fetch: bound decompressed output to reader demand - #43123
Conversation
A fetch() response body read through getReader() decoded as fast as the socket delivered compressed bytes, not as fast as the reader pulled them. The socket-level pause bounds compressed bytes per read, so a high-ratio body needs its own bound: one 512 KB read of 1000:1 gzip inflates to ~500 MB. Against an origin that streams zeros forever, a client consuming 1 MB/s grew RSS by 750 MB (gzip), 751 MB (deflate), 1158 MB (br) and 949 MB (zstd) in 6 s. node/undici: 24 to 41 MB. The streaming decoders now take a soft max_output and return how many input bytes they consumed, so the caller can retain the rest: - zlib/brotli/zstd decompress() stop once out.len() reaches max_output. The existing max_output_size field stays the hard bomb guard. - process_body_buffer keeps unconsumed compressed input in compressed_body and records flags.decompress_output_pending when the cap stopped it short, which includes a decoder that consumed all its input with output still in its window (brotli does this routinely). - to_result().has_more stays true while that flag is set, so the request does not finalize with output still pending. - drain_response_body decodes the next bounded chunk on each JS pull, so the reader's cadence drives the inflate. A leftover that decodes to zero bytes and ends the body still delivers the terminal callback. - The cap is BODY_HIGH_WATER_MARK and applies to HTTP/1.1 demand-driven readers. BufferAll, Abandoned, and h2/h3 decode unbounded: h2/h3 detach the stream before leftover input can be drained. - The single-packet fast paths (content-length and chunked) and the libdeflate one-shot path are skipped when a cap is in effect, so they cannot decode a whole body past it.

…ile paused The first cut of the output budget left four ways for a body to stall or fail that main does not have. - `await (await fetch(url)).text()` could hang. The HTTP thread reads the budget while the consumer is still `Flowing`; if the caller turned it to `BufferAll` before that pass reached `pause_receive()`, nothing paused, so nothing ever asked for the rest. After a progress callback the client now goes on by itself when output is pending and the consumer is not paused. 400 requests hung about one run in three; 3200 now complete. - A fully received body whose decode is still pending failed with ConnectionClosed when the origin's FIN arrived (`Connection: close`), and could idle out behind a CONNECT tunnel, whose socket is never paused. Both now complete the body. - zstd kept decoded bytes it could not fit in its last output window in a per-call local. A pass that ended there needed another packet to shake them loose, so the tail of a live stream's message never arrived. The flag is a field now. - brotli reported bytes after the end of its stream as unconsumed. Also: - A paused consumer gets nothing decoded for it. A tunnelled socket keeps reading while paused, so each packet used to add another pass of output. - `decompress_output_pending` means "this pass filled its budget and more can come without new input", not "the decoder is mid-stream". - The libdeflate one-shot runs under a budget when its output fits the shared buffer, so small responses keep main's fast path. It never runs once a streaming decode has begun. - Held input is consumed through an offset, so a large held body is not shifted down after every pass. - The test file's earlier rename reached into a `bun -e` fixture string and broke `download-proxy memory window stays bounded under concurrency`.
Compressing 256 MB at level 9 in a beforeAll hook took a debug build 6 s, past the hook's timeout.
Raw deflate blocks concatenate after a full flush, so this body is as cheap to build as the gzip and zstd ones.

Status for #43123. How I reproduced it: a In the test file the same defect is a 256 MB body of zeros (about 270 KB on the wire) read with 17 pulls: main holds +183 to +343 MB, this branch +12 to +24 MB. |

I re-reviewed the current revision and found no new bugs; the pushes since my last pass line up with the earlier inline threads in the code itself, but this is a multi-file change to the HTTP client's body state machine, so a human look is still worthwhile — particularly the two policy decisions the description flags (parking unread ≥256 KB compressed bodies, and gzip bodies losing the libdeflate one-shot).
What was reviewed:
- Checked the earlier hang/close/trailing-bytes paths against the code:
send_progress_update_without_stage_checknow self-drains when the consumer is not paused,is_body_complete_on_closetreats done-with-pending-decode as complete, brotli returnsinput.len()after stream end, the libdeflate one-shot is gated onDecompressor::None, and the proxy-test script usesnet.createServeragain. - Traced the
drain_response_body↔send_progress_update_without_stage_checkre-entry for unbounded recursion: each budgeted pass appends ≥256 KB under the tasklet mutex, so thepause_receiveCAS at FetchTasklet.rs:2539 fires after one pass and the recursion is bounded. - Checked
compressed_body_consumedreset anddecompress_output_pendingreset onInternalState::reset/Default, and that the h2/h3/BufferAll paths keepusize::MAXso their behavior is unchanged. finalize_body_on_eofstill decodes with no cap at EOF; the description calls this out as a follow-up rather than fixed here.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR threads an output budget (max_output) through the three streaming decoders (src/zlib/lib.rs, src/brotli/lib.rs, src/zstd/lib.rs), which now return consumed input bytes and expose is_inflating(). src/http/InternalState.rs keeps unconsumed compressed input via a compressed_body_consumed offset (draining only when the consumed prefix dominates), sets decompress_output_pending, and treats a fully-received-but-undecoded body as complete on close. src/http/lib.rs adds decompress_output_cap() (256 KB for HTTP/1.1 demand-driven consumers, unbounded otherwise), process_received_body() which skips decoding for a paused consumer, re-pumps held input from drain_response_body, keeps has_more true while output is pending, bypasses the single-packet fast paths for compressed demand-driven bodies, suppresses the idle timeout when the body is fully received but waiting on its consumer, and self-drains after a progress callback when the consumer left Flowing without pausing. The test file adds RSS-bounded endless-stream cases for four encodings plus a CONNECT tunnel, a zstd held-output case, a release-only race repeat, and a byte-exact matrix.
Security risks
This is a decompression-bomb mitigation, so the relevant risk is the inverse: whether the new bookkeeping can lose or corrupt body bytes, hang a consumer, or grow memory in a path that the cap does not cover. I checked the consumed/held arithmetic in process_body_buffer (held = buffer.len() - consumed where consumed = start + n and n ≤ buffer.len() - start, so no underflow), the decoded_body.grow_by clamp to max_output, and the zstd output_full flag now persisting on the struct. finalize_body_on_eof still passes usize::MAX, so a close-delimited body or tunnel ending with a large held input still decodes in one shot; the PR description names this as a follow-up. No injection, auth, or credential surface is touched.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is HTTP-thread state-machine code with cross-thread signals (BodyReceiveMode atomics read on the HTTP thread, mutated on the JS thread), several fast paths that are now conditionally bypassed, and lifecycle flags that must be reset on every path. The bug-hunting run exited on a dry streak with no findings, and my earlier findings on prior revisions are visible as addressed in the code (self-drain in send_progress_update_without_stage_check, is_body_complete_on_close pending-decode branch, brotli Ok(input.len()) on success, Decompressor::None gate on the libdeflate one-shot, offset instead of memmove, net.createServer restored in the subprocess script). The recursion between drain_response_body and send_progress_update_without_stage_check is bounded because each budgeted pass appends at least 256 KB under the tasklet mutex before the pause_receive check. Still, the PR itself flags two behavior decisions a maintainer may want to overrule, and that judgment is not mine to make.
Other factors
Test coverage is substantial and hermetic (local node:net origins, port: 0, await using disposal, RSS thresholds branched on isASAN || isDebug, no fixed per-test timeouts). The Bun.sleep(20) inside READ_A_LITTLE is a settle loop keyed on RSS stability rather than a fixed wait. The release-only 4000-request race test cannot be forced deterministically, which the description acknowledges. All prior review threads were resolved by the author; I verified from the diff rather than from resolution metadata.

