Calling `spspmm` twice gives `CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered`

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Running spspmm two times with the same inputs gives RuntimeError: CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered.

The following snippet shows the issue for me:

import torch
from torch_sparse import spspmm

# device = torch.device('cpu')  # This works
device = torch.device('cuda')  # This will error

# Make two simple sparse matrices
A_idx = torch.tensor([[0, 1], [0, 1]])
A_val = torch.tensor([1, 1]).float()

B_idx = torch.tensor([[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 1]])
B_val = torch.tensor([2, 3, 4]).float()

# Transfer to device
print(f'To {device}')
A_idx = A_idx.to(device)
A_val = A_val.to(device)
B_idx = B_idx.to(device)
B_val = B_val.to(device)

# Do matrix multiplies
print('spspmm 1')
spspmm(A_idx, A_val, B_idx, B_val, 2, 2, 2, coalesced=True)  # This works
print('spspmm 2')
spspmm(A_idx, A_val, B_idx, B_val, 2, 2, 2, coalesced=True)  # On CUDA, this errors

When I run the above code, I get the following error:

spspmm 1
spspmm 2

RuntimeError: CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered
CUDA kernel errors might be asynchronously reported at some other API call,so the stacktrace below might be incorrect.
For debugging consider passing CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1.

Sorry if this just me using the library wrongly! Is there something I should be doing in between calls to spspmm? Or any other way to fix it?

Anybody still working on this? Ran into the same issue whilst deploying Graph-UNET, which relies on spspmm. Could perhaps try and debug.

I believe I replaced the layer that made use of this function with another layer… Not much of a solution but worked in my situation.
