### What this PR does / why we need it?
- Delete the environment variable
`VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_FLASHCOMM2_OSHARED`
- Introduce layer_sharding as a configurable feature in
additional_config
- Revise the term "shared weight" to "shard weight."
Configuration : The feature is opt-in via the additional_config
argument:
```
--additional-config '{
"layer_sharding": ["o_proj", "q_b_proj"]
}'
```
This is orthogonal to standard tensor parallelism and weight replication
strategies. It is treated as a separate, explicit feature.It can be used
in any scenario, combined with the
flashcomm2https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/3232 feature
or the ShardedCP #4702 feature, to achieve significant performance.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add a control to enable the exponential distribution operator
overlapping with model executing (default is OFF due to this feature
might not perform well on MOE models, i.e. For Qwen3-30B).
Enable async exponential overlapping will provides performance
improvement.
Also, overlapping the exponential operator with module execution can
cover the performance drop introduced by AICPU-version's exponential
operator.
**UPDATE**: (12/12)
Now our overlap will use the same stream that introduced in this pr:
#4908 .
We move the `do_async_exponential` from `model_runner_v1.py` to
`sampler.py`.
Now we are using `additional_config` to enable async exponential:
Add `"enable_async_exponential": 1` in `addition_config`.
Now we **ONLY** support default exponential/AI-CPU exponential, the old
`"enable_async_exponential": 2` option has been aborted to keep
consistency.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
**YES**, added a new `additional_config` : `"enable_async_exponential":
1`.
When `enable_async_exponential` is set to 1, we enable the async
exponential and overlap with model runner.
When `enable_async_exponential` is set to 0 (default is 0), we disable
the async exponential, but exponential will still running on a different
stream using stream introduced in #4908.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
We introduced the npugraph_ex backend through the vllm's adaptor
dispatch mechanism to accelerate aclgraph. This solution is based on
torch.compile and uses torchair to optimize the fx.graph. The
performance gains are mainly obtained from the static kernel. We
conducted tests on Qwen3-30B and achieved over 5% performance
optimization.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, we add a new switch named"enable_npugraph_ex" in additional_config,
default is False.
We also add an example to show how to register custom replacement pass
### More information about this PR
This feature depends on the release of CANN and torch_npu in Q4.
We tested it on a package that has not been publicly released yet and
verified that the functionality works.
This feature is still experimental at the moment; setting the config
true will directly raise error.
Merging into the main branch initially involves some preliminary commits
to facilitate subsequent development and testing of the feature, as well
as to avoid submitting an excessively large PR at once.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
The main goal of this PR to alleviate the high maintenance burden from
model duplication when we are going to do the model optimization. Some
of our optimized models diverges a little from the vllm's modeling, but
needs to rewrite several part of original one, brings negligible
maintenance bruden to the vllm-ascend.In order to solve that, we propose
to leverage `torch.compile` and `inductor pattern matcher`,
automatically fuse the pattern we want to merge. For more details can
refer to the RFC https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/4239
This pr integrates `AddRMSNorm` and the `Quant` operator, which can
improve the inference speed of models using `w8a8 `quantization.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Support shared expert DP for deepseek_mtp feature.
`shared_expert_dp` requires `SP==True`, with corresponding parameter
restrictions.
Previously, due to the coupling between `shared_expert_dp` and torchair,
and the removal of `deepseek_mtp` in vllm_ascend, shared expert dp of
deepseek_mtp was temporarily removed.
Currently, by performing the `reduce_scatter` on the input of
deepssek_mtp in `mtp_proposer.py`, we ensure that it matches the
dimensions of `input_embedding`, and then perform the `all_gather` on
the output of mtp.

