…ibuv callbacks libuv's uv_run is not re-entrant, and libuv keeps using a handle after that handle's callback returns. Bun's handlers routinely drive the event loop again before returning (anything that waits for a promise synchronously) and close sockets from inside their own events. On epoll/kqueue that is fine because the dispatch loop is ours and was written for it; on Windows every socket handler, socket timeout, uWS pre/post/wakeup handler and JS timer ran inside a libuv callback frame, so a nested wait was a nested uv_run underneath a live libuv frame. That one mistake had several symptoms: - a socket closed during a nested tick was freed by the nested check_cb while the outer dispatch still held it (the deinitialization.test.ts heap corruption on Windows CI); - the nested run completed the uv_close of the poll whose libuv frame was still live, and libuv queued its endgame a second time on the way out (double close callback); - completions the outer uv_run had already dequeued sat in a list libuv detaches before dispatching, so a nested wait that depended on one of them never saw it (a data handler waiting for another socket's data from the same poll batch hung); - keeping uv_close ahead of closesocket, which uv__poll_close needs and strict-handle-check processes (AppContainer) enforce, was only possible by closing the handle from inside its own callback. The libuv backend now has the same shape as us_loop_run_bun_tick: poll_cb / timer_cb / async_cb only link the poll into an intrusive, loop-wide ready list, and us_loop_run / us_loop_pump run loop_pre, uv_run, the dispatch of that list, and loop_post from our own frame. prepare/check handles are gone. A nested us_loop_run is then just another sequential uv_run for libuv, keeps draining the same list (so nothing the outer run collected is lost), and us_poll_stop can uv_close immediately, before the socket is closed, because no libuv frame for that handle can be on the stack. Closed sockets are still freed only by the outermost loop_post (tick_depth, now maintained here as on POSIX), which is upstream uSockets' end-of-iteration rule applied to nesting. us_timer / the wakeup async go through the same list as POLL_TYPE_CALLBACK polls, like the timerfd/eventfd polls on epoll. JS timers on Windows fired from inside the uv_timer callback for the same reason. That callback now only ends the poll phase; auto_tick drains the timer heap after the tick exactly as it already did on POSIX, and the tick itself honors the timeout it is given (get_timeout's deadline, tick_possibly_forever's bound) through an unref'd loop-owned deadline timer, where it used to ignore the argument on Windows. --hot on Windows: when the entrypoint is deleted and re-created (rm + rename, an editor's atomic save) and the two land in separate watcher batches, the DELETE evicts the entrypoint from the watchlist and the re-created file was then only reported as a change to its directory, which the Windows path ignored, so no reload ever came. It now recovers the way the inotify path already does: remember that the entrypoint's watch was evicted and reload once its directory changes and the file exists again. (The loop change makes the reload after the DELETE prompt enough that hot.test.ts hits this window every run.) Tests: nested-event-loop-fixture.ts (spawned from socket.test.ts) covers a socket terminated inside its own data() followed by nested ticks and allocation churn, and a data handler that waits for another socket's data collected in the same batch; both fail on Windows before this. process-stdin.test.ts: the read(n) polling child's spin cap was ~50ms of setImmediate turns, less than EOF takes to arrive from a parent busy spawning the file's other concurrent tests; widened. Beyond sockets, us_timer and the wakeup async, the same rule applies to everything else Bun registers with libuv on Windows, so that no handler of ours - and therefore no JavaScript, which can always tick the loop again before it returns - runs while uv_run is on the stack: pipe/tty reads (BufferedReader, read_start_ctx users: IPC, named-pipe sockets, the test-runner channel, the Chrome pipe), uv_write completions, every uv_fs_* completion (file readers/writers, Blob read/write/copy, node:fs's uv paths, fd closers), uv_pipe_connect, named-pipe listen/accept, subprocess exit, the c-ares uv_poll, and close callbacks. Mechanism (src/libuv_sys/deferred.rs): a libuv callback records what completed and links an intrusive node into its loop's queue; us_loop_run drains that queue right after the socket ready list, in the same tick. It is the split every other backend already has - epoll/kqueue/IOCP return a batch, the loop walks it - with uv_run in the place of the wait. Requests need no owner cooperation: the node, the callback and the status fit in uv_req_t's spare `reserved[6]`, so `uv_fs_read(.., fs_callback(req, cb))` is the whole change at a call site, and uv_write_t::write / Pipe::connect defer internally. Close callbacks reuse the handle's own list links once libuv is done with it (UvHandle::close), and hold back UV_HANDLE_CLOSED until the owner's callback has actually run so `is_closed()` keeps meaning what its callers assume. Stream reads commit bytes and charge limits inline (libuv may read again before uv_run returns) and hand the parent one chunk at dispatch. The queue is per loop (uv_loop_t.data), so spawnSync's private loop never runs the main loop's handlers. The loop enforces it: us_loop_run aborts (assertion builds) if entered while its uv_run is on the stack, and EventLoop::enter debug-asserts the same, so a callback that still ran a handler inline would fail loudly instead of nesting uv_run. Also: the debugger's pause loop ticked uv_run(DEFAULT) directly on Windows; it goes through the uws loop like every other tick now. Test: nested-event-loop-fixture.ts gains the pipe version of the starvation case (two child processes answer at once; the first stdout handler waits for the second's data) - fails on Windows before this.

…initialization fixture The fixture's afterAll asserts every JS Server wrapper was collected after drainServerWrappers, which ran a fixed thirty setImmediate + GC rounds. A wrapper becomes collectable only once its server's sockets have finished closing, which is loopback I/O that setImmediate turns do not wait for; on a loaded machine the thirty turns occasionally ran out first (about one run in forty with other suites saturating the CPU), and the straggler was collected a round or two later. Poll the condition with 5ms rounds against a 5s deadline instead. No-Verification-Needed: test-only change (test/bake/fixtures/deinitialization/test.ts)
…he pipe starvation case on Windows only The pipe variant of the nested-tick starvation test fails on the epoll builds: a nested us_loop_run_bun_tick reuses the outer tick's ready-poll array, and a one-shot pipe poll the outer tick collected is not re-reported to the nested wait (sockets are, being level-triggered). That is the same class of bug on the POSIX backend and out of scope here; the case runs on Windows, where this change fixes it.

… step A handler can close its owner and then tick the loop before returning; the nested tick runs the deferred close callback, which may free the owner. So a dispatch step that has more to do after a handler hands the remainder back to the queue first (named-pipe accepts: one per step, re-queued while more are pending; read_start_ctx: a pending error is re-queued behind the data delivery) instead of reading the owner afterwards, and Process holds a ref across its exit handler. The owners' teardown already cancels a re-queued node. Test: the fixture gains a pipe server whose connection handler closes the server and waits while more accepts from the same poll batch are pending.
…der-independent --hot entrypoint recovery; test bounds - BufferedReader::close_impl still tells the maxBuffer owner when it drops a recorded read that overdrew the budget (exitedDueToMaxBuffer keys off it). - --hot on Windows: check for the re-created entrypoint once per watcher batch instead of in the Directory arm, so a same-batch delete + recreate (directory record before file record) does not leave the flag armed for a duplicate reload later. - ReadDeferral::cancel also clears what the cancelled dispatch recorded. - libuv.c: nest the __has_feature test so preprocessors without it parse. - Tests: process-stdin's read(n) child bounds its wait in wall-clock time; the fixture's socket case settles aDone even when the nested wait fails.
