🐛 Describe the bug

Description

When torch.batch_norm is called with one of running_mean or running_var as a tensor and the other as None, an internal assertion Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false is triggered on CUDA-enabled GPUs. However, this error is not triggered when the same code is run on the CPU.

Ideally, the behavior should be consistent across devices, meaning either both CPU and GPU should raise this specific error.

To Reproduce:

The following code demonstrates the issue. It tests two scenarios:

  1. running_mean is a Tensor, running_var is None.
  2. running_mean is None, running_var is a Tensor.
import torch

print(f"PyTorch Version: {torch.__version__}")

# Common parameters for torch.batch_norm
weight_param = None
bias_param = None
is_training_param = True # Error occurs with True or False
momentum_param = 0.1
eps_param = 1e-5
cudnn_enabled_param = True # Also occurs with False on GPU

# --- Scenario 1: running_mean is Tensor, running_var is None ---
print("\n--- Scenario 1: running_mean is Tensor, running_var is None ---")
# Input tensor
input_tensor_shape = (3, 4, 5) # N, C, D*
num_features = input_tensor_shape[1]

# CPU
print("  CPU (Scenario 1):")
try:
    input_tensor_cpu = torch.randn(input_tensor_shape)
    running_mean_param_cpu = torch.randn(num_features)
    running_var_param_cpu = None
    
    torch.batch_norm(
        input_tensor_cpu,
        weight_param,
        bias_param,
        running_mean_param_cpu,
        running_var_param_cpu,
        is_training_param,
        momentum_param,
        eps_param,
        cudnn_enabled_param
    )
    print("    CPU: Error not triggered.")
except RuntimeError as e:
    print(f"    CPU Error: {e}")
    if "Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false" in str(e):
        print("    CPU: Successfully triggered the target error (unexpected based on current behavior).")

# GPU
if torch.cuda.is_available():
    print("  GPU (Scenario 1):")
    try:
        input_tensor_gpu = torch.randn(input_tensor_shape).cuda()
        running_mean_param_gpu = torch.randn(num_features).cuda()
        running_var_param_gpu = None
        
        torch.batch_norm(
            input_tensor_gpu,
            weight_param,
            bias_param,
            running_mean_param_gpu,
            running_var_param_gpu,
            is_training_param,
            momentum_param,
            eps_param,
            cudnn_enabled_param
        )
        print("    GPU: Error not triggered (unexpected for this specific error message).")
    except RuntimeError as e:
        print(f"    GPU Error: {e}")
        if "Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false" in str(e):
            print("    GPU: Successfully triggered the target error.")
else:
    print("  GPU (Scenario 1): CUDA not available, skipping GPU test.")

# --- Scenario 2: running_mean is None, running_var is Tensor ---
print("\n--- Scenario 2: running_mean is None, running_var is Tensor ---")

Expected behavior:

The error RuntimeError: Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false. should either be raised consistently on both CPU and GPU

Actual behavior ):

PyTorch Version: 2.6.0+cu124

--- Scenario 1: running_mean is Tensor, running_var is None ---
CPU (Scenario 1):
CPU: Error not triggered.
GPU (Scenario 1):
GPU Error: Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false. (Could this error message be improved? If so, please report an enhancement request to PyTorch.)
GPU: Successfully triggered the target error.

--- Scenario 2: running_mean is None, running_var is Tensor ---
CPU (Scenario 2):
CPU: Error not triggered.
GPU (Scenario 2):
GPU Error: Expected has_running_mean == has_running_var to be true, but got false. (Could this error message be improved? If so, please report an enhancement request to PyTorch.)
GPU: Successfully triggered the target error.
