net: report the real connect errno

[alii]

The problem

The errno of a failed connect(2) did not reach the code that reports it in one piece.

• uSockets returned NULL for a dial that failed outright and left the reason in thread-local errno. The caller in Rust read errno again after the C code had closed the socket, freed the poll, and on the cached resolver path taken a lock and freed the request. bsd.c had per-site errno saves and restores to keep that working; the listen and udp constructors in the same file return their error through an out-parameter instead.
• On Windows a failed non-blocking connect is detected with a recv() probe. The probe fails with WSAENOTCONN whatever the reason, so the connect error callback got ENOTCONN for a refused port and for a timed out one alike. The real error is in SO_ERROR.
• The mapping from the OS code to a SystemErrno lived inline in Bun.connect, next to Bun.connect's own rule for which codes its connectError keeps. Every other client of the callback (fetch, WebSocket, postgres, mysql, redis) would have to copy that mapping to report the code.

What changed

• packages/bun-usockets/src/context.c: on Windows, when the recv() probe fails, the connect error is read from SO_ERROR. A probe error other than WSAENOTCONN (WSAECONNRESET) is kept, and WSAENOTCONN with no SO_ERROR is reported as WSAECONNREFUSED.
• bsd_create_connect_socket and bsd_create_connect_socket_unix take an int *error, like bsd_create_listen_socket. Every failure exit sets it to a non-zero code before any cleanup: socket(), bind(), connect(), and building the unix address (ENOENT for an empty path, ENAMETOOLONG for one sun_path cannot hold). us_socket_group_connect and us_socket_group_connect_unix pass it through, and the errno saves and restores in bsd.c and context.c are gone.
• src/uws_sys: ConnectResult::Failed { errno } and ConnectError::FailedToOpenSocket { errno } carry that value as a SystemErrno, mapped with bun_errno::connect_errno right where the out-param is read. The trampoline that dispatches the connect error callback maps the OS code the same way, so both exits of the crate report in one numbering and no caller maps again; a failed lookup keeps its resolver code, which the handler reads through dns_error, and that is why the callback parameter stays a c_int.
• packages/bun-usockets: a hostname dial keeps the error of the last address that failed (last_candidate_error, from the out-param of a dial that failed outright or from SO_ERROR through after_open). When every address is exhausted, both places that used to fill in ECONNREFUSED report that error instead, and fall back to LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED only when no address reported one. Several addresses failing differently is last-wins, as net: report the real connect errno instead of fabricated ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED #37093 proposes. The DNS cache entry is invalidated for any connect failure that is not the caller aborting, since a real error in that slot is as stale-address-suspect as a refusal.
• packages/bun-usockets: the codes uSockets fills in itself for a connect it ended or gave up on are LIBUS_ECONNABORTED and LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED, WSAECONNABORTED and WSAECONNREFUSED on Windows and the errno values elsewhere, so on Windows every connect error code is a WSA or Win32 code. Before, the CRT constants were used there and mapped to ECONNREFUSED only because their values are absent from the Win32 table.
• src/errno/lib.rs: connect_errno(raw) turns the OS code (SO_ERROR, or a WSA or Win32 code on Windows) into a SystemErrno. connect_errno_code(errno) is Bun.connect's rule for the .code of its connectError: ENOENT, ENOTSOCK, EACCES, EINVAL, ECONNRESET, EADDRINUSE and EADDRNOTAVAIL are reported as they are, every other code as ECONNREFUSED. That rule is unchanged, and this function is now the only place it exists. Unit tests pin both helpers.
• src/sys/lib.rs: unix_connect_errno holds the two unix path rules: ENOENT for a path that does not exist where Winsock says WSAECONNREFUSED, and EINVAL for a path sun_path cannot hold, as libuv reports it.
• src/runtime/socket: Bun.connect's synchronous failure path reads the errno from the FailedToOpenSocket it got back instead of calling last_errno or WSAGetLastError after the fact, and hands it to handle_connect_error like a connect that failed later. Its own list of four codes for that path is gone; connect_errno_code is the only place the .code is decided, for a synchronous and an asynchronous failure alike.
• A "close" fault rule is accepted by the socket fault layer. It runs after the real close in bsd_close_socket and sets errno the way a failed close would, so a caller that reads errno after its cleanup can be caught by a test.

Visible changes

• Bun.connect's connectError .code is unchanged for every code the tests pinned before, with one addition: a TCP dial that fails inside connect(2) with ECONNRESET now reports ECONNRESET, as one that fails later already did; before it reported ECONNREFUSED. On its own this PR changes nothing else a Bun.connect or node:net user sees; the redis client, in a follow-up stacked on this branch, is the first caller that prints the code.
• A first dial to a hostname the resolver has not cached now reports the last address's own error when every address failed. With connect_errno_code unchanged, that is visible for the codes it keeps (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EACCES, EINVAL, ECONNRESET); ETIMEDOUT, EHOSTUNREACH and ENETUNREACH still come out as ECONNREFUSED by that rule, which net: report the real connect errno instead of fabricated ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED #37093 changes.
• node:net on Windows: ECONNREFUSED and ECONNRESET now come from SO_ERROR instead of the recv() probe, with the same values as before. EADDRINUSE for a localPort in use is a synchronous bind() failure and never reaches the probe; it is pinned by "localPort in use reports EADDRINUSE".

Tests

Two new tests in test/js/node/net/net-syscall-fault.test.ts fail on main and pass here. Both arm a connect fault and a close fault together:

• "the errno of a failed connect survives the close that follows it": connect fails with EINVAL, the close that follows leaves EBADF. Expected EINVAL. On main the code is read from errno after the close and comes out as ECONNREFUSED.
• "the errno of a failed unix connect survives the close that follows it": connect fails with ECONNRESET, close leaves EBADF. Expected ECONNRESET. On main it is EBADF.
• "a hostname whose every address fails reports the last address's error" (socket-syscall-fault.test.ts): a child dials localhost with a connect fault of EINVAL armed for every address. Expected EINVAL; on the previous head it was ECONNREFUSED. It runs on the first, uncached dial, so it takes the deferred resolver path on every platform whatever localhost resolves to.
• The table in test/js/bun/net/socket-syscall-fault.test.ts has a new row: a TCP dial that fails inside connect(2) with ECONNRESET reports ECONNRESET. On main it is ECONNREFUSED. An asynchronous ECONNRESET at connect time is not something a POSIX host produces (a reset after connect completes is a read error), so the asynchronous side of the same table is pinned by the refused connect test only.

On main the fault setter also rejects "close", so both fail there before the assertion.

test/js/bun/net/socket-syscall-fault.test.ts adds a table over Bun.connect: every code connect_errno_code keeps for a unix path or a local bind, two errnos outside the table reported as ECONNREFUSED, a missing unix path and an injected EADDRNOTAVAIL each followed by a close that reports EINTR (ECONNREFUSED on main), and a real refused connect with the platform's errno number. test/js/bun/util/socket-fault-injection.test.ts pins that "close" is accepted with action errno or none and rejected with short and zero.

No test pins a Windows SO_ERROR value other than a refused port. A code such as WSAETIMEDOUT or WSAEHOSTUNREACH needs a black-holed address, and there is no fault hook for SO_ERROR, so that is not something CI can produce on demand. The unit tests in src/errno/lib.rs pin that WSAETIMEDOUT and WSAEHOSTUNREACH map to ETIMEDOUT and EHOSTUNREACH.

Existing tests that cover the same paths, run locally: test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts ("a synchronous unix connect failure rejects the promise and fires connectError"), test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts ("should handle connection error (unix)" and the Windows-only "connect() error codes on Windows" block), socket-dns-error.test.ts, node-net-server.test.ts, server.spec.ts, and test/js/valkey. cargo check passes for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu; the C is compiled only by the full build, which was run on macOS.

• net: report the real connect errno instead of fabricated ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED #37093 wants ETIMEDOUT, EHOSTUNREACH and ENETUNREACH to reach Bun.connect's .code, with a repro and a test that fails on main. This PR does not change that policy. connect_errno_code is now the one place it is decided, for the synchronous and the asynchronous path, so net: report the real connect errno instead of fabricated ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED #37093's change to it becomes three entries in that list. Its last_candidate_error plumbing (both exhaustion sites in context.c, start_connections, the cache invalidation in socket.c) is here now, reading each candidate's error from the out-param, so net: report the real connect errno instead of fabricated ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED #37093 shrinks to the policy change and its loop.c hunk. It is sequenced after this PR.
• The uSockets Rust rewrite, Rewrite the uSockets core in Rust #34037, deletes every C file this PR touches. Today it fills in ECONNREFUSED and ECONNABORTED again in src/usockets/connecting.rs and reads last_os_error() in neterr.rs. To keep this behaviour it has to port: the error out-param through the group connect (no read of the OS error after the failed socket is closed), the last address's real error at both exhaustion sites, SO_ERROR after the recv() probe on Windows, the LIBUS_ECONNABORTED and LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED constants in the platform's numbering, and the "close" fault rule so net-syscall-fault and socket-syscall-fault keep passing.
• fetch, postgres and mysql still ignore the code the callback delivers. fetch's fixed "Unable to connect" message is the obvious next caller.
• net/resolver: report EMFILE as EMFILE instead of ECONNREFUSED/MODULE_NOT_FOUND/code-less listen error #36140 (EMFILE) touches bsd.c and context.c too.

Status: head 1557aed. alii rebased the branch onto main (1919fa9); on top of it 1557aed answers the last review round: the two connect socket creators take the socket() error from bsd_create_socket out-param, and connect_errno reports a negative value as ECONNREFUSED on every platform (unit tested). The other two notes (carrying the errno into http::Error, a fired counter for fault rules) are answered on the threads as follow-ups. Verified locally with the debug build: connect error block in socket-syscall-fault (4), net-syscall-fault (23), cargo test -p bun_errno (6), cargo check for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. All review threads are resolved. Waiting for CI.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR propagates native socket errors through uSockets and Rust wrappers, normalizes platform-specific connection codes, preserves errors across close failures, and adds close fault-injection coverage.

Socket connection error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Native error capture and API wiring packages/bun-usockets/src/...	Connection APIs now accept error output pointers and preserve socket, bind, connect, address, poll, and platform completion errors.
FFI error transport src/uws_sys/SocketGroup.rs, src/uws_sys/socket.rs, src/runtime/error.rs, src/uws_sys/vtable.rs	TCP and Unix connection failures now carry errno values through FFI results and runtime errors.
Platform errno normalization src/errno/lib.rs, src/sys/lib.rs, src/runtime/socket/Listener.rs, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs	Shared helpers normalize connection errors, preserve selected codes, apply refusal fallbacks, and map missing Windows Unix-socket paths.
Close fault injection and validation packages/bun-usockets/src/internal/fault_inject.h, src/uws_sys/lib.rs, src/js/internal-for-testing.ts, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs, test/js/bun/net/socket-syscall-fault.test.ts, test/js/bun/util/socket-fault-injection.test.ts, test/js/node/net/net-syscall-fault.test.ts	Close fault injection now runs after the real close. Tests verify error preservation and close syscall validation.

Pushed 4ee2506 here. 52123d8 resolved src/sys/lib.rs against an older copy of the file: it put back the Bun__unlink wrapper that #29587 removed (no callers are left) and undid the a+ fix from #39355, so fs.test.ts "append with flag a+" failed on both Windows lanes in the build of #39542 (100757), which is stacked on this branch. The file is main's again plus unix_connect_errno. Verified on a Windows x64 debug build of this branch: the four a+ tests pass and the "connect() error codes on Windows" block in node-net.test.ts still passes. I rebased #39542 onto this so its CI picks it up. Squash or drop the commit as you like.

[claude]

The two stray src/sys/lib.rs hunks flagged earlier (O_APPEND else-if regression, orphan Bun__unlink) are gone in 4ee2506 — that file now only adds unix_connect_errno. No issues found this pass; deferring to a human because this is a cross-platform connect-errno refactor across the C/Rust boundary with a Windows-only behavioral change (SO_ERROR replaces the recv-probe error) that Windows CI needs to confirm.

What was reviewed:

• Traced every handle_connect_error caller: all non-on_connect_error sites already pass SystemErrno-numbered values, so dropping the inline >= 10000 WSA mapping is a no-op for them.
• connect_errno_code's 7-entry whitelist and <&'static str>::from output match the deleted inline chain byte-for-byte.
• ConnectError { errno } is captured via last_os_error() (shares TLS with WSASetLastError) but not yet read — the PR names the redis follow-up as the consumer.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Seven files: errno preservation across close(2) in bsd.c (POSIX + the Linux long-path dirfd cleanup), a Windows SO_ERROR read in context.c replacing the WSAENOTCONN the recv() probe reported, two new helpers connect_errno/connect_errno_code in errno/lib.rs, a unix_connect_errno extraction in sys/lib.rs, and socket_body.rs/Listener.rs rewired onto those helpers. ConnectError::FailedToOpenSocket now carries the errno the failed dial left.

Previous findings resolved

My prior run flagged two unrelated hunks in src/sys/lib.rs (an O_APPEND access-mask regression and a dead Bun__unlink export). Commit 4ee2506 dropped both; the current diff for that file is only the unix_connect_errno helper.

Behavior preservation

I traced the WSA→SystemErrno mapping move from handle_connect_error to on_connect_error. Every other caller of handle_connect_error — connect_finish in Listener.rs (via bun_sys::windows::WSAGetLastError(), which already returns a mapped Option<E>), WindowsNamedPipeContext (passes err.errno / SystemErrno::ENOENT), and the two UpgradedDuplex sites (pass SystemErrno::ECONNREFUSED) — already supplies SystemErrno-numbered values, so the removed >= 10000 gate was a no-op for them. The DNS-error branch still ignores errno. connect_errno_code reproduces the exact 7-code whitelist and the strum-derived string matches the old BunString::static_("E...") chain. unix_connect_errno is a verbatim extraction of the previous inline check.

Security risks

None. This is error-code plumbing; no new inputs are parsed, no auth/crypto touched.

Level of scrutiny / why not approving

This is not mechanical: it moves error-numbering conversion across a C/Rust FFI boundary on three platforms, changes what Windows reports for a failed non-blocking connect (SO_ERROR vs the recv probe), and adds an as-yet-unread field on ConnectError for a stacked follow-up. The Windows behavioral change is only pinned by Windows-gated tests, and the > 0 vs the old >= 10000 gate in connect_errno_raw is subtle enough (it now runs the Win32 table on the C-level ECONNABORTED/ECONNREFUSED constants uSockets can pass from close_all/after_resolve) that someone familiar with the Windows errno landscape should confirm it. CI build #100811 is in flight.

[claude]

The two issues I flagged earlier (the a+/O_APPEND regression and the stray Bun__unlink in src/sys/lib.rs) are fixed in 4ee2506 — that file's diff is now just unix_connect_errno. I re-reviewed and found no bugs. Because this refactors the errno-numbering contract across handle_connect_error callers and changes Windows connect-error reporting in uSockets (SO_ERROR vs the recv probe), a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Traced every NewSocket::handle_connect_error caller (Listener.rs, WindowsNamedPipeContext.rs, socket_body.rs:4371/4482) — all pass SystemErrno-numbered values, so removing the inline WSA→SystemErrno mapping is safe.
• Checked that connect_errno running on the DNS-error path is harmless (result is ignored; debug_assert!(errno >= 0) in the else arm still holds).
• Verified the bsd.c errno-restore hunks match the existing macOS pattern and the connect_errno_code KEPT list is byte-identical to the deleted inline whitelist.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes uSockets losing the real connect(2) errno and centralizes the OS-code→SystemErrno mapping. Changes span 7 files: bsd.c (restore errno across close() on POSIX + the Linux long-path dirfd close), context.c (Windows: read SO_ERROR after the recv probe fails, map WSAENOTCONN→WSAECONNREFUSED), src/errno/lib.rs (new connect_errno/connect_errno_code helpers + unit tests), src/sys/lib.rs (new unix_connect_errno), src/uws_sys/socket.rs (ConnectError::FailedToOpenSocket now carries an errno), and socket_body.rs/Listener.rs (call the helpers instead of inline mapping).

Prior findings resolved

My previous review flagged two issues in src/sys/lib.rs that were the result of a stale merge: an O_APPEND regression breaking a+ mode on Windows, and a dead Bun__unlink export. Commit 4ee2506 restored the file to main + unix_connect_errno only. Both inline comments are resolved and the current diff for that file is clean.

Security risks

None identified. This is error-code plumbing; no new input parsing, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. The us_socket_get_error call in context.c reads SO_ERROR from a socket the process already owns.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The C changes are small and follow the existing macOS errno-save pattern in the same file. The Rust side, however, moves the WSA→SystemErrno mapping out of handle_connect_error and into on_connect_error, changing the function's input contract (callers must now pass SystemErrno-numbered values). I traced all six call sites and they satisfy the new contract, but this is exactly the kind of refactor where a missed caller silently produces wrong .code values on Windows only. The Windows SO_ERROR change in context.c also changes user-visible behavior for node:net (EADDRINUSE/ECONNRESET/ECONNREFUSED now come from a different source), pinned by the Windows-only tests the PR body names.

Other factors

• The PR is the base of a stack (#39542 redis reads these signatures), and #37093/#36140 touch overlapping lines — a maintainer should be aware of the merge order.
• Unit tests cover connect_errno/connect_errno_code on both platforms; runtime behavior is pinned by existing tests in test/js/bun/net/ and test/js/node/net/.
• connect_errno_code's KEPT array is byte-identical to the deleted inline whitelist, and <&'static str>::from(errno_enum) produces the same strings as the old if-else chain (strum::IntoStaticStr on SystemErrno).

Given the cross-platform surface and the changed contract on handle_connect_error, this should get a human sign-off rather than auto-approval.

1642-1668: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the stale "mirrors handle_connect_error's whitelist" comment.

This PR adds bun_errno::connect_errno_code, which is the whitelist handle_connect_error now uses. It keeps 7 codes: ENOENT, ENOTSOCK, EACCES, EINVAL, ECONNRESET, EADDRINUSE, EADDRNOTAVAIL. This TCP branch keeps only 4 of them (EADDRINUSE, EADDRNOTAVAIL, EACCES, EINVAL).

The comment says this "Mirrors handle_connect_error's whitelist," but it does not. A synchronous TCP dial failure that carries ENOENT, ENOTSOCK, or ECONNRESET gets collapsed to ECONNREFUSED here before handle_connect_error runs, while the same code from the async on_connect_error callback path would be preserved. Update the comment to state this is an intentionally narrower TCP-specific subset, or call bun_errno::connect_errno_code here directly to remove the duplicated, drifting whitelist.

✏️ Proposed fix: reuse the shared helper instead of duplicating the whitelist

-                // A synchronous TCP connect failure is almost always the local
-                // bind() (localAddress/localPort) failing - preserve the errnos a
-                // bind() meaningfully produces (EADDRINUSE: port busy,
-                // EADDRNOTAVAIL: address not local, EACCES: privileged port,
-                // EINVAL: address family mismatch); everything else stays
-                // ECONNREFUSED. Mirrors handle_connect_error's whitelist.
-                if os_errno == bun_sys::SystemErrno::EADDRINUSE as c_int
-                    || os_errno == bun_sys::SystemErrno::EADDRNOTAVAIL as c_int
-                    || os_errno == bun_sys::SystemErrno::EACCES as c_int
-                    || os_errno == bun_sys::SystemErrno::EINVAL as c_int
-                {
-                    os_errno
-                } else {
-                    bun_sys::SystemErrno::ECONNREFUSED as c_int
-                }
+                // A synchronous TCP connect failure is almost always the local

Both earlier nits are addressed in e4a9505 — bsd_last_error_or_refused is now one definition in bsd.c declared in bsd.h and called from context.c, and the test comment now reads "stores it in *error before bsd_close_socket runs". The earlier stray src/sys/lib.rs hunks (O_APPEND, Bun__unlink) are also gone. This run found nothing new; given the scope (C/Rust FFI signature change on the connect path, Windows SO_ERROR probe rewrite that CI can only partially exercise), a human look is still worthwhile.

Checked: every failure exit in bsd_create_connect_socket/_unix and both us_poll_start_rc branches write *error before cleanup; us_socket_group_connect's deferred-DNS path returns non-null so the uninitialized errno local is never read; on_connecting_error gates connect_errno on dns_error != 0 so resolver codes pass through untouched; connect_errno_code preserves the exact 7-code whitelist the old inline chain had.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR threads the OS error of a failed connect(2) from uSockets to Rust by value instead of via thread-local errno. It changes C function signatures (bsd_create_connect_socket, bsd_create_connect_socket_unix, us_socket_group_connect, us_socket_group_connect_unix) to take an int *error out-parameter, updates the Rust FFI declarations and wrappers to carry that value in ConnectResult::Failed { errno } / ConnectError::FailedToOpenSocket { errno }, centralizes the OS→SystemErrno mapping in bun_errno::connect_errno (applied once in the vtable trampoline so every handler receives SystemErrno numbering), and moves Bun.connect's 7-code whitelist into connect_errno_code. On Windows it also replaces the recv() probe's WSAENOTCONN with the real SO_ERROR. A new US_FAULT_CLOSE hook lets tests prove the connect errno survives the cleanup close.

