Description

Hello,we meet an issue during using deepspeed pipeline engine. When we set the activation_checkpoint_interval=0 in the PipelineModule class, the structure works. But when we set it >0, the system will report
'RuntimeError: element 0 of tensors does not require grad and does not have a grad_fn'. I have checked the input_tensors of element 0, it looks like a hidden with (btach_size,seq_len,hidden_size)
How should I debug and solve the problem?
