Problem

  • A request parked on a promise that never settles (the handler's, or a stream's pull()) leaks its buffered body. LSan: 16 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s) from RequestContext::on_buffered_body_chunk (RequestContext.rs:4115), after a client abort or at VM teardown.
  • The context released its ref on the body slot only in deinit (RequestContext.rs:889). The promise pins the context, so deinit waits for GC, and at VM teardown it never runs (NativePromiseContext.rs:204). Bun.serve: an aborted request whose handler or pull() promise never settles is torn down only by GC, never at VM teardown #39739 tracks the rest of what such a context keeps.
  • The late release also let end_request_streaming reject a Locked value that request.body had created over a complete body. Read after the response, it gave "" or The connection was closed.

Fix

  • on_buffered_body_chunk releases the context's ref right after it stores and resolves the last chunk, as its streaming arm already does (RequestContext.rs:4042). A body that never completes is still released in deinit.
  • Correct because the context needs the ref only while bytes can still arrive. After the last chunk nothing in the context reads the slot (notes), and the Request holds its own ref, so the bytes live exactly as long as the Request.
  • Verified: seven new cells in test/js/bun/http/serve-body-leak.test.ts. Four LSan cells (abort, parked pull(), terminated Worker, Request collected before the last chunk) and two body reads fail on main. One ASAN cell pins that the read is resolved before the slot is dropped.

Background

  • A buffered body lives in a refcounted slot of the per-VM body_value_pool. The RequestContext and the JS Request hold one ref each. VM teardown frees the pool without dropping occupied slots (jsc_hooks.rs:95).
  • A pending promise holds a ref on the context through a NativePromiseContext cell. Only GC of the cell releases it. VM teardown does not deref the context: unsafe during the sweep.
  • request.body on a complete body replaces the stored bytes with a Locked value over a stream of them. end_request_streaming, run by every end path, rejects a Locked value in a slot the context still holds.
Notes
  • Repro from the report, run with BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1 ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 LSAN_OPTIONS=suppressions=test/leaksan.supp: leaks every run on the unfixed debug build, clean with this change. The LSan cells fail on main at RequestContext.rs:4115. The Request wrapper is destroyed at teardown and drops its ref, so with this change the slot count reaches zero and the bytes are freed.
  • Readers of the slot after the last chunk: is_dead_request only tests for Locked and tolerates None. end_request_streaming and deinit tolerate None. on_start_buffering is reachable only through the Locked value created at prepare time, which resolve consumes here. Body::Value::resolve hands the bytes to its consumer synchronously, so the release right after it is safe. The context is pinned for the callback, so the release is safe when it is the slot's last ref too. The two collected-Request cells exercise that case.
  • Earlier revisions also released the slot of an incomplete body from end_request_streaming. Review showed that no test can observe that: such a slot holds no allocation of its own, and a slot past the inline pool stays reachable through the parked context, so LSan does not report it either. It is the same class as the other resources a parked context keeps, so it is left to Bun.serve: an aborted request whose handler or pull() promise never settles is torn down only by GC, never at VM teardown #39739, and this PR is reduced to the one release that the failing cells need.
  • The Worker cell reports from setImmediate inside the handler. When it reported synchronously, terminate() sometimes reached the worker before on_response subscribed to the promise. drain_microtasks then returns Stopped, the context keeps a single ref, and on_abort frees it on the spot, so that request never reached the leaking state. The body read cells use the same hop to let a small body be stored without consuming it: it arrives in the same packet as the headers. The collected-Request cells send the upload by hand and keep the handler promise reachable, so that Bun.gc collects the Request (a FinalizationRegistry proves it) but not the promise.
  • Related open PRs: Bun.serve: tear down an aborted request's context at abort instead of waiting for GC #39743 is the fix for Bun.serve: an aborted request whose handler or pull() promise never settles is torn down only by GC, never at VM teardown #39739 (tear a parked context down at abort). It and this change are independent: this one frees the bytes of a complete body as soon as it is complete, whatever happens to the context later, and fixes the body read after the response, which Bun.serve: tear down an aborted request's context at abort instead of waiting for GC #39743 does not touch. Bun.serve: free a Worker's RequestContext pools when its VM is torn down #37513 keeps a request pool with parked contexts alive at Worker teardown and names this body leak as separate work. Bun.serve: keep delivering a request body that is still arriving after the response finishes #33524 keeps delivering a late body after the response. None of them overlaps with this change.
  • Suites run on this build: serve-body-leak.test.ts (whole file), test/js/web/fetch/body*.test.ts (6 files), serve-pending-promise-abort-leak, bun-serve-body-json-async, serve-async-stream-client-abort, serve-request-extra-memory, http-server-chunking, bun-serve-static-stress-access-body, serve.test.ts, bun-server.test.ts, proxy.test.ts, proxy.test.js. The last four have a few localhost and proxy env failures in this container that also occur with the released binary.

Status: ready for review. CI is green on the current head (Buildkite build 101599, 179 of 179 jobs). The earlier build had two bun install files fail on GitHub API 504s on the Alpine lanes, which are unrelated to this change.

Reproduced with the ASAN debug build and the script from the report (Bun.serve handler that returns a promise which never settles, one 16 byte POST, abort, server.stop(true)), run with BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1 ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 LSAN_OPTIONS=suppressions=test/leaksan.supp. LSan reports 16 bytes from on_buffered_body_chunk on every run of the unfixed build. With this change the run is clean.

The diff is one release in on_buffered_body_chunk plus comments. Six of the seven new cells in test/js/bun/http/serve-body-leak.test.ts fail on main, the seventh pins an ordering under ASAN, and all pass with the fix. Earlier revisions also released the slot of an incomplete body from end_request_streaming; that was dropped because nothing can observe it. The resources a parked context keeps are tracked in #39739 and fixed by #39743, which is independent of this change.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it moves a refcount release point in RequestContext's request-body lifecycle — the most-scrutinized category in this codebase — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • end_request_streaming runs on every end/abort path and deinit calls it first (line 856), so the removed deinit release is covered.
  • request_body_take_unref is idempotent (replace(None)), so repeated end_request_streaming calls and the pre-existing early release at RequestContext.rs:4042 compose safely.
  • The scopeguard::defer! orders the release after request_body_mut() / to_error_instance, so the Locked rejection still runs while the context holds its ref.
  • LSan tests follow harness conventions (tempDir, drained pipes, skipIf(!isASAN), combined-object assertion).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Moves the RequestContext's +1 release on the pooled request-body slot from deinit to end_request_streaming, so a handler promise that never settles (which pins the context past VM teardown via NativePromiseContext) no longer keeps buffered body bytes alive past the body pool's lifetime. Two comment updates in server_body.rs name the new release point, and two new LSan cells in serve-body-leak.test.ts cover client-abort and Worker-terminate.

Security risks

None. This is a leak fix; no user-controlled input parsing, no auth/crypto surface. The only risk class is memory safety (double-unref or use-after-unref of the body slot).

Level of scrutiny

High. Bun.serve's RequestContext is production-critical hot path, and REVIEW.md flags refcount balance as the most-blocked category. The change itself is tiny (one line moved into a scopeguard::defer!), and I verified: deinit still reaches the release via end_request_streaming_and_drain() at line 856; request_body_take_unref is a replace(None) so repeat calls are no-ops; the defer ordering keeps the context's ref live across the Locked rejection (which the PR notes may otherwise run on the slot's last ref); and no caller re-populates request_body after an end path. The PR description enumerates every post-end reader of the slot and why each is unreachable — that argument reads correct against the source, but it is exactly the kind of "provably balanced on every terminal path" claim a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough (traces, related-PR analysis, per-path reasoning, full suite list). Tests are LSan-gated to the ASAN lane, use describe.concurrent, and the Worker cell's setImmediate hop is explained to avoid a race that would make the unfixed build pass. No prior human review comments to address.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it moves a refcount release in RequestContext's body-slot lifecycle — the memory-safety category the review guide flags as most-blocked — a human look from someone familiar with this file would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • request_body_take_unref is idempotent (replace(None)), so the new release in on_buffered_body_chunk followed by the scopeguard::defer! in end_request_streaming (and again via deinit → end_request_streaming_and_drain) cannot double-unref.
  • The &mut body into the hive slot is not touched after the release at RequestContext.rs:4136; the immediate return prevents a dangling deref.
  • The defer in end_request_streaming fires after body.to_error_instance, so the Locked rejection runs on a live slot on all three return paths including the ? error path.
  • is_dead_request is the only remaining reader of self.request_body after last-chunk; it handles None correctly.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes when RequestContext releases its +1 ref on the pooled Body::Value slot that stores a buffered request body. Previously the release happened only in deinit; now it happens (a) immediately after the last buffered chunk is stored and resolved in on_buffered_body_chunk, and (b) via a scopeguard::defer! at the end of end_request_streaming for bodies that never completed. The explicit release in deinit is removed since deinit already calls end_request_streaming_and_drain first. Two comment-only edits in server_body.rs update the ownership doc, and five new tests cover LSan-verified leaks (client abort, parked pull(), Worker termination) and post-response body readability.

