Streams: one PipeReader loop with owned chunks, hold-not-adopt buffer pins, right-sized native pulls - #38886
Conversation
…ad is refused ReadScratchClaim::try_claim built its result with bool::then_some(Self), whose argument is constructed before the condition is tested. On the refused path that value was dropped straight away, and its Drop cleared READ_SCRATCH_IN_USE, releasing the claim held by the outer read loop. So only the first nested read under an outer dispatch stayed out of the per-loop scratch buffer; every later one read into it, under the chunk the outer loop was still delivering out of it. Test the flag and set it explicitly instead. With every nested read now reading into its own buffer, size read_blocking_pipe's streamed reserve to a full default pipe buffer (64 KiB) so a consumer that re-pulls from inside its chunk handler keeps getting one chunk per pipe buffer instead of four.
The scratch buffer lived in RareData / MiniEventLoop while the "in use" flag guarding it was a thread_local next to PipeReader, so a nested read that was refused could still release the outer claim (bool::then_some built and dropped the claim before testing the flag), and readFileSync borrowed the same buffer with no claim at all. Move both into PipeReadScratch: claim() returns a guard borrowing the owner (None while another read up the stack holds it), the guard derefs to the buffer and releases on drop. The buffer is MaybeUninit and sized on first claim. readFileSync claims it too and falls back to its own allocation when refused. Drop the 64 KiB streamed reserve: JS consumers copy the chunk before any user code runs, so nested reads from process.stdin handlers never overlapped the scratch in the first place.

@Jarred-Sumner, your commit 6d64efb is building: |
Every claim goes through &mut RareData / &mut MiniEventLoop, so a nested claim refused under an outer guard re-borrows the owner exclusively; references held by the guard across that would be invalidated. Zero the buffer on first claim so the safe Deref never views uninitialised bytes.
The sync no-VM path used to skip the pre-stat read entirely, which hid that it ignored the slice length; now that it gets a buffer too, honor it.

on_read_chunk received a bare &[u8] and every consumer had to work out
whether it pointed into the loop scratch, the reader's Vec, or its own
buffer before deciding to keep, copy, or steal it; FileReader got one
of those guesses wrong at EOF and parked a slice the reader freed. The
reader side had four read loops each with its own take/dispatch/restore
dance around the same Vec.
- on_read_chunk now takes Chunk::{Scratch(&[u8]), Buffer(&mut Vec),
Owned(Vec)}: the reader says who owns the bytes, borrows end with the
call, and Owned is handed over exactly when the reader is finished
(EOF / error / budget). FileReader's pointer-provenance branches, its
raw *mut Vec reach into the reader, and is_slice_in_vec_capacity go.
- PosixBufferedReader has one read_loop over (kind, destination): every
kind uses its non-blocking primitive, scratch when claimable else the
reader's buffer, one place each for EOF / EAGAIN / error / budget /
the blocking-pipe HUP recheck.
- on_pull reads straight into the JS view with read_into() instead of
routing the destination through ReadDuringJSOnPullResult and a
re-entrant on_read_chunk; that enum and its unreachable arms go, and
a pull no longer bounces through the scratch first.
- Windows delivers Buffer/Owned from its uv completion the same way.
No path gains an allocation or a copy; pulls lose one memcpy.

🟡
src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp:3585-3591— The mirrored FFI doc comment at src/runtime/image/Image.rs:131-134 still says "For OversizeTypedArray the helper adopts the storage in-place (createAdopted — no byte copy) and pins; once adopted it's detachable, so it MUST be pinned, not borrowed" — the pre-PR behavior. This PR changedborrowBytesForOffThreadto route that case throughpinStorage(), which now holds the view inheldViews()instead of adopting it (the diff deleted the equivalent "ADOPTED in-place by slowDownAndWasteMemory()" comment from bindings.cpp and replaced it with the hold-not-adopt summary at 3568-3569). Update or delete the Image.rs copy in the same PR (REVIEW.md "One source of truth; update every consumer atomically").Extended reasoning...
What the issue is
The extern declaration for
JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThreadat src/runtime/image/Image.rs:131-134 carries this doc comment:/// 0 = detached/null, 1 = FastTypedArray (≤~1 KB, GC-movable — dupe), /// 2 = pinned ArrayBuffer (caller must unpin). For OversizeTypedArray the /// helper adopts the storage in-place (createAdopted — no byte copy) and /// pins; once adopted it's detachable, so it MUST be pinned, not borrowed.
That is a mirror of the pre-PR bindings.cpp comment. Part 2 of this PR ("Pin without adopting") changed the behavior it describes:
borrowBytesForOffThreadnow routes anOversizeTypedArraywithout an ArrayBuffer through the newpinStorage()(bindings.cpp:3588 → 3521-3527), which records the view in the per-threadheldViews()table and returns — it does not callpossiblySharedBuffer()/slowDownAndWasteMemory()/createAdopted, and does not materialize an ArrayBuffer to pin.The specific code path
At bindings.cpp:3585-3591, the non-
FastTypedArrayview path used to be:auto* buf = view->possiblySharedBuffer(); // OversizeTypedArray → slowDownAndWasteMemory() → createAdopted if (!buf) return 0; if (!buf->isShared()) buf->pin();
and is now:
if (!pinStorage(view)) return 0;
where
pinStorage()(bindings.cpp:3516-3532) does:if (!view->hasArrayBuffer() && view->mode() == JSC::OversizeTypedArray) { heldViews().add(view, 0).iterator->value++; return true; }
The PR's diff explicitly deleted the old bindings.cpp explanation (old lines 3543-3552: "for
OversizeTypedArray, is ADOPTED in-place byslowDownAndWasteMemory()… Oversize MUST be pinned: once adopted … atransfer()would free the storage the worker is reading") and replaced it with the terser "Every other mode goes throughpinStorage(pin an existing ArrayBuffer, hold an OversizeTypedArray without adopting it)" at bindings.cpp:3568-3569, plus the full hold-not-adopt rationale at bindings.cpp:3501-3510. The Image.rs copy of that comment was not touched.Why this matters
The Rust-side comment now documents the opposite of the actual behavior. Under the old semantics, an OversizeTypedArray was adopted (so
.bufferalready existed and was pinned, andtransfer()would copy rather than move). Under the new semantics, it is held — no ArrayBuffer is created; if JS touches.buffermid-op, the newly materialized ArrayBuffer is unpinned and atransfer()moves (not frees) the storage — the accepted Node-parity window described in the PR body and at bindings.cpp:3506-3510. A future reader debugging an off-thread image op via Image.rs would be actively misled about which invariant the FFI helper provides.REVIEW.md, One source of truth; update every consumer atomically: "When a fact lives in two places (mirrored tables, encode/decode pairs), derive one from the other." This is exactly a mirrored FFI safety comment that went stale in the same PR that changed its source of truth.
Step-by-step proof
- Before this PR, bindings.cpp:3543-3552 and Image.rs:131-134 both said "OversizeTypedArray → adopted in-place via createAdopted, then pinned." The two comments matched.
- This PR's diff deletes the bindings.cpp version and adds
pinStorage()withheldViews(). At bindings.cpp:3524-3527, an OversizeTypedArray without an ArrayBuffer is added toheldViews()andpinStorage()returnstrue—possiblySharedBuffer()is never reached, socreateAdoptednever runs. - bindings.cpp:3568-3569 now reads "hold an OversizeTypedArray without adopting it."
- Image.rs:132-134 still reads "adopts the storage in-place (createAdopted — no byte copy) and pins; once adopted it's detachable, so it MUST be pinned, not borrowed."
- Therefore Image.rs describes behavior the PR removed, and its "MUST be pinned" rationale ("once adopted it's detachable") no longer applies — the storage is not adopted at all.
Impact and severity
Documentation-only; no runtime effect. The return-value contract (0/1/2) and the caller's obligation to call
unpinArrayBufferon2are unchanged (Image.rs already does that), so no code in Image.rs is wrong. This is nit severity — worth fixing in the same PR because the comment is a safety comment across an FFI boundary and now says the opposite of what the C++ side does, but not worth blocking merge over.How to fix
Replace Image.rs:132-134 with the same summary the C++ side now uses, e.g.:
/// 0 = detached/null, 1 = FastTypedArray (≤~1 KB, GC-movable — dupe), /// 2 = pinned storage (caller must unpin). An OversizeTypedArray without an /// ArrayBuffer is *held* rather than adopted (see `pinStorage` in bindings.cpp).
Or simply delete the OversizeTypedArray sentence and let bindings.cpp be the single source of truth for that detail.

🟡 The if len == 0 { close = true; has_more = false; } branch is unreachable: the enclosing if let (Some(max_size), false) = (self.max_size, chunk.is_empty()) guarantees chunk.len() >= 1, and the preceding if total_readed >= max_size { return false; } guarantees max_size - total_readed >= 1, so len = (max_size - total_readed).min(chunk.len()) >= 1 always. Consequently let mut close = false, the if len == 0 block, and the trailing if close { self.reader().close(); } are all dead — either delete the close machinery or replace the if with debug_assert!(len > 0). (Same deadness existed pre-PR; flagged because the block was rewritten. CodeRabbit noted the same at line 649.)
Extended reasoning...
What the issue is
In the rewritten FileReader::on_read_chunk at FileReader.rs:634-671:
let mut close = false;
let mut has_more = state != ReadState::Eof;
if let (Some(max_size), false) = (self.max_size, chunk.is_empty()) {
let total_readed = self.total_readed.get();
if total_readed >= max_size {
return false;
}
let len = (max_size - total_readed).min(chunk.len());
chunk.truncate(len);
self.total_readed.set(total_readed + len);
if len == 0 {
close = true;
has_more = false;
}
}
...
if close {
self.reader().close();
}The if len == 0 branch can never execute, which makes close always false, which makes let mut close = false and the trailing if close { self.reader().close(); } dead as well.
Step-by-step proof that len >= 1
- Control is inside
if let (Some(max_size), false) = (self.max_size, chunk.is_empty()). Thefalsearm of the tuple pattern matchedchunk.is_empty(), sochunk.len() >= 1. - Immediately above,
if total_readed >= max_size { return false; }did not return, sototal_readed < max_size, i.e.max_size - total_readed >= 1(bothusize). len = (max_size - total_readed).min(chunk.len())is thereforemin(≥1, ≥1), solen >= 1.- Hence
if len == 0is unreachable;closeis only ever set inside that branch, so it staysfalsefor the rest of the function;if close { self.reader().close(); }never runs.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
Nothing between step 2 and step 3 can change total_readed, max_size, or chunk.len() — they're a local snapshot, an immutable field, and the length of the borrowed chunk before truncate. There is no path into this block where either operand of the min is 0.
Relationship to pre-PR code
The pre-PR code had the identical dead branch, spelled slightly differently: it re-checked if buf.is_empty() after buf = &buf[0..len], under the same !buf.is_empty() outer guard and the same total_readed >= max_size early return, so the re-slice was to &buf[0..≥1] and the check was equally unreachable. This PR did not introduce the deadness; it faithfully carried it forward while rewriting the block to use Chunk<'_> and chunk.truncate(len). It's flagged here because REVIEW.md's "Every line you add must be demonstrably live" / "Delete dead code in the same PR that makes it dead" applies to the newly-written lines regardless.
Impact
None at runtime — pure dead-code cleanup. The reader's actual close-at-cap behavior is handled elsewhere: the next on_read_chunk call after total_readed reaches max_size hits if total_readed >= max_size { return false; }, and returning false stops the read loop. So deleting this machinery loses nothing.
How to fix
Delete three things:
let mut close = false;- the
if len == 0 { close = true; has_more = false; }block - the trailing
if close { self.reader().close(); }
Optionally replace the deleted if with debug_assert!(len > 0); to document the invariant. has_more remains live (used by write_chunk_to_sink / resolve_pending_read), so leave its declaration alone.
Note: CodeRabbit's inline comment at line 649 (🟡 Minor, with a Python model showing "A non-empty chunk cannot reach len == 0 while total_readed < max_size") is the same finding.

521-534: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winFix: the pin taken by
write()is never released here.
