Fixes #42888

Problem

  • In node:quic, a body write after a refused sendHeaders() runs again on every engine tick until the connection idles out: 260 ms of CPU in 3 s, 348000 lines of stream: Attempt to write to stream before sending HTTP headers. The client gets no response and no reset.
  • QuicStream::drain_outbound (src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs) took a -1 from lsquic_stream_write as flow control and left want_write armed. Flow control is a short or zero write. -1 means no header block, a reset send side, or a finished one.

Fix

  • The stream records what lsquic did with its last header block (HeaderBlock). On -1, on_write_failed picks a path. A dead send side drops the queue. A refused block resets the stream with the application's internal error code (H3_INTERNAL_ERROR for HTTP/3). No block yet parks the queue until sendHeaders() re-arms the write.
  • A refused FIN, terminal block, trailer block, or client request block takes the same reset path. A refused non-terminal block with nothing queued stays open for a retry. destroy() with no error keeps code 0 on the wire.
  • closed rejects with ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR on both ends, as for stream.resetStream(). Verified: test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts, ten new cases. Six fail with src/ from main, four guard paths that must keep working. Also all of test/js/node/quic/ and the node test-quic-* stream, h3, and writer tests.

Background

  • on_write is the lsquic callback for a writable stream, armed by want_write. drain_outbound runs from it and writes the JS-side queue into lsquic.
  • A -1 from lsquic_stream_write comes from COMMON_WRITE_CHECKS (vendor/lsquic/src/liblsquic/lsquic_stream.c). No write event clears it.
  • lsquic refuses a header block with one value over 65535 bytes. The issue script uses that.
Notes

Measurements. With the fix, BUN_DEBUG_lsquic=1 on the debug build logs the Attempt to write line once for the issue script. Before: 258000 lines in 3 s on the same build. CPU in 3 s on the debug build: 198 ms with the fix, 2275 ms without.

Send-side classification. on_write_failed reads the stream's own state (peer_stop_sending_code, write_ended, fin_sent) rather than errno, so the check is the same on Windows. reset is not part of it: a peer RESET_STREAM sets it but leaves the send side open, and every local reset also sets write_ended. A side that is already reset or finished only drops the queue and disarms want_write: no reset state, no new code, so a peer STOP_SENDING still resolves closed as on main.

Refusals. A refused block leaves lsquic in SSHS_BEGIN (send_headers_ietf, the err: label), so a retry is allowed. A refusal only arms a write event and never touches PendingEnd, so a retried non-terminal block does not inherit a FIN. A refused non-terminal block arms the write event only when output is queued. The empty-queue path in drain_outbound fails a terminal refusal, or a refusal with a pending FIN or trailers. A stale write event (from an accepted interim block, for example) leaves the stream open.

Reset mechanics. us_nq_stream_reset calls lsquic_stream_force_reset_ext. It ends the read side only when the peer already sent FIN or RESET_STREAM, and it schedules on_close. In the tests the client sent its request headers with FIN, so both streams close right after the reset. A peer that still streams a request body settles when lsquic closes the stream, as with stream.resetStream() on main.

Tests. Fail with src/ from main: a refused block with a body, with an empty body, with a parked body, a terminal block, refused trailers, a refused client request block. Guards: a body queued before sendHeaders(), the same after a peer RESET_STREAM, a retry after a refused terminal block, a retry after an accepted interim block.

Review. The report was filed by a bot that found the bug by reading the code. node:quic is behind an experimental-feature warning. Self-reviewed and reviewed by bots. Concerns addressed: a body queued before sendHeaders() was reset (now parked), a peer STOP_SENDING with data queued rejected closed (now only drops the queue), the sibling paths that resolved closed as success now reset, a retry after a refused terminal block inherited a FIN, a parked body before a refused block never failed, and a refused block after an accepted interim block could not be retried. Not taken: internal_error_code is 1 for a stream bound in the handshake tick (the same value writer.fail() reads on main), and a parked drain waiter wakes at onStreamClose as on main.

Related. #42888 (this bug), #40598 (the Bun.serve HTTP/3 body-failure reset), #37491 (a rewrite of this write loop, open). If #37491 lands after this, its isize to usize conversion must keep the n < 0 to failure branch, not unwrap_or(0), or the spin returns. The fetch() HTTP/3 client (src/http/h3_client/encode.rs, drain_send_body) has the same w <= 0 shape and is out of scope here, as in the issue.