…ardening - Console stdin in line mode: libuv queues the next line read, alloc_cb included, as soon as the read callback returns and fills that buffer from a worker thread, so a read is outstanding into `_buffer` by the time the parent takes and clears it at dispatch. BufferedReader now stops a tty read inside the read callback (nothing is pending at that point) and starts it again after the hand-over, unless that paused, closed or finished the reader. Pipes read in zero-read mode and are unaffected. - JS timers keep the loop alive through the loop's counter on Windows too, instead of through the wake uv_timer's ref flag: the timer is one-shot, so libuv dropped it from its active count whenever it fired and aliveness depended on when drain_timers last re-armed it. - us_loop_pump's active_handles nudge brackets only uv_run, so handlers dispatched from a pump see the loop's real aliveness. - A tick given an already-passed deadline polls without parking instead of parking unbounded. - c-ares polls cancel their recorded readiness when they are closed, so a poll is never dispatched into a resolver that went away in the same tick. - start_reading does not re-arm a stream whose EOF/error/budget end is recorded but not yet handed over; MaxBuf::charge only reports an owned budget as overdrawn (matches on_read_bytes). - deferred.rs: debug-assert that a request is not re-issued while its completion is still queued; drop the unused write/getaddrinfo trampolines; doc fixes. Stale comments updated. - Fixture: the pipe case's children exit right after answering, so process exits and pipe EOFs are dispatched inside the nested wait too.

…rewriter abandon test tolerates one conservatively pinned handler - ensure_uv_timer no longer refs the wake uv_timer while JS timers are active: the keep-alive is the loop counter now, and a ref'd, armed wake timer could hold the process past clearTimeout of the last active timer. - deferred::arm cancels a node that is still queued before re-arming (all request structs are zeroed at creation, so the check reads defined memory); re-issuing early stays an owner bug (debug assertion) but can no longer corrupt the queue in release. - html-rewriter-leak "file-backed input are abandoned": the abandon path is driven by the handler promise being collected, and the most recently started handler's promise can remain conservatively reachable from a dead word in the microtask frame the polling loop itself resumes through - a heap snapshot in that state shows the Promise live with no incoming edge and no root, and a debugger shows its address at a fixed offset in JSC::asyncFunctionGeneratorBodyCall's frame (under drainMicrotasks <- timer fire <- drain_timers) during the loop's Bun.gc. main needs one extra round for the last promise for the same reason; with timers and reads now dispatched from different native frames on Windows the residue survived the 100 rounds on Windows aarch64 CI.

On Windows, after clearing all timers the wake timer stays ref'd + active until its armed deadline, souv_loop_alive()stays true and the process hangs for up to the longest cleared timeout. Delete lines 793-797 — the lazy-init at line 743 already leaves the handle unref'd.Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
Commit 8ad5c21 (part of this PR) moved the Windows JS-timer keep-alive from the wake
uv_timer's ref flag to the loop's own counter:increment_timer_refnow callsuws_loop.ref_()/unref()on all platforms and its#[cfg(windows)] self.uv_timer.ref_()/unref()calls were deleted. The new comment at lines 1191-1194 states "the wakeuv_timerstays unref'd", andensure_uv_timer's doc comment was updated to "this (unref'd)uv_timer_t" (line 724).But
ensure_uv_timerstill contains, at lines 793-797:if self.active_timer_count > 0 { self.uv_timer.ref_(); } else { self.uv_timer.unref(); }
So the wake timer does not stay unref'd. Every
insert()call (line 699) — fromsetTimeout/setInterval/update()/reschedule(), and from this PR's newdrain_timersend-of-drain re-arm at line 1125 — reachesensure_uv_timer, which refs theuv_timerwheneveractive_timer_count > 0at that moment.Why nothing unrefs it any more
Before this PR, when the last ref'd timer was cancelled,
increment_timer_ref(-1)at the 1→0 transition calledself.uv_timer.unref(). That call is gone from the diff. The remaining unref sites are:- Line 743 (lazy-init) — only runs once, before anything refs it.
- Line 796 (
ensure_uv_timer's else branch) — unreachable on the cancel path:remove()(lines 812-834) does not callensure_uv_timer, and when both heaps are emptyensure_uv_timerearly-returns at line 767 (soonest() → None) before reaching line 793.
