Carry the AsyncLocalStorage frame in promise reactions and microtask arguments instead of an InternalFieldTuple - #552

Conversation
…instead of an InternalFieldTuple With an AsyncLocalStorage frame active, every .then(), every await and every .finally() allocated an InternalFieldTuple [userContext, asyncContext] to carry the frame to the reaction job. Thread it through slots that already exist: - performPromiseThen: JSFullPromiseReaction stores the frame in m_context with the per-cell bit set; PromiseReactionJob's payload carries a flag saying arguments[3] is the frame rather than an embedder handler context. - await / async generators / for-await drivers / finally / module TLA: the frame rides in the fourth microtask argument, in the inline reaction's cell slot (flag bit 14), in the slim reaction's promise slot (per-cell bit; also used by the resolving functions' context record), and in a fourth slot of the synchronous module queue entry. performPromiseThenWithInternalMicrotask, resolve/reject/fulfillWithInternalMicrotask and createResolvingFunctionsWithInternalMicrotask take it as a separate argument. No path pairs it into a tuple any more; performPromiseThenWithContext only allocates one when a frame is active or its handler context is itself a tuple. The tracking-enabled flag moves from JSGlobalObject to VM (it is never cleared), and AsyncContextSwapScope, current() and the capture sites test it first, so a VM that never constructed an AsyncLocalStorage pays a flag test. Once enabled, the scope installs the captured value whenever it differs from the current one, so a job that captured no frame runs with no frame instead of inheriting what an earlier job left behind via enterWith(). The four-argument queueMicrotask overload moves next to the three-argument one in MicrotaskQueueInlines.h so it inlines the same way. Adds $vm.asyncContext()/$vm.setAsyncContext() and a stress test.

…es slow path, treat a null frame as captured, assert generator-body context in the test

Re the outside-diff note on JSModuleLoader.cpp's requeue fallback: fixed in 287d9c5, the remaining tasks are handed back with all four arguments. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks — the follow-up commit addresses both issues I raised: AsyncContextSwapScope::enter() now always records m_asyncContextData/m_restoreAsyncContext and only elides the install write, so enterWith() inside a same-frame job is unwound on exit; and triggerPromiseReactions now keys the flagged dispatch on contextIsAsyncContext() rather than !isUndefinedOrNull(), so a null frame survives the pending-reaction path. I re-reviewed and found nothing further, but given the breadth across the promise/microtask/module machinery a human pass is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed
enter()/restoreEarly()after the fix: destructor now unconditionally restores the entry value once tracking is on; nested scopes still compose.- The two extra fixes in 287d9c5: the
drainSynchronousModuleQueuerequeue loop now forwardsarg3, and the species-constructor slow path installs the swap scope before the user-observable lookup — both look right. wrap()and the 4-arg swap-scope constructor with ajsNull()frame: null is not treated as "no context" on either the pack or unpack side.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR reworks how Bun's AsyncLocalStorage frame is carried through JSC's promise reaction, microtask, async-generator, and module-TLA plumbing — 18 files spanning JSPromise, JSPromiseReaction, JSMicrotask, MicrotaskQueueInlines, JSModuleLoader, AbstractModuleRecord, JSGlobalObject, VM, plus a new stress test and $vm hooks. My previous review flagged two correctness bugs (an enterWith() leak when the captured frame equalled the current slot, and null frames being dropped in triggerPromiseReactions); commit 287d9c5 fixes both exactly as suggested, and additionally patches the synchronous-module requeue path (which was dropping the new fourth argument) and installs the swap scope before the species-constructor lookup in promiseResolveThenableJobWithInternalMicrotaskFastSlow.
Security risks
None identified. The change is behaviour of a Bun-only (USE(BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS)) context-propagation feature; it does not touch auth, sandboxing, JIT codegen, or memory layout. Storage of the frame goes through existing WriteBarrier slots (m_context, microtask argument arrays, InternalFieldTuple::putInternalField), so GC visibility is preserved.
Level of scrutiny
High. The patch threads a new value through a large number of hand-maintained call sites across several #if USE(...) variants, adds flag bits to reaction/microtask payloads, and changes RAII restore semantics that every promise reaction now depends on. The two bugs found in the first pass (plus the two the author caught in the same follow-up) show how easy it is to miss a path here; a maintainer familiar with the inline-reaction/spilled-reaction split and the module TLA queue should sign off.
Other factors
The new stress test covers then/catch/finally on pending and settled promises, await of values/promises/thenables, spilled reactions, async generators with for-await, combinators, throwing handlers, and residue-after-drain, and was tightened in the follow-up to assert the generator-body context. The bug-hunting pass on the post-fix code (exit: dry_streak) surfaced no new findings. Given the scope, defer rather than approve.

