Beyond the inline findings, I also verified the load-bearing assumption that us_socket_resume re-adds a parked fd after us_poll_stop: us_poll_change (epoll_kqueue.c:728) already falls back from EPOLL_CTL_MOD → ENOENT to us_poll_start_rc, the same path the sibling paused-hangup deferral relies on. On kqueue, us_poll_stop is not called here, so the existing kqueue_change in us_poll_change covers resume.
Extended reasoning...
Checked that the new epoll parking (us_poll_stop + poll_type sync) exactly mirrors the existing hangup deferral a few lines above, and that the resume path it depends on — us_socket_resume → us_poll_change → ENOENT fallback to us_poll_start_rc — is already in place for that sibling code. The kqueue arm skips parking and relies on the paused read knote being EV_CLEAR, which matches kqueue_change's handling of a socket poll. This is core event-loop dispatch with platform-gated branches, so a human look is still warranted; the inline nits stand on their own.

I don't think the opt-in flag is the right abstraction here — the distinction it draws (user pause() vs. flow-control pause) doesn't exist in node, and the fix should remove state from us_socket_t rather than add another bit.
The premise of the opt-in is off. The PR keeps plain Bun.Socket/node:net on "close at once with ECONNRESET, discard unread data" because socket.test.ts (#39610) pins it. But that isn't node's behavior. Linux, node 26.3 vs bun 1.4.0 — peer writes 64 KB, then 32 KB more (which stays in the kernel because the handle is read-stopped), then RSTs; the server socket is paused and resumes at 1.5 s:
--- node
before resume: bytesRead= 65536 readableLength= 65536
error ECONNRESET total data delivered before error = 98304
--- bun 1.4.0
error ECONNRESET total data delivered before error = 0 (at 411ms, while still paused)
With no resume at all, node reports nothing for the RST (libuv drops a watcher with no interest out of epoll). So node:net in Bun has the same tail-loss bug this PR fixes for fetch only, and the "a user pause may never resume, so report the reset now" behavior the flag preserves is something our own tests introduced in #39600/#39610, not compat. There is one correct behavior for every paused socket, so nothing per-socket needs to select it.
Suggested shape. Follow libuv's model in us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll: HUP/ERR are only "drain now" hints for a socket that currently has read interest, and everything user-visible is derived from recv() returning 0 (FIN → on_end) or -1 (errno → error close):
- reading (
!is_paused && !read_eof) and(eof || error)→ the read loop already drains to 0/-1 and handles both outcomes inside the loop. - not reading and
(eof || error)→ park (us_poll_stopon epoll since HUP/ERR are unmaskable; nothing needed on kqueue).resume()re-adds and (1) runs. us_socket_is_shut_down(s) && read_fin→ clean close, unchanged.
That collapses the existing special-case arms (eof_deferrable && is_paused, "collected while paused but resumed earlier in this batch", eof && error && !read_fin, the SO_ERROR close) plus the two added here into one rule, drops the need for defer_reset_while_paused, and lets the kqueue dual-mode paused read knote from #39610 go (it only exists so a paused socket can see the RST). The src/http/lib.rs change becomes unnecessary and #39846's test passes as-is; the two "while still paused" tests flip to "data, then ECONNRESET, after resume".
I'll push that onto this branch.
|
Agreed, that is the better shape. Your node trace settles the premise: the flag preserved a contract our own tests introduced, not node behavior. My mixed-version bisect points the same way: the 1.3.14 client drained eagerly and never lost the tail. Two landmines from this branch worth keeping in view for the rework:
test/regression/issue/39846.test.ts and the 2000-iteration script from the issue reproduce the fetch tail loss deterministically if you want a quick check on the rework. Standing by until your push lands. |

I reviewed this PR again after the follow-up commits — both earlier inline concerns are addressed (the second "resumed-in-batch" arm now mirrors the eof-deferral sibling, and the test's cleanup is in a try/finally), and the comment-cop flags are resolved. No new issues found. Given this touches the core us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll error path with platform-specific kernel semantics (epoll parking vs kqueue EV_CLEAR, opt-in gating to preserve the #39610 contract), a human sign-off is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- The new deferral in loop.c mirrors both arms of the existing eof-deferral exactly;
us_poll_stop+ poll_type sync matches the sibling; the!read_fin && !read_eofguard prevents deferring when there is provably no tail. defer_reset_while_pausedinitialized at all four socket-creation sites (listen, connect, accept, from-fd); adopt copies the struct.- The flag is set only from
HTTPClient::pause_receive, soBun.Socket/node:netpause() keeps its immediate-close-on-reset contract. us_socket_resume's existingus_poll_changeENOENT→ADD fallback and its failure-close path cover the parked-fd re-registration.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Fixes #39846: a streamed fetch() response intermittently drops its tail with ECONNRESET when the server closes while the client is still uploading. The root cause is that fetch receive-backpressure pauses the socket (drops read interest), so when a peer RST arrives as EPOLLERR, the dispatch loop's error branch closes immediately without draining the kernel receive queue — discarding response bytes that had already arrived.
