src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs— pre-existing: a server handler that calls stream.end() after an await (or inside a push callback) and then stream.pushStream() still gets a synchronous ERR_HTTP2_PUSH_DISABLED throw, where node delivers the push. By then the request's END_STREAM has been seen, so send_data at h2_frame_parser.rs:5393-5407 flips the stream to CLOSED and dispatches onStreamEnd(7) while the END_STREAM DATA is still only corked; the JS handler marks it closed, so pushAllowed is false. Fix: keep the parent pushable while its END_STREAM frame is still in the cork (defer the CLOSED transition/closedflag to the flush, or let pushStream bypass the closed check when end_stream_cork is set), covering both the empty-payload and end(data) branches.Extended reasoning...
The PR fixes only the handler shape where end() runs synchronously inside the 'stream' event, when the legacy stream is still OPEN (the inbound END_STREAM(6) is dispatched after the HEADERS dispatch, see the comment at h2_frame_parser.rs:4186-4189). Node: after end(), nghttp2 queues DATA(END_STREAM) and marks the stream closed only when it is actually sent, so pushStream() after end() works from any tick before the next write. Trigger:
server.on('stream', async s => { await fs.promises.readFile(p); s.respond(); s.end(); s.pushStream({':path':'/x'}, cb) }), ors.end(); s.pushStream(h1, (e, p1) => { s.pushStream(h2, cb2) })(second push from the first push callback, which runs on nextTick after on_stream_end(6) has closed the parent). Path: on_stream_end(6) at 4171-4176 sets the legacy state to HALF_CLOSED_REMOTE. s.end() -> _final (http2.ts:2740) -> write_stream -> send_data: the empty DATA(END_STREAM) is corked and marked (5213-5216), then 5393-5395 set CLOSED and free_resources, 5403 dispatches onStreamEnd(7) synchronously. streamEnd handler (http2.ts:4063-4065) runs markStreamClosed…Verification: pre-existing (the base takes the same route; this PR's mark/cork reordering never runs because JS throws before pushPromise is called). Trigger: a server 'stream' handler whose request carried END_STREAM (any GET) calls end() after any await (or from any later tick) and then pushStream(). Mechanism verified in the code: - The 'stream' event is emitted synchronously from the HEADERS dispatch…

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline nits, two more things were checked on this revision and ruled out: ending two streams in one tick and then pushing on the later-ended stream first leaves the earlier stream's PUSH_PROMISE behind its END_STREAM (the cut in take_cork_tail bumps the generation, so the other mark goes stale) — that is the same order main produces today, so not a regression; and the DeferredTaskQueue re-pass does reach an auto-flush re-registered from JS during a drain, because uncork() unregisters before _write(), so the re-post is a fresh insert that changes posted.
Extended reasoning...
The latest commit (14206ac) changes the shape of the three areas raised in the earlier round: take_cork_tail now bumps CORK_GENERATION after rewinding CORK_OFFSET, only cuts a tail made entirely of well-formed DATA frames (so header blocks never move relative to each other), and DeferredTaskQueue::run re-runs a pass (up to MAX_PASSES) whenever a callback inserted a new entry. I traced the re-pass against the H2 flusher: uncork() at h2_frame_parser.rs:2897 calls unregister_auto_flush() before _write(), so JS run inside the write that corks again goes through post_task as a Vacant insert and increments posted, triggering another pass. For the multi-stream cut order, cutting at the later mark stales the earlier stream's mark (generation bump at :3115), so that stream's PUSH_PROMISE lands after its END_STREAM exactly as on the base branch — pre-existing, not introduced here. The change still edits the cork buffer and event-loop drain, so the inline test nits plus a human look at the cork/tail logic remain worthwhile.

