http2: onSessionRead after stream:end

Version: latest on master as well as PR http2: additional refinement of stream/session #138
Platform: MacOS
Subsystem: http2

There is a problem with the client. When the server terminates the socket, the client emits an end event before it has finished emitting all data events. This causes onread to throw an error.

Apologies for vague explanation. Here is the code to reproduce the error. pushserver.js is a long running process that does not show errors. The actual test case is pushclient.js. I separated them for easier debugging; it gets too confusing with debug messages from server and client in the same process.stdout.

Logs included below from master and pr #138. Also logs of nghttp for reference that confirm pushserver.js operates fine (AFAICT).

Note that the client error can be worked around by delaying the closing of the socket on the server side. That's what I did in test/parallel/test-http2-compat-serverresponse-createpushresponse.js previously, as that was only meant to test server implementation.

  console.log(`http://localhost:${port}`)
  server.on('request', function(request, response) {
    assert.strictEqual(response.stream.id % 2, 1);

    response.createPushResponse(
      {
        ':path': '/pushed',
        ':method': 'GET',

        // let count = 2;

        // response.stream.on('finish', common.mustCall(cleanupServer));
        // pushResponse.stream.on('finish', common.mustCall(cleanupServer));

        pushResponse.write('This is a server-initiated response');
        response.write('This is a client-initiated response');

        // setTimeout(() => pushResponse.end(), 1000);
        // setTimeout(() => response.end(), 1000);
        pushResponse.end();
        response.end();

I've rarely felt this clueless, but regardless I'm trying to figure out this problem.

Some findings so far:

Callbacks from nghttp2 are executed in the correct sequence:

Data on stream 1: Nghttp2Session::OnFrameReceive (NGHTTP2_DATA)
Closing stream 1: Nghttp2Session::OnStreamClose
Data on stream 2: Nghttp2Session::OnFrameReceive (NGHTTP2_DATA)
Closing stream 2: Nghttp2Session::OnStreamClose

But the sequence in Nghttp2Session::DrainCallbacks is incorrect:

Data on stream 1: NGHTTP2_CB_DATA_CHUNKS
Closing stream 1: NGHTTP2_CB_STREAM_CLOSE
Closing stream 2: NGHTTP2_CB_STREAM_CLOSE
Data on stream 2: NGHTTP2_CB_DATA_CHUNKS

Any help appreciated 😅

Did some more digging... It seems like the second NGHTTP2_DATA frame was not being queued due to Nghttp2Stream::IsReading returning false on the pushed stream. The reading_ property for the second stream is -1 because Nghttp2Stream::ReadStart is only triggered later by core.js at this.session._handle.streamReadStart(stream.id).

Is it correct to fix this as follows?

src/node_http2_core-inl.h

bool Nghttp2Stream::IsReading() const {
  return reading_ != 0;
}

Seems to work but not sure if it's as intended.

Otherwise, do we need to invoke Nghttp2Stream::ReadStart at an earlier stage on the pushed stream?

Alternative solution:

src/node_http2_core.cc

int Nghttp2Session::OnBeginHeadersCallback(nghttp2_session* session,
                                           const nghttp2_frame* frame,
                                           void* user_data) {
  std::shared_ptr<Nghttp2Stream> stream_handle;
  Nghttp2Session* handle = static_cast<Nghttp2Session*>(user_data);
  int32_t stream_id = (frame->hd.type == NGHTTP2_PUSH_PROMISE) ?
    frame->push_promise.promised_stream_id :
    frame->hd.stream_id;
  if (!handle->HasStream(stream_id)) {
    stream_handle = handle->StreamInit(stream_id, frame->headers.cat);
    stream_handle->ReadStart();
  } else {
    stream_handle = handle->FindStream(stream_id);
    assert(stream_handle);
    stream_handle->current_headers_category_ = frame->headers.cat;
  }
  return 0;
}

I think the first solution is the preferred. We intentionally do not call ReadStart() until the js layer calls for it. This is to ensure that the machinery necessary on the js side is all ready to go to receive the data.

Ok, looking at it further we have a few issues here. The most significant is that while the final DATA frame is being received and queued internally on the client in the native layer, the subsequent RST_FRAME that is received causes the internal data storage for the stream to be cleared before it can be read. This will happen when the DATA frame and RST_FRAME are received on the same tick (which is what is happening here). I'll need to refactor it a bit such that the JS layer can be notified that the RST_FRAME has been received but the memory is not cleared until we're certain that all of the received DATA frames have been pushed.

Fixed in #138