…, stop allocating per await/then (#41190) ### What Two problems with `AsyncLocalStorage` in 1.4.1: **1. `enterWith()` leaked past the callback that called it (Bun-only).** A frame installed inside a timer / `setImmediate` / I/O callback / server handler stayed in the global slot until some later microtask tick happened to clear it, so *unrelated* callbacks that ran in between inherited it — and retained whatever it referenced. Node drops it when the callback's `CallbackScope` closes. ```js const als = new AsyncLocalStorage(); setImmediate(() => als.enterWith("a")); setImmediate(() => console.log(als.getStore())); // node: undefined bun 1.4.1: "a" ``` Now the microtask checkpoint resets the slot whenever no script is on the stack (the boundary between event-loop callbacks), and — in JSC — every promise reaction / async continuation runs under exactly the frame it captured, including "none", and puts the previous value back when it ends. That replaces `cleanupLater` / `asyncHooksNeedsCleanup` / the `onEachMicrotaskTick` juggling and the reset hack in `JSNextTickQueue::drain`. **2. A store being active cost an allocation per `await` / `.then()` / `.finally()`.** JSC wrapped `[userContext, asyncContext]` into a 32-byte `InternalFieldTuple` to carry the frame to the reaction job. oven-sh/WebKit#552 threads the frame through slots that already exist (the 4th microtask argument, the inline reaction's cell slot, the slim reaction's promise slot, `JSFullPromiseReaction::m_context` + a payload flag), gates all of it on a VM-wide "an AsyncLocalStorage exists" flag, and stops `performPromiseThenWithContext` (every native stream read) from allocating a tuple when no frame is active. On the JS side, frames are now a persistent linked chain (`{storage, value, prev}`) instead of a `[storage, value, ...]` array that `run()` copied with `slice()`+`push` and `enterWith()` with `concat()`: `run()` pushes one three-field object and pops it, captures share their tail, `getStore()` walks the (short) chain, `enterWith()` replaces its own binding so the chain stays bounded, and `disable()` exits its binding in place. Depends on oven-sh/WebKit#552 (`WEBKIT_VERSION` points at its preview build; to be replaced by the merge SHA). ### Measurements Same-commit A/B: `main` + unpatched WebKit vs this branch + oven-sh/WebKit#552, both `--profile=release-local` on the same machine.

No-store rows are within run-to-run noise. The +1–3% instructions in the "no store" column is the residue protection: with an ALS in the process every reaction job now reads and restores the slot. jsc-shell numbers for the engine change alone are in oven-sh/WebKit#552. ### Behavior notes - `enterWith()` at the top level of the entry module is still seen by everything scheduled from there (timers, `process.nextTick`, promise continuations, `await`, servers started afterwards capture it), as in Node; what changes is that a frame set inside one event-loop callback is no longer visible to the next unrelated one, and `process.on("exit")` handlers run with no frame (as in Node). - `run()` pops back to the frame *object* from before the call rather than a copy. Node's `finally { enterWith(prior) }` installs a fresh frame, so in Node a later `disable()` (which deletes from the current frame object in place) does not reach continuations captured before that `run()`, while in Bun it now does. `disable()` itself still exits the binding in place, so consecutive `disable()` calls reach captured continuations as in Node (test added). ### Tests - `test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts`: residue across timers / immediates / I/O callbacks / microtasks / nextTicks / promise reactions / server requests (with a `FinalizationRegistry` check that per-request stores are collected), no per-`await`/`.then` helper allocations under a store, consecutive `disable()`. The residue and allocation tests fail on 1.4.1. - Existing: `AsyncLocalStorage-tracking` (74 fixtures), `async_hooks.node`, thenable, `EventEmitterAsyncResource`, node parallel `test-async-local-storage-*`, process-nexttick, timers, streams, fetch body streams, bun:test, serve, node:http, spawn, workers, vm — same results as the baseline build. - JSC: `JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js` in the WebKit PR; promise/async/generator/module stress subset shows no failures that differ from the unpatched build.

A reaction registered by then() captures the async context (AsyncContextSwapScope), and PromiseReactionJob keeps it installed while it settles the derived promise. Two other jobs settle a promise that was set up under a context and ran without it. The embedder's rejection tracker runs inside that settle, so Bun reported those rejections to `unhandledRejection` listeners with no AsyncLocalStorage store: - PromiseResolveWithoutHandlerJob settles the derived promise when the side that settled has no handler (`p.then(f)` and `p` rejects), and when one native promise adopts another (`resolve(p)`, an async function that returns `p`, a handler that returns `p`). Every site that queues it passed undefined where the context goes. Its third argument now is the captured context: from performPromiseThen and performPromiseThenWithContext for a settled promise, from the full reaction in triggerPromiseReactions, and from PromiseResolveThenableJobFast, which also installs its context before the species check so that the slow path registers its reactions under it. - PromiseFinallyAwaitJob is the second phase of finally(), after the callback returned a promise or a thenable. The job reads the result promise from its context record and does not use its cell. So when there is a context to carry, it is registered the way the first phase is: no cell, and the captured context in the slots the cell would use. With no context the registration does not change. This is #268 again on top of #552, which replaced the InternalFieldTuple pair the earlier version relied on. Bun's walk for the async stack of a native rejection (src/jsc/bindings/AsyncStackTrace.cpp) reaches the promise finally() returned through that cell. It has to follow the context record before a WebKit bump carries this change. JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js covers each path, for a settled and for a pending source. The derived promise of a Promise subclass settles through the capability's functions, and a `then` getter added to a value after a promise fulfilled with it runs inside resolvePromise(), so both observe the context of the job from script. The jobs are drained inside a third context, so a job that installs nothing fails too.
