sql: dial a closed pool slot again for the callers still queued on the pool

[robobun]

Problem

• When the last open connection closes, the pool rejects a queued query, sql.reserve() or sql.begin() with ERR_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_CLOSED / ERR_MYSQL_CONNECTION_CLOSED. That caller never used the connection. The next caller gets a new one.
• The cause is BaseSQLAdapter.release() (src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts:1182): it fails both queues for a closed slot.

Fix

• release() no longer fails queued callers. When an established connection closes with callers queued, connectionClosed() dials that slot again. A failed dial still fails them.
• redial() puts a new pooled connection object into the slot, so a closed reservation or a dead transaction cannot reach it.
• That dial waits one event loop turn: native code closes the old socket first.
• Verified: test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts (103 pass, 67 fail on main), real PostgreSQL and MariaDB, all of test/js/sql/. Self-reviewed: 38 concerns raised, 34 addressed.

Background

• The pool has max slots. A caller that finds none free waits in a queue.
• An established connection finished its handshake.
• No user reported this. sql: retry connect failures while queries are waiting #32028 kept "closes of established connections all still fail immediately". This PR changes that for queued callers: a maintainer must agree.
• Weighed: a flag set by reserved.close(). It misses closes that the program did not ask for.

Downsides

• With the server gone, queued callers wait up to connectionTimeout where main fails them at once. A server that drops every new connection costs one dial per queued begin() or reserve() (main: 0).
• A sql.begin() callback whose connection dropped no longer holds its slot, so max limits connections, not callbacks.
• +1,089 bytes of builtin JS. Per pool query: 0 added bytecode instructions.

Notes

Where this came from. No user reported it. The automated review of #44799 found it and called it "pre-existing, not blocking". The review of the closed #39617 said the same. The tracker has no report of a queued caller that another connection's close rejected. The one user item near this is #39563. It asks for an option that turns automatic reconnection off. This PR adds no option. It gives the callers that are already queued what the pool already gives the next caller.

Question for a maintainer. #32028 made the pool retry a connect failure "for queries already waiting", and its scope guard says: "closes of established connections all still fail immediately". This PR keeps that line for work on the connection that closed. It moves the line for callers that are still in the pool's queue. If the answer is no, one part can land alone: redial() with a new object in place of retry()/doRetry(), with the release() arm as on main. That part fixes the stale handles below and changes nothing for queued callers.

What changes for a program. "Queued" means still in waitingQueue or reservedQueue. A plain query waits there only behind a reservation, a transaction, or a pending reserve().

Case	main	this PR
max: 1, reserved.close() with callers queued	rejected with the close error	served on a new connection
default max, 10 stalled sql.begin() hold the slots, 5 callers queued, the server ends all 10 sessions (PostgreSQL 17)	5 of 5 reject ERR_POSTGRES_EXPECTED_REQUEST, 0 sessions left	5 of 5 resolve, 10 sessions
max: 3, the server ends the 3 sessions at 400, 1200 and 2000 ms, 3 callers queued (PostgreSQL 17)	all reject at 2012 ms	all resolve at 530 to 598 ms
max: 2, one reservation closed, the other held	the caller waits for the holder	served on a third connection
nothing listens for the new connection	rejected at once with the close error	ERR_*_CONNECTION_REFUSED after one dial
the server accepts the new connection and closes it before the handshake	rejected at once	ERR_*_CONNECTION_FAILED: after 1 dial with connectionTimeout: 0, after 5 dials and 1.4 s with connectionTimeout: 1
nobody queued	no dial until the next caller	same
the pool is closing (sql.close() pending)	rejected	same: a closing pool does not dial
a query that was already assigned to the connection, sent or not	rejected with the close error	same

Stale handles and dead holders. On main a redial reuses the pooled connection object. So reserved.unsafe() on a closed reservation, or tx.unsafe() in a callback whose connection dropped, runs on the connection that the slot got later, outside its transaction. That reproduces on main with nobody queued. With a new object per dial those statements reject and do not reach the server. The error is untyped today (connection must be a PostgresSQLConnection). #43249 gives it a code.
The callback of a sql.begin() whose connection dropped no longer holds the slot. A later sql.begin() or sql.reserve() starts while that callback still runs. So max limits connections, not callbacks. Since 1.4.0 (#33743) such a caller waited for the dead callback. #43205 describes the same problem.

