Fix curand stream ordering in MST alteration - #3125
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe MST solver now assigns its CURAND generator to the solver’s CUDA stream before seeding and generating random values. ChangesMST solver stream handling
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change assigns random-number generation to the MST stream, but a failure from that assignment is not checked, which could allow unsynchronized writes and reads and potentially recreate the reported runtime error. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to handle the return status. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

NVIDIA cuRAND curandSetStream documentation return status generator default stream behavior
💡 Result:
The function curandSetStream is used to associate a specific CUDA stream with a cuRAND generator for subsequent kernel launches [1][2]. Return Status The curandSetStream function returns a curandStatus_t value [1][3]. The possible return values are: - CURAND_STATUS_SUCCESS: Indicates the stream was set successfully [1][4]. - CURAND_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED: Indicates that the generator was not properly created before calling this function [1][2]. Default Stream Behavior When a cuRAND generator is first created, it does not have a user-specified stream assigned to it. If curandSetStream is not called, or if no stream has been explicitly configured for the generator, all cuRAND kernel launches will execute on the default CUDA stream (also referred to as the null stream) [2]. Additionally, users can explicitly specify the null stream by passing NULL as the stream argument to curandSetStream [1][2]. The behavior of the default stream itself (e.g., whether it operates in legacy mode or per-thread mode) is determined by global CUDA configuration settings, such as compiler flags or preprocessor definitions (e.g., --default-stream or CUDA_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM) [5]. Once a stream is set using curandSetStream, all library functions will utilize that stream for kernel launches until it is changed again [1][2].

Check the curandSetStream status.
Line 228 ignores the curandStatus_t returned by curandSetStream. If it fails, curand_generate_uniformX can use the generator’s default stream instead of stream, so its writes may not be ordered with alteration_kernel.
Check the status with the repository’s RAFT error-handling convention before seeding and generating values.

Assign the cuRAND generator used by
MST_solver::alteration()to the MST CUDA stream.Problem
MST_solver::alteration()allocatesrand_valueson the supplied stream and launches the alteration kernel on that stream, but the cuRAND generator is left on its default stream.This permits the following ordering:
rand_valueson stream 0.rand_valueson the MST stream.Under concurrent HDBSCAN workloads using managed memory on GB300, this can eventually surface as an illegal address in a later operation. The downstream error observed by cuML was:
