These tests pass on the reference backend.
- Add aten.linear op + shape xfer function + ATen->Linalg lowering.
- Note: this needs to be more automated, and needs to cover more cases.
- Current not implemented caveats:
- size-1 broadcasting for bias vector (either static-size-1 or ? case)
- higher-rank aten.linear ops (not produced by torch.nn.Linear though)
- type promotion (still don't even know the exact rules here)
- Add folder for torch.derefine op. Now the inliner can clean it up as
it inlines. (call boundaries are a main place we need to insert
torch.derefine) This is brittle -- the other important case is control
flow which will need to be handled via an extension to
RefineTypes.cpp (as will more robust call handling). River has an
in-flight patch to update it to the new dataflow framework so I didn't
want to do anything intrusive here.
- Also adjust torch.derefine syntax to use the keyword `to` instead of
`->`, as most type-only, cast-like ops do.
In terms of IR structure, TorchScript allows types to vary in many
circumstances where MLIR requires pointer-identical types. In particular,
it is valid to pass any subtype in place of a type. For example, if an
`Optional[int]` is required somewhere in the IR, it is legal to pass a
value of just `int` (but not the other way around; see
`torch.prim.unchecked_cast`). In effect, every *use* can have a different
type.
We introduce a new op `torch.derefine` that models that impedance
mismatch. This op allows casting a value from one type to a type that it
is a subtype of to model this behavior.
Recommended review order:
- TorchOps.td for new torch.derefine (and updated docs for
`torch.prim.unchecked_cast`)
- new test code in if.py, loop.py, function-derefine.py
- new code in node_importer.cpp for handling derefinement insertion
- function_importer.cpp and utils changes in torch_to_mlir_utils.cpp
Properly handling derefinement on function boundaries required
relayering the code so that graph_importer.cpp/.h is now
function_importer.cpp/.h because only the `torch::jit::Function`
(actually the `c10::FunctionSchema` it holds) knows the derefined types that are
actually needed at the boundary (see `function-derefine.py` for a test).
Annoyingly, this churns all the functions which are now prefixed with
`__torch__.` but that is more correct anyway (that is their linkage name
in the `torch::jit::CompilationUnit`; the previous `mb.import_function`
was actually buggy in the case of functions calling each other as it
would reference their unqualified name).
With this change, we can import `resnet18` from `torchvision` :)
