/*
 * This file implements a variable fallback kernel for custom operators.
 * Since tensors always have the Autograd set, but custom operators
 * usually don't have a kernel registered for Autograd, the dispatcher
 * will call into this fallback kernel instead.
 * Note that this is not a correct autograd implementation. It will just
 * fallthrough to the custom operator implementation.
 * If you want a custom operator to work with autograd, you need to use
 * autograd::Function so that the custom operator implementation knows how to
 * do autograd.
 * Note also that ops from native_functions.yaml register their own variable
 * kernels, so this is never called for them.

// To save on binary size, some of the mobile configs don't include the
// autograd kernels for built-in operators (VariableTypeEverything.cpp).
// For the mobile build:
// - we don't care about having a nice autograd fallback that warns if
// an operator has incorrect autograd support. If you're running
// a custom operator on mobile then it's already too late for us to warn
// or error on it.
// - for perf reasons, we do not want mobile to go through autograd_fallback
// for all operators (the boxing/unboxing adds overhead).
// As a result, on mobile we set the fallback to the fallthrough.
