Bun.write(file, file): copy a pipe or block-device source with the read/write loop - #47667
Bun.write(file, Bun.stdin) rejects when stdin is a pipe. Linux: Non-regular files aren't supported yet. macOS: ENOTSUP from fcopyfile.
Linux: the last branch of CopyFile::run_async refuses the pair (src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs:838). macOS: fcopyfile copies only a regular file (copy_file.rs:847).
Fix
A pipe or block-device source takes the capped read/write loop. Linux still refuses an fd with no file type (an eventfd).
The cap is that of a socket source on main (read_write_fallback): none for a path, the blob's size for an fd. 16 of 16 cases match.
Verified: test/js/bun/io/bun-write-pipe-source.test.ts (32 tests, main fails 26), rust:check-all, darwin CI (27 pass).
A waiting pipe copy holds a pool thread until the writer closes: worker.terminate() takes 3979 ms (main: 0.3 ms). Bun.write(dest, Bun.stdin.stream()) holds none.
A reader that started on Bun.stdin shares fd 0 with the copy: the file has holes (13184 of 25600 bytes). Main has this race for a socket source.
macOS did not run locally. The original report is the macOS half, and the darwin lanes prove it. On the final head (f848bc2) bun-write-pipe-source.test.ts gave 27 pass, 5 skip, 0 fail on darwin aarch64 and on darwin x64. The skipped tests are Linux-only.
Which pairs change
Linux, by source type and cached destination type: a FIFO into a regular file, an unknown destination, a character device, a socket or a block device (5 pairs), and a block device into each of the 6 destination types.
Linux: a source with no file type (eventfd, timerfd, epoll) is still refused. Without that check, Bun.write(path, Bun.file(eventfd)) never settles and the process does not exit. Main rejects it in 7 ms. A symlink fd (O_PATH) now rejects with EBADF from read (main: errno 95).
macOS: every source that is not a regular file, into a path. On main a pipe, a socket or a device fails with ENOTSUP. By reading Apple's copyfile.c, a symlink fd makes fcopyfile return 0 with nothing copied, so main resolves with an empty file. It now gets what read gives.
macOS and FreeBSD, an fd destination whose blob size is 0: the loop now copies to EOF, as the Linux branch does on main. Main copies nothing there. A regular source with a size returns before the loop, and an empty one reads EOF at once. A file that reports a size of 0 and has content (procfs) is now copied.
macOS and FreeBSD have no refusal: every source that fstat accepts goes to the loop, as on main for an fd destination.
FreeBSD: Writing stdin to a file errors with ENOTSUP #14054 does not reproduce there. Main copies a pipe into a path to EOF with the node:fs loop, then trims by st_size, which is the count of buffered bytes for a pipe. So a stat first cuts the copy. With this PR the capped loop does that copy, with no trim.
FreeBSD and Windows
FreeBSD: two lanes build it (.buildkite/ci.ts:282) and none runs tests. I compiled the FreeBSD branch of run_async for Linux (its cfg switched) and ran the test file: 31 of 32 pass, and the one failure is the Linux-only refusal test. The same build of main fails 3, and 8 when fstat reports the buffered bytes of a pipe or socket as FreeBSD does. The kernel was Linux.
Tests (32. The loop-device test needs root, so the CI lanes run 31.)
Pipe source, pass after and fail before on Linux (25): Bun.stdin, Bun.file(0), /dev/stdin, .write(), new Response(Bun.stdin), [Bun.stdin], the .blob() workaround from the issue, a FIFO path, 1 MiB, an empty pipe, exists() or .size first (4 rows), a slice of a destination fd, a destination fd whose cached size is 0, { mode }, destinations >, >>, /dev/null, a socket and a terminal, a read error (EBADF), and a write error (ENOSPC from /dev/full, 2 forms).
Block-device source (1): a read-only loop device, copied to EOF. It fails before on Linux. It runs where losetup can attach a device, which is not the case on the CI lanes.
Socket source (4): into a path, exists() first, an fd whose cached size is 0, a slice of an fd. Linux passes them before and after: they pin the cap that the new branch takes. By reading, macOS fails the first three before.
Pass before and after on Linux (2 more): a /dev/null source (it fails before on macOS only), and the refusal of Bun's own epoll fd.
Not tested: the other 5 block-device pairs and a symlink fd.
CI on f848bc2: 27 pass, 5 skip on darwin aarch64 and darwin x64. 31 pass, 1 skip (the loop device) on 7 Linux lanes: debian x64, aarch64 and ASAN, ubuntu x64 and aarch64, alpine x64 and aarch64. The Windows lanes skip the file.
Also ran on a debug build, all pass: test/regression/issue/25903.test.ts, blob-write.test.ts, bun-stdin-slice.test.ts, bun-file.test.ts, worker-terminate-lifetime.test.ts. bun-write.test.js on the release builds: 104 pass, 3 skip on main and on this PR.
The tests are in a new file. bun-write.test.js times out on debug builds of main without this PR: Bun.file(0) survives GC failed 4 of 4 whole-file runs (5.1 to 5.3 s against the 5 s limit). 23 more spawned processes in that file made a second test time out.

