I guess there is some outdated logic in update_slots as well, because there is a similar loop there.

The only problem I see in update_slots is when the batch size is smaller than the number of slots, in which case tokens are added to the batch anyway, which could be out-of-bounds.

llama.cpp/examples/server/server.cpp

Line 2002 in 06943a6

llama_batch_add(batch, slot.sampled, system_tokens.size() + slot_npast, { slot.id + 1 }, true);

When the batch size is bigger than the number of slots, it does not seem to have the same problem as the system prompt, because there is already never more than n_batch tokens added to a batch:

llama.cpp/examples/server/server.cpp

Lines 2243 to 2254 in 06943a6

// add prompt tokens for processing in the current batch
// TODO: the self-extend stuff here is a mess - simplify and/or abstract it somehow
for (; slot.n_past < slot.n_prompt_tokens && batch.n_tokens < n_batch; ++slot.n_past) {
if (slot.ga_n != 1) {
while (slot_npast >= ga_i + ga_w) {
const int bd = (ga_w/ga_n)*(ga_n - 1);
slot_npast -= bd;
ga_i += ga_w/ga_n;
}
}
llama_batch_add(batch, prompt_tokens[slot.n_past], system_tokens.size() + slot_npast, { slot.id + 1 }, false);

So yes, this loop:

llama.cpp/examples/server/server.cpp

Line 2313 in 06943a6

for (int32_t i = 0; i < batch.n_tokens; i += n_batch) {

might be a bit outdated, but I think it's still relevant for the error handling logic:

llama.cpp/examples/server/server.cpp

Lines 2375 to 2376 in 06943a6

// retry with half the batch size to try to find a free slot in the KV cache
n_batch /= 2;

From the above I think what could be fixed is parallel generation with small batch sizes:
