* sycl: size mul_mat_id staging buffers by routed rows
Previously src1_contiguous/dst_contiguous in ggml_sycl_mul_mat_id were
sized to ggml_nelements(src1/dst), which over-allocates when ne12 > 1
and can fail with UR_RESULT_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY on Level Zero for
MoE models (notably with --cpu-moe). Size them by the actual number of
routed rows (ids->ne[1] * n_ids) instead.
* sycl: add bf16 mul_mat fast path via DNNL
When src0 is BF16 (commonly the case for lm_head / output.weight), the
existing f16 path is skipped because bf16 isn't covered, and the f32
fallback dequantizes the entire src0 slab to f32 in a single pool alloc
(row_diff*ne00 floats). For large-vocab models this can reach several
GB and fail with UR_RESULT_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY on Level Zero.
Add a bf16xbf16 -> f32 DNNL matmul fast path that uses the bf16 storage
in place and only materializes a small src1 bf16 conversion buffer. bf16
matmul accumulates in f32, so it's correct even when the op requests
GGML_PREC_F32 (as lm_head does).
- gemm.hpp: map bfloat16 to dnnl::memory::data_type::bf16.
- convert.{hpp,cpp}: expose ggml_get_to_bf16_sycl for f32/f16/bf16 -> bf16.
- ggml-sycl.cpp: take the bf16 path early in ggml_sycl_op_mul_mat_sycl
when DNNL and GGML_SYCL_HAS_BF16 are both available.
* [SYCL] Fix Q8_0 reorder: add missing dequantize path for GEMM
The Q8_0 reorder optimization (#21527) was missing a reorder-aware
dequantizer for the GEMM code path used during prompt processing.
After token generation reordered Q8_0 weights (via DMMV/MMVQ), the
next prompt processing pass would read them with the standard
dequantizer, producing garbage output.
Add dequantize_block_q8_0_reorder() and wire it into both
ggml_get_to_fp16_sycl() and ggml_get_to_fp32_sycl(), matching the
pattern already used by Q4_0, Q4_K, and Q6_K.
Fixes#21589
AI (Claude) was used to assist with root cause investigation and
writing the kernel code. All code was human-reviewed and tested
on real hardware.
* SYCL: fix reorder crash when device memory is full
The reorder optimization allocates a temporary buffer the full size of
the weight tensor on the device. When VRAM is nearly full (large models
on a single GPU), this allocation fails and the subsequent memcpy crashes
on a NULL pointer.
Fix: try device allocation first, fall back to host memory if device
memory is full. The reorder kernel still works correctly reading from
host memory over PCIe. This is slower for the one-time reorder (~21 t/s
vs ~38 t/s on Intel Arc Pro B70), but the optimization is preserved for
all subsequent inference. If both device and host allocation fail, skip
the reorder and fall back to the unoptimized kernel path.
Also fixes a bug where opt_for_reorder() marked tensors as reordered
even when the reorder was skipped due to allocation failure. This caused
DMMV/MMVQ kernels to read the original AoS data as if it were SoA,
producing garbage output or NaN results.
Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB) with Q8_0, Q4_K_M models. Coding was
AI-assisted (Claude), reviewed and tested on hardware by a human.
Fixes#20478
* SYCL: add RAII temp buffer class + macro guard for host fallback
Replace sycl_ext_malloc_with_fallback/sycl_ext_free_fallback free
functions with sycl_reorder_temp_buffer RAII class. The host_fallback
bool is now a private member, and cleanup happens automatically at
scope exit.
Add GGML_SYCL_HOST_MEM_FALLBACK cmake option (default ON) to guard
the host memory fallback code path. Device access to host memory
requires Linux kernel 6.8+ (Ubuntu 26.04+); users on older kernels
can set -DGGML_SYCL_HOST_MEM_FALLBACK=OFF to disable it.
Addresses arthw's review on PR #21638.

* SYCL: add reorder-aware DMMV dequantizers for Q4_K and Q6_K
Q4_K and Q6_K had reorder support for MMVQ and GEMM paths but not
DMMV. When the DMMV path encountered reordered data it would abort.
Add DMMV kernels that read from the SOA reorder layout for both
types. Same math as the non-reorder versions, different memory
access pattern.

* sycl : add flash-attn support for head size 512
This patch extends the SYCL Flash Attention implementation to support head sizes (DKQ/DV) of 512.
Changes:
- Added DKQ/DV 512 cases to both tile and vector Flash Attention kernels.
- Updated kernel selection logic to allow vector kernels for head sizes up to 512 (previously 256).
- Removed unused/redundant AMD and RDNA-specific configuration functions in `fattn-tile.hpp`.
- Refactored `ggml_backend_sycl_buffer_init_tensor` to use a switch statement for clearer tensor extra buffer initialization.
- Added necessary template instances for the new 512 head size across various quantization types.
* remove defunct mxfp4 reorder from setting buffer type
Extend the existing reorder optimization to Q8_0. The reorder
separates scale factors from weight data for coalesced memory
access -- was implemented for Q4_0/Q4_K/Q6_K but Q8_0 was missing.
On Arc Pro B70 (Xe2), Q8_0 tg goes from 4.88 to 15.24 t/s (3.1x)
on Qwen3.5-27B. BW utilization: 21% -> 66%.
The key fix beyond the kernels: Q8_0 was missing from the type
check in ggml_backend_sycl_buffer_init_tensor() that allocates
the extra struct carrying the reorder flag -- so the optimization
was silently skipped.
AI (Claude) was used to assist with root cause investigation and
writing the kernel code. All code was human-reviewed and tested
on real hardware.

* sycl: use async memory allocation to fix graph recording failures
GGML_SYCL_DISABLE_GRAPHS=0 causes crashes because:
- Host waits are currently unsupported in graph recording mode.
- SYCL malloc / free calls are unsupported in graph recording mode.
The following changes are made to fix SYCL graph functionality:
- When graphs are enabled, use the SYCL async memory extension for temp
buffers which is supported with SYCL graphs.
- For compiler versions that do not support this extension, skip
graphs with the affected op.
- Switch from USM shared to device memory as the async extension
currently just supports device allocations.

* vulkan: sort graph to allow more parallel execution
Add a backend proc to allow the backend to modify the graph. The
vulkan implementation looks at which nodes depend on each other
and greedily reorders them to group together nodes that don't
depend on each other. It only reorders the nodes, doesn't change
the contents of any of them.
With #15489, this reduces the number of synchronizations needed.
* call optimize_graph per-split
The original implementation unconditionally returned true for this operation, leading to a failure when the tensor's first dimension (ne[0]) was not a multiple of WARP_SIZE. This caused an GGML_ASSERT(ncols % WARP_SIZE == 0) failure in ggml-sycl/norm.cpp.
This change updates the ggml_backend_sycl_device_supports_op check to correctly return true for GGML_OP_RMS_NORM only when the first dimension of the tensor is a multiple of WARP_SIZE, ensuring the operation can be performed without error.
