server: save only restorable slot states to the prompt cache ( #30498 )
server: save only restorable slot states to the prompt cache
The idle-slot save loop stores every idle slot whenever a task starts,
while only completion tasks restore from the prompt cache. Rerank,
embedding, decision and infill states fill the cache up to its limit
without ever being read back, and slots already cached are offered
again at every task start.
Each slot now tracks with cache_pending whether its state is restorable
and missing from the cache: a completion release or an explicit slot
restore sets it, prompt_save consumes it, prompt_clear resets it. Both
save paths share this rule, and the LRU path restores only for
completion tasks.
server: test that decision slots skip the prompt cache
Decision tasks never mark their slot as cacheable, so starting new
tasks must not save their idle slots to the RAM prompt cache, with or
without a unified KV cache.
server: restore any reusing task from the prompt cache
Embedding and rerank tasks never reuse their state, so their slots are
cleared on release like child slots and the cache only holds states
that a later task can restore. Infill and decision tasks now restore
from the cache too, which replaces the cache_pending flag.
Decision models disable the prompt cache unless --cache-ram is given,
since their states seldom repeat.
