Update 2026-09-30: #44279 fixes the same crash from Bun's side with no WebKit change, and its description names this PR as superseded. The four fixtures of this PR pass on its head (c549c32, debug ASAN build, 3 of 3 runs with the test timeout raised to 60 s on a loaded machine) and fail on canary 1.4.3 (367d939). This PR is not rebased or changed any more. It stays open only until a maintainer confirms that it can be closed in favour of #44279. Status: reproduced, reworked after review, rebased onto main eleven times (#39905 changed the same file, then #35343, #40201, #40276, #40417, #40507, #40570, #40270, #40643, #40681 and #40677 moved the WebKit pin). Head 0368e21 (641642e plus three test-only commits). The fix lives in oven-sh/WebKit#487 (this PR builds against its preview, rebased onto the fork's main at c4ddc0cf, the pin main uses since #40677) plus a much smaller scheduler here. Reproduction: the four fixtures in Latest changes: the release of a ticket's event loop ref picks its path by thread (641642e, was 619fe22 before the rebases): the VM's own thread releases through the VM, which lands in any state of the VM handle, so the cancellations CI: build 104088 (89b28ef) was green on all 181 jobs.

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug-hunting pass found no issues. Because it adds a GC end-phase observer that walks ticket sets and cancels them from the collector thread — touching mark-bit reads, WaiterListManager lock ordering, and ticket refcounting across several terminal paths — a human look from someone familiar with JSC's heap phases would still be worthwhile.
Checked: m_lock is released before cancelPendingWork re-enters via onCancelPendingWork, so no self-deadlock; deferredWorkTimer member declaration order in BunClientData.h matches the new init-list position; Bun__deleteDeferredWorkTask dropping its null-check is sound because clientData is now stored directly on the job and outlives it.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Makes JSCTaskScheduler a JSC::HeapObserver so that after every collection it cancels DeferredWorkTimer tickets whose realm or scriptExecutionOwner is unmarked, mirroring upstream DeferredWorkTimer::cancelPendingWork(VM&) (which finds nothing because Bun keeps tickets in its own sets). Also unregisters dead realms from WaiterListManager before cancelling, and stores JSVMClientData* on JSCDeferredWorkTask so runPendingWork/Bun__deleteDeferredWorkTask no longer reach the VM through a possibly-dead ticket owner. Adds two subprocess tests that segfault without the fix.
Security risks
None user-facing. This is a UAF fix; the risk is regression (deadlock or premature cancellation), not new attack surface.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is GC-end-phase code that reads mark bits, runs on the collector thread with the world stopped, and interacts with three lock domains (m_lock, WaiterListManager's locks via unregister, and DeferredWorkTimer's lock via cancelPendingWork). The repo's review guidance treats native memory-safety and thread-affinity changes as the most-blocked category. The reasoning in the PR description is thorough and appears sound, but the correctness hinges on JSC-internal invariants (that didGarbageCollect runs before any sweep, that isMarked is final there, that WaiterListManager::unregister is safe from the collector thread) that a maintainer with WebKit context should confirm.
Other factors
didGarbageCollectcollects dead tickets underm_lock, releases it, then callsunregister(waiter-list locks) andcancelPendingWork(which re-entersonCancelPendingWork→m_lock). No nested-lock inversion within this file; ordering vs.WaiterListManagermatches the PR's stated argument.~JSCTaskSchedulercallsm_vm.heap.removeObserver(this);~JSVMClientDataruns from~VMafterlastChanceToFinalize(), so the heap and its observer set should still be valid.- Init-list reorder in
BunClientData.cppmatches declaration order (deferredWorkTimerat line 251 precedesm_builtinNamesat line 285). - Tests are subprocess-spawned, poll for the observer callback with a bounded loop, and assert exact stdout — they follow harness conventions and the PR states both fault on the unfixed build.
- No prior human review comments to address.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it adds a HeapObserver that walks ticket sets on every GC end-phase — with cross-thread execution, lock re-entry through onCancelPendingWork, and reads of unswept cells — a human look at the GC/threading invariants would still be worthwhile.
