Description

Two defects in IterationWriter.run's except KeyboardInterrupt handler:

1. It reads message, which is unbound when the interrupt lands before the first socket.recv_json() — the common case, since the writer blocks there — raising UnboundLocalError.
2. It drains with while message != b"None", comparing the decoded JSON object against bytes. The sender (LlmManager.iteration_worker) never emits b"None"; it sends {"end": True}, so the loop could never terminate via its sentinel.

Initialize message, guard the socket, and drain until the actual "end" sentinel.

Test Plan

• Ctrl-C during trtllm-bench throughput --iteration_log ... no longer raises UnboundLocalError in the writer process and exits once the end sentinel arrives.

Dev Engineer Review

• IterationWriter.run initializes message to None, so the interrupt handler can safely check it if KeyboardInterrupt occurs before the first receive.
• The handler drains messages only after the socket binds. It continues until it receives a message containing the "end" key.
• The change removes the incorrect comparison with b"None". No public declarations or configuration files changed.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

• tensorrt_llm/bench/benchmark/utils/processes.py: Verify that an interrupt before the first receive does not raise UnboundLocalError, and that the writer drains through the {"end": true} sentinel after binding. Also verify that an interrupt during bind exits without waiting for a message.

Walkthrough

IterationWriter.run now tracks whether the ZeroMQ socket has bound successfully. On KeyboardInterrupt, it waits for a message containing the "end" key only if binding succeeded.

Changes

IterationWriter shutdown handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Interrupt-safe receive handling tensorrt_llm/bench/benchmark/utils/processes.py	Initializes the message state and records successful socket binding. On KeyboardInterrupt, it waits for a message containing the "end" key only when the socket has bound.

pyzmq Socket.recv blocking default unbound socket bind documentation RCVTIMEO

💡 Result:

In PyZMQ, the Socket.recv method's blocking behavior is determined by its flags and the socket's configuration [1][2]. By default, recv blocks indefinitely until a message is available [1][3]. If the zmq.NOBLOCK flag is provided to recv, the method will return immediately; if no message is available, it raises a ZMQError (specifically with EAGAIN) [1][4]. For more granular control, the RCVTIMEO (Receive Timeout) option can be configured on a socket [5][3]. This option sets the maximum time (in milliseconds) the socket will wait for a message before returning a ZMQError (with EAGAIN) [3]. The default value for RCVTIMEO is -1, which signifies an infinite wait [3]. Regarding unbound sockets, a ZeroMQ socket does not need to be bound or connected to have its options (like RCVTIMEO) set or to be in a state where recv could technically be called [6][3]. However, calling recv on an unbound, unconnected socket will result in blocking (or timeout) behavior because the socket will never receive a message from a peer [1][3]. While bind attaches a socket to a specific address to listen for incoming connections, the underlying socket operations (like recv) rely on the ZeroMQ state machine rather than strictly requiring a successful bind to execute [6].

Guard the drain on a successfully bound socket.

If KeyboardInterrupt occurs during socket.bind(address), socket is non-None while the bind did not complete. The handler can then call blocking socket.recv_json() and prevent the child process from exiting. Set socket_bound = True only after socket.bind(address) returns, and check it before draining.

Done in fba0622 (rebased onto today's main): socket_bound is set only after socket.bind(address) returns and the KeyboardInterrupt drain loop is gated on it, so an interrupt during bind no longer blocks in recv_json().

Add regression coverage for both interrupt paths.

IterationWriter.run must drain through {"end": True} after an interrupt during recv_json(), and must skip draining when bind() is interrupted. The PR adds no test for either path. Add bounded tests under tests/** that interrupt the first receive, then return a statistics message and the end sentinel, and that interrupt bind() while asserting recv_json() is not called.
