…e cross-device fallback The EXDEV fallback preallocates the destination to the source's st_size and then copies to EOF. A source that holds fewer bytes than st_size (it shrank during the move, or it is a sysfs file) left the destination at st_size with a zero-filled tail, and the source was then unlinked. Truncate the destination to the bytes copied before the unlink.

Handle truncation failures before removing the source.
When preallocate_file extends the destination and copied is smaller than st.st_size, a failed bun_sys::ftruncate leaves the destination tail in place. The code then removes the source. Return the error and remove the destination first.

Learning: When using Bun's `bun_sys::File` in Rust code, rely on its ownership semantics: dropping a `File` closes valid non-stdio file descriptors, and `File::close(self)` is equivalent to dropping it while returning the close syscall result. Do not add an explicit `close()` call when a local `File` leaves scope on an error path unless the caller must observe a close error.

Correction: my reply above is wrong. Commit dd57331 never reached this branch. The push failed and I did not check the remote before I replied. The head (add2728) still discards the ftruncate result, so this finding is not addressed here. I reopened the thread. This pull request is closed in favor of #44425, which keeps the file size when it preallocates, so no trim is needed.

@robobun Thanks for the correction. My earlier confirmation was incorrect: dd57331 did not reach this branch, and add27283 still ignores the ftruncate result. The finding remains valid and unaddressed in this PR.
As you explained, #44425 supersedes this closed PR and preserves the file size during preallocation, so that approach does not need truncation.

Learning: In Bun test files that exercise Bun.build(), assertions for configuration-validation errors thrown synchronously by JSBundler.fromJS() (via globalThis.throwInvalidArguments()) should use toThrow, e.g., expect(() => Bun.build({...})).toThrow()).

Learning: In Bun's test suites, avoid adding tests for trivial environment/fixture script validation (e.g., checking if env vars exist) within test fixtures. Focus test coverage on actual behavior being tested (e.g., TLS keepalive, memory leaks) rather than auxiliary fixture validation. If a test file is primarily for fixtures, skip or limit tests that validate simple JS behavior like if (!env) throw; prioritize meaningful end-to-end or unit behavior instead.

Learning: In Bun's test runner, describe.concurrent is supported (since Bun v1.2.23). Use describe.concurrent/test.concurrent for concurrent tests. Be aware of limitations: expect.assertions() and expect.hasAssertions() are not supported; toMatchSnapshot() is not supported (toMatchInlineSnapshot() is); and beforeAll/afterAll hooks are not executed concurrently. The broader guideline to prefer concurrent tests over sequential tests using test.concurrent or describe.concurrent remains valid and should be applied to test files such as test/cli/run/concurrency-filter.test.ts and similar test files.

Learning: In test/cli/run/concurrency-filter.test.ts and similar test files, timing-sensitive tests that assert on wall-clock elapsed time to verify concurrency behavior (e.g., expect(elapsed).toBeGreaterThan(800)) must remain in a sequential describe block rather than describe.concurrent. Running such tests concurrently can cause CPU contention and skew timing assertions, leading to flaky results. The guideline to prefer describe.concurrent does NOT apply for timing-based correctness verification.

Learning: In Bun test files, when a resource like tempDir is a DisposableString implementing both Symbol.dispose (sync) and Symbol.asyncDispose, prefer plain using over await using. Do not recommend converting to await using for tempDir in Bun test files. This keeps tests idiomatic and avoids unnecessary async disposal. If a resource only supports asyncDispose, use await using.

