process [1].

site:docs.pytorch.org/docs/2.13 torch.library.Library _destroy register_flash_attention_impl
💡 Result:
The terms mentioned, torch.library.Library and register_flash_attention_impl, are associated with PyTorch's extension and kernel registration mechanisms, though they do not constitute a single standard public API workflow [1][2]. torch.library.Library is a PyTorch class used in the C++ and Python APIs for defining and registering custom operators into the PyTorch dispatcher [3]. It is typically used by extension authors to integrate custom operations (like specialized kernels) so they can be dispatched through standard PyTorch functions. The _destroy method is generally used internally by the PyTorch library system to clean up or unregister these library objects when they are no longer needed, ensuring that the dispatcher state remains consistent. register_flash_attention_impl is an internal or experimental function related to the registration of Flash Attention kernels [1]. In recent PyTorch versions (such as those involving FlexAttention), Flash Attention implementations can be registered as part of the attention backend system [1]. This allows the user to select specific kernel implementations (e.g., "FLASH", "TRITON") for attention operations. In summary: 1. torch.library.Library: A core utility for registering custom operators and kernels with the PyTorch dispatcher. The _destroy method is an internal cleanup mechanism for these libraries. 2. register_flash_attention_impl: An internal function used to register or provide implementations for Flash Attention within PyTorch's attention handling framework [1]. These components are typically utilized by developers building high-performance kernels or extending PyTorch's operator dispatch system, rather than by end-users writing standard neural network models [1][3].

"until explicit uninstall support exists" "register_flash_attention_impl"
💡 Result:
The phrase "until explicit uninstall support exists" appears in the documentation for the PyTorch function torch.nn.attention.activate_flash_attention_impl [1][2]. In the context of registering and activating custom Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) backends in PyTorch, when a backend's register_flash_attention_impl callable returns a FlashAttentionHandle, the PyTorch registry keeps that handle alive for the lifetime of the process [1][3]. The note "(until explicit uninstall support exists)" is included in the documentation to clarify that, currently, there is no mechanism to explicitly uninstall or remove these registered handles once they have been activated for the duration of the process [1][4]. This design ensures that necessary state for the flash attention implementation remains available for the process's lifetime, but it also reflects a limitation in the current registration API where backend providers cannot dynamically remove their implementations [1][5].

Guard the use of torch.library.Library._destroy(). PyTorch 2.13 defines this private method, while the registry only requires the handle to implement remove().

served_plan_names reports only the experimental forward cache.
The function iterates _cudnn_ops._fprop_cache, which belongs to cudnn.experimental.ops.sdpa. After registry activation, the varlen forward path runs torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd from cudnn.sdpa.fwd.torch_op and populates _graph_cache in that module. Those plans never appear in the returned list. A caller that debugs a varlen run gets an empty or misleading result.
Iterate both caches, and label each entry with its source.

_int32_col does not move the index tensors to the device.
_int32_col calls .to(torch.int32) only. It preserves the device. If a caller passes cu_seqlens_q, cu_seqlens_kv, seq_len_q, or seq_len_kv on the CPU, cuDNN receives a host pointer as a device pointer. The failure is an illegal memory access, not a clear error. The operator is public through torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd, so the path is reachable.

sdpa is a new frontend-only Python API without an APIBase subclass or a lazy export.
The module docstring at Lines 32-33 states the module is not exported through the lazy table in python/cudnn/__init__.py. The coding guidelines require an APIBase subclass and wrapper plus a lazy export for every new frontend-only Python API. Documentation and pytest coverage are present. Add the missing APIBase wrapper and the lazy export, or record an explicit exemption for the prototype status.
As per coding guidelines: "Every new frontend-only Python API must include an APIBase subclass and wrapper, a lazy export in python/cudnn/__init__.py, documentation under docs/fe-oss-apis/, and pytest coverage under test/python/fe_api/."

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject cu_seqlens_kv supplied without cu_seqlens_q.
Line 337 derives is_thd from cu_seqlens_q only. If a caller passes cu_seqlens_kv (and max_seqlen_*) but omits cu_seqlens_q, control falls to the dense branch. That branch never reads cu_seqlens_kv, so the varlen intent is dropped without an error and the op attends over padding tokens. The op is public through torch.ops.cudnn.sdpa_fwd, so the path is reachable.
Add a symmetric guard next to the existing varlen checks.

Family-local torch contract for the features torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention cannot express: attention sinks, sliding window, bottom-right causal, padded batches, and THD/varlen packing (FA-style (T,H,D) + cu_seqlens). The ops build pygraph sdpa/sdpa_backward nodes; the Router picks the serving plan (FROST OSS kernels or backend engines) per config. Contract highlights: - register_fake meta kernels mirror the real kernels' output strides; torch.library.opcheck passes on both paths, including dynamic-shape AOT dispatch (torch.compile contract), and is locked in by a test. - sdpa_fwd is differentiable on the varlen path via register_autograd; the glue converts packed TH1 stats to the padded LSE layout device-side (no host reads, capture/tracing-safe). Dense and sink backward raise NotImplementedError until their engine contracts land. - Thread-safe: thread-local cuDNN handles (a handle must not be used from two threads), serialized graph builds, bounded (FIFO) graph cache. - Validation: one io dtype per call, k/o/grad_out shape checks, int32 ragged-offset overflow guards, inert-flag rejection (causal_bottom_right without an active band), clone() not contiguous() for base-pointer realignment (contiguous() cannot fix a misaligned base). cudnn::sdpa_fwd / cudnn::sdpa_bwd are the canonical names; the experimental dense module's backward is renamed cudnn::sdpa_bwd_legacy so both modules coexist in one process until it is removed. Tests (14, L0): sinks/window/bottom-right/padded dense with LSE value checks against an fp32 reference; THD fwd/bwd incl. GQA, kv-interleaved views, end-to-end autograd; opcheck.

Graduates the PyTorch-integration bridge into the wheel. Importing
cudnn.torch registers the "CUDNN" provider with torch.nn.attention's
flash-attention implementation registry (PyTorch 2.13+, the same mechanism
FA3/FA4 use); activation stays explicit:
import cudnn.torch
torch.nn.attention.activate_flash_attention_impl("CUDNN")
After activation, F.scaled_dot_product_attention's cuDNN backend and
torch.nn.attention.varlen.varlen_attn run on the cuDNN Python API via the
cudnn::sdpa_fwd / sdpa_bwd custom ops, with hybrid fallback to the existing
implementations for what the python path does not serve yet: dense
bias/dropout forwards, every dense backward (until dense lands in
cudnn::sdpa_bwd), and paged/asymmetric-window varlen (stock flash kernels).
Dense forwards adopt the query's layout permutation. Unlike the in-tree
cuDNN varlen branch, the provider serves GQA and causal sliding windows.
restore_flash_attention_impl() reverts; torch < 2.13 uses install().
No dependency on the experimental ops module. The [cutedsl] import boundary
is preserved (import cudnn stays torch-free; cudnn.torch is explicit
opt-in). Stacked on the cudnn::sdpa_fwd / cudnn::sdpa_bwd ops PR.