Why the dial waits one event loop turn. For idleTimeout, maxLifetime and server errors, native code runs the close callback first and closes the socket after it (fail_with_js_value in both drivers). A dial inside the callback reaches the server before the old socket closes. A mock that counts open sockets at accept time shows it: without the wait the new connection arrives while 1 is open, with the wait 0. The wait is an immediate, parked like a backoff retry: the slot counts as connecting, and close() cancels it. When its turn comes, the pool dials only if it is still open and a caller is still queued. The immediate is armed as the owner of the SQL instance, so a Bun.ModuleGraph that closed the reservation does not take the dial with it when it is disposed.
Weighed: a 0 ms timer in place of the immediate. jest.useFakeTimers() holds a timer, so the queued callers then wait until the test moves its clock.
What remains: a server that counts a session until its backend has exited can refuse the new connection. PostgreSQL 17 with a role limit of 1 and max: 1 refused 11 of 1000 redials after reserved.close() and 69 of 1000 after idleTimeout (SQLSTATE 53300, debug build). Main rejects all 1000 queued callers. pg-pool dials at the same point. The 0 ms timer gives the server 1 ms more and lowers that to 3 and 8 of 1000. A caller that comes in a microtask of the close event, with nobody queued, still dials at once, as on main.

Cost, measured (this branch against its base, one debug build, Linux x64. Taken before #44618 was merged into the branch. That commit does not touch the pool functions).

• Per pool query: 0 added bytecode instructions. The connected paths of release() run 44, 38 and 39 instructions on both. flushConcurrentQueries, bindQuery, onQueryFinish, maxDistribution, onQueryConnected, queryFromPoolHandler and handleConnected have identical bytecode (BUN_JSC_dumpGeneratedBytecodes=1).
• Per pooled connection that the pool creates: +4 instructions (one more argument in createPooledConnection, the constructor 17 to 18, the field initializer 29 to 31) and one more property.
• Per close with nobody queued: an idle slot 180 to 130 instructions, 2 to 0 array allocations, 1 to 0 pool scans. reserved.close() 291 to 171, 4 to 0 arrays, 2 to 0 scans. A refused connect cycle with one query queued: 191 to 186.
• Static size: release() 175 to 76 instructions, connect() 218 to 219 (the call in the closed-slot loop), handleClose 55 to 58, #finishClose 102 to 107, cancelRetry 11 to 19, #canKeepRetrying 36 to 29, #retryTimerFired 24 to 25. New: connectionClosed 75, redial 34, #parkedDialFired 23, dial 21, #isDialWanted 18, canRedial 16, #parkDial 16. Removed: retry 28, doRetry 19.
• Builtin JS in release mode: internal/sql/shared.js 45,608 to 46,657 bytes, postgres.js and mysql.js +20 each. The same bundling step reproduces the debug build's shared.js byte for byte. No native file changes.
• Per redial: a new pooled connection object and its Set. After 1000 cycles of reserve(), close(), query, a forced GC leaves no more cells than before the cycles (main -138, this branch -56, without the mock's log strings). A closed reservation handle that the program keeps holds its closed connection: +6 cells per handle (the object, its Set, a butterfly, the close Error, 2 strings).
• Dials: one queued caller costs 1 dial (main 0, caller rejected). Three queued sql.begin() against a server that drops each new connection cost 3 dials and then none. No delay and no budget were added for that loop. Each dial hands its connection to one queued caller at once, so the queue bounds it.
• Not measured: instructions and syscalls of a pool query. perf, valgrind, strace and bloaty are not installed here. Wall clock over 3000 pool queries, 6 interleaved runs on the debug build: median 4927 µs per query on main and 4820 µs here (-2.2 %), while main alone spreads 17.6 %.

Tests.

• sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts, mock block, both adapters: 38 cases per adapter. With main's pool code 58 of the 94 mock cases fail.
• One of those cases uses Bun.ModuleGraph: the dial for a queued query of the host outlives the graph whose script closed the reservation. One runs under jest.useFakeTimers(): the queued query gets its connection while the test clock stands still.
• The same file, real servers (describeWithContainer, 9 cases per server): the three kinds of queued caller behind reserved.close(), behind a session that the server ends (pg_terminate_backend, KILL CONNECTION), and beside a held slot at max: 2. The PostgreSQL cases run wherever a server is reachable: 9 of 9 pass here and 9 of 9 fail on main. The MySQL cases log in as root with an empty password over TCP, so they run against the CI container only and are a describe.todo elsewhere. Here they ran as a copy against MariaDB 11.8 over its unix socket, with the same result. test/docker/prestart-map.mjs now lists the file, so CI starts both services for it.
• All of test/js/sql/ (71 files, debug build, local PostgreSQL 17 and MariaDB 11.8), run once with main's pool code and once with this branch's, both on main 6c1eb06: 1876 pass and 236 fail on main, 1944 pass and 168 fail here. No test fails only on this branch. The difference is the 67 cases of this file and one timing test that failed in main's run (json/jsonb bind parameter does not leak the stringified payload). Most of the 168 that fail in both runs are MySQL container tests: the local MariaDB refuses root over TCP.
• Mutations of the change: 43 tried. 37 fail a case of this file. 2 more fail a case of sql-connect-error-reporting.test.ts or sql-close-pending-connection.test.ts. The last 4 change no behaviour that a test can see (the order of the two calls at the end of #finishClose, the release(this, true) there, the clearImmediate of a cancelled dial, the established argument of a dial that is no longer wanted).
• Not run here: Windows, macOS, TLS. CI runs Windows and macOS. The mock block listens once per test, as the older tests of this file do. test(sql): share one mock server per file in postgres fault-injection tests #33962 moved two other files to one listener per file after Windows CI refused loopback connects.