Checked: didGarbageCollect releases m_lock before calling cancelPendingWork (which re-enters onCancelPendingWork and re-takes it) — no self-deadlock. The clientData stored on JSCDeferredWorkTask outlives the job (owned by VM::clientData, deleted in ~VM). Bun__deleteDeferredWorkTask dropping the if (clientData) guard is fine since the pointer is captured at construction, not derived from a possibly-dead ticket. The two new tests spawn subprocesses, poll a bounded loop for the observer, and assert exact stdout.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes segfaults (Sentry BUN-4NCK, BUN-4M46) where a node:vm context is collected while it has pending DeferredWorkTimer work (FinalizationRegistry cleanup, Atomics.waitAsync). Bun's JSCTaskScheduler keeps tickets in its own sets, so JSC's post-collection cancelPendingWork(VM&) finds nothing to cancel; the job later runs against a destructed target. The fix makes JSCTaskScheduler a JSC::HeapObserver whose didGarbageCollect walks the ticket sets, cancels tickets whose realm/owner is unmarked, and unregisters dead realms' WaiterListManager entries. JSCDeferredWorkTask now carries its JSVMClientData* directly instead of deriving the VM from the (possibly-dead) ticket owner. Four files touched: JSCTaskScheduler.{h,cpp}, one initializer line in BunClientData.cpp, and two subprocess tests in vm.test.ts.
Security risks
None user-facing. This is internal GC/lifetime management; no untrusted input reaches the new code paths.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is native JSC GC integration — the memory-safety category REVIEW.md flags as most-blocked. didGarbageCollect runs at the end phase of every collection (potentially on the collector thread with the world stopped), reads heap cells (ticket->target()->realm(), scriptExecutionOwner()) that are unswept only because earlier collections ran the same walk, and re-enters onCancelPendingWork which takes m_lock and calls Bun__VmHandle__refKeepAlive. The PR description argues each of these is sound (upstream DeferredWorkTimer::cancelPendingWork(VM&) relies on the same invariant; refKeepAlive is atomic; lock ordering matches existing hooks), but the reasoning is subtle enough that a maintainer familiar with JSC's collector phases and WaiterListManager should confirm — particularly that WaiterListManager::unregister(JSGlobalObject*) is safe from the collector thread and that iterating the UncheckedKeyHashSet<Ref<Ticket>> under m_lock while another thread might be in onScheduleWorkSoon (which posts outside the lock) is race-free.
Other factors
The PR description is unusually thorough — it names the exact crash addresses, the precise-allocation vs block-allocation distinction that governs sweep timing, the debug assertion each fixture trips without the fix, and lists ~13 test suites run. Robobun confirmed both fixtures segfault on 1.4.0 and pass 10/10 on the debug build. The comment-cop bot flagged long comments; the author shortened them and justified the ones kept (all resolved). The bug-hunting system found no issues. Still, per the approval guidelines this is complex native code on a critical path (every GC), not a mechanical change, so I'm deferring rather than approving.

Reworking. The observer goes away. The fix moves into the fork's DeferredWorkTimer instead: addPendingWork keeps the ticket in m_pendingTickets when the embedder hooks are installed, so upstream's end-of-collection cancelPendingWork(VM&) applies as is, and this side shrinks to posting the task and counting the event loop refs. I will update this PR once the WebKit preview build is up. |

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it pins WebKit to an unmerged preview build (oven-sh/WebKit#487) and reworks ticket ownership across the JSC/Bun boundary in GC-critical code, a human should review it — the correctness of takePendingWork, the changed onAddPendingWork contract, and the removed m_lock all depend on the paired fork changes that aren't in this diff.
- Checked the event-loop-ref accounting:
onAddPendingWork(+1) is balanced by exactly one ofonCancelPendingWorkorrunPendingWork'stakePendingWorkbranch (-1) per the "never both" comment; the removedBun__deleteDeferredWorkTaskderef is now handled by the timer's own teardown. - Checked
runPendingWorkno longer readsticket.target()before thetakePendingWorkgate, avoiding the dead-realm read the oldjob->vm()did. - The PR description still describes the earlier
HeapObserverapproach, not the reworked fork-side fix; andWEBKIT_VERSIONis a preview tag with a TODO to swap in the merged sha.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes a segfault (Sentry BUN-4NCK / BUN-4M46) where a node:vm context's FinalizationRegistry cleanup or Atomics.waitAsync wake-up ran after the context was collected, dereferencing destructed cells. The fix went through a rework mid-PR: the current diff moves ticket ownership out of Bun's JSCTaskScheduler and back into WebKit's DeferredWorkTimer::m_pendingTickets (via oven-sh/WebKit#487), so upstream's post-collection cancelPendingWork(VM&) cancels dead-realm tickets before Bun runs them. On Bun's side, JSCTaskScheduler shrinks to an event-loop keep-alive counter plus task posting; the two UncheckedKeyHashSet<Ref<Ticket>> sets and m_lock are deleted, m_isShuttingDown becomes a relaxed atomic, and runPendingWork gates on the new takePendingWork(ticket). It bumps WEBKIT_VERSION to autobuild-preview-pr-487-b440a538 and adds two subprocess crash-repro tests to test/js/node/vm/vm.test.ts.