Environment. Two node parallel tests, test-quic-stream-idle-timeout.mjs and test-quic-h3-stream-idle-timeout.mjs, fail on main and on this branch at import of node:stream/iter. The branch is rebased on main after #42851 (LLVM 23) so the binary-size check compares builds from the same toolchain.

root cause · written by the author bot

In QuicStream::drain_outbound, a negative return from lsquic_stream_write was treated as flow-control backpressure, so the stream reported itself blocked and left want_write armed even though lsquic returns -1 for unrecoverable conditions such as no header block sent, a reset send half, or a finished stream, none of which clear on a writable event. The fix distinguishes a negative write from a short or zero write: a negative result now fails the stream with an error, clears the queued outbound data, and disables write notifications, so the stream is reset once instead of being retried…

Walkthrough

The change exposes the session error code and updates QUIC stream handling for refused headers and fatal writes. Streams now reset instead of retrying indefinitely. Tests cover header refusal, queued data, retries, terminal headers, trailers, and peer resets.

Changes

QUIC outbound failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session error code contract
src/runtime/node/quic/session.rs
QuicSession exposes the session state's internal error code.
Refused header tracking
src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs
Streams record header submission results. Successful terminal headers complete normally. Refused terminal headers remain scheduled for failure handling.
Fatal outbound write handling and regression coverage
src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs, test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts
Negative writes fail the stream, clear queued output, and disable write notifications. Tests cover refused request and response headers, queued body data, retries, terminal headers, trailers, peer resets, and resulting QUIC errors.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4cfc5

During graceful shutdown, an in-flight response can lose its trailing headers when the connection closes before the trailer handoff completes. This should be fixed before merge.

… retrying on every tick

A -1 from lsquic_stream_write is a hard failure (EILSEQ, ECONNRESET,
EBADF). It never clears with a write event. drain_outbound treated it
like flow control and left want_write armed, so lsquic called on_write
again on every engine tick until the connection idled out.

Drop the outbound queue, mark the send side reset with the application's
internal error code, and reset the lsquic stream. A zero-length write is
still the backpressure case.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things and ruled them out: the maxIdleTimeout: 1 in the new test is the same value every other case in quic-stream.test.ts already uses, so it does not add new timing sensitivity; and fail_outbound closes its with_state/outbound.with_mut borrows before calling s.reset(code), so a synchronous on_close re-entry from lsquic would not hit a live borrow.

Extended reasoning...

Findings were already posted inline for the n < 0 classification (EILSEQ before headers are sent, ECONNRESET after peer STOP_SENDING), the handshake-tick internal_error_code value, the destroy() code-0 path, the missing session event on failure, and the untouched sibling exits (send_headers in bind_raw, the empty-queue PendingEnd::Fin branch). The two items above were candidate concerns raised by the conventions pass that I checked against the test file and the new Rust function; neither turned into a finding. Vendored lsquic sources are not present in this checkout, so the synchronous-on_close question was assessed only from the Rust side's borrow ordering, not from lsquic_stream_force_reset_ext itself.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟡 src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs — Peers of a node:quic stream that is destroy()ed with no error after a failed body write now get their closed rejected with ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR 0x102, where the base sent RESET_STREAM(0) and the peer's closed resolved. In destroy at src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs:814 the code-0 path calls drain_outbound, which now routes the -1 into fail_outbound and sends the internal error code, then finds the queue empty and calls s.close() at :816 instead of the base's s.reset(code) with code 0 at :818. Fix: the no-error destroy path should keep the caller's code 0 on the wire (skip fail_outbound when draining from destroy, or pass the destroy code), matching Node's ShutdownStream(app code 0).

    Extended reasoning...