Timestamp: 2026-04-04T19:43:49.607Z
Learning: When reviewing Node/TypeScript code that uses `node:path.join()`, do not treat a later path segment that starts with `/` as a Windows/absolute-path override bug. `path.join()` concatenates segments and normalizes; it only resets the root when using `path.resolve()` (e.g., when it encounters an absolute-looking segment). Therefore, patterns like `join(base, "/relPath")` or `join(homedir(), env.slice(1))` where `env.slice(1)` becomes `"/WebKit"` are expected to produce `base/relPath` (cross-platform). Only flag cases where `path.resolve()` (or other root-resetting logic) is used in a way that could unintentionally ignore the base path.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun tests, prefer `tempDir` (from the `harness` module) over `tempDirWithFiles` when using the `using` statement for automatic cleanup. `tempDirWithFiles(...)` returns a plain `string`, so `using tempDirWithFiles(...)` is effectively a no-op and will not trigger disposal/cleanup. `tempDir` returns a `DisposableString` that implements `Symbol.dispose`, so it will correctly trigger cleanup on scope exit.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun test files (matching `test/**/*.test.ts`), when you spawn a subprocess in a bun:test and you assert on its exit code, follow the CLAUDE.md house style: write `if (exitCode !== 0) { expect(stderr).toBe(""); }` immediately before `expect(exitCode).toBe(0)`. This is intentional so that, on failure, bun:test surfaces the full `stderr` content in the diff output. Do not replace this with a custom/second assertion that formats stderr into the exit-code expectation (e.g., `expect(exitCode, \\`stderr: ${stderr}\\`).toBe(0)` or any single-assertion equivalent).

If the issue is not confirmed per CLAUDE.md (“confirmed numbered issue” only), the test should be placed next to the closest related existing test file for the affected feature/module (e.g., alongside `test/js/bun/util/v8-heap-snapshot.test.ts`) and should not be flagged as a guideline violation. Likewise, tests that validate a broader behavioral invariant (e.g., V8-matching 1024-char string truncation in heap snapshots) are not purely issue regressions and should live with the feature’s existing test suite rather than under `test/regression/issue/`.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun Jest/Bun test files under `test/js/` that spawn subprocesses using `bunEnv` from the `harness` module, it’s safe and intentional to assert `expect(stderr).toBe("")` unconditionally. `bunEnv` sets `BUN_DEBUG_QUIET_LOGS=1`, which suppresses ASAN/debug-build stderr noise, so an unexpected stderr value should fail the test and show useful diagnostics. Do not gate `expect(stderr).toBe("")` behind `if (exitCode !== 0)` for these `bunEnv`-based subprocess tests—follow the established pattern used in similar tests (e.g., `test/js/node/tls/test-use-system-ca.test.ts`).

Learning: When testing `bun build` subprocesses in `test/js/bun/**/*.test.ts`, it is acceptable to assert `expect(stderr).toBe("")` (or otherwise expect no stderr noise). `bun build` is compiler-only and does not start a JS VM, so it should not emit the ASAN warning about interfering with JSC signal handlers. Only JS-executing subprocesses (e.g., `bun -e`, running built output like `bun out.js`) are expected to produce that warning, so do not treat empty-stderr assertions as brittle specifically for `bun build` in these tests.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun TypeScript test files, it is acceptable to use `Bun.sleep(0)` specifically as a macrotask barrier to deterministically drain the pending microtask queue before asserting. Do NOT flag `Bun.sleep(0)` as a timing-wait violation. The “do not use setTimeout/Bun.sleep in tests” guideline is intended to prevent load-sensitive wall-clock delays (e.g., `Bun.sleep(100)` or other timing windows). Use `Bun.sleep(0)` only when you need to observe a fully settled Promise/microtask chain (e.g., after deferred resolution and multiple internal `.then()` hops) where a single `await Promise.resolve()` would not advance far enough; `Bun.sleep(0)` resumes in a later macrotask after pending microtasks complete, without relying on elapsed time.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun code reviews, do not recommend adding standalone regression tests that depend on setting `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1` to exercise JSC throw-scope/exception-scope validator paths (e.g., PropertyCallback/reify interactions like `reifyAllStaticProperties`). Per `CLAUDE.md`, tests are expected to pass with `USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1`, and `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks` is a no-op on release/system Bun builds. Instead, treat this class of validator coverage issue as covered by: (1) the x64-asan CI shard that enables the validator automatically, and (2) the `test/no-validate-exceptions.txt` opt-out list for tests that hit pre-existing throw-scope assertion failures unrelated to the change under review. If helpful, add an in-source comment pointing to the specific existing exerciser (e.g., the relevant `tsgo/bun-types` test) to document the intent without relying on the env var.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun test files under `test/**/*.test.ts`, when a test uses the `tempDir` fixture and spawns a subprocess via `await using proc = Bun.spawn(...)` (i.e., the embedded script runs as a spawned subprocess), do not recommend adding a fixture-level or embedded-script `setTimeout` watchdog to prevent hangs. The `await using` scope exit should terminate the subprocess automatically, and Bun test per-test timeouts already bound execution time. Also, avoid embedded `setTimeout` watchdog patterns that violate Bun’s “no setTimeout in tests” guideline. If the worker/subprocess exits silently without posting, rely on the test’s stdout/exitCode assertions plus Bun’s outer timeout rather than a watchdog, even when the embedded fixture script uses `worker_threads` or other async constructs.

