When does this happen?
IF Using a PyTorch nightly build (torch-2.2.0.dev20231116 to torch-2.3.0.dev20231224) that initializes CUDA context on 'import torch', causing pickle errors and triggering the deadlock mechanism when combined with vLLM distributed inference.
How others solved it
THEN Detect the buggy PyTorch version by checking if 'import torch' initializes CUDA without any explicit call. If the script below returns error code 0, the PyTorch version is buggy and should be upgraded to a stable release or a later nightly where the issue is fixed.
import torch
import ctypes
x = ctypes.c_int(-1)
ans = ctypes.CDLL('libcuda.so.1').cuDeviceGetCount(ctypes.byref(x))
if ans == 0:
print('Buggy PyTorch version detected; consider upgrading.')
else:
print('PyTorch version is safe.')Related patterns
