    :func:`~torch.autograd.function._ContextMethodMixin.save_for_backward` but

    The ``on_get_saved_tensors`` method will be called when the backward function
    of this op attempts to retrieve the saved tensor from context (this includes
    :func: `torch.Tensor.backward()` or :func: `torch.autograd.grad()`. It takes the
    as input the return value of the ``on_save_for_backward``, and is meant to return
    an identical copy of the tensor being saved by ``on_save_for_backward`` in terms of
    size, device and element values.
