usockets: do not act on a peer reset while a node:net TCP socket does not read by robobun · Pull Request #43705 · oven-sh/bun

robobun · 2026-09-21T19:22:32Z

Problem

A net.Socket that does not read loses the bytes that arrived before a peer reset: 'data' bytes 0 of 20000 | error:ECONNRESET bytesRead=20000. Node delivers them, then the error.
Cause: us_internal_dispatch_ready_poll (packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c) acts on the error event. It drains the fd (drain_for_error, usockets: drain the receive queue before closing on a peer reset #39860) and closes, so net.ts destroys the stream over the unread bytes.

Fix

New per-socket bit defer_error_until_read, set for the node:net handler tables. While such a TCP socket neither reads nor has a write pending, the dispatcher leaves an error event alone, like libuv.
resume() or a write then meets the bytes and the errno. A TLS socket keeps the terminal error until its write reports a rejected send() (tls: report a rejected send() as a write error instead of a clean close #42336).
Verified: node-net.test.ts (9 tests) and node-tls-server.test.ts (1 test) fail on 1.4.3 and pass here. Self-reviewed: verdict rework. 4 concerns addressed, 2 need a ruling (Notes).

Background

Reads stop at the highWaterMark or on pause() in 'connect'. libuv does not poll such a handle.
epoll reports EPOLLERR whatever the mask says, so the fd leaves epoll (us_poll_stop).
The usockets: drain the receive queue before closing on a peer reset #39860 review named this model, and asked for one rule with no per-socket state. The bit exists because Bun.serve, the node:http server and Bun.connect still need the terminal error.

Downsides

A net.Socket that does not read gets no 'error' for a reset, and keeps its fd, until it reads or writes. Node does the same. This reverses usockets: drain the receive queue before closing on a peer reset #39860 for these sockets.
Not fixed: TLS sockets, node:http server req.pause(), Windows.
Cost: none on events without an error. us_socket_t stays 80 bytes.

Notes

Needs a ruling. The review of #39860 (Jarred-Sumner, 2026-08-21) described this model for every paused socket: "not reading and (eof || error) → park (us_poll_stop on epoll ...). resume() re-adds". It also said that "nothing per-socket needs to select it" and that the fix "should remove state from us_socket_t rather than add another bit". The version that merged kept the terminal error because of three things, and "each of those would need its own change": owners that pause with their timeout zeroed (Bun.serve / node:http body backpressure), write paths that swallow ECONNRESET, and a send() after the reset that consumes the socket error. For a plain node:net socket the last two hold on main already: a rejected send fails the write (#32488). So this PR turns the model on for those sockets only, and that takes a selector. The alternatives that I see: (a) change the other owners first, then apply one rule with no bit. (b) Select by the socket kind, which also changes a paused Bun.connect socket, a contract that test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts pins. (c) This bit, as the list of owners that are ready. I do not know which one is wanted.

Repro (runs on node as the reference):

import net from "node:net";
const srv = net.createServer(c => { c.on("error", () => {});
  c.once("data", () => { c.write("M".repeat(20000)); setTimeout(() => c.resetAndDestroy(), 30); }); });
srv.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => { let bytes = 0; const ev = [];
  const s = net.connect(srv.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () => { s.pause(); s.write("hi");
    setTimeout(() => { ev.push("resume"); s.on("data", d => (bytes += d.length)); s.resume(); }, 150); });
  s.on("error", e => ev.push("error:" + e.code));
  s.on("close", () => { console.log("'data' bytes", bytes, "of 20000 |", ev.join(" ")); srv.close(); }); });