Security risks

None identified. This is error-code plumbing; no new inputs are parsed and no security gates are touched. The unix_connect_errno helper does an exists() check on a path the caller already supplied — same as the code it replaces, just moved.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is not a mechanical change: it rewires error propagation across a C/Rust FFI boundary on the connect path that every network client (Bun.connect, node:net, fetch, WebSocket, postgres/mysql/redis) goes through, with distinct behavior on three platforms. The Windows SO_ERROR change is only pinned by unit tests (the PR description states no integration test can produce WSAETIMEDOUT/WSAEHOSTUNREACH in CI). The __attribute__((nonnull)) indices on us_socket_group_connect/_unix were updated and look correct (positions 10, 11 and 8), but a miscount there is UB the compiler will not catch.

Other factors

All four findings from my earlier passes have been addressed by subsequent commits (4ee2506 dropped the stray src/sys/lib.rs hunks; e4a9505 unified the helper and fixed the stale test comment). The current bug-hunting pass found nothing. Test coverage is thorough for the POSIX paths (fault-injected connect+close errno survival, the full whitelist table, a real refused connect) and the mapping helpers have Rust unit tests for both platforms. What remains is the inherent risk of a cross-platform FFI signature change on a hot path — the kind of thing a maintainer familiar with the uSockets connect flow and the Windows lane should sign off on.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. My two earlier nits (the duplicate last_error_or_refused helper and the stale test comment) were addressed in e4a9505, and the later commits (bf94152, b2dd1f2, 405976e) look correct. Given the scope — C↔Rust FFI signature changes on the connect path, per-platform errno numbering (LIBUS_ECONN*), the vtable trampoline now mapping codes for every handler, and the widened DNS-cache invalidation rule in us_connecting_socket_close — a human look is still worthwhile before merge.

What was reviewed:

• Traced the int *error out-param through every failure exit in bsd_create_connect_socket{,_unix} and both us_socket_group_connect* — each writes before cleanup.
• Checked the on_connect_error/on_connecting_error trampolines: the DNS-error branch skips connect_errno so resolver codes pass through untouched.
• Verified connect_errno_code preserves the same seven-code whitelist the deleted inline block in handle_connect_error had; unix_connect_errno preserves the Windows ENOENT/ENAMETOOLONG rules from the deleted Listener.rs block.
• last_candidate_error is zero-initialized via us_calloc and written at all four failure sites (two in start_connections, one in after_open, plus the poll-start branch).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR threads the real connect(2) errno from uSockets through to Bun.connect's error object, replacing the previous read-errno-after-cleanup approach with an explicit int *error out-parameter. It touches 20 files: the uSockets C library (bsd.c, context.c, socket.c, headers, libusockets.h), the Rust FFI layer (uws_sys crate), the runtime socket layer (Listener.rs, socket_body.rs, error.rs), two new shared helpers in bun_errno and bun_sys, the fault-injection layer, and three test files.

Since my prior review (which left two nits, both addressed in e4a9505), three further commits landed: LIBUS_ECONNABORTED/LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED constants in the platform's numbering (bf94152), unifying the sync/async .code rule via connect_errno_code and mapping OS codes in the vtable trampolines (b2dd1f2), and the last_candidate_error plumbing so a hostname whose every address fails reports the last address's error (405976e).

Security risks

None identified. This is error-reporting plumbing; no new user input reaches parsers, no auth/crypto/permission surface is touched. The fault-injection close hook is compiled-out in release builds and only sets errno after the real close.