Security risks

None identified. This is an internal refcount-timing change with no user-facing input validation, auth, or crypto surface.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is a lifecycle/ownership change in RequestContext, which the repo's review guide calls out as the most-blocked category ("pair every acquisition with its release", "reference counts provably balanced on every terminal path"). The reasoning is subtle enough that the PR's own first revision missed a branch (on_abort with a response stream) and a behavioral regression (end_request_streaming rejecting a completed body's Locked value). The final revision addresses both, but the correctness argument depends on non-local invariants: that nothing reads the slot after the last chunk except is_dead_request, that the prepare-time Locked callbacks die with the value resolve consumed, and that Body::Value::resolve hands bytes to its consumer synchronously so releasing right after is safe. These claims look right from the code I read, but they're exactly the kind a maintainer who owns this file should confirm.

Other factors

  • I verified the idempotence of request_body_take_unref (drops Option::None on repeat calls), so the multiple call sites of end_request_streaming (lines 1410, 1486, 2264) plus the last-chunk release cannot double-unref.
  • I verified the &mut body borrow into the hive slot at line 4115 is not used after the release at 4136 — there is an immediate return.
  • The scopeguard::defer! ordering is correct: it fires after to_error_instance on the Locked branch, after the readable-stream error branch, and on the ? early-error path, always with the slot still live during the user-JS rejection.
  • The tests are well-constructed: three LSan cells gated on isASAN && !isWindows with subprocess isolation and BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT, plus two in-process cells that exercise the behavioral fix (reading a complete body after the response). The PR states all five fail on main.
  • The comment-cop bot flagged the added comments; the author shortened them and the threads are resolved. The remaining comments state ownership facts, not workaround justifications, which is the repo's stated bar.

Given the subtlety of the refcount reasoning and that this is Bun.serve's per-request hot path, I'm deferring rather than approving.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it reworks the refcount lifecycle of RequestContext::request_body — a memory-safety change on a hot Bun.serve path — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every request_body consumer: request_body_take_unref is idempotent (replace(None)), deinit still releases via end_request_streaming_and_drain at line 856, and the defer_deinit early return is covered.
  • Checked the &mut body borrow at RequestContext.rs:4060 ends at its last use (line 4130) before request_body_take_unref() may free the slot; the immediate return prevents any post-free access.
  • Confirmed on_start_buffering (line 4277) can't fire after the last-chunk unref, since resolve consumes the Locked value that carried that callback.
  • The scopeguard in end_request_streaming fires on both the ? path and both return Ok(...) paths, and runs after to_error_instance so the rejection acts on a live slot.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR moves the RequestContext's release of its +1 on the pooled Body::Value slot from deinit to the two points where the context stops feeding the slot: the last buffered chunk in on_buffered_body_chunk, and a scopeguard::defer! in end_request_streaming for the incomplete-body path. It also removes the now-redundant explicit unref from deinit (which still releases via the end_request_streaming_and_drain call at its top). Two comments in server_body.rs are updated to point at the field doc. test/harness.ts gains a leakSanitizerEnv() helper, and serve-body-leak.test.ts gains seven cells: four LSan leak cells, one ASAN ordering cell, and two behavioral cells for reading a fully-buffered body after the response.

Security risks

None identified. This is a resource-lifetime fix; no user-controlled input parsing, auth, or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is a refcount-lifecycle change in RequestContext, which the repo's own review guidance flags as the most-blocked category ("reference counts provably balanced on every terminal path"). The body: &mut Body::Value at line 4060 becomes dangling if used after request_body_take_unref() frees the slot's last ref; the diff places the unref immediately before return and the borrow's last use is at line 4130, so NLL ends it before the unref — but this ordering is load-bearing and only guarded by a comment. The scopeguard in end_request_streaming must fire after to_error_instance (which can enter JS and be the slot's last consumer), and it does — but the ordering-pinning ASAN cell is the only mechanical guard.

Other factors

The PR is unusually well-documented and well-tested: six of the seven new cells are stated to fail on main and pass with the fix, the LSan cells directly reproduce the reported leak, and the collected-Request cells prove the release is safe as the slot's last ref. All comment-cop and CodeRabbit threads are resolved. I traced every reader of self.request_body (is_dead_request, request_body_mut at 2281/4060/4277, on_start_buffering) and each is either idempotent on None or cannot fire after the new release points. I found nothing wrong. Deferring only because refcount-lifecycle changes on the request hot path are the canonical "maintainer should look" category, and the PR itself notes adjacent out-of-scope leaks (parked-context pool slot, cookies) that a maintainer may want to weigh in on.

The request context and the JS Request each hold a ref on the pooled
Body::Value slot that stores a buffered request body. The context
released its ref in deinit. A request parked on a promise that never
settles (the handler's, or a response stream's pull()) is deinit'd only
when GC collects that promise, and never when the VM is torn down first,
so the body bytes outlived the body pool and LeakSanitizer reported them
(allocated in on_buffered_body_chunk).

The same late release made end_request_streaming reject a Locked value
that request.body had created over a complete body, so reading the body
after the response was sent gave "" or "The connection was closed".

