node:http: release body_read_ref when a response upgrades to a WebSocket

[robobun]

Problem

• A node:http server with ws upgrades a request that declares a body inside the 'upgrade' event. After everything is closed, the process never exits and uses 100% CPU. A debug build panics: assertion failed: !self.body_read_ref.get().has (<NodeHTTPResponse as Drop>::drop).
• upgrade() (src/runtime/server/NodeHTTPResponse.rs:527) releases poll_ref but keeps body_read_ref. Since Fix effectively every native-code memory leak in Bun #30875 the request is marked complete after the upgrade. The socket close path, which released the ref in 1.3, then returns early.

Fix

• upgrade() releases body_read_ref for a body that is still Pending, next to the poll_ref release.
• Correct because uWS destroys the HTTP response data, and its body callback, when it adopts the socket. A pending body never arrives, so the ref waits for nothing.
• The request does not change. body_read_state stays Pending, so a request whose body never arrives stays open with req.complete === false, as on main and on Node v26.3.0. The first version of this PR ended the request at the upgrade. Review caught it.
• Verified: test/js/node/http/node-http-with-ws.test.ts (new test, fails on bun 1.4.3 and on a debug build of main), test/js/first_party/ws/, node-http.test.ts, Node's test-http-upgrade-*. Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed (Notes).

Background

• body_read_ref is a jsc::Ref: while held, vm.active_tasks is above zero and the event loop stays alive. A request that declares a body takes it. The last body chunk, req._dump() or a socket close releases it.
• body_read_state is None, Pending or Done. JS reads it through handle.hasBody, and IncomingMessage._read ends the request on Done.
• ws reaches upgrade() through server.upgrade(res) in handleUpgrade().

Notes

Repro (run from a directory that resolves ws, for example test/):

const http = require("node:http");
const net = require("node:net");
const { WebSocketServer } = require("ws");
const server = http.createServer();
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ server });
wss.on("connection", ws => ws.on("error", () => {}));
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
  const body = '{"hello":"world"}';
  const c = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () =>
    c.write(
      "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: a\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\n" +
        "Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==\r\nSec-WebSocket-Version: 13\r\n" +
        `Content-Length: ${body.length}\r\n\r\n${body}`,
    ),
  );
  c.on("data", () => c.destroy());
  c.on("close", () => {
    wss.close();
    server.close();
    console.log("done");
  });
});

The bug

• Bun 1.3.5 and 1.3.14 print done and exit in 0.15 s. Bun 1.4.0 and 1.4.3 canary print done and spin (timeout 20 gives exit 124 with 19.9 s of user time). With an empty body every version exits.
• getEventLoopStats() on the canary after everything is closed: activeTasks: 1, loopActive: false. With the fix: activeTasks: 0.
• Trace of the unfixed build with BUN_DEBUG_NodeHTTPResponse=1: onRequestComplete, markRequestAsDone(), clearOnDataCallback, then onAbort at the close, which returns early. Nothing calls maybe_stop_reading_body for an upgraded response. The dispatch tail (src/runtime/server/mod.rs) only calls it when the response is not upgraded. The promise reactions that call it are not attached when the upgrade happened inside the handler.
• In 1.3 the close path ran on_data_or_aborted(last = true), which released the ref. So the ref lived as long as the WebSocket.
• The CPU use: auto_tick (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs) blocks in the poll only when the uSockets loop has an active handle. Otherwise it calls tick_without_idle(), a poll with a zero timeout. is_event_loop_alive() stays true because of active_tasks, so the outer loop never ends. A leaked jsc::Ref with no other handle behaves this way.
• On a debug build of main, bun bd test test/js/first_party/ws/ws.test.ts test/js/first_party/ws/ws-upgrade-events.test.ts test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts aborts the test runner with the assertion above after 87 passes. A later GC finalizes the responses that the tests with a request body leaked. With the fix: 100 pass, 0 fail.

The fix

• upgrade() leaves a body alone that is not Pending. A held ref with Done exists only while the last ondata call is on the stack. on_data_or_aborted sets Done before the call. After it, it releases the ref and runs mark_request_as_done_if_necessary(). That accounting does not change.
• An upgrade from a later task, before the body arrived, held the ref until the WebSocket closed. Now the upgrade releases it.
• The comment in set_on_data says that every site that releases the ref also moves the state out of Pending or sets a flag that its guard rejects. upgrade() sets UPGRADED, which the guard rejects too. The comment now names it.
• The first version also moved body_read_state to Done. A reader of the request that started after the upgrade then got 'end' with req.complete === true for a body that never arrived. Node keeps that request open, so the line is gone and the test now asserts the open request.
• node:http: keep receiving the request body after the response has ended #38196 (open, conflicts with main) adds a body_read_ref release to mark_request_as_done() for another path. That line would also end this hang for an upgrade inside the 'upgrade' event. It does not cover the later-task upgrade. The two changes compose: Ref::unref does nothing when the ref is not held.
• handleUpgrade() from inside the request's 'data' or 'end' handler: on main and with this change, the server-side ws never emits 'close' after the client disconnects. node:http: keep parsing other connections after an upgrade from a request body handler #43182 works on that path. With its uWS changes applied on top of the first version of this change, the socket closed, activeTasks was 0 after the upgrade and after the close, and forced GCs on a debug build passed.
• Other teardown paths with a pending body do not leak on the canary: res.end() before the body completes plus a client disconnect, res.destroy(), req.destroy(), socket.destroy(), and an Upgrade with a body that ws rejects, that the listener destroys, or that the listener answers with a raw 101.

