    Note [Context parallelism load balance algorithm for causal masking]
    =====================
    This explanation uses an example to illustrate the CP algorithm with causal
    masking.

    Consider a scenario where the sequence length of q, k, and v is 4 (e.g.,
    q = (q0, q1, q2, q3)), and there are two ranks. For simplicity, we will discuss
    only q and k, as v follows the same pattern as k.

    The diagram below represents a complete QK^T operation without parallelism.
    The `****` entries indicate that the result is not required due to causal
    masking (e.g., q0k1 is marked as `****`).

    +----+------------------------+
    |    |  k0    k1   k2     k3  |
    +----+------------------------+
    | q0 | q0k0, ****, ****, **** |
    | q1 | q1k0, q1k1, ****, **** |
    | q2 | q2k0, q2k1, q2k2, **** |
    | q3 | q3k0, q3k1, q3k2, q3k3 |
    +----+------------------------+

    ### No Load Balance:

    In this scenario, each rank owns a local chunk of q, k, and v, with each chunk
    containing two elements. Rank0 is responsible for managing (q0, q1) and (k0, k1),
    while rank1 manages (q2, q3) and (k2, k3).

    First Iteration: Both rank0 and rank1 perform SDPA with their local qkv pairs.
    Causal masking is enabled as some results are not required (e.g., q0k1).

    Second Iteration: Local queries remain the same, but local kv pairs are exchanged.
    Rank0 now has (q0, q1) and (k2, k3); rank1 has (q2, q3) and (k0, k1). Rank0 performs
    no computation, while rank1 computes locally without causal masking since all results
    (q2k0, q2k1, q3k0, q3k1) are needed.

    ### Round-robin Load Balance:

    In this setup, each rank owns two local chunks of q, k, and v, with each chunk
    containing one element. Rank0 manages (q0, q3) and (k0, k3); Rank1 manages (q1, q2)
    and (k1, k2). Although the local chunks are not consecutive, they are concatenated to
    enable SDPA to be performed in a single call for each step. Consequently, the chunk()
    function may be required to prepare the correct q, k, and v configurations.

    First Iteration: Both ranks perform SDPA with their local qkv pairs, similar to the
    no-load-balance case. This iteration corresponds to the `if` of the
    (`if, `elif`, `else`) in the implemementation.

    Second Iteration: Rank0 now has (q0, q3) and (k1, k2); rank1 has (q1, q2) and
    (k0, k3). For rank0, no computation is needed for q0. However, computations for
    q3k1 and q3k2 are required, so only q3 is used for SDPA. This corresponds to the
    `else` of the (`if`, `elif`, `else`) in the implemementation.
    For rank1, k0 is not needed for q1 and q2, so only k3 is used for SDPA. This
    corresponds to the `elif` of (`if`, `elif`, `else`) in the implementation.

    """
    ``distribute_function`` is an experimental API that allows users to "distribute"
    the inputs and outputs of a function. Similar to ``distribute_module``, this API
    installs hooks to the ``fn`` to convert the inputs and outputs. There are two
    major differences between ``distribute_function`` and ``distribute_module``.
    First, a function does not have parammeters and buffers, as a result,
    ``distribute_function`` itself won't convert any parameters/buffers but simply
    install the input and output hooks.  The tensor conversion will happen in the hooks.
    Another difference is an nn.Module subclass can have several instances and each
    instance be fed into ``distribute_module`` independently with affecting other
    instance. On the other hand, function is a singleton object. So if a function
    is distributed by ``distribute_function`` all subsequent calls to the function
    will invoke the installed hooks.

    Args:
        fn (Callable): the function to be distributed.
        fn_module (types.ModuleType): the Python module that the function is declared.
            e.g., if ``fn`` is ``torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention``,
            ``fn_module`` is ``torch.nn.functional``.
        device_mesh (:class:`DeviceMesh`): the device mesh that will be used by the
            input and output hooks to distribute the tensors.
        input_fn (Optioinal[Callable]): the hook to distribute or convert the input
            arguments of ``fn``.
        output_fn (Optioinal[Callable]): the hook to distribute or convert the output
            arguments of ``fn``.

    This will work for nn.MultiHeadedAttention and custom attention layers that
    call F.scaled_dotproduct_attention with a simliar signature.

    This expects the `forward` method consumes either:

    * a single tensor for self attention
    * one argument for each of: query, key, value

    This currently only supports ring attention and the
    SDPBackend.FLASH_ATTENTION backend. See sdpa_kernel.

    Non-flash attention backends will result in incorrect results.

    ``context_parallel`` is an experimental API to enable context

    one, 2) shard ``buffers`` along the sequence dimension and each rank will
    preserve the corresponding shard according ``mesh``.

            on the sequence dimension. Examples are input batch, labels and
            positional embedding buffers. These buffers must be sharded along
            the sequence dimension to ensure the accuracy. The sharding will
            happen in-place, the buffer's shape will change within the context.
            The buffers will be restored after the context finishes.
            ``no_restore_buffers`` can be used to specify which buffers don't
            need to be restored. Note that ``buffers`` should not contain any
