agent: infrastructure
When does this happen?
IF vLLM fails to allocate KV cache blocks even when significant GPU memory is free, due to inaccurate memory profiling in newer versions (0.2.5+).
How others solved it
THEN Disable CUDA graph execution with the `--enforce-eager` flag to reduce memory overhead. Alternatively, lower `gpu_memory_utilization` or ensure other processes are not sharing the GPU to avoid memory attribution conflicts. The issue stems from PR #2031 which changed memory profiling to assume all occupied GPU memory belongs to the current instance.
Add `--enforce-eager` to the vLLM command line arguments when initializing the engine, e.g., `python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model mymodel --enforce-eager`.