Security risks
No new attack surface. The change closes a use-after-free reachable from user JS via node:vm + FinalizationRegistry / Atomics.waitAsync, so it's a hardening. No auth, crypto, or input-parsing paths are touched.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is memory-safety code at the JSC GC ↔ Bun event-loop boundary, and it depends on a paired change in the WebKit fork that is still a preview PR. The Bun side deletes a lock and two owning sets on the assumption that DeferredWorkTimer now owns and cancels the tickets and that ticket.type() / takePendingWork(Ticket&) exist with the expected semantics — none of which is visible in this diff. The onAddPendingWork hook signature changed (Ref<Ticket>&&, WorkType → Ticket&), which is an ABI/contract change on the fork side. Getting the ref-count balance or the thread-safety of the shutdown flag wrong here means UAF or a hung event loop, and the failure mode is GC-timing-dependent.
Other factors
- The
WEBKIT_VERSIONpin is to a preview tag of an unmerged fork PR, with an inline TODO to swap in the merged sha. That's a dependency-bump decision (dragging in four other WebKit PRs per the comment) a maintainer should sign off on. - The PR description body still documents the original
HeapObserverdesign that was later abandoned; only the final timeline comment describes the current approach. - CI reported green (build 102771). The two new tests are well-constructed crash reproductions with detailed rationale for why each fixture step is needed, and the author verified they segfault on 1.4.0 and on the unfixed debug build.
- I have not commented on this PR before.

### Problem - `bun test --isolate`: a `FinalizationRegistry` cleanup that a FINISHED file created runs while a later file executes. A throw from it is charged to the later file, which then loses its remaining tests to `Cannot call test() after the test run has completed`. In the constructed repro (fuzz-found, no user report) 7 of 25 tests ran, exit 1. - The fence of #41831 does not reach it: JSC schedules it as a `DeferredWorkTimer` ticket and calls the callback directly, so no microtask, `Job` or `run_callback` check applies. `Bun::runPendingWork` (`JSCTaskScheduler.cpp:122`) ran it with no realm check. ### Fix - `Zig::GlobalObject::scriptExecutionStatus` reports `Stopped` for a retired realm, from the fence's own predicate (`microtaskRunnability() == Discard`, now `Bun::isRetiredTestIsolationRealm`). - `runPendingWork` asks that status before it runs a task, as JSC's `DeferredWorkTimer::doWork` does, and drops the work, like the file's timers at the swap. - Correct because the swap is that file's process exit: its script never runs again. WebCore answers `Stopped` for a detached document. - Verified: a new `isolation.test.ts` case fails on main 20 of 20, passes 6 of 6 here. Self-reviewed: 5 concerns, 4 addressed, 1 deferred (Notes). ### Background - `--isolate` gives each file a fresh `Zig::GlobalObject` on one `JSC::VM`. The old global lives until the GC takes it. - `DeferredWorkTimer` carries native completions (registry cleanups, wasm compiles, `Atomics.waitAsync` wake-ups) to the JS thread, one ticket each. Bun installs `onScheduleWorkSoon`, so they run from its event loop, not JSC's `doWork`. - `ScriptExecutionStatus` is how JSC asks the embedder whether a realm may run script. Bun answered from the VM alone, so a retired realm said `Running`. <details><summary>Notes</summary> - Reported internally (fuzz ledger #45175) against main d745f03. There is no user report. The repro is constructed: `a.test.ts` creates a `FinalizationRegistry` whose callback throws and registers 500 objects, then six files each run `Bun.gc(true)` and a short sleep per test, all under `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1`. On main, 27 of 30 runs lose 15 to 19 of the 25 tests to the `Cannot call test()` path. The organic reach is lower than that: it needs `--isolate` or `--parallel`, a collection between the finished file's last loop drain and the swap, and a cleanup callback that throws or acts on shared state. - The new test sets `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1` in the child for the same reason: natural GC timing queues the cleanup in that window only sometimes. - What is still not fenced, unchanged from the list #41831 gave: calls into JS through an FFI `JSCallback`, a napi threadsafe function or napi async completion, functions of a `node:vm` context or `ShadowRealm` that the finished