Level of scrutiny

High. The changes span:

• FFI ABI changes: us_socket_group_connect and us_socket_group_connect_unix gain a trailing int *error parameter, with matching __attribute__((nonnull)) updates and Rust extern declarations. A mismatch would be a silent miscompile.
• Cross-platform numbering: on Windows, uSockets now fills in WSA codes (WSAECONNABORTED, WSAECONNREFUSED) instead of CRT constants, and the SO_ERROR read replaces the recv-probe error. connect_errno routes those through the Win32 table.
• Wide-reaching trampoline change: vtable.rs now maps the error code for every on_connect_error/on_connecting_error handler (fetch, WebSocket, postgres, mysql, redis), not just Bun.connect. The PR description says those callers currently ignore the code, but this is the kind of change a maintainer should confirm.
• Policy change: us_connecting_socket_close now invalidates the DNS cache entry for any non-abort connect failure, where before it invalidated only on ECONNREFUSED. That is a deliberate widening called out in the description, but changes cache behaviour for e.g. ETIMEDOUT on a live host.

Other factors

The PR is well-tested (unit tests in errno/lib.rs, three fault-injection test files, existing socket/net tests cited as run locally) and thoroughly described. All CodeRabbit threads are resolved. robobun reports local verification and cross-target cargo check. No bugs were found in this run. However, per the review guidelines this is neither small nor mechanical — it changes a public C API signature, adds fields to us_connecting_socket_t, and reworks error flow across three languages and two platforms — so it should get a maintainer's sign-off rather than an automated approval.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. My earlier inline feedback (the stray src/sys/lib.rs hunks, the duplicated last_error_or_refused helper, and the stale test comment) has all been addressed. Because this is a 20-file change that reworks connect-error propagation across the C↔Rust FFI boundary — new int *error out-params on us_socket_group_connect{,_unix}, a new last_candidate_error field on us_connecting_socket_t, a broadened DNS-cache-invalidation predicate in socket.c, and Windows-only SO_ERROR probing — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Every failure exit of bsd_create_connect_socket{,_unix} writes *error before bsd_close_socket, and the attribute((nonnull)) indices on the public C signatures match the new parameter positions.
• on_connect_error in vtable.rs maps the OS code unconditionally (no dns_error on a plain us_socket_t), while on_connecting_error guards on get_dns_error() so resolver codes pass through untouched — both paths still land in connect_errno_code's allowlist, which is byte-for-byte the old handle_connect_error allowlist.
• last_candidate_error is zeroed by us_calloc and every write site records a non-zero code, so the ?: fallbacks at both exhaustion sites are sound.
• The Bun__addrinfo_freeRequest predicate change (invalidate on any non-abort error, not just ECONNREFUSED) was checked against the PR's stated intent.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR replaces thread-local-errno propagation for failed connect(2) with an explicit int *error out-parameter threaded from bsd_create_connect_socket{,_unix} up through us_socket_group_connect{,_unix} into the Rust uws_sys wrappers, and centralizes the OS-code→SystemErrno mapping in bun_errno::connect_errno (applied at both crate exits: SocketGroup::connect{,_unix} and the vtable trampolines). It also: adds last_candidate_error to us_connecting_socket_t so a hostname dial whose every address fails reports the last address's real error; on Windows, reads SO_ERROR after the recv() probe so WSAENOTCONN no longer masks the real reason; introduces LIBUS_ECONNABORTED/LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED so uSockets' own filled-in codes are in the platform's numbering; broadens the DNS-cache-invalidation predicate in socket.c; and adds a close fault-injection rule so tests can prove the errno survives the cleanup close. 20 files across packages/bun-usockets/ (C), src/uws_sys/, src/errno/, src/sys/, src/runtime/socket/, src/runtime/error.rs, and three test files.

Security risks

None identified. This is error-code plumbing on failure paths; no new parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. The new out-param is annotated __attribute__((nonnull)) and every C caller passes a stack local.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is production-critical networking code shared by Bun.connect, node:net, fetch, WebSocket, and every SQL/redis client. It changes an FFI ABI (two extra int* parameters), adds a struct field, and has divergent Windows/POSIX branches that only CI can fully exercise. The DNS-cache-invalidation predicate change (c->error == ECONNREFUSED → c->error && c->error != LIBUS_ECONNABORTED) is a deliberate policy shift the description justifies, but it widens when cached addresses are dropped.

