…ready polls The read loop of a readable event repeats while recv() returns a near-full buffer. Its cap of 10 repeats applied only when more than 2 polls were ready. So one connection whose peer sends as fast as the data handler consumes held the thread in one dispatch: no timer, immediate or other poll ran until the peer stopped. The count alone now ends the run, at the amount libuv reads in one event (32 reads of 64 KiB, which is 4 reads of 512 KiB). The poll is level-triggered, so the next iteration reads what stays queued. The drain for an error or EOF event keeps no budget: the code after the loop closes the socket and would discard what is still queued.

The setImmediate chain that marks the loop turns stopped only when the run ended through finish(). When the connection closed early, reported an error, or Bun.connect rejected, the test failed but the chain continued to reschedule itself in the test process. A finally block around the connection and the wait sets the flag that ends the chain on every path.

The count of bytes that marks a turn as full assumed that TLS hands over a share of each byte that it read. It hands over whole records, so four near-full reads can deliver up to one record less than that count. The count now uses whole records. On Windows the read loop stops after 2 reads, so no turn reached the count for 4 reads and each case ran to its cap of 256 MiB. The count that ends the run now follows the platform, and the cap on Windows is 32 MiB. The cap on the other platforms is 128 MiB. When no turn reached the count, the assertion now shows the largest read, the largest turn and the total.

When the peer exited before it printed its port, the read of its stdout ended with an empty string. The test then connected to port 0 and failed with a connect error that did not name the cause. It now fails with the exit code of the peer.

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the three follow-up commits only touch the test and address the earlier inline threads, and loop.c is unchanged since the first commit. Because the change alters the read loop that every POSIX socket passes through, and the form of the bound (4 reads vs. 11 vs. a FIONREAD-derived cap) is a tuning decision the PR itself leaves to a maintainer, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- The
++repeat_recv_count < MAX_RECV_BYTES_PER_EVENT / LIBUS_RECV_BUFFER_LENGTHcondition in packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c: with the counter starting at 0, this yields exactly 4 recv() calls per event; the eof/error drain path above it stays unbounded by the count, as the comment says, and the Windows branch already stops after 2 reads. - The test's failure wiring: peer exit before the port line now rejects with the exit code,
close/erroron both Bun.connect and node:net reject when the run has not ended, and the setImmediate chain ends infinallyon failure. - Fail-for-the-right-reason: on the unfixed loop the run ends at 16 reads in one turn (8 MiB), which exceeds the 2 MiB limit, including when the three modes run concurrently and
num_ready_polls > 2re-enables the old 11-read cap (5.5 MiB, still over the limit).
Extended reasoning...
The diff changes the repeated-read condition in the POSIX branch of us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll in packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c so a readable event performs at most 4 recv() calls regardless of loop->num_ready_polls, and adds a flood-peer fixture plus a three-mode test (tcp, tls, node:net) asserting the per-turn byte bound. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface; the TLS use in the test is only the existing fixture cert. The C change is a few lines and reads correctly, but it sits on the hot path for every socket read and trades a lower per-event bound against roughly 16x more epoll_pwait2 calls per GiB in bulk transfers, a policy choice the PR description explicitly defers to a maintainer. The earlier inline threads were closed by the author after commits that plausibly addressed them (TLS record accounting, Windows sizing, peer-exit reporting); the test on Windows still skips the reached-the-limit assertion with a stated reason, which was already raised. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths.

I worked on the same bug in parallel and found this PR before I opened one. This PR covers it, so I do not open a second one. My branch changes the same condition. It keeps the Two results from that work apply here. 1. Numbers for the open question about the form of the boundThe description lists 11 reads as not built. I measured limits of 4, 11 and 32 reads. All columns use one release binary of main (a4f1429) that takes the limit from an environment variable, so only the limit differs. Linux x64, kernel 7.0, host under load.
Node v26.3.0 on the same host fires the timer at 4002 to 4006 ms with 37 to 39 ticks. It reads at most 32 chunks of 64 KiB (2.00 MiB) in one loop turn.
In these numbers a lower limit costs more loop turns, no CPU that I can measure, and a shorter hold of the loop. 2. The precondition of the testThe test fails when no turn reaches 4 near-full reads. A read gets that long only after the kernel has grown the receive buffer.

Where your model holds: a reader that drains faster than the peer sends, or a link slower than the handler.

The review ended early, so its list of concerns about the code can be incomplete. The concerns that it gave:
Test. The reader runs in the test process. The peer is a child process that sends without pause. The data handler hashes each chunk, so the receive queue stays full. A
setImmediatechain marks the loop turns, and the test records the bytes of each turn. It ends on a count of bytes: 8 turns that read 4 near-full buffers, or 16 buffers in one turn, or 128 MiB in all. It asserts the largest turn, and that one turn reached the limit. Without that second assertion a run whose reads never filled the buffer would pass and prove nothing. When it fails, the output shows the largest read, the largest turn and the total.The content of the stream has its own test, which was there before:
