Pad should be smaller than or equal to half of kernel size

1

torch.nn.functional.avg_pool2d make error.

RuntimeError: pad should be smaller than or equal to half of kernel size, but got padW = 5, padH = 5, kW = 9, kH = 9

However, this is intended usecase.

I don’t know why pytorch’s implementation chose assert padW <= kW//2 and padH <= kH // 2 instead of assert padW < kW and padH < kH.

There is an inconvenience in that padding for input must be performed before avgpool2d.

I’m asking if it’s an inevitable choice for pytorch’s optimization or if it’s a bug.
Or is the problem solved in the latest pytorch version?