file created (those globals are not retired, so their own deferred work also still runs), and microtasks while a debugger is attached. The review of this change also pointed at the Worker `close` event: `WorkerMessagingProxy::workerGlobalScopeDestroyedInternal` dispatches it through `Worker::dispatchCloseEvent` (`src/jsc/bindings/webcore/Worker.cpp:139`), which has no realm check, so a finished file's `worker.on("close")` handler may run under the next file when the terminated worker's thread exits late. I have not reproduced that one and left it out of this PR. - Scope: this PR is the realm fence only. The separate CRASH face of the same area (a queued job reads `ticket->scriptExecutionOwner()->vm()` after the realm's global is collected and the ticket cancelled: `ASSERTION FAILED: !isCancelled()` on debug, a stale read on release) belongs to #39994, which moves ticket ownership into JSC through oven-sh/WebKit#487. The status gate here is orthogonal to that: JSC's `doWork` performs the same check, so it survives the ownership move. The two touch adjacent lines in `runPendingWork` and will need a trivial rebase, nothing more. - An earlier version of this change also cancelled pending tickets of unmarked realms at GC end, from a `VM::ClientData::reconcileWeakReferencesAtGCEnd` hook. That is the shape #39994 already tried and review rejected, so it is not here. - `runPendingWork` is the only caller of `scriptExecutionStatus` this adds. JSC's `doWork` is the only other caller, and with Bun's hooks installed its task queue and ticket set are both empty, so the new `Stopped` answer changes nothing else. `Bun__VM__scriptExecutionStatus` (the VM-wide answer that timers use) is untouched. A debug `ASSERT` records that no Bun realm reports `Suspended`, which `doWork` would re-queue rather than drop. - During process exit (`is_shutting_down`), deferred work that is still dispatched is now dropped as well, which is what timers already do and what Node does for a `FinalizationRegistry` callback queued from `process.on("exit")` (`test-finalization-registry-shutdown.js`). - #41998 is complementary. It stops an unhandled error during collection from deleting the active file's tests, which is the sink this bug reached. With both, a stray error neither runs in a dead realm nor deletes a live file's tests. - The new test's fixture re-registers fresh garbage from inside the cleanup, so the registry has dead entries at every collection for as long as its realm is alive. The cleanup writes its marker only once the second file says it is running, so the assertion cannot pass by accident. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **[human-review]** gate passed · iteration 0 · 4 files touched <details><summary>fails on main (without fix)</summary> ```console ASAN without fix: 1 FAILED $ BUN_DEBUG_QUIET_LOGS=1 bun scripts/build.ts --profile=debug --quiet test "--reporter=junit" "--reporter-outfile=/tmp/pr_gate.xml" test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts bun test v1.4.3 (f42e980) test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts: (pass) bun test --isolate > without --isolate, leaked global is visible to next file [345.17ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, each file gets a fresh global [407.40ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, --preload re-runs in each file's fresh global [399.11ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > without --isolate, --preload still runs once (regression) [351.21ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, module state is not shared between files [378.48ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, a file's process.chdir() is undone before the next file [1167.65ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, a file's process.env writes with native side effects are undone before the next file [1516.25ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, cached module records keep short, Latin-1 and UTF-16 names [1226.39ms] (pass) bun test --isolate > with --isolate, leaked outbound socket is closed before next file [1306.31ms] (pass) bu ...

… context The describe block covered two of the three ticket sources that reach a node:vm context. The wasm completion is the third. Its task casts the ticket's target to a JSPromise and reads that promise's realm, where the registry's task reads the registry, so it fails in its own way. Fails on main 3 of 3 (the child segfaults, about 130 ms). Passes here 8 of 8, about 21 ms.
