Problem

  • A node:http2 client that sent GOAWAY (close() or goaway()) still accepts a PUSH_PROMISE. Bun emits the session 'stream' event and delivers the push. node v26.3.0 emits nothing. After close(), a promise with no response keeps the session open.
  • Connection::handle_push_promise (src/runtime/api/bun/h2/connection.rs:1648) always reserves the promised stream. The engine does not see the GOAWAY, because H2FrameParser::send_go_away writes it.

Fix

  • send_go_away sets a flag, and rewrite_read copies it to Connection::goaway_sent before each read. Then handle_push_promise decodes the block and drops it: no stream, no 'stream' event, no reply. nghttp2 does the same: "We just discard PUSH_PROMISE after GOAWAY was sent".
  • HEADERS that would open an even stream on that client (the response to a dropped promise) are decoded and dropped too. Before, that frame opened an internal stream that close() waited for. node fails the session there (see Notes).
  • In the read that runs close(), the streamPush handler refuses the push, like node's onSessionHeaders. It sends no frame.
  • Verified: test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts (11 new cases: 9 fail on 1.4.3, 11 pass on node v26.3.0). Also test/js/node/http2/ and 256 node test-http2-* tests. Self-reviewed: 5 concerns raised, 4 addressed.

Background

  • PUSH_PROMISE is a server frame on a request stream. It reserves an even stream for a push.
  • GOAWAY starts a graceful shutdown. Its sender accepts no new stream from the peer.
  • HPACK has one compression table per connection, so a receiver decodes every header block, also a dropped one.
  • Connection is the inbound HTTP/2 engine. H2FrameParser embeds it, encodes the outbound frames, and calls the JS handlers (streamPush).
Notes

Repro. A raw TCP HTTP/2 server waits for the client's GOAWAY. Then it writes, in one socket.write: SETTINGS ACK, PUSH_PROMISE (parent 1, promised 2), HEADERS END_STREAM on 1. The client calls client.goaway() or client.close() in its 'connect' listener while request stream 1 is open.

node v26.3.0 and this branch: ["req response 200","req end","req close rstCode=0"]   (plus "session close" after close())
bun 1.4.3:                    ["session stream /","req response 200","req end","req close rstCode=0"]   (no "session close" after close())

On node and on this branch the client writes nothing but its GOAWAY.

The new tests on node v26.3.0. I ran the eleven test bodies of the new describe block on node v26.3.0 without changes, with a small stand-in for bun:test (describe, test.each, expect().toEqual on assert.deepStrictEqual, a 5 s limit per test). Result: 11 pass. bun 1.4.3: 9 fail, 2 pass. The two that pass pin behaviour that must not change: the goaway() same-read case, and the order of the two refusals after close(). This branch: 11 pass.

What node does, by frame that follows the client's GOAWAY (same raw server, frames in a later read than the GOAWAY):

server sends node v26.3.0 bun 1.4.3 this branch
PUSH_PROMISE discarded 'stream' event discarded
PUSH_PROMISE, block split over CONTINUATION, then a response on stream 1 that uses a table entry from that block discarded, response decodes 'stream' event discarded, response decodes
PUSH_PROMISE with an odd promised id discarded connection error discarded
PUSH_PROMISE on an idle parent stream discarded 'stream' event discarded
PUSH_PROMISE, then HEADERS and DATA on the promised id session error ERR_HTTP2_ERROR "Protocol error", the request fails push delivered HEADERS dropped, DATA answered with RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED), the request completes
PUSH_PROMISE, then RST_STREAM on the promised id session error pushed stream closes with rstCode=8 session error (RST_STREAM on an idle stream, unchanged code)

The one difference from node: HEADERS on the id of a dropped promise. nghttp2 does not record the dropped id, so the pushed response is HEADERS on an idle stream and node fails the session ("request HEADERS: client received request"). This engine has no idle check for client HEADERS. It opens a fresh entry for HEADERS on an id that it does not know, on_stream_open calls the JS streamStart handler, and that handler builds a ClientHttp2Stream that user code never receives and counts it in #connections. close() waits for that count. So with only the PUSH_PROMISE part of this change, close() never finished when the server sent the pushed response behind the promise. A server does that when it has not read the GOAWAY yet. The two cases "the response to a discarded PUSH_PROMISE leaves no stream open" time out without the handle_headers part. They assert only what node and bun both do (no pushed stream, the request settles, the session closes), so they pass on node too. RFC 9113 section 6.8 allows the discard. Each DATA frame on that id still gets RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED), which is what handle_data does for DATA on every stream with no entry. #42467 changes that for all such streams. #43534 (engine) and #42369 (JS) stop HEADERS from opening a client stream in general. When one of them is in, the guard here has no effect and can go.