1.4.3-canary: 'data' bytes 0 of 20000 | error:ECONNRESET resume. Node v26.3.0 and this branch: 'data' bytes 20000 of 20000 | resume error:ECONNRESET.
node:http over plain TCP loses a paused response the same way (http.get, res.pause(), 300,000 bytes: canary 0 bytes and two errors, this branch and node deliver what arrived).
FIN, then a reset 30 ms later (the peer does c.end(data)): canary data bytes 0 of 3000 | error:EPIPE | close:true. Node and this branch: 3000 of 3000 | resume | end | close:false, for a client and for an accepted socket, also when the socket allows half-open and calls end() or write() after 'end' (write EPIPE, as in node).
Shared connection (keepOpen): canary gives the receiver a clean 'end' in 14 of 20 runs, and in 2 of those the sender's paused copy also took the 1,000 bytes. Node and this branch: the receiver gets ECONNRESET after 1,000 bytes in every run, the sender's copy gets no event.
A paused socket that a child process received with subprocess.send(msg, socket): 200,000 of 200,000 bytes, then ECONNRESET (canary 0, node 195,557).
net.createServer({ pauseOnConnect: true }), the client writes N bytes and resets, the server resumes 50 ms later: node and this branch deliver every byte at N = 1, 20,000 and 126,892, then ECONNRESET. The canary delivers 0 bytes at each size.

Per shape: the peer writes N bytes and resets 30 ms after its write callback, the consumer calls pause() and attaches 'data' + resume() at 200 ms. Bytes that reached 'data' before the error (node / canary / this branch). Measured on an earlier head. The dispatcher code for a plain socket is the same at this head.

shape	N = 20,000	N = 300,000
net client, `pause()` before connect	20,000 / 0 / 20,000	128,000 / 0 / 223,232
net client, `pause()` in the `'connect'` listener	20,000 / 0 / 20,000	128,000 / 0 / 128,000
net client, `pause()` 5 ms after connect	0 / 0 / 0	195,584 / 0 / 196,608
net accepted socket	0 / 0 / 0	195,557 / 0 / 196,446
http client, `res.pause()`	20,000 + `'end'` on all three	290,773 / 0 / 256,981
http server, `req.pause()`	0 / 0 / 0	195,505 / 0 / 0

Every 0 cell is error:ECONNRESET close resume (the error comes while paused), every other cell is resume error:ECONNRESET close. At 20,000 bytes node's handle still reads in three of these shapes, so node drops the buffer there too, and so does this branch. The counts at 300,000 are what the kernel had taken when the reset came (the peer's reset discards what it had not sent). The http server row is not covered: the node:http server is not built on these sockets. A TLS socket gives the canary's numbers on this branch. At 20,000 bytes that is also node's result (its TLS layer still reads, meets the reset and drops the buffer). At 300,000 bytes node delivers what it had read.

Other states of a plain socket, each checked on node, the canary and this branch:

state when the reset arrives	node	this branch
reads stopped, consumer never reads	no event	same
reads stopped, then `write()`	`write ECONNRESET`	same (`socket.readableLength` is 0 on both: the bytes are still in the kernel)
`'readable'` + `read()`, `for await`, `read(n)` for more than arrived	data, then error	same
`onread` socket, paused or after a `false` return	callback gets the bytes, then error	same
`pipe()` to a slow Writable	loses what is buffered when node meets the error	same rule, larger reads
reads stopped and a write pending	`write ECONNRESET` on the write and the socket, the buffer is dropped	unchanged from main: `read ECONNRESET`, the buffer is dropped

