What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Add save_onnx_model, a shared save helper for the upcoming DLA pipeline. It supports inline weights or a configurable external sidecar while retaining the model's IR version. A single binary writer avoids ONNX 1.21's Windows trailing-0x1A truncation issue; a TODO removes this workaround when ONNX >= 1.22.0 is required.

Inline saves embed loaded payloads even when tensors retain EXTERNAL metadata. ONNX performs the inline conversion, and a shared metadata-only journal restores the caller in finally, including on write failures. Tensor payloads are not copied into a second model. Inline serialization is staged in the destination directory before os.replace, so partial writes and replacement failures preserve an existing model file.

Validate loaded tensor payloads and sidecar destinations before mutation. External data must remain inside the output directory, stay distinct from the model, and satisfy ONNX's file-link restrictions. Stage the files and preserve the previous sidecar until model replacement succeeds; replacement failures restore the sidecar and the caller's tensor bytes and storage metadata. Short restoration reads raise an explicit error. Successful external saves retain the documented storage-metadata mutation. Caller payloads remain intact until the binary sidecar writer closes successfully; a failed buffered write or close restores metadata without trying to recover bytes from an incomplete sidecar.

Use separate model and payload staging roots so filename aliases cannot overwrite staged weights. Check filesystem identity after installing the sidecar and roll back an alias before writing the model. Reject NTFS alternate data streams before filesystem changes.

Repeated saves also work when the output directory is the working directory. Conversion uses a temporary location; the final sidecar name is assigned while writing the staged payloads. Existing converters and public surgeries retain their implementations.

Usage

import onnx
from modelopt.onnx.graph_surgery.utils.graph_utils import save_onnx_model

model = onnx.load("input.onnx", load_external_data=True)
save_onnx_model(model, "output.onnx", external_data_name="output.weights")

Testing

  • Windows CPU, Python 3.10, ONNX 1.21.0: 85 helper tests and 11 existing public-surgery numerical tests passed.
  • Exact FP16/FP32/INT8 round trips, repeated saves without sidecar growth, path/link validation, caller/file rollback and retry, truncated restoration payloads, and unloaded external-tensor refusal.
  • The three repeated-save dtype cases fail before the staging-location fix and pass afterward, including a nested sidecar path.
  • Eight Windows alias cases cover case-only spellings, trailing dots/spaces, and alternate data streams with and without an existing output. Four cases fail before the alias fix; all pass afterward with exact caller/file preservation.
  • Six inline-save cases cover initializers, Constant attributes, and nested If graphs, including real filesystem write failures. All six fail before the inline fix; afterward they verify self-contained files, exact caller serialization, and unchanged sidecars.
  • Four additional inline-save cases cover partial serialization writes and failed final replacements, with and without loaded external metadata. All four fail before staging; afterward they preserve the existing model, caller state and sidecars, clean up staging, and permit a successful retry.
  • Four buffered-I/O cases inject a partial write through a real io.BufferedWriter/FileIO pair during writing or closing, with and without pre-existing external metadata. All four fail before deferred clearing; afterward they verify exact caller and prior-file preservation, cleanup and successful retry.
  • Existing GQA/DQ numerical regressions passed. The combined focused suite on the rebased integration stack passed 339 tests.
  • A synthetic 256 MiB CPU model added 512.12 MiB peak RSS with the metadata journal, versus 768.09 MiB with a full model copy; normalized inline saving added 512.07 MiB. These are single-run observations using 2-ms sampling and native Windows peak working set, not a speedup claim.
  • A separate 256 MiB external-save measurement added 32.10 MiB peak RSS after deferred clearing, versus 32.05 MiB before; elapsed times were 0.1466 s and 0.1487 s. These isolated single-run observations do not establish a speed difference.
  • Pre-commit hooks passed. GPU execution and DLA compilation were not run.
python -m pytest tests/unit/onnx/graph_surgery tests/unit/onnx/test_gqa_graph_surgery.py tests/unit/onnx/quantization/test_dq_transpose_surgery.py --noconftest -o addopts= -q --tb=short --durations=8

Tests used Hugging Face offline mode; repository-wide conftest/addopts were disabled while test-module fixtures and numerical inference still ran.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Backward compatible: yes; existing converters and surgeries retain their behavior.
  • Third-party code/new runtime dependencies: no new runtime dependency; contribution and security guidance reviewed.
  • Necessary tests: included, with regression cases verified before and after each fix.
  • Changelog: public DLA integration is documented in part 16.
  • Commits: signed off and SSH-signed. New helper and test functions have docstrings.
  • Claude approval: pending for the current commits.

Additional Information

Part 2/17, after PR1 #2831 (merged). The next slice is PR3 #2955. Merge the stack from the bottom upward; public API/CLI integration follows in part 16.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • New Features
    • Save ONNX models with tensor data embedded in the model or stored in a separate file.
    • Choose the external data filename and set a size threshold for storing tensors separately.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid external data locations, unsafe file links, and incomplete external tensor data are rejected before files are changed.
    • Existing files and tensor data are preserved when a save fails, allowing you to retry without losing the original data.
    • Embedded saves preserve loaded external tensor data and the model’s existing storage state.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "[2/17] Add shared ONNX model saving for DLA surgeries" states the main change. The changeset adds the save_onnx_model helper in graph_utils.py, which saves ONNX models inline or with external weights, plus tests for it. The title names that helper and its purpose. The "[2/17]" prefix marks the stack position and does not describe the code change. The title is short, specific, and single-sentence.

Full details: Security Anti-Patterns

Explanation

PASS. The authoritative diff changes only modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/utils/graph_utils.py and its tests. Added code contains no torch.load(..., weights_only=False), pickle-enabled NumPy load, hardcoded trust_remote_code=True, external-input eval()/exec(), or # nosec. No pyproject.toml or requirements file changed, so no new dependency requires review.

