Close the connection when a Bun.file response ends short of its Content-Length by robobun · Pull Request #41622 · oven-sh/bun

robobun · 2026-09-06T12:21:56Z

Problem

Bun.serve takes Content-Length for a Bun.file body from an fstat. When the file then yields fewer bytes, FileResponseStream ends the response as complete (src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs:318, :460, :585), and the client waits for the rest until the idle timeout.
Triggers: a file that shrinks while it is sent, or whose stat size overstates its content (sysfs: 4096 bytes by fstat, 6 when read).

Fix

FileResponseStream counts the bytes still owed in remaining.
Every end that is not an abort or an error goes through complete(). A short body ends like a Connection: close response: uWS sends the bytes that exist, then FIN.
uws_res_end_sendfile now honors its close_connection argument, which it ignored.
Verified: five new cases in test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts, which all time out on bun 1.4.3.

Background

FileResponseStream serves fetch handlers, file routes and directory routes: sendfile(2) for plain Linux TCP from 1 MiB, else a BufferedReader.
A close before the committed Content-Length tells an HTTP/1.1 client that the body is incomplete (RFC 9112 section 8).
Considered a reset, as for a failed stream body (Bun.serve: never terminate a failed body stream as a complete message #40596): it drops the bytes that exist, and macOS can drop the reset itself (fetch(macOS): FIN instead of RST when aborting a request mid-upload #36309). Considered a check in uWS at every response end: it changes user-set Content-Length responses, which Node leaves open.

Downsides

A keep-alive connection closes after a short file body. A Connection: close client sees the same bytes and FIN as before.
A complete response pays 8 bytes per stream and one subtraction per chunk. No new allocation or syscall.

Notes

Found by a maintainer's error-channel audit, not a user report. Repro: a 40 MiB file, fs.truncateSync(p, 1 << 20) 2 ms into the handler, a raw client that reads with a 12 s timeout. Stock bun: content-length 41943040 body bytes 2691072, no FIN or RST, pendingRequests 0. With this change the client prints client: fin after the same 2691072 bytes.
The new cases: a mid-body shrink from a fetch handler (plain and TLS), a file route (plain) and a directory route (TLS), and a sysfs attribute (Linux only). Each waits for the server to end the connection and expects no reset. The sysfs case also expects Connection: close in the head and the 6 bytes of the file as the body. On Linux the plain cases end in sendfile(2) returning 0, the TLS cases in the reader's end with no data, and the sysfs case in the reader's end with a final chunk.
What ran where. The five cases pass on a debug ASAN build of the fix and time out on bun 1.4.3. CI build 123222 is green on every lane, and its macOS arm64 shard with this file ran on the 26.6.1 agent that timed out before. The check that disabling the condition in complete() fails all five cases was done on the revision before the last one (the same complete() with a reset in place of the close mark). The build host stopped completing builds before I could repeat it.
The first version of the shrink test used a 32 MiB file and timed out on a macOS 26.6.1 arm64 agent (build 122326): one of its two cases, in each of four attempts. Two causes fit, and I could not measure that host. One: the server sends until the socket stops taking bytes, so a file that the loopback buffers hold is sent whole before the test shrinks it (this reproduces on Linux with a 2 MiB file). Two: that revision reset the connection, and XNU drops a reset whose sequence number is past the receive window (fetch(macOS): FIN instead of RST when aborting a request mid-upload #36309). The file is now a 256 MiB length with no bytes written, each case checks that the response was still in flight when the file shrank, and the server no longer resets.
The 8 bytes: remaining is a Cell<Option<u64>> (16 bytes) and Sendfile loses its u64.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 ignore the close flag (Http2Response::internalEnd, Http3Response.h), so a short body there still ends its stream as before, and the client's own content-length check reports it.
A read error mid-body still resets the connection (fail_with, not changed here). On macOS that reset has the same exposure as in fetch(macOS): FIN instead of RST when aborting a request mid-upload #36309.
Nothing is reported on the server for a short body: no error() call, nothing on stderr. A read error mid-body is silent in the same way today. Stream bodies report theirs through report_committed_body_error (Bun.serve: never terminate a failed body stream as a complete message #40596).
Node v26.3.0 leaves the socket open when a response ends short of a Content-Length the app set (checked: 6 bytes under Content-Length: 4096, no close after 2.5 s).
This supersedes Bun.serve: close connection when file body is truncated mid-send #34185, a fix for the same bug from July whose branch is in conflict with main.
Bun.serve: fall back to read+write when sendfile(2) refuses the file #41474 reads Sendfile.remain in its fallback arm. After this lands that read becomes self.remaining.get().
Bun.serve: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 to its end #43974 (draft) streams a regular file with st_size 0 to its end with length: None. complete() only acts on a stream that was started with a length.
Not touched here, same shape on the sending side: the fetch client's Bun.file upload path (src/http/SendFile.rs:58).
Not fixed here: a fetch handler that returns new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10)) for a 16-byte file sends Content-Length: 16 and 5 bytes, and the connection stays open. The stream is started with the slice length and delivers all of it, so complete() sees a whole body. The head is wrong there: do_sendfile sets needs_content_range for path-backed blobs only.
Not fixed here: new Response(Bun.file(fd)) with the fd position advanced declares the full stat size. The reader backend then sends from the fd position (64512 of 65536 bytes after a 1024-byte read), and the sendfile backend sends from offset 0. With this PR the short case delivers those bytes and then closes the connection. The framing is a separate defect.

Walkthrough

FileResponseStream tracks the committed response length across reader and sendfile transfers. When a response ends with bytes outstanding, it requests connection closure. Changes to the TLS and plain TCP sendfile paths apply the close state. New raw-socket tests cover truncated file responses.

Changes

File response truncation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transfer accounting and completion `src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs`	FileResponseStream tracks the optional remaining length and updates it as bytes are sent. Reader EOF and sendfile completion use shared completion logic, which requests connection closure when known bytes remain.
Connection-close handling and tests `src/uws_sys/libuwsockets.cpp`, `test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts`	The TLS and plain TCP sendfile paths set the connection-close state when requested. Raw-socket tests check short bodies and connection closure for fetch handlers, file routes, directory routes, and a Linux sysfs case.

Status

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3 with the script from the report: a 40 MiB Bun.file response, the file truncated to 1 MiB 2 ms into the handler, a raw client that reads with a 12 s timeout. The client got content-length 41943040, 2691072 body bytes, and no FIN or RST. server.pendingRequests was 0.

With this branch the client gets the same 2691072 bytes and then a FIN. The five new cases in test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts time out on bun 1.4.3 and pass with this branch. CI build #123222 is green on every lane.

Self-reviewed twice. The first review raised 4 concerns, 4 addressed. The second review raised 6 concerns, 6 addressed:

The connection now ends in order, not with a reset. A reset dropped the bytes that exist.
A sysfs file sent to a Connection: close client delivers its bytes again.
macOS can drop a reset (fetch(macOS): FIN instead of RST when aborting a request mid-upload #36309). An in-order close does not have that exposure.
The PR body states what is in scope and what is not.
The closing note on Bun.serve: close connection when file body is truncated mid-send #34185 was wrong on two points. It is corrected there.
remaining has a doc comment.

claude

I reviewed this and didn't find any bugs. It touches the refcounted terminal-path ordering in FileResponseStream and adds a new re-entrant finish() → close_with() → finish() cycle, so a human sign-off on the lifecycle and the Truncated → on_complete owner mapping is worth having.

What was reviewed:

.expect("can_sendfile gates None") is provably guarded — can_sendfile returns false when length is None, and on_sendfile is only reachable with Mode::Sendfile.
close_with() is a byte-for-byte extraction of the old fail_with() body, so Truncated inherits the same RESPONSE_DONE | ERRORED → detach_resp → force_close → deliver → finish ordering as read errors; the nested finish() from inside finish() returns at the FINISHED guard before deref, so the owner ref is released exactly once.
The non-Linux on_sendfile arm and the Sendfile Default impl still compile after remain was hoisted out (only offset remains, which is not cfg-gated).
Test: awaits the socket "close" event (no sleep-for-condition), port: 0, tempDir with using, Buffer.alloc, describe.concurrent.each over plain/TLS to hit both the sendfile and buffered-reader backends, and socket.on("error", () => {}) is intentional since force_close sends RST.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes a hang when a Response(Bun.file(p)) body's backing file shrinks after the fstat that seeded Content-Length. It touches src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs (hoists the bytes-remaining counter from the Linux-only Sendfile struct onto the stream itself, adds StreamEnd::Truncated, extracts close_with() from fail_with() and end_complete_without_body() from finish(), and wires the truncated check into all three EOF sites: on_read_chunk with ReadState::Eof, on_sendfile with sent == 0 && remain > 0, and finish() for the reader-done-with-no-final-chunk path) and adds two tests (plain TCP and TLS) to test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. The change tightens behavior (force-closes a connection that would otherwise stay open with a desynced HTTP frame) and does not add any new user-input parsing, allocation sizing, or trust boundaries. The .expect() calls are on an internal invariant (can_sendfile requires length.is_some()), not on user- or peer-controlled data.

Level of scrutiny

High. FileResponseStream is intrusively refcounted, has #[cfg(target_os)]-gated arms, and every terminal path must balance the owner ref taken in start() and the read ref taken before BufferedReader::read(). The PR adds a new terminal state and a new re-entrancy shape (finish() → end_truncated() → close_with() → finish()). I traced that the nested call short-circuits at the FINISHED guard so Self::deref runs exactly once, and that close_with() preserves the exact release ordering of the pre-existing fail_with(). But this is exactly the class of code REVIEW.md flags for careful human review of every terminal path.

Other factors

The StreamEnd::Truncated → on_complete mapping for StreamOwner::Ctx is a design choice the PR description justifies ("the owners only release the request on either callback"), but I did not independently verify what RequestContext's on_complete does with an already-force-closed socket versus on_error — a maintainer familiar with RequestContext should confirm this is the intended surface (no error() handler call, no request.signal abort). The test's 32 MiB body vs. 4 KiB truncation gives ample margin over loopback socket buffers, and the failure-to-fix mode is a timeout (not a false pass), which is what a hang-regression test wants. The test follows all test/CLAUDE.md conventions (no sleep-for-condition, port: 0, tempDir with using, describe.concurrent.each, combined-object assertion).

robobun · 2026-09-06T13:30:33Z

On the Truncated to on_complete mapping: RequestContext::on_file_stream_error is on_file_stream_complete with the error dropped (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1668). Both detach the response, drain the request body stream, and release the context. Neither calls error() or aborts request.signal, which is the intent: the headers are already on the wire, so there is nothing a handler could do with the failure, and the client did not abort. The force-close happens before either callback runs, as it does for a read error.

CI on 9c43e0c: 176 of 181 jobs green, 4 still scheduled. The one red lane is debian 13 x64-asan, where test/js/node/test/parallel/test-crypto-dh-leak.js fails. That test also fails on main and is outside this diff (an RSS bound on DH key generation). The new file-serving tests passed on every lane, including Windows, macOS, and musl. Ready for review.

…ength Bun.serve writes Content-Length for a Bun.file body from the fstat it takes when the response starts. When the file shrinks before the body is fully sent, the read hits EOF short of that length. FileResponseStream ended the response there as if the body were whole, so the request was retired as a complete keep-alive response and the client waited for the missing bytes until the idle timeout (forever with idleTimeout: 0). FileResponseStream now tracks the bytes still owed on a fixed-length body. An EOF before that balance reaches zero force-closes the socket, on the sendfile path (sendfile returns 0) and on the reader path (an EOF chunk, or the reader's done callback with no final chunk).