The fixture above cannot reach this owner. A ShadowRealm's global is larger than MarkedSpace::largeCutoff, so it is a precise allocation and its destructor runs in the epilogue of the collection that kills it. That destructor cancels the realm's pending work, so a fullGC() the loop asks for never leaves work queued against a dead realm. An allocation loop does. Fails on main 5 of 5 (the child segfaults, about 155 ms). Passes here 4 of 4, about 120 ms.

The wasm source is worth its own cell because its task reads the ticket differently. It does Numbers. Unfixed is a release build of main
The whole file is 282 pass, 0 fail on this branch. The ShadowRealm cell cannot use the Still uncovered after this, and each one is a different mechanism rather than another cell of the same matrix:

On the review note about |
…mpletion pending The fixture relied on allocation pressure alone, so on a lane where no realm was collected before its completion ran it would print "done" without reaching the cancellation path. Each realm is now registered with an outer FinalizationRegistry and reports its completion through a callback, and the child throws unless at least one realm died before its completion ran. 150 realms instead of 400 keeps a debug ASAN run near 3 s; the 1.4.3 canary still segfaults with 150, 5 runs out of 5.

Two facts from a re-check on current main, and one note for the rebase. 1. The crash on main now has a face inside Line 129 is the realm status check that #42110 added: auto* globalObject = job->ticket->target()->globalObject(); // :124
auto status = globalObject->globalObjectMethodTable()->scriptExecutionStatus(...); // :129For a target that died in an earlier collection, 2. The new ASAN assert is the same bug. An ASAN build of main now reports if (m_mutatorShouldBeFenced) { // a collection is in flight
if (!isMarked(cell)) {
RELEASE_ASSERT(m_collectionScope && m_collectionScope.value() == CollectionScope::Full); // :1272
...
} else
ASSERT(isMarked(cell)); // :1302, was :1305 before the pin movedBoth need the same thing: a write barrier on an old cell that is not marked. Which one fires depends only on whether a collection is in flight when the dead callback's code is installed. Note that 3. For the rebase onto main. #42110's status check reads |

The Bun-side half of this PR (the job carries its JSVMClientData, JSCTaskScheduler stores its VM, and Bun__runDeferredWork / Bun__deleteDeferredWorkTask no longer read the ticket's owner) is split out in #43085 against the current pin, for #43056. It does not touch the ticket ownership change that needs oven-sh/WebKit#487. On the next rebase here those hunks drop out. |
JSC queues a FinalizationRegistry cleanup as a DeferredWorkTimer ticket, and Bun 1.4.0-1.4.2 run it with no realm check, so it lands after the test file that created the registry is retired. In a retired realm the cleanup surfaces as "Unhandled error between tests" (exit 1 with 0 fail); once the retired global has been collected it reads a freed registry and the process dies with a segfault at address 0x70 (exit 139). The sqlite-smoke job hit the crash twice on main in one day, once right after the plugin-lambda CDK test (aws-cdk-lib's wasm-bindgen registries) and once while loading a CLI test file, where the registry is one of Bun's own builtins. The first face is fixed upstream in oven-sh/bun#42110 (unreleased); the second is oven-sh/bun#39994 with oven-sh/WebKit#487, still open. Until a release carries both, a test:bun preload replaces the global FinalizationRegistry with one that registers nothing on Bun 1.4.x, so no cleanup is ever queued. It runs first, before the other preloads import node:fs. A registered cleanup only ever released memory the test process gives back at exit. Bun 1.3.14 is left untouched. Fixes: #969