Not in this PR.

• A server that ends a session with an error while a plain pool query runs on it (pg_terminate_backend of an active query). The in-band FATAL rejects the query and leaves the slot connected (PostgresSQLConnection.rs:2975-3003), so release() hands the dying connection to the first queued reserve() or begin() before the close arrives. That caller still fails. Callers behind a reservation or a transaction are served. The fix is native.
• Pool queries that are assigned to a connection and not sent yet. They still fail with the connection. Giving them back to the pool is a native change in both drivers. The draft sql: a closed pool connection hands its unsent requests back to the pool #44924 does that.
• A pool whose slots closed with nobody queued keeps plain queries on the connection that is left. connect() dials a closed slot only when no connection is ready. sql: grow connection pool lazily instead of opening max on first use #30636 rewrites that function.
• A connect notification that arrives after the close event marks the slot connected (sql: deliver onconnect before onclose so a connection killed right after connecting can't strand a query #40913, Bun.SQL: graceful close stays pending after server terminates sibling pool connections, despite all onclose callbacks firing #42804).
• idleTimeout and maxLifetime close a connection that is checked out (sql: don't kill in-flight queries when idleTimeout/maxLifetime fires #30648).
• TLS. This PR has no TLS test. tls: consolidate the open TLS fixes (both engines, node:tls, node:https, WebSocket, SQL) #44618, now on main, closes the TLS socket of a closed reservation at once, so the close event comes at the same point as without TLS.
• An option to turn reconnection off (Bun.SQL: give users control over pooling — an option to disable automatic reconnection, so custom pool implementations can be built on the native client #39563), and a timeout for a queued caller. pg-pool, mysql2 and postgres.js have no queue timeout by default.
• docs/runtime/sql.mdx says nothing about queued callers on main, and this PR adds nothing.

Other open PRs on these lines.

• sql: a closed pool connection hands its unsent requests back to the pool #44924 (draft) also adds a dial to #finishClose, for a dropped connection when callers are queued and no other connection is up. Applied alone to main's shared.ts, that hunk makes 4 more cases of this file pass (40 of 94): a socket lost with a query in flight, and a socket lost during sql.begin(), on each adapter. The reserved.close() cases still fail with it. The close handler of the reservation calls release(), and release() fails the queues before the hunk runs. The two PRs conflict in #finishClose. With this PR connectionClosed() covers the case of that hunk.
• sql: reject a query cancelled before it runs, finish close({ timeout }) when the work drains, send no COMMIT after tx.close() #44799 makes a drained reserved.close({ timeout }) close its connection. With this PR that arm serves the queued callers with no further change.
• sql: finish the pool slot's close transition before calling the user's onclose #43958 moves lines in #finishClose, and sql: grow connection pool lazily instead of opening max on first use #30636 rewrites connect(). Both conflict with this diff.
• sql: release the pool slot of sql.begin() when its connection closes #43205 releases the slot of a dropped sql.begin() at close time. This PR makes that slot free in another way.

Self-review. 38 points raised, 34 addressed. The first review changed the design in three ways. The dial now starts on every established close with a caller queued, not only when no other slot is open. It waits until the old socket is closed. The sweep that dialed every closed slot is gone. A second read of the final diff raised five more points, and four are addressed. The dial waited in a 0 ms timer, which fake timers hold: it is an immediate now. It started on a pool that began to close in the same turn: it now checks again when its turn comes. redial() left a hole in the slot while the new connection dialed, so a password function that closed the pool made close() resolve before that dial had ended: the new connection is in its slot before it dials now. The test file was not in test/docker/prestart-map.mjs.
Not taken:

• A dial at enqueue for pools that shrank while idle. That is a different state, listed above.
• A split of the new-object redial into a PR of its own. That part already changes behaviour, see the question above.
• The landing order against sql: reject a query cancelled before it runs, finish close({ timeout }) when the work drains, send no COMMIT after tx.close() #44799 and sql: finish the pool slot's close transition before calling the user's onclose #43958. A maintainer decides it.
• One mock listener per file in place of one per test. Windows is not available here to measure it.

