Fixes #691.
Fixes #707.

The defect

UnregisterConn only queues the unregister. Later, the worker issues IORING_OP_ASYNC_CANCEL with IORING_ASYNC_CANCEL_FD|ALL, and the kernel resolves that descriptor number when the worker issues it. A caller that closes fd as soon as UnregisterConn returns, as every in-tree driver does, makes the cancel miss:

  • If nothing holds the number yet, the cancel gets -EBADF.
  • If the number was already reused, the cancel hits whatever socket now holds it, and that socket's RECV is cancelled.

The RECV already armed on the unregistered socket holds its own file reference, so it stays armed:

  • inflightOps never drains and onClose never fires.
  • hasDriverConns never clears.
  • The socket is never closed, so the peer never sees EOF until it sends a byte.

The RECV and SEND had the same exposure: armDriverRecv and flushDriverSend prepared 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. failDriverConn prepares 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). armDriverRecv checked for an HTTP conn on the number before it checked closing, 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, then Close at once), an accept on the worker can take the closed number before the worker applies that register. The refusal then:

The fix (engine/iouring/driver.go)

  • RegisterConn takes F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC of fd (lowest number 3), while fd is surely the caller's. That duplicate, dc.opFD, is the engine's own descriptor for the socket.

  • Every SQE of the conn names opFD, never fd: the RECV, the SEND, UnregisterConn's cancel and failDriverConn's cancel. fd stays the key of driverConns and of the user_data.

  • Every SQE of the conn is counted in inflightOps until its CQE, the two cancels included (round 3). A conn is finalized only when the count is zero. So no SQE naming opFD is submitted after finalizeDriver's retire closes it, and no CQE of a finalized conn arrives after it has left driverConns.

  • armDriverRecv checks closing before the number (round 4). An unregistered, failing or finalized conn is neither armed nor refused: its cancel finalizes it after every op in flight, with onClose(nil) after UnregisterConn. The refusal is now reachable only when the caller closed fd without unregistering, and it goes through failDriverConn: with nothing in flight it finalizes at once, as before; with ops in flight it issues a counted cancel and finalizes after the last CQE.

  • retire() closes opFD, once, on the two paths that remove a conn from the worker:

    • finalizeDriver: no SQE in flight, cancels included. The refusal ends here too, through failDriverConn.
    • shutdownDrivers: nothing is submitted after it, and closing the ring cancels what is armed.

    It also sets closing and retired. Every path that prepares an SQE checks closing first, and cancelDriverConn checks retired: an unregister queued behind a finalize issues nothing.

  • A close CQE is the conn's own only while one of its cancels is counted (dc.cancels, round 3). user_data carries the caller's number and no generation, so handleDriverClose ignores a close CQE that finds none, instead of closing the conn that now holds the number.

  • RegisterConn refuses once the worker has shut down. shutdownDrivers sets driversClosed under driverMu, the lock RegisterConn inserts under. RegisterConn then returns an error wrapping errEngineShutdown and closes the duplicate it took. A refused RegisterConn of any kind closes its duplicate.

Cost. One descriptor per registered driver conn, for its lifetime. One fcntl at register and one close at finalize. Two counter updates per cancel, on the worker. The per-op paths change only which number they name. Nothing is added to the per-request or per-loop-iteration path.

Lock order (the locking changes: driversClosed under driverMu; dc.mu in retire, cancelDriverConn, failDriverConn, handleDriverClose and armDriverRecv)

  • driverMu (RWMutex) guards driverConns and driversClosed. No other lock is taken, and no syscall is made, while it is held:
    • RegisterConn: the fcntl happens before the lock, and a refused duplicate is closed after the unlock.
    • shutdownDrivers: it sets the flag and swaps the map under one hold, and releases it before retire and the callbacks.
    • finalizeDriver releases it before retire and onClose.
    • The lookups in UnregisterConn, Write and the CQE handlers take RLock and release it before dc.mu.
  • dc.mu is a leaf. It is never held while driverMu or driverActionMu is taken, or while onRecv or onClose runs. Every path releases it before addDriverAction (the SQ-full retries, UnregisterConn, Write), before failDriverConn and before finalizeDriver. retire and cancelDriverConn take it alone.
  • Round 4 removes a lock and adds no nesting. armDriverRecv no longer takes driverMu: its refusal no longer deletes from the map itself. It reads w.conns, which only the worker goroutine writes and this is the worker goroutine, under dc.mu alone, together with closing and recvArmed, and releases dc.mu before it calls failDriverConn. failDriverConn takes dc.mu itself, and calls getCancelSQE (which can Submit) and finalizeDriver (driverMu) outside it, as it already did on the CQE error paths.
  • Round 3 added none either. cancelDriverConn checks retired, takes the SQE and counts the cancel under one hold of dc.mu. GetSQE takes no lock and makes no syscall. failDriverConn takes dc.mu again only to count. handleDriverClose holds dc.mu as before and releases it before finalizeDriver.
  • No nesting exists between these locks, so no cycle and no deadlock is possible.
  • The race the round-4 order leaves. An UnregisterConn can set closing after armDriverRecv has read it and before the refusal. Then failDriverConn either finalizes (nothing in flight), and the queued unregister finds retired and issues nothing, or counts a cancel, and the unregister's cancel is counted too. onClose then gets the refusal's error. Both are safe, and the refusal needs a caller that closed fd first.
  • The one syscall under dc.mu is retire's close(opFD), on the worker goroutine. While the caller still holds fd, it only drops a reference. When it is the last reference, it closes a non-blocking socket, which does not block unless the caller set SO_LINGER with a timeout. No in-tree driver does; one that did would now spend its linger on the worker.
  • The counters need no new lock. inflightOps and cancels change only on the worker goroutine, under dc.mu as before.
  • The shutdown refusal race. RegisterConn's check-and-insert and shutdownDrivers' flag-and-swap run under one driverMu hold each, so each register is ordered wholly before or after the shutdown. Before: the conn is in the map, and shutdownDrivers retires it. After: it is refused. TestDriverRegisterRacingShutdownReleasesEverySocket races 4 callers against the stop, under -race.

Behaviour changes

  • FIN timing. The socket closes when the worker finalizes the conn (retire closes opFD), not at the caller's close. In the same-batch case, where no RECV is armed yet, base closed at once. Now the peer's EOF waits for the worker, up to the length of a busy inline handler (round 1's busy probe held workers for 400 ms: tools/p7-busy.sh, tools/p8-afterstart.sh).
  • The number stays registered until onClose (round 4, documented in engine/provider.go and on UnregisterConn). Until the worker finalizes the conn, fd's number stays a key of that worker's driver map, so a RegisterConn there 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 after Close (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.
  • Cancels. A conn with a cancel in flight is finalized after that cancel's CQE. When the cancel's CQE was the last to arrive, onClose now fires one CQE later than before, typically in the next worker iteration.
  • A close CQE with no cancel counted is ignored. Before, it marked whatever conn held the number as closing (io_uring: a driver close CQE is looked up by descriptor number after its conn is finalized, and kills a new conn registered on the same number #707).
  • A register the worker applies after UnregisterConn is a no-op (round 4). Before, if an accept had taken the number, it refused the conn and fired onClose with "already an HTTP connection". Now the cancel finalizes it and onClose gets nil, as the contract says.
  • A refusal waits for the conn's ops (round 4). A caller that closed fd without unregistering, with an accept then taking the number, still gets the refusal's error in onClose, but only after the conn's SEND, if one is in flight, has completed or been cancelled.
  • Descriptors. Each registered driver conn holds one more descriptor. RegisterConn fails if the duplicate cannot be taken (EMFILE).
  • Close without unregister. A caller that closes fd without calling UnregisterConn (outside the contract) leaves the socket open, through opFD, 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.
  • After shutdown. RegisterConn on a worker that has shut down returns an error wrapping errEngineShutdown, as the epoll engine and the drivers' standalone loop already do. The redis driver closes its fd when RegisterConn fails.
  • Close before unregister (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's R2) is now harmless on this engine. The cancel still reaches the socket through opFD, and it releases at once. TestDriverCloseBeforeUnregisterSparesReusedNumber requires that.