ArrayBuffer::unpin()(src/jsc/array_buffer.rs) now releases the JSC pin only whenself.pinnedistrue.JSValue::as_array_buffer()always constructs itsArrayBufferwithpinned = false(JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffersetsout->pinned = falseunconditionally; it is a plain read, not a pin operation).Both loops call
pinned.as_array_buffer(global)and thenbuf.unpin(). Sinceas_array_buffer()always yieldspinned = false,buf.unpin()is now a permanent no-op here, for both loops.
write()pinsarguments[1]/arguments[4]throughas_pinned_arraybuffer(kind 1 = actually pinned). When that pin was taken, this code must release it on completion (run_from_js_thread, the normal success path) and on teardown (release_unrun). As written, the JSC-level pin (buf->pin()) leaks: the buffer permanently loses zero-copytransfer()/postMessage()/structuredClonesemantics for the rest of the process, per the contract documented onJSValue::as_pinned_arraybuffer.Every other consumer added in this PR (
NodeHTTPResponse::clear_pending_pinned_write,MySQLValue::Bytes::drop,Image::pin_for_task/Pin::drop) releases the pin by calling the rawJSValue::unpin_array_buffer()FFI directly, which is already safe to call unconditionally (it no-ops for detached/bufferless views). Use the same pattern here.🐛 Proposed fix for both loops

Handle FastTypedArray views separately in the pinning API.
pinStorage calls possiblySharedBuffer() for FastTypedArray views. JSC copies the view into an ArrayBuffer and permanently converts the view. as_pinned_arraybuffer uses this path for zlib input and output, so common small buffers pay this cost.
borrowBytesForOffThread avoids the conversion for read-only borrows. Add an equivalent input-copy path and an output-safe path that preserves writes to the original view. Do not return the movable view->vector() as pinned storage.

🔴 JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBuffer (bindings.cpp:7262-7272) does not write the new out->pinned field, but its Rust caller JSCArrayBuffer::as_array_buffer (array_buffer.rs:1066-1073) constructs the out-param with MaybeUninit::uninit() then assume_init() — an uninitialized bool violates Rust's validity invariant (must be 0x00 or 0x01), so this is UB. The sibling producer JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffer was updated (line 3486); add out->pinned = false; here too. Reachable via Bun.serve({tls:{...}}) / Bun.connect({tls:{...}}) when cert/key/ca/alpnProtocols are passed as ArrayBuffers.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
This PR adds bool pinned; to Bun__ArrayBuffer (headers-handwritten.h:338) and pub pinned: bool to the Rust ArrayBuffer struct (array_buffer.rs:35). There are two C++ functions that fill a Bun__ArrayBuffer* out-parameter field-by-field:
JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffer— this PR addedout->pinned = false;at bindings.cpp:3486.JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBufferat bindings.cpp:7262-7272 — not updated. It writesptr,len,byte_len,_value,cell_type,shared,resizable, and leavespinneduntouched.
Its Rust caller at array_buffer.rs:1066-1073:
pub fn as_array_buffer(&mut self) -> ArrayBuffer {
let mut out = core::mem::MaybeUninit::<ArrayBuffer>::uninit();
// SAFETY: C++ fully initializes `out`.
unsafe {
JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBuffer(self, out.as_mut_ptr());
out.assume_init()
}
}The // SAFETY: C++ fully initializes out comment was true before this PR and is now false.
Why this is UB
MaybeUninit::<ArrayBuffer>::uninit() leaves every byte of the struct uninitialized (arbitrary bit pattern). C++ writes 7 of the 8 fields; pinned remains whatever bytes were on the stack. assume_init() then produces an ArrayBuffer by value.
Per the Rust reference and MaybeUninit docs, bool has a validity invariant: its bit pattern must be exactly 0x00 or 0x01. Producing a bool with any other bit pattern is immediate undefined behavior — not merely when the field is read, but at the moment assume_init() returns. LLVM is entitled to assume the invariant holds and may miscompile arbitrarily (e.g. if b { ... } else { ... } may take neither branch, or both).
Step-by-step proof
- User calls
Bun.serve({ tls: { alpnProtocols: someArrayBuffer } })or passes cert/key/ca as an ArrayBuffer. SSLConfigparsing (src/runtime/socket/SSLConfig.rs:243 or :414) calls(*val.get()).as_array_buffer()on a*mut JSCArrayBuffer.JSCArrayBuffer::as_array_buffer(array_buffer.rs:1066) createsMaybeUninit::<ArrayBuffer>::uninit()— the 8-byte-aligned struct sits on the stack with garbage bytes. Suppose the byte at thepinnedoffset happens to be0x7f.- It calls
JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBuffer(self, out.as_mut_ptr()). - bindings.cpp:7262-7272 writes
out->ptr,out->len,out->byte_len,out->_value,out->cell_type,out->shared,out->resizable.out->pinnedis never touched — still0x7f. - Back in Rust,
out.assume_init()returns anArrayBufferwithpinned: boolwhose bit pattern is0x7f. This is UB. - Even though these particular call sites (
dupe_z(buffer.byte_slice())) don't read.pinned, that doesn't matter — the validity invariant is violated at step 6 regardless. And if any future caller ofJSCArrayBuffer::as_array_buffer()calls.unpin()on the result,if self.pinnedreads the garbage bool.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
The other producer (JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffer) was correctly updated, so JSValue::as_array_buffer is fine — its Rust caller also uses ArrayBuffer::default() for the out-param anyway. But JSCArrayBuffer::as_array_buffer deliberately uses MaybeUninit::uninit() (not Default) precisely because the C++ side promised to fully initialize it. This PR broke that promise for one of the two producers.
REVIEW.md is explicit on both counts: "New enum variant or struct field → audit every switch on the discriminant, every constructor/clone site" and "Zero-init out-params".
Impact
UB in a release build on a user-reachable path (TLS config with ArrayBuffer inputs). In practice the stack byte will often happen to be 0 and nothing observable goes wrong, but that's luck, not correctness — and Miri/UBSan-style tooling would flag it. Since the fix is one line mirroring what this PR already did to the sibling function, and merging as-is introduces UB where none existed before, this is worth blocking on.