Credit. The test that tells an established close from a failed connect cycle, state === connected read in handleClose, comes from #44924.

Walkthrough

The SQL pool replaces eligible closed connections with fresh pooled connections when callers are queued. It supports deferred replacement dials and distinguishes established-connection closes from failed connection attempts. PostgreSQL and MySQL tests cover fault-injection and container-backed scenarios.

Changes

SQL Pool Connection Redial

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred dialing and connection lifecycle src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts, src/js/internal/sql/mysql.ts, src/js/internal/sql/postgres.ts	Pooled connections can defer their initial dial and track whether a close followed an established connection. The MySQL and PostgreSQL adapters forward the optional dial setting.
Pool slot replacement and queued callers src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts	The adapter replaces eligible closed slots with fresh pooled connections. Queued callers wait when a connection is available or being redialed; otherwise, the adapter fails them with a connection error.
Redial regression coverage test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts, test/docker/prestart-map.mjs	Tests cover connection failures and replacement behavior for PostgreSQL and MySQL. The prestart map enables both database containers for the test.

Status: ready for review. #44938

How it was reproduced: one reservation holds the only connection of a max: 1 pool. A query waits in the pool's queue. Then the program closes the reservation.

import { SQL } from "bun";
const sql = new SQL({ url: process.env.DATABASE_URL, max: 1 });
const reserved = await sql.reserve();
const queued = sql`select 1 as x`.execute();
await reserved.close();
console.log(

bun 1.4.3 and main (6c1eb067e3), PostgreSQL 17:  ERR_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_CLOSED
this branch:                                     [{"x":1}]

The test file runs the same sequence for a queued query, sql.reserve() and sql.begin(), on both adapters: bun bd test test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts fails 67 of 103 cases with main's src/ and passes 103 with this branch (94 cases against mock servers, 9 against PostgreSQL).

Beyond the inline finding, I re-checked the second commit's slot swap: createPooledConnection(true) runs no user code before this.connections[index] = fresh, so a password function that calls sql.close() during fresh.dial() now finds fresh pending in its slot, cancelRetry() returns false, and #close() sets onFinish and awaits it. The connect() closed-slot loop also tolerates the in-place replacement since it reads this.connections[i] fresh each iteration.

Extended reasoning...

The new commit (7b4692a) moves the fresh pooled connection into its connections[] slot before the first dial, which is the shape the earlier hole concern asked for; the rest of the pool rework (redial/connectionClosed replacing retry/doRetry and the release() queue drain) is unchanged since the prior review. The change touches no auth or injection surface, but it is a nontrivial lifecycle rewrite of shared pool code used by both Postgres and MySQL, so a human maintainer should still weigh the behavioral change for queued callers that the author flags in the description.

Still open from earlier reviews (2):

• Unresolved: 2 minor or pre-existing.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the three points from earlier rounds are addressed in the code (the fresh connection now sits in its slot before it dials, the pool comments are one line each, and the MySQL real-server cases gate on the CI container and register a describe.todo when skipped). A maintainer look is still worthwhile because this changes pool semantics that #32028 deliberately kept, as the description itself asks.

What was reviewed:

• redial() / connectionClosed() against the deleted retry() / doRetry() / release() drain: queue-fail condition polarity, storedError || connectionClosedError() fallback, and the onAllQueriesFinished trigger carry over.
• #parkedDialFired when nobody is queued anymore: it marks the slot closed without a native handle, and cancelRetry() clears the parked immediate so #close() does not wait on it.
• connect() replacing this.connections[i] mid-loop via redial(): indexed iteration, so no skipped slot.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites how src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts re-opens a closed pool slot while callers are queued, replacing in-place retry() with a fresh pooled connection object per redial and moving the queue-drain logic from release() into connectionClosed(); postgres.ts and mysql.ts only pass the new dialLater flag through, and the test file adds ~950 lines of mock-server and real-server cases. It touches no injection, auth or data-exposure surface beyond the existing password-function callback, which is now exercised with the slot already assigned. Defer rather than approve because the PR intentionally changes observable pool behavior for queued callers (previously rejected on an established close, now redialed up to connectionTimeout) against a scope guard an earlier PR set, and the author explicitly asks a maintainer to decide that; the prior inline findings were resolved by this bot's own session rather than by a human, so I verified each fix from the diff instead.
