fix(iouring): run every driver op through the engine's own duplicate of the socket, and count every cancel until its CQE, so closing after UnregisterConn is safe (celeris#691, celeris#707) - #696
Conversation
… first (celeris#691) UnregisterConn only queues the unregister. The worker issues the ASYNC_CANCEL later, keyed by descriptor number, and the kernel resolves the number when it is issued. A caller that closes fd right after UnregisterConn (the memcached, redis and postgres drivers all do) makes the cancel miss. The RECV armed on the socket keeps it open, so onClose never fires and the peer never sees EOF. A reused number makes the cancel land on whatever socket then holds it. These tests fail on 9f4d89b for that reason. Most park the worker goroutine inside another driver conn's onRecv while the caller acts, so the cancel is issued after the close every time: - R1 and R3: unregister, then close at once (R3 with the worker busy). - The control: wait for onClose before closing. It passes on 9f4d89b. - The number reused by another driver conn on the same worker. - The failDriverConn cancel (a failed SEND) followed by an unregister and a close. - A register that armDriverRecv refuses, with the unregister behind it. - A close before UnregisterConn, which is outside the contract, with the number reused. - N cycles of every path that ends a driver conn, then a check that the process holds exactly the descriptors it held before. - Shutdown with the unregisters queued. CI runs all io_uring driver tests by name, five times each, with -v and a tally that fails on any FAIL or SKIP line.
…tor, so closing after UnregisterConn cannot make the cancel miss (celeris#691) UnregisterConn now duplicates fd (F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) on the caller's goroutine before it returns. The worker's IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_FD cancel uses the duplicate, which names the same open file however soon the caller closes fd. The cancel therefore reaches the armed RECV, the conn is finalized, onClose fires and the socket closes. The duplicate is closed by retire, which every path that removes the conn from driverConns calls: finalizeDriver, armDriverRecv's refusal and shutdownDrivers. Nothing is submitted after shutdownDrivers. - failDriverConn (a failed SEND with the RECV armed) takes the duplicate too, unless UnregisterConn already holds one. Its cancel is also issued later, and a caller that unregisters and closes first would make it miss. - An unregister queued behind a conn that has since been retired issues nothing. By then its numbers may name another socket. - RegisterConn records the socket's identity with fstat. A duplicate that names another file means fd was closed before UnregisterConn (outside the contract) and its number reused. That duplicate is refused, and no cancel is issued by descriptor. The conn is finalized when its armed RECV completes, as before, and the other socket is left alone. engine.WorkerLoop.UnregisterConn now states the contract. fd must be open when UnregisterConn is called, and may be closed as soon as it returns. Cost: one fstat per RegisterConn, and one fcntl, one fstat and one close per teardown. Nothing per request or per loop iteration.
…ering precisely (celeris#691) Comments only. provider.go no longer says the engine cannot tell a reused number: the io_uring engine does check. The shutdownDrivers comment now says why closing the duplicate there is safe: a prepared cancel that still carries its number is never submitted.
…failing first (celeris#691) UnregisterConn now takes a duplicate of the caller's descriptor, and only retire() closes it. A worker that has shut down never retires again, yet RegisterConn still succeeds there (it rebuilds the map shutdownDrivers dropped), so a register, unregister and close on it leaves the duplicate holding the socket open for the life of the process. Engine.WorkerLoop keeps handing such a worker out, and the redis Pub/Sub reconnect loop registers on it after onClose(errEngineShutdown). TestDriverRegisterAfterShutdownIsRefused drives that sequence after the engine stops; TestDriverRegisterRacingShutdownReleasesEverySocket races registers against the stop. Both fail on 086d29b. The CI step now runs 19 tests, and its comment cites #691 for the ZeroOverhead failure rate instead of an unmeasured one.
… so no duplicate outlives it (celeris#691) shutdownDrivers now sets driversClosed under driverMu, the lock RegisterConn inserts under, and RegisterConn returns an error wrapping errEngineShutdown from then on. A conn is either in the map shutdownDrivers takes, and retired by it, or refused: none can be registered where nothing would retire it and close the duplicate its UnregisterConn takes. The epoll engine and the drivers' standalone loop already refuse after shutdown; the redis driver closes its fd when RegisterConn fails. The flag is set before shutdownDrivers' empty-map return, so a worker that had no driver conns refuses too. The #655 test's comment no longer claims RegisterConn reaches the wakeup write after shutdown.
…s before the submit, failing first (celeris#691) armDriverRecv and flushDriverSend prepare their SQEs by the caller's descriptor number, and the kernel resolves it at the submit, at the top of the worker's next iteration. A caller that unregisters and closes in between, with the number then taken by another socket X, sends the op to X. The tests park the worker inside drainDriverActions (the onClose of a register it refuses) after the op was prepared, then unregister, close and let a new socket take the number. TestDriverRecvRearmBeforeSubmitSparesReusedNumber fails on the PR head: the re-armed RECV reads X's first byte, and the socket stays open until then, because the cancel by duplicate no longer follows the number to X. It passes on 9f4d89b, whose number-keyed cancel does. TestDriverSendBeforeSubmitSparesReusedNumber fails on both: A's bytes are written to X's peer.
…ken at RegisterConn (celeris#691) The duplicate UnregisterConn took fixed the cancel, but the RECV and SEND were still prepared by the caller's number and resolved at the next submit. A caller that unregistered and closed in that window, with the number then taken by another socket X, sent the op to X: a re-armed RECV read X's first bytes (and, with the cancel by duplicate missing it, the socket stayed open until X got data; 9f4d89b's cancel by number had cleaned that up), and a SEND wrote the driver's bytes to X's peer (on 9f4d89b too). RegisterConn now takes F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC (lowest number 3) while fd is surely the caller's, and every SQE of the conn names that descriptor: RECV, SEND, and both cancels. retire closes it, once, on every path that removes the conn. UnregisterConn takes nothing any more, so the fstat identity check, fdGone and the fallback to cancelling by fd are gone, and with them the Stat_t.Dev type that did not compile on linux/mips*. Closing fd before UnregisterConn is now harmless on this engine: the cancel still reaches the socket, and TestDriverCloseBeforeUnregisterSparesReusedNumber now expects the prompt release. Cost: one descriptor per registered driver conn for its lifetime; one fcntl at register and one close at finalize, as before minus the fstat. The per-op paths change only which number they name.

… CQE, and the guards, failing first (celeris#691, celeris#707) failDriverConn prepares its ASYNC_CANCEL during CQE processing and does not count it. When the conn's other op completes later in the same batch, that CQE finalizes the conn and retire closes the engine's descriptor while the cancel is still unsubmitted: the kernel then resolves a number the engine has closed, and the cancel's own CQE, routed by the caller's number, reaches whatever conn is registered on it next (celeris#707). - TestDriverFailureCancelCompletesBeforeRelease: A's onClose puts V's socket, whose RECV is armed on this ring, on the number retire closed, as any dup in the process can. V must still receive. - TestDriverFailureCloseCompletionSparesConnOnReusedNumber: celeris#707's probe, committed. N, registered on A's number from A's onClose, must survive. - TestDriverStrayCloseCompletionSparesConn: a close CQE injected for a conn with no cancel of its own counted must be ignored. - TestDriverRefusedRegisterThenNumberReused now puts V's socket on the refused conn's engine number from its onClose, so a cancel issued behind the refusal would cancel V's RECV: it pins cancelDriverConn's retired guard, which no test did since the cancel moved to the engine's number. - TestRegisterConnAfterShutdownDoesNotWriteTheClosedWakeupFD calls addDriverAction after shutdown itself: RegisterConn now refuses there before it queues anything, so it no longer reached the wakeup write.
…o cancel outlives its conn (celeris#691, fixes celeris#707) failDriverConn prepared its ASYNC_CANCEL during CQE processing without counting it. The conn's other op could complete later in the same batch, and its CQE, the last one counted, finalized the conn: retire closed opFD while the cancel was still unsubmitted. At the next submit the kernel resolved a number the engine had closed, which by then any dup in the process could hold, a duplicate of a socket with ops armed on this ring included, whose ops the cancel then cancelled. And the cancel's CQE, routed by the caller's number, closed whatever conn was registered on it next (celeris#707). Every cancel, failDriverConn's and cancelDriverConn's, is now counted in inflightOps until its CQE, so a conn is finalized, and opFD closed, only after all of them have completed; handleDriverClose uncounts one. cancelDriverConn checks retired and counts under one hold of dc.mu. cancels, the part of inflightOps that is cancels, tells handleDriverClose whether a close CQE is the conn's own: user_data carries the caller's number and no generation, and one that finds cancels at zero belongs to a conn that left the map without waiting for it, so it is ignored instead of closing the conn now on that number. Cost: two counter updates per cancel, on the worker. A conn with a cancel in flight is finalized one CQE later than before when that CQE was the last to arrive.
…g, and run the #707 tests in CI (celeris#691) The WorkerLoop text promised, for every engine, that a caller may close fd as soon as UnregisterConn returns. The epoll worker can still read fd by number after UnregisterConn has returned, when it is already inside the conn's read loop, and drops what it reads; a probe shows it 3/3 (celeris#710, filed). The promise now names io_uring and points to #710 for epoll. ci.yml: the celeris#691 step runs the three new driver tests too (24 by name, five runs each, 120 PASS required).

The defect
UnregisterConnonly queues the unregister. Later, the worker issuesIORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCELwithIORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_FD|ALL, and the kernel resolves that descriptor number when the worker issues it. A caller that closesfdas soon asUnregisterConnreturns, as every in-tree driver does, makes the cancel miss:-EBADF.The RECV already armed on the unregistered socket holds its own file reference, so it stays armed:
inflightOpsnever drains andonClosenever fires.hasDriverConnsnever clears.The RECV and SEND had the same exposure:
armDriverRecvandflushDriverSendprepared their SQEs by the caller's number, and the worker submits them at the top of its next iteration (round 2).#707, the same class inside the engine.
failDriverConnprepares its cancel during CQE processing and did not count it. When the conn's other op completed later in the same batch, that CQE finalized the conn and closed the engine's descriptor while the cancel was still unsubmitted. The kernel then resolved a number the engine had closed, and the cancel's own CQE, routed by the caller's number, closed whatever conn was registered on that number next (round 3).The refusal (round 4).
armDriverRecvchecked for an HTTP conn on the number before it checkedclosing, and refused at once, whatever the conn had in flight. It runs for every re-arm too: a re-arm that finds the SQ full comes back as a register. Within the contract (UnregisterConn, thenCloseat once), an accept on the worker can take the closed number before the worker applies that register. The refusal then:onClosethe refusal's error for an unregistered conn, instead of nil;The fix (

An unregistered, failing or finalized conn is neither armed nor refused: its cancel finalizes it after every op in flight, withonClose(nil)afterUnregisterConn.

Until the worker finalizes the conn,fd's number stays a key of that worker's driver map, so aRegisterConnthere of the next socket to get the number, as the lowest free number usually is, fails with "fd already registered". The redis Pub/Sub reconnect, 50 ms afterClose(driver/internal/async/backoff.go:41), can meet it on a worker busy for longer. It is transient, and base held the entry forever in the io_uring: UnregisterConn then Close leaks the driver socket — the fd-keyed ASYNC_CANCEL misses once the caller has closed the fd, so onClose never fires and the peer never sees EOF #691 leak.onClosenow fires one CQE later than before, typically in the next worker iteration.UnregisterConnis a no-op (round 4). Before, if an accept had taken the number, it refused the conn and firedonClosewith "already an HTTP connection". Now the cancel finalizes it andonClosegets nil, as the contract says.fdwithout unregistering, with an accept then taking the number, still gets the refusal's error inonClose, but only after the conn's SEND, if one is in flight, has completed or been cancelled.RegisterConnfails if the duplicate cannot be taken (EMFILE).fdwithout callingUnregisterConn(outside the contract) leaves the socket open, throughopFD, until its peer closes it, or until an accept takes the number and the next re-arm refuses the conn. Base released it at the peer's next byte.RegisterConnon a worker that has shut down returns an error wrappingerrEngineShutdown, as the epoll engine and the drivers' standalone loop already do. The redis driver closes its fd whenRegisterConnfails.opFD, and it releases at once.TestDriverCloseBeforeUnregisterSparesReusedNumberrequires that.The contract (
engine/provider.go)fdmust still be open whenUnregisterConnis called. Closing it before is outside the contract, because the epoll engine removes by number.fdas soon asUnregisterConnreturns, without waiting foronClose. UntilonClosefires, the number stays registered on that worker (round 4). ClosingfdbeforeUnregisterConndoes not affect this engine.onClosebeforeUnregisterConnreturns. But a worker already inside the conn's read loop still readsfdby number afterwards, so a number reused at once can lose its first bytes to it. That is epoll: a driver conn's read loop reads the caller's descriptor number after UnregisterConn has returned, and drops the bytes of the file that took the number #710, filed in round 3 with a probe that fails 3/3.Who reaches this in-tree
Neither the io_uring nor the epoll WorkerLoop implements

closingfirst is what the contract needs: an unregistered conn getsonClose(nil)after its ops, whatever took the number. It leaves the refusal only for a caller that closedfdwithout unregistering, and then only on a re-arm or a register whose number an accept has taken. There a re-arm can still have a SEND in flight, so the refusal goes throughfailDriverConn, which waits for it.TestDriverRefusedRegisterWaitsForItsSendpins that half, and mC2 undoes it.Two tests changed with the contract they pin.