How to fix
Add one line to JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBuffer in bindings.cpp (e.g. after line 7271):
out->resizable = self->isResizableOrGrowableShared();
out->pinned = false;
}This mirrors the out->pinned = false; this PR already added to JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffer at line 3486.

🔴 Gating ArrayBuffer::unpin() on self.pinned breaks the async node:zlib completion paths: write() pins via as_pinned_arraybuffer but stores only the raw JSValues, and the completions (node_zlib_binding.rs:530-531 / 585-586) reconstruct via as_array_buffer(global) — which now writes out->pinned = false — so buf.unpin() is a no-op and the C++ pin() is never balanced. Every async zlib write leaks a pin; m_pinCount on the reused output buffer increments monotonically and transfer()/postMessage(..,[ab]) copy instead of detach forever. Fix: replace buf.unpin() with pinned.unpin_array_buffer() at both sites (the new C++ unpinArrayBuffer already gates on hasArrayBuffer(), so it's safe for a Held bufferless view).
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
This PR changes ArrayBuffer::unpin() at array_buffer.rs:155-160 from unconditional self.value.unpin_array_buffer() to:
pub fn unpin(&self) {
if self.pinned {
self.value.unpin_array_buffer();
}
}The pinned field is only ever set to true by JSValue::as_pinned_arraybuffer() (JSValue.rs) when C++ pinStorage returned PinKind::Pinned. JSC__JSValue__asArrayBuffer at bindings.cpp:3486 now unconditionally writes out->pinned = false, and ArrayBuffer::default() initializes it to false.
node_zlib_binding.rs CompressionStream::write() pins the input/output buffers via as_pinned_arraybuffer (lines 427-438), which calls C++ buf->pin() and sets pinned = true on the local ArrayBuffer structs. It then stashes only the raw JSValues in cached wrapper slots (pending_input_set_cached / pending_output_set_cached, lines 451-452) and lets the local in_buf/out_buf structs drop at scope exit — the pinned bit is lost. The completion paths reconstruct a fresh ArrayBuffer from the cached JSValue via pinned.as_array_buffer(global) — not as_pinned_arraybuffer — and call buf.unpin():
// release_unrun, lines 530-531; run_from_js_thread, lines 585-586
if let Some(buf) = pinned.as_array_buffer(global) {
buf.unpin(); // now a no-op: buf.pinned == false
}Pre-PR, ArrayBuffer::unpin() was unconditional, so this round-trip pattern worked. Post-PR, the reconstructed buf.pinned is always false, so the C++ buf->pin() taken in write() is never balanced by buf->unpin().
Step-by-step proof
- JS calls
z._transform(chunk)→CompressionStream::write(this, global, [flush, chunk, in_off, in_len, outBuf, out_off, out_len]). - Line 438:
arguments[4].as_pinned_arraybuffer(global)→JSC__JSValue__pinArrayBuffer→pinStorage(outBuf). Node zlib's output buffer is aBuffer.allocUnsafeSlow(chunkSize); on the first write it's anOversizeTypedArray(returnsPinKind::Held, kind=2 — nothing to unpin), but Node reuses the same buffer across chunks, and once.bufferis touched (or afterpossiblySharedBuffer()adopts it via any other path) it has an ArrayBuffer andpinStoragecallsbuf->pin(), returnsPinKind::Pinned(kind=1). The Rust side setsout_buf.pinned = true. - Line 452:
pending_output_set_cached(this_value, global, arguments[4])— only the JSValue is stored. out_buf: ArrayBufferdrops at the end ofwrite(). Thepinned = truebit is gone; the C++m_pinCounton the backingJSC::ArrayBufferis now 1.- The threadpool job runs;
run_from_js_threadexecutes on the JS thread. Line 585:pinned.as_array_buffer(global)→JSC__JSValue__asArrayBufferwritesout->pinned = false(bindings.cpp:3486). Line 586:buf.unpin()→if false { ... }→ no-op.m_pinCountstays 1. - Next chunk: step 2 again,
buf->pin()→m_pinCount = 2. Step 5 again, no-op. After N chunks,m_pinCount = N.
The input buffer (arguments[1]) leaks the same way whenever it has a backing ArrayBuffer.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
The pin-kind information lives only on the local ArrayBuffer struct, and write() deliberately does not keep those structs around (it round-trips through the JS-side cached-property slots so the GC roots them). Nothing else records that a real pin() was taken. The sync paths (write_sync, and the if !is_async branch further down in write()) don't have this problem because they don't round-trip — but the async completion paths at 530-531 and 585-586 are exactly the pattern this PR's gate broke.
Impact
Every async node:zlib write leaks a pin on both the input and output buffers whenever they have (or acquire) a backing ArrayBuffer. JSC::ArrayBuffer::isDetachable() returns m_pinCount == 0, so once leaked the buffer is permanently non-detachable: ArrayBuffer.prototype.transfer(), structuredClone(v, {transfer:[ab]}), and port.postMessage(v, [ab]) all fall back to copy-and-leave-attached instead of move-and-detach for the rest of that buffer's lifetime. Node's zlib reuses the same output buffer across every chunk of a stream, so a single gzip.pipe() over a large file leaves that buffer with m_pinCount in the thousands. This is a regression introduced by this PR (pre-PR unpin() was unconditional). REVIEW.md: "Reference counts provably balanced on every terminal path" — this PR introduced the imbalance.
How to fix
At node_zlib_binding.rs:530-531 and 585-586, bypass the pinned gate and call the JSValue-level unpin directly:
if pinned.is_cell() {
pinned.unpin_array_buffer();
}This is safe: the new C++ JSC__JSValue__unpinArrayBuffer already checks view->hasArrayBuffer() before touching possiblySharedBuffer(), so for a value that was Held (bufferless view, no pin taken) it's a no-op, and for a value that was Pinned it correctly calls buf->unpin(). Alternatively, store the ArrayBuffer structs (or at least their pinned bit) alongside the cached JSValues so unpin() sees the real kind — but the direct call is simpler and matches what the pre-PR code effectively did.

🟡 The Rust FFI doc comments for JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThread still describe the pre-PR contract: the extern doc here at Image.rs:131-134 and the inline comment at Image.rs:761-765 still say OversizeTypedArray is adopted in-place and pinned (now false — it returns 3/Held without adopting), and code 3 is undocumented; MySQLValue.rs:825-826 likewise lists only 0/1/2. The C++ doc in bindings.cpp was updated, so these are now out of sync with the source of truth — per REVIEW.md "One source of truth; update every consumer atomically", a wrong contract comment at an FFI boundary is worse than none. Doc-only (both call sites correctly handle kind @ (2 | 3)).
Extended reasoning...
What the issue is
JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThread (bindings.cpp) was changed in this PR to route through the new pinStorage(), which returns PinKind::Held (3) for a bufferless OversizeTypedArray without adopting it into an ArrayBuffer. The C++ doc was updated accordingly (bindings.cpp:3559-3562: "3 Held: a bufferless OversizeTypedArray; nothing to unpin, caller roots the value for the duration as it already does for 2"), and both Rust match arms were updated to kind @ (2 | 3). But three adjacent doc comments on the Rust side were not touched and now describe a wrong contract:
Image.rs:131-134 — the extern-declaration doc:
/// 0 = detached/null, 1 = FastTypedArray (≤~1 KB, GC-movable — dupe),
/// 2 = pinned ArrayBuffer (caller must unpin). For OversizeTypedArray the
/// helper adopts the storage in-place (createAdopted — no byte copy) and
/// pins; once adopted it's detachable, so it MUST be pinned, not borrowed.
The OversizeTypedArray sentence is now false (no adoption, no pin — it returns 3), and code 3 is not listed.
Image.rs:761-765 — the inline comment directly above the kind @ (2 | 3) arm this PR edited:
// Oversize/Wasteful/DataView/JSArrayBuffer: pinned by the
// helper. For Oversize, possiblySharedBuffer() adopts the
// existing fastMalloc storage in-place (zero byte copy);
// pinning then keeps it alive even if JS does `.buffer` →
// `transfer()` while the worker reads.
kind @ (2 | 3) => {The arm now covers kind 3, which is neither adopted nor pinned; possiblySharedBuffer() is no longer called for Oversize; and the whole point of the change is that .buffer → transfer() mid-read now moves the storage rather than pinning preventing it (the same window Node has, per the PR description).
MySQLValue.rs:825-826 — the extern-declaration doc:
/// 0 = detached/null, 1 = FastTypedArray (GC-movable — caller should dupe;
/// no unpin needed), 2 = pinned ArrayBuffer (caller must `unpinArrayBuffer`).
No mention of 3, though the call site 460 lines above was updated to kind @ (2 | 3).
Step-by-step proof
- Pre-PR,
borrowBytesForOffThreadon an OversizeTypedArray view calledview->possiblySharedBuffer()→slowDownAndWasteMemory()→ArrayBuffer::createAdopted, thenbuf->pin(), and returned 2. The Rust doc comments describe exactly this. - This PR replaces that with
auto kind = pinStorage(view);pinStoragereturnsPinKind::Heldfor!view->hasArrayBuffer() && view->mode() == JSC::OversizeTypedArraywithout touchingpossiblySharedBuffer(), andborrowBytesForOffThreadreturns 3 for that case. - The PR updated the C++ header comment to list codes 0/1/2/3 with the new semantics.
- The PR updated both Rust match arms from
2 =>tokind @ (2 | 3) =>withif kind == 2 { unpin } / Pin(v) } else { Pin::NONE }. - The PR did not update the Rust doc comments 5 lines above each match arm, nor the extern-declaration docs in the same files.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
Nothing checks doc comments. The compiler is happy because the call sites match the actual return values; the docs are pure prose.
Impact
None at runtime — the call sites are correct. But per REVIEW.md "One source of truth; update every consumer atomically": a comment describing the wrong contract at an FFI boundary is actively misleading. The next reader of Image.rs will see "For OversizeTypedArray the helper adopts the storage in-place and pins" directly above code that constructs Pin::NONE for that very case, and will reasonably conclude the code is buggy. FFI extern-declaration docs are exactly where the contract should be recorded, since Rust cannot see the C++ header.
How to fix
Update all three to mirror the new C++ doc — e.g. for Image.rs:131-134:
/// 0 = detached/null, 1 = FastTypedArray (≤~1 KB, GC-movable — dupe),
/// 2 = pinned an existing ArrayBuffer (caller must unpin), 3 = held a
/// bufferless OversizeTypedArray (no adoption, nothing to unpin; caller
/// roots the value for the duration as for 2).
Rewrite the inline comment at Image.rs:761-765 to describe hold-not-adopt for Oversize (kind 3) vs. pinned-ArrayBuffer for Wasteful/DataView/JSArrayBuffer (kind 2). Add ", 3 = held bufferless view (nothing to unpin)" to MySQLValue.rs:826.
(The Pin struct doc at Image.rs:1403 — "mode 2" — remains accurate since a non-NONE Pin is only constructed for kind == 2.)

🟡 Bun__JSArray__collectBufferSpans (bindings.cpp:7127-7136) still does view->possiblySharedBuffer() + buf->pin() — the pattern pinStorage() replaces — so async fs.writev/fs.readv (via VectorArrayBuffer::from_js(.., pin: true), types.rs:1436) still adopt bufferless OversizeTypedArrays and take the full-GC pressure this PR eliminates elsewhere; the PR description's "every fs/zlib/crypto/Bun.write threadpool op" overstates coverage. Per REVIEW.md "Fix the whole class in the same PR — grep for every sibling site sharing the pattern", this is the one remaining possiblySharedBuffer()+pin() site in the file. Not a correctness bug (pins are balanced either way), and a straight swap is not quite a one-liner — VectorArrayBuffer::release calls view.unpin_array_buffer() unconditionally per element, so it would need per-element PinKind tracking (or the doc comment at 7087-7091 and the PR description should just note the gap).
Extended reasoning...