macOS path-destination copy: instructions not measured. The darwin lanes passed the tests of the final head
The pool thread
The wait is not new: pipe to pipe parks a pool thread on main. This PR makes it reachable from 5 more destination types. If the writer never closes, the wait has no end.
Two waiting copies stall a 2-thread pool (the stat line above). The pool has one thread per CPU, and 2 at the least.
Main has the same stall for the pairs it copies. Two pipe-to-pipe copies with silent writers make fs.promises.stat take 1973 to 1986 ms on a 2-thread pool (3 of 3 runs), against 2.4 to 2.9 ms without them.
Bun.write(dest, Bun.stdin.stream()) copies a pipe on main since 1.4.1 and holds no pool thread. It is not the same call: it ignores a slice of a destination fd.
No open PR frees the pool thread of a waiting copy on POSIX.
A reader that started on Bun.stdin
Bun.stdin.stream() is cached, and process.stdin and the console iterator read through it. Once that reader started, it polls fd 0 and reads ahead. The copy reads the same fd on a pool thread, and each chunk goes to the one that wakes first.
Probe: 400 lines of 64 bytes, 2 ms apart. The script reads once (getReader(), for await (const line of console) or process.stdin.once("data")), then calls Bun.write(file, Bun.stdin). Main rejects all three. This PR resolves 13184, 13696 and 13184 of 25600 bytes, with 83, 74 and 69 holes.
Main has the same race for the pairs it copies, 3 of 3 runs each: a socket source into a path resolves 15232 to 19328 bytes with 52 to 145 holes, and a pipe into a stdout pipe resolves 12096 to 18176 bytes with 64 to 74 holes.
loop_cap is the rule of read_write_fallback, the loop that main falls back to when sendfile refuses a socket source. A path that Bun opened and truncated takes all of the source. An fd takes the size of its blob, and 0 is unknown, as do_copy_file_range reads it.
Checked on the release builds with 12 bytes, a socket source on main against a pipe source on this PR. The 16 rows give the same result and the same file. Main rejects all 16 for a pipe source.