- Each decoder call's output window is what is left of the budget, so a pass produces exactly 256 KB. Before, a call could fill whatever spare capacity the Vec had, up to about twice the budget. - `send_progress_update_without_stage_check` pumps a held body in a loop instead of calling back into `drain_response_body`. A consumer that never pauses takes one pass per turn: `BufferAll`, and an S3 error body, which is collected whole. The recursion was one frame pair per pass.

I re-reviewed the latest push (83e2a8f, exact per-call budget and the send_one_progress_update/pump_held_body loop) and found no new bugs; given how much HTTP-thread/JS-thread state this change coordinates, a maintainer should still take a look before merging.
What was reviewed in this push:
max_output - out.len()in all three decoders is guarded by theout.len() >= max_outputearly return just above it, so it cannot underflow; zstd'soutput_fullcorrectly reads true when the window equals the remaining budget.- The
while send_one && pump_held_bodyloop terminates:pump_held_bodyreturns false when the consumer is paused, when a pass yields no bytes and the body is not done, or on any fail/redirect/done stage, and a pass that fails callsclose_and_failand returns false. compressed_body_consumedis cleared byreset()(via..Default::default()) and only ever indexes a prefix of the same buffer it was computed against, since the drain path zeroes it in the same step.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The range is eight commits changing the three streaming decoders (src/zlib/lib.rs, src/brotli/lib.rs, src/zstd/lib.rs) to accept a soft max_output and report consumed input, and threading that budget through src/http/Decompressor.rs, src/http/InternalState.rs, src/http/Signals.rs and src/http/lib.rs so a demand-driven HTTP/1.1 consumer only ever gets BODY_HIGH_WATER_MARK of decoded bytes per pass. The most recent commit tightens the budget to be exact (each decoder call's output window is clamped to what is left of the budget) and replaces the recursive drain_response_body call with a loop over send_one_progress_update and pump_held_body.
Security risks
This is a resource-exhaustion mitigation for decompression bombs on fetch() bodies, so the relevant risks are the inverse: a bug here can either re-open the unbounded inflate (budget not applied on some path) or turn a legitimate response into a hang or spurious error (pending input never pumped, or a FIN failing a body whose decode is outstanding). Earlier runs raised both classes and the author pushed fixes (is_body_complete_on_close now treats a fully received but undecoded body as complete; on_timeout zeroes the timer instead of failing when only the decode is outstanding; brotli reports post-stream bytes as consumed). In this push I checked the arithmetic added by the exact-budget commit for underflow and the new loop for termination and found nothing. The libdeflate one-shot remains gated off when a streaming decoder is live or the gzip ISIZE exceeds shared_buffer under a budget, so a mid-stream leftover cannot be handed to the one-shot.
Level of scrutiny
High. The change spans four crates, introduces two new pieces of cross-call state (compressed_body_consumed, decompress_output_pending) plus zstd's output_full field, and its correctness depends on the ordering between the HTTP thread reading BodyReceiveMode and the JS thread flipping it. Previous rounds found real hangs in exactly that ordering, and the author's own description lists paths that are still unbounded (finalize_body_on_eof, h2, h3, CONNECT tunnel). That combination is what a human maintainer familiar with FetchTasklet and the pause/resume protocol should weigh, not something an automated pass can sign off on.
Other factors
The bug hunt exited on a dry streak with no findings this round, and all previously posted inline threads were resolved by the author with follow-up commits that plausibly address them. Test coverage in test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts now includes endless-stream cases for gzip, br, zstd and raw deflate plus a finite-body matrix over encodings and framing; the release-only 4000-iteration race test is the only guard for the .text()-racing-a-budgeted-pass hang and cannot run on debug lanes. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths.