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that length matches the Content-Length actually written at all three owner sites (RequestContext whole-file/slice/Range, FileRoute, DirectoryRoute), that Truncated landing in on_file_stream_complete is the same cleanup the error path already uses, and that returning true from on_writable after the new finish() -> force_close branch is safe because uWS checks us_socket_is_closed right after the callback — none of these turned up a problem.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces the per-sendfile remain with a stream-level remaining balance in src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs and routes an early EOF through a new end_truncated -> close_with force-close on all three EOF sites (reader EOF chunk, sendfile returning 0, finish() via on_reader_done), plus a plain/TLS test. No security-sensitive surface. The only open item is the inline coverage finding; the refactor itself preserves the prior error-path teardown and refcount flow.

Rebased on main (95690fc). The branch was 427 commits behind. The previous head was 9c43e0c.

One file had a conflict, test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts, in the import lines. Main added isLinux and utimesSync. This PR added tls, truncateSync and the node:net import. The rebase keeps all of them. src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs applied without a conflict, and its diff against main has the same lines as before.

Checked on a debug build of the rebased tree: bun-serve-file.test.ts passes (174 pass, 0 fail), and this includes the two tests of this PR.

Every end of a file body that is not an abort or an error now goes through complete(). It ends the response when the body reached its committed length, and closes the connection when bytes are still owed. The sendfile end, the reader's end with a final chunk and the reader's end without one no longer each carry their own check.

The file in the shrink tests is now a 256 MiB length with no bytes written. The server sends until the socket stops taking bytes, so a file that the loopback buffers can hold is sent whole before the test can shrink it, and the wait for a close never ends. Each case also checks that the response was still in flight when the file shrank. New cases: a file route, a directory route, and a sysfs attribute, whose stat size is a whole page while a read returns a few bytes. The last one ends the body with a final short chunk, which no other case reaches. The servers, sockets and files are released from a hook, because a hang is the failure mode and a hung test body releases nothing.

A body that still owes bytes is now ended with the connection marked to close, the way a Connection: close response ends: uWS sends the bytes that exist, then shuts the socket down once they have drained. The earlier revision reset the connection, which dropped bytes still in the socket buffer and the head of a response that had not left yet. uws_res_end_sendfile took close_connection and ignored it. It now sets the close mark, so the sendfile end can ask for the same teardown.

The cases now expect an in-order end: no reset on the client, and for the sysfs attribute the head with Connection: close and the bytes the file has.

🟡 nit (optional): maintainers running the suite in a sandbox without a real sysfs get a hard failure from this test instead of a skip. The test at test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts:1606-1613 reads /sys/devices/system/cpu/online and asserts statSize > content.length, but only gates on isLinux. Fix: skip when the attribute is missing or its stat size is not larger than its content (containers with a masked or emulated /sys), so the test only runs where the kernel exhibits the overstated-size property it exists to exercise.

Why this was flagged

The test at test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts:1606-1613 runs on every Linux host (test.concurrent.skipIf(!isLinux)) and reads /sys/devices/system/cpu/online with readFileSync and statSync. On a Linux host where /sys is not mounted, masked by the container runtime, or emulated with a 0 or exact stat size, readFileSync throws or the guard expect(statSize).toBeGreaterThan(content.length) fails, so the test reports a failure that is unrelated to the server code. The base branch has no such test. A skipIf on the precondition (attribute exists and stat size exceeds its content) would make the environment dependence a skip rather than a red run; it is a nit because standard CI runners mount sysfs.

