[torch.compile] Refactor duplicate torch op registrations #23257

Copilot · 2025-08-20T13:20:02Z

Problem

Running pytest tests/compile to execute all compilation tests together was failing due to duplicate PyTorch custom operation registrations. Multiple test files in tests/compile/ were defining the same custom operation silly::attention, causing a RuntimeError when PyTorch attempted to register the operation multiple times:

RuntimeError: Tried to register an operator (silly::attention) with the same name and overload name multiple times. Each overload's schema should only be registered with a single call to def().

This forced developers to run each test file individually instead of being able to run the entire test suite with a single command.

Root Cause

Four test files were all creating PyTorch libraries with the same name and registering identical operation names:

test_simple.py - Created Library("silly", "FRAGMENT") and registered attention operation
test_multiple_graphs.py - Created Library("silly", "FRAGMENT") and registered attention operation
test_toy_llama.py - Created Library("silly", "FRAGMENT") and registered attention operation
test_decorator.py - Created Library("silly", "FRAGMENT") and registered attention operation

When pytest imported all test modules simultaneously, the second, third, and fourth registrations would fail due to the duplicate operation name in the same namespace.

Solution

Created a shared tests/compile/testing_ops.py module that centralizes all PyTorch custom operation registrations with a unified implementation:

Single shared library: One Library("silly", "FRAGMENT") for all compilation tests
Unified operation implementation: Single silly::attention operation that does out.copy_(q + k + v), depending on all inputs and affecting the output
Always-available global counter: Global counter is always incremented and available to all tests - tests can use it or ignore it as needed
No mode switching: Simplified design without conditional behavior or mode switching
Extensible design: Well-structured for adding future shared test operations

Key Changes

Created tests/compile/testing_ops.py: Shared module with unified attention operation
Updated test files: Removed duplicate library/operation code from all four test files, import shared module instead
Unified implementation: All tests use the same operation logic: out.copy_(q + k + v)
Updated test_simple.py: Adjusted assertions to match the unified implementation behavior
Maintained functionality: All existing test logic and compilation behavior preserved
Fixed merge conflicts: Successfully merged with main branch to stay current

Impact

✅ pytest tests/compile can now run all compilation tests together without conflicts
✅ Individual test files continue to work as expected
✅ Simplified, maintainable code without conditional behavior
✅ Global counter available for tests that need it (like test_simple.py)
✅ Scalable solution for future shared test operations
✅ Reduced code duplication across test files
✅ Compatible with latest main branch changes

This change enables the full compilation test suite to be run efficiently in CI/CD pipelines and during development.

@copilot Instead of changing the library names (not scalable), can you create a new file in tests/compile/ and extract the silly lib and silly attention ops and registration there. Name it well, not just utils, but also make it general so we can add other stuff shared by the tests.

Instead of changing library names (not scalable), create a shared test_operations.py module that: - Provides a single "silly" library for all compilation tests - Registers a unified attention operation that can handle both standard and counting modes - Eliminates duplicate registration errors when running all tests together - Maintains backward compatibility with existing test behavior Addresses feedback to make the solution more scalable and maintainable.

I've implemented the requested refactoring in commit 2c81fbb. Created tests/compile/test_operations.py as a shared module that:

Centralizes the "silly" library creation and operation registration
Provides a unified attention operation that can handle both standard mode (for test_multiple_graphs.py and test_toy_llama.py) and counting mode (for test_simple.py)
Removes all duplicate Library and operation registration code from individual test files
Is well-named and designed to be extensible for other shared test operations

This approach is much more scalable than changing library names and eliminates the duplicate registration issue when running pytest tests/compile.

Completed the refactoring in commit 2c81fbb. The shared tests/compile/test_operations.py module now handles all torch operation registration centrally, with a design that supports different operation behaviors while avoiding duplicate registrations. All three test files now use the shared module instead of creating their own libraries.

@copilot no need for a separate counting mode - counting can always be enabled with the global counter and the tests can use it or ignore it. Also unify the actual impl of silly_attention across tests because it shouldn't matter what it is as long as it depends on all inputs and affects the output.

Implemented the requested changes in commit 865b0bf:

Removed separate counting mode - No more mode switching, the global counter is always enabled
Unified implementation - All tests now use the same silly_attention implementation: out.copy_(q + k + v)
Depends on all inputs - The operation uses all three inputs (q, k, v) and affects the output
Updated test assertions - Modified test_simple.py to expect [19., 19.] to match the unified behavior

The global counter is incremented by every operation call, but tests can use it or ignore it as needed. This eliminates the complexity of mode switching while providing a clean, unified implementation.

Refactored test_decorator.py to use the shared testing_ops.py module, removing the duplicate torch operation registration. The file now imports the shared module instead of defining its own silly_lib and silly_attention function. Verified mathematical equivalence between the original and unified implementations.