The error drain also stops when on_data pauses the socket again, as libuv's read loop stops at uv_read_stop(). Without that a slow consumer would get the whole kernel queue pushed at once and lose it at the error.
TLS is left out on purpose. A socket that leaves the reset in the kernel learns of it from its next write. A plain socket's write reports the rejected send(). A TLS write does not on main: the records fail inside the write BIO and the write callback gets no error. tls: report a rejected send() as a write error instead of a clean close #42336 changes that and lands on its own. Until then us_internal_socket_defers_error returns 0 for a socket with ssl, which also covers the net.Socket under a TLS socket and a socket that was upgraded. Earlier heads of this PR deferred for TLS too and carried the send report (first an own variant, then the code of tls: report a rejected send() as a write error instead of a clean close #42336). That version is on the branch robobun/1d28c412/defer-reset-with-tls (d8b0408109) and can follow tls: report a rejected send() as a write error instead of a clean close #42336.
Self-review: a formal run on d8b0408109 returned "rework: wanted in a different shape". Addressed at this head: (1) the PR carried tls: report a rejected send() as a write error instead of a clean close #42336 and a change of what Bun.connect write() returns. Both are gone. (2) A tls.createServer({ pauseOnConnect: true }) socket missed a reset that node and main report at once. TLS sockets are unchanged now. (3) An own variant of the send report had broken HTTP/2 over TLS on an earlier head. That path is main's again. (4) The Windows opt-out used LIBUS_USE_LIBUV, which Remove libuv on Windows #42819 removes. It is _WIN32 now, because the reason is the OS: Windows discards the receive queue on a reset. Open, for the ruling above: the bit, and the fd that a parked socket keeps. Documented and not changed: the untyped deferErrorUntilRead key, and the states that keep the old answer.
deferErrorUntilRead travels in the socket handlers dictionary, like pauseOnConnect (net: keep the handle reading while a socket is paused, like node #39830) and the session / keylog / serverName / alpnCallback hooks (net,tls: port Node.js net/tls compatibility tests and fix the gaps they surface — half-open/reset/write semantics, server TLSSocket wrap, session/keylog, SNICallback/ALPNCallback, pfx, OpenSSL error shapes, addCACert, local binding (+305 tests) #31155). It is not in bun-types, but Bun.connect({ socket: { deferErrorUntilRead: true } }) does turn it on. reload() applies it to the socket that reloads.
Small extra in net.ts: the data handler of an onread socket did not count its reads, so socket.bytesRead stayed 0 (node counts them). The onread test asserts it.
A paused Bun.connect / Bun.listen socket still gets the bytes and the close at once (test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, unchanged).
Tests that pinned the old order for a plain node:net socket and now follow node: pauseOnConnect > reports a peer reset when it resumes and the two paused socket whose peer sends RST tests in node-net.test.ts, and the net case of reports the reset that arrives while the socket is paused in node-tls-server.test.ts (its tls case is unchanged, the new net case is meets the reset when it resumes, behind every byte the peer sent). The two paused socket whose peer sends RST tests assert only the final error code, so they pass on 1.4.3 too.
Windows: the deferral does not apply. Windows discards the receive queue on a reset, so there are no bytes to deliver in order. The first new test runs there with the old expectation.
kqueue: the logic is shared with epoll except for how the socket stops its events. On a deferral the dispatcher calls us_poll_change(0), so only the EV_CLEAR read filter stays, and a later write registers its one-shot filter again. I could not run macOS locally. The darwin lanes of CI ran these tests on earlier heads. The loopback there can deliver the reset a moment after the peer's close, so the write test writes until a write fails (the errno is EPIPE there, as in node).
Cost for a socket that never meets a reset, read from the diff (90 added lines under src/ and packages/, 38 of them in loop.c). The deferral helper runs only behind the error flag of an event, so an event without an error does no new work. on_open reads one bool per socket, and a node:net socket makes one call that sets the bit. sizeof(struct us_socket_t) stays 80 bytes on Linux x64 (compiled with and without the bit: it fits in the existing bit-field). No host function, binding or startup work is new.
Merged with main at 4b02e1031d. No conflict.
Found on the way, not fixed here: an explicit socket.ref() on a read-stopped socket keeps the process alive (node exits). It reproduces on 1.4.3 and on main without this change.

no test proof · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts, test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts, test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts

usockets reads what the kernel queued ahead of a reset into the stream before it reports the error, also when reads are stopped. destroy(err) then dropped those bytes before a paused consumer could take them. Node leaves them in the kernel and meets the reset on the read after them. Hold the error while reads are stopped (or a FIN already ended them) and bytes are unread. Deliver it once the consumer has the bytes, or asks for more of them than arrived. Behind a FIN the stream ends without an error, as in node. A write while the error is held fails with it. An onread socket gets the same order, and its bytesRead now counts its reads.

Status

Head 3c6598b416, merged with main 4b02e1031d. Linux x64, debug build of this branch vs release 1.4.3-canary (367d939) and node v26.3.0. The fix is in usockets (see the description).

What changed at this head: the PR is smaller. It defers the reset for plain TCP node:net sockets only (90 added lines under src/ and packages/). A review of the previous head said that the TLS send report (#42336) must land on its own, so this PR no longer carries it, and a TLS socket behaves as on main. The previous version is on the branch robobun/1d28c412/defer-reset-with-tls. One question is open for a maintainer, the first paragraph of the notes in the description: a per-socket bit, or one rule for every socket after the other owners are changed.