Node v26.3.0 compared (npm ws 8.18.3, raw client, Content-Length: 17, handleUpgrade() inside the 'upgrade' event and from setImmediate, reader of req attached right after handleUpgrade())

• Body never sent. Node: 'upgrade' gets an UpgradeStream, req.complete === false, and req stays open after the 101. Bun, on main and with this PR: the same for the request. The difference: Node reads the next 17 bytes as the body, Bun hands them to the WebSocket as frames.
• Body sent after the 101. Node: req gets the body, 'end' and 'close', then frames reach ws. Bun: the body bytes reach the WebSocket parser, req gets nothing, and a later frame is not delivered.
• Body sent with the head. Node: the body is complete before 'upgrade' (req.complete === true, plain Socket). Bun: 'upgrade' fires before the body is parsed. An upgrade inside the event drops the body (ws.test.ts documents that). An upgrade from a later task delivers it.
• These differences are on main too, and this PR does not touch them. To remove them, the WebSocket has to take the socket only after the request body is complete. That is a separate change, tracked in node:http + ws: the body of an Upgrade request is lost once handleUpgrade() runs (Node delivers it before frames) #43716 (related: node:http: keep parsing other connections after an upgrade from a request body handler #43182, ws: frames that arrive before a deferred handleUpgrade() are dropped #43149).

The test

• One child process runs four upgrades of a request that declares a body: from a later task and inside the 'upgrade' event, each with the body sent and not sent. When the client has the 101, the child records the active tasks the upgrade left behind. Where the body is not sent, it also records that the request is still open ('end' not emitted, req.complete === false), which is what Node shows. The process has to exit by itself. It calls process.exit(1) only when it saw a leak, so that an unfixed build fails in 70 ms instead of a timeout.
• Unfixed builds (bun 1.4.3, and a debug build of main) report leakedTasks: 1 for three cases. The fourth one (later task, body sent) passes without the fix: the body is complete before the upgrade, so upgrade() has nothing to release.
• The first version of the child also passed with the environment of the CI ASAN lane (BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1, BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1, ASAN_OPTIONS=...detect_leaks=1...): exit 0 and an empty stderr on the debug build.
• The test is not concurrent. A debug build needs about 3 s to load node:http, ws and bun:internal-for-testing. Beside the child of the poll_ref test, both get slower on a loaded machine.

Self-review (three read-only passes: ref accounting, JS-visible effects, the test)

• Addressed: the 'end' that the first version gave a late reader (removed after the Node comparison), the CI ASAN environment was not exercised, a request that is never answered made the child hang, the missing flag combinations, a dead ws.on("error") handler, the assertion shape (one object with signalCode), the comment style, and no test covered the request state.
• Rejected: an assertion on the number of refs a response holds before the upgrade. It would pin an internal number.
• The ref accounting pass found no double release, no missed mark_request_as_done() and no new Drop assertion on the three upgrade paths (inside the event, from a later task, from inside ondata).

Unrelated

• In the debug build, node-http-connect.test.ts > "tests should run on bun" times out at 5 s in this container. It spawns bun test on node-http-connect.node.mts, which passes in 4.9 s when run directly.

Status

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3 canary and on a debug build of main. The script is in the Notes of the PR description. A node:http server with ws upgrades a request that declares Content-Length: 17 inside the 'upgrade' event. After every socket and server is closed, the release build prints done and then spins (timeout 20 gives exit 124 with 19.9 s of user time). The debug build panics with assertion failed: !self.body_read_ref.get().has when a GC finalizes the response. Bun 1.3.14 exits at once.

Fix and test: #43427. The new test in test/js/node/http/node-http-with-ws.test.ts fails on both unfixed builds and passes with the fix. After review, upgrade() only releases body_read_ref. The request stays open with req.complete === false, as on Node v26.3.0. The remaining differences from Node are in #43716.

CI on 41cf4bd (build 119365): one red lane, debian 13 x64-asan, from test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts ("an idle reader stopped at the highwater mark"). This change does not touch spawn. The same test is the only red x64-asan test in builds 119346, 119336, 119308 and 119305, which are four other PRs with no code in common. The x64-asan lane runs on PR builds only, so main does not show it. The test of this PR is not among the failures. The binary-size check is level with main on every target after the merge with main.

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 also checked the ref accounting of the new block in src/runtime/server/NodeHTTPResponse.rs:597-600: jsc::Ref::unref is a no-op when has is already false, so the later releases in on_abort, mark_request_as_done and Drop cannot double-decrement active_tasks, and the ondata-setter guard (body_read_state != Pending || UPGRADED) keeps the debug_assert!(body_read_ref.has) invariant at line 2295 intact after an upgrade.

Extended reasoning...

The inline finding concerns a reader armed before the upgrade never receiving EOF, which is a delivery gap rather than a refcount problem. Separately, I traced the new unref site against every other body_read_ref release path and the Ref implementation in src/jsc/lib.rs:1523: releases are idempotent on the has flag, and the new site transitions body_read_state to Done in the same step, matching the invariant every other release site follows. Nothing else concrete was ruled out this run.

[cirospaciari]

@robobun On Node v26.3.0, an Upgrade GET with a Content-Length whose body was never sent gives 'upgrade' a Duplex wrapper with req.complete false, and the request stays open until the body arrives; here it ends at the upgrade.
Please match Node, or keep that assertion out of the test and say why the difference has to stay.

[robobun]

@cirospaciari You are right. I ran the scenario under Node v26.3.0 with ws 8.18.3: raw client, Content-Length: 17, handleUpgrade() inside the 'upgrade' event and from setImmediate.

With the body never sent, Node gives 'upgrade' an UpgradeStream, req.complete is false, and req stays open after the 101. The first version of this PR moved body_read_state to Done in upgrade(), so a reader that started after the upgrade got 'end' with req.complete === true. That line is gone in 6fe9708. upgrade() now only releases body_read_ref. The request behaves as on main: it stays open and req.complete stays false, which is what Node shows. The test no longer asserts an ended request. Where the body is not sent, it asserts the open request instead.

Differences from Node that remain. They are on main too, and this PR does not touch them:

• Body never sent: Node reads the next 17 bytes as the body. Bun hands them to the WebSocket as frames.
• Body sent after the 101: on Node, req gets the body, 'end' and 'close', then frames reach ws. On Bun, the body bytes reach the WebSocket parser and req gets nothing.
• Body sent with the head: on Node, the body is complete before 'upgrade' (req.complete === true, plain Socket). On Bun, 'upgrade' fires first, and an upgrade inside the event drops the body.

All three have one cause. server.upgrade() moves the socket to the uWS WebSocket context at once, and after that no HTTP body can reach req. To match Node, the WebSocket has to take the socket only after the request body is complete. That is a larger change in upgrade() and in the uWS parser (#43182 is in the same area), so it stays out of this leak fix. The measurements are in the Notes of the description.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the latest push (the one that leaves body_read_state at Pending after releasing the ref) and found no bugs; since this changes a lifecycle invariant in NodeHTTPResponse and a maintainer is already engaged, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The new invariant "Pending no longer implies body_read_ref is held" after upgrade: every other unref site (maybe_stop_reading_body, set_on_data guard branch, on_buffer_paused, on_data_or_aborted, end, Drop) is either gated on .has or goes through jsc::Ref::unref, which is a no-op when not held, so no double-unref.
• The debug_assert!(body_read_ref.has) in set_on_data is unreachable post-upgrade because Flags::UPGRADED is set before the unref and is rejected by the guard above it.
• maybe_stop_reading_body now sees had_ref == false after an upgrade, so it skips mark_request_as_done_if_necessary; the IS_REQUEST_PENDING release is still covered by the dispatch tail's upgraded branch and by on_request_complete() in the resolve reaction, and the upgrade promise in _http_server.ts only resolves, never rejects.
• Test: one child process, pipes drained concurrently, no sleeps, asserts signalCode === null and a combined result object; the serial choice is justified in a comment.

Extended reasoning...

The diff adds four lines to the upgrade() path in src/runtime/server/NodeHTTPResponse.rs (unref body_read_ref when the body is still Pending), updates one comment, and adds one subprocess test in test/js/node/http/node-http-with-ws.test.ts. It touches no security-sensitive surface (no auth, crypto, or parsing of untrusted data beyond what already exists). The latest commit changed the fix's semantics since my previous review (the state is no longer moved to Done), which is why a fresh note is warranted. Deferring rather than approving because this is keep-alive ref accounting in node:http's response lifecycle, where correctness depends on non-local invariants, a maintainer commented shortly before the last push and I cannot see that comment's text, and I could not run the debug build to confirm the test outcome myself.

[robobun]

The remaining differences from Node now have an issue: #43716. It has the Node v26.3.0 and Bun measurements for the three body timings, the repro script, the cause, and a direction for the change.

It also replaces what I wrote in the review thread about a reader that is armed before handleUpgrade(). That reader needs no EOF at the upgrade. Once the WebSocket waits for the body, it gets the body and 'end' when the body arrives, and the request stays open otherwise, as on Node.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Superseded by #43557, which is merged (5d5f03f). It fixes this once for the whole node:http server and carries the tests over.
