Load distributed object payloads with weights_only - #2837

Conversation
Drop weights_only=False from the broadcast/allgather helpers and the Megatron expert-parallel export gather so a malicious peer cannot run code via pickle. Register Hparam/TracedHp as safe globals and make Hparam pickle without a bound-method importance estimator.

Explanation
No prohibited security pattern was introduced in the changed modelopt or examples Python code. The two new torch.load calls explicitly use weights_only=True; no added allow_pickle=True, trust_remote_code=True, external-input eval/exec, or # nosec was found. The pull request does not change pyproject.toml or requirements files, so it adds no dependency requiring review.

Bot review (gpt-6.1-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Changes requested: the Megatron gather still unpickles peer input before the restricted loader, and environment overrides can disable both new loading protections.
Needs action:
- Replace
gather_objectin_grouped_mlp_slicingwith a root-only tensor/byte collective and add a malicious-peer regression; see inline comment. - Set
weights_only=Trueexplicitly at both changed load sites and test gadget rejection withTORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1. - Explain the serialization choice in the PR body versus existing
utils/serialization.py::safe_loadand plain-data JSON/safetensors, including the distinction between trusted-checkpoint overrides and untrusted peer payloads.
No action needed:
- Existing test assertions remain intact; additions cover ordinary collective payloads and direct gadget rejection.
- Tests were inspected, not executed.

Bot review (gpt-6.1-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Changes requested: the unsafe gather and environment override are fixed, but the previously requested malicious-peer regression for EP export remains missing.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied: raw-byte gathering has a two-GPU test — still add a malicious-peer regression through
_grouped_mlp_slicingor a shared production gather-and-load helper, including the environment override; see inline comment.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: unrestricted outer gathering, implicit
weights_only, serialization design rationale, and compatibility documentation. - The PR body reasonably distinguishes peer loading from
safe_loadcheckpoint overrides and explains rejecting JSON/safetensors for heterogeneous payloads. - Existing test assertions remain intact; tests were inspected, not executed.

Bot review (gpt-6.1-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.
LGTM: prior security concerns are resolved; human sign-off remains for the justified edits to existing test files.
Needs action:
- Confirm the test-file edits: imports are updated for the new helpers, security regressions are added, and existing assertions remain intact.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: unsafe outer gathering, environment-override bypass, missing EP malicious-peer coverage, serialization rationale, and compatibility documentation.
- The EP export now uses the tested
gather_state_dictshelper. Tests cover non-root gadget rejection without side effects, both environment settings, ordinary state dictionaries, and root-only results. - The design reasonably rejects checkpoint-oriented
safe_load, JSON/safetensors, and pickle-based object collectives for this peer-loading boundary. - Tests were inspected, not executed.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftStream serialized EP payloads from disk-backed storage.
gather_state_dictsdoes not bound host memory as documented.gather_bytesallocates a complete serialized payload for every rank on the destination before iteration starts. The EP loop then retains each decoded dictionary inself._state_dict. Peak memory can therefore include the full decoded expert state and all remaining serialized payloads. Large EP exports can exceed host memory.Store each gathered payload in a temporary file, then load one file at a time. This keeps only one serialized payload in host memory while preserving the existing eager collective.

### What does this PR do?
Type of change: Bug fix
`broadcast`/`allgather` in `modelopt/torch/utils/distributed.py` and the
Megatron expert-parallel (EP) export gather handled peer-supplied
buffers with unrestricted pickle (`torch.load(..., weights_only=False)`
and `torch.distributed.gather_object`), so a compromised rank could
execute code on the others.
- `_deserialize` and the EP export load use `torch.load(...,
weights_only=True)`, passed explicitly so
`TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1` cannot re-enable pickle.
- The EP export gathers raw bytes with a new `gather_bytes` (root-only,
chunked tensor gather) instead of `gather_object`, which unpickles the
outer object before any restricted load.
- `Hparam`/`TracedHp` (broadcast by the Megatron pruning path) are
registered as safe globals, and `Hparam` pickles its default importance
estimator as a marker instead of a bound method (which needs `getattr`).
- Not covered: `DistributedProcessGroup.get_dist_syncd_obj` uses
`all_gather_object`; left for a follow-up.
**Why not `utils/serialization.py::safe_load`, JSON or safetensors?**
`safe_load` deliberately honors `TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD` so
users can trust a local checkpoint; trusting a local file must not also
trust every peer, so peer payloads pin `weights_only=True`. Payloads are
small heterogeneous Python objects (bools, dicts, tensors, hparams),
which JSON/safetensors cannot carry without a larger redesign.
### Usage
No API change. Custom classes sent through `broadcast`/`allgather` must
be registered with `torch.serialization.add_safe_globals`.
### Testing
- `tests/unit/torch/utils/test_distributed.py`: a `__reduce__` gadget is
rejected by `_deserialize`, with and without
`TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1` (fails when the fix is reverted); a
`TracedHp` subclass (`DepthHparam`) round-trips through
`_serialize`/`_deserialize`.
- `tests/gpu/torch/utils/test_distributed.py`, run locally on 2 GPUs (8
passed): real `broadcast`/`allgather` round trip (incl. `TracedHp`);
`gather_bytes` (uneven sizes, empty sender, small chunks);
`gather_state_dicts` (the EP export's gather-and-load) accepts ordinary
state dicts on the root only and rejects a gadget sent from a non-root
rank without running it, with and without the env override.
- The `gather_*` tests need 2 ranks and use `need_2_gpus`, so they skip
on CI's single-GPU `gpu` runner; checked locally with
`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0` (4 passed, 4 skipped).
- `tests/unit/torch/{nas,opt}`: all pass locally except 4 `opt/plugins`
collection errors that also occur without this change (broken package
metadata in the local env).
- CI: `gpu_megatron` (real Megatron EP export and NAS/prune paths, which
the local env cannot import), `gpu_vllm`, `linux` unit and example jobs
passed on 1661191.
### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*"
- Is this change backward compatible?: ❌ objects of unregistered classes
sent via `broadcast`/`allgather` now fail to load; register them with
`add_safe_globals`.
- If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP
dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A
- Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅
- Did you update Changelog?: ✅
- Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Distributed workflows can gather byte payloads and state dictionaries
at a destination rank.
* **Security**
* Distributed data transfers use restricted deserialization to help
prevent unsafe object execution, including when a PyTorch environment
setting would otherwise allow unrestricted loading.
* Expert-parallel exports transfer data without loading pickled objects.
* **Compatibility**
* Distributed broadcasts and allgathers reject unregistered custom
classes. Register classes with PyTorch’s safe-globals mechanism before
using them in these operations.
* Hyperparameters and traced hyperparameters are registered for safe
PyTorch checkpoint loading.
