What does this PR do?

Fixes the heap corruption behind the frequent test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts crashes/hangs on Windows CI (e.g. build 102435, segfault at 0x0 in us_internal_socket_after_resolve; build 102379, segfault in us_poll_start_rc; the "code 1" runs are the same corruption hanging in mimalloc's free-list walk).

The trigger: a socket callback closes its own socket and then drives the event loop again before returning (expect(promise).rejects.toThrow()waitForPromise is what the test does from inside the WebSocket client's on_data). Our libuv backend (packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c) mishandled that re-entrancy at two layers; both are Windows-only and both are in our code, not libuv:

  1. usockets socket. us_internal_loop_post only frees the loop's closed sockets when loop->data.tick_depth <= 1, so the outer dispatch (which reads s->flags after the callback returns) never sees freed memory. The epoll/kqueue backend maintains tick_depth; the libuv backend never did, so the nested check_cb freed the socket under the outer dispatch. us_loop_run / us_loop_pump now bracket uv_run with tick_depth, matching the POSIX ticks.
  2. libuv poll handle. us_poll_stop (reached from us_socket_close, i.e. from inside the handle's own poll_cb) started the uv_close of the uv_poll_t immediately. The nested uv_run then completed that close and freed the handle while libuv's uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req for it was still on the stack; after poll_cb returned, libuv read the freed handle and queued its endgame a second time (double close callback / double free, corrupted handle queue). us_poll_stop now only uv_poll_stop()s (no further poll_cb either way) and us_poll_free — which runs from the outermost loop_post, never under a poll_cb — does the uv_close; the close callback frees the uv_poll_t, us_poll_free frees the us_poll_t, in either order.

How did you verify your code works?

  • New socket.test.ts case (terminate() inside data() followed by nested event-loop ticks): segfaults every run on a Windows release build without these changes (same us_poll_start_rc signature as CI), still every run with only (1), passes 10/10 with both.
  • test/bake/fixtures/deinitialization on Windows: debug build crashed 4/4 before (UAF read of the 0xDF-poisoned socket in us_internal_socket_follow_adopted); release build passes 10/10 with both changes (was ~2/6).
  • socket.test.ts, tcp-server.test.ts, node-net.test.ts, serve.test.ts, websocket.test.js, deinitialization.test.ts pass locally on a Windows release build.

… that closed it returns

A socket callback may close its own socket and then drive the event loop
again before returning (bun:test's expect(promise).resolves/rejects and
other waitForPromise callers do exactly that). us_internal_loop_post
guards against freeing the loop's closed sockets from such a nested tick
by checking loop->data.tick_depth, because the outer dispatch still holds
the socket pointer and reads it after the callback returns. The
epoll/kqueue backend maintains tick_depth; the libuv backend never did,
so on Windows the nested check_cb freed the socket, the outer dispatch
read freed memory, and once the allocator had reused the block it went
on to recv on, close and free whatever lived there now. That heap
corruption is what test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts kept hitting on
Windows CI (segfaults in us_internal_socket_after_resolve and
us_poll_start_rc, hangs inside mimalloc's free-list walk).

- us_loop_run and us_loop_pump bracket uv_run with tick_depth, matching
  us_loop_run / us_loop_run_bun_tick on epoll/kqueue.
- Deferring the free to the outermost tick means libuv can finish
  closing a stopped poll's uv_poll_t before us_poll_free runs. The old
  hand-off ("whichever of us_poll_free / the close callback comes second
  frees both") leaked both allocations in that order, so the uv_poll_t is
  now handed to libuv at us_poll_stop and freed by its close callback,
  and us_poll_free frees the us_poll_t on its own, in either order.
- New socket.test.ts case: a Bun.connect socket terminated inside data()
  followed by nested event-loop ticks; it segfaulted every run on Windows
  before this change.

I reviewed this and didn't find any correctness issues beyond the inline nit. Because it redesigns the uv_poll_t ownership hand-off and touches the Windows event-loop reentrancy path — native memory-safety code — a human look is still worthwhile.