Verification: Triggers only when the suite runs on a Linux host whose /sys is unmounted, masked, or emulated. test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts:1612 gates solely on test.concurrent.skipIf(!isLinux), then line 1616 readFileSync(attribute) throws or line 1618 expect(statSize).toBeGreaterThan(content.length) fails. Either outcome is reported as a test FAILURE, rather than a skip.

+        end(resp, short || resp.should_close_connection());


🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 a Bun.file body that ends short still finishes as a complete stream, same as on the base branch. The short flag computed at FileResponseStream.rs:558 is handed to end, but the H2/H3 arms discard it: Http2Response::internalEnd (Http2Context.h:1836) and endWithoutBody (Http2Context.h:1794) take the close flag as an unnamed, unused parameter, so the stream ends with END_STREAM and fewer DATA bytes than content-length. Fix: on the H2/H3 variants map a short body to a stream reset (e.g. the force_close RST_STREAM path) rather than a normal end, covering both the EOF-chunk and finish() sites; only the TCP/TLS arms are fixed by this change.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

A Bun.serve server with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 enabled returns new Response(Bun.file(p)) and p shrinks after the fstat. FileResponseStream::complete at src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs:553-559 computes short = remaining > 0 and passes it as the close flag to resp.end / resp.end_without_body. For AnyResponse::H2 and ::H3 those go to uws_h2_res_end (src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h2.cpp:74), which calls Http2Response::end/endWithoutBody; internalEnd(std::string_view, uint64_t, bool, bool) at packages/bun-uws/src/Http2Context.h:1836 and endWithoutBody(std::optional<size_t>, bool) at Http2Context.h:1794 never read the final bool, so the stream is closed with END_STREAM after fewer DATA bytes than the committed content-length. A strict client reports a malformed response; a lenient one treats the truncated body as complete. This is identical to the base branch; the PR only fixes the TCP/TLS arms. No safeguard on the H2/H3 side turns the flag into RST_STREAM.

Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: Bun.serve started with http2: true (or H3) serving new Response(Bun.file(p)), and the file shrinks after the fstat. internalEnd(std::string_view body, uint64_t totalSize, bool optional, bool) (Http2Context.h:1836) never reads its fourth parameter, so END_STREAM is sent with fewer DATA bytes than the committed content-length. This is the same behavior as the base branch.

+                remaining: Cell::new(opts.length),


🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: a Bun.file body whose written Content-Length differs from StartOptions::length still ends as complete when short, so the client waits exactly as on the base branch. remaining is seeded from opts.length at FileResponseStream.rs:183, not from the Content-Length the caller committed, so the two can disagree. Fix: make the short check compare against the Content-Length actually written, or make every caller write Content-Length equal to length (RequestContext.rs:3886-3891 for Bun.file(fd).slice(), FileRoute.rs:439-443 when a route keeps a user Content-Length header).
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

A fetch handler returns new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(0, 10)) for a 1000-byte file. RequestContext.rs:1812-1815 sets auto_close false for an fd blob, so RequestContext.rs:1906-1910 never sets needs_content_range; RequestContext.rs:1893 overwrites blob.size with stat_size, and RequestContext.rs:3788-3792 picks size = blob.size() = 1000 for the Content-Length written at RequestContext.rs:3887, while length passed at RequestContext.rs:2030-2034 is sendfile.remain = 10. FileResponseStream.rs:183 seeds remaining with 10; after 10 bytes charge_remaining reaches 0 and FileResponseStream.rs:557 computes short = false, so FileResponseStream.rs:558 ends the response keep-alive with 990 bytes owed. The base branch hangs the client the same way; the new close-on-short logic does not reach these cases because its balance is not the committed length.

Verification: pre-existing — the base branch hangs the client by the same route; but the PR's new short-body close does not reach this case. Trigger: a fetch handler returns new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(0, n)). RequestContext.rs:3886-3888 writes Content-Length = stat_size while :2030-2031 passes length = n; FileResponseStream.rs:183 seeds remaining with n, so :553-560 computes short = false.
