 * `BASE_IMAGE`: specifies the base image used when running ``docker build``, specifically the PyTorch on ROCm base image. We have tested ROCm 5.7 and ROCm 6.0. The default is `rocm/pytorch:rocm6.0_ubuntu20.04_py3.9_pytorch_2.1.1`
 * `FX_GFX_ARCHS`: specifies the GFX architecture that is used to build flash-attention, for example, `gfx90a;gfx942` for MI200 and MI300. The default is `gfx90a;gfx942`
 * `FA_BRANCH`: specifies the branch used to build the flash-attention in `ROCmSoftwarePlatform's flash-attention repo <https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/flash-attention>`_. The default is `3d2b6f5`
+* `BUILD_FA`: specifies whether to build flash-attention. For `Radeon RX 7900 series (gfx1100) <https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/index.html>`_, this should be set to 0 before flash-attention supports this target.
 
 Their values can be passed in when running ``docker build`` with ``--build-arg`` options.
