Bun.serve: run the microtask checkpoint when a writable callback resumes script - #46822
For a slow client, a Bun.serve writable callback resumes the body and runs script: pull(), the code after an awaited write(), HTMLRewriter handlers. on_writable_response_stream and on_writable_byte_stream (RequestContext.rs) run it with the event loop not entered and no microtask checkpoint.
Its jobs wait for the next loop callback. A 16 MiB HTTP/2 stream from an idle server takes 9.9 s (1.4.2 to main).
A store that pull() enters with enterWith() reaches the next request on another connection.
Fix
Both callbacks open an event-loop scope around the resume. Its exit is the checkpoint. The HTTP/2 stream takes 0.04 s.
The scope opens only when the drain reaches script (producer_runs_script(), on_writable_reaches_script()).
Verified: 22 new tests in html-rewriter.test.js and serve-direct-readable-stream.test.ts, all fail on main. 36 more suites in Notes.
EventLoop::enter() and exit() count native entries. The outermost exit() runs the checkpoint.
Considered a scope inside ByteStream::resume: script calls it too, so jobs run mid-statement. Notes: a scope around every ready poll.
Downsides
A writable callback that resumes script runs one checkpoint (194 instructions when empty), one more send() that returns EAGAIN and two fewer epoll_ctl() (Linux).
A byte-stream body with no rewriter pays 6 more instructions per callback (21 to 27). .text grows by 1,024 bytes.
Still late (Notes): script inside the request dispatch, HTTP/2 writes started outside the socket event, HTTP/3, FileSink.
Notes
All numbers are from Linux x64. Release builds unless a line says debug. Debug builds have ASAN. The instruction counts, sizes and syscall counts are from main 7d240c1 with this branch on top of it. The branch is now on 179664e. The rebase renamed wrapper.sink to sink in one hunk (#46641) and changed nothing else. Every test result is from 179664e.
This is the follow-up that #46557 names under "Left for later". It does not depend on that PR. #46740 covers a pull() that ends the response inside the dispatch of the request.
HTTP/2. A stream body parks on the 256 KiB high-water mark of the stream, and the writable callback resumes it. On main that callback runs from two places (gdb backtraces): the data event of the connection's socket, and Http2Context::sweep inside the deferred task queue. Neither runs a checkpoint, and the jobs of the resumed pump wait until something else wakes the loop. This branch gives the first one its checkpoint, so the pump runs on inside the socket event. 16 MiB from an idle server:

What the tests show.serve-body-jobs-fixture.ts runs a probe once, in the script that the writable callback runs. The client takes nothing until the dispatch of the request has filled the transport. It then reads the response to its end, and the fixture exits. Each test asserts the order, the state of the response, stderr and the exit code.
A probe that does not run is an assertion failure. When the response ends, the helper stops the fixture, and the order is undefined. That is the case when the transport takes the whole response, so that nothing waits for the writable callback. With a 256 KiB file the helper reports it in 32 ms. With a 1 KiB end() body and the probe for the code after an await, it takes about 40 ms over HTTP/1.1 and over HTTP/2: the timer chain of that probe stops when the helper stops the fixture. Over HTTP/2, a stream that the server resets counts as cut off. Before the later pushes, each of these cases ran into the 5 s limit of the test.

On an unref'd server with nothing else on the loop, main exits before the jobs of a pull() run and cuts the response off. This branch runs them and completes the response. No test covers this case.
The tests are subprocesses, because any other callback that the loop enters runs the checkpoint that the writable callback did not run.
A rewriter that the request body feeds (transform(new Response(request.body))) takes its input from a native stream. The other rewriter tests use a file or a script. The handler of the first <b> answers with one write of 16 MiB, so the rewriter waits for the socket. The client then sends the rest of the body, with the second <b>, and reads only after that. The debug log shows the path: onBufferedBodyChunk 7 true, ByteStream.onData sink paused → buffer, then one onWritableByteStream, which runs the second handler with the probe and ends the response. If the socket takes the write whole, the second handler runs before the client has said that the rest is sent. The fixture then prints the socket did not fill, and the test fails (checked with a write of 1 KiB, 40 of 40 runs). The test fails on the debug build of main in 25 of 25 runs, and on the release build of 1.4.3-canary in 40 of 40. It passes on the debug build of this branch in 25 of 25 runs.
Platforms: the probes with a timer depend on the order in which the POSIX loop runs its phases, so they are skipped on Windows. The ws.close() probes run on every platform, for a stream body over HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 (a pull() that throws included) and for a rewriter that a stream feeds. A rewriter over a file is skipped on Windows: there the event loop reads the file, and the handlers do not run in the writable callback. A rewriter over the request body is skipped on Windows: Winsock takes one write of any size whole, so the write of the first handler does not fill the socket there. The cross-request test uses no timer. It is with the stream tests and not in AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts, because that file has a test that fails on the debug build of main in this container.
Each clause is needed (debug, the 20 tests of the first push, one clause removed at a time. The request-body test and the HTTP/2 test of a pull() that throws are newer than this table):

On main the callback returns with nothing to send, so the socket leaves the writable set and joins it again at the next write. On this branch the pump writes inside the callback until the socket is full. macOS was not measured.
Scopes per writable callback, from the debug logs of a 16 MiB rewritten file that a slow client reads: main opens 0 in 23 callbacks. This branch opens 1 in each of 23 callbacks, and each of them ran a content handler. For a request body echo, this branch opens 0 in 8 callbacks.
Why the two gates.on_writable_byte_stream also serves bodies with no script behind them: a proxied fetch() body, a request body echo, an S3 download. ByteStream::producer_runs_script() is an exhaustive match over SourceHandle, so a new producer does not compile until someone decides. For a stream sink, the source is always the JS pump. source_pending_pull says that the pump or a write() waits for the drain, and pending_flush() says that a flush(true) or an end() does.
Why no pin in on_writable_byte_stream.#46557 says that the checkpoint belongs to these callbacks "with a ref on the stream held first". on_writable_response_stream already pins the context, and the scope ends before the pin. on_writable_byte_stream needs no ref: resume() can end the response and release the context, and the handler reads nothing of the context or the stream after resume(), as on main. The scope holds only the event loop. The SAFETY comment now says so. The request-body test covers this case under ASAN: its writable callback ends the response and frees the context inside resume(), and the scope ends after that.
Why not one scope around every ready poll.#40021 puts one around uv_run on Windows. Around each ready poll, the scope of every callback is nested, so no callback runs a checkpoint of its own: the open and the messages that one read delivers lose the checkpoint between them. A plain drain after each ready poll has no scope, so ws.close() in the script still runs the jobs mid-statement, and every ready poll pays for it.
A handler that returns a pending promise already gets a checkpoint from handler_callback (#36733), so its order against a timer and its store were right on main. What changes for it is the second row of the table: a call such as ws.close() in it no longer runs the queued jobs before it returns.
The store leak has a precondition. A stream that is made while a store is active puts that store back after pull(). The leak needs a stream that is made with no store active, as in the tests. With a stream made under a store, the fetch handler of B reads undefined on main too.
Which bodies reach these callbacks. A body reaches a writable callback when the transport did not take all of it in the dispatch of the request. transform() feeds the first chunk of its input itself (256 KiB of a file), so a smaller rewritten file does not reach the callback.
Not fixed. No issue tracks these. Each one is named here with its owner, if it has one.
Script that the render runs inside the dispatch of the request, after the last checkpoint of the dispatcher. This is the content handlers that the first drain signal runs in do_render_with_body, a pull() that throws, and the error() hook. On this branch a store that such a content handler enters still reaches the next pipelined request (a 300 KiB file: the fetch handler of B reads the store of A). No PR owns it. Bun.serve: run the microtask checkpoint after a pull() that ended the response #46740 covers a pull() that ends the response. The dispatchers hold the loop entered with no checkpoint at the end, and RequestContext drains at chosen points (see the comment above on_response), so the owner of that drain is a maintainer's choice.