Use a staging-only location for ONNX conversion.

When saving model.onnx twice, the final relative sidecar already exists in the process working directory. ONNX 1.21.0 then raises FileExistsError before staging starts.

Pass location=None or a unique temporary name during conversion. Keep assigning the final sidecar location in set_external_data.

Addressed the staging-location finding in 62c45b4: conversion no longer uses the final sidecar name, so repeated saves in the working directory succeed. All three dtype cases failed before the fix and pass afterward. fd948cb additionally protects model/sidecar filesystem aliases and rollback. Added the missing test docstring; all new helper and test functions have docstrings. Focused validation: 82 tests passed; rebased stack suite: 325 passed. Pre-commit and commit-signature checks passed. Requesting a full review of the current head.

031f2b5 fixes inline saving when loaded tensors retain EXTERNAL metadata. ONNX performs the conversion; shared metadata-only snapshot/restore helpers preserve the caller on success and failure and avoid a full weight copy. Six regression cases cover initializers, Constant attributes, and nested If graphs, including real write failures. All fail before the fix and pass afterward. Validation on the rebased stack: 88 focused tests and 331 combined tests passed, hooks passed, and all rewritten heads have verified signatures. Requesting a full review of the current head.

🟡 Minor · Stage inline saves before replacing the existing model file. · graph_utils.py:143-152

modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/utils/graph_utils.py:143-152
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stage inline saves before replacing the existing model file.

The inline branch writes output_path directly with onnx.save. A write error after the destination is opened can truncate the previous model. The external branch avoids this by staging the model and using os.replace. The inline branch does not, and the new tests do not check preservation of an existing inline model.

Suggested fix
     if not use_external_data:
         states = _snapshot_tensor_storage(model, external_only=True)
         try:
             if states:
                 onnx.external_data_helper.convert_model_from_external_data(model)
-            onnx.save(model, output_path)
+            with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory(dir=output_dir or ".") as temporary:
+                staged_model = Path(temporary) / Path(output_path).name
+                onnx.save(model, staged_model)
+                os.replace(staged_model, output_path)
         finally:
             _restore_tensor_storage(states)

81191a5 addresses the outside-diff finding in review PRR_kwDOLyRtKc8AAAABT2RzUg: inline serialization now writes to a temporary file in the destination directory, then replaces the model only after the write succeeds. The existing metadata journal still restores caller state in finally. Four regression cases fail before the fix and pass afterward, covering actual partial serialization writes and failed final replacements with and without external metadata; they also verify old-file/sidecar preservation, cleanup and successful retry. Validation: 81 helper tests, 11 protected public-surgery numerical tests, and 335 tests on the rebased integration stack passed. Hooks and signatures passed; all newly introduced functions, including nested failure injectors, have docstrings. Existing public transforms and dtype converters retain their implementations. Requesting a full review of the updated head.

🟡 Minor · Clear tensor payloads only after the sidecar closes without error. · graph_utils.py:258-270

modelopt/onnx/graph_surgery/utils/graph_utils.py:258-270
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear tensor payloads only after the sidecar closes without error.

_save_external_weights clears each raw_data inside the write loop, before stream is closed. Buffered writes can remain in user-space memory until flush() or close(), so the trailing tensors may not reach the staged sidecar when the with block exits. If that flush or close raises OSError (for example, a full disk or an I/O error on a network mount), those tensors keep no raw_data and have no bytes on disk.

The except BaseException handler then restores payloads from weights_path. The read is short for the unflushed tail, so the handler raises OSError before _restore_tensor_storage(states) runs. The caller's model keeps cleared tensors and changed storage metadata. A retry from that object cannot rebuild the lost bytes. The short-read check reports this loss but cannot recover the bytes.

Keep each payload until the with block exits successfully:

Suggested fix
         if tensors:
             # ONNX 1.21 reopens sidecars in Windows text mode, truncating trailing 0x1A.
+            staged = []
             with weights_path.open("wb") as stream:
                 for tensor in tensors:
                     data, offset = tensor.raw_data, stream.tell()
                     stream.write(data)
                     onnx.external_data_helper.set_external_data(
                         tensor, location, offset=offset, length=len(data)
                     )
-                    payloads.append((tensor, offset, len(data)))
-                    tensor.ClearField("raw_data")
+                    staged.append((tensor, offset, len(data)))
                     del data
+            # Clear only after the sidecar closes; a failed close keeps the caller's bytes.
+            for tensor, _, _ in staged:
+                tensor.ClearField("raw_data")
+            payloads.extend(staged)

With this change, a failed close leaves payloads empty and every raw_data intact. The handler then restores only metadata. After a successful close, the sidecar is complete, so the existing rollback reads from it correctly. The trade-off is that all external payloads stay resident until the sidecar closes. The current code releases them incrementally.

4fc0ba4 addresses the outside-diff buffered-sidecar finding from review PRR_kwDOLyRtKc8AAAABT2duaA. Caller raw_data is retained until the binary writer closes successfully, then the completed sidecar becomes the payload rollback source and tensors are cleared. A failed buffered write or close now restores only metadata, preserving the caller bytes without reading an incomplete sidecar. Four real BufferedWriter/FileIO failure cases fail before the fix and pass afterward, covering failures during writing and closing with and without existing external metadata; they verify exact caller/prior-file preservation, cleanup and successful retry. Validation: 96 focused/public numerical tests and 339 tests on the rebased integration stack passed; hooks and signatures passed, and all introduced functions have docstrings. A 256 MiB external-save measurement showed similar additional peak RSS (32.10 MiB after, 32.05 MiB before) and single-run times (0.1466 s after, 0.1487 s before).
