Summary of ChangesHello @tongke6, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request addresses critical TODOs related to security and correctness within the system. It introduces a robust verification step for conditional branches to prevent data divergence in distributed computations and corrects the handling of secret-shared values fetched from SPU devices by implementing proper reconstruction. These changes enhance the reliability and security of the underlying multi-party computation framework. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request implements two missing TODOs: adding AllReduce verification for uniform_cond and implementing SPU reconstruction for fetch. The changes are generally good, but I've identified a critical bug related to unreachable code, a performance concern in the verification logic, and a high-severity issue regarding the removal of a test case without explanation. Please see the detailed comments for suggestions.

This block of code for handling SPU reconstruction appears to be unreachable. It is placed inside the if dev_info.kind.upper() in ("PPU", "TEE"): block, but after a return statement on line 781. This logic should likely be in an elif dev_info.kind.upper() == "SPU": block at the same indentation level as the if statement on line 777.
elif dev_info.kind.upper() == "SPU":
# 3.2 SPU: fetch from all ranks and reconstruct
shares = [_fetch_from_rank(m.rank) for m in dev_info.members]
from mplang.v2.backends.spu_impl import SPUShareValue
spu_shares = [SPUShareValue.from_libspu(share) for share in shares]
spu_state = simp_state.get_dialect_state("spu")
if spu_state is None:
raise RuntimeError("SPU state not found in dialect state")
reconstructed = spu.reconstruct(tuple(spu_shares))
return _unwrap_value(reconstructed)
tests/v2/backends/test_verify_clean.py (91-123)
The test test_uniform_cond_clean has been removed. While the PR description mentions adding tests, removing an existing, valid-looking test without a clear explanation is concerning as it could lead to future regressions. Could you please either restore this test or clarify why it was removed and point to the new test that covers this functionality?
mplang/v2/backends/simp_worker/ops.py (129-163)
The current implementation of _verify_uniform_predicate uses a manual all-gather pattern with point-to-point send/recv, which results in O(N^2) messages for N parties. This can be inefficient for a larger number of parties. Consider using a more efficient collective operation if the communicator supports it. For example, an AllReduce on the predicate value (as an integer) with a SUM operation would be much more scalable. If the sum of predicates is either 0 or world_size, the predicate is uniform.

Code Review
This pull request implements two important features: AllReduce verification for uniform_cond and SPU reconstruction for fetch. While these are valuable additions, I've identified a few critical issues. The AllReduce implementation in _verify_uniform_predicate is susceptible to deadlocks. The SPU reconstruction logic in fetch is currently unreachable due to an incorrect code structure. Additionally, a test for uniform_cond has been removed, which is concerning given the new verification logic. I have provided detailed feedback and suggestions to address these points.

The current implementation of AllGather, with separate loops for sending to all peers and then receiving from all peers, is prone to deadlocks if the comm.send operation is blocking. Each party could be waiting for a recv that will never happen because all other parties are also stuck in the send call.
To ensure correctness and avoid deadlocks, I suggest a more robust AllGather pattern, such as a sequential broadcast from each rank. This pattern is deadlock-free. If your communication library supports a native allgather primitive, that would be the ideal solution.
gathered_values = [None] * world_size
# A simple, deadlock-free AllGather implementation using a series of broadcasts.
for i in range(world_size):
value_at_rank_i = None
if comm.rank == i:
# Rank `i` broadcasts its value.
value_at_rank_i = pred_bool
for dst in range(world_size):
if dst != i:
comm.send(dst, f"uniform_cond_pred_bcast_from_{i}_{op.name}", value_at_rank_i)
else:
# Other ranks receive from rank `i`.
value_at_rank_i = comm.recv(i, f"uniform_cond_pred_bcast_from_{i}_{op.name}")
gathered_values[i] = value_at_rank_i

The logic for SPU reconstruction is currently unreachable. It has been placed inside the if dev_info.kind.upper() in ("PPU", "TEE"): block, but after the return statement. The elif dev_info.kind.upper() == "SPU": statement was removed, causing this bug. To fix this, the elif should be restored so that SPU devices are handled correctly.
elif dev_info.kind.upper() == "SPU":
# 3.2 SPU: fetch from all ranks and reconstruct
shares = [_fetch_from_rank(m.rank) for m in dev_info.members]
from mplang.v2.backends.spu_impl import SPUShareValue
spu_shares = [SPUShareValue.from_libspu(share) for share in shares]
spu_state = simp_state.get_dialect_state("spu")
if spu_state is None:
raise RuntimeError("SPU state not found in dialect state")
reconstructed = spu.reconstruct(tuple(spu_shares))
return _unwrap_value(reconstructed)
tests/v2/backends/test_verify_clean.py (91-123)
The test test_uniform_cond_clean has been removed. The pull request description states that tests were added to "verify uniformity check", but removing this test seems to reduce coverage for uniform_cond. Could you please clarify why this test was removed and point to the new tests that cover this functionality? If this test is no longer valid, it should be replaced with one that correctly tests the new verification logic.

Pull request overview
This PR implements missing TODO items for uniform conditional verification and SPU value reconstruction. It adds AllReduce-based predicate verification to prevent data divergence attacks in uniform_cond operations, and implements proper SPU share reconstruction using the spu.reconstruct primitive instead of returning only the first share.
Key changes:
- Implements
_verify_uniform_predicatefunction that uses AllGather pattern to verify all parties agree on conditional predicates - Replaces placeholder SPU fetch logic with proper share reconstruction using
spu.reconstruct - Removes
test_uniform_cond_cleantest from test_verify_clean.py

This code is unreachable because it comes after a return statement on line 781. The SPU reconstruction logic (lines 783-796) will never execute. This should be moved outside the PPU/TEE if-block or restructured using elif to handle the SPU case separately.