    JS QuicStream.destroy() with no error passes a boolean to handle.destroy (quic.ts:2031), so code == 0 at stream.rs:794. send_ended is true when end() was queued (line 805). Line 806: code == 0 and send_ended, so the else branch runs drain_outbound at 814. Base: s.write returns -1, note_write_blocked, break; data still non-empty; line 818 s.reset(0); peer's mark_reset(0) leaves reset_code 0 and its closed resolves (quic.ts:1062 requires resetCode > 0n). New: drain_outbound -> fail_outbound clears data and calls s.reset(0x102); back at 815 data is empty so s.close() runs. Peer receives RESET_STREAM(0x102): mark_reset sets reset_code = 0x102 and onStreamClose rejects closed with ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR. quic.ts:2005-2009 documents that a no-error destroy must go on the wire as code 0 (Node's ShutdownStream with app code 0); this path now violates that. Population: any server or client that destroys a stream without an error after a write failed (refused headers, or ECONNRESET after STOP_SENDING where lsquic already queued the peer's code). The finder accepted the author's intent…

    Verification: nit — triggers when an HTTP/3 stream whose header block was never sent (sendHeaders() returned false or was not called) has body bytes and end() queued and the application calls stream.destroy() with no error before the engine tick drains the queue, with the read side already ended (e.g. a GET with FIN, so no abortForDestroy/deferred-abort short-circuit at stream.rs:801-804). Mechanism verified.…

  • 🟣 src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs — pre-existing sibling of the fixed bug: a client whose queued header block lsquic refuses gets no error and no reset, so the request hangs until the idle timeout, on the base and after this PR. In bind_raw at stream.rs:241 a non-zero return from s.send_headers is dropped, after the JS side was already told sendHeaders() succeeded at stream.rs:977. With no body (a GET via createBidirectionalStream({headers})) nothing ever calls drain_outbound, so the new fail_outbound never runs. Fix: treat a refused send_headers in bind_raw like a failed write, resetting with the internal error code so closed rejects, for both the eos and non-eos pending headers.

    Extended reasoning...

    Local streams are created unbound: open_stream at session.rs:1996-2002 passes null for raw, so sendHeaders at stream.rs:973-978 takes the pending_headers branch and returns true. createBidirectionalStream at quic.ts:3141-3143 calls sendHeaders with terminal true when there is no body, which is every plain GET. When lsquic creates the stream, on_new_stream calls bind_raw. At stream.rs:241 send_headers is called and only rv == 0 is handled; a -1 (the same qpack refusal that makes the server-side sendHeaders in the PR test return false, e.g. one header value over 65535 bytes) is silently dropped. With eos true want_write stays false; outbound.started is false, so line 268 does not arm want_write either. No frame is ever sent on the stream, lsquic never dispatches on_write, and drain_outbound (and therefore the new fail_outbound at stream.rs:486) never runs. The JS stream believes its headers were sent; stream.closed and any onheaders wait until the idle timeout (default 10 s, endpoint.rs:935) closes the session with a transport error. The base behaves the same; the PR fixes only the…

    Verification: pre-existing (partial fix of the "lsquic refused the header block" class this PR sets out to handle). Triggering condition: a client opens a stream with headers and no body (createBidirectionalStream({ headers }), i.e. any plain GET) where one header value exceeds the lsquic limit (the same 70000-byte value the PR's own test uses to make the server's sendHeaders() return false). Mechanism…

  • 🟣 src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs — HTTP/3 servers whose sendHeaders() was refused and who then call end() with no body still get no error on either end: the client sees a headerless empty stream, not the H3_INTERNAL_ERROR reset this PR gives the body case. In drain_outbound the empty-queue PendingEnd::Fin branch at src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs:544 calls s.shutdown(1) and ignores its return, so the send side is never checked. Fix: treat the FIN-without-headers case the same as the failed write (route a failed shutdown(1), or fin on an H3 stream with headers_sent == 0, through fail_outbound) so both siblings report the same error.

    Extended reasoning...

    The PR fixes the -1 from lsquic_stream_write in drain_outbound (stream.rs:517-521) but leaves the sibling exit in the same function untouched. Server onheaders handler: sendHeaders returns false (lsquic refused the block), then writer.endSync() with no body. end_write (stream.rs:765) sets o.end = PendingEnd::Fin and kicks write. on_write -> drain_outbound: out.data is empty, loop breaks at 511-513, empty is true, end == Fin, so line 544 runs s.shutdown(1); return value discarded; fin_sent = 1 at 547. lsquic's stream_shutdown_write on an IETF H3 stream with STREAM_HEADERS_SENT clear cannot emit a FIN with a header block; the peer receives either a bare FIN or a code-0 reset. Client: on_read reaches EOF with no headers, closed resolves, no ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR. Server: closed resolves once peer FIN arrives (stream.rs:1136-1138). With a one-byte body the identical handler now rejects both ends with 0x102 (the new test). Population: every node:quic H3 server whose header block is rejected and responds with an empty body (204/304 style). The dismissing finders did not open lsquic;…

    Verification: pre-existing (sibling of the fixed bug, same function, same trigger; the PR does not reach it). Trigger: an HTTP/3 server whose sendHeaders() returned false calls writer.endSync()/end() with no body queued. Mechanism, verified in this checkout: - A refused header block leaves no Bun-side state: send_headers at /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs:979-998 just returns false…

Still open from earlier reviews (4):

  • Also unresolved: 2 minor or pre-existing.