A gzip response body that arrives whole usually does so before the caller has the Response. The receive mode is still Flowing then, so the 256 KB output budget from #43123 sends the body through zlib passes. Before that budget, one exact-size libdeflate call inflated it. FetchTasklet now starts in a new receive mode, Unclaimed: no consumer has attached yet. When a complete gzip body whose trailer size is above the 512 KB shared buffer and below 32 MB has not been touched by a decoder, the HTTP thread moves Unclaimed to Paused and decodes nothing. The consumer that attaches resumes the transport. A buffered consumer (text, arrayBuffer) then gets the one libdeflate call. A reader gets budgeted zlib passes as before. Nothing is decoded for a Response that nobody reads. The tests cover a buffered consumer and a reader, with the body arriving with the head, after the head, and after the consumer, over TLS and through a CONNECT proxy, for a Response nobody reads, and for a collected Response. The CONNECT proxy cases clear NO_PROXY and the proxy variables for the child and assert that the proxy saw one CONNECT.
…#43386) ### Problem - Since #43123, a gzip response body that inflates to between 512 KB and 32 MB costs 1.5 to 2.2x the client CPU (as reported) when it is read with `arrayBuffer()` or `text()`. - One exact-size libdeflate call used to inflate a body that arrived whole. It usually arrives before the caller has the `Response`, so the mode is still `Flowing`. `decompress_bytes` (`src/http/InternalState.rs`) budgets `Flowing` at 256 KB and runs zlib passes. ### Fix - `FetchTasklet` starts in a new receive mode, `Unclaimed`: no consumer has attached. It is demand-driven, like `Flowing`. - When such a body is complete and undecoded, `process_received_body` (`src/http/lib.rs`) moves `Unclaimed -> Paused` and decodes nothing. The consumer that attaches resumes the transport. `BufferAll` gets the libdeflate call, and a reader gets budgeted zlib passes. - Correct because one compare-and-swap from `Unclaimed` decides who was first. A held body is decoded only when a consumer attaches or its connection ends (Notes). - Verified: 23 new cases in `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts`. The debug-log case fails on main with two zlib passes. The whole file passes. ### Background - `BodyReceiveMode` (`src/http/Signals.rs`) is the receive backpressure for a body handed to JS. Under `Flowing` and `Paused` the client decodes at most 256 KB per pass. `BufferAll` (`.text()`, `.arrayBuffer()`) never pauses. - libdeflate inflates a whole buffer into a whole buffer, so it cannot stop at a budget. zlib can, but is slower. - A gzip stream ends with ISIZE, the decoded size. It sizes the libdeflate output, up to 32 MB. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **#43169 rewrites the same function. Please read this before choosing a merge order.** #43169 (open) rewrites `process_received_body` and gives `decompress_output_cap` a parameter, so the two PRs conflict there. It does not fix this regression. I built its `src/` at 31132d6 under this PR's tests: the debug-log case still fails, with the libdeflate attempt followed by a zlib pass over the body. So both changes are needed, and the one that lands second has to carry the hold through the other's `process_received_body`. One more case of this PR, `held, and its Response is collected: the fetch is aborted`, times out after 5 s on that build, in 3 of 3 runs. It takes 0.5 s on main and here. The three collected-`Response` cases that main already has pass on that build, so this is specific to a body that is complete and held when the `Response` is collected. I do not know if that is an intended change in #43169 or a hang. The test helper edits (`serveConnectProxy` counts CONNECTs) are the same lines in both PRs. **Where the numbers come from.** Release builds of fd8422c (then main) with and without this diff, and of b52d513 (before #43123). This PR is the same diff on 367d939: it applied without changes, and none of the commits in between touch these hunks. I did not measure again after that rebase. Client CPU is `process.cpuUsage()` per request over keep-alive fetches of one gzip body. The origin is a separate process on other cores. The host is shared and ran at load 40 to 75. A 7-run median moved by about 13% between runs there, so only ratios inside one run are comparable. Median us CPU per request, 9 interleaved runs x 1000 requests, `arrayBuffer()`, before #43123 / main / this diff: ``` 524,288 B (control) 215 / 221 / 234 ranges overlap 786,432 B 316 / 419 / 286 1,048,576 B 431 / 534 / 381 1,572,864 B 552 / 751 / 547 4,194,304 B 1,904 / 2,315 / 1,949 ``` Main is 1.22 to 1.36x here. This diff is within noise of the cost before #43123 on every size in the band. The ratios below 1.00 are noise, not a speedup: this diff does two more thread hops per response than the old code. `text()` gives the same shape (1 MiB 569 / 704 / 570). So does an origin that sends the head a tick before the body (1 MiB 323 / 442 / 316), which is the path where the hold happens with no callback. A `res.body` reader costs the same as on main (1 MiB 629 / 585, 4 MiB 1,969 / 1,972). A 300 B keep-alive body, 15 runs x 3000 requests in two orders: 43 / 44 / 44 and 45 / 46 / 45. I did not use `bench/snippets/fetch-gzip.mjs`. It runs the server in the client process and reports wall time. On this host its unchanged rows moved by 20 to 27% between binaries, so it could not resolve the effect. **What the tests prove.** One case discriminates, and only in a debug build: it reads the `HTTPInternalState` debug log and expects one `Decompressing N bytes with libdeflate` line. On main it also sees `Decompressing 6167 bytes` and `Decompressing 4583 bytes`, the two zlib passes. From JavaScript the two paths deliver the same bytes by design, so nothing else can tell them apart. The other 22 cases pass on main too. They guard the new state: both framings, a buffered consumer and a reader, the body arriving with the head, after the head, and after the consumer, TLS, a CONNECT tunnel, an origin that closes the connection or the tunnel before a consumer attaches, a `Response` nobody reads (the process exits), and a collected `Response` (the fetch is aborted). The CONNECT proxy cases clear `NO_PROXY` and the proxy variables for the child and assert that the proxy saw one CONNECT. An ambient `NO_PROXY` that lists 127.0.0.1 makes `fetch()` ignore its `proxy` option, and the case then passes without a tunnel. I observed 0 CONNECTs that way and 1 with the variables cleared. **Please check this one.** `handle_response_body_from_multiple_packets` no longer sets `is_libdeflate_fast_path_disabled` after a pass over the final chunk. It sets it before a pass over a non-final chunk only. A held body needs the flag to stay clear so that the later pass can use libdeflate. I believe the rest is unchanged: `decompress_bytes` sets the flag itself when it enters the libdeflate block, and every later call sees a decoder that is not `None`. The chunked paths never set it after a final chunk. **At the end of the transport.** The first version of this description said that nothing is decoded for a `Response` that nobody reads. That is true only while the connection is open. A review pointed out that `finalize_body_on_eof` decodes whatever is held with no budget, and a held body reaches it whole. Through a CONNECT tunnel the socket is never paused, so an origin that closes an idle connection gets there before any consumer. I confirmed it: a `res.body` reader whose tunnel closed first got its body from one `Decompressing 6167 bytes with libdeflate` call. Main has the same gap for the part of a body it has not decoded yet (#43123 lists it as still unbounded), and the hold never decodes more than main does. It does not close the gap. #43169 is the change that bounds it, so I did not copy that work here. The four close cases assert exact bytes, not memory. **What the hold costs.** A reader of a held body gets its first chunk one thread round trip later. A held body that nobody reads keeps its connection with nothing decoded, where main keeps it with 256 KB decoded. For a gzip stream with a truthful trailer, the set of bodies is a subset of what #43123 already parks (a decoded size of 256 KB or more). The hold trusts the trailer. A stream whose trailer overstates its size is held too, where main would decode it and free the connection. That gives a server nothing new: it can already make a client park a connection with a real body of that size, which is a few KB on the wire. **Unchanged.** Bodies up to 512 KB, deflate, brotli and zstd, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 (they start `Unclaimed` but are never held, because their output cap is unbounded), S3 (its `Store` still starts `Flowing`), and any body that arrives in more than one read. </details> --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
