There was a problem hiding this comment.
This change is a bit confusing to me. With p0 I would understand "position zero", but now this parameter seem to mean "previous max pos" instead.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was focused on simplifying the call site by absorbing the + 1 into the function, but you are right that this makes the parameter meaning more confusing. Changed back to the previous version and also added assert for p0.

llama_decode()now verifies that if the input batch haspos == nullit should also haveseq_id == nullso that we can automatically assign all tokens toseq_id == 0starting from the max position currently in the cache. This fixes/prevents an edge case where a batch withpos == nullthat also has tokens withseq_id != 0would be assigned incorrect positions by thellama_batch_allocr./metricsendpoint. These are too internal and implementation-specific and should not be exposed to the public.
