👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

🚀

Summary of Changes

Hello @842974287, 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 resolves an ImportError that was preventing the application from running correctly on ROCm due to missing FlashAttention utilities. By conditionally setting references to these utilities to None when they are not importable, the system can now gracefully handle environments where these specific functions are absent, ensuring broader compatibility.

Highlights

  • Error Handling & ROCm Compatibility: Introduced an else block to explicitly set FlashAttention-related function references (reshape_and_cache_flash, flash_attn_varlen_func, get_scheduler_metadata) to None. This change addresses an ImportError that occurs when these functions cannot be imported, particularly in environments like ROCm where they might not be available.

Code Review

This pull request fixes an ImportError on ROCm by ensuring that flash attention-related symbols are defined for all platforms. I have one minor suggestion to improve code style consistency.

This line contains trailing whitespace and adds an extra blank line. This results in three blank lines before the next function definition, whereas PEP 8 style guidelines recommend two. Please remove this line to improve code cleanliness and maintain consistency with the project's coding style.