The end of a response while a read of the request body is pending. end_request_streaming_and_drain() rejects that read and drains with the loop not entered. A ws.close() in the rejection handler of request.text() still runs the queued jobs before it returns, on both builds, when a Blob, string or file body of 24 MiB finishes from its writable callback. This also holds for the last callback of a body with no script behind it in on_writable_byte_stream. Two fixes are possible and neither is built: hold the loop entered across that drain, as on_abort does, or make EventLoop::exit() skip the checkpoint while script is on the stack.
HTTP/2 writes that start outside the socket event of the connection, for example after a timer. Http2Context::sweep resumes the stream from the deferred task queue, and exit() runs no checkpoint inside that queue. With a client that has 32 MiB windows, 8 awaited writes of 1 MiB take 3.8 s on main and 2.9 s on this branch. http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 adds one drain after the deferred queue behind a flag that only node:http2 sets.
HTTP/3. The QUIC flush at the tail of a checkpoint (drain_quic_if_necessary) delivers writable callbacks while the loop is entered. The scope is nested there.
FileSink::on_auto_flush, for example Bun.write(pipe, rewritten), which runs inside the deferred task queue, and FileSink::on_ready on Windows.
Visible changes in behavior.
The jobs run before the next callback of the loop. Code that relied on a timer or an I/O callback to run first sees the other order.
A call that enters and exits the event loop from inside this script (ws.close(), server.upgrade()) no longer runs the queued jobs before it returns.
An AsyncLocalStorage.enterWith() store that this script enters ends with the callback.
When pull() or a content handler throws in the writable callback, the rejection of the body and the close of the connection now run before the callback returns.
Not run. Windows and macOS. bun run rust:check-all passes for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and aarch64-apple-darwin.

These have failures that the debug build of main also has in this container. Each was run on both builds:
serve.test.ts: 332 pass. The root-port test fails because the container runs as root. "should be able to abort a sendfile response and streams" runs at its 10 s limit on both builds.
bun-server.test.ts: 86 pass in 4 of 5 runs. One run has two 5 s timeouts. Main has one in 1 of 4 runs.
AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts: "re-entering a storage inside run() does not grow the context" fails on both.
fetch.stream.test.ts: 19 to 22 tests pass their 5 s limit late, 18 to 20 on main.
serve-stream-body-error, serve-protocols, serve-file-slice-read-error, serve-epoll-add-fail and html-rewriter-leak start many debug processes at once, and some runs hit a 5 s limit on both builds. In 14 runs of the slowest serve-stream-body-error tests in random order, this branch had a timeout in 1 run, and each of two copies of main's build had one in 1 run.

…mes script
The socket's writable callback resumes a streamed body. For the output
of an HTMLRewriter it runs the content handlers. For a stream sink it
resumes the pump, which calls pull(), and it settles an awaited write(),
flush(true) or end(). Both callbacks entered that script with the event
loop not entered and ran no checkpoint. The nextTick callbacks and
promise jobs of the script ran after the next loop callback, and a
nested enter()/exit() pair ran them in the middle of the script.
on_writable_byte_stream and on_writable_response_stream now open an
event-loop scope when the drain reaches script. The exit of the scope
is the checkpoint.
The order of the jobs and the AsyncLocalStorage store are in the tests: "jobs of the script that the socket's writable callback runs for a stream body" in test/js/bun/http/serve-direct-readable-stream.test.ts, and "jobs of the script that the socket's writable callback runs for a rewritten Bun.serve body" in test/js/workerd/html-rewriter.test.js. All 22 fail on main and pass on this branch.