5 of the 16 rows are wrong, for a socket source on main too: a path ignores its slice (3 rows), .size on a 5-byte file caps an fd at 5, and slice(0, 0) of an fd copies to EOF.
The first push took the blob's size as the cap for a path too, so exists() or .size on a 5-byte file cut the copy to 5 of 12 bytes. The second push guessed which sizes a stat had cached. A stale size and a slice as long as the cached size defeated that guess. This push has no guess.
Main, existing branches: with a non-blocking stdout pipe, a 1 MiB file rejects with EAGAIN from sendfile after 65536 bytes, and a 1 MiB pipe rejects with EAGAIN from splice after 65536 bytes.
This PR, new branch: an empty stdin pipe with O_NONBLOCK rejects with EAGAIN from read (5 of 5 runs). A 1 MiB pipe into a stdout socket that process.stdout made non-blocking rejected with EAGAIN from write after 757445 bytes in 1 of 2 runs. Main refuses both pairs before it reads the pipe.
Bun.write(file, file): cancel a copy that waits when its VM stops #47157 rewrites the Linux dispatch into plan(), which returns no plan for a pipe into a file, and its test expects the refusal text. After this PR that row is the read/write plan and that test changes. Its macOS check must keep every non-regular source off fcopyfile.
splice for a pipe into a file. It leaves block-device sources refused. No CPU win in a C probe, 1 GiB from a pipe, 6 interleaved rounds: tmpfs 2316 ms (range 1982-2448) with splice against 2365 ms (655-2659) with read/write, ext4 2664 ms (2521-2802) against 2324 ms (1580-2453). It halves the system calls (16385 against 32769).
A stream route in Blob.rs, which sends a pipe source to the path that Bun.write(dest, stream) takes. It needs the file type of the source on the JS thread. That type is cached for Bun.stdin and after a stat. It is not cached for Bun.file(0), /dev/stdin or a FIFO path, so those still need this change.
node:fs: fs.copyFile from a FIFO throws ENOTSUP in Bun and resolves with a 0-byte file in Node 26.3. fs.cp throws ERR_FS_CP_FIFO_PIPE in both. These checks answer to Node and are not changed here.
The docs table in docs/runtime/file-io.mdx said sendfile for a pipe into a file and for a pipe into a socket. The first was this refusal. For the second, can_sendfile (src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs:658) takes a regular file only.

…ad/write loop
On Linux, CopyFile::run_async picked copy_file_range, splice or sendfile
by file type and rejected every other pair with a hand-built ENOTSUP
("Non-regular files aren't supported yet"). A pipe source into a file,
a terminal or a socket took that branch, and so did every block-device
source. The destination was already open with O_TRUNC at that point.
Such a source now takes the capped read/write loop that macOS and FreeBSD
already use for a destination fd. A source with no file type (an eventfd,
an epoll fd) keeps the ENOTSUP, because a read from it never reaches EOF.
On macOS and FreeBSD a path destination takes fcopyfile (FreeBSD: the
node:fs loop and its st_size trim) only when the source is a regular
file. fcopyfile refuses any other source type with ENOTSUP.
A cap of 0 means an unknown length in the capped loop, as it does in
do_copy_file_range, so a pipe copy into a destination whose size exists()
resolved to 0 copies to EOF.
See #14054.

Walkthrough
Bun.write now uses capped read/write copying for additional source types on supported platforms. The syscall table reflects file-to-pipe paths. New tests cover pipe and socket sources, destination behavior, and error cases.
The copy loop selects a cap based on destination metadata. Linux and Android route eligible file types through the loop. macOS and FreeBSD optimized paths require regular sources and path destinations. The syscall table reflects file-to-pipe changes.
The tests cover source forms, FIFO copying, byte order, empty input, copying to EOF, destination slices, file replacement, and mode options.
Destination and error tests test/js/bun/io/bun-write-pipe-source.test.ts
The tests cover redirected output, sockets, terminals, block devices, unsupported file descriptors, read and write errors, and socket-source copying.