How I reproduced it: the script in the PR notes. A client pauses in its 'connect' listener, the peer writes 20,000 bytes and resets 30 ms later, the client resumes at 150 ms. Release build: 'data' bytes 0 of 20000 | error:ECONNRESET bytesRead=20000. Node and this branch: 'data' bytes 20000 of 20000 | resume error:ECONNRESET bytesRead=20000. The same script over TLS prints 0 of 20000 on node, the release build and this branch.

Measured on this head:

test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts -t "read-stopped socket whose peer resets|pauseOnConnect|paused socket whose peer sends RST": 13 pass. On the release build 9 of them fail.
test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts -t "server socket whose peer resets the connection behind unread data": 4 pass, 2 skipped (each transport skips the other's case). On the release build the new net case fails.
Whole files, one at a time: the 9 files of test/js/node/net/, the 28 of test/js/node/tls/, test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, socket-syscall-fault, test/js/node/cluster.test.ts (36), test/regression/issue/39846.test.ts, node-http-backpressure (83), node-http-server-abort-events (105). Two files have failures, none from this change: node-net.test.ts, 10 (8 net.Socket read tests dial localhost, which resolves to ::1 only here, and 2 need public DNS), and socket.test.ts, 1 (it connects to www.example.com).

Measured before the merge with main, on the same source change (fb60b91ad7):

node-http2.test.js (393), node-http-req-socket-pause (27), node-http-incoming-socket (4), node-http-server-socket-end-drain (9), the 10 files of test/js/bun/net/: no failure apart from the www.example.com test.
node's own scripts, run with the debug build: 139 of 139 test-net-*, 80 of 80 test-cluster-*, 6 of 6 test-child-process-* socket tests, 388 of 391 test-http-*. Of the three that failed, test-http-outgoing-end-cork passed on a second run, and test-http-client-timeout-option and test-http-agent-keepalive fail the same way on a debug build of the merge base (0 of 4 and 1 of 4 runs pass there). Both wait a fixed 1 to 100 ms.

CI has not run on this head yet. Build 122105 ran on the previous head.

Not covered: TLS sockets (unchanged from main until #42336 lands), the node:http server (req.pause(): 0 of 300,000 bytes here and on the release build, node 196,608), which is not built on these sockets, and Windows. I could not run macOS or Windows locally.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds deferred peer-reset delivery for configured sockets. uSockets preserves buffered data before eligible errors, tracks TLS and raw write failures, and applies the setting through runtime handlers. Network and TLS tests add platform-specific reset, FIN, pause, and buffering coverage.

Socket configuration and runtime wiring

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred error configuration and runtime wiring `src/runtime/socket/SocketConfig.bindv2.ts`, `src/jsc/generated.rs`, `src/runtime/socket/Handlers.rs`, `src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs`, `src/uws_sys/*`, `src/js/node/net.ts`	Adds the `deferErrorUntilRead` option, propagates it through handler reloads, and enables it for Node network handlers and connected sockets.
Deferred reset lifecycle and write-error tracking `packages/bun-usockets/src/{context.c,loop.c,socket.c,libusockets.h}`, `packages/bun-usockets/src/internal/internal.h`, `packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c`	Adds socket state and APIs for deferred errors, preserves eligible peer errors during dispatch, and reports peer-gone failures from raw and TLS writes.
Platform-aware regression coverage `test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts`, `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts`	Expands reset tests for buffered data, paused sockets, `onread`, accepted sockets, HTTP, FIN handling, TLS, and Windows, Linux, and BSD-specific results.

- Deliver the held error once a read leaves less than the highWaterMark buffered, which is when node's read() calls _read() and meets the reset. A read(n) that takes only a part of the bytes no longer waits forever. - A TLS socket over a net.Socket keeps its held error when the wrapped socket closes, so tls.connect({ socket }) and new TLSSocket(socket, { isServer }) deliver the unread bytes and then ECONNRESET. - _write checks the held error before it parks a write for a TLS upgrade. - resume() restarts the handle through readStart().

… read A socket with no read interest still acted on HUP/ERR: it read the fd, consumed the socket error and closed. node:net then destroyed the stream with the bytes still unread, ended a FIN-then-reset connection with an error, and a paused copy of a shared connection stole the error from the process that reads it. Follow libuv for the owners that ask for it (the node:net handler tables): while the socket is paused (or has had its FIN) and has no write pending, an error event is not acted on. epoll leaves the fd, kqueue's EV_CLEAR knote does not fire again, and resume() or a write re-adds it. The error drain stops when on_data pauses the socket again. A hangup that meets a pending write on such a socket closes it with ECONNRESET, because the send that failed already took the socket error. This replaces the JS-level hold in net.ts. The libuv backend is unchanged.

…efer_error_until_read on reload

- Clear POLLING_OUT when a deferred event may have carried the one-shot write filter, so a later write registers it again (a TLS write after the reset hung on macOS). - Gate the paused AF_UNIX hangup exception on defer_error_until_read, so Bun.Socket keeps its behaviour on kqueue. - Test: send() on a reset socket gives EPIPE on the BSDs.

claude

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

The three items from my previous review are addressed in the latest push: the kqueue defer path now drops POLLING_OUT (packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c:461), the epoll_kqueue.c:378 clause is gated on defer_error_until_read like its epoll twin, and the write-after-reset test accepts EPIPE off Linux. Beyond the inline nit on reload(), I also checked the new hangup branch at loop.c:880 — it requires both defer_error_until_read and last_write_failed, so Bun.listen/Bun.connect sockets keep the existing EOF deferral. The usockets dispatch changes still warrant a human look, since I could not exercise the kqueue path here.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a per-socket defer_error_until_read bit to uSockets (epoll and kqueue dispatch paths, libuv excluded), plumbs it through the Rust socket handlers and net.ts, and reworks node:net reset ordering tests. No security-sensitive surface is touched; the sensitive part is event-dispatch correctness on the kqueue backend, which was only reasoned about, not run, on this Linux checkout. The prior review's three blocking items were addressed by commit 98b802a; the remaining inline finding is a nit about reload() not re-pushing the native bit.

… whose send hits a dead peer

claude

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

### Problem - `net.Socket#write()` returns `true` when the send fails inside the same call: the kernel rejects it (`ECONNRESET`, `EPIPE`) or the handle is already closed (`EBADF`). Node v26.3.0 returns `false` and sets `socket.errored` before `write()` returns. - The cause is `Socket.prototype._write` (`src/js/node/net.ts:2968` and `:2976`). It hands the error to the stream callback with `process.nextTick`. `Writable.write()` computes its return value before that tick. ### Fix - `_write` calls the stream callback with the error in the same call, in both branches, like Node's `afterWriteDispatched` ([stream_base_commons.js#L158-L159](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v26.3.0/lib/internal/stream_base_commons.js#L158-L159)). - The stream still runs the write callbacks and destroys the socket on the next tick. The order of write callback, `'error'` and `'close'` does not change. - `_write` does not call `failWrite` there. `failWrite` destroys the socket at once, so a second write in the same tick would get `ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED`. Node gives both writes the original errno. - Verified: `test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts` and `test/js/node/net/net-syscall-fault.test.ts` (8 new tests, all fail on main's `src/`). Also node's `test-net-*`, `test-http-*`, `test-tls-*` and `test-http2-*` files. ### Background - `Writable.write()` calls `_write(chunk, encoding, callback)`. If `callback(err)` runs before `_write` returns, the stream sets `errored` at once and `write()` returns `false`. The user callbacks and the destroy wait for the next tick. - The native `$write` returns a negative errno when `send()` fails because the peer is gone. ### Downsides - Code that reads `socket.errored` or `socket.writable` right after a failed `write()` sees the failure one tick earlier. Node reports the same values. - A TLS socket still returns `true`. The native TLS write does not report the errno to `_write` (#42336 adds that). <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Repro** (from a differential run of bun against node): ```js import net from "node:net"; let accepted, connected, client; const go = () => { if (!accepted || !connected) return; accepted.resetAndDestroy(); const ret = client.write("x", e => console.log("wcb", e ? e.code + " " + e.syscall : "ok")); console.log("write() returned", ret, "destroyed=" + client.destroyed, "errored=" + client.errored?.code, "writable=" + client.writable, "writableLength=" + client.writableLength); console.log("2nd write() returned", client.write("y", e => console.log("wcb2", e?.code, e?.syscall))); }; const server = net.createServer(s => { s.on("error", () => {}); accepted = s; go(); }); server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => { client = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () => { connected = true; go(); }); client.on("error", e => console.log("error", e.code, e.syscall)); client.on("close", hadError => { console.log("close", hadError); server.close(); }); }); ``` node v26.3.0 and this branch (Linux and Windows, line for line): ``` write() returned false destroyed=false errored=ECONNRESET writable=false writableLength=0 2nd write() returned false wcb ECONNRESET write wcb2 ECONNRESET write error ECONNRESET write close true ``` bun 1.4.3 and main: ``` write() returned true destroyed=false errored=undefined writable=true writableLength=1 2nd write() returned true wcb ECONNRESET write wcb2 ECONNRESET write error ECONNRESET write close true ``` The same comparison holds for a unix socket whose peer closed (`EPIPE`), for `socket._handle.close()` followed by `write()` (`EBADF`, `EPIPE` on Windows), for `cork()` / `uncork()`, and for `end(data)`. #43705 notes this bug as found on the way and leaves it alone. The two changes are independent. **Why the stream still destroys the socket.** The `Socket` constructor forces `autoDestroy: true`. `Writable`'s `onwrite` sees `state.sync`, so it queues `onwriteError` with `process.nextTick`. `onwriteError` runs the write callback, fails the buffered writes with the same error, and calls `destroy(err)`. This is the path the deferred `failWrite` call reached before, one tick later. **Tests** - `node-net.test.ts`: a unix socket whose peer closed (POSIX, the kernel reports it inside the peer's `close(2)`), a TCP socket whose peer reset the connection, a handle that was closed directly, and a corked batch that `uncork()` sends through `_writev`. The TCP test takes a fresh connection until the kernel rejects the send, because loopback does not promise that the RST is processed before the next `send(2)`. On Linux and Windows the first connection hit in 500 of 500 runs (release builds), so the loop is a guard for other kernels. - `net-syscall-fault.test.ts`: an injected `ECONNRESET` / `EPIPE` on the first `send()`, for the connecting socket and for the accepted socket. These run on ASAN builds only, where the fault hooks exist. - With only one of the two branches of the fix applied, the tests of the other branch fail. - Windows debug build of this branch: the TCP, closed-handle and corked tests pass, and `node-net.test.ts` is 114 pass, 0 fail. **Suites run on the Linux debug build**: `test/js/node/net/*.test.ts`, `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-{connect,server,upgrade}.test.ts`, `tls-syscall-fault.test.ts`, and the `test-net-*`, `test-http-*`, `test-https-*`, `test-tls-*`, `test-http2-*`, `test-child-process-*`, `test-cluster-*` files of `test/js/node/test`. Every failure there also fails without this change: the container resolves `localhost` to `127.0.0.1` only while `Bun.listen("localhost")` binds `::1`, and a few tests exceed their timeout on a debug build. On Windows, `test-net-pingpong.js` fails with and without this change (#39723, with #39727 open for it). **TLS.** After the peer's raw socket resets, node's `tlsSocket.write()` also returns `false` with `ECONNRESET`. Bun returns `true`, reports the write as done and closes without an error, with and without this change. The native TLS write never returns the errno, so `_write` cannot see the failure. #42336 makes the native side report it. With both changes the TLS path reaches the same `res < 0` branch. **Not changed**: `tlsSocketWrite` in `src/js/node/_http2_upgrade.ts` treats any truthy `$write` result as success. A TLS handle never returns a negative errno today, so that path is unaffected. </details>

…ever take; close on a hangup behind a failed send A TLS write that fails on a reset connection leaves its sealed records in the spill. us_internal_ssl_close then deferred the close until the spill drains, which never happens, and the paused-hangup branch took the fd out of epoll: the descriptor, the SSL state and the spill slot leaked. The close now goes ahead when the drain's send finds the peer gone. A send that fails without a report (a write to the net.Socket under a TLS socket) takes the socket error, so the next event is a bare hangup. With a write pending on a socket that defers errors, that hangup closes the socket with ECONNRESET before the writable dispatch, instead of parking it.

…e hangup close The hangup branch closed a socket with ECONNRESET whenever a hangup met a pending write. AF_UNIX reports a hangup for a graceful peer close too, so a socket with a write in backpressure lost the peer's last bytes. The branch existed for one case, a write to the net.Socket under a TLS socket, whose failed send was not reported. That write now goes through us_socket_raw_write_check_error and fails like any other write, so the branch and its kqueue counterpart are gone.

…iled send leaves the socket error On the BSDs a failed send leaves the socket error in place, so the TLS socket of the pair reports ECONNRESET before it closes. On Linux the send takes it and the pair closes with no error on the TLS socket.

….Socket met the reset On Linux the failed send takes the socket error, so the TLS socket delivers what it had read and ends. On macOS the socket error stays, the poll reports it, and the TLS socket fails with ECONNRESET.

…ed records dropped, http2 unchanged A TLS write now learns of a rejected send() through us_internal_classify_failed_send, the classification plain TCP already uses, on every platform. The records SSL_write sealed for the failed write are discarded, so a retry cannot send the same plaintext twice and a close that follows has nothing undeliverable to wait for. The HTTP/2 frame parser does not take the report over TLS. Its reaction to a fatal write is to close the transport, which dropped a response that had arrived before the reset and gave the session EBADF. Bun.connect write() and end() return the documented -1 for a fatal send. This replaces this branch's own variant of the report.

… goes back to #42336 A TLS write does not report a rejected send() on main, so a TLS socket that left the reset in the kernel would never learn of it. That report is #42336 and lands on its own. Until it does, a TLS socket keeps the terminal error of main, and this branch no longer carries that report, the HTTP/2 exemption or the Bun.connect write() return value. The opt-out for Windows is by OS: the receive queue is gone after a reset there, whatever the poll backend is.

I re-reviewed the narrowed version of this PR (plain-socket deferral only, TLS send reporting moved back to #42336) and found no bugs; since it changes the usockets dispatcher and reverses #39860 for every node:net socket, a human look at that trade-off is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

us_internal_socket_defers_error at its three dispatcher sites: the epoll us_poll_stop + poll_type reset and kqueue us_poll_change(…, 0) match the existing paused-hangup parking, and us_socket_resume/the EAGAIN write path re-add the fd via the ENOENT fallback in us_poll_change.
New defer_error_until_read bit: zeroed in all four init sites (listen, connect, accept, us_socket_from_fd); the flag reaches accepted and fd-adopted sockets because both paths call NewSocket::on_open, and reload() re-applies it.
bindv2 dictionary vs hand-mirrored generated.rs: field appended in declaration order on both sides, so the #[repr(C)] layout stays in sync.
Test rewrites: each replaced reset assertion still pins the error code/syscall and the byte count, the old paused-reset case is only skipped for net on non-Windows with the replacement test alongside it, and the "two ticks then expect no events" negative checks are commented.

Extended reasoning...

The diff is now 15 files, +384/-79: a per-socket defer_error_until_read bit in usockets (internal.h, context.c, loop.c, socket.c, libusockets.h), its plumbing through the bindv2 Handlers dictionary, Handlers.rs, socket_body.rs and the uws_sys wrappers, deferErrorUntilRead: true on the three node:net handler tables plus a bytesRead increment on the onread data path, and rewritten reset tests in node-net.test.ts and node-tls-server.test.ts. It touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface; the sensitive part is the event-loop dispatcher in loop.c, where a wrong condition would leak fds or lose close events. The deferral helper mirrors the pre-existing paused-hangup parking pattern and I could not find a path where a deferred socket is never re-armed (resume, write-EAGAIN and shutdown all go through us_poll_change). What decides defer over approve is that this is core native loop code with a deliberate behavioral reversal of #39860 for node:net (no 'error' until the consumer reads or writes), which is a product decision rather than a mechanical change, and the prior "no issues" reviews were on a materially larger diff.
