Summary

The load/store affine-index path (convert_index and _convert_sympy_to_mlir_expr in PyTorchSimFrontend/mlir/mlir_codegen_backend.py) used to lower FloorDiv/ModularIndexing sub-expressions (view/reshape/transpose indices) into affine.apply maps with a constant divisor and a single free symbol.

This is superseded by axis-split's affine-only contract: axis_split.py strips FloorDiv/ModularIndexing from index expressions upstream at the Inductor scheduling layer (see docs/axis-split-scheduling.md), so MLIR codegen now only ever receives pure affine, constant-stride indices. The DMA-index path already asserts this.

Verification

A temporary tripwire (raise RuntimeError) placed at the entry of both floor/mod handlers (the ModularIndexing/// branches of convert_index, and the ModularIndexing/FloorDiv branches of _convert_sympy_to_mlir_expr) never fired across:

  • View/reshape/transpose suite: test_floormod_axis_split (group_norm c//(C/G), repeat mod, repeat_interleave floor), test_transpose2D, test_transpose3D, test_view3D_2D, test_cat
  • Broad sanity set: test_add, test_matmul, test_reduce, test_softmax, test_layernorm, test_batchnorm, test_conv2d

confirming the floor/mod codegen path is dead.

Change

Remove the floor/mod lowering branches. Mirroring the existing DMA-index assert, replace them with a clear NotImplementedError so any residual floor/mod that escapes axis-split fails loudly instead of being silently mis-lowered. The now-unused re import is dropped.

The full view/op test suite passes unchanged (allclose) after removal.

axis-split's affine-only contract (docs/axis-split-scheduling.md) linearizes
aligned FloorDiv/ModularIndexing into per-axis affine indices upstream, so the
load/store index reaching codegen is already pure affine. The convert_index
method (which lowered floor/mod view indices to affine.apply with a constant
divisor and a single free symbol) and the helper that guarded it are therefore
dead -- a tripwire at every floor/mod branch never fired across the view/op test
suite.

Remove convert_index entirely and inline its only live behaviour at the call
sites in _convert_sympy_to_mlir_expr and parse_index_list. A residual
FloorDiv/ModularIndexing now fails loudly via the whole-expression guard in each
of those functions (mirroring the DMA-index assert) instead of silently
mis-lowering. Also drop the assumption-stripping Symbol(str(...)) + expr.replace
round-trip in the affine-map builder: it only mattered when convert_index
transformed the term, and is now a verified no-op (indices and the affine string
depend only on symbol names). Drop the now-unused re import.

Verified: the full view/reshape/transpose suite (test_floormod_axis_split incl.
group_norm/repeat/repeat_interleave/mixed-radix/pixel_shuffle, transpose2D/3D,
view3D_2D, cat) plus add/matmul/reduce/softmax/layernorm/batchnorm pass
unchanged.