…coders (#33711) ### Problem - `fetch()` fails a valid `Content-Encoding: deflate` body with `ZlibError` in two cases. The zlib window is under 32K, or the first read holds one byte. - `Decompressor::init` (`src/http/Decompressor.rs:41`) picks zlib or raw deflate with `first_chunk.len() > 1 && first_chunk[0] == 120`. - The libdeflate fast path (`src/http/InternalState.rs:361`) tries each whole body as raw deflate first. So one body can give two contents, whole and split. ### Fix - `has_zlib_header` (from #31520) applies the RFC 1950 check to two bytes. Both places use it. - With one byte and more to come, `decompress_chunk` consumes nothing. The caller keeps the byte (#43123). - The libdeflate path leaves a zlib-headed body to zlib-ng, so whole and split bodies agree. - Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-gzip.test.ts` (9 new cases, 8 fail on main), one HTTP/2 case, and `test/regression/issue/18413*`. ### Background - `Content-Encoding: deflate` means a zlib stream (RFC 9110 section 8.4.1.2). Some servers send raw deflate. - A zlib stream starts with two bytes. They hold the method (8), the window size and a check: the pair is a multiple of 31. - libdeflate inflates a complete body in one call. zlib-ng is the streaming decoder. - Considered Node's rule (low nibble of the first byte is 8). It needs no wait, but fails raw bodies that Bun decodes. ### Downsides - Raw deflate that starts with a valid zlib header (66 of 65,536 prefixes) now always fails. It decoded whole before. Three deflaters emitted none in 16,984 streams. - The first read of a zlib-wrapped body runs 13 more instructions (165 to 178). Release `.text` grows 256 bytes. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Earlier work.** #31520 has the same header check for the small-window case. This PR takes its helper (co-author on the commit) and adds the one-byte case and the libdeflate path. The first version of this PR stored the lone byte in a new `Decompressor::PendingDeflate` variant and copied the next chunk. Since #43123 `decompress_chunk` returns the count of input bytes it consumed and the caller presents the rest again, so that variant is not necessary. **Two contents from one body.** The same bytes can be a valid zlib stream and a valid raw deflate stream, with different content. The test builds such a body of 2,765 bytes (`twoReadings`) and checks both readings with `node:zlib`. On 1.4.3-canary 367d939, `fetch()` returns the raw deflate content when the body arrives whole (libdeflate) or when the first read holds one byte. It returns the zlib content when the first read holds two bytes. No error is raised. With this PR every delivery returns the zlib content. Node v26.3.0 also returns the zlib content in every delivery. **Reference table.** Content-Length framing. Each cell lists the result when the first read holds the whole body, one byte, two bytes. `error` and `ZlibError` are a rejected `fetch()` body. The body names are the rows of the new test. | body | 1.4.3-canary 367d939 | this PR | Node v26.3.0 | curl 8.14.1, whole | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `raw` | ok, ok, ok | ok, ok, ok | ok, ok, ok | ok | | `raw78` (starts `78 e8`) | ok, ok, ZlibError | ok, ok, ok | error, error, error | ok | | `wb9` | ZlibError, ZlibError, ZlibError | ok, ok, ok | ok, ok, ok | ok | | `wb15` | ok, ZlibError, ok | ok, ok, ok | ok, ok, ok | ok | | `twoReadings` | raw content, raw content, zlib content | zlib content in all | zlib content in all | zlib content | | `rawPassing1950` (starts `78 01`) | ok, ok, ZlibError | ZlibError in all | error in all | ok | | `lyingWindow` | ZlibError in all | ZlibError in all | ok in all | ok | | `oneByte` | ZlibError | ZlibError | empty body | empty body | The test runs these bodies with chunked and close-delimited framing too, with libdeflate on and off. A wider probe of 48 cells (three framings, four bodies, a first read of 0, 1, 2 or 6 body bytes) fails 15 cells on the canary, 0 with this PR and 12 on Node. In each probe the server sends the rest of the body only after the client's `fetch()` promise resolved, so no timer is involved. **What moves.