So once the wake timer is ref'd, nothing on the
clearTimeout/clearInterval→cancel()→remove()+increment_timer_ref(-1)path ever unrefs it.Step-by-step proof
On Windows:
const t1 = setTimeout(() => {}, 60000); const t2 = setTimeout(() => {}, 60000); clearTimeout(t1); clearTimeout(t2);
t1insert →ensure_uv_timerruns withactive_timer_count == 0→ line 796uv_timer.unref()(no-op, already unref'd);uv_timer.start(60000)→ handle is active + unref'd (contributes 0 toactive_handles). Thenset_enable_keeping_event_loop_alive→increment_timer_ref(+1): 0→1 transition,uws_loop.ref_()bumpsactive_handlesby 1.t2insert →ensure_uv_timerruns withactive_timer_count == 1→ line 794uv_timer.ref_(). libuv'suv__handle_refsetsUV_HANDLE_REFand, because the handle is active, incrementsactive_handlesby 1.

Windows-only regression introduced by this PR (specifically by the
increment_timer_refchange in commit 8ad5c21). After all ref'd timers are cleared, the process stays alive for up to the longest cleared timer's remaining duration instead of exiting. This is a concrete behavioral regression a user would hit — e.g.clearTimeouton a long timeout no longer lets the process exit promptly.Fix
Delete lines 793-797 in
ensure_uv_timer. The lazy-init at line 743 already unrefs the handle, and per both updated comments (lines 724 and 1191-1194) and the 8ad5c21 commit message the design is that the wake timer stays unref'd — keep-alive lives entirely in the loop's counter viaincrement_timer_ref.
If the parent's data handler pauses and resumes the reader, start_reading has already started the stream again; the restart pending from on_stream_read must not start it a second time (uv_read_start returns UV_EALREADY, which would surface as a read error). start_reading and stop_reading now clear it.

What does this PR do?
Makes Windows dispatch I/O the way the POSIX backends do: libuv callbacks only record what completed, and every handler of ours runs from the loop's own frame after
uv_runreturns. Fixes the heap corruption behind the frequenttest/bake/deinitialization.test.tscrashes/hangs on Windows CI (e.g. build 102435) and the class of bugs it belongs to. Supersedes #39910 and #39643.The underlying mistake.
uv_runis not re-entrant, and libuv keeps using a handle after that handle's callback returns. Bun's handlers run JavaScript, and JavaScript can always drive the event loop again before it returns (expect(promise).resolvesin bun:test,require()of an async module,process.exit()'s drain, the debugger pause loop, …) and close handles from inside their own events. On epoll/kqueue that is fine:epoll_waitreturns a batch andus_loop_run_bun_tickdispatches it from our own loop, which was written for nesting. On Windows every socket handler, socket timeout, uWS pre/post/wakeup handler, JS timer, pipe/tty read,uv_write/uv_fs_*completion and subprocess exit ran inside a libuv callback, so a nested wait was a nesteduv_rununder a live libuv frame. Symptoms, all Windows-only:check_cbwhile the outer dispatch still held it — thedeinitialization.test.tscorruption (us_internal_socket_after_resolve/us_poll_start_rcsegfaults, mimalloc free-list hangs);uv_closeof the very poll whose libuv frame was live; libuv then queued its endgame a second time (double close callback);uv_runhad already dequeued sit in a list libuv detaches before dispatching, so a nested wait depending on one of them never saw it — a socketdata()handler (or a child-process stdout handler) waiting for another socket's/pipe's data from the same batch hung; reproducible on main;uv_closehas to precedeclosesocket(uv__poll_closeissues an ioctl on the socket; strict-handle-check/AppContainer processes die otherwise), which under the old structure meant closing the handle from inside its own callback.The change.

