Subject: [PATCH 01/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Add linalg.local_softmax op
Add a new linalg.local_softmax operation that computes per-tile local
softmax with statistics (P, m, l), enabling partial results to be
consumed immediately by a downstream rescaling matmul for FlashAttention.
The op:
- Takes input tensor [..., D, ...] and tile_size parameter
- Produces 3 outputs: P [..., tn, ts, ...] (per-tile softmax),
m [..., tn, ...] (per-tile max), l [..., tn, ...] (per-tile denominator)
- Implements TilingInterface (getIterationDomain, getLoopIteratorTypes,
getTiledImplementation, getResultTilePosition, generateResultTileValue)
- Implements AggregatedOpInterface (decomposeOperation) which lowers to
expand_shape + 4 linalg.generic ops (max, sub+exp, sum, div)
- Implements ReifyRankedShapedTypeOpInterface and MemoryEffectsOpInterface
Tests:
- Roundtrip parsing/printing (2D, dim0, 3D cases)
- Verifier negative tests (5 error conditions)
- Decomposition to generic ops (FileCheck validated)
- Tiling via transform dialect (validates getTiledImplementation)

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Add pattern-match pass for online
softmax (FlashAttention)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add a rewrite pass that recognizes `linalg.softmax → linalg.matmul` and
transforms it into `linalg.local_softmax` + rescaling matmul generic,
enabling FlashAttention via standard linalg tile-and-fuse.
The pass:
- Matches softmax whose result feeds a matmul (softmax dim == contraction dim)
- Emits `linalg.local_softmax` (per-tile softmax + stats)
- Emits `tensor.expand_shape` for V: [N, Kv] → [tn, ts, Kv]
- Emits `linalg.generic` with rescaling matmul body (online correction + V matmul)
- When softmax has other users: additionally emits rescaling_softmax generic (V=I)
with identity matrix produced via linalg.generic + linalg.index
End-to-end validation: after applying the rewrite + tile-and-fuse via transform
dialect, all three ops (first GEMM, local_softmax, rescaling matmul) fuse into a
single scf.for loop — no [M, N] matrices materialized.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Add end-to-end FlashAttention fusion
test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add a test that demonstrates the full pipeline:
softmax(Q @ K^T) @ V
→ pattern-match rewrite (online softmax)
→ tile-and-fuse (all ops into single scf.for loop)
The test verifies that after the rewrite + tile + fusion:
- First GEMM, local_softmax, and rescaling matmul are all inside one loop
- No [M, N] tensors are materialized — only tile-sized [M, ts] buffers
- The loop iterates over tn tiles sequentially

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Rename online-softmax pass to
softmax-matmul-fusion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Rename the pass and files from "online-softmax" to "softmax-matmul-fusion"
which better describes what the pass does: fuses a softmax with its
downstream matmul into a tiled FlashAttention loop.
Renames:
- OnlineSoftmax.cpp → SoftmaxMatmulFusion.cpp
- online-softmax-rewrite.mlir → softmax-matmul-fusion-rewrite.mlir
- online-softmax-e2e.mlir → softmax-matmul-fusion-e2e.mlir
- test option: test-online-softmax-rewrite → test-softmax-matmul-fusion-rewrite
- tile size option: online-softmax-tile-size → softmax-matmul-fusion-tile-size
- API: populateOnlineSoftmaxPatterns → populateSoftmaxMatmulFusionPatterns

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Generic-only softmax-matmul-fusion (Path
A: expand_shape)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Modify the softmax-matmul-fusion pass to emit standard linalg.generic ops
instead of linalg.local_softmax:
- tensor.expand_shape: S[M,N] → S_tiled[M, tn, ts]
- 4 linalg.generic ops: per-tile max, exp(S-m), per-tile sum, P=num/l
- rescaling_matmul generic (unchanged)
Status:
- Rewrite works correctly (produces expand_shape + 4 generics + rescaling_matmul)
- Partial fusion achieved: elementwise generics (exp, div) fuse into the
rescaling_matmul's tile loop via transform dialect
- Full fusion (including first GEMM) blocked by expand_shape barrier
- Next step: integrate bubble-up patterns to move extract_slice before expand_shape

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Generic-only FlashAttention e2e: full
fusion via bubble-up
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Demonstrate that FlashAttention can be achieved WITHOUT a named local_softmax
op, using only standard linalg.generic ops + tensor.expand_shape + bubble-up
patterns.
The pipeline:
1. Pattern-match rewrite: softmax+matmul → expand_shape + 4 generics + rescaling_matmul
2. Tile rescaling_matmul on tn dimension
3. Fuse local softmax generics (elementwise + reductions) into the tile loop
4. Apply bubble-up patterns (move extract_slice before expand_shape)
5. Fuse first GEMM into the tile loop (now unblocked)
Result: single scf.for loop containing matmul + expand_shape + max + exp + sum +
div + rescaling_matmul. No [M,N] tensors materialized.
The bubble-up pattern is the key enabler: it resolves the expand_shape fusion
barrier by moving extract_slice operations before the reshape.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Remove linalg.local_softmax op from
generic-only branch
Remove the named linalg.local_softmax op since the generic-only path
(expand_shape + 4 linalg.generic ops + bubble-up patterns) achieves
full FlashAttention fusion without it.
Removed:
- LocalSoftmaxOp definition from LinalgOps.td
- All LocalSoftmaxOp C++ implementation from LinalgOps.cpp
- local-softmax-*.mlir test files
- test-decompose-local-softmax test option
- softmax-matmul-fusion-e2e.mlir (replaced by generic-e2e test)
Remaining:
- softmax-matmul-fusion-rewrite.mlir (updated for generic-only output)
- softmax-matmul-fusion-generic-e2e.mlir (end-to-end with bubble-up)

