Summary:
Part of the stack that de-dups NCCLX's two all-to-all entry points down to the
upstream-named ncclAlltoAll. See the base diff for the full rationale.

Swaps the last remaining ncclAllToAll callers — 12 call sites across 6 test files:

  • tests/AllToAllTest.cc (4) — the correctness fixture plus the three
    Invalid{Sendbuf,Recvbuf,InPlace} cases
  • tests/LazyConnectTest.cc (4)
  • tests/MultiStreamTest.cc (1)
  • tests/CommDumpTest.cc (1)
  • colltrace/tests/MapperTraceDistTest.cc (1)
  • colltrace/tests/ProxyTraceDistTest.cc (1)

Symbol swap only. File names, fixture class names, test names, and the
#ifdef NCCL_ALLTOALL_SUPPORTED guards are all left as-is — renaming
AllToAllTest.cc and friends is out of scope for this stack.

AllToAllTest.{InvalidSendbuf,InvalidRecvbuf,InvalidInPlace} are the regression net
for the CudaPtrCheck and in-place-rejection logic that the base diff moved onto
ncclAlltoAll; they still assert ncclInvalidArgument and are unmodified apart from
the symbol.

Two tests worth calling out because they observe the dispatch path rather than just
the result:

  • ProxyTraceTest.QueryFinishedAllToAll pins NCCL_ALLTOALL_ALGO::orig and asserts
    collInfo.coll == ncclFuncSendRecv plus nProxyOps == numRemoteRanks * 2 * nChannels. These should still hold: the upstream path's p2pTaskAppend sets
    func = ncclFuncSend/Recv exactly as baseSend/baseRecv did, and the proxy
    trace keys off func, not the new collAPI field
    (enqueue.cc:1046 -> ProxyTraceFunc.cc:18).
  • MapperTraceTest.CtranAllToAll pins NCCL_ALLTOALL_ALGO::ctran, so it returns
    through the CTRAN branch and never reaches the changed fallback.

After this diff no caller of ncclAllToAll remains in fbcode; the next diff deletes
the symbol.

Summary:

NCCLX ships two all-to-all entry points with identical signatures but different
implementations, sitting ~230 lines apart in the same file:

- `ncclAlltoAll` (lowercase `t`, `collectives.cc:117`) — the upstream NVIDIA API,
  added in NCCL 2.28. Dispatches straight to `ncclEnqueueCheck(ncclFuncAlltoAll)`.
  No CTRAN, no argument validation.
- `ncclAllToAll` (capital `T`, `collectives.cc:346`) — Meta-created before upstream
  had an all-to-all. Has the CTRAN switch plus argument checks, and falls back to a
  hand-rolled grouped `baseSend`/`baseRecv` loop.

This is the first diff in a stack that de-dups the two down to `ncclAlltoAll`. It
brings `ncclAlltoAll` up to parity so it is a drop-in replacement, without touching
`ncclAllToAll` yet — both entry points remain fully functional after this diff, so
nothing is broken at any point in the stack.

Grafted onto `ncclAlltoAll`, mirroring how `ncclAllGather` (`collectives.cc:93`)
already layers CTRAN on top of the upstream baseline:
- `count == 0` early-out
- `SetCudaDevRAII`
- `CudaPtrCheck` on `sendbuff` and `recvbuff`
- in-place (`sendbuff == recvbuff`) rejection with `ncclInvalidArgument`
- the `NCCL_ALLTOALL_ALGO` / `ctranAllToAllSupport` / `ctranAllToAll` dispatch

The non-CTRAN fallback stays on the upstream `ncclEnqueueCheck(ncclFuncAlltoAll)`
path rather than adopting the Meta send/recv loop. These are closer than they look:
`taskAppend` (`enqueue.cc:3044-3051`) already decomposes `ncclFuncAlltoAll` into the
same `2 * nRanks` P2P send/recv tasks the Meta loop builds by hand — it never becomes
a `ncclTaskColl` and never reaches a device kernel. Staying on the upstream path also
propagates `collAPI = ncclFuncAlltoAll` to the net plugin (already whitelisted at
`net.cc:218`), emits one `AlltoAll` NVTX range instead of `2N` `Send`/`Recv` ranges,
and keeps divergence from upstream small for future rebases.

Applied identically to `v2_29` and `v2_30`; the two files are byte-identical here.

Summary:

Part of the stack that de-dups NCCLX's two all-to-all entry points down to the
upstream-named `ncclAlltoAll`. See the base diff for the full rationale.

`DefaultNcclxApi::allToAll` is a straight pass-through to the raw NCCL symbol, so
this is a one-line swap from the Meta-created `ncclAllToAll` to `ncclAlltoAll`. The
signatures are identical (6 args, same per-rank `count` semantics), and the earlier
diff in this stack already gave `ncclAlltoAll` the CTRAN dispatch and the argument
validation, so behavior is preserved.

Scope note: only the NCCL symbol changes. The C++ wrapper method name
`DefaultNcclxApi::allToAll` and its `INcclxApi` declaration are left alone, so
`TorchCommNCCLX::all_to_all_single` (`TorchCommNCCLX.cpp:1567`) needs no edit.

The sibling RCCL backends (`comms/torchcomms/rccl`, `comms/torchcomms/rcclx`) are
deliberately untouched — they call AMD RCCL's own `ncclAllToAll`, a different symbol
from a different header, which RCCL already marks `__attribute__((deprecated))` in
favor of its own `ncclAlltoAll`. Aligning those is a separate change.

`ncclAllToAll` still exists and still works after this diff — it is deleted at the
top of the stack, once every caller has moved.