The prepare/check handles are gone. A nestedus_loop_runis just another sequentialuv_runto libuv and keeps draining the same list;us_poll_stopuv_closes immediately (socket still open); theuv_poll_tand theus_poll_tare freed independently. Closed sockets are still freed only by the outermostloop_post(tick_depth, now maintained on this backend too — upstream uSockets' end-of-iteration rule applied to nesting, shared with POSIX).src/libuv_sys/deferred.rs: the callback records and links an intrusive node into its loop's queue, drained in the same tick right after the ready list. Requests (uv_fs_*,uv_write,uv_pipe_connect,uv_getaddrinfo) need no owner cooperation — node, callback and status fit inuv_req_t's sparereserved[6]— so a call site changes fromSome(cb)tofs_callback(req, cb);UvHandle::closedefers close callbacks (holding backUV_HANDLE_CLOSEDuntil the owner's callback actually ran, sois_closed()keeps its meaning); stream reads (BufferedReader,read_start_ctxusers: IPC, named-pipe sockets, the parallel test-runner channel) commit bytes and charge limits inline — libuv may read again beforeuv_runreturns — and hand the parent one chunk at dispatch; subprocess exit, named-pipe accept and the c-ares poll record into their owners. The queue is per loop, sospawnSync's private loop never runs the main loop's handlers.us_loop_runaborts in assertion builds if entered while itsuv_runis on the stack, andEventLoop::enterdebug-asserts the same, so a straggler fails loudly instead of nestinguv_run.uv_runreach JS as one chunk. Chunk boundaries were never guaranteed and already differ on POSIX.uv_timercallback, and their keep-alive is the loop's counter as on POSIX (the one-shot wake timer stays unref'd):auto_tickdrains the timer heap after the tick as on POSIX, and the Windows tick now honors the timeout it is given (get_timeout's deadline,tick_possibly_forever's bound) via an unref'd loop-owned deadline timer instead of ignoring the argument. The debugger's pause loop, which droveuv_run(DEFAULT)directly on Windows, goes through the uws loop.--hoton Windows: when the entrypoint's DELETE and its re-creation (rm + rename, an editor's atomic save) land in separate watcher batches, the evicted entry's re-creation was only visible as a directory event, which the Windows path ignored — no reload ever came. It now recovers the way the inotify path already does. (The prompt reload after the DELETE madehot.test.tshit this window on every run.)How did you verify your code works?
test/js/bun/net/nested-event-loop-fixture.ts(spawned fromsocket.test.ts): (1)terminate()insidedata()followed by nested ticks and same-size allocation churn — segfaults every run on a Windows release build of main; (2) adata()handler that waits for another socket's data collected in the same poll batch; (3) the same through child-process stdout pipes, with the children exiting during the nested wait; (4) a pipe server whose connection handler closes the server and waits while more accepts from the same batch are pending. (2) and (3) fail on main (the nested loop never delivers), all pass with this change. (3) runs on Windows only for now: the epoll builds have the analogous problem for one-shot pipe polls (a nestedus_loop_run_bun_tickreuses the outer tick's ready-poll array), which is separate work.test/bake/fixtures/deinitialization: 10/10 on Windows debug and release (crashed/hung most runs before).data()withProcessStrictHandleCheckPolicyon) survives.bun/spawn,child_process,process,bun/io,streams,node/fs,dns,bun/net,node/net,websocket,hot/watch,shell,fetch,bun/http,timers,workers,worker_threads,bake,tls,node/http,http2,terminal,udp/dgram, … — results match main's on the same machine (see CI for the full matrix); no nested-uv_runassertion fires anywhere.deinitializationfixture'safterAll(every JSServerwrapper collected) drained with a fixed 30setImmediate+GC rounds; under heavy CPU load the last loopback socket close occasionally lands after those (1 in ~40 locally, straggler collected 1–2 rounds later), so it now polls the condition against a 5 s deadline. 60/60 under load after.process-stdin.test.ts: theread(n)polling child's spin cap (~50 ms ofsetImmediateturns) was shorter than EOF takes to arrive from a parent busy spawning the file's other concurrent tests — flaky on main locally too; widened.
