CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): gpu_arbiter: no discover/bulk-cancel of QUEUED ops by resource_id (blocks fence handling in tsk-krklez)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-5aiafr.

Fence handlers (tsk-krklez) could cancel RUNNING tasks via
cancel_running_for_leases but had no way to discover or cancel QUEUED ops
targeting a fenced node. queue_snapshot() did not surface resource_id, so fence
handlers could not discover which queued task_ids target a fenced node without
reaching into private state; a queued op for a fenced node would just sit until
admission failed on claim_lease -- a delayed error, not a proactive cancel.

  • queue_snapshot() now includes resource_id per entry.
  • New cancel_queued_for_resource(resource_id) cancels every queued op for a
    resource via cancel_op's race-safe _cancelled_ids mechanism, so the
    cooperative re-checks in _drain_queue (dequeue, post-admit, post-re-queue)
    stay consistent -- no second cancellation path is introduced.

GpuArbiter now reports each queued operation’s resource_id and provides resource-targeted cancellation for queued GPU operations. Tests cover matching cancellation, queue removal, future cancellation, and preservation of nonmatching operations.

Resource-targeted queue behavior

GpuArbiter cancels queued operations for a specified resource through the existing race-safe cancellation path. queue_snapshot() now includes each operation’s resource_id.
Behavior validation

Tests verify bulk cancellation, queue removal, future cancellation, nonmatching entries, and resource identifiers. The changelog documents the new behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 861ad

The change adds queued-operation discovery and cancellation by resource, but its documentation currently overstates cancellation coverage during task promotion; affected tasks may instead fail lease acquisition later. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this bounded documentation and behavior caveat addressed or explicitly accepted.

WARNING: Docstring claims the _cancelled_ids path is race-safe, but there is a window where _drain_queue has dequeued a task and spawned _run_gpu_task without yet registering it in _running (e.g., while awaiting claim_lease). In that window, cancel_op sees the task in neither _queued_entries nor _running, returns False, and the fenced task proceeds to run.

This contradicts the claim that the cooperative re-checks in _drain_queue keep cancellation consistent.

SUGGESTION: Docstring says "Returns the number of queued entries cancelled," but if a victim was promoted to _running during the snapshot-to-cancel window, cancel_op falls through to eviction of the running task and still returns True. The return value may therefore include evicted running tasks rather than only cancelled queued entries.

Adjudicated at head 861ad5782: both Kilo findings are REAL. Not merge-blocking, but the docstring must be corrected before merge.

I traced the race rather than taking the bot's word for it, and it exists.

The window is real

_drain_queue removes the entry from _queued_entries at :784, but _running is populated inside the spawned coroutine at :537. asyncio.create_task at :763 schedules _run_gpu_task; it does not run it synchronously. Between those two points the task is in neither map, so cancel_op takes neither branch:

  • self._queued_entries.pop(task_id, None) returns None (already popped at :784)
  • task_id in self._running is False (not yet registered)
  • cancel_op returns False

cancel_queued_for_resource therefore does not count it and does not cancel it. The window widens further because _run_gpu_task awaits claim_lease at :515 before registering in _running.

Why it is not a blocker

The consequence is bounded. A task that slips the window reaches claim_lease at :515 for the fenced resource, gets None, and raises NoResourceAvailableError at :520 — it never executes its payload against a fenced worker. So the failure mode is the delayed error this PR set out to replace, not an unsafe execution. The PR still improves the common case.

What must change

The docstring at :880-884 asserts a guarantee the code does not provide:

Reuses cancel_op's race-safe _cancelled_ids path ... If a victim was promoted to _running during the await window, cancel_op falls through to eviction of the running task.

"Falls through to eviction" is true only after _running registration completes. During the create_task-to-registration window it falls through to return False. A comment that claims a race is handled, on a path where it is not, is worse than no comment — it is the thing that stops the next reader from checking. Same class I blocked #2195 on.

Kilo's SUGGESTION at :886 is correct for the same reason: once a victim has fully promoted, cancel_op evicts a running task and returns True, which the loop counts, so "Returns the number of queued entries cancelled" undercounts nothing but does miscount what kind of thing it cancelled.

Required before merge, minimal:

  1. State the actual guarantee: cancellation is caught at dequeue, post-admit, and post-re-queue, and a task already promoted to _running is evicted; a task in the brief window between promotion and _running registration is not cancelled here and instead fails its lease claim at :515. Say that plainly instead of claiming race-safety.
  2. Correct the return-value line to say it counts victims cancelled, queued or evicted-while-promoting.

Optional, and I am not asking for it in this PR: the window itself closes if _running registration moves ahead of the claim_lease await, or if _drain_queue records the promotion before spawning. Both touch the admission path, which is worth its own card and its own red test rather than a drive-by here.

Merge state

bot-review-gate is legitimately red: CodeRabbit's only output on this PR is a rate-limit stub, so it has never reviewed it. A head-aware retrigger is queued behind the current chain. Once a real review lands and the docstring is corrected, this is good to merge.

VERDICT: Potential race condition in cancel_queued_for_resource may miss newly enqueued tasks or cancel already-dequeued tasks, leading to incomplete cancellation.

### Added
- `GpuArbiter.queue_snapshot()` now includes `resource_id` per entry, and a new `cancel_queued_for_resource(resource_id)` cancels every queued GPU op targeting a fenced resource through the same race-safe `_cancelled_ids` path as `cancel_op`. Fence handlers can now proactively cancel queued ops instead of waiting for `claim_lease` to reject them on admission (#tsk-5aiafr).

Correct the cancellation guarantee.

The phrase “race-safe _cancelled_ids path” is false during task promotion. In the promotion-to-registration window, cancel_op finds the task in neither _queued_entries nor _running and returns False. State that this path cancels queue-visible entries and that a task in this window can instead fail lease acquisition.

LEAD REVIEW — APPROVED. The no-callers question that blocked #2483 doesn't apply here: the card scopes this as the arbiter primitive consumed by tsk-krklez (fence-handler wiring), so landing it caller-less is the intended sequencing. Tests are genuinely red-capable (bulk+selective cancel asserts future cancellation AND queue removal; snapshot asserts the new field), the implementation reuses cancel_op's race-safe _cancelled_ids path rather than inventing a second cancellation mechanism, and the promoted-during-await window is handled by the documented fall-through to eviction. CodeRabbit is real-green on this head after the re-trigger (the earlier 'pass' was a rate-limit stub). Merging.