Checked: the tick_depth bracket exactly mirrors epoll_kqueue.c's us_loop_run/us_loop_run_bun_tick; all us_poll_free callers (context.c, socket.c, loop.c, udp.c) reach it with uv_p == NULL via a prior us_poll_stop or a failed us_poll_start_rc (both failure branches now null it), so the "never started" direct-free branch is the only one that owns uv_p. Also confirmed the us_loop_free teardown uv_run needs no bracket (no outer dispatch to protect).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes a Windows-only heap-corruption UAF in packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c: a socket callback that closes its own socket and then re-enters the event loop (via waitForPromise) let the nested tick's check_cbus_internal_loop_post free the socket while the outer dispatch still held a pointer to it. Two changes: (1) bracket uv_run in us_loop_run/us_loop_pump with loop->data.tick_depth++/--, matching the epoll/kqueue backend so the tick_depth <= 1 gate in us_internal_loop_post actually works on Windows; (2) simplify the us_poll_stop/us_poll_free hand-off — us_poll_stop now hands the uv_poll_t to libuv unconditionally (freed in close_cb_free_uv_poll) and nulls p->uv_p, and us_poll_free frees the us_poll_t independently. The old "whoever comes second frees both" protocol leaked when the deferred free reordered the two. Also updates the loop_data.h comment and adds a subprocess-spawned regression fixture.

Security risks

None. This is internal event-loop lifecycle management; no untrusted-input parsing, no auth/crypto surface. The change removes a UAF/heap-corruption vector rather than introducing one.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native C memory-safety code in the Windows socket-lifecycle path — REVIEW.md's most-blocked category. The uv_poll_t ownership redesign changes who frees what and when, and getting that wrong yields UAF or leaks that only reproduce on Windows CI. I traced every us_poll_free call site across context.c, socket.c, loop.c, and udp.c and confirmed each reaches the new code with uv_p == NULL (either via a preceding us_poll_stop, or via the us_poll_start_rc failure path which now nulls uv_p on both branches), so the "only still ours if never started" invariant holds. The tick_depth bracket is a straight port of epoll_kqueue.c:439/459 and 469/544. The unbracketed uv_run in us_loop_free is teardown-only and correctly left alone.

Other factors

The regression test is well-constructed (drives nested ticks from inside data() via expect(promise).resolves, then allocates same-size-class sockets to force reuse of a prematurely freed block). The PR description documents 4/4→8/8 crash-to-pass on the actual CI failure. The one inline nit (undrained piped stdout, describe vs describe.concurrent) is a harness-convention item with no runtime impact. I'm deferring rather than approving because ownership-protocol changes in native poll lifecycle warrant a maintainer's eyes even when the tracing checks out.

… poll_cb

The same re-entrancy has a second victim one layer down, in libuv's own
handle. us_socket_close runs from inside the socket's poll_cb and
us_poll_stop started the uv_close of the uv_poll_t right there. When the
callback then drives the loop again, the nested uv_run processes the
cancelled AFD poll completion for that handle, sees it closing with
nothing outstanding, runs its endgame and frees it - while libuv's
uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req for that handle is still on the stack.
After poll_cb returns it reads the freed handle, finds it "closing with
nothing outstanding" again and queues the endgame a second time: the
close callback runs twice (double free) and uv__handle_close unlinks an
already-unlinked queue node. Release builds hit this on the new
socket.test.ts case every run (crash in the next us_create_poll /
us_poll_start_rc, or a hang in mimalloc's free-list walk); the debug
allocator's timing hid it.

us_poll_stop now only uv_poll_stop()s (which already guarantees no
further poll_cb), and the uv_close moves to us_poll_free, which runs
from the outermost us_internal_loop_post and therefore never inside a
poll_cb. us_poll_free tells an initialised handle (uv_close, freed by the
close callback) from a never-started one (plain free) by handle->type,
which us_create_poll now initialises; the us_poll_start_rc failure path
no longer needs its own copy of that distinction.

