fix(runtime): native-async promises are non-moving, their tokens are released, and a top-level await no longer parks on a settled promise (#9356) - #9520
Conversation
…released, and a top-level await no longer parks on a settled promise (PerryTS#9356) drizzle-orm transactions over the native mysql2 binding hung after a few hundred iterations (one pool.query promise never settled), and the same loop with SELECT SLEEP(0.01) segfaulted. Three defects stacked on the perry-ext-mysql2 path: 1. perry_ffi_promise_new minted its promise through js_native_async_completion_new, which allocated in the nursery. The worker thread captures that address as a raw pointer; the token registry's mutable scanner keeps the promise alive and rewrites the token's own slot when the copying minor evacuates it, but nothing can rewrite the worker's copy. The first young collection that landed while a query was in flight left the worker queueing the retired from-space address, the pump settled the stale copy, and the promise the program awaited stayed pending forever. Token promises now live in malloc space (js_promise_new_cross_thread), so the address native code holds never changes. 2. JsPromise::resolve_with / reject_with and the legacy resolve_* shims settle through the stdlib pump, not the token API, so the token registered at creation was never removed: one registry entry per native call, rooted and rewritten on every minor, and js_native_async_has_active pinned at 1. The pump now drops the token when it settles the promise. 3. The codegen busy-wait await (Expr::Await outside an async function) ran drain -> pump -> timers -> js_wait_for_event. The drain can settle the awaited promise itself, and settlements made during a drain deliberately skip the notify, so the loop parked for the full 1 s idle budget on a promise that was already settled. It now re-checks the state before parking. Adds a Tier-3 release fixture (drizzle-mysql2-tx: 400 transactions under a 1 MB nursery) that fails on 0.5.1519 and passes here, plus unit tests for the allocation contract and the token release.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change keeps native async promises in non-moving memory, releases their tokens during stdlib resolution, re-checks promise settlement before await parking, and adds runtime and MySQL2/Drizzle transaction coverage. ChangesNative async lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR fixes native asynchronous transaction hangs and settled-await stalls, but the shared completion path still appears to retain per-operation token state after release, creating a bounded leak and stale-accessor risk across repeated async operations. The added MySQL release fixture also exposes its password in process arguments, so merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Summary
Fixes #9356:
drizzle-ormtransactions overmysql2hang after a few hundred iterations (the promise of onepool.querynever settles), and theSELECT SLEEP(0.01)variant of the same loop segfaults.Three defects stacked on the
perry-ext-mysql2path. All three were found with an env-gated tick/wake/pump trace of the runtime on the reporter's own script (perrymaster, MySQL 8.0.46, drizzle-orm 0.44.7).1. The hang: a native-async promise moved under the worker's raw pointer
perry_ffi_promise_new(perry-ffi'sJsPromise::new) mints its promise throughjs_native_async_completion_new, which allocated it in the nursery. The mysql2 worker captures that address as a raw*mut Promiseand resolves it later from the blocking pool. The token registry's mutable root scanner keeps the promise alive and rewrites the token's own slot when the copying minor evacuates it, but nothing can rewrite the worker's copy. Once a young collection lands while a query is in flight, the worker queues the retired from-space address; the pump then settles the stale copy (or reads whatever now lives there: a non-pendingstatefield turnsjs_promise_resolveinto a silent no-op) and the promise the program awaits stays pending forever. With from-space reused, the same path reads garbage, which is the segfault face.That is exactly the reporter's characterisation: deterministic at ~195 transactions (16 MB nursery ÷ per-transaction allocation of the schema-heavy client), ~390 with a bare
drizzle(pool), clean at 500 with rawmysql2(tiny allocation per query), and independent of rows, pool size, delay and locking. Shrinking the nursery to 1 MB moves the hang to iteration 2 to 29.Fix: token promises are allocated in malloc space (
js_promise_new_cross_thread, the same reasoning as #8770'sjs_promise_new_for_native_resolution). Malloc space is non-moving, so every address native code captured stays valid for the token's life. Unit test pins that a token promise is not arena resident.2. Every native call leaked its token
JsPromise::resolve_with/reject_withand the legacyresolve_*shims settle through the stdlib pump (js_stdlib_process_pending), not the token API, so the token registered at creation was never removed: one registry entry per mysql2 query (trace: 4 tokens created, 0 drained), each keeping its settled promise rooted and rewritten on every minor, andjs_native_async_has_active()pinned at 1. The pump now drops the token when it settles the promise, mirroring whatjs_native_async_process_pendingdoes for token-API settlements. Unit test covers the deferred path end to end.3. Top-level
awaitparked for a full idle budget after its promise had settledThe codegen busy-wait
await(Expr::Await, non-async context) runs drain → stdlib pump → timers →js_wait_for_event. The pump delivers the native completion and the drain then runs the async chain to the point where it fulfils the awaited promise, but settlements made during a drain deliberately skip the notify (js_notify_promise_progress), sojs_wait_for_eventfound nothing pending and parked for the wholeIDLE_CAP_MS(1 s). On perrymaster that was one 1 s stall per transaction (the reporter's box wins the race with the worker's final notify more often). The loop now re-checks the promise state after the tick phases and only parks while it is still pending.Evidence
Reporter's script (
issue9356-repro.ts:drizzle(pool, { mode: "default" }), one 81-rowtx.executeper transaction, top-levelawaitloop), perrymaster, MySQL 8.0.46,perry-ext-mysql2linked, a 5 ms interval timer running so the pre-fix stall does not dominate the timing:Without the interval timer (nothing else on the loop), 5 transactions took 5.0 s on main (one 1 s park per transaction, bug 3) and 600 take 0.46 s with this PR. A 20-query program exits 14 ms after
pool.end()(previously the leaked tokens keptjs_native_async_has_active()at 1).Trace on main (env-gated tick/wake/pump/scanner trace, not part of this PR), 200 transactions under a 1 MB nursery: 592 token promises created, 330 of them relocated by the copying minor while registered, 0 tokens ever drained (the leak). Three times the worker queued its resolution against an address the scanner had already retired, e.g.
In the traced run each of the three was rescued: another collection ran in the 5 ms between queue and pump and the
PENDING_DEFERREDroot scan rewrote the queued slot to the new address. Without that coincidence (the untraced runs above, where queue and pump are microseconds apart) the pump settles the retired copy and the transaction never completes.New release fixture