The fix adds an opt-in defer_reset_while_paused bit on us_socket_t. When set and an error event lands on a paused socket, loop.c defers the close (parking the fd on epoll since EPOLLERR is unmaskable) so that resume() can re-arm reads and drain the tail before the reset surfaces via the normal recv() error path. Only the HTTP client's fetch backpressure sets the flag; user-facing pause() (Bun.Socket / node:net) keeps its existing close-immediately-on-reset contract from #39610. Windows is excluded (AFD discards the receive queue on abortive reset).
Files: loop.c (deferral logic), internal.h/libusockets.h/socket.c/context.c (flag definition, setter, init at 4 creation sites), src/uws_sys/{socket,us_socket_t}.rs (Rust wrappers), src/http/lib.rs (set flag in pause_receive), and a regression test.
Follow-up since prior review
My earlier review flagged two items; both are now fixed in the current diff:
- The error-deferral now has the second arm covering the "collected while paused, resumed by an earlier dispatch in the same batch" window (loop.c), matching the sibling eof-deferral exactly.
- The regression test wraps its loop body in
try { … } finally { conn?.destroy(); server.close(); }.
The comment-cop flags on the Rust files were trimmed to one-line cross-references in f5b7e74/c98cbdfc.
Security risks
None identified. This is receive-path flow-control ordering; no new user-controlled input parsing, no auth/crypto surface. The deferral is opt-in and scoped to a single internal caller.
Level of scrutiny
High. us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll is the hottest, most delicate function in the socket layer, and the reasoning here depends on platform-specific kernel semantics: EPOLLERR being level-triggered and unmaskable (hence us_poll_stop), kqueue's paused read knote being EV_CLEAR so no parking is needed, us_poll_change's ENOENT→ADD fallback for parked fds, and the interaction with the existing eof && error && !read_fin clearing. The PR description demonstrates deep understanding and the implementation mirrors the proven eof-deferral pattern line-for-line, but this is exactly the kind of change where a maintainer familiar with the loop.c history should confirm the kqueue reasoning and the "guaranteed resume" invariant on the fetch side.
Other factors
- The regression test is deterministic per the description (fails 5/5 unfixed, passes fixed) and skips on Windows with a documented reason. The sleeps are justified in-comment (a paused socket produces no observable events).
- The flag is initialized at all four socket-creation sites; I verified there are exactly four (listen init, connect init, accept in loop.c, from-fd in socket.c).
- The opt-in design correctly preserves the #39610 pinned contract for user pause().
- No CI results visible yet on the current head commit.

I reviewed this PR and the follow-up commits address both of my earlier inline findings (the second deferral arm in loop.c and the test's try/finally cleanup). No new issues found. Given this touches the core epoll/kqueue dispatch path in us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll and introduces a new socket-level opt-in with cross-platform #ifdef gating, a human look is still warranted — particularly on the design question raised mid-thread about whether the opt-in flag is preserving a Bun-test contract rather than node behavior.
What was reviewed:
- Flag initialization at all four
us_socket_tcreation sites (listen, connect, accept, from-fd) — all covered; adoption struct-copies preserve it. - The epoll
us_poll_stoppark +us_poll_changeENOENT→ADD fallback on resume, andus_socket_resume's close-on-failure — the parked-then-resumed path is complete. - kqueue arm: paused read knote is EV_CLEAR so no park needed; the second "resumed in same batch" arm mirrors the existing eof-deferral sibling.
resume_receivenever clears the flag, but that's fine: it only takes effect whileis_paused(or in the same-batch window), and fetch's pause always sets it beforepause_stream().
