This solves a recursive push() -> _read() - > push() cycle when multiple push() happen asynchronously. I'm not 100% sure this is something we want to do at this point, nor if this is the right way to achieve this.

It's tagged as semver-major because I feel it might break some edge cases. We might want to revert this quickly if that is the case.

Seems pretty reasonable to me

The dicer CITGM failures appear to be real (or are pretty new at least), /cc @mscdex

if (chunk.length === 32 * 1024) { // first chunk
readable.push(Buffer.alloc(34 * 1024)); // above hwm
// We should check if awaitDrain counter is increased in the next
// tick, because when the 'data' event is fired

This sentence seems like it’s missing something?

process.nextTick(common.mustCall(() => {
readable.push(null);
}));
}), 10);

Isn’t setImmediate() enough here?

asyncReadable.push(null);
}));
assert.strictEqual(asyncReadable._readableState.needReadable, false);
}), 10);

Ditto … using setTimeout() tends to introduce race conditions because they might expire before the current event loop turn is over, but setImmediate() always defers (and doesn’t keep test running longer than they need to)

Fixed nits.
The dicer regression is legit, I'll dig into it.

would prefer to omit the console.log :-)

Emit 'readable' always in the next tick, resulting in a single
call to _read() per microtick. This removes the need for the
user to implement buffering if they wanted to call this.push()
multiple times in an asynchronous fashion, as this.push() triggers
this._read() call.

This landed is Node.js v10.1 yes? That is how I should interpret the linked commits?

Yes this is in 10.1

squaremo added a commit to amqp-node/amqplib that referenced this pull request Jul 16, 2018
The behaviour of the `'readable'` event changed, or was tightened up,
in

    nodejs/node#17979

such that it is _always_ called on the next tick. This change appears
first in Node.JS v10.0).

Since we rely on `'readable' in the multiplexing, it means that we
have to be more careful about when we wait for the next event loop to
come around in tests.

The tests tend to be much more brittle than live code with respect to
the order things happen, since they attempt to nail down precise
states or orderings (e.g., "the `unpipe` happened exactly between
these writes").
