GridEvenShare test validates: grid_size = min(max_grid, ceil_div(N, tile_size))
If SMEM is reported as 32KB instead of 48KB, tile_size is 33% smaller,
grid_size is 50% larger, and every kernel launch wastes occupancy.
Base image _custom_ops.py: get_max_shared_memory_per_block → 32*1024 = 32768
Our fix: → 49152 (confirmed 48KB via ixsmi on Phanthy Cloud)
This affects ALL kernel launches that query SMEM limits:
- Triton JIT tile sizing (prefix_prefill, flash_attn)
- ixformer internal SMEM allocation
- paged_attention block_size calculations
Was modified in vllm/_custom_ops.py but NEVER added to qwen3_6_scripts/
for Docker deployment. Now deployed.