When the flag takes effect. nghttp2 raises NGHTTP2_GOAWAY_SENT when it serializes the GOAWAY, and node does that after the read in which goaway() ran. So a PUSH_PROMISE later in the same read is still accepted. The engine flag is copied once per read for that reason, and the case "goaway() from a 'response' listener still accepts a PUSH_PROMISE in the same read" pins it over a duplexPair, where one write is exactly one read. After close() node refuses a new stream in JS at once (session.closed in onSessionHeaders). Over TCP node runs the 'response' listener between the frames of one read, as bun does, so the case "close() from a 'response' listener refuses ..." gives the same events on both. node queues RST_STREAM(REFUSED_STREAM) for that stream, but the frame never reaches the wire: the GOAWAY is queued first, and when nghttp2 sends it, it closes every incoming stream above the GOAWAY's last-stream-id. So the streamPush handler refuses the stream without a frame, and the case asserts that the client writes no RST_STREAM.

Reads that re-enter a dispatch. Over a JS transport (createConnection) the peer's answer to the GOAWAY can reach the parser inside the listener that called goaway(), when a later call there (settings(), request()) flushes the GOAWAY. rewrite_read queues those bytes and drains them after the current batch. The drain loop copies the flag again before each receive(), because those bytes are a later read. The case "goaway() from a 'response' listener discards a PUSH_PROMISE that answers the GOAWAY" covers it.

Order of the two refusals after close(). The streamPush handler checks maxReservedRemoteStreams (CANCEL) before it checks for a closed session (REFUSED_STREAM). node has the same order, because nghttp2 applies the limit before node's JS layer sees the stream. A PUSH_PROMISE that meets both conditions gets RST_STREAM(CANCEL) on node v26.3.0 and on this branch. The case "close() from a 'response' listener leaves a PUSH_PROMISE over maxReservedRemoteStreams to CANCEL" covers it. With the two checks swapped it fails with Expected: 8, Received: 7.

Self-review. Five concerns came back. Addressed: three of the first eight tests asserted behaviour that node does not have (now all nine pass on node). The flag took effect in the middle of a read, which changed the goaway() same-read case away from node (now per read, with a test). The engine read the flag through a new Sink method that two open PRs also add (now a plain Connection field, and BlockDisposition::Ignored has the name and meaning that #43475 uses). The order of the checks had no test for an idle parent (added). Not changed: the review asked to fold this into draft #43475 and to drop the handle_headers guard in favour of #43534. #43475 is the server call site of the same nghttp2 rule and is in rework. It can read Connection::goaway_sent and reuse Ignored as they are. The guard stays because this PR must not make close() hang on its own (see above).

Other PRs in the same function. nghttp2 checks the parent's parity, then the sent GOAWAY, then the promised id, then an idle parent. #43585 (parent checks) and #37563 (promised id order) add the checks around this one. The idle parent case above fails if the idle check runs before the GOAWAY check. An even parent after GOAWAY is a connection error on node and is dropped here until #43585 adds the parity check in front. #36230 adds the same goaway_sent cell to H2FrameParser.

Not in this PR.

  • The server side: a Bun server that sent GOAWAY still serves a new request on that session (node:http2: ignore a request that opens after the server's GOAWAY #43475).
  • A PUSH_PROMISE that node accepts in the same read as goaway() and that gets no response: node closes that pushed stream with REFUSED_STREAM when it serializes the GOAWAY. bun leaves it open, before and after this change.
  • With a JS transport (createConnection), node runs listeners after the whole chunk, so close() in a listener does not stop a PUSH_PROMISE in that chunk. bun runs listeners between frames on every transport, and refuses it.

Suites run on the debug build. h2-conformance.test.ts (81 pass. One case of "stream release after a queued END_STREAM" failed with Received: 4 or 5 in 4 of 11 full-file runs. That is the debug-build flake of #42357 and not this change: with -t on that block it fails 7 of 8 runs on this branch and 8 of 8 runs with main's copy of the test file), node-http2.test.js (389 pass, 6 skip), node-http2-client-close, node-http2-continuation, node-http2-invalid-padding, node-http2-settings-ack-ordering, node-http2-streams-rehash, h2-late-rst-staged, h2-push-refusal-staged, the 256 test/js/node/test/parallel/test-http2-*.js files, the 5 sequential and 18 test-diagnostics-channel-http2-* files, and the grpc-js suites test-server and test-idle-timer.