Do not flag this `test.skipIf(!isDebug)` as a guideline violation for this class of tests. The debug-only `[alloc] ...` lines are absent in release and ASAN builds, and there is no equivalent observable system-Bun hook to assert a leak when only debug-build instrumentation exists (so the `USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1` rule in `CLAUDE.md` does not apply in this situation).

Learning: In oven-sh/bun tests, when using the `harness` module’s `tempDir`, prefer the overload that accepts an optional second argument: `tempDir(prefix, fileTree)`, where `fileTree` is an object in the same shape as `tempDirWithFiles` (e.g., `{ "file.c": "..." }`). This creates a disposable temp directory pre-populated with files. If the `tempDir` file-tree overload is available, don’t recommend a separate manual `fs.writeFile`/write step for pre-populating files (e.g., when using `using dir = tempDir("prefix", { ... })`).

Learning: In oven-sh/bun’s Bun test files under test/js/bun/, do not treat explicit per-test timeouts as a guideline violation when the test is an RSS-leak regression that spawns a subprocess and performs many iterations (subprocess-heavy leak tests). For these cases, Bun’s default per-test timeout (5s locally) is insufficient—especially under debug+ASAN where these tests may take ~5–14s—so reviewers should expect and accept an explicit, larger per-test timeout (e.g., 60_000). Concretely, tests like the cc() option-string leak test (test/js/bun/ffi/cc.test.ts) and glob-leak tests (e.g., test/js/bun/glob/leak.test.ts) should be reviewed as exceptions: allow explicit timeouts when the intent is to cover RSS-leak/subprocess-heavy regression workloads.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun tests under test/js/bun/**, prefer strict stderr assertions like `expect(stderr).toBe("")` for subprocesses spawned with `bunExe()` when you pass a `bunEnv` that already propagates `ASAN_OPTIONS=allow_user_segv_handler=1` from the parent `bun bd` build environment (this suppresses the `WARNING: ASAN interferes with JSC signal handlers` message). On CI ASAN lanes where `isASAN` is true, `bunEnv` sets `isASAN` explicitly as well—so strict stderr expectations are still safe. Only relax/skip strict stderr assertions (e.g., avoid `toBe("")`) when `ASAN_OPTIONS=allow_user_segv_handler=1` is *not* propagated into the subprocess environment.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun regression tests for UAFs tied to Bun’s threadpool/event-loop interaction (e.g., WalkTask pending activity), keep the intended repro timing: use `Bun.sleepSync(N)` inside a spawned subprocess to hold the JS event loop without yielding/draining pending tasks, then trigger `Bun.gc(true)` (after the threadpool task has been given time to complete `run()`), and finally drive the result with the corresponding `for await`/iterator consumption to make the UAF observable. Do not replace `Bun.sleepSync(N)` with `await Bun.sleep(0)` or any other event-loop-yielding construct, since it can drain pending concurrent tasks and cause callbacks/`then()` work to run before the GC call, making the bug unobservable. This “sleepSync → gc(true) → for await” sequence is the correct 3-step UAF repro pattern for this bug class.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun tests/fixtures that spawn subprocesses with `BUN_DEBUG_alloc` (or `BUN_DEBUG_ALL`) set to a non-zero value (e.g., `"1"`), the `[alloc]` log scope is effectively enabled at runtime for all `bun.new`/`bun.destroy`-allocated types. Because the runtime check in `src/output.zig` forces `really_disable = false` when `BUN_DEBUG_<tagname>` is not `"0"`, such fixtures may emit `[alloc] new(T)` / `[alloc] destroy(T)` lines even when `T` does not declare `log_allocations = true`. In this context, do not flag missing `log_allocations` declarations as a bug in the test fixture or the involved fixture types.