If you have decided not to act on one of these findings, resolve its thread (a reply alone leaves it open) and the next review stops counting it. To review this commit again now, use Re-run on its "Claude Code Review" check.

A -1 from lsquic_stream_write also comes from an HTTP stream that has no
header block yet (EILSEQ) and from a send side that is already reset or
finished (ECONNRESET, EBADF). Track the refusal on the stream: a refused
block fails the stream with the internal error code, a missing block
parks the queue until send_headers succeeds, and a dead send side drops
the queue without a new reset. A FIN after a refused block fails the
same way, and destroy() with no error keeps code 0 on the wire.

No new blocking issues. 1 optional suggestion (a nit or a note on pre-existing code) was found and not posted. Nothing in this review needs a push before merging.

…re refused

A refused block with no body (a terminal sendHeaders() or refused
trailers) left the stream with no headers and resolved closed as
success. Route those through the same failure path: a refused terminal
block arms a FIN that drain_outbound turns into a reset, and a refused
block on a client stream bound at open time resets it too.

A refused terminal block armed PendingEnd::Fin, so a later accepted
non-terminal block inherited a FIN and cut the body. The refusal now
only arms a write event. drain_outbound fails any write event on a
stream whose last header block is still refused, and a later accepted
block clears that state before the event runs.

A refused non-terminal block with queued output never armed a write
event, so a body parked before it waited for the idle timeout. A
refused non-terminal block with nothing queued failed the stream on any
stale write event, so an accepted interim block followed by a refused
final block could not be retried. HeaderBlock tracks the refusal and
whether it was terminal: queued output arms the write event, and the
empty-queue path fails only a terminal refusal or a pending FIN.

mark_reset sets the reset flag for a peer RESET_STREAM that only ends
the read side, and the app may keep responding on a bidi stream. Every
local send-side reset also sets write_ended, so on_write_failed now
classifies the send side from write_ended, fin_sent, and the peer
STOP_SENDING code alone.

🟠 Major · Count pending trailers as undelivered output.

src/runtime/node/quic/session.rs:1833-1851
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Count pending trailers as undelivered output.

end_write() sets PendingEnd::Trailers, and drain_outbound() queues StreamWantsTrailers for onStreamTrailers. The body queue and unacknowledged-data check can both be empty at this point. Since has_undelivered_outbound() ignores PendingEnd::Trailers, apply_graceful_close() can call apply_close() before the callback supplies the terminal trailer block. The peer can receive the connection close without the stream's trailing headers.

Include PendingEnd::Trailers in the undelivered predicate. The endpoint calls process_events() before maybe_finish_deferred_close(), so clearing the pending end after the terminal trailer write allows the deferred close to proceed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the queued sendHeaders() result. createBidirectionalStream({ headers }) calls stream.sendHeaders(...) at src/js/internal/quic/quic.ts:3142 and discards its boolean. This test therefore checks only stream.closed. A regression that changes the true queue result can still pass. Create the stream without headers, call stream.sendHeaders(refused), and assert that it returns true before checking the eventual H3_INTERNAL_ERROR.

On the two notes outside the diff:

  • Trailers and graceful close: has_undelivered_outbound leaving out PendingEnd::Trailers is main's behaviour and this PR does not change it. Waiting on pending trailers would make a graceful close depend on the application's onwanttrailers callback, which is a policy change for session close, not part of the write failure fix. It belongs in its own issue.
  • Asserting the queued sendHeaders() result in the refused request test: after client.opened, the stream is bound before a user-level sendHeaders() can run, and the call returns false (the bound path). The queued path is only reachable through createBidirectionalStream({ headers }), which sends inside the creation call, so the test keeps that shape.