Walkthrough
Writable callbacks now conditionally enter event-loop scopes when draining or resuming reaches script. New HTTP test helpers and cases probe callback ordering, response completion, thrown errors, and async-local state across HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
ByteStream::producer_runs_script identifies HTMLRewriter producers. HTTPServerWritable::on_writable_reaches_script checks for a pending pull or flush promise. The writable callbacks use these checks to conditionally enter an event-loop scope.
The fixture supports callback-order probes and streamed response scenarios. The helper applies HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 backpressure and reports callback order and response completion.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the _entered guard that outlives resume() in on_writable_byte_stream — EventLoopEnterGuard holds only the VM-owned *mut EventLoop (nothing borrowed from this), so dropping it after end_chunk frees the context is safe. The producer_runs_script() match is exhaustive over SourceHandle, and source_pending_pull/pending_flush() are both set and cleared on the sink's existing pull/flush paths, so the gates are live.
Extended reasoning...
The change wraps the two uWS writable callbacks in RequestContext.rs with an event-loop scope gated by two new predicates in streams.rs and ByteStream.rs, plus subprocess fixtures and tests for job ordering. It touches no security-sensitive surface. One confirmed finding (the Http2Context::sweep resume path still lacks a checkpoint) is posted inline; the guard-lifetime and gate-liveness concerns were ruled out from the code.
This takes dc190ea out again. #46822 already opens an event-loop
scope in `RequestContext::on_writable_byte_stream`, for every producer
that runs script, and in `on_writable_response_stream` too. The two
changes rewrote the same call and did not merge.
The `FileReader` change does not depend on it.
The new test feeds `HTMLRewriter.transform()` from `request.body`. The
first handler fills the socket with one write. The client then sends the
rest of the body, which waits in the server, and the writable callback
that drains the socket runs the second handler. If the socket takes the
write whole, the fixture says so and the test fails.
A response that ends before the probe has run is now an assertion
failure. The helper stops the fixture when the response ends, and the
order is undefined. Before, the test ran into its time limit.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the guard ordering in both native sites: in on_writable_byte_stream the _entered guard holds only the VM's event-loop pointer (VirtualMachine.rs:1569-1573), so its drop after resume() frees this touches nothing freed; in on_writable_response_stream it is declared after pinned, so the checkpoint runs while the context is still pinned. The producer_runs_script match is exhaustive over SourceHandle, so a new variant fails to compile rather than silently skipping the scope.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds an event-loop scope (and thus a microtask checkpoint on exit) to two uWS writable callbacks in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, gated by two new predicates in ByteStream.rs and streams.rs, plus a subprocess fixture and ~20 ordering tests. It touches core event-loop entry semantics for Bun.serve streaming bodies, no security-sensitive surface. The two confirmed inline findings are test-robustness nits (hang-to-timeout instead of a failing assertion), and the HTTP/2 Http2Context::sweep resume path raised in the prior run remains unaddressed by code and was only author-resolved, so a human should still weigh the change.
The "turn" probe armed an immediate in each turn of the loop until the
probe ran. It now stops when the test closes stdin, so the fixture exits
when the response ended before the probe.
Over HTTP/2, a stream that the server resets now counts as cut off. The
helper waited for a last DATA frame or for the end of the connection.
The test of a `pull()` that throws now runs over HTTP/2 too.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
I re-reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; both nits from my last pass are addressed in a6414d6 (arm() now stops on ended, and overHttp2 settles on RST_STREAM). Since this changes when the microtask checkpoint runs inside Bun.serve's writable callbacks, a human look from someone who owns the event loop and HTTP server is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
Drop order in both callbacks: _entered drops after on_writable()/resume() and before pinned, and the guard holds only the VM's loop pointer, so the checkpoint never reads this.
on_writable_reaches_script() against on_writable(): source_pending_pull is set on every backpressured write (writable_result) and pending_flush() covers awaited flush(true)/end(); the total_written > 0 && !had_pending_pullready() branch at streams.rs:1450 can still resume script without the scope, but that only leaves the pre-existing late-checkpoint behavior, not a crash.
producer_runs_script() is an exhaustive match; the non-rewriter producers' ready() arms resume sockets or are no-ops.