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR fixes #39846: a streamed fetch() response tail is discarded with ECONNRESET when a peer RST arrives while the client socket is paused for receive backpressure. It adds a per-socket defer_reset_while_paused bit (internal.h, initialized at all four creation sites in context.c/loop.c/socket.c), a public setter us_socket_defer_reset_while_paused (libusockets.h, socket.c) with Rust bindings (us_socket_t.rs, socket.rs), and a new deferral block in the error branch of us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll (loop.c) that parks the poll on epoll and defers the close until resume() re-arms reads. src/http/lib.rs sets the flag in maybe_pause_receive before pause_stream(). A regression test lands in test/regression/issue/39846.test.ts.
Security risks
None identified. No parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions. The change narrows when a socket is closed (defers instead of closing immediately), gated on an internal-only flag set exclusively by the HTTP client's own backpressure path. A user-facing Bun.Socket/node:net pause() keeps the existing immediate-close-on-reset contract (#39610), so there's no new hang exposure for user code. Windows is excluded via #ifndef LIBUS_USE_LIBUV.
Level of scrutiny
High. us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll is the single hottest path in Bun's networking layer — every epoll/kqueue socket event flows through it. The new block sits inside platform-gated #ifdefs and relies on subtle kernel semantics (Linux keeps the receive queue on RST; EPOLLERR is unmaskable and level-triggered; kqueue's paused read knote is EV_CLEAR). It also depends on us_poll_change's ENOENT→EPOLL_CTL_ADD fallback (epoll_kqueue.c:724) and us_socket_resume's close-on-failure to make the park/resume round-trip safe. These are the kind of interactions a maintainer who owns this file should sign off on.
Other factors
- My two earlier inline findings (missing second deferral arm; test cleanup ordering) were both addressed in follow-up commits (cb55f70 added the second arm; a4b684f added try/finally, awaited server.close, and fixture-error tracking). All CodeRabbit threads are resolved.
- The 04:16 thread comment ("the flag preserved a contract our own tests introduced, not node behavior… Standing by until your push lands") suggests an alternative design (unconditional deferral, adjusting socket.test.ts) may be under consideration. That's a maintainer-level call on whether the opt-in flag is the right shape or a stopgap.
- The test uses
Bun.sleep()to sequence loopback delivery. The rationale (a paused socket produces no observable events; a too-short sleep can only weaken the fail-before signal, not flake the fixed build) is documented and was accepted in the review thread, but timing-sequenced tests in this area still merit a human glance. - The bitfield addition sits in
us_socket_t's pad-to-pointer gap, so no size/ABI change on epoll/kqueue.
Given the critical-path location and the open design question, deferring rather than approving.
A poll error event (EPOLLERR / EV_EOF+fflags / AFD abort) closed the socket without reading when it carried no READABLE bit for us - which is always the case for a paused socket. The kernel keeps the receive queue on a reset, so the tail of the peer's stream queued ahead of it was discarded with the fd: a streamed fetch() response under receive backpressure lost its end with ECONNRESET although every byte had arrived (#39846), and node:net / Bun.Socket lost it the same way. An error is the end of the connection, so a pause no longer protects anything: run the read loop for an error event even without READABLE interest and through a pause, so recv() delivers the queued data and then the error, and the same dispatch closes with it. No per-socket opt-in and no deferred-error state. Windows: the paused-socket MSG_PEEK probe, the fin_deferred bit, its loop counter and the sweep that escalated it are removed; a paused socket takes the existing not-reading branch (reset -> error dispatch, FIN -> ABORT-only re-arm until resume), and a shut-down paused socket no longer has READABLE forced on.