Learning: When reviewing JavaScript/TypeScript regex literals, treat `\b` as an escaped backslash followed by `b` (i.e., it matches a literal backslash and then `b`), not the regex word-boundary metacharacter. The word-boundary metacharacter is an unescaped `\b` in the source code (i.e., `\b` in the pattern string/literal syntax), which has word-boundary semantics.
So: do not flag `\b` inside a regex as a word-boundary issue by default. Only flag `\b` when the intent is to match a literal backslash+`b` and word-boundary semantics would be incorrect. Example: `/^\\\.\\pipe\\/` (as written) matches the Windows named-pipe prefix `\\.\pipe\`.

In this design, the `.filter()` is what stabilizes the snapshot across `Execution.Result` variants; adding `normalizeBunSnapshot` would unnecessarily retain extra output (stack traces, repeated failures block, summaries), making snapshots ~3x larger and more fragile.

Therefore, tests asserting round-trip behavior of `\uFFFE` should expect `""` (not `"\uFFFE"`).

Since `ArrayBufferSink.write(chunk)` is fully synchronous (bytes are already copied into the sink buffer before it returns), post-write mutation will pass for both old and new code and does not prove the fix; race-based Worker tests also tend to be timing/Atomics-sensitive and are considered flaky in this repo. Instead, follow the pattern in `test/js/bun/util/arraybuffersink.test.ts`: use guard bytes around the view (e.g., `0xff`) and assert that `sink.end()` output contains only the exact intended view range (no data outside the view), which validates the snapshot boundary without any concurrency.

Because the process aborts, it won’t print the expected stdout and typically exits nonzero, so `expect(stdout).toBe(expectedOutput)` and `expect(exitCode).toBe(0)` (or the appropriate expected nonzero/abort behavior) are sufficient to detect the regression. A negative stderr matcher can cause false failures due to benign ASAN startup notes on stderr. If you want diagnostics, use `if (exitCode !== 0) console.error('stderr:', stderr)` so stderr is printed only when the test fails. This guideline is for the “abort-on-UAF” case; in other cases (e.g., scenarios where ASAN reports but the process can still exit 0), stderr assertions may be appropriate.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun EMFILE/resource-limit regression tests that spawn subprocesses (where the fd limit is set low, e.g. via `ulimit -n 128`), avoid strict assertions on the *outer* process’s `stderr` (e.g., `expect(outerStderr).toBe("")` or `toBe("bun: Too many open files\n")`). The low fd limit can cause extra ASAN/sanitizer/runtime noise on the outer fd=2 and make tests flaky.
Instead, assert against the expected fd-stderr behavior on the captured `stderr` from the specific inner operation:
- For `.quiet()` tests: use `expect(stderr).not.toContain("error:")` to guard against pre-fix uncaught-exception output without over-constraining.
- For non-quiet fd-stderr tests: use `expect(stderr).toContain("bun: Too many open files\n")` and `expect(stderr).not.toContain("error:")`—this positively verifies the expected write while still guarding against unexpected exception output.
Rely on the strongest invariant by matching the inner `Bun.$` result via its `stdout` containing the JSON-serialized `{ exitCode: 1, stdout: "", stderr: "bun: Too many open files\n" }`.