Other factors

• My two prior rounds of inline feedback (accidental O_APPEND revert + dead Bun__unlink export; duplicated bsd_last_error_or_refused; stale test comment) were all addressed in follow-up commits and the threads are resolved.
• All six CodeRabbit threads are resolved (either withdrawn or answered by robobun).
• The scope grew after the last review round (commit 1919fa9 added the last_candidate_error plumbing that robobun had initially deferred to #37093), so the current head includes material no reviewer has looked at yet.
• Tests are thorough (fault-injection tables, unit tests for both connect_errno helpers, a subprocess-isolated hostname test), but the Windows SO_ERROR path and the C compilation are only verified by CI per the description.
• The PR description explicitly interacts with #37093 and the uSockets Rust rewrite (#34037), which is coordination a maintainer should confirm.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it's a substantial cross-language change — new int *error out-params threaded through the uSockets C API and matching Rust FFI declarations, Windows-specific SO_ERROR probing, a new last_candidate_error field on us_connecting_socket_t, and a widened DNS-cache-invalidation policy in socket.c — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Every failure exit of bsd_create_connect_socket/_unix writes *error before cleanup; the __attribute__((nonnull)) indices on the updated libusockets.h prototypes match the new parameter positions.
• us_connecting_socket_t is us_calloc-allocated, so last_candidate_error starts at 0 and the ?: fallbacks to LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED are reachable.
• connect_errno rejects negative/zero raw codes on both platforms (addressed in 1557aed); connect_errno_code preserves the pre-existing whitelist so Bun.connect's .code is unchanged except for the documented ECONNRESET-on-sync-TCP case.
• The on_connecting_error trampoline gates connect_errno on get_dns_error() == 0, so resolver codes pass through untouched.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR replaces after-the-fact thread-local errno/WSAGetLastError() reads with an explicit int *error out-parameter threaded from bsd_create_connect_socket/bsd_create_connect_socket_unix up through us_socket_group_connect/_unix and into the Rust uws_sys bindings. It touches 20 files: 7 in packages/bun-usockets/ (C), 10 in src/ (Rust FFI, errno crate, runtime socket layer), and 3 test files. Beyond the plumbing, it adds Windows SO_ERROR reading after the recv() probe in us_internal_socket_after_open, introduces LIBUS_ECONNABORTED/LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED platform-numbered constants, adds a last_candidate_error field to us_connecting_socket_t for happy-eyeballs error reporting, and centralizes the errno→.code policy in two new bun_errno helpers with unit tests.

Security risks

None identified. The change is error-code plumbing on failure paths; no new user-controlled input reaches parsing, allocation sizing, or path construction. The unix_connect_errno helper calls exists(path) on Windows only when the errno is already ECONNREFUSED, matching the pre-existing behavior that was inline in Listener.rs.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is production networking code with per-platform #ifdef branches (Windows, macOS, Linux), FFI signature changes that must agree between C headers and Rust extern blocks, and a struct layout change. The Windows SO_ERROR path and the LIBUS_ECONN* constant switch cannot be exercised by the POSIX-only fault-injection tests; the PR description acknowledges this and points to unit tests plus an existing Windows-only node-net.test.ts block. The DNS cache invalidation change in socket.c (from c->error == ECONNREFUSED to c->error && c->error != LIBUS_ECONNABORTED) is a deliberate policy widening that affects retry behavior for all hostname dials.

Other factors

The PR has been through two rounds of CodeRabbit review with all findings resolved (the bsd_create_socket out-param and negative-raw-code rejection were both addressed in 1557aed). Test coverage is thorough for the POSIX paths via fault injection, and the description is unusually precise about what is and isn't pinned. The change is well-structured and the author has clearly traced every path. That said, the combination of FFI signature changes across two languages, three platforms, a struct field addition, and a cache-invalidation policy change places this well outside the "simple/mechanical" threshold for auto-approval — a maintainer familiar with the uSockets rewrite (#34037) and the stacked #37093 should confirm the sequencing and the Windows behavior.

[robobun]

Note for the rebase: #39615 (merged as 6c076d4) added LIBUS_ECONNRESET to the same #ifdef _WIN32 block of internal.h that this PR adds LIBUS_ECONNABORTED and LIBUS_ECONNREFUSED to, so that hunk conflicts in a trivial way (keep all three). It also added the close-path sibling of connect_errno: read_error_from_close_code in src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs, which maps the close code through SystemErrno::init on Windows with ECONNRESET as the fallback. If you want one home for these mappers, that function can move next to connect_errno in src/errno/lib.rs.
