net: do not inherit the no-half-open enforcer by lpinca · Pull Request #18974 · nodejs/node

lpinca · 2018-02-24T08:54:24Z

Socket.prototype.destroySoon() is called as soon as UV_EOF is read
if the allowHalfOpen option is disabled. This already works as a
"no-half-open enforcer" so there is no need to inherit another from
stream.Duplex.

I am not really a fan of this … not calling the Duplex constructor seems like a bad idea in general, and it’s going to be an extra obstacle while working on merging all StreamBase JS wrappers…
Can we instead make the Duplex constructor not attach the event handler if options.allowHalfOpen is set? That would help all other Duplex streams as well…

Yes, after #18953 my idea was to override the allowHalfOpen option when calling the Duplex constructor in order to never inherit the listener but to do that the options object has to be copied. This was done for performance reasons.

I'm open to suggestions.

@lpinca Yeah, good point.
I don’t think we can get around that without making some kind of change to the Duplex API, but I would be okay with that.
The best I can come up with right now would be this:
Add
Duplex.kHasHalfOpenEnforcer=Symbol('kHasHalfOpenEnforcer');// or non-enumerableDuplex.prototype[Duplex.kHasHalfOpenEnforcer]=true;net.Socket.prototype[Duplex.kHasHalfOpenEnforcer]=false;
Check for that property in the Duplex constructor
Another approach might be to create an internal Duplex constructor that omits the listener addition, which could serve as a base class of the “real”, publicly exposed Duplex stream…

I'm not very happy with option 1, adapting the base class to the needs of the child seems kinda hackish. Will think a bit about the second approach.

addaleax · 2018-03-04T16:28:28Z

… and, as I understand it, would allow us to get rid of this, if we just transform allowHalfOpen correctly to begin with?
Also, I don’t know what the motivation for this was, but I don’t get why the default is not allowing half-open connections.

This is unrelated but options is always an object so there is no reason to see if it's truthy.

benjamingr · 2018-03-05T08:05:35Z

I'm fine with either the solution here or the one addaleax suggested.

lpinca · 2018-03-05T10:18:25Z

@addaleax @benjamingr PTAL when you have some time. I will reorganize commits if this is acceptable.

mcollina · 2018-03-05T10:25:33Z

I'm -1 on the overall approach. Why cannot it be implemented only in Duplex, and the duplicating code removed from Socket? We should strive for that ideally.

If we go with this approach, we must move all the defined properties from Duplex to DuplexBase, or re-implement them for Socket if that implementation would be different.

This goes against the generic intent of reducing how we rely on streams internals.

lpinca · 2018-03-05T10:41:59Z

@mcollina read discussion in #18974 (comment)

net.Socket has its own "no-half-open" enforcer so we should not inherit it from Duplex even when the allowHalfOpen option is false. It should never be inherited as it's only useless overhead.

To do that we can set the allowHalfOpen option to true before calling the Duplex constructor but the options object must be copied. That degrades performance.

Workarounds:

Original approach: dc18709
@addaleax's suggestions: net: do not inherit the no-half-open enforcer #18974 (comment)

As said I'm open to suggestions.

addaleax · 2018-03-05T10:53:29Z

@lpinca Matteo has a point … what’s the downside of removing the extra code in net.Socket and just using what Duplex provides?

lpinca · 2018-03-05T11:33:35Z

That means doing the work twice, no? First to add the listener in the Duplex constructor and then to remove it unconditionally in the net.Socket constructor. I would rather copy the options object in that case.

addaleax · 2018-03-05T11:35:02Z

@lpinca If we want to use the Duplex mechanism, why would we remove the listener in the net.Socket destructor?

lpinca · 2018-03-05T11:39:07Z

Assume that we instantiate the net.Socket with the allowHalfOpen option set to false.

constsocket=newSocket({allowHalfOpen: false});

The Duplex constructor will add the no-half-open enforcer but we don't need it as the Socket already has its own no-half-open enforcer so we have to remove it in the Socket constructor.

lpinca · 2018-03-05T11:44:46Z

Removing the net.Socket no-half-open enforcer in favor of the one provided by Duplex is not an option as they don't work in same way.

The no-half-open enforcer in Duplex calls end() on next tick
It doesn't call Socket.prototype.destroySoon().

benjamingr

Still LGTM and nicer now.

mcollina · 2018-03-05T13:43:22Z

The destroySoon() method uses this._writableState.finishedhttps://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/net.js#L535. We should aim to remove that (maybe even moving destroySoon() under streams?).

I'd be actually 👍 in improving the allowHalfOpen behavior in the Duplex so that this could be supported. I do not see a reason to have allowHalfOpen in Duplex at all if our own Socket implementation (the quintessence of a Duplex) cannot use it.

mcollina

Making my -1 explicit and flagging it at as semvermajor, because socket instanceof Duplex would now return false.

addaleax · 2018-03-05T13:51:03Z

because socket instanceof Duplex would now return false.

@mcollina That’s incorrect, it does return true.

mcollina · 2018-03-05T14:18:18Z

Can you please add a note along the following lines: Socket is still inheriting from Duplex, but we are just using a slimmed down constructor. socket instanceOf Duplex would keep returning true

@mcollina updated, PTAL.

mcollina

LGTM with a nit.

Add ability to subclass `stream.Duplex` without inheriting the "no-half-open enforcer" regardless of the value of the `allowHalfOpen` option.

`Socket.prototype.destroySoon()` is called as soon as `UV_EOF` is read if the `allowHalfOpen` option is disabled. This already works as a "no-half-open enforcer" so there is no need to inherit another from `stream.Duplex`.

Should this be backported to 8.x? If so, a separate backport PR is needed

lpinca · 2018-08-18T05:29:17Z

I would skip this and eventually backport #19779 which is basically a revert of this one, but #19779 depends on #18953. Let me know.
