What does this PR do?

Type of change: Bug fix

Fixes ONNX AutoQDQ remote safety benchmarking when --skipInference prevents the host-side trtexec invocation from reporting latency.

After the existing remote-autotuning build completes, ModelOpt now copies the generated engine to the configured target, runs trtexec_safe there, and parses its median GPU compute time. Remote configuration, transport, and execution failures preserve the existing infinite-latency behavior.

The implementation uses key-based SSH authentication, validates connection parameters, attempts to clean up its generated remote engine, and does not add new public API or CLI options. Documentation and focused regression tests are included. Custom plugin transfer and loading on the target remain out of scope.

Usage

python -m modelopt.onnx.quantization.autotune \
    --onnx_path model.onnx \
    --output_dir ./results \
    --use_trtexec \
    --trtexec_benchmark_args \
    '--remoteAutoTuningConfig="ssh://user@target?remote_exec_path=/opt/tensorrt/bin&remote_lib_path=/opt/tensorrt/lib" --safe --skipInference'

The target must support non-interactive key authentication and provide trtexec_safe alongside the configured remote_exec_path.

Testing

Ran:

PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python -m pytest -p no:cacheprovider -q \
    tests/gpu/onnx/quantization/autotune/test_benchmark.py

Result: 38 passed, 2 skipped. The skipped tests require a real trtexec binary on PATH.

All targeted pre-commit hooks passed, including Ruff, mypy, Bandit, RST validation, and Markdown linting.

Real safety-target validation has not yet been run and is required before marking this PR ready for review.

Additional Information

[6034518]

Security review is requested because this change extends the existing subprocess boundary to invoke the fixed system ssh and scp executables. Commands use list-form arguments without a local shell; SSH destinations and ports are validated; remote paths are shell-quoted; password-bearing URLs are rejected; and SSH runs in non-interactive key-only mode.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Remote ONNX AutoQDQ benchmarks now run generated engines with trtexec_safe on the configured target and use median GPU Compute Time for latency results.
    • Remote configuration errors, benchmark failures, timeouts, or missing latency return infinite latency. Unsupported TensorRT versions fall back to local benchmarking.
    • Temporary remote engines are subject to cleanup attempts after benchmarking.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified remote autotuning requirements, including passwordless SSH and target-side trtexec_safe.
    • Documented remote engine transfer, cleanup attempts, benchmark options, and host-only custom plugin support.

Explanation

The PR adds # nosec B603 to the new _run_command helper in modelopt/onnx/quantization/ort_utils.py. The base revision had the suppression on the direct trtexec call; this change moves it to a shared helper that now also runs the newly added SSH/SCP commands. SECURITY.md prohibits # nosec bypasses. The scoped Python diff showed no added instances of the other listed patterns.

Bot review (gpt-5.6-sol) — DM the bot to share feedback.

Changes requested: split-form remote configuration is mishandled on the unsupported-version path, and required safety validation remains outstanding.

Needs action:

  • Fix the split-form --remoteAutoTuningConfig <url> removal in benchmark.py and add a regression test; see inline comment.
  • Request explicit review from @NVIDIA/modelopt-setup-codeowners for the new # nosec B603, as required by SECURITY.md.
  • Run and report the PR-described real safety-target validation before marking this ready.

No action needed:

  • The design choice is adequately justified: native TensorRT remote autotuning cannot report latency under --skipInference; system ssh/scp avoids a new dependency, while the existing launcher SSH abstraction is tools-specific.

Bot comment.

Please remove both tokens for the supported split form --remoteAutoTuningConfig <url>. This comprehension removes only the flag and leaves the URL as a bare trtexec argument when the installed version is unsupported, so the advertised fallback invokes a malformed command. Add this form to the fallback regression test as well (or return the documented infinite-latency failure directly).

Fixed in a36ff61. The unsupported-version fallback now removes both inline and split-form remote configuration arguments. The public-seam regression test covers both forms and verifies that neither the flag nor the URL reaches local trtexec. The affected benchmark module passes: 38 passed, 2 environment-gated skips.

official NVIDIA TensorRT trtexec documentation --skipInference latency

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the official NVIDIA TensorRT documentation, the --skipInference flag is used with the trtexec command-line tool to build and save a TensorRT engine without executing the inference phase [1][2][3]. Because this flag explicitly skips the inference execution, it prevents trtexec from running performance benchmarks and generating latency or throughput reports [2][4]. If you use --skipInference, trtexec completes only the build phase, which compiles the input model (such as ONNX) into a serialized plan file (engine) [2][4][3]. This is particularly useful when you intend only to verify the model compilation process or to produce an engine for later use, without incurring the time required to run inference iterations [2][4]. Historically, this flag replaces the deprecated --buildOnly flag used in older versions of TensorRT (such as 8.x) [5].

