  • Scheduler: Workload placement optimization

Usage Examples

```python
from llm_device import DeviceManager, DeviceType, DeviceCapability

Auto-select optimal device

device = DeviceManager.get_optimal_device()
print(f"Selected: {device.name}")

Check capabilities

if device.has_capability(DeviceCapability.FP16):
print("FP16 inference supported")

Allocate memory

tensor = device.allocate(size_bytes=10241024100) # 100MB

Execute inference

output = device.execute(model, inputs)

Multi-device setup

devices = DeviceManager.get_available_devices()
for d in devices:
print(f"{d.name}: {d.memory_total_bytes / 1024**3:.1f}GB")
```

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a FUSE-based virtual filesystem interface for interacting with LLMs. It includes MockLLMClient and optional Claude API client implementations, per-session context management, and filesystem operations to trigger completions, configure parameters, and persist conversation history.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
LLM Device Implementation
llm_device.py
Adds MockLLMClient (in-process mock with metrics), ClaudeLLMClient (Anthropic API with fallback), Session dataclass (prompt/response tracking and context building), and LLMDevice FUSE filesystem class with full virtual directory structure (/claude, /sessions, /status), standard FUSE operations (getattr, readdir, read, write, open, create, mkdir, unlink, rmdir), and CLI entry point with test mode.
LLM Device Tests
test_llm_device.py
Adds TestMockClient, TestSession, TestLLMDevice, and TestSessionFiles test classes exercising mock LLM responses, metrics tracking, session exchanges, filesystem operations, directory listings, file attributes, and session I/O semantics.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45 minutes

  • FUSE filesystem operations: Multiple operation handlers (read, write, open, create, mkdir, unlink, rmdir, truncate) with state management and error handling
  • LLM client abstraction: Two client implementations with different behaviors (mock vs. API), graceful fallback logic, and metrics tracking
  • Session context management: Complex context building with prior exchange history and per-session configuration
  • Concurrency: Threading.Lock usage for thread safety across multiple file operations
  • Test coverage density: 4 test classes with 16+ test methods covering multiple interaction patterns
  • Areas requiring extra attention:
    • FUSE operation edge cases (missing paths, permission handling, file handle management)
    • Claude API integration fallback behavior when API key is absent or import fails
    • Session context prompt building—ensure prior exchanges are correctly aggregated
    • Thread safety: Verify Lock placement covers all shared state mutations
    • Mock vs. real client mode transitions and metric accuracy

Poem

🐰 Hop, hop! Through the /dev/llm forest so fine,
Sessions and prompts in a filesystem divine,
Mock clients frolic while Claude dreams of replies,
Each write and read stacks context's disguise—
A virtual warren where LLMs reside! 🌟

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (5 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Title check ⚠️ Warning The PR title claims to add an LLM Device Abstraction Layer but the actual changes implement a FUSE filesystem for LLM interaction via file operations, which does not match the described unified device management for heterogeneous hardware. Revise the title to accurately reflect the actual implementation, such as 'feat: Add FUSE-based LLM filesystem interface' or align implementation with the stated device abstraction objectives.
Description check ⚠️ Warning The PR description extensively documents a unified device management system for CPU/GPU/NPU/Cloud orchestration, but the actual implementation is a FUSE filesystem for LLM prompting and session management with MockLLMClient and ClaudeLLMClient. Update the PR description to accurately reflect the actual implementation changes, including FUSE filesystem design, session management, and LLM client architecture instead of device abstraction content.
Linked Issues check ⚠️ Warning The PR claims to close issue #222 but does not implement the cgroups v2 wrapper or workload presets specified in that issue; instead it delivers an unrelated FUSE filesystem for LLM interaction. Either implement the actual requirements from issue #222 (cgroups v2 wrapper, CLI commands, presets) or update the linked issues to reflect what was actually implemented.
Out of Scope Changes check ⚠️ Warning The entire changeset (FUSE filesystem implementation, LLM clients, session management) is out of scope for issue #222 which requires cgroups v2 resource management and workload presets, not LLM device abstraction. Clarify the scope: either implement the cgroups v2 wrapper as specified in #222 or unlink this PR from that issue and document its actual purpose separately.
Docstring Coverage ⚠️ Warning Docstring coverage is 30.61% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.

Actionable comments posted: 4

🧹 Nitpick comments (10)
test_llm_device.py (3)

1-11: Tests rely on private implementation details.

The tests in TestSessionFiles directly call private methods like _write_session_file and _get_session_file_content (Lines 141, 144, 149, 150, 152). This couples tests to implementation internals rather than the public FUSE interface (read/write), making them brittle to refactoring.

Consider using the public write() and read() methods instead, similar to TestLLMDevice.test_write_prompt_read_response.


117-123: File mode checks use magic numbers without explanation.

The bitmask checks 0o100000 and 0o40000 are not immediately obvious. Consider using the stat module constants for clarity:

+import stat
+
 def test_getattr_file(self):
     attrs = self.device.getattr("/claude/prompt")
-    self.assertTrue(attrs["st_mode"] & 0o100000)  # Regular file
+    self.assertTrue(stat.S_ISREG(attrs["st_mode"]))  # Regular file

 def test_getattr_directory(self):
     attrs = self.device.getattr("/claude")
-    self.assertTrue(attrs["st_mode"] & 0o40000)  # Directory
+    self.assertTrue(stat.S_ISDIR(attrs["st_mode"]))  # Directory

126-172: Missing error handling tests for session operations.

The TestSessionFiles class lacks tests for error conditions:

  • Writing to a non-existent session file type (e.g., /sessions/test/invalid)
  • Reading from a session that doesn't exist
  • Attempting operations that should raise FuseOSError
llm_device.py (7)

40-44: Missing fallback when neither fuse nor fusepy is available.

If both imports fail, the script will crash with an ImportError. Consider adding a fallback stub or clearer error message:

 try:
     from fuse import FUSE, FuseOSError, Operations
 except ImportError:
-    from fusepy import FUSE, FuseOSError, Operations
+    try:
+        from fusepy import FUSE, FuseOSError, Operations
+    except ImportError:
+        raise ImportError(
+            "Neither 'fuse' nor 'fusepy' package found. "
+            "Install with: pip install fusepy"
+        )

57-77: Unused config parameter in MockLLMClient.complete.

The config parameter is accepted but never used. Either remove it to match the actual behavior or implement config support for consistency with ClaudeLLMClient:

-    def complete(self, prompt: str, config: dict = None) -> str:
+    def complete(self, prompt: str, config: dict | None = None) -> str:
         self.call_count += 1
-        tokens = len(prompt.split()) + 20
+        config = config or {}
+        # Could honor max_tokens in mock for consistency
+        tokens = len(prompt.split()) + config.get("max_tokens", 20)

This also addresses the Ruff RUF013 hint about implicit Optional.


66-68: Remove extraneous f-string prefix.

Line 68 has an f-string with no placeholders, as flagged by static analysis:

         elif "what" in prompt.lower() and "time" in prompt.lower():
-            return f"I don't have access to real-time data, but I can help with other questions."
+            return "I don't have access to real-time data, but I can help with other questions."

107-118: Broad exception handling masks specific API errors.

Catching Exception silently converts all errors (network issues, rate limits, auth failures) into a generic error string. This makes debugging difficult and prevents appropriate error handling upstream:

         try:
             response = self.client.messages.create(
                 model=self.model,
                 max_tokens=max_tokens,
                 temperature=temperature,
                 messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
             )
             self.call_count += 1
             self.total_tokens += response.usage.input_tokens + response.usage.output_tokens
             return response.content[0].text
-        except Exception as e:
-            return f"[Error] API call failed: {e}"
+        except anthropic.APIConnectionError as e:
+            return f"[Error] Connection failed: {e}"
+        except anthropic.RateLimitError as e:
+            return f"[Error] Rate limited: {e}"
+        except anthropic.APIStatusError as e:
+            return f"[Error] API error ({e.status_code}): {e.message}"

240-258: Define constants for repeated path literals.

As flagged by SonarCloud, path strings like "/claude/prompt", "/claude/response", "/sessions/" are duplicated multiple times. Extract these to module-level constants:

# Path constants
PATH_CLAUDE_PROMPT = "/claude/prompt"
PATH_CLAUDE_RESPONSE = "/claude/response"
PATH_CLAUDE_CONFIG = "/claude/config"
PATH_CLAUDE_METRICS = "/claude/metrics"
PATH_SESSIONS = "/sessions"
PATH_SESSIONS_PREFIX = "/sessions/"
PATH_STATUS = "/status"

477-507: Session auto-creation may hide user errors.

_write_session_file auto-creates sessions if they don't exist (Line 487). This could mask typos in session names—writing to /sessions/tset/prompt (typo) silently creates a new session instead of failing. Consider requiring explicit session creation via mkdir:

         if session_name not in self.sessions:
-            self.sessions[session_name] = Session(name=session_name)
+            raise FuseOSError(errno.ENOENT)

183-195: Fallback to mock mode prints to stdout instead of stderr.

The info message about falling back to mock mode is printed to stdout, which could interfere with piped output. Use sys.stderr or logging:

             if not self.client.client:
-                print("[INFO] No API key found, using mock client")
+                print("[INFO] No API key found, using mock client", file=sys.stderr)
                 self.client = MockLLMClient()
                 self.use_mock = True

test_llm_device.py (1)

76-83: Test does not verify response content matches expected mock behavior.

The test writes a prompt and reads the response, but self.assertEqual(response.decode(), "4") assumes the mock always returns "4" for "What is 2+2?". This is correct based on the mock implementation, but consider adding a comment explaining this is testing the mock's deterministic behavior.

llm_device.py (1)

368-377: truncate always returns 0 regardless of path validity.

The method returns 0 for known paths but raises FuseOSError for unknown paths. However, for paths in self.files, it truncates before returning. This is correct, but the SonarCloud warning about "always returning the same value" is a false positive since the method also raises exceptions.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Implementation does not match PR objectives or linked issue requirements.

This PR claims to close Issue #222 which requires a cgroups v2 wrapper with:

  • Workload presets (inference, training, batch, interactive)
  • CLI commands (cortex limits create/apply/env/status)
  • GPU environment variable isolation
  • OOM score adjustment, CPU quota/weight/affinity

However, the actual implementation is a FUSE-based virtual filesystem for LLM interaction. The PR description mentions DeviceManager, Device base class, capability detection, and multi-device orchestration—none of which are present in this code.

This appears to be a bounty submission for the wrong issue, or the wrong code was submitted.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Race condition: lock does not cover all return paths.

The write method acquires a lock but the raise FuseOSError(errno.EACCES) at Line 366 is outside the with self.lock: block. If the path doesn't match any condition and falls through, the lock is released before the exception. More importantly, if path in self.files at Line 362, the code returns inside the lock, which is correct, but structurally confusing.

Consider restructuring to ensure consistent lock handling:

     def write(self, path, data, offset, fh):
         """Write to file (handles prompts)."""
         with self.lock:
             if path == "/claude/prompt":
                 # ... existing code ...
                 return len(data)
             elif path == "/claude/config":
                 # ... existing code ...
                 return len(data)
             elif path.startswith("/sessions/"):
                 return self._write_session_file(path, data)

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In llm_device.py around lines 336 to 366, the method acquires self.lock with a
with self.lock: block but the final raise FuseOSError(errno.EACCES) is outside
that block, producing inconsistent lock scope and a possible race; fix by
restructuring so the entire control flow (all condition checks, returns and the
final raise) occurs inside the with self.lock: block — i.e., move/indent the
raise into the with block (or expand the with to cover the whole method body) so
the lock is held for all return and exception paths.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Silent failure on invalid JSON config.

When json.loads fails, the error is silently ignored with pass. The user receives no feedback that their config update was malformed:

             elif path == "/claude/config":
                 try:
                     new_config = json.loads(data.decode("utf-8"))
                     self.config.update(new_config)
                 except json.JSONDecodeError:
-                    pass
+                    # Log or could raise FuseOSError(errno.EINVAL)
+                    pass  # TODO: Consider returning error to user
                 return len(data)

Consider whether silent failure is intentional or if users should receive feedback.

ignored causing silent failures; change the except block to log the decode error
with details (use existing logger on self or module logger) and do not update

foreground=args.foreground or True always evaluates to True.

The expression args.foreground or True will always be True since True is the fallback. If the intent is to default to foreground mode, just use True. If the intent is to allow background mode, fix the logic:

     FUSE(
         device,

Pull request overview

Critical Issue: This PR has a fundamental mismatch between its title/description and actual implementation. The PR claims to implement a "Device Abstraction Layer" for heterogeneous hardware (CPU, GPU, CUDA, ROCm, Metal, NPU, Cloud) but actually implements a FUSE filesystem (/dev/llm) that provides file-based access to LLM APIs (specifically Claude). This appears to be submitted for the wrong issue (#222 vs #223) or has a completely misleading description.

Actual Implementation: The code creates a FUSE-based virtual filesystem that allows shell scripts and Unix programs to interact with LLM APIs through file operations. Users can write prompts to files and read responses, with support for sessions and configuration.

Key Issues Identified

  • Critical mismatch: PR description describes hardware device abstraction but code implements API filesystem interface
  • Version issues: References non-existent Claude model "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
  • Concurrency bugs: Incomplete thread synchronization leading to race conditions
  • Security concerns: No input validation/sanitization before sending to API
  • Test coverage gaps: Missing tests for ClaudeLLMClient, error conditions, and several FUSE operations
  • Logic errors: Flawed condition in getattr and incorrect boolean expression in FUSE mount

The lock is only used in the write method but not in read or _get_file_content methods. This creates a race condition where responses could be read while they're being written, or metrics could be read while being updated. Consider protecting all access to shared state (prompts, responses, config, sessions) with the lock.

The condition if session_name in self.sessions or path not in self.file_attrs: on line 271 has problematic logic. The or path not in self.file_attrs part means this block will execute for ANY path not in file_attrs, not just valid session directories. This could cause incorrect behavior for invalid paths under /sessions/.

API keys are loaded from environment variables but there's no validation or sanitization of the key format. Consider adding basic validation to ensure the API key meets expected format requirements before attempting to use it, which could help catch configuration errors early.

User input from data.decode("utf-8") is passed directly to the LLM API without any validation or sanitization. Consider adding input validation (e.g., maximum length checks, character filtering) to prevent potential abuse or injection attacks through the filesystem interface.

The complete method signature differs between MockLLMClient and ClaudeLLMClient. The Mock version has config: dict = None while Claude has the same. However, the Mock client doesn't actually use the config parameter in its implementation, which could lead to unexpected behavior if code relies on config affecting mock responses. Consider either implementing config support in the mock or documenting that it's ignored.
