When does this happen?

IF A nightly build of PyTorch that initializes CUDA context on import (via PR #112623) causes ray serialization errors and subsequent deadlock in distributed inference.

How others solved it

THEN Before starting Ray-based distributed inference, detect the buggy torch version by querying cuDeviceGetCount. If the error code is 0 (meaning CUDA was already initialized), advise to upgrade torch to a fixed version.

import torch
import ctypes
x = ctypes.c_int(-1)
ans = ctypes.CDLL('libcuda.so.1').cuDeviceGetCount(ctypes.byref(x))
if ans == 0:
    print("Buggy torch detected: CUDA context initialized on import. Upgrade torch.")
