  • gates the swizzle on tensor_model_parallel_world_size() <= 2 in both places (falls back to StridedLayout for TP>=4). TP=1/2
    unchanged.
  • The two gates are factored into one helper should_use_cdna4_mx_scale_swizzle() so they can't drift — a mismatch between the weight-load layout and the kernel's swizzle_mx_scale= arg silently corrupts the scale tensor.
  • Performance: even after re-tuning every TP=4/8 hot-shape entry at padded N,K with the BLOCK_K>=256 constraint (so swizzle-on gets a fair shot), the strided layout still wins 23/28 cells in the standard sweep — up to +19% on decode-heavy 1K/1K. Swizzle-on only wins at the very-high-concurrency 8K/1K corner

Backward-compat check on vllm-rocm:nightly (aiter 0.1.13.post1) + this PR applied in-place, MI355X, amd/gpt-oss120b-w-mxfp4-a-fp8, random 1024/1024 ignore_eos:

TP swizzle path mc=1 mc=8
1 CDNA4_SCALE (TP<=2) 221 tok/s 1404 tok/s
8 None (TP>=4 gate) 316 tok/s 2065 tok/s

Both paths serve cleanly. aiter.ops.triton.moe_op_gemm_a8w4.moe_gemm_a8w4 on 0.1.13.post1 already has swizzle_mx_scale=None as the default, so the new None argument is a no-op API-wise — the PR is safe to land independent of aiter version.

The MXFP4 W4A16 weight-load path in oracle/mxfp4.py uses
shuffle_weight_a16w4 (is_guinterleave=True), which interleaves gate/up
columns within each weight tile. The CK/FlyDSL MoE kernels in aiter
must be told this via gate_mode=GateMode.INTERLEAVE so they decode the
gate/up packing correctly.

Without the explicit gate_mode, aiter defaults to SEPARATED and (since
ROCm/aiter#3123) dispatches the (SEPARATED + Swiglu + per_1x32 + fp4x2)
case to a path that returns garbage for shuffled weights or crashes
during CK2stages JIT for the unshuffled Quark variant
(amd/gpt-oss-20b-w-mxfp4-a-bf16). This was the root cause of ROCM-25517
(gpt-oss-120b W4A16 gsm8k acc = 0) and ROCM-25478 (gpt-oss-20b Quark
JIT crash).

Other paths are unaffected:
  - FP8 W8A8 (DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V3.2): shuffled with
    quark_ocp_mx.py:shuffle_weight(layout=(16,16)) — non-interleaved.
    use_mxfp4_w4a16 is False, default SEPARATED preserved.
  - MXFP4 W4A4 (amd/DeepSeek-R1-0528-MXFP4): shuffled via
    rocm_aiter_ops.shuffle_weights — non-interleaved. use_mxfp4_w4a16
    is False, default SEPARATED preserved.

The gate_mode kwarg was added to aiter.fused_moe in
ROCm/aiter#3123 (aiter>=0.1.14). To stay compatible with older aiter
shipping with vllm (e.g. aiter 0.1.13.post1 in the vllm-rocm:nightly
image), we probe the aiter signature and drop the kwarg when unsupported
— pre-vllm-project#3123 aiter tolerated the implicit SEPARATED default for
interleave-shuffled weights, so dropping the kwarg is safe there.
GateMode itself only exists on aiter>=0.1.14 and is imported under
try/except for the same reason.

Validation on MI355X (gfx950):
  vllm@main + aiter@main (6aeba41) openai/gpt-oss-120b W4A16 gsm8k:
    TP=1: 0.000 -> 0.905    TP=8: 0.000 -> 0.905
  vllm@main + aiter@main amd/gpt-oss-20b-w-mxfp4-a-bf16 TP=2 enforce-eager:
    CK2stages JIT crash -> serves cleanly
  vllm-rocm:nightly + aiter 0.1.13.post1 openai/gpt-oss-120b W4A16 gsm8k:
    TP=1: 0.910 (backward-compat — gate_mode kwarg silently dropped)
  vllm-rocm:v0.22.0 + aiter@main openai/gpt-oss-120b W4A16 gsm8k:
    TP=1: 0.895

amd/gpt-oss120b-w-mxfp4-a-fp8 W4A8 (this PR composes with vllm-project#44804):
  TP=8 mc=1=326, mc=8=2087, mc=32=6523, mc=64=11610 tok/s

Reference: sgl-project/sglang#25580 (sglang's
equivalent fix). Recommended by aiter maintainer (XiaobingZhang) on
ROCm/aiter#3586.
