Problem

• filesink.test.ts fails at random in CI with File descriptor leak detected: 11 (current) > 10 (initial): 7 of the 1506 builds from 124836 to 126506, in three cases.
• A FileSink closes its fd on a work pool thread (src/io/pipes.rs:108) after end() resolves. fileDescriptorLeakChecker() in test/harness.ts reads the fd table once, at scope exit, and can run before that close.

Fix

• fileDescriptorLeakChecker() is now await using only. It polls for at most 2 s until the highest fd is back at its initial value. If it is not, the checker throws.
• The six callers in filesink.test.ts use await using. Their Bun.sleep(10) waits are gone.
• The checker has no Symbol.dispose. A plain using throws a TypeError and fails bun check, so the race cannot come back.
• Verified: test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts passes on a debug build of main (77 tests). In a loop over two of the test bodies, the old checker reports a leak in 19 and 1 of 2000 iterations, the new checker in 0.

Background

• Bun.file(fd).writer() duplicates the fd (src/io/openForWriting.rs:34). The sink owns the duplicate and closes it when it ends.
• On POSIX, PollOrFd::close closes the fd on the work pool through Closer::close. JS cannot await that close.
• This PR first also fixed the race in the pending-write case. test: fix the race in the filesink pending-write test #45103 fixed that race on main, so this PR no longer touches that case.
• Considered a longer fixed sleep. It still races, and every case pays it. The poll waits only as long as the close takes.

Notes

This PR changes tests only. No file under src/ changes, so there is no build on which the new test fails and main passes. The proof is the failure rate before and after.

Scope. The first version of this PR (opened 2026-09-22) fixed two races. The first was in a write() that fails while another is pending rejects the pending promise once: the reader could hang up while the first write() was still sending. #45103 (d66fc00) fixed it on main with the same idea, a createSocketPair() that the test owns. The branch is rebased on main and keeps main's version of that case.

How the race was confirmed. Bun.file(fd).writer() dups the fd, so the highest fd grows by one. The sink closes the dup through Closer::close, which schedules close(2) on the work pool. A loop over the bodies of two cases, 2000 iterations each, on a debug build of main (5866b5f) with no added load:

body	old checker (using, one check)	new checker (await using, poll)
write result is not cumulative	19 of 2000	0 of 2000
end doesn't close when backed by a file descriptor	1 of 2000	0 of 2000

The old checker's message is the one from CI: File descriptor leak detected: 10 (current) > 9 (initial). With 48 busy loops on 12 CPUs and 1000 iterations, the old checker reports 1 and 0, the new checker 0 and 0. An earlier run on a release build (1.4.3-canary, 48 busy loops on 16 CPUs) gave 8 of 3000 for the old checker and 0 of 3000 for the new one. In that build, the dup was still open right after await writer.end() in 288 of 300 runs, and the work pool closed it 0.07 ms later (median).

The message says initial + 1 although the dup is the second fd the test opens. getMaxFD() lists /proc/self/fd with readdirSync, and the listing includes the fd of that directory read. When the test's own fd is closed and the dup is not, the directory read takes the lower number and the dup is the highest.

A real leak still fails. With an fd left open on purpose, the poll ends at its deadline and the checker throws File descriptor leak detected: 10 (current) > 9 (initial) after 2069 ms. A plain using throws TypeError: @@dispose must not be undefined or null at the declaration, before the test body runs. bun check -p test reports it as TS2741. With the change, bun check -p test test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts test/harness.ts reports no type errors. In CI the test timeout is 90 s (270 s with ASAN), so the 2 s deadline fits.

CI builds. All are "in the parallel batch, passed alone":

build	date	case	lane
124915	2026-10-12	write result is not cumulative	debian 13 x64
125204	2026-10-13	write result is not cumulative	alpine 3.23 x64
125795	2026-10-15	"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"	debian 13 x64-asan
126173	2026-10-15	write result is not cumulative
126196	2026-10-15	write result is not cumulative
126373	2026-10-16	end doesn't close when backed by a file descriptor	debian 13 x64-asan
126387	2026-10-16	end doesn't close when backed by a file descriptor	alpine 3.23 aarch64

The case in build 125795 already waited Bun.sleep(10) before the check. Older sightings: 119710, 119698, 119675, 119639.