… GOAWAY

The inbound engine decodes and drops a PUSH_PROMISE once the parser has
written a GOAWAY, like nghttp2's session_allow_incoming_new_stream check.
It reserves no stream and sends nothing. The flag reaches the engine
between reads, which is when nghttp2 serializes a submitted GOAWAY.

HEADERS that would open an even stream on such a client are decoded and
dropped too, so the response to a dropped promise cannot open a stream
that close() then waits for.

After close(), the JS layer refuses a PUSH_PROMISE that follows in the
same read with RST_STREAM(REFUSED_STREAM), as node's onSessionHeaders does.

Status: ready for review

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 and on main at 26e7a4b with a raw TCP HTTP/2 server. The client calls client.goaway() or client.close() while request 1 is open. The server reads the GOAWAY and then sends a PUSH_PROMISE that promises stream 2. bun emits the session 'stream' event, and after close() the session never emits 'close'. node v26.3.0 emits no 'stream' event and closes the session.

USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts -t "PUSH_PROMISE after the client sent GOAWAY" fails 9 of the 11 new tests. The other 2 pin behaviour that must not change. bun bd test passes all 11. The same 11 test bodies pass on node v26.3.0.

Walkthrough

The HTTP/2 implementation records locally sent GOAWAY state, ignores later push streams while maintaining HPACK synchronization, refuses pushes after client close, and adds conformance tests for these cases.

Changes

HTTP/2 GOAWAY push handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
GOAWAY state propagation
src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs, src/runtime/api/bun/h2/connection.rs
The parser records emitted GOAWAY state and passes it to the connection.
Ignored post-GOAWAY push processing
src/runtime/api/bun/h2/connection.rs
The connection decodes ignored push headers for HPACK synchronization without reserving streams or emitting callbacks.
Client close behavior and conformance coverage
src/js/node/http2.ts, test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts
The client refuses pushed streams after close. Tests cover GOAWAY, close, invalid identifiers, continuation frames, callback ordering, and duplex transport.

@coderabbitai The order is on purpose, and node v26.3.0 has the same order. I did not move the #closeCalled check.

In node the reserved-stream limit is a check inside nghttp2 (nghttp2_session_on_push_promise_received, RST_STREAM(CANCEL)). It runs before node's JS layer sees the stream. The session.closed refusal is in JS (onSessionHeaders), so it cannot run for a PUSH_PROMISE that nghttp2 already cancelled.

Measured with a raw server and a client with maxReservedRemoteStreams: 1. Stream 2 is promised and stays reserved. Then the response HEADERS on stream 1 and a PUSH_PROMISE for stream 4 arrive in one write, and the 'response' listener calls close():

node v26.3.0: server receives RST_STREAM sid=4 code=8 (CANCEL)
this branch:  server receives RST_STREAM sid=4 code=8 (CANCEL)

286b147 adds that case to h2-conformance.test.ts ("close() from a 'response' listener leaves a PUSH_PROMISE over maxReservedRemoteStreams to CANCEL"). It passes on node v26.3.0 and on this branch. With the two checks in the suggested order it fails on bun with Expected: 8, Received: 7.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@robobun Thanks for the detailed verification. The order matches Node v26.3.0 behavior.

When maxReservedRemoteStreams is exceeded, the reserved-stream limit must send RST_STREAM(CANCEL) before the closed-session refusal can apply. The added conformance test covers the callback timing that caused the concern. I withdraw the finding.

Learning: In `src/js/node/http2.ts`, keep the reserved-stream limit check before the `#closeCalled` check for incoming server pushes. This matches Node v26.3.0: nghttp2 rejects an over-limit `PUSH_PROMISE` with `RST_STREAM(CANCEL)` before Node's JavaScript closed-session refusal runs. The conformance test `close() from a 'response' listener leaves a PUSH_PROMISE over maxReservedRemoteStreams to CANCEL` verifies this ordering.

Beyond the inline findings, two adjacent concerns were checked and ruled out: RST_STREAM arriving on a discarded promised id still fails the session as an idle-stream error (matching node's behaviour per the PR's own table), and an Ignored header block skips the post-decode rejected/malformed teardown only in the same way the pre-existing Refused and StreamClosed dispositions already do (connection.rs:1247-1268), so it does not weaken an existing limit.

Extended reasoning...

Findings were reported inline, so this body records only what else was examined. The handle_push_promise ignore path still routes the block through finish_or_park_header_block, whose decode loop enforces max_list_size/max_pairs and HPACK errors (COMPRESSION_ERROR GOAWAY) before the disposition check; the early return false for Ignored mirrors the existing Refused and StreamClosed arms, so the change introduces no new bypass relative to those. The RST_STREAM-on-discarded-id path is untouched by the diff and remains an idle-stream connection error, which the PR description itself documents as node's behaviour.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs — Clients on a JS transport still get a 'stream' event for a PUSH_PROMISE the peer sends in reply to their goaway(); node discards it. The drain loop at h2_frame_parser.rs:3678-3685 feeds rewrite_tail into the engine with the goaway_sent snapshot taken at 3572, before goaway() ran. Fix: refresh engine.goaway_sent from the cell before every receive() of queued tail bytes (3685 and the combined path at 3662), since those bytes are the peer's answer to the GOAWAY already on the wire. nghttp2 sets GOAWAY_SENT when it serializes the frame, before the transport write, so node processes the reply with the flag set. [also at: src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs:3572 - Clients on a JS-backed transport still get a session 'stream' event for a push the server sent after reading their goaway(), so the fix does not apply to them.]

    Extended reasoning...

    A client uses createConnection with a Duplex whose peer runs in-process (duplexPair, an http2-over-anything tunnel, a test harness). A 'response' listener calls session.goaway(). H2FrameParser::send_go_away at 2207 sets the cell and writes the GOAWAY; the JS write handler pushes it to the peer synchronously. The peer's 'data' handler runs synchronously (push into a flowing Readable with an empty buffer) and writes PUSH_PROMISE back. That lands in rewrite_read at 3553 while the engine cell is borrowed, so 3560-3562 queue it into rewrite_tail. The outer receive returns; the loop at 3678 takes the tail and calls engine.receive at 3685. engine.goaway_sent was copied once at 3572, before goaway() ran, so it is still false. handle_push_promise at connection.rs:1730 reads ignored = false, reserves the stream, on_push_promise fires, JS streamPush at http2.ts:4977 sees #closeCalled false (goaway, not close) and emits 'stream'. On node the GOAWAY is serialized in SendPendingData before the JS transport write, so GOAWAY_SENT is set when the reply arrives and the…

    Verification: pre-existing (the base branch accepts every PUSH_PROMISE after goaway(); this PR's fix simply does not reach the reentrant-tail path, so merging makes nothing worse — but the compat gap the PR claims to close stays open on JS transports). Trigger: a client over a JS Duplex (createConnection/duplexPair) whose in-process peer answers the GOAWAY synchronously with a PUSH_PROMISE while the outer…

rewrite_read drains the bytes that a re-entrant read() queued without a
new copy of the GOAWAY flag. Over a JS transport the peer's answer to the
GOAWAY can arrive that way, when a later call in the same listener
flushes the GOAWAY. The drain loop now copies the flag before each
receive().
node's RST_STREAM(REFUSED_STREAM) for a stream that it refuses after
close() never reaches the wire: nghttp2 closes that stream when it sends
the GOAWAY, which is queued first. The streamPush handler now refuses the
stream without a frame, and the same-read close() case asserts that the
client writes no RST_STREAM.

On the three findings of the review:

  1. A PUSH_PROMISE that answers the GOAWAY over a JS transport (the re-entrant read). Confirmed and fixed in 5931b26. goaway() alone does not reproduce it, because the GOAWAY stays corked until the read ends. A later call in the same listener that flushes the cork does: with client.goaway(); client.settings(...) (or client.request(...)) over a duplexPair, the raw server's answer re-entered the dispatch and the client emitted 'stream'. The drain loop of rewrite_read now copies the flag before each receive(). New case: "goaway() from a 'response' listener discards a PUSH_PROMISE that answers the GOAWAY". It fails on the previous commit and passes on node v26.3.0.
  2. RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED) per DATA frame on the dropped id. Not changed, answered in the thread: it is the engine's answer for DATA on every stream with no entry, and node:http2: drop DATA and WINDOW_UPDATE on a closed stream like nghttp2 #42467 changes that for all of them. The PR description no longer calls those DATA frames dropped.
  3. last_stream_id after the ignored HEADERS. Not changed, answered in the thread with a measurement: the bump is what lets a server cancel its own push (RST_STREAM on that id) without a connection error.

The later note about the close() refusal test is also answered in its thread: node never puts that RST_STREAM on the wire, so 3f1349d refuses the stream without a frame and the test asserts that no RST_STREAM leaves.

All 11 new cases pass on node v26.3.0 and on the debug build. 9 fail on bun 1.4.3.