I worked on the same issue (#43479) in parallel and stopped when I saw this PR. My branch is robobun/1b516ded/http2-push-promise-before-end-stream. I do not propose it for merge. One part of it may be useful here. A guard for the cases under "Not covered" The branch adds a check at the top of let parent_can_send = this.streams.get().get(&parent_id).copied()

In node the pushed stream then fails with Trailers For Why I do not propose the rest of the branch The branch defers the operation that carries END_STREAM in JS until the deferred flush. That moved more than the frame order. I did not build or test this PR's branch. |
Http2Stream._final called native.flush() synchronously. session.request() calls req.end() for an endStream request before it returns, so the HEADERS frame reached the transport while request() was still on the stack. Over a transport that delivers synchronously (an in-memory Duplex pair, a mock socket) the peer's whole response arrived before the caller could attach a 'response' listener, so the status was lost while the body and 'close' still came through. Node schedules every session write, so nothing observable happens inside request(). Both flush calls exist to stop a frame from being stranded in the cork when _final runs on the last live turn of the program. That strand has its own cause: a deferred task writes its buffer to its transport, and a JS-backed transport runs user code for that write. That code queues microtasks and nextTicks, and it can post deferred tasks of its own (the peer end of an in-process pair answering). Nothing drained or ran those afterwards, and the event loop could find no work left and exit. The checkpoint now drains again after the deferred queue when either queue holds work, and a yield task keeps the loop alive for one more checkpoint when a deferred task was posted too late for the pass.
…he transport recovered from
A server handler that calls end() and then pushStream() in the same tick wrote the PUSH_PROMISE after the parent's DATA(END_STREAM). RFC 9113 section 6.6 only allows a PUSH_PROMISE on a stream that is open or half-closed (remote), so a node client cancels that push. send_data records where a stream's END_STREAM DATA frame lands in the cork. The last frame of a multi-frame body takes the corked path too, so a body of any size keeps its END_STREAM corked until the tick ends. push_promise cuts the cork at that mark, writes the PUSH_PROMISE, and puts the tail back. The cut only moves DATA frames, so HPACK header blocks keep their encode order. It bumps the cork generation and marks the moved END_STREAM frames again. push_promise no longer flushes. Stacked on #42353, which removes the synchronous flush in Http2Stream._final and gives the deferred queue its liveness guarantee.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the two-streams-ended-in-one-tick case where the later-ended stream pushes first: the cut for that push bumps CORK_GENERATION, so the earlier stream's mark goes stale and its PUSH_PROMISE falls back to landing after its DATA(END_STREAM). That is the base branch's order (no corruption, header blocks stay in encode order), so it is pre-existing rather than a regression from this PR.
Extended reasoning...
This run's inline finding (the second microtask drain keyed on the nextTick "scheduled" flag rather than a count) stands on its own. Separately I re-traced take_cork_tail/restore_cork_tail in src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs for the multi-stream scenario: when stream B (ended later, mark at a higher offset) pushes before stream A, B's cut bumps the generation, A's CorkMark fails the generation check, and A's push_promise writes after the cork end exactly as the base does. The refusal to move non-DATA frames means HPACK order is preserved, so the only consequence is the pre-existing misorder for A, not a new failure.

node:http2server handler that callsstream.end()(orstream.end(data)) and thenstream.pushStream()in the same tick writes the PUSH_PROMISE after the parent'sDATA(END_STREAM). RFC 9113 section 6.6 allows a PUSH_PROMISE only on a stream that is open or half-closed (remote) for the sender. A node client cancels that push withRST_STREAM(CANCEL)and never emits the session'stream'event.push_promise(src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs) wrote its frame after whatever the cork held, then flushed. nghttp2 serializes HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE before pending DATA, so node gets the right order for free.Fix
send_datarecords where a stream's END_STREAM DATA frame lands in the cork (CorkMark: offset plus a generation that every cork reset bumps). The last frame of a multi-frame body takes the corked path too, after the batch in front of it is written, so a body of any size keeps its END_STREAM corked until the tick ends.push_promisecuts the cork at that mark, writes the PUSH_PROMISE, and puts the tail back. The cut only moves DATA frames: a header block in the tail makes it fall back to today's order, because the HPACK decoder must read header blocks in encode order. A cut bumps the generation and marks the moved END_STREAM frames again at their shifted offsets.push_promiseno longer flushes.Http2Stream._finalno longer flushes synchronously, and the deferred queue gets a liveness guarantee, so the END_STREAM frame stays corked until the checkpoint without a strand.test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts(seven new cases, six fail on stock bun). Also every suite intest/js/node/http2/, alltest/js/node/test/parallel/test-http2-*.js, and the grpc-js suites.Background
H2FrameParseris the native frame engine behindnode:http2. Frames go into a per-thread cork buffer (CORK_BUFFER, 16 KB). A deferred task (the auto-flusher) writes the cork to the socket at the microtask checkpoint.flush()does it at once.send_datawrites a body that fits one DATA frame into the cork. A larger body goes through the batch buffer and reaches the socket in one write. Under backpressure frames are queued per stream instead. Only corked frames need a mark.PUSH_PROMISEon the parent (request) stream, then responds on the pushed stream. The promise must be on the wire before the parent's END_STREAM.Notes
Frame order seen by a raw TCP client (one GET,
order.jsfrom the issue):The pushed response HEADERS(2) still follows DATA(1,END_STREAM) here. That is legal, and it is not what the client cancels on.
node client against a Bun server. With handlers A and C, a node v26.3.0 client on stock bun sees
["req response 200","req end"]and the pushed stream closes withrstCode8 on the server. On this branch all three handlers give["req response 200","session stream /file.txt","req end","pushed push 200","pushed data pushed","pushed end"]on every run.Why the cork and not the JS layer. The frame is already serialized when
pushStream()runs, so only the layer that holds the bytes can reorder them. Deferring the END_STREAM write in JS would move'finish'and thesettled === 5bookkeeping by a tick, andend(data)packs END_STREAM onto the last DATA frame, which cannot be deferred without an extra empty frame.Why this stacks on #42353. An earlier revision of this PR removed the
_finalflush itself and madeDeferredTaskQueue::runrepeat a pass while callbacks post entries. #42353 removes the same flush with a checkpoint-level guarantee (a second microtask drain and a yield task), measured against node overduplexPair, and it explains why a repeated pass is the wrong shape (two in-process peers could starve the loop). That revision is gone. #42353's branch is on an older base that this toolchain cannot build, so its commits ride here as cherry-picks until it lands.Large bodies. A body over 16,374 bytes is split into frames that go to the socket through the batch buffer. Before this PR the END_STREAM frame left with them, so the added conformance cases with 16,400 and 40,000 byte parents fail on the CorkMark change alone. Now the last frame is corked like a small body, after the batch in front of it is flushed. Cost: one more write per large
end(data), coalesced with whatever else the tick corks.Marks that go stale. The generation bumps in
cork()(slot takeover),drain_cork_into(every flush of the cork),release_refs_stranded_by_exit, andtake_cork_tail(a cut shifts every byte past the mark). A corked frame that overflows the cork flushes a full record from insidewrite(), which bumps the generation, so its mark is dropped and the push keeps today's order. The same applies whenrestore_cork_tailwrites a tail back and that write overflows: the marks it sets carry the old generation,take_cork_tailrejects them, and a further push on that parent in the same tick keeps today's order. That needs a parent whose last DATA frame nearly fills the cork and two pushes after it. The fallback is never a corrupted frame.Two streams ended together. The "first of two streams" case responds, ends, and pushes on two open POST streams in one batch. The first push's cut moves the second stream's END_STREAM;
restore_cork_tailmarks it again. With the re-mark disabled the second PUSH_PROMISE lands after its END_STREAM and the case fails, so that clause is load-bearing.Not covered. A PUSH_PROMISE after trailers, or after a HEADERS with END_STREAM (
respond({}, { endStream: true })), is still written after them. nghttp2 refuses those pushes at send time (NGHTTP2_ERR_STREAM_SHUT_WR). A push on a parent that is already closed (end()after anawait, when the request's END_STREAM was seen) throwsERR_HTTP2_PUSH_DISABLEDtoday and is a separate issue.Suites on the debug build.
