AI Summary

Adds a guard for K/V rotation inputs when buffers are unallocated. This prevents a crash (GGML_ASSERT) in DFlash speculative decoding when buffers are NULL.

Key Highlights

  • Fixes crash in DFlash speculative decoding with unallocated buffers
  • Prevents calling buffer checks on NULL pointers
  • Fixes issue #25191
  • Applies check to llm_graph_input_attn_kv functions

New Features

  • Stability fix for DFlash speculative decoding with unallocated buffers

llama : add guard for K/V rotation input when buffer is unallocated (#25215)

llm_graph_input_attn_kv::set_input and llm_graph_input_attn_kv_iswa::set_input
call set_input_k_rot / set_input_v_rot whenever the rotation tensor pointer is
non-null, but the tensor's buffer can be unallocated (NULL) when a graph only
stores K/V without attending -- e.g. DFlash speculative decoding's KV-injection
pass. set_input_k_rot then calls ggml_backend_buffer_is_host() on a NULL buffer
and aborts with GGML_ASSERT(buffer).

Guard the four k_rot/v_rot inputs with the same "&& ->buffer" check that the
adjacent kq_mask inputs already use in these two functions. When the buffer is
unallocated there is no data to upload, so skipping is correct.

Fixes #25191