What the issue is
Part 2 of this PR ("Pin without adopting") introduces pinStorage() (bindings.cpp:3516-3533) so that a bufferless OversizeTypedArray — Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(n) or new Uint8Array(n) past fastSizeLimit — is held rather than adopted into an ArrayBuffer via possiblySharedBuffer(). Adopting registers the bytes with the heap a second time, and because ArrayBuffers are reclaimed only by full collections, every threadpool op over a fresh Buffer becomes full-GC pressure (the PR measured 104 full collections for a 1 GiB fs.createReadStream). The PR converted JSC__JSValue__pinArrayBuffer and JSC__JSValue__borrowBytesForOffThread to route through pinStorage().
The sibling Bun__JSArray__collectBufferSpans in the same file at bindings.cpp:7127-7136 was not converted:
if (pinBuffers) {
auto* buf = view->possiblySharedBuffer();
if (!buf) [[unlikely]]
return 2;
if (!buf->isShared())
buf->pin();
}
append(ctx, JSC::JSValue::encode(view), view->vector(), view->byteLength());This is exactly the possiblySharedBuffer() + pin() pattern pinStorage() replaces, and it is the only remaining such site in bindings.cpp.
The code path that reaches it
collectBufferSpans(.., pinBuffers=true) is reached by VectorArrayBuffer::from_js(.., pin: true) at types.rs:1421-1436, which backs the async fs.writev / fs.readv argument collector (node_fs.rs). So the PR description's claim — "Applies to every fs/zlib/crypto/Bun.write threadpool op over a fresh Buffer" — is overstated for the vectored fs ops: each fresh Buffer in the array is still adopted into an ArrayBuffer, registering its bytes with the heap a second time and pressuring full collections exactly as before this PR.
Step-by-step proof
- JS calls
fs.writev(fd, [Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(64*1024), ...], cb)— an async vectored write. Each element is a bufferlessOversizeTypedArray(modeJSC::OversizeTypedArray,!hasArrayBuffer()). - The Rust argument parser calls
VectorArrayBuffer::from_js(global, buffers, pin: will_be_async)withpin = true. - That calls
Bun__JSArray__collectBufferSpans(global, val, pinBuffers=true, ...). - For each element, line 7131 calls
view->possiblySharedBuffer(). For anOversizeTypedArraythis callsslowDownAndWasteMemory()→ArrayBuffer::createAdopted, materializing anArrayBufferwrapper around the existing fastMalloc storage and registeringbyteLengthextra bytes with the GC heap. - Line 7135 calls
buf->pin(). - Contrast with
JSC__JSValue__pinArrayBufferon the same view post-PR:pinStorage()sees!view->hasArrayBuffer() && view->mode() == JSC::OversizeTypedArrayand returnsPinKind::Heldwithout touchingpossiblySharedBuffer()— no adoption, no double heap registration. - So the vectored fs path still takes the full-GC-pressure penalty this PR eliminates for the single-buffer
fs.read/fs.write/zlib/crypto/Bun.writepaths.
Why this is a same-class site
REVIEW.md: "Fix the whole class in the same PR — grep for every sibling site sharing the pattern: parallel switch arms, sync/async twins, fast/slow paths … Prefer moving the guard into the shared helper. If a site is intentionally excluded, say so in the PR." This is the one remaining possiblySharedBuffer() + pin() site in bindings.cpp; the shared helper (pinStorage) already exists 3600 lines up in the same file; and the doc comment at 7087-7091 — "each view's backing ArrayBuffer is materialized and pinned" — now describes the behaviour the rest of the PR moved away from.
Impact and why this is a nit
Not a correctness bug. Pins are balanced either way: VectorArrayBuffer::release() (types.rs:1364-1373) unpins every element via view.unpin_array_buffer(), and since possiblySharedBuffer() was called at pin time, every element has an ArrayBuffer to unpin. No leak, no UAF, no observable behaviour change — purely the performance opportunity the PR set out to capture, missed on one path.
fs.writev/fs.readv are also far colder than the single-buffer fs.read path the PR profiled (which drives fs.createReadStream), so the practical impact is small.
How to fix (and why it is not quite a one-liner)
Replacing lines 7127-7136 with auto kind = pinStorage(view); if (kind == PinKind::None) return 2; and reading view->vector() afterwards is mostly correct: view->vector() is valid for a Held bufferless view (its fastMalloc storage), the FastTypedArray case is handled identically by pinStorage's fall-through to possiblySharedBuffer(), and the views are protect()ed by the Rust caller so the GC-root requirement for Held is met.
The wrinkle is the release side: VectorArrayBuffer::release() calls view.unpin_array_buffer() unconditionally on every element, unlike ArrayBuffer::unpin() which now gates on the per-struct pinned flag. The new JSC__JSValue__unpinArrayBuffer gates on view->hasArrayBuffer(), so a Held view that stayed bufferless is a safe no-op — but a Held view whose .buffer was touched by user JS mid-op now has an (unpinned) ArrayBuffer, and release() would unpin() it. A correct conversion therefore wants per-element PinKind tracking on the Rust side (e.g. push only PinKind::Pinned views into a separate unpin list, or thread the kind through the append callback). That makes it slightly more than a mechanical swap, which is another reason this is flagged as a nit rather than a blocker — it may be worth deferring, but if so the doc comment at 7087-7091 and the PR description's coverage claim should reflect the gap.
…-write pins, sync borrow docs (#39026) Three review findings on #38886 that landed after merge; all real. - **`JSC__ArrayBuffer__asBunArrayBuffer` didn't write `out->pinned`** — its Rust caller builds the out-param with `MaybeUninit` and `assume_init()`s it, so the new `bool` was uninitialized (reachable via TLS options passed as `ArrayBuffer`s). Now set to `false` like the sibling producer. - **`node:zlib` async writes leaked their pins.** `write()` pins input/output with `as_pinned_arraybuffer`, but both completion paths rebuilt them with `as_array_buffer()` — whose `pinned = false` turned `unpin()` into a no-op after #38886 gated it. Each async write left `m_pinCount` one higher, so those buffers could never be `transfer()`ed/`postMessage`d again (they copied forever). The stream now records which of the two buffers were actually pinned at write time and unpins exactly those on completion (a held bufferless view is rooted by the cached slot but has nothing to unpin). Test added: five async writes through the same buffers, then `transfer()` must detach — fails on main, passes here. - Rust-side docs for `borrowBytesForOffThread` (Image, MySQL) now describe code 3 (held `OversizeTypedArray`, nothing to unpin) to match bindings.cpp.
