Description

Constructing a weird CachedOp directly in C++, in rare cases might lead to rebuilding full_graph in CachedOp without updating bwd_ograd_dep_. This potentially causes crash when OpReqType of one of outputs of grad_graph_ is OpReqType::kNullOp. This PR enhances the capability of CachedOp to handle this case.

Checklist

Essentials

Please feel free to remove inapplicable items for your PR.

  • Changes are complete (i.e. I finished coding on this PR)
  • All changes have test coverage:
  • Unit tests are added for small changes to verify correctness (e.g. adding a new operator)
  • Nightly tests are added for complicated/long-running ones (e.g. changing distributed kvstore)
  • Build tests will be added for build configuration changes (e.g. adding a new build option with NCCL)
  • Code is well-documented:
  • For user-facing API changes, API doc string has been updated.
  • For new C++ functions in header files, their functionalities and arguments are documented.
  • For new examples, README.md is added to explain the what the example does, the source of the dataset, expected performance on test set and reference to the original paper if applicable
  • Check the API doc at http://mxnet-ci-doc.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/PR-$PR_ID/$BUILD_ID/index.html
  • To the my best knowledge, examples are either not affected by this change, or have been fixed to be compatible with this change

LGTM. One nit would be to give a name for the placeholder value to improve readability.

@junrushao1994 Please write a unit test that fails without this fix.