Learning: When reviewing Bun RSS-delta leak fixture tests under test/js/bun/**, do not treat the specific pattern `Bun.gc(true)` → `await Bun.sleep(10)` (event-loop yield) → `Bun.gc(true)` as a flakiness/timing problem. This is an intentional macrotask-barrier to drain finalizers enqueued by the first synchronous full GC sweep. The underlying leaked objects are native-refcounted `WTFStringImpl`s whose freeing happens synchronously when the JS wrapper string is collected, so the test outcome should not depend on wall-clock settling. Therefore, do not flag this double-GC + sleep(10) sequence or recommend replacing it with polling/condition-based alternatives in these fixtures.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun subprocess-related tests, there’s an intentional convention to verify parsed stdout together with `stderr` and `exitCode` in a *single* assertion by spreading the parsed stdout result and then adding `stderr`/`exitCode`, e.g. `expect({ ...result, stderr, exitCode }).toEqual({ ... })`. Do not flag `exitCode` for being inside the combined object (or for not being asserted as a separate “final” assertion) when it’s part of this single combined `toEqual` pattern. The “assert exitCode last” guidance applies only to sequential, separate assertions, not to this combined-object repo convention.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun regression tests (e.g., tests that exercise Bun server/HTTP flows) where the expected failure mode is a native debug assertion abort that terminates the process before JS can run (commonly a SIGABRT with exitCode 134 and native messages like `Assertion '...' failed` from uSockets/libuv), assert stderr as `expect.any(String)` in the combined `toEqual`/deep equality rather than asserting `stderr: ""`. These native/ASAN crash diagnostics may appear on stderr even when the test is considered to be passing due to the known abort path. Use the test’s reliable detection signals (e.g., stdout being empty/wrong plus non-zero exitCode) to determine the expected behavior, so the stderr expectation is not brittle.

Do not apply the separate rule about using `setTimeout(r, N)` with `N >= 20ms` that was intended for receive-side TCP counter sampling—its rationale (needing real network progress between samples) does not apply to send-buffer drain polling via `bufferedAmount`.

Do not automatically flag this as a violation of a general “avoid setting timeouts on tests” rule when the timeout is there to make the GC regression reliable: the collector runs on a dedicated thread and child/spawned tests can become slow and highly variable on debug/ASAN and loaded CI agents, so shortening iteration counts can make the reproduction fail intermittently.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun tests, when a regression is only observable under JSC assert/validator builds (i.e., it deterministically fails only via the debug/assert abort from Bun’s validator/JSC checks), it’s acceptable to add a spawned-child test that sets `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1` to enable the validator path—even if `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks` is a no-op under `USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1` release binaries. In this situation, do not require a user-visible variant/test output when the only deterministic failure signal is the validator/assert abort, and when Bun’s lazy property initializers can’t be forced to throw deterministically.

Only do this when: (1) the release/CI timeout budget remains at its default (i.e., don’t increase global budgets), (2) evidence shows the slowdown under debug+ASAN is instrumentation overhead rather than a workload/algorithm regression (e.g., the same behavior is measured before/after the change under review), and (3) the repo already has precedent for this approach.

This behavior is intentionally mirroring glibc’s `fcntl64.c`, which reads the 3rd argument unconditionally for every command. Only gate/alter vararg consumption if you can prove you’re preserving forwarding of any other `fcntl` commands the host process may issue (e.g., `F_SETFL`) without dropping/losing required arguments. The unconditional read is acceptable in this specific interposer-forwarding context because the host issues multiple `fcntl` calls through the same interposed function.

In code review, require an explicit per-test `timeout` (e.g., `30_000`) for tests that intentionally keep a raw socket open or otherwise run longer than the default bounded observation window (e.g., regression checks using `idleTimeout: 0` where “nothing should happen” over ~20s). If the file has a local `test()` helper wrapper with a default timeout (e.g., `{ timeout: timeout ?? 10000 }`), override it for these long observation tests so bare/local runs don’t fail due to Bun’s default.

Learning: In Bun test files under `test/**/*.test.ts`, allow an explicit per-test timeout in the `test(name, fn, <ms>)` call when CI-level timeouts are not applied (i.e., the test is run directly via `bun test <file>` without the repo’s build-aware runner in `scripts/runner.node.mjs`). In that direct-invocation path, Bun’s default timeout (~5000ms) can be too short for integration-style tests that spawn a Bun process and perform real WebSocket/socket handshakes and many event round-trips (e.g., similar to `test/cli/inspect/test-reporter.test.ts`). Don’t treat this as a blanket permission: avoid per-test timeouts for hang-guard or flaky-timing issues where the CI runner’s `--timeout` should be sufficient; prefer fixes that make the test deterministic unless a longer wall-clock budget is required for the real integration behavior.