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Generalize softmax-matmul-fusion to
batch (3D) case
Extend the pattern-match pass to handle:
- linalg.batch_matmul (rank-3: [B, M, N] x [B, N, Kv])
- linalg.softmax on the last dimension of any rank-2 or rank-3 tensor
- Batch dimensions are preserved as parallel throughout
The rewrite now produces generics with dynamic rank (batch + M + tn + ts)
and the rescaling matmul has iterator types:
[parallel(batch), parallel(m), reduction(tn), reduction(ts), parallel(kv)]
Verified: 3D batch case tiles and fuses local softmax generics into
the scf.for loop correctly, with batch dimension fully parallel.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Replace identity matrix
rescaling_softmax with 2 generics + collapse
Replace the O(N^2) identity matrix approach for recovering global softmax
with a simpler and efficient 2-generic + collapse_shape approach:
1. Generic 1: Reduce (m, l) over tn to compute M_global and L_global
- M_global[batch, M] = max over all tiles
- L_global[batch, M] = sum(l_i * exp(m_i - M_global))
2. Generic 2: Elementwise correction of P
- corrected_P[batch, M, tn, ts] = P * l * exp(m - M_global) / L_global
3. tensor.collapse_shape: [batch, M, tn, ts] -> [batch, M, N]
This avoids materializing an [N, N] identity matrix (where N can be 4K-128K+).
Works for both 2D and 3D (batch) cases.

Subject: [PATCH 10/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Fix batch_matmul matching and update e2e
tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Fix findMatchingMatmulUser to properly get LHS via LinalgOp::getDpsInputs()
instead of a ternary on null MatmulOp (which failed for BatchMatmulOp).
Update e2e tests to reflect current state:
- Local softmax generics + rescaling matmul fuse into scf.for loop
- First GEMM (matmul/batch_matmul) stays outside (expand_shape barrier)
- fold_unit_extent_dims_via_reshapes doesn't help for non-unit-extent
expand (e.g., [128] → [4, 32]) — removed from transform sequence
The expand_shape barrier remains the known limitation of the generic-only
path. The named op approach (online-softmax branch) avoids this entirely.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] [MLIR][Tensor] Implement TilingInterface for
tensor.expand_shape
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add TilingInterface external model for tensor.ExpandShapeOp, enabling
tile-and-fuse to trace producer chains through expand_shape operations.
When a consumer requests a tile of the expanded output, the implementation
maps the tile offsets back to the collapsed input space (linearizing the
expanded dims) and generates an extract_slice on the source tensor.
This unblocks the FlashAttention fusion pipeline: the first GEMM (which
produces flat S[M, N]) can now be fused through the expand_shape
(S → S_tiled[M, tn, ts]) into the local softmax tile loop.
Limitation: assumes the tile request is contiguous within each
reassociation group (valid for tiling one expanded dim at a time).
End-to-end test verified: single scf.for loop containing matmul +
4 local softmax generics + rescaling matmul — full FlashAttention
with no named op and no [M, N] materialization.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] [MLIR][Linalg] Emit second GEMM split so it vectorizes
to vector.contract
The softmax-matmul-fusion rewrite now emits the second GEMM already split
into separable ops, so the matmul is a standalone contraction rather than a
reduction fused with the online-softmax recurrence:
op1 pv = sum_ts(num * V) (tn parallel, ts reduction) -> vector.contract
op1b lsum = sum_ts(num) (per-tile denominator)
op2 online recurrence over tn (running max + rescale; pure elementwise body
consuming pv, m, lsum; no matmul)
op3 final divide O = O_acc / L_acc
The split rests on the identity sum_ts(num*beta*V) = beta*sum_ts(num*V): the
running-max correction beta is invariant across the ts contraction, so the raw
contraction is computed once (op1) and beta is applied to the result inside the
recurrence (op2). This deviates from Triton's loop-coupled dot(exp(qk-m_ij), v)
but yields the same O, and exposes op1 as a separable vector.contract.
After tile-and-fuse on op2 plus fold_unit_extent_dims_via_slices, BOTH GEMMs
lower to vector.contract and no linalg.generic survives the loop body
(softmax-matmul-fusion-vectorize.mlir).