The socket.test.ts entry also stops piping a stdout it never read and runs
under describe.concurrent like its neighbours.

I re-reviewed after acac7a3 and didn't find any bugs — the earlier nit is addressed. Because this reworks the uv_poll_t lifecycle and re-entrancy contract in Windows-only native code, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every us_poll_stop caller on the libuv path (context.c:485, udp.c:118, socket.c:201/310/380) — each links to closed_head/closed_udp_head, so the deferred uv_close in us_poll_free is always reached; no leak from moving it out of us_poll_stop.
  • Verified every us_poll_free caller is covered by the new ->type == UV_POLL discriminator (both us_poll_start_rc failure states via the memset, and us_create_poll's new UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE init).
  • Confirmed tick_depth bracketing matches epoll/kqueue: check_cb runs inside uv_run, so the outermost us_internal_loop_post sees tick_depth == 1 and nested pumps see >= 2.
  • loop_data.h change is comment-only; no Rust-mirror update needed.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a Windows-only heap-corruption crash in the usockets libuv backend (packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c) that was causing frequent test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts failures on Windows CI. Two intertwined changes: (1) us_loop_run / us_loop_pump now bracket uv_run with tick_depth++/-- so the existing tick_depth <= 1 guard in us_internal_loop_post actually works on Windows (it was previously always 0); (2) us_poll_stop no longer starts uv_close on the uv_poll_t — that now happens in us_poll_free, which is only reached from the outermost loop_post and therefore never while the handle's own poll_cb is on the stack. us_create_poll initializes uv_p->type = UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE so us_poll_free can distinguish an initialized handle (needs uv_close) from a raw block (direct us_free). A new subprocess test reproduces the crash via terminate() inside data() followed by expect(promise).resolves (which drives nested ticks). The loop_data.h change is a comment update only.

Security risks

None. This is internal event-loop lifecycle management with no user-facing input parsing; the only external inputs are libuv's own callback status/events. The change tightens memory safety rather than loosening it.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native C touching handle lifetime and free ordering under event-loop re-entrancy — REVIEW.md's most-blocked category. It is Windows-only (#ifdef LIBUS_USE_LIBUV), which limits blast radius but also makes it harder to verify locally. The change reworks the ownership contract between us_poll_stop and us_poll_free (previously stop began uv_close and free raced/cooperated with it via the uv_is_closing + data-pointer dance; now free is the sole uv_close site). I traced every caller of both and the new contract holds, and the reasoning about libuv's uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req reading the handle after poll_cb returns matches libuv's Windows source — but this is exactly the kind of subtle lifecycle change that benefits from a maintainer who knows this backend confirming the model.

Other factors

The PR description is detailed with a clear mechanism proof (debug UAF read of 0xDF-poisoned memory, release segfault matching the CI signature, 10/10 pass with both fixes vs. 0/10 without). The test is a spawned crash fixture asserting signalCode === null, which is the right shape for a UAF regression per REVIEW.md. The prior nit (undrained stdout, non-concurrent describe) was fixed in acac7a3. The close_cb_free_poll helper is deleted along with the code that made it dead. I did not find anything to block on, but the correctness argument depends on libuv-internal phase ordering and Windows AFD poll internals that a human familiar with this file should sanity-check.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it reworks the uv_poll_t ownership/close ordering and adds tick_depth bracketing in the Windows usockets backend — native memory-lifecycle code on the socket dispatch path — a human look would still be worthwhile.