Release the context's ref as soon as the last chunk is stored and
resolved, as the streaming arm of on_buffered_body_chunk already does.
From then on only the Request owns the bytes. A body that never
completes is still released in deinit.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The single-line release in on_buffered_body_chunk mirrors what the streaming arm already does at RequestContext.rs:4036, and I traced the downstream readers (end_request_streaming, is_dead_request, deinit, on_start_buffering) to confirm they all tolerate request_body being None after the last chunk. Because this shifts a refcount release point on a shared pooled slot in Bun.serve's hot path, a maintainer look at the "nothing reads the slot after the last chunk" invariant would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed body (the &mut into the hive slot) is last used at the resolve call before request_body_take_unref(), so the drop that may free the slot does not alias a live borrow.
  • Checked that deinit's existing request_body_take_unref() at line 890 is idempotent over None, so the incomplete-body path is unchanged.
  • The two open comment-cop flags on lines 153/4133 are length-heuristic hits on ownership docs; the author already justified them on the earlier round and REVIEW.md asks for exactly this kind of "who frees this, when" comment.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds one line to src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs: this.request_body_take_unref() at the end of the if last branch in on_buffered_body_chunk, releasing the request context's ref on the pooled body slot as soon as the final chunk is stored and resolved. The streaming arm of the same function already does this at line 4036. Two doc comments are updated to reflect the new release point, and two comments in server_body.rs are reworded to point at the field doc. Seven new test cells (~300 lines) in serve-body-leak.test.ts cover the leak (LSan under abort / parked pull() / Worker terminate / Request-collected-first), the resolve-before-drop ordering under ASAN, and the user-visible fix that a fully buffered body remains readable after the response is sent.

Security risks

None identified. This is a resource-lifetime change with no input parsing, auth, or trust-boundary implications. The risk class is memory safety (early release → UAF), which the tests address directly: the "resolves a pending read from the last chunk when the Request was collected" cell exercises the case where request_body_take_unref() is the slot's final deref, with ASAN watching the read that resolve performs from the slot just before the drop.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native refcount-lifecycle code in RequestContext, the per-request state machine of Bun.serve, and REVIEW.md flags exactly this category ("every allocation has exactly one named owner, released exactly once") as the most-blocked. The change is small and mirrors an existing sibling arm, and the PR description enumerates every post-last-chunk reader of the slot with why each tolerates None. I verified those claims against the source: is_dead_request (line 842) and end_request_streaming (line 2278) both branch on Some, deinit (line 890) drops None harmlessly, and on_start_buffering is only reachable via the Locked value that resolve consumes here. That said, a maintainer who knows the full set of paths through RequestContext should confirm no other reader exists.

Other factors

The test coverage is thorough and follows harness conventions (subprocess pipes drained concurrently, bunEnv spread, tempDir, port: 0, socket-error wired to reject the awaited condition per the CodeRabbit round). All CodeRabbit threads are resolved. The two remaining unresolved inline comments are from the comment-cop length heuristic, not human review; the author already argued (and I agree) that the flagged comments state non-local ownership facts rather than justify a workaround. CI build #101596 is referenced as building on the head commit. Given the memory-safety sensitivity and that approval guidelines say not to approve changes to critical code paths, I'm deferring rather than approving.

I reviewed this PR and found no bugs. The single-line refcount release in on_buffered_body_chunk mirrors the streaming arm and is placed after resolve so the context's ref still pins the slot while user JS runs; body is not touched after the drop. Because this adjusts refcount lifecycle on a hot Bun.serve path where the &mut into the hive slot is derived through unsafe, a human look is still worthwhile.

Checked: the new request_body_take_unref() call is idempotent with the existing one in deinit (RequestContext.rs:890); end_request_streaming tolerates request_body_mut() returning None; the body reference is last used at line 4127 before the drop at 4134; the two non-gated tests in the last describe block exercise the observable Locked-rejection fix on all platforms.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds one functional line in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs: this.request_body_take_unref() at the end of the last-chunk branch of on_buffered_body_chunk, immediately after Body::Value::resolve and before return. This releases the request context's +1 on the pooled body slot as soon as the buffered body is complete, matching what the streaming arm already does at line 4036. The remaining diff is doc-comment updates on the request_body field and the two server_body.rs allocation sites, plus ~300 lines of new tests in serve-body-leak.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. This is a resource-lifetime fix; no untrusted input parsing, auth, or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is refcount lifecycle in Bun.serve's per-request hot path. request_body_mut() hands out an unbounded &mut Body::Value into the hive slot via unsafe { &mut (*h.as_ptr()).value }; the new call may free that slot, so the ordering against the live body borrow and against resolve (which enters JS) is load-bearing. I traced: (1) body is last dereferenced at line 4127 inside resolve, before the new drop at 4134; (2) during resolve the context still holds its ref, so reentrant JS cannot free the slot out from under body; (3) request_body_take_unref is replace(None) + drop, so the existing call in deinit:890 becomes a no-op rather than a double-deref; (4) end_request_streaming:2278 and is_dead_request handle None correctly.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough and enumerates every reader of the slot after the last chunk. Six of seven new tests are stated to fail on main. The five LSan cells are gated to ASAN/non-Windows; the two behavioural tests (body readable after response) run everywhere. The comment-cop bot flagged the new comments repeatedly and the author pushed back with justification each time — those threads are all resolved. No human reviewer has weighed in yet. Given the unsafe-pointer subtlety and that this is a first human review of a memory-lifetime change in the server, I'm deferring rather than approving.

