From a03fa3727d796c85862426b868c58f0e5aac0d12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ch4r10t33r Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:49:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] io,ci: drain re-signals BLOCKED frames (#231); auto-retry flaky transfer gate (#229) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two related interop-robustness fixes in one PR. ## Lost-grant wedge + skipped delivery-budget test (#231) The fresh-send path emits STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED / DATA_BLOCKED once when a write first gates, but BLOCKED frames are not retransmitted on loss — only STREAM data has retransmit machinery. If the peer's window-GRANT datagram (MAX_STREAM_DATA / MAX_DATA) is lost after the payload was already accepted into `pending_stream_sends`, an idle app never calls the fresh-send path again, the drain silently skips the closed-window entries, and the transfer wedges forever. That kernel-loopback drop under CI load is exactly why the recv-delivery-budget socket-loopback test stalled intermittently on Linux and was skipped. Fix: the pending-send drain (server + client) now re-signals STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED / DATA_BLOCKED from its flow-control skip branches, rate-limited to one per 250 ms per conn (`blocked_signal_interval_ms`, `ConnState.blocked_signal_last_ms`). A lost grant self-heals: the peer answers the re-signal with a fresh MAX_(STREAM_)DATA, whose frame arm already re-drains. - Re-enabled the skipped test (`raw-app recv delivery budget` loopback). - New wedge-recovery test: payload placed directly into `pending_stream_sends` with conn credit exhausted (the exact lost-grant state — fresh-path emission bypassed); without the re-signal it wedges forever, with it the transfer completes via DATA_BLOCKED → MAX_DATA → re-drain. This closes the remaining item of #231 (recv round-robin + the credit-invariant test landed earlier in 57e1912). ## Flaky transfer gate auto-retry (#229) The bulk `transfer` testcases intermittently stall on loaded runners — a DIFFERENT transfer flakes each run on behavior-identical commits. CI now: - After the three run.py suites, re-runs ONLY failed `transfer` cases once per suite (into `results--retry.json` / `logs--retry`). cross-zquic-quinn is excluded — its transfer failure is already KNOWN_FAILING (#184). - The summary gate classifies a base-failed + retry-passed transfer as FLAKY-PASSED (reported, non-fatal). A real regression fails both attempts and still reds the gate; retry artifacts upload with the rest. Gate logic simulated both ways (flaky-passed → exit 0; double-fail → exit 1); retry detector probed on synthetic results; workflow YAML, step bash, and embedded python all syntax-checked. 301/301 unit tests pass (was 299 + 1 skip: the skip is re-enabled and one new test added), stable across 5 repeat runs. --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 59 ++++++++++++++++- src/transport/io.zig | 139 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 188 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index 7439178..f8195d1 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -280,6 +280,41 @@ jobs: --log-dir ../interop-results/logs-cross-zquic-quinn \ --json ../interop-results/results-cross-zquic-quinn.json \ --debug || true + + # #229: the bulk `transfer` testcases intermittently stall on loaded + # runners (a DIFFERENT transfer flakes each run on behavior-identical + # commits).