Checked: every us_poll_stop caller that compiles under LIBUS_USE_LIBUV (socket.c:201/310/380, context.c:485, udp.c:118) links the poll into closed_head/closed_udp_head, so the deferred uv_close in us_poll_free is reached on all paths (loop.c:858 is epoll-only). UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE == 0 so the memset in us_poll_start_rc and the new sentinel in us_create_poll agree with us_poll_free's type check. The loop_data.h change is comment-only; the Rust mirror already has tick_depth.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes a Windows-only heap-corruption UAF in packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c triggered when a socket callback closes its own socket and then re-enters the event loop before returning. Two changes: (1) us_loop_run/us_loop_pump now bracket uv_run with loop->data.tick_depth++/--, matching the epoll/kqueue backend so us_internal_loop_post's existing tick_depth <= 1 guard defers us_internal_free_closed_sockets to the outermost tick; (2) us_poll_stop no longer calls uv_close — it only uv_poll_stops — and us_poll_free (reached from the outermost loop_post) is now the single place that uv_closes the uv_poll_t, with close_cb_free_uv_poll freeing the handle allocation. us_create_poll seeds uv_p->type = UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE so us_poll_free can distinguish never-initialised handles. loop_data.h is a comment-only update. A new spawned fixture + test in socket.test.ts reproduces the crash.

Security risks

None identified. No user-controlled input parsing, no auth/crypto. The change is a lifecycle/ordering fix in the event-loop backend.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native C touching the two things REVIEW.md flags hardest: allocation ownership ("who frees this, when, on which paths") and re-entrancy ("anything that can run user JS can synchronously free your state"). The fix is Windows-only, so it will only be exercised in Windows CI. I traced every us_poll_stop caller under LIBUS_USE_LIBUV and confirmed each links the poll into a closed list that reaches us_poll_free, so moving the uv_close from stop→free does not leak. I confirmed check_cb runs inside the uv_run bracket (libuv order: poll → check → close), so at outermost depth all poll_cb frames have returned before the free runs, and UV_UNKNOWN_HANDLE == 0 matches the memset in the init-failure path.

Other factors

My earlier nit (stdout draining / describe.concurrent) and CodeRabbit's three minors were all addressed in acac7a3 and aaf698c; all inline threads are resolved. The test drains both pipes concurrently, asserts signalCode === null, and awaits the churn connects. The PR description gives a concrete root-cause trace (uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req reading a freed handle after nested uv_run completed its close) and empirical before/after counts on Windows. Given the change reworks handle ownership semantics on a critical dispatch path, I'm deferring rather than approving.

This PR and #39643 fix the same bug. I compared the two diffs and built both heads (dd7070d64 here, 063e4c0f7 there) on a Windows Server 2019 x64 machine. The baseline below is the canary build of 40ef8113d, the main commit both PRs are based on.

Same fix:

One difference in behavior:

  • This PR issues the uv_close from us_poll_free. For a socket closed during a poll dispatch (data(), open(), the eof and error closes) that is the loop_post of the same iteration, after close_raw has closed the socket. main and usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 issue the uv_close while the socket is still open.
  • At that point an AFD request is in flight (patches/libuv/win-poll-rearm-before-callback.patch re-arms before poll_cb) and its LOCAL_CLOSE completion is still in the IOCP. So uv__poll_close (libuv src/win/poll.c) takes its cancel path and issues the AFD ioctl on the closed socket handle. uv_close ignores the error and the pending completion still reaches the endgame, so a normal process does not notice. If the handle value was reused in the meantime, the cancel lands on the socket that holds it now.
  • With strict handle checking, which is on inside an AppContainer, that ioctl ends the process. test/js/bun/windows/appcontainer.test.ts as changed in usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 (it adds a step that closes a socket from its own data()) passes 3 of 3 on the baseline and fails 3 of 3 on this build: the sandboxed child exits with 0xC0000008 (STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE). The first push of usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 had this order too and failed the same way on the Windows 11 arm64 lane (build 101226). The version of that test on main passes on this build, which is why CI is green here.
  • The script below turns on ProcessStrictHandleCheckPolicy in a plain process and closes a socket from data(). It survives on the baseline and on the usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 build. On this build it dies with 0xC0000008 at that step, 3 of 3 runs. A close from a timer survives on this build: the LOCAL_CLOSE completion is processed in the next poll phase, before loop_post.

