…holds The recursive walk opened each directory with O_NOFOLLOW but removed the entries inside it by re-resolving the full multi-component path from the shell cwd (unlinkat(cwd, "T/a/f3", 0)). If an intermediate component was swapped to a symlink between the open and those calls, the kernel followed it and the delete escaped the operand tree into an unrelated directory. Each DirTask now keeps its directory fd open until the child tasks queued from it have run, and every open, unlink and rmdir below the operand is *at(parent_fd, bare_name) with O_NOFOLLOW. A swapped ancestor can no longer redirect it. The number of directories held open this way is bounded: past 64, subdirectories are removed depth-first on the spot instead of queued. Entries whose full path exceeds PATH_MAX are now removed instead of failing with ENAMETOOLONG, since the syscalls no longer take the joined path.
…the open The last child of a waiting directory removes it and then finishes it the same way. post_run now climbs that chain iteratively instead of by recursion, since tree depth is bounded only by the fd limit now. Also: skip the open once another worker has failed, attach the display path to the inline rmdir error, and state the fd budget's limits.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it's a security fix that reworks fd lifetime and refcount handling in the concurrent rm -rf walker (~500 lines of raw-pointer/atomics code), a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- Every open/unlink/rmdir site now goes through
anchor_dirfd+ bareanchor_name(or the iterator's own fd + entry name); no leftover full-path resolutions fromself.cwdbelow the operand root. dir_fdlifetime: parent fd stays open while any child holds asubtask_countslot; closed viaclose_dir_fdbefore self-rmdir on both paths, withDropas the abort-path backstop.- The
post_runrecursion→loop rewrite preserves the old semantics (delete_after_waiting_for_childrenrestoressubtask_count=1/need_to_wait=false, next iteration finishes the parent exactly as the removed recursive call did). open_dirsRelaxed ordering andINLINE_DEPTHthread-local are heuristic-only (never gate correctness); inline child runs while the parent still holds its own count so it cannot free the caller underneath.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes a TOCTOU symlink-swap vulnerability in Bun shell's rm -rf builtin (src/runtime/shell/builtin/rm.rs). The recursive walk previously opened each directory with O_NOFOLLOW but then removed entries by re-resolving the full multi-component path from the shell cwd, so a concurrently-swapped ancestor could redirect deletes outside the operand tree. The fix stores each opened directory's fd in a new DirTask::dir_fd and resolves every child open/unlink/rmdir as *at(parent_fd, bare_name). Supporting changes: an open_dirs atomic counter with OPEN_DIR_BUDGET=64 switches to inline depth-first walking to bound held fds; a MAX_INLINE_DEPTH=32 thread-local caps worker-stack recursion; post_run becomes iterative to climb ancestor chains without stack overflow; DirTask gains a Drop fd backstop; RemoveFileParent's macOS re-enqueue path is removed; ELOOP is handled alongside ENOTDIR for BSDs. src/sys/lib.rs adds a Windows Name::as_zstr() (trailing NUL in the cached UTF-8, stripped from slice_u8()). Tests add a concurrent ancestor-swap repro, a wide-tree-under-ulimit -n 256 test, and flip the deep-tree test from expecting ENAMETOOLONG to expecting removal.
Security risks
The change itself is a security hardening — it closes a real file-deletion escape. The risks to review are whether the fix is complete (every syscall below the root goes through the held-fd anchor, not just some) and whether the new fd-lifetime and inline-execution paths introduce their own hazards. I traced every unlinkat/rmdirat/shell_openat in the changed functions: remove_entry_dir opens against anchor_dirfd+anchor_name, iterated entries unlink against the just-opened fd+current.name.as_zstr(), the inline final rmdir uses dirfd+name, remove_entry_dir_after_children uses anchor_dirfd+anchor_name, and remove_entry_file now takes dirfd/name explicitly from every caller. The root operand still resolves from self.cwd, which is correct (that's the user's operand). The removed macOS re-enqueue path would have used a closed parent fd, so removing it is right; the fallback (report ENOTEMPTY) fails closed. No new attacker-controlled-input parsing.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is exactly the profile REVIEW.md flags as most-blocked: native memory/resource safety (a struct gaining an owning fd field wired into Drop and every lifecycle exit), thread safety (atomics on shared counters, Send raw-pointer tasks touched from multiple pool workers, a new thread-local on reused pool threads), and a security check that must cover every path to the protected effect. The post_run rewrite changes control flow around subtask_count/need_to_wait refcounting where an off-by-one leaks a task or double-frees it. The Relaxed ordering on open_dirs is justified only because it gates a heuristic (inline vs queue), never correctness — worth a maintainer confirming that reading stale values there is acceptable. The inline-execution path calls run_from_thread_pool_impl synchronously while the parent holds its own count; I verified the child's post_run decrement cannot take the parent to 0 (parent's slot is still held), so the caller's dir_task and iterator stay valid.
Other factors
The PR is unusually well-documented: the description quantifies the escape rate on release 1.4.3, states the fd-bound is approximate and explains when it can be exceeded, and reports cargo check on Windows and macOS targets. Tests look solid — the swap test uses a separate swapper process gated by a flag file with a wall-clock deadline (not a bare sleep), and the fd-limit test lowers the hard limit before exec so bun can't raise it back. The deep-tree test's expectation flip is a real behavior change (entries past PATH_MAX now succeed) and is tested. The bug hunt ran to dry_streak with no findings and no ruled-out candidates. Still, ~500 lines of concurrent native code touching secur

Bound the parent-removal retries.
remove_entry_dir_after_children has no retry limit. rmdirat sets RemoveFileParent::treat_as_dir to false on ENOTDIR, while unlinkat_with_flags can set it back to true when the entry is a directory. A concurrent file/directory transition can repeat this loop indefinitely and keep the worker busy. Add a retry limit and return the most recent filesystem error when the limit is reached.

The race test can pass without exercising the race.
The loop stops when Date.now() >= deadline, and the only assertion is expect(deleted).toBe(0). On a slow or loaded machine the deadline can fire after very few iterations, or after zero completed iterations. The test then reports success while it did not exercise the swap window. Track the completed iterations and assert a minimum, so a starved run fails loudly instead of passing silently.

Problem
rm -rf Tcan delete files outsideT. Swap the intermediate componentT/abetween a real directory and a symlink tovictim/while the rm runs, and same-named files invictim/go. Release 1.4.3 lost victim files in 27 of 300 runs. GNUrmloses nothing.src/runtime/shell/builtin/rm.rsopened each directory withO_NOFOLLOWbut removed its entries by the full joined path,unlinkat(cwd, "T/a/f3", 0).O_NOFOLLOWonly guards the final component, so the kernel followed a swapped ancestor.Fix
DirTaskkeeps its directory fd open until the child tasks queued from it have run. Every open, unlink and rmdir below the operand is*at(parent_fd, bare_name)withO_NOFOLLOW. Root operands still resolve from the shell cwd.rmworks this way.test/js/bun/shell/commands/rm.test.ts(the new swap test fails on stock bun in 1 s). Alsofdleak_rmandmemleak_rm.Background
rm -rbuiltin walks the tree on the work pool. OneDirTaskper directory unlinks its files and queues each subdirectory as a child task. The last child to finish removes the parent.unlinkat(dirfd, name)with a single-component name resolves onlynameinsidedirfd, so no other path component can be raced.Notes
(st_dev, st_ino)when a directory is enumerated, re-opens and re-checks that identity later, and leaves Windows on full paths. This PR instead keeps the parent fd open (bounded, see below), needs no re-open or identity bookkeeping, and covers Windows with the same*at(handle, name)calls. Either design closes the escape. Happy to close this one if shell rm: perform the recursive walk relative to opened directory fds #36176 is preferred.victim/and inT/a/with the same names, a swapper loop doingrename(T/a, T/a.real); symlink(victim, T/a); unlink(T/a); rename(T/a.real, T/a), andbun -e 'await $\rm -rf T`'in a loop. Release 1.4.3: 27 of 300 (depth-2 swap ofT/a/b`: 22 of 200). Fixed debug build: 0 of 210 (depth 1) and 0 of 140 (depth 2).open_dirscounts opendir_fds. A directory enters the "open, waiting for queued children" state only if it queued a child while the count was under 64, so at most about 64 wait at once. The rest is one fd per worker per inline nesting level.INLINE_DEPTH(thread-local) caps inline nesting at 32 so a deep tree cannot overflow the 4 MB worker stack (each level holds an 8 KiB readdir buffer); past it a subdirectory is queued again and the levels of that chain wait with their fds open until it runs. So the bound is not hard: a tree that is both wide and deeper than 32 below the budget point can exceed it, and a single chain holds one fd per level (asDir::delete_treedoes). Running out of fds fails thermwith EMFILE; it cannot misdirect it. Measured peak fds, debug build: 20k-wide tree 94 (13k without the bound), node_modules-shaped 15k dirs 110, 3000-deep chain 3015. A new test removes a 1200-directory-wide tree underulimit -n 256.post_runnow climbs that chain in a loop instead of by recursion, because tree depth is no longer capped by PATH_MAX. A 3000-deep chain is removed (release 1.4.3 fails it with "File name too long").ELOOPis now handled likeENOTDIRon theO_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOWopen. Linux reports a symlink there asENOTDIR, the BSDs asELOOP.ENOTEMPTYat its final rmdir is removed. It would have resolved against the parent's closed fd. By reading, that path also never released the directory's own count, so the command could not complete once taken. A directory that a racing writer refills now fails with "Directory not empty", as GNUrmdoes.bun_sys::dir_iterator::Name::as_zstr()now exists on Windows too (the cached UTF-8 name carries a trailing NUL, excluded fromslice_u8()), so the call site is portable.cargo checkpasses forx86_64-pc-windows-msvcandaarch64-apple-darwin.PATH_MAXare now removed, because the syscalls no longer take the joined path.