The contract (engine/provider.go)

  • fd must still be open when UnregisterConn is called. Closing it before is outside the contract, because the epoll engine removes by number.
  • On the io_uring engine, the caller may close fd as soon as UnregisterConn returns, without waiting for onClose. Until onClose fires, the number stays registered on that worker (round 4). Closing fd before UnregisterConn does not affect this engine.
  • The epoll engine fires onClose before UnregisterConn returns. But a worker already inside the conn's read loop still reads fd by 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 WriteAndPoll. So with WithEngine(srv), postgres, memcached and redis command conns fall back to direct mode and never call RegisterConn. What does reach the engine:

  • redis Pub/Sub opened WithEngine(srv) with the client built after Start
  • any user of srv.EventLoopProvider().WorkerLoop(n)

Measured with the real redis driver (redis 7.2): 16 PubSubs, closed with the worker idle, or with every worker held in a 400 ms inline handler. The count is how many the server still lists 3 s after Close.

# finding action proof
1 (minor) armDriverRecv checked the number before closing and refused at once: within the contract, a re-arm queued as a register (SQ full) with a SEND in flight, then UnregisterConn, Close and an accept taking the number, removed the conn with its SEND in the kernel and gave onClose an error; with the unregister queued first, it closed opFD under a counted cancel. The retire comment and this body called the refusal register-only Fixed (22537fe): both suggested fixes, closing checked first, and the refusal through failDriverConn. Comments and this body corrected 3 new tests FAIL 3/3 at m8 and at m128 on 655adfc, the pushed head plus the tests (R1, r1-failfirst.sh): the conn left the worker with 1 op in flight, onClose had the refusal's error, and with the unregister first, V's RECV was cancelled. PASS 5/5 at both shapes on the fix (R2). mC1 (the old order) and mC2 (a refusal that does not wait) are each killed 3/3 (R3)

– Merging section Refreshed against #674's pushed head 1d90b5d (unchanged) "Merging" below

Why both fixes. closing first is what the contract needs: an unregistered conn gets onClose(nil) after its ops, whatever took the number. It leaves the refusal only for a caller that closed fd without 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 through failDriverConn, which waits for it. TestDriverRefusedRegisterWaitsForItsSend pins that half, and mC2 undoes it.

Two tests changed with the contract they pin.

  • TestDriverRefusedRegisterThenNumberReused: an unregister queued behind a refusal now needs an UnregisterConn racing the worker, from a caller that closed fd first. The test queues that unregister's action itself, so it still pins cancelDriverConn's retired return: mA9 is killed by it 3/3 (R3).
  • TestDriverUnregisterCyclesReleaseDescriptors: its refused cycle is now two, unregistered-then-taken (onClose(nil)) and refused (Close without UnregisterConn). The first FAILS 3/3 on 655adfc (R1), and mC1 fails it 3/3 (R3).

The stray-close guard. TestDriverStrayCloseCompletionSparesConn injects a close CQE, on the worker, for a conn with its RECV armed and no cancel issued. Round 3 said the guard covered the refusal path. With the refusal going through failDriverConn, no path of this engine removes a conn before its CQEs (shutdownDrivers aside, after which no CQE is processed). The guard is now defence in depth for #707's routing, and mB2 is killed by its test 3/3 (round 3's S3).

  • The round-4 tests make the review's state on the worker: the SQ-full re-arm is the addDriverAction(register) that armDriverRecv makes, queued from A's own onRecv; the accept is a w.conns entry, set on the worker, as the existing collision tests do; the racing UnregisterConn is a swap of the two queued actions. A SEND waits in the kernel because A writes 4 MiB to a peer that does not read; each test first checks that A has its RECV and SEND in flight.

  • The 8 driver tests already on main pass 5/5 in both shapes (R2).

… 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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

io_uring driver connections use engine-owned duplicate descriptors for I/O and cancellation. Cancellation completions are counted through finalization. Shutdown rejects new registrations and retires registered connections. Regression tests cover descriptor reuse, close ordering, and shutdown behavior.

Changes

io_uring driver lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Duplicate descriptors for driver I/O
engine/iouring/driver.go, engine/iouring/driver_unregister_close_test.go, engine/provider.go
Registration duplicates the caller’s descriptor, and driver I/O uses the duplicate. The API documentation describes descriptor handling. Tests cover close ordering, descriptor reuse, and queued I/O.
Cancellation and finalization
engine/iouring/driver.go, engine/iouring/driver_unregister_close_test.go
Cancellation operations are counted until their completions arrive. Finalization waits for in-flight operations and cancellations. Tests cover cancellation ordering, late completions, and descriptor retirement outside the connection lock.
Shutdown registration and retirement
engine/iouring/driver.go, engine/iouring/worker.go, engine/iouring/transplant.go, engine/iouring/wakefd_after_shutdown_test.go, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Shutdown rejects later registrations and retires registered connections. Tests check post-shutdown registration and descriptor behavior. CI runs the driver regression tests five times with the race detector.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 85f60

Socket retirement can pause other connections on the same worker, and a reused descriptor may register before the prior connection’s close callback. Resolve both lifecycle issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 85f60

The changes appear to reduce the risk of operations reaching a reused socket descriptor. They also alter a sensitive connection lifecycle, so shutdown and failure interleavings warrant design-level review; no new security issue was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The relevant exposure is descriptor reuse among connections handled by an io_uring worker, with possible effects on socket I/O and connection release. The reviewed change does not establish a new cross-service or privilege boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The caller retains responsibility for its original descriptor. The engine closes a refused duplicate, guards registration against shutdown under the registration lock, and closes an accepted duplicate during retirement.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A failure-path cancellation is counted when prepared; completion processing defers finalization while operations remain, and shutdown uses a separate ring-teardown path that retains connection buffers.

Review round 1 → round 2. Head 086d29b → d862e4f. Five commits, fast-forward: 2 failing-first test commits, 2 fixes, and 1 comment-only commit. All numbers are from evidence/celeris-691/lane-20260926/round2/, and each names its script.

finding outcome proof
1 (major): RegisterConn succeeded on a shut-down worker, and the duplicate UnregisterConn took there was never closed fixed (baa0959). shutdownDrivers sets driversClosed under driverMu, and RegisterConn refuses from then on with an error wrapping errEngineShutdown. TestDriverRegisterAfterShutdownIsRefused and TestDriverRegisterRacingShutdownReleasesEverySocket FAIL 3/3 at m8 and at m128 on 725ae72 = 086d29b + tests (Q1). They PASS 5/5 at both shapes on the fix (Q4). Mutants that drop the refusal (mA7), set the flag only when conns exist (mA8), or keep a refused register's descriptor (mA6) are killed (3/3 each, 0 SKIP, Q5b).
2 (minor): RECV and SEND are prepared by number and submitted later fixed (5975527), not deferred. Measured first: the reviewed head was worse than base here. Probe (Q2, 3 runs per arm): with the number reused by an unrelated socket X inside the window, 9f4d89b released A and left X's byte to X 3/3. 086d29b left A open and A's RECV read X's byte 3/3, because the cancel by duplicate no longer followed the number to X. The SEND variant writes A's bytes to X's peer on base too. Committed as TestDriverRecvRearmBeforeSubmitSparesReusedNumber (base PASS 3/3; 8ef1710 FAIL 3/3 at m8 and at m128) and TestDriverSendBeforeSubmitSparesReusedNumber (FAIL 3/3 on both) (Q3). The fix: RegisterConn takes the duplicate, and every SQE (RECV, SEND, both cancels) names it. Both tests PASS 5/5 at both shapes (Q4). Mutants mA1 (RECV by dc.fd) and mA2 (SEND by dc.fd) are killed 3/3.
3 (minor): no lock-order argument added to the body ("Lock order") Round 2 adds no lock nesting, and it moves the fcntl/fstat out of UnregisterConn's dc.mu
4 (nit): Merging stale refreshed git merge-tree against #674's 1d90b5d is clean. The only shared files are ci.yml and worker.go, with hunks 100+ lines apart (OVERLAP2.txt). Merged locally onto 1d90b5d, never pushed (Q11): the 21 driver tests PASS 63/63 at m8 and at m128. The full package at m8 has 0 FAIL.
5 (nit): "a few percent" fixed: cites #691's 2 of 7 ci.yml
6 (nit): transplant.go comment fixed
7 (nit): Stat_t.Dev on mips fixed by removal: no fstat any more builds for linux/mips, mipsle, mips64, mips64le and 8 more arches (logs/q10-vet-crossbuild.txt)
8 (nit): duplicate on fd 0-2 fixed: F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC with lowest number 3
9 (nit): FIN timing stated in the body ("Behaviour changes")
10 (nit): scripts not named fixed: every number in the body names its script

Other results at this head:

  • 21 driver tests x5: 105 PASS, 0 FAIL, 0 SKIP at m8 and at m128 (Q4).
  • Full ./engine/iouring: 0 FAIL. PASS 293+293 with 5+5 memlock skips (CI: with io_uring unavailable, 16 ./adaptive tests skip and the adaptive job passes even under CELERIS_REQUIRE_UPSWITCH=1 #684 class) at m8, and 298+298 at m128. The 13 new tests are the only difference from base (Q6).
  • ./engine 15/15 and ./adaptive's driver tests 6/6 (Q7).
  • The redis Pub/Sub probe, built after Start: 0 of 16 left open, idle and busy, in all 4 runs. The base control left 16 and 16 (Q8).
  • CI: run 36282878501, 9 of 9 jobs green. The celeris#691 step shows 105 PASS, which is 21 tests x5, with 0 FAIL and 0 SKIP, counted from the raw job log at memlock 8 MiB.

New, filed as #707 (pre-existing, unchanged here): failDriverConn's close CQE is looked up by number after the conn is finalized, and it kills a new conn registered on the same number. The probe fails 3/3 on both 9f4d89b and this head (Q9).

CodeRabbit posted no review: the PR is a draft ("Review skipped"). There are no inline threads to resolve.

… 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).

Review round 2 → round 3. Head d862e4f → 20ec7aa, fast-forward, three commits: 3af7d74 failing-first tests, 443b629 the fix, 20ec7aa docs and CI. All numbers are from evidence/celeris-691/lane-20260926/round3/ (MANIFEST.txt; scripts in tools/, logs in logs/).

finding outcome proof
1 (minor): failDriverConn's cancel is uncounted, so its SQE can name a number the engine has closed; the body's claim was false Fixed (443b629). #707's option (1) is landed here: every cancel, failDriverConn's and cancelDriverConn's, is counted in inflightOps until its CQE. So the conn is finalized, and opFD closed, only after every cancel has completed. This also fixes #707 (Fixes #707 is added to the body). The body's claim now holds. TestDriverFailureCancelCompletesBeforeRelease FAILS 3/3 at m8 and m128 on 3af7d74 (S1) and PASSES 5/5 at both shapes on the fix (S2). mB1, which restores the uncounted cancel, is killed by it 3/3 (S3).
1, the "not blocking, FIFO" note Disputed. A dup is not a newly opened file. It takes the lowest free number, and a dup of a socket with ops already armed on this ring is that socket to the cancel. The test above does exactly that from A's onClose. On the pushed head, the stale cancel cancelled V's armed RECV, 3/3 at both shapes (S1).
2 (minor): the retired return is unpinned Pinned. TestDriverRefusedRegisterThenNumberReused now dup3's V's armed socket onto the refused conn's engine number from its onClose. mA9 (the return deleted) is killed 3/3 (S3). The suggested form, a new driver conn on a.fd, cannot coexist with the refusal: RegisterConn refuses a number that w.conns holds (driver.go:197, :218). And since round 3 a close CQE with no cancel counted is ignored, so such a conn would survive mA9.
3 (minor) and nit 2: the #655 test cannot fail Fixed. After shutdown the test now calls addDriverAction itself, and it asserts RegisterConn's errEngineShutdown. mW (WakeFD.Close keeps the number live): the round-2 test PASSES 3/3 on d862e4f+mW, and the round-3 test FAILS 3/3 on 443b629+mW (S3). mA7 (no refusal) also fails it 3/3 (S3b).
nit 1: the epoll contract Scoped to io_uring in engine/provider.go. Filed #710 (bug, engine/epoll, v1.6.0). A probe fails 3/3: after UnregisterConn returned, the epoll worker read and dropped the bytes of the socket that took the number (S4).
nit 3: the failing-first cell for CloseBefore Measured and corrected. The current test FAILS 3/3 on 8ef1710 (A is never released) and FAILS 3/3 on 9f4d89b (the reuser's RECV is cancelled and A is never released) (S8).
nit 4 (the text reached me cut off after "Fix-round item 10 cl") Addressed as far as I can read it: item 10 was "numbers named no script". Every number in the body now names the script or log that produced it. If the rest of that nit asked for something else, please repost it.
#674 Merging Refreshed. 1d90b5d is unchanged. merge-tree is clean against every open head (#671 is now 371c76a). Local merge onto 1d90b5d, never pushed (S6): 75/75 at m8 and at m128, and the full package at m8 gives 313 PASS, 0 FAIL, 5 SKIP (3 from #684, 2 from #674's synack tests).

New: a close CQE that finds no cancel counted is now ignored (dc.cancels), where before it closed whatever conn held the number. TestDriverStrayCloseCompletionSparesConn FAILS 3/3 at both shapes on 3af7d74 (S1), and mB2 is killed by it 3/3 (S3). #707's own probe is committed as TestDriverFailureCloseCompletionSparesConnOnReusedNumber: it FAILS 3/3 at both shapes on 3af7d74 (S1) and PASSES 5/5 on the fix (S2).

Lock order (RULE 10) is in the body. The change adds no nesting. dc.mu stays a leaf. getCancelSQE, which can submit, runs outside dc.mu.

Suites and CI

  • Full ./engine/iouring on 20ec7aa (S5): m8 PASS 296+296 with SKIP 5+5 (the CI: with io_uring unavailable, 16 ./adaptive tests skip and the adaptive job passes even under CELERIS_REQUIRE_UPSWITCH=1 #684 class, as on base); m128 PASS 301+301, 0 SKIP; 0 FAIL. Only the 3 new tests differ from round 2 (S5-DIFF.txt).
  • ./engine: 15 PASS. ./adaptive driver tests: 6 PASS.
  • The real redis Pub/Sub probe on 20ec7aa (S9): 0 of 16 left after Close, idle and busy, in 4 of 4 runs.
  • 12 of 12 mutants and mW are killed in runs with 0 SKIP (S3, with S3b re-running at m128 the ones another lane's io_uring container had starved).
  • CI run 36286406088: 9 of 9 green. The celeris#691 step shows 120 PASS = 24 × 5, with 0 FAIL and 0 SKIP at memlock 8 MiB, counted from the raw log.
  • CodeRabbit skipped the draft, so it left no inline findings to handle.

Review round 3 → round 4. Head 20ec7aa → 4779076, fast-forward, three commits: 655adfc failing-first tests, 22537fe the fix, 4779076 docs and the CI step. Evidence: evidence/celeris-691/lane-20260926/round4/MANIFEST.txt. R1-R9 below are round 4's evidence phases.

Finding 1 (minor): armDriverRecv checked the number before closing and refused at once → fixed, with both suggested fixes.

  • Verified at 20ec7aa first. The refusal at driver.go:359-375 ran before the closing check, and a SQ-full re-arm came back to it as a register. The review's sequence is reachable within the contract, and so is its contrived variant.
  • The fix is in 22537fe. armDriverRecv now checks closing (and recvArmed) first, under dc.mu. An unregistered conn is neither armed nor refused: its cancel finalizes it after every op, with onClose(nil).
  • The refusal is now reachable only when the caller closed fd without unregistering. It goes through failDriverConn, which waits for any op in flight.
  • armDriverRecv no longer takes driverMu. The body's Lock order section has the argument: no nesting is added, and the race that remains is safe.
  • The retire, retired and handleDriverClose comments are corrected. So are the body's fix list and its stray-close paragraph. With the refusal waiting, no path of this engine removes a conn before its CQEs, so the stray-close guard is now defence in depth.
  • Proof, failing first. The three new tests FAIL 3/3 at m8 and at m128 on 655adfc, which is the pushed head plus the tests (R1, r1-failfirst.sh):
  • Proof, on the fix. All three PASS 5/5 at both shapes (R2).
  • Proof, mutants. Two one-line mutants each re-introduce one half of the defect (R3, m128, 0 SKIP):
    • mC1 restores the old order. It is killed by the first two tests and by Cycles, 3/3 each.
    • mC2 finalizes at once instead of going through failDriverConn. It is killed by RefusedRegisterWaitsForItsSend 3/3.
  • Two tests changed with the contract they pin:
    • TestDriverRefusedRegisterThenNumberReused now queues the racing unregister's action itself. It still kills mA9 3/3 (R3), and it passes on the pushed head (R1).
    • TestDriverUnregisterCyclesReleaseDescriptors splits its refused cycle. The new unregistered-then-taken cycle FAILS 3/3 on 655adfc (R1).

Nit: the number stays a key of the driver map until onClose → documented. The text is in engine/provider.go, on UnregisterConn, and under the body's Behaviour changes. The body also covers the redis reconnect case and why the key is not freed at UnregisterConn: that needs a generation in user_data.

Nit: S5's skip wording → corrected.

  • 3 of the 5 are the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK pre-check, at init_failure_leak_linux_test.go:258, :271 and :286.
  • 2 are io_uring_setup ENOMEM, at listen_addr_linux_test.go:68 and :117.
  • r5-diff.py now prints each skip's own message, for round 3's S5 and round 4's R5 (R5-DIFF.txt). The classes are identical in both rounds.

Nit: the S7 toolchain → stated.

  • R7 (r7-vet-crossbuild.sh) records in its first line that it ran on go1.27.1 darwin/arm64 with golangci-lint 2.13.2.
  • The body now says so, and cites CI's Lint job at this head (go1.27.0 linux/amd64, golangci-lint v2.13.2, success) as the 1.27.0 evidence.

Merging → refreshed.

…teps after a red step, and tally the new tests (celeris#662)

* The adaptive job's quarantine of TestRampH1Sync and TestRampH1Async
  named celeris#662 and #657; #657 is closed and this PR closes #662, and
  the workflow's rule is one open issue per quarantine. celeris#708 now
  owns it: what the lift takes (>= 6 GitHub-hosted runs of identical
  bytes) and the evidence so far. The comment no longer carries this
  branch's history.

* The celeris#657 witness step, the celeris#662 linger step and the
  synack=0 step run `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}`, so a red engine/iouring step
  (celeris#691, pre-existing on main until PR #696) cannot hide whether
  they pass.

* The linger step's tally adds TestPauseAcceptWaitIsWoken (both engines);
  the adaptive tally adds TestAdaptiveSwitchVsAcceptChurnDefaultLinger and
  TestSwitchAbortedByADriverDrainsTheFreshStandby.

🟠 Major · Move opFD closure off the worker goroutine. · driver.go:96-115

engine/iouring/driver.go:96-115
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Move opFD closure off the worker goroutine.

Worker.run processes the worker's CQEs and actions on one goroutine. UnregisterConn can reach finalizeDriver, and shutdown calls retire directly. With pending output and positive SO_LINGER, unix.Close(dc.opFD) can wait for the linger timeout. The worker cannot process unrelated connections during that wait.

Use a shutdown-aware non-worker closer. Keep ownership of opFD until that closer executes unix.Close, and wait for pending closes during shutdown.

🟡 Minor · Retain the FD reservation through onClose. · driver.go:710-721

engine/iouring/driver.go:710-721
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Retain the FD reservation through onClose.

After delete(w.driverConns, dc.fd) and unlocking driverMu, another goroutine can reuse the FD number and make RegisterConn succeed before onClose runs. This violates the documented reservation contract. Keep the map entry during retire and onClose, then remove it in a deferred cleanup without holding driverMu while user code runs. Same-FD callback reentrance remains rejected as required by the callback contract.

Suggested fix
-	delete(w.driverConns, dc.fd)
-	if len(w.driverConns) == 0 {
-		w.hasDriverConns.Store(false)
-	}
 	w.driverMu.Unlock()

+	defer func() {
+		w.driverMu.Lock()
+		if existing, ok := w.driverConns[dc.fd]; ok && existing == dc {
+			delete(w.driverConns, dc.fd)
+			if len(w.driverConns) == 0 {
+				w.hasDriverConns.Store(false)
+			}
+		}
+		w.driverMu.Unlock()
+	}()

 	dc.retire()

CodeRabbit's two outside-diff comments on 85f60f3: the major (the engine's close of opFD runs on the worker and can linger under SO_LINGER) was measured and is #735 (v1.6.0), as replied in the retire thread. The minor (the number leaves the driver map before onClose, while engine/provider.go says it stays registered until then) is verified at 85f60f3 and tracked in #726, item 4, under the maintainer's 2-round review cap.

… and fire onClose after the close (celeris#735) (#744)

celeris#735: since #696 the io_uring worker closed a driver conn's engine duplicate (opFD) itself; with SO_LINGER and unsent data to a non-reading peer, close(2) blocked the LockOSThread'd worker, and every conn on its ring, for the whole linger.
Fix: driverConn.retire only marks the conn gone; finalizeDriver hands the close to a goroutine (closeOpFD) that then queues onClose for the worker (driverActionClosed), so onClose still follows the close and runs on the worker; Worker.shutdown waits for handed-off closes (waitDriverCloses) and fires the onClose each is owed.
Failing-first on main plus the tests only (Docker arm64, -race -count=5): linger arm FAIL 5/5 in both memlock shapes (V's byte to onRecv 2899-2964 ms), no-linger control PASS 5/5; with the fix 0.020-0.160 ms, 50/50 PASS per shape at -count=10, 0 races.
Controls at 2948301 (-race -count=5, m8): L0, X1, X1L0, X2 and M3 all FAIL 5/5; round-1 NEG, M2 and M3 killed 3/3. ./engine/iouring -race: 322 PASS/0 FAIL/5 SKIP (m8), 325/0/2 (unl); CI run 36356340694 green on the first attempt.
Merged main ab67b84 (#745) cleanly; the merge tree builds, vets and compiles its tests for GOOS=linux amd64 and arm64.
Follow-ups, including CodeRabbit's minor on the shutdown test's 200 ms sleep: #763. The bare-metal cluster stress row (queue row 31) stays queued.
Fixes #735
