Reproductible ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION on node 15

[Congelli501]

• Version: v15.14.0
• Platform: Linux c501ub 5.8.0-48-generic npm install is unbelievably slow, fails in certain environments #54-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 19 14:25:20 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Subsystem: stream

What steps will reproduce the bug?

I had a ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION when trying to run our application using node 15.x, for a stream destroy test. This code is the minimal version to reproduce it.
The code works ok on node 14.16.1, but fails under node 15.14.0

'use strict';

const {pipeline: pipelineCb, Writable, Readable} = require('stream');
const util = require('util');
const pipeline = util.promisify(pipelineCb);

(async () => {
	// Create a dummy readable stream
	let i = 0;
	const readable = new Readable({
		objectMode: true,
		read () {
			this.push({counter: i++});
		}
	});

	// Create a dummy writable stream with backpressure
	const writable = new Writable({
		objectMode: true,
		write: (chunk, encoding, callback) => {
			setTimeout(callback, 10); // Backpressure
		}
	});

	// Pipeline the sql stream in the dummy writable stream & destroy the writable stream after a few ms
	try {
		await Promise.all([
			pipeline(readable, writable),
			(async () => {
				// Destroy the stream after a few element
				// pipeline will destroy all the streams
				await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 50));
				writable.destroy();
			})()
		]);
	} catch (e) {
		if (e.code !== 'ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE') {
			throw e;
		}
	}
})().catch(e => {
	console.error(e);
	process.exitCode = 1;
});

To reproduce (under node 15):

% node index.js
node:internal/assert:14
 throw new ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION(message);
 ^

Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: This is caused by either a bug in Node.js or incorrect usage of Node.js internals.

Can reproduce on master. Also happens when using pipeline from stream/promises and setTimeout from timers/promises.

The assert was added here: #35067

I think that there might be two issues here:

• pipeline probably shouldn't destroy an already destroyed stream
• writable maybe (?) not changing the inner state correctly when the state is "writing", or maybe the assert should be skipped if it's still writing

[Linkgoron]

A reproduction without using pipeline:

const { Writable } = require('stream');

// Create a dummy writable stream with backpressure
const writable = new Writable({
 objectMode: true,
 write: (chunk, encoding, callback) => {
 setTimeout(callback, 100); // Backpressure
 }
});
writable.write('a');
writable.write('b');
writable.destroy();
writable.destroy();

I'll take a look.