** Raw deflate can start with a valid zlib header only as a stored block with padding bits set, for example `78 01`. On main that body decodes when libdeflate takes it whole or when the first read holds one byte, and fails in the other deliveries. It now fails in all of them, unless the bytes are also a valid zlib stream (the paragraph above). Node's zlib, zlib-ng and libdeflate emitted no such stream: levels 0 to 9 (libdeflate 0 to 12), strategies 0 to 4, windows 9 to 15, 8 inputs. Raw bodies that start `78 e8` or `08 e8` (first byte of a zlib stream, header check fails) now decode in every delivery. Node rejects both. **Unchanged.** A body that ends after one byte is `ZlibError` (Node resolves with an empty body). A zlib stream whose header declares a smaller window than its data uses is `ZlibError` in every delivery (Node decodes it). The cause is not in `fetch()`: Bun builds zlib-ng with `INFLATE_STRICT`, and `zlib.inflateSync` rejects the same stream. A whole raw deflate body that libdeflate accepts and zlib-ng rejects (a block with HLIT 287) still decodes whole and fails split. **The one-byte wait.** `decompress_chunk` returns 0 only when the body has not ended. The single-packet callers always pass a complete body, so they never see 0. `decompress_output_pending` stays false for a held byte, so `pump_held_body` does not loop. A body that ends during the wait gets the final call with `is_done`, and zlib reports the truncated stream. Late consumer, slow reader and byte-by-byte delivery, probed by hand: 60 of 70 cells decode. The other 10 are bodies cut after one byte (9) and an unmet Content-Length (1). **Cost, merge base bf42a52 against the same tree with this change, release builds.** - Instructions per `InternalState::decompress_bytes` call (gdb `nexti`, calls stepped over). First streamed read: gzip 160 to 156, brotli 167 to 168, zstd 173 to 173, zlib-wrapped deflate 165 to 178, raw deflate 165 to 166. Later reads are equal (67, 70, 73, 67). Whole body in one read: gzip 108 to 105, brotli 160 to 161, zstd 167 to 167, zlib-wrapped deflate 204 to 200, raw deflate 107 to 111. - gzip, brotli and zstd run no added compare or branch. Branch, call and compare instructions per call: gzip 41 to 40 and 45 to 44, brotli 51 and 52 on both, zstd 48 and 50 on both. The other differences are register moves. - Whole zlib-wrapped body, per response: raw libdeflate calls 1 to 0, `inflateInit2_` 1 to 1, zlib-ng heap blocks 2 to 2 (112 B and 42,176 B). - One-byte first read: 2 decode calls per response on both builds. Allocator calls for a 120 KB body: 9 with a one-byte first read, 9 with a two-byte first read. - `size bun`: `.text` 80,676,555 to 80,676,811. `InternalState::decompress_bytes` 2287 B to 2394 B. `Decompressor` is 24 B and `InternalState` 400 B on both. **Suites.** On the debug build at 4b02e10 plus this change: `fetch-gzip.test.ts` 89 of 89, `fetch-http2-client.test.ts` 76 of 76, `test/regression/issue/18413*.test.ts` 29 of 29. On 1.4.3-canary 367d939 the new `describe` block fails 8 of 9 and the HTTP/2 case fails with `ZlibError`. In `fetch.stream.test.ts` and `fetch-backpressure.test.ts`, the tests that move 2 to 16 MB time out at the 5 s default on my machine, on main too. With a 60 s timeout they pass on both builds, and this PR is not slower. **Self-review.** A review of this diff has not finished yet. It produced two findings so far. Both are in this push: the `twoReadings` test row, and code comments cut to one line each. **Not in this PR: a raw retry.** curl, Chromium and Firefox do not look at the header. They inflate the body as zlib, and when that fails early they start again as raw deflate (curl `lib/content_encoding.c`, Chromium `net/filter/gzip_source_stream.cc`, Firefox `netwerk/streamconv/converters/nsHTTPCompressConv.cpp`). That decodes `rawPassing1950`. curl retries only inside its first write call. Chromium keeps the input until the first output byte, up to 1000 bytes. In Bun the result must not depend on the read boundaries, so a retry needs the Chromium shape: new decoder state that holds the input until the first output byte. No deflater that I tested emits such a body, so this PR does not add it. A review thread on `src/http/InternalState.rs` asks for it. **Not in this PR: the libdeflate zlib entry.** libdeflate has a zlib entry. It would save the zlib-ng stream for a whole zlib-wrapped body that inflates to 512 KiB or less. Above that it discards a pass, and libdeflate accepts streams that zlib-ng rejects, so the result would depend on the delivery again. That change needs its own numbers. </details> Co-authored-by: Alistair Smith <hi@alistair.sh>