… waiting for GC (#39743)

Fixes #39739.

### Problem
- When a `Bun.serve` handler returns a promise that never settles, or a
direct stream parks inside `pull()`, the end of the request does not
free its context. The `NativePromiseContext` cell's ref keeps the
context parked until GC collects the promise: the pool slot, the body
slot, the stream refs, the sink, and `server.pendingRequests` all stay
held. At VM teardown the cell's deref is skipped on purpose, so the
context is never torn down.
- With a response sink, `on_abort` also returns before
`end_request_streaming`, so a pending body read (`request.text()` or
`textStream()`) on a cut-off upload stays unrejected.

### Fix
- The context remembers its live cell in a new `promise_cell` field.
`reclaim_promise_cell` calls the cell's `take()` and derefs, so the
context is torn down when the response ends. A later settle reaction
gets null from `take()` and no-ops, which the reactions already
tolerate.
- Every termination path reclaims: `on_abort` (both branches), the end
family (`end`, `end_stream`, `end_without_body`, `force_close`,
`end_already_responded_stream`), and `server.upgrade()`. The 413 path
and the upgrade need this because they disarm `onAborted`, so `on_abort`
can never run after them.
- `on_abort` orders the reclaim after `end_request_streaming`, and its
sink branch now calls `end_request_streaming` itself. A `Used` body
(`textStream()`) can only be rejected through a stream ref that
`finalize_without_deinit` drops without erroring.
- The settle paths clear the field after `take()`. The cell's destructor
clears it during sweep, so the field never dangles.
- Verified: test/js/bun/http/serve-pending-promise-abort-leak.test.ts
(nine new tests, all fail on unfixed bun). Three of them are the parked
pull() scenarios from #36567. Also body.test.ts, the serve stream, leak,
and abort suites, serve.test.ts, bun-server.test.ts,
serve-http3.test.ts, websocket-server.test.ts, the worker teardown
tests, and the html-rewriter suites.

### Background
- `NativePromiseContext` (src/jsc/bindings/NativePromiseContext.h) is a
GC cell that carries one native ref across a promise reaction. A settle
reaction `take()`s the pointer and derefs. If the promise is collected
unsettled, the cell's destructor releases the ref on the next tick.
- That destructor path was the only release the termination paths had.
It needs a GC run, and at VM teardown it is skipped because a
`RequestContext` deref is not sweep-safe.
- `server.pendingRequests` counts contexts between creation and
`deinit`, so each parked context kept it incremented.

Related: #36567 (closed: its accounting special case is not needed with
this change, and its scenarios are pinned here), #39660, #37513.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

- At most one cell claim is outstanding per context: the handler promise
cell is taken before the stream pump cell is created, the pump cell
before the flush cell, and the flush or pump cell before the
error-handler promise cell. `create_promise_cell` asserts this in debug
builds.
- The destructor clear runs inside GC sweep. It is a plain
`Cell<JSValue>` write on the context, which the unreleased claim keeps
alive (pool slots survive teardown for exactly this case, #37513).
- The H3 early return in `on_abort` (stream destroyed after a successful
`end()`) leaves the field alone: the promise settles normally there.
- Repro from the issue: `pendingRequests` is now 0 right after the
abort, with no `Bun.gc(true)`.
- An earlier revision reclaimed in `on_abort` before `is_dead_request`.
That dropped the claim's ref too early, `finalize_without_deinit`
cleared the body stream ref without erroring it, and a parked
`textStream()` read hung (body.test.ts "rejects when the client aborts
mid-upload server-side"). The reclaim now runs after
`end_request_streaming`.
- A body consumed with `for await (req.body)` stays `Locked`, so
`deinit` still rejects it through `end_request_streaming`. Only a `Used`
body (`textStream()`) needs the sink-branch call. Tests cover both.
- The upgrade case needs an async `server.upgrade()` while the handler
promise parks with a reachable resolve. A sync upgrade has no cell, and
a settled handler releases the claim through `take()`.
- Pre-existing failures seen while running the suites (IPv6 requestIP,
root range port, #6583, /bun:info loopback, bun-server source map on
port 3000, abruptly closed upload, URL buffer leak under ASAN, two
worker terminate tests, 8 websocket-server send timeouts) all reproduce
on a baseline build without this diff.