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/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs — Scripts whose stdin pipe carries O_NONBLOCK now get an EAGAIN rejection after part of the pipe has been consumed and part of the file written, where the base rejected before touching either. The new read at copy_file.rs:984 goes through a wrapper that retries only EINTR (src/sys/linux_syscall.rs:62), so an empty-for-now pipe returns EAGAIN mid-loop. Fix: on EAGAIN in read_write_loop_capped, wait for readability (poll) and continue, for both the read and the write side, so the loop only ends at EOF or a real error. [also at: src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs:991 - Users copying a pipe into a stdout socket that a FileSink already made non-blocking get a mid-copy EAGAIN rejection with the consumed input lost, instead of the base's clean ENOTSUP. src/io/openForWriting.rs:157 sets O_NONBLOCK on fd 1 whenever a FileSink opens a non-tty stdout, and that flag is on the shared open file description.]
Why this was flagged
If a parent process shares a non-blocking stdin pipe with Bun, Bun.write(dest, Bun.stdin) reaches the new Linux branch at copy_file.rs:841 and the macOS branch at copy_file.rs:881. read_write_loop_capped at copy_file.rs:982-999 reads with bun_sys::read, which maps EAGAIN straight to Err (src/sys/linux_syscall.rs:62 retries only Errno::INTR), so the first moment the writer is slower than the reader the promise rejects with EAGAIN. By then bytes already read have been written to the destination (opened O_TRUNC) and removed from the pipe. On the base branch the same call rejected with ENOTSUP at copy_file.rs:846 before any read, so a caller that catches the error and falls back to Bun.stdin.text() still saw the full input; after this change that fallback silently loses the drained prefix. FileReader.rs:215-243 not setting O_NONBLOCK does not help because the flag is inherited on the shared description, not set by Bun.
Verification:retry at /home/claude/bun/src/sys/linux_syscall.rs:62-70 continues only on Errno::INTR and returns every other errno — EAGAIN included — as Err. Nothing in copy_file.rs handles EAGAIN or polls, so the ? at line 984 unwinds the loop, leaving the chunks already read from the pipe consumed. On Linux the base took unsupported_non_regular_file_error() deterministically for pipe->file without reading the pipe.
…from a pipe
The capped read/write loop took the size of the destination blob as its
byte budget. After `.size` or `exists()` on an existing destination
that size is the old length of the file, so a copy from a pipe stopped
there with no error.
For a source with no length, a destination size of 0, or one that is not
smaller than the size a stat cached for the destination, is now an
unknown length. Only a narrower slice caps the copy. A regular-file
source keeps its budget.
See #14054.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the new S::ISREG(source) gate on the macOS fcopyfile branch makes the EBADF read/write fallback inside do_fcopy_file_with_read_write_loop_fallback dead — it does not: that fallback handles a non-seekable destination given by path (e.g. /dev/stdout piped to another process) with a regular-file source, which still reaches fcopyfile.
Extended reasoning...
The second push adds loop_cap in src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs and wires it into the Linux, macOS and FreeBSD read/write-loop arms; the EBADF fallback at copy_file.rs:540 was examined and remains reachable because the new gate tests the source's st_mode while that fallback exists for a non-seekable destination. The hunt stopped at its bug cap and inline findings are posted, so this is not an approval.

Reject zero-type FreeBSD sources before the read loop.
941-944: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Reject zero-type FreeBSD sources before the read loop.
On FreeBSD, the non-regular-source branch in do_copy_file sends every source to do_read_write_loop_capped without checking the file type. The Linux branch rejects a source whose st_mode & IFMT is zero with unsupported_non_regular_file_error(). A FreeBSD descriptor with no file type therefore gets read until EOF or error instead of being rejected. This path existed before the PR, so this change does not introduce it. The PR only changes the byte cap for that read. Add the same zero-type check to the FreeBSD branch, after confirming unsupported_non_regular_file_error compiles on FreeBSD.