Callers. git grep fileDescriptorLeakChecker on main finds the six sites in filesink.test.ts and nothing else.

test/flaky-tests.txt keeps its entry for this file. It names a highWaterMark case, and its symptom is not recorded.

Status: ready for review. This PR changes tests only.

The branch is rebased on main and reduced to the fileDescriptorLeakChecker() change. #45103 fixed the pending-write race on main, so that part is dropped.

How to reproduce the race on main (Linux): run the body of write result is not cumulative in a loop on a debug build. The using checker reports File descriptor leak detected in 19 of 2000 iterations. The await using checker reports it in 0 of 2000.

Walkthrough

The leak checker now supports asynchronous disposal with delayed validation. FileSink tests use await using and remove explicit delays. The pending-write test creates its socket pair in the child process and verifies shared-promise rejection with EPIPE.

Changes

File descriptor leak and pending write tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Asynchronous leak-checker disposal test/harness.ts, test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts	fileDescriptorLeakChecker retries validation during asynchronous disposal. FileSink tests use await using and remove explicit delay calls.
Pending-write rejection scenario test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts	The child process creates and closes the socket pair. The test verifies that the pending first write and failing second write share a promise, with EPIPE rejection.

Suggested reviewers: cirospaciari

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f1519

This test-only update makes FileSink race coverage deterministic and waits for asynchronous descriptor closure before asserting, with no actionable merge-blocking risk identified.

LGTM — test-only change, and the follow-up commit dropped the sync Symbol.dispose path so the checker can only be consumed via await using.

What was reviewed:

• fileDescriptorLeakChecker async dispose: bounded 2s poll on getMaxFD() (readdir of /proc/self/fd / /dev/fd, open+close fallback elsewhere); a real leak still throws at the deadline with the same message. All six call sites in filesink.test.ts are await using; no other callers in test/.
• Rewritten EPIPE case: child owns both ends of createSocketPair() (AF_UNIX stream, non-blocking), so the 8 MiB first write must back up before closeSync(readFd); Bun.peek.status(first) is asserted as pending in stderr, so the test cannot pass vacuously when the first write completes or fails early. stdout: "ignore" is correct since the child no longer writes stdout; stderr and exit are drained concurrently.
• Static import of bun:internal-for-testing under -e matches existing patterns in the suite.

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches only test/harness.ts and test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts: the FD leak checker becomes asyncDispose-only with a bounded poll, six call sites switch to await using and drop Bun.sleep(10) waits, and one skipIf(isWindows) subprocess test is rewritten to own both socketpair ends in-process. No production code and no security-sensitive surface is touched. The single nit from the prior review (dead sync Symbol.dispose path) was addressed in the latest commit, the only third-party inline thread was resolved by a non-author, and the hunt ran dry with no findings. I could not execute the test locally (no debug build present), so runtime verification rests on the author's stated runs and CI.

[claude]

LGTM — the new push drops the sync Symbol.dispose, so the checker is now await using-only as discussed, and the rest is a mechanical call-site update.

What was reviewed:

• The poll in [Symbol.asyncDispose] (test/harness.ts): exits as soon as current <= initial, and on deadline the final current > initial check still throws, so a real leak is still reported.
• Caller sweep: all six fileDescriptorLeakChecker() sites are in test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts and use await using; no plain-using caller remains anywhere under test/.
• The four removed Bun.sleep(10) lines were only there for the checker; nothing else in those bodies depended on the delay.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches only test/harness.ts (fileDescriptorLeakChecker becomes an async-only disposer that polls getMaxFD() for up to 2 s) and six call sites in test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts, with no production code and no security-sensitive surface. It replaces fixed sleeps with a bounded poll, which is the pattern the repo's own test rules ask for, and the single new commit resolves the one nit raised on the previous version (the dead sync dispose path). The diff is small, self-contained, has no CODEOWNERS coverage, and the socket-pair test the description mentions is already present in the base, so nothing in this diff is unaccounted for.