Problem
fetch()body read throughgetReader()is decoded as fast as compressed bytes arrive, not as fast as the reader pulls. An origin that streams compressed zeros forever grows a client that reads 1 MB/s by 750 MB (gzip), 1158 MB (br) and 949 MB (zstd) in 6 s. Node: 24 to 41 MB.InflateDecoder::decompress(src/zlib/lib.rs) and its brotli and zstd siblings drain all their input, so one 512 KB read of a 1000:1 body inflates to ~500 MB.Fix
max_output(BODY_HIGH_WATER_MARK, 256 KB) and return the input bytes they consumed.process_body_bufferkeeps the rest.drain_response_bodydecodes the next piece on each pull.has_morestays true while output is pending. Only a paused consumer asks for more, so for any other the client goes on by itself.BufferAll, h2 and h3 are unchanged.test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts(five new cases fail on main at +183 to +343 MB). Also fetch-gzip, fetch-compress, fetch.stream, body-stream and five proxy suites.Background
InternalState::compressed_body.process_body_bufferdecodes it intodecoded_body, which goes to the JS thread.BodyReceiveMode(src/http/Signals.rs): inFlowingandPauseda consumer takes the body piece by piece. Whoever holds 256 KB unconsumed pauses. Whoever takes bytes unpauses and schedules a resume.BufferAll(.text()) never pauses.max_outputis a yield point.max_output_sizeis the separate bomb guard.Notes
Repro. A
node:netorigin writesContent-Encoding: <enc>and an endless compressed stream of zeros as fast as the socket takes it. The client reads the body at about 1 MB/s for 6 s and samples RSS.Two decisions a maintainer may want to overrule.
Signals.rsto decoded bytes and matches undici. The alternative decodes up to ~500 MB from one read for a Response nobody reads..text()). Bodies up to 512 KB keep libdeflate throughshared_buffer. The one-shot never runs once a streaming decode has begun.Still unbounded.
finalize_body_on_eofdecodes whatever is held when a close-delimited body or a tunnel ends, and h2 and h3 decode as before. All three need a way to keep draining a client after its socket or stream is gone:drain_queued_receive_resumesfinds clients through the abort tracker's socket. That is a follow-up.What the first cut got wrong (found by CI and review, fixed here):
await (await fetch(url)).text()could hang. The HTTP thread reads the budget while the consumer isFlowing. If the caller turned it toBufferAllbefore that pass reachedpause_receive(), nothing paused and nothing resumed. 400 requests against an origin that sends the head a tick before the body hung about one run in three. The fixed build completed 3200. This is what timed outnext-pages/dev-server-ssr-100.Connection: closeorigin's FIN failed a body whose decode was still pending with ConnectionClosed.Checks beyond the test file. A sweep of 10 body sizes (1 byte to 8.4 MB, including 256 KB ± 1) x 3 contents x 4 encodings x Content-Length and chunked, every response
Connection: close, read by a stream reader and byarrayBuffer(): 480 cases, all byte-exact.Tests. The bodies are 256 MB of zeros built from one compressed MB repeated as gzip members, zstd frames or full-flushed raw deflate blocks (really compressing 256 MB takes a debug build seconds; brotli has no such shortcut). The reader takes 17 chunks and reports its peak RSS, so nothing waits on a clock.
text() racing a budgeted passrepeats the request 4000 times and runs on release builds only: the race cannot be forced from a test, and a debug build is too slow to repeat it enough.a bounded decode still delivers the whole bodypasses on main by design. It guards the budget's own bookkeeping.Supersedes #36271, which was closed as stale.