Pushed 6d1ac96. I backed off the "paused socket is deaf until resume()" shape from my review after working through it: it's node's model, but here the poll error is the only peer-death signal for owners that pause with their timeout zeroed (Bun.serve/node:http body backpressure), the uWS/TLS write paths swallow ECONNRESET as backpressure, and a send() after the RST consumes sk_err so the eventual read looks like a clean EOF — each of those would need its own change. The version pushed keeps ERR terminal and just stops discarding the tail: the read loop runs for an error event even without READABLE interest / through a pause, delivers what's queued, then closes. No new bit; the Windows fin_deferred bit + counter + sweep + MSG_PEEK probe are removed. |
|
Verified 6d1ac96 on linux x64 (debug build): the issue's 2000-iteration race script is at 0 failures, test/regression/issue/39846.test.ts passes, the flipped paused-reset tests in socket.test.ts and the new node-net and node-tls-server coverage pass, and the fetch-backpressure h1 suites pass. The write-path points (zeroed timeouts, ECONNRESET swallowed as backpressure, send() consuming sk_err) explain why the deaf-until-resume model could not work here. I updated the PR body to describe this shape. |
|
CI on 6d1ac96 (build 102374): the only red test is bun-server.test.ts on Windows 2019 x64, which is pre-existing on main and reported separately. Every other failure passed alone or on retry. The paused-reset, node-net, node-tls-server, and regression tests are green on all lanes. |

The first body chunk arrives with the headers, so the transport is already paused when fetch() resolves. The server resets with resetAndDestroy after the tail is flushed, so the tail and the reset are queued before the body is consumed. No-Verification-Needed: test-only change

I reviewed the current shape (6d1ac96 + edfdcfb) and found no bugs. Because this rewrites when us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll runs the read loop — every socket in the process goes through it — and removes the Windows fin_deferred sweep/probe machinery, a human sign-off is still warranted.
What was reviewed:
drain_for_errorin loop.c: runs the read loop on error regardless of READABLE/pause; the low-prio-queue exclusion and!errorguard on the SSL low-prio parking keep parked sockets on the plain error close. My earlier batch-resume concern no longer applies — the drain keys onerror, notis_paused.- The read-loop
continueconditions now bypassis_pausedonly whenerroris set, so a mid-drainon_datapause still stops a non-error drain. - Windows: the merged not-reading branch in
poll_cbcovers both paused and post-EOF sockets via SO_ERROR / zero-byte-send probe → shared error path; the removedfin_deferredcounter/sweep has no remaining reader. - Regression test now sequences on the
write()flush callback +resetAndDestroy()(no sleeps), with try/finally around each iteration.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR fixes #39846: a paused socket (fetch receive backpressure, net.Socket#pause) whose peer resets was closed without reading, discarding bytes the kernel still held ahead of the RST. The final shape (pushed by Jarred in 6d1ac96) runs the read loop for an error event even without READABLE interest and through a pause, so recv() delivers the queued tail before the same dispatch closes with the error. It also removes the Windows-only fin_deferred bit, its loop counter, the sweep in sweep_timer_cb, and the paused-socket MSG_PEEK probe in poll_cb — the merged not-reading branch now routes a probed reset through the shared error path (which drains) and quiesces a FIN with the ABORT-only subscription. Tests are updated across socket.test.ts (contract flip: paused socket now delivers queued data before ECONNRESET), node-net.test.ts (new subprocess test asserting bytesRead accounts for the tail), node-tls-server.test.ts (adds bytesRead assertion), and a new 39846.test.ts. edfdcfb replaced the regression test's sleeps with a write-callback + resetAndDestroy() sequence.
Security risks
None identified. The change reads more data before closing on a peer-initiated error; it does not relax validation, expose new surface, or change trust boundaries. The read loop is bounded by recv() returning 0 or the error, so no unbounded drain.
Level of scrutiny
High. us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll is the single dispatch every TCP/TLS socket event flows through. Changing when on_data fires (now on a paused socket, but only when error is set) and removing a Windows state machine both have blast radius across fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:net, and TLS. CI is green on all lanes (the one Windows failure is a pre-existing GC-tracing flake per Jarred's 11:09 comment), and the change has extensive targeted coverage — but this is not a mechanical change.
Other factors
- Jarred pushed the final native shape and verified CI, so the design has maintainer endorsement; procedurally another reviewer should approve since he authored the head commit.
- All prior review threads (mine, CodeRabbit's, comment-cop's) are resolved. My 03:53 loop.c comment targeted the earlier deferral-based shape and is superseded; the try/finally and error-swallowing feedback on the regression test is applied; the
peercleanup nit on node-net.test.ts was reasonably declined (await using procdisposal transitively resets it). - The
unclassified_send_failuresfield widening from 7 bits back to a fullunsigned charkeeps the 32-cap semantics (US_UNCLASSIFIED_SEND_RETRY_LIMITis 32) and stays in the pad-to-pointer gap.