… found it dead (#44279) ### What does this PR do? Fixes a segfault in `WTF::Vector::takeLast` under `JSFinalizationRegistry::takeDeadHoldingsValue` ← `runFinalizationCleanup` ← `Bun__runDeferredWork` (Sentry BUN-4SGV). It happens with `node:vm` contexts and with `bun test --isolate` / `--parallel`, on every platform. **Cause** - A `DeferredWorkTimer` ticket's cells (the registry, a `waitAsync` promise, a wasm promise) are marked only by their realm, so the sweep frees them once the realm is dead. - JSC cancels a dead realm's tickets at the end of each collection, in `DeferredWorkTimer::cancelPendingWork(VM&)`. It walks `m_pendingTickets`, which is empty in Bun because `onAddPendingWork` takes each ticket into `JSCTaskScheduler`'s maps. - `~JSGlobalObject` cancels them too, but a lazily swept global is destroyed later. A cleanup job that was already queued runs in between, on a registry that has been destroyed. **Fix** - `JSVMClientData` implements `VM::ClientData::reconcileWeakReferencesAtGCEnd`, the embedder hook JSC calls after marking and before sweeping. - There, `JSCTaskScheduler::cancelWorkOfDeadRealms` finds the unmarked realms that still have pending tickets and calls `JSGlobalObject::clearWeakTickets()` on each. This is the fixing line. It is what `~JSGlobalObject` calls: it unregisters the realm's `Atomics.waitAsync` waiters, then cancels its tickets through the existing `onCancelPendingWork` hook, which drops the map entry and releases the event loop ref. - `JSCDeferredWorkTask` stores its `JSVMClientData` instead of reaching the VM through `ticket->scriptExecutionOwner()`, which is a freed cell for exactly these jobs. The null check in `Bun__deleteDeferredWorkTask` goes with it: `~VM` deletes `clientData` last and never nulls it. A second effect: `Atomics.notify` no longer counts or wakes the `Atomics.waitAsync` of a dead context. No WebKit change. Supersedes #39994. ### How did you verify your code works? Two new tests in `test/js/node/vm/vm.test.ts`. Each also keeps one context alive and requires its callback to still run. | | 1.4.2 | fixed (debug + ASAN, Linux x64) | |---|---|---| | a FinalizationRegistry cleanup job is dropped when its context dies before the job runs | segfault (exit 139) | pass | | Atomics.notify does not wake the Atomics.waitAsync of a context that died | `woken: 5` | `woken: 1`, pass | The first test also segfaults on canary `11c41c645`. The `FinalizationRegistry` tests in `test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts` pass with the change.

Problem
WTF::Vector::takeLastunderJSFinalizationRegistry::takeDeadHoldingsValue, fromBun::runPendingWork(Sentry BUN-4NCK, BUN-4M46). Anode:vmcontext died with a cleanup job posted, and the job ran on its destructed registry.addPendingWorkhanded each ticket toJSCTaskScheduler's own sets, soDeferredWorkTimer::cancelPendingWork(VM&), which cancels dead realms' tickets after each collection, found none.Atomics.notifywake a dead context'sAtomics.waitAsync.Fix
m_pendingTickets, the hooks become notifications, and the embedder callstakePendingWork()before it runs a task. Upstream's cancellation applies unchanged.JSCTaskSchedulerloses its sets, lock and shutdown flag. The hooks count the event loop ref ofImminentlyScheduledtickets, andrunPendingWorkruns a task only iftakePendingWork()returns true.JSVMClientData, not the dead realm.test/js/node/vm/vm.test.tstests (registry cleanup,Atomics.waitAsyncandWebAssembly.instantiatein a vm context,WebAssembly.instantiatein a ShadowRealm), each segfaults or misfires without the fix.Background
DeferredWorkTimercarries native completions (FinalizationRegistry cleanup, wasm compilation,Atomics.waitAsync) to the JS thread, one ticket each. Bun's hooks run its tasks from Bun's event loop, notdoWork.~JSGlobalObjectcancels it too, but aNodeVMGlobalObjectsits in a lazily swept block, so that came after the job ran.Notes
The preview sits on the fork's main at c4ddc0cf, which is the pin main already uses (#40677 bumped it), plus the two #487 commits. The three source files #487 touches did not change in any of the pin moves since the first preview (#40276, #40417, #40507, #40570, #40270, #40643, #40681, #40677), so each rebase was a clean cherry-pick. Earlier previews sat on the previous pins (b7f217b4 could not be built: its Dockerfiles still fetched LLVM from apt.llvm.org, which oven-sh/WebKit#480 replaced because it fails).
