FileSink: run the microtask checkpoint for JS entered from a writer callback - #44250
Conversation
…allback A JS stream piped into a sink on a pipe is pumped by microtasks: the next chunk, the stream's close and its error each arrive as one. When the reader drains the pipe, the sink's writable callback resumes the parked pump or closes the sink. The event loop makes that call, so no script frame runs the microtasks it queues. With nothing else alive the process exited with them queued: the rest of the stream was never written and the promise of Bun.write never settled. on_write opens an event-loop scope before it settles the pending write and resumes a parked source, and on_close opens one before it closes the source and settles the pipe's promise. The scope's exit is the checkpoint. Both apply only while a stream is piped in.

The FIFO test read its end with Bun.file(fd).bytes() and timed out on macOS. It now reads the non-blocking end it holds until the writer is gone. The stream carries 16 chunks after the first in place of 64.
on_ready and on_auto_flush keep the code of main. The change is the scope in on_write around the settle and the resume, and the scope in on_close.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
The two test nits from my earlier pass (FIFO poll deadline, tempDir instead of tmpdirSync) are addressed in d752f21. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the scope's drop order in both callbacks: _entered is declared after the RefPtr::init_ref guard, so the checkpoint runs before the guard can drop the last ref, and EnteredEventLoop only holds a Copy of the loop handle, so it never touches the sink on drop. The nested entered() inside run_pending does not double-drain (exit() only drains at count 1), and on the mini loop enter/exit are no-ops.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds an event-loop enter/exit scope to FileSink::on_write and on_close (18 lines of unsafe Rust in src/runtime/webcore/FileSink.rs) so microtasks queued by a piped JS stream's pump are drained when the writer callback comes from the loop, plus seven concurrent subprocess tests. It touches no security-sensitive surface. It is not approvable automatically because the code sits in callbacks that can free this and interacts with microtask-checkpoint ordering, which a maintainer should weigh; the latest commit addressed the prior test feedback and the remaining inline finding is a test-strength nit.
Each pump test now checks that the bytes which arrived are the bytes the stream has at those offsets. The first chunk is 2 MiB, which is still larger than the pipe and socket buffers it has to overflow.

The chunk steps, close steps and error steps of that read are queued withqueueReactionJob(src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/JSReadRequest.cpp). The callback returns, nothing is alive, and the loop ends before the nexttick(). One ref'd timer gives the loop another turn and hides the bug.The fix itself, 20 runs per shape.