Fixture and driver: stdin/stdout/stderr are drained concurrently, all tests use port: 0 and tempDir, and the Windows skips carry a stated reason.
Extended reasoning...
The production change is 15 lines in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs plus two predicate helpers in ByteStream.rs and streams.rs: the sink and byte-stream writable callbacks now conditionally enter the VM event-loop scope so the checkpoint runs after script resumed by a socket drain. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface, but it changes microtask and nextTick timing on a core HTTP streaming path and runs user JS inside a uWS callback, which is reentrancy-sensitive. The ~775 test lines are a spawned fixture, a raw HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 driver, and new describe blocks; the previously raised hang-on-missing-probe and RST_STREAM nits are fixed in the latest commit. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files, the hunt ran dry, and the only open thread is the author-resolved HTTP/2 sweep-path note, which is a pre-existing gap the PR description names as still late.

undefined. That is the case when the transport takes the whole response, so that nothing waits for the writable callback. With a 256 KiB file the helper reports it in 32 ms. With a 1 KiBend()body and the probe for the code after anawait, it takes about 40 ms over HTTP/1.1 and over HTTP/2: the timer chain of that probe stops when the helper stops the fixture. Over HTTP/2, a stream that the server resets counts as cut off. Before the later pushes, each of these cases ran into the 5 s limit of the test.pull()of the body or of the rewriter's inputnextTick, a microtask, then 5 ms of sleeptimer, nextTick, microtasknextTick, microtask, timerawaitin an async handlernextTick, a microtask,ws.close(), then more scriptscript, close, nextTick, microtask, rest of scriptscript, close, rest of script, nextTick, microtaskpull()enterWith("script"), then what a due timer readsscriptundefinedwrite(),flush(true)orend()pull()of request A enters a store.

pull()run and cuts the response off. This branch runs them and completes the response. No test covers this case.The tests are subprocesses, because any other callback that the loop enters runs the checkpoint that the writable callback did not run.
A rewriter that the request body feeds (
transform(new Response(request.body))) takes its input from a native stream. The other rewriter tests use a file or a script. The handler of the first<b>answers with one write of 16 MiB, so the rewriter waits for the socket. The client then sends the rest of the body, with the second<b>, and reads only after that. The debug log shows the path:onBufferedBodyChunk 7 true,ByteStream.onData sink paused → buffer, then oneonWritableByteStream, which runs the second handler with the probe and ends the response. If the socket takes the write whole, the second handler runs before the client has said that the rest is sent. The fixture then printsthe socket did not fill, and the test fails (checked with a write of 1 KiB, 40 of 40 runs). The test fails on the debug build of main in 25 of 25 runs, and on the release build of 1.4.3-canary in 40 of 40. It passes on the debug build of this branch in 25 of 25 runs.Platforms: the probes with a timer depend on the order in which the POSIX loop runs its phases, so they are skipped on Windows. The
ws.close()probes run on every platform, for a stream body over HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 (apull()that throws included) and for a rewriter that a stream feeds. A rewriter over a file is skipped on Windows: there the event loop reads the file, and the handlers do not run in the writable callback. A rewriter over the request body is skipped on Windows: Winsock takes one write of any size whole, so the write of the first handler does not fill the socket there. The cross-request test uses no timer. It is with the stream tests and not inAsyncLocalStorage.test.ts, because that file has a test that fails on the debug build of main in this container.Each clause is needed (debug, the 20 tests of the first push, one clause removed at a time.

On this branch the pump writes inside the callback until the socket is full. macOS was not measured.
Scopes per writable callback, from the debug logs of a 16 MiB rewritten file that a slow client reads: main opens 0 in 23 callbacks. This branch opens 1 in each of 23 callbacks, and each of them ran a content handler. For a request body echo, this branch opens 0 in 8 callbacks.