**root cause** · written by the author bot

When a request handler or stream promise never settles, the
NativePromiseContext cell created to observe it holds a reference on the
request context, so an aborted request's context could only be torn down
when GC collected the promise, and never at VM teardown since the
deferred dereference is skipped during the sweep. This left aborted
requests holding their pool slot, body, streams, sink, and a reference
to the server indefinitely. The fix has the request context remember its
outstanding promise cell and reclaim it, taking the cell's claim and
dereferencing, on abort and every other term…

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 8, 2026
…r req.clone() (#42017)

### Problem
- A `Bun.serve` handler that calls `req.clone()` and reads neither body
leaks about 7.3 KB per request, independent of body size. Full GC keeps
it.
- The root is the `protect()`ed pull promise of the request body's
`ByteStream`. `end_request_streaming`
(`src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs`) reached that stream only
through the body `Value`, and `clone()` re-points `Locked.readable` at a
tee branch. It aborted that reader-less branch (a no-op) and returned
before erroring the source the context holds in
`request_body_readable_stream_ref`. `finalize_without_deinit` then
dropped that ref silently.

### Fix
- `end_request_streaming` rejects a `Locked` body as before, then errors
and releases the `ByteStream` behind `request_body_readable_stream_ref`
whenever that stream has not already ended. `finalize_without_deinit`
leaves the ref to that call.
- Correct because the context is the stream's only producer and nothing
feeds it once request streaming ends. Erroring the source settles the
parked pull and errors both branches, so a pending clone read rejects
with the `AbortError` an un-cloned read already gets.
- Self-reviewed: 2 concerns raised, 2 addressed (a guard so the
non-clone paths do not deliver a second error, and a test for the
client-abort path).
- Verified: three new tests in `test/js/web/fetch/body-clone.test.ts`
fail on 1.4.3 and with `src/` reverted, and pass with the fix.

### Background
- `req.body`, `clone()` and `textStream()` wrap an incoming body in a
native `ByteStream` source that the `RequestContext` feeds from the
socket.
- A pull with nothing buffered parks. Its promise stays `protect()`ed
until the producer settles it, and it roots the whole tee.
- `clone()` tees that stream and each branch pulls at once. A
synchronous handler's response ends before uWS delivers the body bytes,
and `detach_response` stops reading them. So only
`end_request_streaming` can settle that pull.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

- The `has_received_last_chunk` guard keeps the non-clone paths
byte-identical. There, `to_error_instance` reaches the same `ByteStream`
through the body `Value` and errors it first, and the context still
holds its ref. `ByteStream::on_data` does tolerate a repeated
`AbortReason` (the `done` arm returns early, a stored `Err` is a plain
enum value), but the fix does not want to depend on that.
- Repro from the report on release 1.4.3, 20k requests, `req.clone()`
only: `4000:+40MB 8000:+69MB 12000:+97MB 16000:+123MB 20000:+149MB =>
~7811 B/request`. `no-clone`, `clone-consume-clone` and
`clone-consume-original` plateau. `heapStats()` per leaked request: +3
`ReadableStream`, +3 `ReadableStreamDefaultController`, +1
`ReadableStreamDefaultReader`, +1 `BytesInternalReadableStreamSource`,
+1 `NativeStreamSourceAdapter`, +1 `ReadRequest`, +1 `StreamTeeState`,
+1 `Uint8Array`, +3 `Promise`, +3 `FullPromiseReaction`;
`protectedObjectTypeCounts`: +1 `Promise`, +1 `Uint8Array`. That graph
is exactly what the protected pull promise reaches.
- Why the body size does not matter: the response of a synchronous
handler ends inside uWS's request callback, before uWS delivers the body
bytes of the same packet, and `detach_response()` clears the body
handler. The bytes are never buffered; only the tee machinery is
retained.
- `req.body.tee()` done by hand did not leak: the body `Value` still
pointed at the native stream, so `to_error_instance` errored the
`ByteStream` directly. Only the native clone paths
(`Request.prototype.clone`, `BunRequest` clone, with or without `.body`
observed first) re-point the body at a branch. The first new test covers
all three.
- Two tests pin the observable behaviour of a `clone().text()` started
in the handler, for a body the client never sends: it rejects when the
response ends first, and when the client disconnects while the handler
is still parked. Before, both stayed pending forever. `req.text()`
without a clone already rejects in both cases.
- `finalize_without_deinit` is the first place that sees the held ref
when `on_abort` takes the `is_dead_request()` shortcut with a `Used`
(`textStream()`) body. Dropping the ref there left that read pending
too; it now goes through the same erroring path thirty lines later.
- The fetch client's `Response.clone()` with nothing read does not leak
(checked separately, 500 iterations, zero retained streams).
- Suites run on the debug ASAN build:
`test/js/web/fetch/body-clone.test.ts` (65 pass),
`test/js/bun/http/serve-body-leak.test.ts` (15 pass, HTTP/1 and HTTP/2),
`test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts` (295 pass; 2 failures that also fail on
the release binary in this container: root port range, `/bun:info`
loopback), `serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts`,
`serve-pending-promise-abort-leak.test.ts`, `bun-serve-routes.test.ts`,