… the stream when it is used up (#39201) ### Problem - `new Response(Bun.file(path).slice(0, 5)).body` and `Bun.file(path).slice(0, 5).stream()` deliver the whole file from the slice offset: 100 bytes for a 100-byte file, 1 MiB for a 1 MiB file. A zero-length slice streams to EOF. `test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts` "streams only the slice" fails on main (`Expected: 5, Received: 100`). Regressed in #38886. - Cause: the slice window (`FileReader.max_size` / `total_readed`) is only applied in `FileReader::on_read_chunk` (`src/runtime/webcore/FileReader.rs:637`). #38886 made `FileReader::on_pull` read straight into the pull buffer with `IOReader::read_into` (`FileReader.rs:832`), which does not go through `on_read_chunk`, and on POSIX that is the path every pull of a regular file takes. - Pre-existing, same mechanism: when the window was used up, `on_read_chunk` returned `false` without closing the reader, so a slice of a file that continues past it never finished on the paths that still go through `on_read_chunk` (native sinks such as HTMLRewriter, pollable fds, Windows), and before #38886 on every path (#18192, #31675). ### Fix - Both delivery paths share one window (`window_remaining` / `consume_window`): `on_pull` cuts the `read_into` destination to what is left of the window and charges what was read; `on_read_chunk` truncates the chunk to it, as before. - Whichever path uses the window up closes the reader (`end_at_window`), after the bytes have been handed over. This is the same sequence as a real EOF on that path (the final chunk, then `on_reader_done`), so sinks, parked reads and the JS adapter end the stream the way they already do at EOF. A zero-length window closes on the first pull without a read (`read_into` reads nothing into an empty destination). - Correct because the window is the blob's contract: `ReadableStream::from_blob_copy_ref` sets `start_offset`/`max_size` from the slice's offset and size, and `.text()` / `.arrayBuffer()` on the same slice already return exactly that window. The reader's offset was still honored (`pread` from `start_offset`); only the end of the window was lost. - Fixes #18192 and #31675 as a consequence: the window end now ends the stream instead of leaving the reader open. - Verified: `bun bd test test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts test/js/bun/util/bun-stdin-slice.test.ts` (108 pass). The new `blob.test.ts` cases under "a slice of a file that continues past it" cover `.stream()` + `for await`, `.stream().bytes()`, `Response(...).body` (all `read_into` pulls on POSIX, `on_read_chunk` on Windows) and `HTMLRewriter.transform(new Response(slice))` (native sink, `on_read_chunk`), each with a window inside the first read, of exactly the first pull buffer, spanning several pulls, ending at EOF, running past EOF, and empty, plus an unsliced file whose resolved size gives it a window ending at EOF. The new `bun-stdin-slice.test.ts` cases stream `Bun.stdin.slice(0, N)` over a pipe that is never closed, in one write and in two, which is the parked-read branch of `on_read_chunk`. Against a build with main's `FileReader.rs`, 20 of the 29 `blob.test.ts` cases fail (wrong byte counts, or a timeout where the stream never ends; the nine that pass are the EOF-bounded windows and the resolved-size guard) and both stdin cases time out. - Also run with the fix: `test/js/web/streams/streams.test.js`, `test/js/bun/util/bun-file*.test.ts`, `bun-stdin-slice.test.ts`, `test/js/workerd/html-rewriter.test.js`, the `spawn` stdio stream tests, `child_process.test.ts`, `process-stdin.test.ts`, `fetch-file-upload.test.ts`, `bun-serve-file.test.ts`; manual checks of `Bun.stdin.stream()` / `process.stdin` over a pipe and a file redirect, a FIFO slice whose writer stays open, and `/dev/zero` / `/dev/urandom` slices (now deliver exactly the slice; previously unbounded on main, hung before #38886). `cargo check -p bun_runtime` for the Windows and macOS targets. - Not a replacement for #31680 or #33601: both predate #38886 and carry a patch of the old `on_read_chunk` block for the window-end hang, which this PR makes unnecessary, but the `read_into` path this PR is about did not exist when they were written. Their main changes (#31680: buffered reads of character devices in `read_file.rs`; #33601: negative `slice()` indices in `Blob::get_slice`) are independent of this. ### Background - `FileReader` is the native source behind a file-backed `ReadableStream` (`Bun.file().stream()`, `new Response(file).body`, and the stream HTMLRewriter or fetch wire up for a file body). A file Blob carries an `offset` and a `size`; for a slice these describe the window, and `from_blob_copy_ref` copies them into the reader as `start_offset` and `max_size`. - It gets bytes two ways. A JS pull (`on_pull`) may read synchronously straight into the pull buffer via `BufferedReader::read_into`. Everything else comes from the `BufferedReader` read loop, which delivers through `on_read_chunk`: native sinks (`pull_into_sink`), pollable fds whose poll fired, and all reads on Windows, where reads complete through libuv. - The stream only ends when the reader reports done: `reader().close()` runs `on_reader_done`, which ends an attached sink or settles a parked read and tells the JS adapter to close; `on_pull` returns `Done` once `reader().is_done()`. A reader that is merely no longer being read from leaves the stream open forever, which is what the old window-exhausted `return false` did.
main's buffer-pin rework (#38886) holds a bufferless OversizeTypedArray view instead of materializing an ArrayBuffer for it, relying on the caller's root. A retained path has no such root, so `retainPinnedArrayBuffer` gives such a view its ArrayBuffer (adopted in place, no copy) and reports the byte range itself, read after that. Test now covers >1000-byte Buffer paths.