Why the two gates.
on_writable_byte_streamalso serves bodies with no script behind them: a proxiedfetch()body, a request body echo, an S3 download.ByteStream::producer_runs_script()is an exhaustive match overSourceHandle, so a new producer does not compile until someone decides. For a stream sink, the source is always the JS pump.source_pending_pullsays that the pump or awrite()waits for the drain, andpending_flush()says that aflush(true)or anend()does.Why no pin in
on_writable_byte_stream. #46557 says that the checkpoint belongs to these callbacks "with a ref on the stream held first".on_writable_response_streamalready pins the context, and the scope ends before the pin.on_writable_byte_streamneeds no ref:resume()can end the response and release the context, and the handler reads nothing of the context or the stream afterresume(), as on main. The scope holds only the event loop. TheSAFETYcomment now says so. The request-body test covers this case under ASAN: its writable callback ends the response and frees the context insideresume(), and the scope ends after that.Why not one scope around every ready poll. #40021 puts one around
uv_runon Windows. Around each ready poll, the scope of every callback is nested, so no callback runs a checkpoint of its own: theopenand the messages that one read delivers lose the checkpoint between them. A plain drain after each ready poll has no scope, sows.close()in the script still runs the jobs mid-statement, and every ready poll pays for it.A handler that returns a pending promise already gets a checkpoint from
handler_callback(#36733), so its order against a timer and its store were right on main. What changes for it is the second row of the table: a call such asws.close()in it no longer runs the queued jobs before it returns.The store leak has a precondition. A stream that is made while a store is active puts that store back after
pull(). The leak needs a stream that is made with no store active, as in the tests. With a stream made under a store, the fetch handler of B readsundefinedon main too.Which bodies reach these callbacks. A body reaches a writable callback when the transport did not take all of it in the dispatch of the request.
transform()feeds the first chunk of its input itself (256 KiB of a file), so a smaller rewritten file does not reach the callback.Not fixed. No issue tracks these. Each one is named here with its owner, if it has one.
do_render_with_body, apull()that throws, and theerror()hook. On this branch a store that such a content handler enters still reaches the next pipelined request (a 300 KiB file: the fetch handler of B reads the store of A). No PR owns it. Bun.serve: run the microtask checkpoint after a pull() that ended the response #46740 covers apull()that ends the response. The dispatchers hold the loop entered with no checkpoint at the end, andRequestContextdrains at chosen points (see the comment aboveon_response), so the owner of that drain is a maintainer's choice.end_request_streaming_and_drain()rejects that read and drains with the loop not entered. Aws.close()in the rejection handler ofrequest.text()still runs the queued jobs before it returns, on both builds, when aBlob, string or file body of 24 MiB finishes from its writable callback. This also holds for the last callback of a body with no script behind it inon_writable_byte_stream. Two fixes are possible and neither is built: hold the loop entered across that drain, ason_abortdoes, or makeEventLoop::exit()skip the checkpoint while script is on the stack.Http2Context::sweepresumes the stream from the deferred task queue, andexit()runs no checkpoint inside that queue. With a client that has 32 MiB windows, 8 awaited writes of 1 MiB take 3.8 s on main and 2.9 s on this branch. http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 adds one drain after the deferred queue behind a flag that onlynode:http2sets.drain_quic_if_necessary) delivers writable callbacks while the loop is entered. The scope is nested there.FileSink::on_auto_flush, for exampleBun.write(pipe, rewritten), which runs inside the deferred task queue, andFileSink::on_readyon Windows.Visible changes in behavior.
ws.close(),server.upgrade()) no longer runs the queued jobs before it returns.AsyncLocalStorage.enterWith()store that this script enters ends with the callback.pull()or a content handler throws in the writable callback, the rejection of the body and the close of the connection now run before the callback returns.Not run.
