"""
[Note: Fully Sharded Module]
We define the "fully sharded module" to be the original ``nn.Module`` that owns
a ``FlatParamHandle``. It is the *single* module logically responsible for the
*single* unshard/reshard pair for the handle's ``FlatParameter`` for a given
forward or backward pass. The fully sharded module should be passed to the
``FlatParamHandle`` constructor.

For the wrapper code path:
- The ``FullyShardedDataParallel`` module wrapping the fully sharded module
runs the unshard/reshard on behalf of the fully sharded module by overriding
``nn.Module.forward``.
- The fully sharded module is exactly the module passed to the
``FullyShardedDataParallel`` constructor's ``module`` argument.

For the non-wrapper code path:
- Hooks registered on the fully sharded module run the unshard/reshard.
- The fully sharded module may either be the direct argument to ``fully_shard``
or a submodule chosen by the provided wrapping policy.

    """
    This is the flat parameter used by :class:`FullyShardedDataParallel`.

    It is comprised of one or more original parameters, which are flattened and
    concatenated to construct the flat parameter.

    Under the current design, this parameter logically represents both the
    unsharded and sharded flat parameter, and its data changes storages
    dynamically.
        - In the :class:`FullyShardedDataParallel` constructor, the parameter
        is initialized as unsharded and then sharded in-place.
        - At runtime, the parameter is lazily (re)-initialized. The sharded
        parameter data is saved in ``self._local_shard``, and a new ``Tensor``
        ``self._full_param_padded`` is created, which is the all-gather
        destination and owns the unsharded parameter storage thereafter. (See
        :meth:`FlatParamHandle.init_flat_param_attributes`.)
        - Throughout runtime, the parameter data changes storages as needed,
        e.g. to the sharded flat parameter, low precision sharded flat
        parameter, or the unsharded flat parameter.

    NOTE: Since ``use_orig_params=True`` supports intra-``FlatParameter``
    padding, we have two versions of the per-parameter numels, one that
    includes the padding (``_numels_with_padding``) and one that does not
    (``_numels``). The former may have length longer than the other data
    structures, while the latter has the same length as the number of actual
    original parameters like the other per-parameter data structures.

    NOTE: This is not a real class; instead, you will always get a Parameter
    back out if you try to create one of these.  This is similar to the trick
    we implemented for Parameter to get it to work with subclasses; this
    is primarily so that FlatParameter supports combination with FakeTensor.

    Attributes:
        _unpadded_unsharded_size (torch.Size): Unsharded flat parameter's size
            without right-hand-side padding for divisibility by the world size.
            For ``use_orig_params=True``, this includes alignment padding.
        _padded_unsharded_size (torch.Size): Unsharded flat parameter's size
            with right-hand-side padding for divisibility by the world size.
            For ``use_orig_params=True``, this includes alignment padding. This
            is only set for sharded strategies since they require padding for
            the all-gather.
        _sharded_size (torch.Size): Sharded flat parameter's size with padding.
            This is also set for ``NO_SHARD``, in which case it is the same as
            the unsharded sizes. (We omit "padded" because there is no
            analogous unpadded one.)

        _num_params (int): Number of original parameters flattened into this
            flat parameter. This is the length of the per-parameter data
            structures.
        _param_infos (Tuple[ParamInfo, ...]): Each parameter's parameter info
            entry; see :class:`ParamInfo` for details.
        _shapes (Tuple[torch.Size, ...]): Each parameter's original shape.
        _fqns (Tuple[str, ...]): Each parameter's fully-qualified name (FQN)
            prefixed from the ``_fully_sharded_module``. The names are
            guaranteed to be unique in the subtree rooted at that module.
        _param_extensions (Tuple[Optional[Any], ...]): Each parameter's
            extension (i.e. some per-parameter state) used to customize
            pre-flatten and post-unflatten behavior or ``None``. This is
            experimental, and users should not depend on its existence in the
            future.
        _numels_with_padding (Tuple[int, ...]): Each parameter's numel
            including entries for the padding. This is used to construct views
            into the flat parameter via ``torch.split()``. This may have length
            longer than ``_num_params``.
        _numels (Tuple[int, ...]): Each parameter's numel excluding entries for
            padding. This has length equal to ``_num_params``.
        _shard_param_infos (Tuple[_ShardParamInfo, ...]): Each parameter's
            shard parameter info; see :class:`_ShardParamInfo` for details.
        _shared_param_infos (Tuple[SharedParamInfo, ...]): Shared parameter
            info entries; see :class:`SharedParamInfo` for details.
        _modules (Set[nn.Module]): Modules that contain some original parameter
            that is flattened into the flat parameter.

        _shard_numel_padded (int): Numel padded for this rank's sharded flat
            parameter.
        _local_shard (Tensor): Sharded flat parameter with padding if using a
            sharded strategy. If using ``NO_SHARD``, then this is the unpadded
            unsharded flat parameter, and there is no notion of a sharded flat
            parameter or padded unsharded flat parameter.
        _full_param_padded (Tensor): Unsharded flat parameter with padding.
            This is not defined for ``NO_SHARD``. When using mixed precision
            for parameters, this has the low precision.
        _full_prec_full_param_padded (Tensor): Full precision unsharded flat
            parameter with padding. This is used for unsharding outside of
            computation when using mixed precision for parameters. This is
            never defined for ``NO_SHARD``.
        _post_backward_hook_handle (RemovableHandle):
            Flat parameter's post-backward hook handle. (Compile only)
        _post_backward_hook_state (Tuple[AccumulateGrad, RemovableHandle]):
            Flat parameter's :class:`AccumulateGrad` object and post-backward
            hook handle. (Eager only)
        _mp_shard (Tensor): Low precision sharded flat parameter with padding.
            This is only defined when parameter mixed precision is enabled. For
            ``NO_SHARD``, this is used for computation.
        _cpu_grad (Tensor): Sharded gradient with padding stored on CPU.
            This is only defined when offloading parameters is enabled.
        _saved_grad_shard (Tensor): Sharded gradient with padding from previous
            iterations for gradient accumulation without :meth:`no_sync`.

        _params (Optional[List[nn.Parameter]]): If ``use_orig_params=True``,
            then each original parameter variable; otherwise, ``None``. This
            does not include any padding tensors.
        _shared_params (Optional[List[nn.Parameter]]): The original shared
            parameter variables if ``use_orig_params=True`` and ``None``
            otherwise.
        _tensors (Optional[List[Optional[Tensor]]]): This saves the ``Tensor``
            views created in the forward and tracked by autograd when
            ``use_orig_params=True`` and is ``None`` otherwise. This is to
            preserve those ``Tensor`` variables for the backward to ensure that
            the ``FlatParameter`` 's ``AccumulateGrad`` object does not change
            in which case the post-backward hook does not run. This is relevant
            for cases like reentrant activation checkpointing.
        _is_grad_none_mask (Optional[List[bool]]): If ``use_orig_params=True``,
            a mask over the original parameters' gradients indicating if it is
            logically ``None`` or not; otherwise, ``None``. This does not
            include entries for padding. This mask is needed because only some
            of the parameters may have ``None`` gradient, in which case the
            flat gradient must be non-``None`` and must use zeros to
            approximate those original ``None`` gradients. This mask informs
            FSDP to set the original parameter gradients to ``None`` (instead
            of zeros) as needed.