Learning: For Bun test files using `bun:test`, prefer setting `setDefaultTimeout()` to a value scaled for CI/debug sanitizers rather than a flat timeout. In this repo, the effective timeout resolution order is per-test option > `setDefaultTimeout()` > CLI `--timeout`; when running tests directly (e.g., `bun bd test <file>`), the CLI budget may not be the build-aware/ASAN-scaled one, so a flat default can be too low for subprocess-spawning tests. Use the established pattern (as in `test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts` and `test-changed.test.ts`), e.g. `setDefaultTimeout(isASAN || isDebug ? 120_000 : 60_000)`, especially for test files that spawn subprocesses.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun test files under `test/**/*.test.ts`, it is acceptable to keep a `setTimeout` inside a spawned child-process fixture as a regression-specific hang detector. The timeout should (1) print useful diagnostics to subprocess stdout/stderr, and (2) cause the child process to exit non-zero only when the child’s expected “close/termination” condition fails. In this scenario, do not flag the `setTimeout` as a prohibited test-level timeout; instead, ensure the parent test still generally awaits concrete conditions and relies on the child’s stdout/exit code to surface the hang rather than hitting an outer test-runner timeout.

For example, in test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts, the `createWriteStream` short-write regression test’s `const writes: Array<{ length: number; position: unknown }> = [];` appears only once in the current file, so it should not be treated as a duplicate.

Learning: When reviewing Bun JS/TS tests in this repo, don’t recommend removing or sanitizer-scaling an explicit per-test timeout just because the test runner applies an outer per-file/build-aware timeout.
Bun has its own intrinsic ~5000ms default per test; the repo’s `scripts/runner.node.mjs` only adds an outer timeout and does not replace Bun’s per-test default. Therefore, if a stress test sets an explicit larger per-test timeout (e.g., 20000ms for directory-cache stress), treat that value as intentional and only change it if there’s a concrete, test-specific reason beyond the existence of the outer timeout.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun TypeScript test files, do not flag a bare GitHub issue URL immediately above an issue-backed regression test when the test name includes the matching issue number and the format follows local conventions. REVIEW.md prefers linking GitHub issues in comments; examples include the #20258 and #25659 regression cases in test/js/node/fs/fs-path-length.test.ts.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I checked two things: the discarded let _ = bun_sys::ftruncate(...) result matches this function's existing best-effort pattern (preallocate_file, fchown, fchmod, and the pre-copy unlinkat all discard results the same way), so it's consistent with local convention rather than a new swallowed-error defect; and the new test's await $\mv ...`.quiet()won't throw on the expected non-zero exit because$.nothrow()is set file-wide at the top ofmv.test.ts`.
Extended reasoning...
The confirmed inline finding covers the FICLONE-path TOCTOU where re-statting the source after a reflink can truncate the destination below what was cloned. The one ruled-out candidate in this run was the same TOCTOU framed slightly differently, so it adds nothing new. From my own read of the diff I checked two adjacent concerns a reviewer applying REVIEW.md would raise: the discarded ftruncate result (REVIEW.md flags discarded I/O results, but here it sits alongside four other let _ = best-effort calls in the same function, so it follows the file's established convention), and whether the test would throw before reaching its assertions since mv is expected to exit non-zero — it won't, because $.nothrow() is applied globally at line 25 of the test file. Neither rises to a finding, but both are worth recording so a human reviewer doesn't re-derive them.