What #39643 has that this PR does not:

  • The close order: us_internal_poll_close_fd plus the close_fd bit (internal.h, libuv.c, and a plain bsd_close_socket wrapper in epoll_kqueue.c), called from us_listen_socket_close (context.c), us_connecting_socket_close and us_internal_socket_close_raw (socket.c), and us_udp_socket_close (udp.c). This is the fix for the point above. It depends on poll_cb_depth: us_poll_stop still closes the handle at once outside a callback and defers only inside one.
  • poll_cb_depth also keeps the socket whose own callback is on the stack safe when the loop is re-entered by something tick_depth does not count, for example an addon that calls uv_run. None of the crash signatures needs this.
  • The released and uv_closed bits. Only that design needs them, because its us_poll_t lives until the close callback. This PR's design does not need them.
  • The us_poll_change and us_poll_start_rc guards after a stop. Defensive, no current caller.
  • Tests: the server side data() case and the open() + server.stop(true) case in socket.test.ts (both pass on this build), and the appcontainer step (fails on this build). The fixture in this PR covers the client side close with allocation churn, which usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 does not have. All three are worth keeping, whichever PR lands.
  • The Sentry groups in its description: BUN-43AH, BUN-4NC8, BUN-442H, BUN-442Y, BUN-442Z, and the TLS forms BUN-4MNY, BUN-4NFZ, BUN-4NJG, BUN-4NKV. Its comments also have a release build A/B for test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts. The mechanism is the same, so both PRs fix them.

I am not closing either PR. One of the two should land and the other should close. If this one lands, the close order hunks and the appcontainer step from #39643 are still needed, or AppContainer processes regress from main. If #39643 lands, the fixture from this PR is worth folding in. I left the same cross reference on #39643.

Conflicts resolved in 137e969 (merge of main). The only conflict was in packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c: #39860 removed us_internal_poll_cb_socket_is_probeable, and this PR changed the comment above poll_cb next to it. The merge keeps both. The diff against main is unchanged otherwise.

CI on 137e969 has one red test, test/cli/install/bun-audit.test.ts, on all Linux lanes and Windows x64. It is a break on main, not from this PR: the version bump to 1.4.1 makes normalizeBunSnapshot (test/harness.ts:2163) rewrite the <1.4.1 advisory range for mime in the snapshot output. It is reported for a fix on main. The other failures passed on retry.

🔴 Deferring uv_close from us_poll_stop to us_poll_free reorders it to run after the caller's bsd_close_socket (socket.c:201-202/304-313, context.c:484-485, udp.c:118-119), so uv__poll_close's AFD cancel ioctl now targets a closed socket handle. Under ProcessStrictHandleCheckPolicy (always on inside AppContainer) that terminates the process with 0xC0000008 STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE — robobun's dual-build comparison reproduced this 3/3 on this build with the extended appcontainer.test.ts and a plain strict-handle-checking script, both passing on main and on #39643 — and without strict checking the cancel can land on a reused handle. The fix is to keep the fd open until uv_close is issued (as #39643 does via us_internal_poll_close_fd + a close_fd bit).

Extended reasoning...

What the bug is

Before this PR, us_poll_stop() called uv_close() on the uv_poll_t synchronously; only after that did the caller close the OS socket. This PR moves the uv_close() call to us_poll_free() (libuv.c:164-177), but every close path still calls bsd_close_socket() immediately after us_poll_stop() returns:

  • us_internal_socket_close_raw — socket.c:304 → 313
  • us_connecting_socket_close — socket.c:201 → 202
  • us_listen_socket_close — context.c:484 → 485
  • us_udp_socket_close — udp.c:118 → 119

us_poll_free() runs later, from us_internal_free_closed_sockets in check_cbus_internal_loop_post (loop.c:422-423, gated on tick_depth <= 1). So uv_close — and the uv__poll_close it invokes — now runs after the socket handle has been closed.

The specific code path that triggers it

libuv's uv__poll_close (win/poll.c) checks submitted_events_1 | submitted_events_2; if nonzero, it issues an IOCTL_AFD_POLL cancel via uv__msafd_poll(handle->socket, ...)NtDeviceIoControlFile((HANDLE)handle->socket, ...), using the socket handle as the ioctl's file-handle argument. uv_poll_stop() only sets handle->events = 0; it does not clear submitted_events_*.

