Tensor parallelism (-sm tensor) combined with -ncmoe (CPU-offloaded MoE
experts) aborts during warm-up on MoE models with
GGML_ASSERT(ggml_is_contiguous(tensor)) in ggml-backend-meta.cpp.
The failing tensor is the MoE router output (ffn_moe_topk): it is mirrored
(GGML_BACKEND_SPLIT_AXIS_MIRRORED, replicated across backends since routing
must be identical) and happens to be a non-contiguous view.
ggml_backend_meta_buffer_{get,set}_tensor asserted contiguity before
consulting the split state, so a mirrored non-contiguous tensor tripped the
assert even though the GGML_BACKEND_SPLIT_AXIS_MIRRORED case right below
already handles it.
Move the split-state lookup above the assert and allow the mirrored case in
both get_tensor and set_tensor.

* Make ggml_gated_delta_net take only the initial recurrent state (D, 1, n_seqs) and passes the snapshot count K as an op parameter instead of inferring it from state->ne[1].
Remove the padding hack and copy all emitted snapshots into the recurrent cache with a single strided ggml_cpy
* Make GDN changes in all backends. Address review comments.
* Fix CI build errors
* TP: fix ggml context size calculation, memory leak

* convert: fix mtp conversion
* mtp -> draft-mtp
* remove unused llama_arch
* add need_embd in speculative
* llama: allow partial seq_rm for GDN models for speculative decoding
Currently speculative checkpoint needs to restart from a checkpoint
after some draft tokens are not accepted, this leads to some wastage in
running the target again. This PR adds the ability to rollback upto
`draft_max` by storing the GDN intermediates.
* fix pending state
* vulkan: add GDN partial rollback
* meta: extend check to axis 1
* metal: add GDN partial rollback
Extend the gated delta net kernel to store intermediate states for
partial rollback support on the Metal backend.
- Add K (snapshot slot count) as a function constant
- Read input state from slot 0 of the 3D state tensor
- Write intermediate states to different slots during token loop
- For K=1, maintain backward-compatible single-slot behavior

The previous code worked only for full tensor reads and writes and was hitting `GGML_ASSERT(size == ggml_nbytes(tensor)); ` assert when tested with llama-server.
* Fix delayed AllReduce on Gemma-4 MoE
Skip forward past nodes that don't consume the current one, and allow a chain of MULs.
* Check for all sources before skipping nodes
* Address review comments
* cache subgraph splits when cgraph is unchanged
Skip per-call subgraph construction in ggml_backend_meta_graph_compute when the same ggml_cgraph is used consecutively.
Assign uid to every sub-graph so that CUDA's fast uid check path hits too.
* Address review comments
* Keep the scope as is
* Rename last_uid and last_n_subgraphs field. Remove last_max_tmp_size field. Refactor code.
* Address review comments
* Update ggml/src/ggml-backend-meta.cpp

* Fix crash with Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0
Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 has an intermediate dimension of 768. Using a granularity of 256 forces an uneven split between GPUs, which is not supported by the current implementation.