🟡 (optional) The pos == 0 fallback re-stats the source, which races with a concurrent writer: on a btrfs/XFS cross-subvolume move, FICLONE snapshots the full source into out, then if the source is truncated before this fstat(in_) runs, copied becomes the shrunken size and ftruncate(out, copied) discards the tail FICLONE just cloned — the base branch kept the full snapshot. Fix: derive the fallback length from the destination, not the source — bun_sys::fstat(out.fd()) — since out is a freshly-created inode only this process holds and its st_size after FICLONE is exactly the cloned length; no other case regresses.
Extended reasoning...
Path: renameat across btrfs subvolumes → EXDEV → move_across_devices. Line 595 fstat(in_) records st.st_size = N. Line 609 fallocates out to N. copy_file at line 610 hits ioctl_ficlone (src/sys/copy_file.rs:128), which succeeds on same-superblock subvolumes and returns without touching either fd's offset — out now holds an N-byte reflink snapshot. Line 618 lseek(in_, 0, SEEK_CUR) → 0, so the guard falls through to line 620 fstat(in_.fd()). Between the ioctl and this fstat another process truncates the source to M < N. copied = M, M < N → line 623 ftruncate(out, M) drops N-M bytes that were correctly cloned, then line 632 unlinks the source. On the base branch there was no post-copy truncate, so out stayed at the N-byte FICLONE snapshot. fstat(out.fd()) avoids this because out was just created after unlinkat (line 602) with O_CREAT|O_TRUNC and nobody else holds it; after FICLONE its st_size is the snapshot length regardless of what later happens to the source, and for the non-FICLONE pos==0 cases (empty file, macOS fcopyfile) it yields the same…
Verification: normal — the FICLONE fallback introduces a TOCTOU data-loss regression the base branch does not have. Reachability of FICLONE in move_across_devices: - bun_sys::copy_file (src/sys/lib.rs:7716) → copy_file::copy_file (src/sys/copy_file.rs:247-249) creates a fresh CopyFileState::default() each call, so HAS_SEEN_EXDEV is NOT set even though this path is reached via a rename EXDEV. -… | nit…

Done in dd57331. The fstat fallback is gone. When the position is 0 (FICLONE) the destination is left as the clone produced it.

Correction: my reply above is wrong. Commit dd57331 never reached this branch, so the head (add2728) still has the fstat(in_) fallback and the race you describe. I reopened the thread. This pull request is closed in favor of #44425. That change keeps the file size when it preallocates, so the trim and its fallback are not needed.

Closing: this is covered by #44425.
A correction to the record here: three review replies say "Done in dd57331". That commit never reached this branch. The push failed and I did not check the remote. The head (add2728) does not contain those three changes. I corrected each thread and reopened it. If #44425 does not land, reopen this pull request. It then needs the three review changes before a merge. |

mvfalls back to copy and unlink whenrenamereturnsEXDEV.move_across_devicesinsrc/runtime/shell/builtin/mv.rs:609preallocates the destination to the source'sst_size, thenbun_sys::copy_filecopies to EOF. Nothing trims the destination. A source that holds fewer bytes thanst_sizeleaves a zero-filled tail, and the source is then unlinked with exit code 0.fallocate(dst, 6291456),sendfile = 1048576,sendfile = 0,unlink(src), noftruncate. A sysfs file (st_size4096, a few bytes of content): the destination is 4096 bytes with 4090 NULs.Fix
copy_filesucceeds, read the source position withlseek(SEEK_CUR).copy_file_range,sendfile, and the read/write loop advance it by the bytes they copied. IfFICLONEdid the copy the position stays at 0, so fall back tofstat(src).st_size.st_size,ftruncatethe destination to it. The destination was openedO_TRUNCby this code, so the trim cannot discard user data.fs.copyFile(node_fs.rs,ftruncate(wrote)) and theBun.writecopy path (Bun.write(path, Bun.file(fd)): trim the preallocated destination to the bytes copied #41487) do after a preallocated copy. coreutilsmvalso produces a file of the content length.test/js/bun/shell/commands/mv.test.ts(new test, fails on bun 1.4.3 with a 4096 byte destination). The rest ofmv.test.tspasses.Background
preallocate_fileisfallocate(2)on Linux. It reserves and zero-fillslenbytes so a large copy does not fragment. On other platforms it is a no-op.bun_sys::copy_filetriesioctl(FICLONE), thencopy_file_range, thensendfile, then a read/write loop, until the kernel reports EOF. It returnsResult<()>, not a byte count.Notes
The test uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/onlinebecause it is the one deterministic Linux file whosest_sizeexceeds its content. Its unlink fails, somvexits non-zero, but the copy has already run, and the destination must hold exactly the content. The shrinking-file shape needs a race and is not tested.Repro under bun 1.4.3:
