Problem

• A TLS socket whose graceful close starts while its reads are paused never closes: no close, and the fd stays open until exit. Reached by the Bun.serve({ tls }) idle timeout after an unread request body (req.signal never aborts), and by pause(); end() on a Bun.listen or Bun.connect socket.
• us_internal_ssl_close(s, 0) (packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:2112) sends close_notify and keeps the fd until it reads the peer's reply. A paused socket does not read, and end() detaches the JS socket, so resume() cannot help.

Fix

• When us_internal_ssl_close defers for the peer's reply, it calls us_socket_resume. The close is the owner's last word, and only a read can complete it.
• Verified: five new tests in test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, one in serve.test.ts. Also the node:tls and fetch suites.
• Self-reviewed: a broader design (refuse us_socket_pause during the wait, resume behind unsent ciphertext) was dropped. It broke pause() after end() and let Bun.serve read a whole upload after its timeout.

Background

• Close code 0 on a TLS socket is the graceful close: close_notify, then wait for the peer's reply before close(2).
• Bun.serve pauses a connection with 1 MB of unread request body.

Downsides

• After pause(); end();, data that the peer still sends reaches data, and end fires, as after end() alone.
• Not fixed: a peer that never answers the close_notify keeps the fd after an idle timeout.
• One more call in a close that defers. No new syscall for a socket that never pauses.

Notes

What breaks, release 1.4.3-canary.1 (367d939) and this PR on a debug build of main faac63e:

                                                       before                       this PR
pause(); end()                  Bun.listen socket      never closes                 closes
pause(); end()                  Bun.connect socket     never closes                 closes
pause(); [Symbol.dispose]()                            never closes                 closes
pause(); write until short; end()                      never closes                 closes, peer gets every byte
Bun.serve({ tls }) idle timeout, unread request body   2 fds left, no abort         closes, req.signal aborts

The six new tests are these rows. All fail on the release build and on a debug build of main (4b02e10), and pass with the change.

Bun.serve probe: idleTimeout: 1, the handler never reads the body and never answers, a Bun.connect client sends 7.5 MB of a 100 MB body. Before: the server's fd and the client's fd are both still open 12 s later, and req.signal never aborts. The client's own close waits behind ciphertext that the paused server never reads. With the PR: the client closes after 4.0 s, req.signal aborts, and 0 fds are left.

epoll_ctl calls on the accepted fd, from an LD_PRELOAD interposer (strace is not installed here):

                      before                                   this PR
end()                 ADD IN; DEL                              ADD IN; DEL
pause(); end()        ADD IN; MOD OUT; MOD ERR|HUP (no close)  ADD IN; MOD OUT; MOD IN; DEL

For a paused socket the MOD IN takes the place of the MOD ERR|HUP that the writable dispatch made, and the DEL is the close. A socket that never pauses makes the same two calls. us_socket_resume returns after its first test when is_paused is not set.

The paused flag of the JS socket. NewSocket keeps its own IS_PAUSED bit so that pause() and resume() are idempotent. This PR leaves it set after pause(); end();, because the caller never called resume(). A pause() from a later data callback is then a no-op (it makes no epoll_ctl call), so a handler that pauses on every chunk cannot switch the reads off again under the close. An earlier push of this PR cleared the bit to match the native socket. Review showed that the clear made such a later pause() take effect again (the first two rows of the table below), so it was removed.

Behaviour after end(), unchanged by this PR. After end(), a TLS Bun.listen socket still delivers data and end if the peer sends more, because the native data dispatch attaches the JS socket again. What a pause() from that data callback does depends on whether the socket has a drain handler:

                                                           no `drain` handler      with a `drain` handler
end(); more data arrives; pause(); peer ends; no resume()  stays open              closes at the first late chunk, no `end`
end(); more data arrives; pause(); peer ends; resume()     closes, `end` fires     closes at the first late chunk, no `end`
pause(); end(); more data arrives; pause(); peer ends
                                                   before  stays open, no `data`   stays open, no `data`
                                                  this PR  closes, `end` fires     closes, `end` fires

The first two rows are the same on release 367d939 and on a debug build of this PR. Each cell is 12 runs or more on each build. The peers are node and Bun, each in its own process, with 1 KiB and 1 MiB of late data. The third row is 0 of 24 runs before and 24 of 24 with this PR, and the 1 MiB arrives whole.

Without a drain handler, pause() and resume() are flow control. With one, the late pause() closes the connection. us_socket_pause arms the writable poll (packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c:841). NewSocket::on_writable (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:937) returns early when the socket has no drain handler. If it has one, on_writable calls internal_flush, which runs the end a second time. The second close finds close_notify already sent and closes the fd at once, without the peer's reply. A node peer that still sends got ECONNRESET or EPIPE in 2 of 18 runs with 1 MiB, and ECONNRESET in the one run with 8 MiB. The call that this PR adds is not on that path.

What changes is the first state only: a pause that was in place when end() ran is lifted, so after pause(); end(); the socket behaves as after end() alone. An earlier version of this table had the first column only and did not say so.

The broader design that was dropped. A design review picked a larger change: one bit that marks a close which waits, set at the tail and where the close waits behind unsent ciphertext, with us_socket_pause refusing while it is set and returning whether the reads are off. It was built and it passed its tests. A review of that diff found two regressions against main:

• The refusal turns pause() after end() into a no-op. In my probe a handler that pauses after end() got 8,323,072 of 8,388,608 bytes in 18 data callbacks while it was paused. Main delivers none until resume() (a socket with no drain handler).
• The resume behind unsent ciphertext runs while the HTTP layer still takes data, because close_notify is not sent yet. After the Bun.serve idle timeout fired on a peer that does not read its response, the server read the peer's whole request body. The review measured 120 MB against 9 MB on main. I did not run that probe again after the design was dropped.

At the tail neither happens: close_notify is sent, the uWS HTTP layer drops data on a shut-down socket, and a Bun.listen socket is detached.

Open question. Is it intended that a TLS Bun.listen socket still delivers data and end after end()? A plain TCP socket closes at once and delivers nothing. This PR does not change that.

Found on the way, not in this PR

• Bun.serve({ tls }): a peer that gets the close_notify of an idle timeout and does not answer keeps the connection. req.signal does not abort and the fd stays (2 fds left in the probe, before and after this PR). The comment on HttpContext::onTimeout says "Force close", and the close is graceful.
• end(), more data arrives, then flush() or a writable event on a socket with a drain handler: internal_flush runs the end a second time, and the second close finds close_notify already sent and closes the fd at once, without the peer's reply. The table above shows the writable event.
• WebSocket client ws.pause(); ws.close() leaves 1 fd open on ws:// and 2 on wss://. WebSocket client: resume a paused socket when the connection closes #42974 is open for it.

Suites, debug+ASAN build of this PR: socket.test.ts, socket-syscall-fault.test.ts, tcp-server.test.ts, node-tls-server.test.ts, node-tls-connect.test.ts, node-tls-socket-allow-half-open-option.test.ts, renegotiation.test.ts, fetch.tls.test.ts, fetch-backpressure.test.ts, websocket-client.test.ts, bun-server.test.ts, serve.test.ts, node-http-backpressure.test.ts, node-http-req-socket-pause.test.ts. Failures that do not come from this change: socket.test.ts "should not call drain before handshake" (needs DNS), serve.test.ts "only serves /bun:info to loopback clients in development mode" and "should use correct error when using a root range port(#7187)" (both fail on a build of main in this container), and node-tls-server.test.ts "delivers the whole stream when destroySoon follows end" (128 MB through TLS, over the 5 s limit on a loaded debug build, with and without the change). The suites ran on the first push of this version. After the paused-flag clear was removed, the six new tests and the probes ran again.

History. The first version of this PR was the three lines in openssl.c. Its description said that data which arrives after end() is dropped. That was wrong: data and end still fire, as the tables show.

The report came from a fuzz run. The script answers ping with s.write("pong"), then s.pause(); s.end();, then setTimeout(() => s.resume(), 50), and the client closes when it gets the reply. Result on 1.4.2, canary d316760 and main 6b394bf (ASAN), 10 of 10 runs:

{"TLS":true,"ORDER":"pause-end","RESUME":50,"clientsClosed":50,"open":50,"close":0,"stillOpen":50,"fds":50}
{"TLS":true,"ORDER":"end-pause","RESUME":50,"clientsClosed":50,"open":50,"close":50,"stillOpen":0,"fds":0}
{"TLS":false,"ORDER":"pause-end","RESUME":50,"clientsClosed":50,"open":50,"close":50,"stillOpen":0,"fds":0}

strace from the report, one connection: pause() is epoll_ctl(MOD, fd, EPOLLOUT). end() writes the 24-byte close_notify, then epoll_ctl(MOD, fd, EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP). resume() makes no epoll_ctl at all, because end() detached the JS socket. The graceful close sends no FIN of its own, so the peer's FIN alone does not raise EPOLLHUP, and nothing wakes the socket.

Why not close the fd at once when the socket is paused: close(2) with unread data in the receive queue sends an RST, and an RST can discard the reply that the peer has not read yet. The wait for the peer exists to prevent that.

Why node:tls is not affected: its end() is the half-close (us_internal_ssl_shutdown: close_notify and FIN), the socket stays attached, and resume() works. node:net never calls the native end().

Walkthrough

TLS shutdown handling now resumes sockets to receive peer shutdown replies and clears the paused flag before normal closure. New regression tests cover paused TLS shutdowns, queued ciphertext delivery, and closure after an idle timeout with an unread request body.

Changes

TLS shutdown and closure

Layer / File(s)	Summary
TLS close handling packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs	Deferred clean shutdown resumes the socket so it can read the peer’s shutdown reply. Normal close clears IS_PAUSED.
Paused TLS socket shutdown tests test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts	Tests cover server and client shutdown while paused, Symbol.dispose(), and receipt of all bytes written before shutdown.
TLS idle-timeout test test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts	Tests that an unread request body triggers the abort signal and client connection closure within 15 seconds.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Priority: ⬆️ High

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e420

The change makes paused TLS sockets close once a graceful shutdown completes. The remaining issue is a test-only style nit, so merge risk is low. A later pause from a data callback can still leave a socket open, which the PR already documents as a limitation.

Status

• Reproduced on release 1.4.3-canary.1 (367d939) and on a debug build of main: a TLS socket whose graceful close starts while its reads are paused never closes. On Bun.listen and Bun.connect that is pause(); end(). On Bun.serve({ tls }) it is the idle timeout on a connection with an unread request body: 2 fds stay open and req.signal never aborts.
• With this PR the six new tests pass (test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts). They fail without it.
• This version is the narrow fix: us_socket_resume where the close starts to wait. A broader design was built and dropped after review. The description says why.
• Not fixed here: a peer that never answers the close_notify after an idle timeout (a separate fix is in work). WebSocket client pause(); close() is WebSocket client: resume a paused socket when the connection closes #42974.
• The first finding from the same report is merged: usockets: keep a socket paused when the TLS handshake queue drains it #42351.

[claude]

LGTM — minimal, correctly-placed fix at the layer that owns the deferred wait.

What was reviewed:

• us_socket_resume is a no-op when !is_paused, so the added call is inert on the common path; it also guards is_closed and raw-closes on a failed re-registration, so no new hang is introduced.
• Checked the non-TLS sibling: plain end() sends FIN and doesn't defer on a read, so no equivalent fix is needed there (matches the PR's control run).
• Test follows harness conventions — port: 0, using, Promise.withResolvers() awaiting the actual close events, failure events wired to reject on the client, describe.concurrent.each over both peer-reply shapes.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

One code line added to packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c in us_internal_ssl_close: when a graceful TLS close (code 0) sends close_notify and defers the raw close until the peer's reply is read, call us_socket_resume(s) so a socket that was paused at the time of end() re-arms its readable poll. Without it, the JS wrapper is already detached by end(), nothing can resume the socket, and it never observes the peer's close_notify/FIN — leaking the fd and never firing close. A parametrized test in test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts covers both peer replies (end() → close_notify+FIN, close() → FIN alone).

Security risks

None. This re-enables reads on a socket whose owner has already issued its final close; any data arriving ahead of the reply is dropped exactly as it would be for an unpaused end(). No new input parsing, no auth/crypto surface change.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The native change is a single call to an existing, idempotent helper (us_socket_resume early-returns when !is_paused, guards is_closed, and raw-closes on a failed us_poll_change), placed exactly where the deferred wait begins. The fix is at the shared TLS layer above the epoll/kqueue/libuv backends, so it applies uniformly. The non-SSL sibling was checked: plain TCP end() does not defer on a read, and the PR's own control (TLS:false, pause-end) confirms it already closes.

Other factors

The test is added to the existing module file, uses port: 0, using for cleanup, describe.concurrent.each for the two peer-reply variants, and awaits real close events via Promise.withResolvers() with error/connectError wired to reject — no sleeps or timeouts. No CODEOWNERS entry covers either changed path. The PR description includes strace evidence and a mechanism-level explanation (why end(); pause() and node:tls don't hit it, why not close immediately), and the hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new us_socket_resume(s) call in us_internal_ssl_close for use-after-free: ssl_handle_shutdown returning 0 runs no user callbacks (only SSL_shutdown and the BIO write), so s is still live, and if us_poll_change fails inside resume the raw close only unlinks the socket into the loop's closed list, so return s stays valid for the rest of the iteration.

Extended reasoning...

The diff adds a resume on the deferred TLS graceful-close path in packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c and clears the JS-side IS_PAUSED flag in src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs, plus tests in serve.test.ts and socket.test.ts. It touches the TLS close path but no auth, crypto parameter, or input-parsing surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the re-entrancy check that was examined and ruled out.

Superseded by #44618, which consolidates the open TLS pull requests. This fix and its tests are in there, either as written, rewritten smaller, or merged with the other PRs that patched the same cause (see the "By area" list in that PR). Closing in favor of it.
