Background

vLLM-Omni offloader currently exposes 10 independent CLI flags with no unified parser, no JSON input, and no shortcut for common cases. Tracked by RFC #7204 — Simplify Diffusion Offloader Configuration + Canonical CLI.

Problem

  • Users must memorize boolean priority (DLO > layerwise > module).
  • No JSON API — every deployment re-discovers 10 flags.
  • pin_cpu_memory / pin_memory naming split across two entry points.
  • OffloadConfig.from_od_config hardcodes strategy mapping in one ~100-line method.

Solution

Canonical parser that consumes both new RFC #7204 inputs and all legacy boolean flags:

New CLI inputs

Input Expansion
--diffusion-offload {none,module,layer} Shortcut → full JSON schema (per RFC §3 table)
--diffusion-offload-config <JSON> Full schema: mode, components.{dit,text_encoder}.{weight_transfer,resident_layers}, pin_memory
--host-weight-runtime-config <JSON> mode / root / registration_limit_gib

New module

vllm_omni/diffusion/offloader/config_parser.py (538 lines):

  • CanonicalOffloadPolicy dataclass — single source of truth
  • parse_offload_policy() — unified entry point (shortcut > JSON config > legacy booleans)
  • parse_hwr_policy() + validate_joint() — cross-validation
  • Full schema validation

Modified

OffloadConfig.from_od_config refactored into canonical path + legacy path. Three backend classes unchanged.

Backward compatibility: all 10 legacy CLI flags continue to work unchanged.

Testing

45+ unit tests covering shortcut expansion, JSON config parsing, legacy boolean mapping, every RFC §3/§4 validation rejection case, HWR joint validation, policy roundtrip.

  • HWR runtime integration wiring (§5)
  • Legacy alias deprecation (gated on HWR completion)

Closes part of #7204.

Implements the core configuration unification from RFC #7204:
- New --diffusion-offload {none,module,layer} CLI shortcut
- New --diffusion-offload-config JSON with expanded schema (mode, components, pin_memory)
- New --host-weight-runtime-config JSON (mode, root, registration_limit_gib)
- CanonicalOffloadPolicy dataclass with single-source validation
- Backward-compatible: all 10 legacy CLI flags continue to work unchanged
- 45+ unit tests covering every RFC acceptance criterion

Omni ReviewBot: superseded

The CI failure noted on 345940f53342 refers to an earlier head; the pull request now points at 30ee4f0bf0a2.

PR introduced a duplicate registration of --diffusion-offload-config in
serve.py (lines ~920 and ~1023). Argparse rejects conflicting option
strings, causing mkdocs build to fail at generate_argparse.py startup.

Remove the first (legacy) registration and keep the canonical RFC #7204
version added by this PR.

I reproduced this through the production config-to-backend path, not only the standalone parser. _DiffusionConfigProjection.from_kwargs followed by OffloadConfig.from_od_config resolves the old layerwise flag and old list-shaped config to LAYER_WISE, but diffusion_offload_shortcut='layer' still resolves to NONE. The new component-map schema raises TypeError in the old validator. Please wire the canonical parser and its resolved policy into that path while preserving the legacy inputs. This is a CPU config integration check; no model or device execution was required to reproduce the missing wiring.

These new inputs do not reach backend selection: _DiffusionConfigProjection.from_kwargs still calls the old list-shaped parser, and OffloadConfig.from_od_config still calls resolve_offload, which does not read diffusion_offload_shortcut. In a direct production-path check the new shortcut resolves to NONE, and the new component-map schema is rejected, while both legacy controls select LAYER_WISE. Please connect the canonical parser to this path and preserve the old input behavior.