…light libuv reads (#31940) ## What does this PR do? Fixes a Windows use-after-free: tearing down a pipe reader while a cooked-mode console read is in flight frees the buffer libuv's worker thread is still writing into. ### Problem - On Windows, `WindowsBufferedReader` serves every libuv read from `_buffer`'s spare capacity. For a cooked-mode console read (the default for `process.stdin` / `Bun.stdin.stream()` on a console), libuv's `uv__tty_queue_read_line` stores that pointer and blocks a worker thread in `ReadConsoleW`; the worker converts the typed line into the buffer whenever `ReadConsoleW` returns (`uv_utf16_to_wtf8` into `read_line_buffer.base`), including when the read was cancelled mid-flight: `uv_read_stop` cancels asynchronously by injecting a VK_RETURN, and after read_stop the buffer is never handed back through `read_cb`. - Reader teardown (`deinit()` / `Drop` / `finish()`'s `shrink_to_fit`) frees or moves `_buffer` regardless, so the worker's late write lands in freed mimalloc memory and corrupts whatever is allocated there next. The crash then surfaces arbitrarily far away, typically as a fault on the corrupted allocation's next owner. - This is a plausible mechanism for the Windows-dominant Sentry crash family around `Heap::sweepArrayBuffers` -> `~ArrayBufferContents` -> `mi_free` (BUN-30T8 and siblings): the corrupted blocks are prime-size tenants for ArrayBuffer backing stores, and release-build `_mi_ptr_page` is unchecked only off macOS, matching the platform skew. No crash dump directly ties the family to this path, so that attribution is a hypothesis, not a claim. - Separately, `deinit()` emptied `_buffer` before calling `close_impl`, so the `orphaned_read_buf` parking that #37075 added for in-flight `uv_fs_read` received an empty Vec and the threadpool write still targeted a freed block on that path. ### Fix - Own the console read buffer by what libuv ties the read's lifetime to: the handle. `uv::Tty` becomes a `#[repr(C)]` wrapper over `uv_tty_t` (the same shape as `File` over `uv::fs_t`) with a `read_scratch: Vec<u8>`; `alloc_cb` serves tty reads from it, and `on_stream_read` stages delivered chunks into `_buffer` so commit/callback behavior is byte-identical to a pipe chunk. - The scratch is freed with its handle: libuv only runs a handle's close callback once no requests are pending on it (the parked line read holds one), and the process-static stdin tty is never closed at all. Heap ttys drop the scratch with the `Box` in `on_tty_close` / the `open_handles` teardown path. - Pipe reads complete synchronously inside `uv__pipe_read_data` on the loop thread and keep using `_buffer`; `uv_fs_read` keeps main's `orphaned_read_buf` parking. `HAS_INFLIGHT_READ` semantics are untouched, so `has_pending_read()` behaves exactly as on main (no per-chunk buffer churn for FileReader over a pipe). - `deinit()` now frees `_buffer` after `close_impl`, so the `orphaned_read_buf` parking gets the real allocation. - The tty scratch gets the same `ReadLimit` clamp main applies to `_buffer` (#39296), so a sliced read over a tty is cut at the limit exactly as over a pipe. This is the only change the rebase onto the PipeReader rework (#38886) needed; the staging copy in `on_stream_read` lands in `_buffer`'s spare capacity, which is what main's `on_read` / `on_read_chunk` commit and hand to the parent. ## How did you verify your code works? - `test/js/bun/terminal/terminal-spawn.test.ts` "cancelling a parked console stdin read does not corrupt the heap" (Windows-only, ConPTY via `Bun.Terminal` so the child has a real console): the child proves the cooked-mode line-read machinery works with a parent round-trip, arms a read, cancels it while the worker is parked in `ReadConsoleW` (the pre-fix free point), immediately adopts the freed-size allocation with ArrayBuffer probes, and fails if the cancelled read's late write mutates one. The run is one-sidedly nondeterministic: a cycle where the worker had not yet entered `ReadConsoleW` is vacuous, never a false failure. - Windows x64 debug build on the rebased base (main at 771c7e6): with only the test applied, the test fails 7 of 8 runs, each with the child tripping `mimalloc: error: corrupted free list entry of size 10240b` (the debug size class of libuv's 8 KiB line-read buffer); with the fix, 12 of 12 runs pass, the whole file passes (14 pass, 4 platform skips), and `terminal.test.ts`, `terminal-platform-gaps.test.ts`, `process-stdin.test.ts`, `stdin-fixtures.test.ts`, `spawn-streaming-stdin.test.ts`, `bun-stdin-slice.test.ts`, `tty.test.ts` and the tty regression tests pass (133 pass, 0 fail). A raw-mode ConPTY child (libuv's per-key-event read path through the same staging code) also received its input intact. - `cargo check --workspace` passes for `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` and `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`. ### Background - libuv on Windows gives every stream read its buffer via `alloc_cb` and normally returns it through `read_cb` in the same loop iteration. The exception is the cooked-mode console line read: it parks a worker thread in `ReadConsoleW`, retains the `alloc_cb` buffer across loop iterations, and a cancellation via `uv_read_stop` never produces a `read_cb` for the in-flight read, so no reader-side completion point exists to free that buffer safely. The handle is the only object whose lifetime libuv guarantees covers the read. <details> <summary>Superseded earlier versions of this PR</summary> Earlier revisions also (a) parked in-flight `uv_fs_read` buffers on the `File` and consumed `DEFER_DONE_CALLBACK` on normal completion after a lost `uv_cancel` race (both landed on main in a different shape via #37075), (b) redefined `HAS_INFLIGHT_READ` as a retention flag with clears moved to the read callbacks (dropped: it flipped `has_pending_read()` inside the chunk callback, causing a free+malloc per chunk for FileReader over a pipe), and (c) leaked one buffer per torn-down stdin reader, later reclaimed at the next `alloc_cb`, guarded by a `malloc_bins`-based leak test (dropped: the counters read 0 on release builds, making the test vacuous on CI, and the handle-owned scratch removes the leak outright). </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 0 · Platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine.

Such a view is now held rather than adopted: it cannot be detached without JS first touching.buffer, and if it does,transfer()moves rather than frees the storage — the same window Node has (Node detaches mid-read without complaint; verified with a 20 k-iteration spam). A per-thread table records which pins were holds so the matching unpin never touches a buffer that appeared in between. Applies to everyfs/zlib/crypto/Bun.writethreadpool op over a fresh Buffer.3.