…rite fallback
The cap of the new loop was a guess from the cached size of the
destination. A stale size still cut the copy short, and a slice as
long as the cached size was read as no slice.
The loop now has the rule that `read_write_fallback` has on main for a
socket source. A path that Bun opened takes all of the source. An fd
takes the size of its blob, and 0 is unknown.
Tests: the destination slice is a slice of an fd. A new test copies
into an fd whose cached size is 0. `mkfifo` runs with `Bun.spawn`.
Tests:
- A socket source (the stdin "pipe" of `Bun.spawn`) pins the cap that
the new branch takes from `read_write_fallback`. On macOS three of
the four rows need the fix.
- A loop device covers the block-device half of the new branch where a
machine can attach one. The CI lanes cannot.
- The read-error test does not run on FreeBSD, where a pipe goes both
ways.
- The Windows skip states its reason.
The comment on the macOS branch said that `fcopyfile` refuses every
source that is not a regular file. For a symlink fd it returns 0 and
copies nothing. The comment now says what it copies.
The third push (fd4b80e and 7a816c1) answers the review of 5990cb5. The inline threads have the details. The findings with no thread are here.
The cap. The guess from the cached size is gone. The loop takes the rule that read_write_fallback has on main for a socket source: no cap for a path that Bun opened, the size of the blob for an fd. With 12 bytes and 16 destination cases, a pipe source on this branch gives the same count and the same file as a socket source on main (table in the body, "The cap"). A path destination ignores its slice, as it does for a socket source on main. An exact cap needs the slice flag of #41209 or the change of #43910, both in Blob.rs.
EAGAIN from a non-blocking end. Not changed. Main has the same result on the branches it has. With a non-blocking stdout pipe, a 1 MiB file rejects with EAGAIN from sendfile after 65536 bytes, and a 1 MiB pipe rejects with EAGAIN from splice after 65536 bytes (both ran on 3f3a9ff). #46858 makes read_write_loop_capped wait on EAGAIN. It covers the new branch with no more lines, and the two PRs do not conflict in copy_file.rs, in either order. The body lists this under Downsides.
A pool thread that waits. Not changed, and listed under Downsides with numbers. Bun.write(dest, Bun.stdin.stream()) holds no pool thread, and #47157 is the open PR for a cancel path.
A source with no file type on FreeBSD. Not changed. FreeBSD has no refusal on main for any source: a path destination reads to EOF with the node:fs loop, and an fd destination with the capped loop. A new rejection there needs a FreeBSD run, and no lane runs tests on FreeBSD. I ran the FreeBSD branch on a Linux kernel with its cfg switched: 31 of 32 tests pass, and the one failure is the Linux-only refusal test.
New in this push. Four tests with a socket source, one with a block device (a loop device, where the machine can attach one), and a reason on the Windows skip. The body has one more downside that a review found: after a reader started on Bun.stdin, the copy and that reader share fd 0, and the file has holes. Main has that race for a socket source and for pipe to pipe.

Review comments at @src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs:
- Around line 494-495: Update the `CopyFile` length handling so an explicit
zero-length destination slice copies no bytes, while an unknown-size fd
destination can still copy normally; because `CopyFile` currently receives only
`max_length`, establish and propagate a distinct signal for an explicitly empty
window rather than treating every zero as empty.
Review comments at @test/js/bun/io/bun-write-pipe-source.test.ts:
- Around line 303-307: Check the second `losetup` result in the test before
calling `Bun.spawn`; if allocation fails, report an allocation error instead of
passing a missing device to the child. Keep the existing successful-device flow
unchanged.

On the offer of a follow-up issue for the wait on the pool thread: no new issue is needed from this thread. The wait is not specific to this PR. On main, two pipe-to-pipe copies with silent writers make fs.promises.stat take 1973 to 1986 ms on a 2-thread pool (3 of 3 runs, 2.4 to 2.9 ms without them). The body now has that number under "The pool thread", and #47157 is the open PR for the cancel path.
…op device
The probe and the block-device test ignored the result of `losetup --detach`. A detach that fails now fails the run, so a loop device cannot stay attached unseen.
The optional finding on a6903b7 (a losetup --detach that fails was not reported) is done in f848bc2. The block-device test asserts the result of the detach after its finally block, and the probe at module level throws when its detach fails. No other change is in that commit.
