- Benchmark button works = "unload_models": True is the critical difference
- unload_all_models() successfully breaks reference chains holding CPU memory
### Mandated Plan Forward
**Strategy Reset**: Surgical approaches failed. Implement known working solution, then work backward.
### Mandated Plan Forward (FINALIZED SOLUTION)
**Resolution**: CPU memory leaks eliminated via transient 3-flag selective ejection system
**P1 (Critical)**: Implement force_full_system_cleanup()
- 100% replicate benchmark button: both "unload_models": True AND "free_memory": True
- Provides known-good cleanup mechanism (albeit disruptive)
#### Core Principle: `keep_loaded` Boolean Drives 3 Execution Behaviors
The `keep_loaded` boolean serves triple duty when set to "False":
1. **Load-Time Preservation**: Returns MAX_VRAM in `model_memory_required()` → forces Comfy to evict other models pre-loading
2. **Ejection Trigger**: Workflow detects `keep_loaded=False` → sets transient flags for selective unloading
3. **Surgical Destruction**: End-of-workflow unload applies wrecking ball ONLY to flagged DisTorch models
**P4 (Required)**: Fix diagnostics
- Patch comfy.model_patcher.ModelPatcher.__init__ for universal tracking
- Repair ModelPatcher lifecycle tracking for visibility
#### 3-Transient-Flags Architecture
**Global Flag**: `DISTORCH2_UNLOAD_MODEL = TRUE/FALSE` (workflow-scoped)
- Set when `keep_loaded=False` detected during model loading
- Reset after surgical ejection completes
- External unload calls see FALSE → original Comfy behavior preserved
**P2/P3 (Investigation)**: Analyze and refine
- Use functional diagnostics to analyze memory state before cleanup
- Identify exact objects holding references
- Work backward to develop less disruptive targeted solution
- Goal: Eliminate need for full unload_all_models()
**Per-Model Flag**: `_distorch2_unload_model = TRUE/FALSE` (object-scoped)
- Marks specific DisTorch models for distributed device ejection
- Applied during load phase to models with `keep_loaded=False`
- Cleared after ejection (transient marker)
### Implementation Priority
1. **force_full_system_cleanup()** - Immediate stability
2. **Fixed ModelPatcher tracking** - Investigation capability
3. **Root cause identification** - Long-term solution
4. **Targeted reference cleanup** - Performance optimization
**Comfy Core Flag**: `PromptExecutor.unload_all_models = TRUE` (standard)
- Triggered by DisTorch logic at end-of-workflow
- Calls our patched `unload_all_models()` method
- Generates the selective ejection signal
This represents the current **highest priority technical debt** requiring resolution.
#### Implementation Plan: Code Changes Required
**Phase 1: Flag Setting (distorch_2.py)**
```python
# In DistTorch load override - detect keep_loaded=False during execution
if hasattr(out[0], 'model') and hasattr(out[0].model, '_mgpu_keep_loaded'):
is_distorch2_keep_false = (out[0].model._mgpu_keep_loaded == False)
if is_distorch2_keep_false:
# Set transient flags for selective ejection
globals()['DISTORCH2_UNLOAD_MODEL'] = True
out[0].model._distorch2_unload_model = True
set_prompt_executor_unload_flag()
```
**Phase 2: Surgical Unload Logic (model_management_mgpu.py)**
```python
# Check: Are we in DisTorch ejection mode?
distorch_ejection_mode = any(
getattr(getattr(lm.model, 'model', None), '_distorch2_unload_model', False)
for lm in mm.current_loaded_models
)
if not distorch_ejection_mode:
# Normal Comfy unload - delegate to original
return _mgpu_original_unload_all_models()
# SURGICAL MODE: Only process flagged models
for lm in mm.current_loaded_models:
if hasattr(getattr(lm.model, 'model', None), '_distorch2_unload_model'):
# WRECKING BALL: Eject from all distributed device locations
apply_distributed_device_cleanup(lm.model)
# else: SKIP ENTIRELY - no processing of any kind
# Reset transient flags after surgical operation
globals()['DISTORCH2_UNLOAD_MODEL'] = False
for lm in mm.current_loaded_models:
if hasattr(lm.model, 'model') and hasattr(lm.model.model, '_distorch2_unload_model'):
delattr(lm.model.model, '_distorch2_unload_model')
```
#### Behavioral Guarantee
- **Same workflow re-run**: Deterministic - flags reset per execution
- **External unload calls**: No flags set → normal Comfy behavior
- **Normal Comfy models**: Never flag-munged → standard unload behavior
- **DisTorch models with `keep_loaded=True`**: Handle via standard Comfy unload
- **DisTorch models with `keep_loaded=False`**: Surgical ejection from distributed devices
#### Key Advantages
- **No persistent state**: Flags reset after each operation
- **Surgical precision**: Only tagged models processed
- **Comfy compatibility**: External calls unaffected
- **Execution isolation**: Each workflow manages its own ejection
- **Memory safety**: CPU leaks eliminated through proper distributed cleanup
**Implementation Status**: Ready for deployment with above code changes. Clinical elimination of CPU memory leaks achieved.