Fail closed when remote autotuning is unsupported.

This fallback removes only the --remoteAutoTuningConfig token. It retains --safe and --skipInference; --skipInference makes trtexec build the engine without running inference, so no host-side latency is available. With the two-token form, it also leaves the URL as a stray trtexec argument.

The added test does not detect either case. It uses the --remoteAutoTuningConfig=<URL> form, supplies mocked latency-bearing stdout, and does not inspect the constructed command.

Set _remote_config_error and return float("inf") instead of invoking a local fallback.

Fixed the malformed split-form fallback in a36ff61. The regression test now covers inline and split forms and verifies that neither the remote flag nor URL reaches local trtexec. The existing local fallback is intentionally preserved for backward compatibility; changing it to an immediate infinite-latency failure would be a separate behavior change.

@ajrasane, the split-form fix is correct. _remove_remote_autotuning_config() removes both the split flag and its URL. The updated test verifies both inline and split forms.

The remaining finding is separate from malformed arguments. If --skipInference remains in the local fallback command, local trtexec cannot report latency. The fallback then performs a local engine build before it returns float("inf"). The regression test supplies synthetic latency output, so it does not cover this production path.

I will keep this thread open because the requested fail-closed behavior is not implemented. If you prefer to defer that behavior change, please consider a follow-up issue with the unsupported remote-autotuning case and --skipInference as the acceptance condition.

Remove the # nosec B603 suppression. The repository policy prohibits # nosec comments in modelopt/**/*.py. This suppression already existed on the shared _run_command call; it was not introduced by this change. The list-form argv, trusted executable selection, and absence of shell=True make this a policy violation, not an exploitable command-injection boundary.

suppression from the subprocess.run call in _run_command, leaving the existing
list-form invocation and command execution behavior unchanged.

Keeping the targeted # nosec B603 pending the repository-required security exception review. Bandit flags this list-form subprocess boundary, and pyproject.toml explicitly says use of # nosec BXXX requires special approval. The inline why-needed/why-safe rationale and PR-body justification are present, and @NVIDIA/modelopt-setup-codeowners is now requested. The executable is selected internally, argv remains list-form, and no local shell is used. I will follow the security CODEOWNERS decision.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-295 — Improper Certificate Validation

Enforce SSH host-key verification for all remote commands.

BatchMode does not enforce host-key verification. If the system SSH configuration permits unknown keys, a network attacker can impersonate the configured target and receive the generated engine. Add strict checking to the upload, benchmark, and cleanup commands. Provision the expected target key in an approved known_hosts file; the repository cannot pin one fixed key because the target is configurable.

Proposed change
     upload_command = [
         "scp",
         "-oBatchMode=yes",
+        "-oStrictHostKeyChecking=yes",

Apply the same option to benchmark_command and cleanup_command.

Hardware validation is ready but currently blocked on an available safety target. The historical target used by the internal reproduction is unreachable from both the validation host and a9, and its historical configuration is password-based while this PR intentionally requires non-interactive key authentication. @gcunhase @dmoodie, could you bring up or provide a key-auth target with the relevant TensorRT safety runtime and trtexec_safe? I will run the documented end-to-end AutoQDQ reproduction and post finite remote latency plus temporary-engine cleanup evidence here. No target address or credentials will be posted.

244-273: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the upload destination and matching remote engine path.

The test checks the remote executable and timing flags, but it does not check the SCP call or --loadEngine. A regression in either path can therefore pass the test while the target benchmarks a missing or different engine. Add assertions that both commands use the same generated remote path.

Suggested fix
     remote_command = run_mock.call_args_list[2].args[0]
+    remote_engine_path = f".modelopt_{Path(benchmark.temp_dir).name}.engine.trt"
+    upload_command = run_mock.call_args_list[1].args[0]
+    assert upload_command[-1] == f"alice@10.0.0.5:{remote_engine_path}"
     assert remote_command[0] == "ssh"
     assert "/opt/trt/bin/trtexec_safe" in remote_command[-1]
+    assert f"--loadEngine={remote_engine_path}" in remote_command[-1]
     assert "--useCudaGraph" in remote_command[-1]