`body-stream.test.ts`, `body-mixin-errors.test.ts`,
`wpt/textstream-wpt.test.ts`, `fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts`.
- Related open PRs that touch the same function but not this bug: #33524
(keep delivering a late body after the response), #39660 (release the
body slot once complete).

…er a streamed response (#42844)

### Problem
- Over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, a streamed response that the sink ends from
the writable callback never releases its `RequestContext`.
`pendingRequests` stays up and a graceful `stop()` hangs.
- A client controls how often. On one h2c connection with a 4-byte
initial window, 200 of 200 requests leak, and they outlive the
connection.
- `on_abort` (`RequestContext.rs:1468`) sees `has_responded()` and only
drops `resp`. The body stream's reaction then finds no `resp`, so
nothing releases the base ref.

### Fix
- `on_abort` now ends the request there, through
`end_already_responded_stream()`: the HTTP/1 path for a response the
sink ended. That branch can reject a parked request-body read, so the
event loop scope now covers both arms.
- Correct because every other path that clears `resp` also releases the
base ref. The late reaction finds the request ended, and no-ops.
- Verified: 9 new cases in `serve-http3.test.ts` and
`serve-http2.test.ts` fail on main, pass here. Other suites: Notes.
- Self-reviewed: 17 concerns raised, 16 addressed. The last is a
follow-up, named in Notes.

### Background
- A `RequestContext` holds a base ref while `resp` is set. Each end path
clears `resp` and releases it.
- The sink (`HTTPServerWritable`) writes a streamed body and can end the
uWS response itself, for example once flow control reopens. The context
hears of that from the stream's reaction.
- HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 free a stream once both sides finish. uWS reports
that through `onAborted`, also after a complete response. It is the last
call on `resp`.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