Supports generalized FlashComm2 optimization, which reduces
communication overhead, decreases RmsNorm computation, and saves one
AllGather step by replacing Allreduce operations in the Attention module
with pre-AlltoAll and post-AllGather operations (used in combination
with FlashComm1). This feature is enabled during the Prefill phase and
is recommended to be used together with FlashComm1, delivering broad
performance improvements, especially in long sequence scenarios with
large tensor parallelism (TP) configurations. Benchmark tests show that
under TP16DP1 configuration, it can improve the prefill performance of
the DeepSeek model by 8% on top of FlashComm1.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR is aimed to fix the recomputing out of memory bug in decode
instance. When recomputing happens in decode, kv cache usage may exceed
the pre-allocated memory, and it will cause OOM.
So we propose a new scheduling strategy, when decode instance cannot
allocate new block for running requests, we will stop the request that
will be preempted. These stopped request will be recognied by proxy, and
they will be send to prefill instance again to calculate kvc and then
direct to decode instance.
This is a temporary plan to fix the bug. The long-term stratege is to
use CPU offload in decode instance.

### Motivation
Currently dynamically experts balancing would stop-the-world.
Asynchronously expert load balancing would be better without flowing
problems:
Host-bound latency:
There are many cpu operations during EPLB such as
eplb-algorithm、creating p2p ops、and log2phy expert converting would
spend long cpu time, as ~1s.
Communication latency: The transfer time would cost much in the
situation without nvlink. As the weight of an expert maybe transfer to
multiple new positions, thus N times send/recv for one expert, with
result long latency. We had tested that batch_isend_irecv cost more
100ms for 16 experts weight transmission in A2 server of ascend.
SwiftBalancer would not stop-the-world anymore, in out test on NPU 1~2ms
cost for each layer while benefit 5ms-8ms decode latency with ep_size =
64.
The following updates have been made:
1、expert distribution recording with lower cost.
2、async cpu computing for eplb algo and other python operator.
3、new eplb algo with less expert rebalancing while almost the same
effect.
### Proposed Change
We will gradually migrate the EPLB logic to the VLLM community and
implement a generalized design. Relevant RFC:
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/22246
The overall workflow involves:

/>
1. Record experts distribution during forward. We using expert_token_num
after disptach instead of topk_ids, thus we got much smaller tensor
shape to reduce cost of hbm recording and add-operator.
2. Do all-gather for experts distribution. Using all-gather instead of
all-reduce as less traffic volume.
3. Wake up eplb worker process with experts distribution when
num_iterations comes. Run eplb algorithm in eplb worker.
4. Generate p2p send/recv ops and other operator such as log2phy would
cost long cpu time.
5. Lanch ibatch_send_recv in async_stream before forward.
6. After forward, wait for the ibatch_send_recv finish, then do uapte
expert map and expert weights.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR introduces Oproj matrix tensor model parallel to achieve
decreasing of memory consumption. It only support graph mode in pure DP
scenario.
In deepseek r1 w8a8 PD disagregated Decode instance, using pure DP, with
oproj_tensor_parallel_size = 8, we have 1 ms TPOT increasing, saved 5.8
GB NPU memory per RANK. We got best performance when
oproj_tensor_parallel_size=4 without TPOT increasing.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR ports #2312#2506#2531 to main branch.
Original implementation of torchair caching forces users to make
everything prepared, fix all the configuration and enable
`use_cached_npu_graph`, and it might cause some problems confusing to
understand and tackle for users. It is better to compile the graph twice
instead of reusing the old kvcaches and cached torchair graph. And the
extra duration time is acceptable. Additionally, this pr fixes a
recompilation problem of torchair graph mode caused by
`running_in_graph` variable in `AscendMLATorchairImpl`.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
If users want to enabling torchair.cache_compile with high compilation
speed, it is recommended to enable both `use_cached_kv_cache_bytes` and
`use_cached_graph` in `torchair_graph_config`. Without
`use_cached_kv_cache_bytes`, we'll compile torchair computation graph
twice to avoid runtime error caused by configuration mismtaches (the
second compilation will be much faster). Additionally, we've made a
change to how the TORCHAIR_CACHE_HOME enviroment variable is utilized to
enhance safety and prevent accidental file deletion by adding a suffix
directory.