For a socket closed from inside its own data() callback — the exact scenario this PR targets, and what its own fixture does — the sequence is:

  1. uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req runs. patches/libuv/win-poll-rearm-before-callback.patch re-submits an AFD poll before invoking poll_cb, so submitted_events_* is nonzero throughout the callback.
  2. poll_cbdata()us_socket_closeus_poll_stop (now just uv_poll_stop) → bsd_close_socket(fd). The OS handle is now invalid; AFD queues a LOCAL_CLOSE completion into the IOCP.
  3. poll_cb returns. In the same uv_run iteration, check_cb fires → us_internal_loop_postus_internal_free_closed_socketsus_poll_freeuv_closeuv__poll_close.
  4. The LOCAL_CLOSE completion is still sitting in the IOCP (the poll phase has not run again between step 2 and step 3), so submitted_events_* is still set. uv__poll_close takes its cancel branch and issues the AFD ioctl on the already-closed handle.

Why existing code doesn't prevent it

The tick_depth bracket added in this PR defers us_poll_free past nested ticks, but for the ordinary (non-reentrant) close-from-data() case, tick_depth == 1 and loop_post runs us_poll_free in the same iteration's check_cb — after bsd_close_socket and before the next poll phase would have dequeued the LOCAL_CLOSE completion. uv_poll_stop alone does not clear submitted_events_*, so nothing suppresses the cancel ioctl.

Impact

  • Under ProcessStrictHandleCheckPolicy (always enabled inside an AppContainer, which test/js/bun/windows/appcontainer.test.ts covers): NtDeviceIoControlFile on an invalid handle raises 0xC0000008 STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE and terminates the process. This is a regression vs. main in a supported, tested sandbox configuration.
  • Without strict checking: uv_close ignores uv__poll_close's error, so the process survives — but if the handle value was reused for another socket between closesocket and check_cb, the exclusive AFD cancel lands on that unrelated socket's request.

robobun's dual-build comparison in this PR's timeline reproduced the AppContainer termination 3/3 on this build (both with the extended appcontainer.test.ts from #39643, which adds a close-from-data() step, and with a standalone script that enables strict handle checking in a plain process); both survive on baseline main and on the #39643 build. It also notes that #39643's first push had this same ordering and failed the Windows 11 arm64 CI lane (build 101226) the same way. A close from a timer survives on this build (the LOCAL_CLOSE completion is dequeued in the next poll phase before loop_post), which further confirms the mechanism. CI is green here only because the current appcontainer.test.ts on main happens not to close a socket from data().

Step-by-step proof

Given a Bun process inside an AppContainer with a TCP socket that receives data and calls socket.terminate() inside data():

Step Location State
1 uv__fast_poll_process_poll_req re-arms (patch) submitted_events_2 = X (nonzero)
2 poll_cbdata()terminate()us_poll_stop handle->events = 0; submitted_events_* unchanged
3 bsd_close_socket(fd) (socket.c:313) OS handle closed; LOCAL_CLOSE queued to IOCP
4 poll_cb returns; same iteration → check_cb poll phase has NOT re-run; submitted_events_* still nonzero
5 us_poll_freeuv_closeuv__poll_close sees submitted_events != 0NtDeviceIoControlFile(closed_handle, ...)
6 Strict handle check policy process exits 0xC0000008

On main, step 5's ioctl ran at step 2 (inside us_poll_stop), before step 3 closed the handle, so it targeted an open socket.

How to fix it

Keep the fd open until uv_close is issued. #39643 does this with us_internal_poll_close_fd plus a close_fd bit: inside a poll callback, the close paths mark the poll instead of calling bsd_close_socket immediately, and the deferred uv_close site closes the fd right after issuing uv_close (so uv__poll_close's cancel ioctl still targets an open handle). Adopting that piece — or otherwise ensuring uv_close precedes closesocket on every path — resolves both the AppContainer termination and the wrong-target-cancel hazard.