- The ASAN lane's signature for this is `Direct leak of 15 byte(s)` from
`RequestContext::on_buffered_body_chunk` (`RequestContext.rs:4249`).
- Found by the ASAN lane in build 115959 on
`test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts`: all tests pass, then
LeakSanitizer reports the buffered request body (`request-content`, 15
bytes). The pool slot of the context is not visible to LeakSanitizer.
Only the buffered body bytes are, so the report needs a request body.
The leak itself does not: a plain GET leaks the context too.
- Every streamed body shape leaks: a `ReadableStream`, a direct
`ReadableStream`, and an async generator. A string body does not use the
sink and does not leak (checked on main).
- The leak reproduces on the release build. Script: `Bun.serve({ tls,
http3: true, fetch: () => new Response(new ReadableStream({ async
pull(c) { c.enqueue(bytes); c.close(); } })) })`, one `fetch(..., {
protocol: "http3" })`, then read `server.pendingRequests`. Before: 1,
and `await server.stop()` hangs. After: 0, and `stop()` resolves in a
few ms.
- The ordering a reviewer would want checked is the nested one:
`on_abort` firing while `do_render_stream` is still on the stack.
`server.stop(true)` inside `pull()` after the sink ended the response
drives it. The debug log shows `doRenderStream -> onAbort ->
endAlreadyRespondedStream -> aborted while attaching the stream ->
deinit`, so the arm ends the request, `discard_stream_after_abort`
cleans up the sink the arm left behind, and the context is freed only
after the outer frame unwinds. Clean under ASAN, and a late
`controller.write()` after the teardown still fails with the normal
closed-sink error. It leaks on main (`pendingRequests` 1) and is the
ninth new case.
- `wrapper.sink.res = None` in that arm: the sink outlives the call on
this path and its `finalize()` reads `res` unless the sink is done. I
could not build a case that dereferences the freed handle, because the
JS wrapper rejects a call on a closed controller first, and removing the
line changed nothing under ASAN. It is kept because it matches what the
sink's own `abort()` does (`streams.rs:1974`) and keeps the guard local
instead of resting on a cross-file invariant.
- Measured amplification, one h2c connection, client-chosen 4-byte
initial window, N=200 sequential requests: on the pre-fix binary
`pendingRequests` 200, 201 `Response` objects retained after
`Bun.gc(true)`, still 200 after the socket closes, graceful `stop()`
hangs. On this branch: 0, 1, 0, and `stop()` resolves. `http2` and
`http3` both default to false, so only a server that opts in is
affected.
- A stress run (10 body shapes, 160 requests on one H3 server, client
aborts mixed in) leaves `pendingRequests` at 64 on main and at 0 with
this change. It is clean under ASAN.
- Follow-ups this PR deliberately leaves out, so it stays at the
one-line lifetime fix: a notification from the sink to its context when
it ends a response (that is what would also fix the HTTP/1 twin above),
a re-entrancy guard in `EventLoop::drain_microtasks_with_global` of the
kind already in `VirtualMachine.rs`, and the drain-ordering question in
the same helper. The last two are helper-wide and already reachable on
main over HTTP/1.
- Relation to #39660 (open): that PR releases the context's ref on the
request body slot after the last chunk. In this repro the last chunk
arrives (`onBufferedBodyChunk 0 true`), so with #39660 the 15 bytes are
freed and LeakSanitizer goes quiet. The `RequestContext` still leaks and
`server.stop()` still hangs. The two changes do not overlap. The new
tests assert on `server.pendingRequests` and `server.stop()`, so they
fail on main with or without #39660.
- Audit of the rule "a path that clears `resp` also releases the base
ref". Four sites clear `resp` on main. `detach_response()`: each of its
12 callers ends in `deref()` or `RequestContextRef::adopt`, or is
`deinit` at refcount 0. `end_already_responded_stream()`: `take()`, then
`deref()`. The WebSocket upgrade (`server_body.rs:2012`): `set(None)`,
then `reclaim_promise_cell()` and `deref()`. The `has_responded()`
branch of `on_abort` (`RequestContext.rs:1471` on main): `set(None)`,
then `return`. It was the one exception. `discard_stream_after_abort`
already relies on the rule.
- Why not fix the reaction (`handle_resolve_stream`): when the pump
promise never settles it never runs. A direct stream whose `pull()`
awaits forever after an asynchronous `controller.end()` leaks on main
and is fixed here for H2/H3 (the last two new cases). The end has to
come from a later microtask: an end inside the first `pull()` leaves the
response already finished when the stream is attached, which takes a
different path and does not leak.
- HTTP/1 has the same never-settling shape and still leaks it after this
change (3 requests, `pendingRequests` 1, 2, 3, graceful `stop()` hangs,
measured on this branch). An HTTP/1 socket is not freed per request, so
there is no equivalent notification to hook. That needs the sink to tell
its context when it ends a response, which is a larger change and a
follow-up.
- lsquic debug log for the first response: `qenc-hdl: not all 0 bytes of
encoder stream written out; 1 bytes buffered`, `stream: stashed 49 bytes
of header block`, `stream: still sending headers: no writing allowed`.
The next write pass sends the block and calls the writable callback,
where the sink ends the response. `service_streams` then calls
`on_close` in the same `process_conns`. A handler that answers from a
timer writes directly, so it does not hit this. A second request on a
warm connection does not hit it either.
- HTTP/2: `Http2Response::tryEnd` returns false when the stream window
is too small. The sink then finishes from `onWritable`, reached from
`epilogue -> pump -> drainWritable` in the socket event that carried the
WINDOW_UPDATE. `sweepConnection` in the same epilogue calls `onAborted`.
The new test drives this with the raw frame client:
`SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE = 4`, then one `WINDOW_UPDATE`.
- The order inside one microtask checkpoint is: JS microtasks, then the
deferred tasks (HTTP/2 sweep), then `drain_quic_if_necessary` (HTTP/3).
So a response that the sink ends from JS is always detached by the
reaction first. Only an end from a native callback loses the race.
- `wrapper.sink.res = None`: the sink keeps a raw copy of `resp`. If a
frame up the stack keeps the context alive, the sink survives this call,
and `HTTPServerWritable::start()` reads `res` without a `done` check.
The abort path clears it for the same reason.
- Behaviour that does not change: `req.signal` does not fire for a
stream that closes after a complete response. A rejection of the body
stream that arrives after the stream closed is still not reported on
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
- Suites run on the debug ASAN build: `serve-http3` (69), `serve-http2`
(91), `serve-http2-lifecycle` (23), `serve-http2-protocol` (201),
`serve-protocols`, `fetch-http3-client`, `fetch-http3-cold-post`,
`fetch-http3-adversarial`, `serve-direct-readable-stream`,
`serve-async-stream-client-abort`, `serve-pending-promise-abort-leak`,
`serve-response-gc-backpressure-abort`,
`serve-response-stream-sink-leak`, `serve-stream-reject-flush-leak`,
`serve-stream-body-error`, `serve-error-handler-stream`,
`async-iterator-stream`. The new cases also pass with `detect_leaks=1`
and the CI LeakSanitizer options.