Rebased onto #39905, which made the scheduler's sets maps from ticket to
BunLoopKind. That value now lives in the ticket itself (Ticket::embedderData(), one byte, added in oven-sh/WebKit#487):onAddPendingWorkwrites it on the JS thread,onScheduleWorkSoonreads it on whatever thread schedules the work, and a release from another thread goes throughBun__VmHandle__refKeepAliveon that loop. The macro routing tests (test/regression/issue/39900.test.ts,macro-test.test.tsevent loop routing block) pass against the preview.The first version of this PR kept Bun's sets and walked them from a
HeapObserverat the end of each collection. That duplicated upstream's walk on Bun's side and needed an extraWaiterListManager::unregisterstep. It was rejected in review. This version fixes the divergence in the fork instead.The fixture has to get around three things that otherwise hide the bug:
IsoSubspaceare precise allocations and are destructed in the epilogue of the collection that kills them. The fixture keeps 8 contexts alive so the context under test lands in a block. The registry inside the context is one of those first cells, so it is destructed as soon asfullGC()returns, while its context is not.vm.createContext()stores the sandbox in aWeakRef, which pins it until the turn ends.releaseWeakRefs()frombun:jscclears that.NodeVMGlobalObjects roots the most recently created one. The fixture creates one more context. Filed separately as node:vm: give each context its own global object structure #39990. TheuncaughtExceptionrouting of errors reported against a vm context is process: deliver exceptions reported against a node:vm context to uncaughtException #39992.Sizes and tiers:
JSGlobalObject3976 bytes,NodeVMGlobalObject4016,Zig::GlobalObject10656,MarkedSpace::largeCutoff8032. EveryZig::GlobalObject(the main realm, ShadowRealm,--isolaterealms) is a precise allocation. A synchronous collection sweeps it, and so runs its~JSGlobalObject, before it returns, sofullGC()never leaves work queued against a dead realm of that kind. A collection the mutator did not ask for finalizes later, at the mutator's next safepoint, which can come after the queued job ran: the fourth fixture lets allocation pressure collect ShadowRealms with a wasm completion pending, and segfaults at 0xfffffffffffffff9 without the fix.Bun.gc(true)iscollectNow(Sync), which sweeps everything before it returns, so the realm's destructor cancels the ticket in time.fullGC()frombun:jsciscollectSync, which does not sweep.Bun.gc(false)iscollectAsync.Crash addresses on 1.4.0: the registry test faults at 0x18 (4 dead holdings: a destructed
Vectorkeeps its size and nulls its buffer, which gives the 0x8 with 2 holdings in BUN-4NCK). The waitAsync test faults at 0xfffffffffffffff9. An unfixed debug build reproduces the BUN-4NCK stack exactly and fails the waitAsync test withASSERTION FAILED: !isCancelled() && isTargetObject().With the fork change, a dead context's waiter stays on its list until the context is swept, and a notify in between consumes it without scheduling anything, as in upstream. The fork change relaxes the
WaiterList::takeFirstassertion that required the waiter's ticket to still be alive. Upstream has the same window afterdoWorkpurges a cancelled ticket.Event loop ref accounting:
addPendingWorkadds the ticket to the set and callsonAddPendingWork(+1 forImminentlyScheduled, recorded in the ticket's embedder byte, which the release checks, so the two sides always match). The ticket leaves the set exactly once: through a cancellation path, which callsonCancelPendingWorkonly for a ticket that was still in the set, or throughtakePendingWork(runPendingWork, orBun__deleteDeferredWorkTaskwhen the teardown releases a queued job unrun). Each of those gives the ref back throughreleaseEventLoopRef, which picks its path by thread: the VM's own thread goes throughBun__eventLoop__refKeepAlive, which folds into the platform loop at once and works in any state of the VM handle, so the cancellations~JSGlobalObjectruns after the handle has closed balance their tickets too. Another thread (a collector thread at the end of a collection) goes through the VM handle on the ticket's loop, which drops the release only once the handle is Closed, and by then the collector thread is gone. That is why the scheduler needs no shutdown flag: a ticket added after the last tick is cancelled with the VM, on its thread, and a post after the last tick is queued and released unrun, or refused (Bun__discardDeferredWorkTask, which only frees the job: the ticket stays pending and is cancelled with the VM). A second job posted for the same ticket (StreamingCompilerposts an empty one from its destructor) finds the ticket gone and does nothing.Atomics.waitAsynctickets areAtSomePointand take no ref.The gate's fail-before run cannot show this one: the fix lives in the WebKit dependency, which is outside
src/, and the old scheduler does not compile against the new hook signature. The fail-before evidence is the run against 1.4.0 above.Suites run against the preview build:
