No new issues found — all five concerns from my earlier rounds (fd cursor via pread, the size==0 ENOENT guard, the S3 error wording, Windows pread pointer semantics, and the st_size==0 procfs case) are addressed in the current diff. Deferring to a maintainer because this introduces synchronous disk I/O into the new Blob([...]) constructor path and changes observable behavior (ENOENT now thrown where file parts were previously silently dropped), which is a design call worth a human sign-off. Note comment-cop has left several unresolved flags on the new code comments; the ones I see in the current diff are 2-3 line invariant notes rather than workaround justifications, so they may just need dismissing.
What was reviewed: the borrow-vs-clone split in push_blob_part_bytes and its detach_lifetime safety contract against the caller's prescan; the Path arm's read_file ownership/free of the returned buffer; the Fd arm's pread grow-loop for cap sizing, offset arithmetic, and short-read handling; and the new tests for hermeticity and platform gating.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR fixes #25851: file-backed Blob parts (Bun.file(path), Bun.file(fd), slices/clones thereof) contributed zero bytes when used as one of multiple parts in new Blob([...]) / new File([...]). The fix extracts a push_blob_part_bytes helper that dispatches on the store variant: in-memory bytes borrow or clone as before, path-backed files go through NodeFS::read_file, fd-backed files use a pread grow-until-EOF loop at the Blob's absolute offset, and S3-backed parts throw a clear error. ~120 lines of new Rust in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs plus ~70 lines of tests in blob.test.ts.
Security risks
None identified. Inputs are the caller's own file paths/fds; there is no untrusted-length parsing. Buffer sizing uses saturating_sub/saturating_mul/saturating_add and clamps against fstat size or the slice's concrete size. The one unsafe block (detach_lifetime on the borrowed bytes view) is gated on the same prescan invariant the pre-PR code relied on and is documented at both the call site and the helper.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. This is core Web API surface (Blob/File constructors) and native code with an unsafe block, cross-platform I/O, and a user-visible behavior change: constructing a Blob with a nonexistent file part now throws ENOENT synchronously instead of silently contributing nothing. It also introduces synchronous disk reads into a constructor that was previously pure over its arguments — that is the correct-per-spec behavior (the constructor is sync and "process blob parts" cannot be deferred), but it is an architectural choice a maintainer should confirm rather than something I should approve unilaterally.
Other factors
This PR has been through two rounds of my review; all five prior findings were addressed with follow-up commits and tests (fd-twice, ENOENT-after-.size, POSIX-only cursor check, procfs grow loop). The bug-hunting pass this run found nothing new. Test coverage is thorough across path/fd/slice/clone/Response.blob() variants and the error path. The outstanding comment-cop bot flags target 2-3 line invariant comments (the push_blob_part_bytes doc comment, the pread-vs-read_file rationale) that read as durable non-obvious content to me, but they are unresolved and the author should either trim or dismiss them.

The multi-part join in from_js_without_defer_gc pushed blob.shared_view() for every Blob part, but shared_view() returns an empty slice for any non-Bytes store (Data::File, Data::S3). Every file-store Blob used as one part of a multi-part new Blob([...]) or new File([...]) therefore contributed zero bytes. The single-part fast path (new Blob([Bun.file(p)])) was unaffected because it shares the store instead of joining bytes. Fix: dispatch on the part's store. Data::Bytes keeps the shared_view() path. Data::File reads the file synchronously (the constructor is sync and the spec's "process blob parts" requires the bytes at construction time): path stores use NodeFS::read_file; fd stores use pread so repeated use of the same fd part reads the correct window regardless of cursor position. Data::S3 throws rather than silently contributing zero bytes, since there is no synchronous S3 read path. A nonexistent file part now throws ENOENT from the constructor instead of being silently ignored. Fixes #25851

The over-allocation concerns from the last round are addressed in 2f30b03 — both the empty-fd-huge-slice and sparse-file triggers now go through try_reserve* with the 8 GiB cap and surface ENOMEM instead of aborting, and the grow loop is likewise fallible. I didn't find anything further.
Deferring to a human for the design/behaviour sign-off rather than the mechanics: new Blob([...]) now does synchronous disk I/O and throws (ENOENT for a missing path, an error for S3 parts) where it previously returned successfully — that's the right fix for #25851 but is a user-visible change a maintainer should confirm.
What was reviewed:
- Fd arm buffer sizing: traced empty-file+huge-slice (starts at 8K, first pread returns 0) and sparse
st_size(capped at 8 GiB viatry_reserve_exact, grow loop viatry_reserve) — no infallible allocation remains. 8 << 30literal is inferred asusizevia.min(), so no i32 overflow on 64-bit targets.- Path arm:
push_clonedbeforebuf.destroy(), so no UAF; encoding fixed toBuffer. - Both call sites (array iterator and deferred-stack arm) route through the helper; the deferred arm passes
borrow_bytes=falsematching the prior always-copy behaviour.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Adds push_blob_part_bytes (~110 lines) to src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs so file-backed Blob parts in a multi-part new Blob([...]) contribute their bytes instead of being silently dropped. The Path arm delegates to NodeFS::read_file; the Fd arm hand-rolls a pread loop with fstat-derived sizing, an 8 GiB initial cap, fallible try_reserve*, and grow-until-EOF for st_size==0 virtual files. S3-backed parts throw. Adds ~70 lines of tests in blob.test.ts covering path/fd, slices, repeated fds, past-EOF slices, empty-fd huge slices, structuredClone, Response.blob(), and ENOENT.
Verification of last round's fix
I traced 2f30b03 against both triggers from my previous review:
- Empty file +
.slice(0, 1e12):file_len==0→initial = 8192.min(cap) = 8192, firstpreadreturns 0, loop breaks. Test added. - Sparse file (
st_size=1e12):initial = cap = 1e12, buttry_reserve_exact(initial.min(8<<30))caps at 8 GiB and throwsENOMEMon failure; the grow loop'stry_reserveis likewise fallible. Novec[...]or infallibleresize-past-capacity remains.
The resize calls follow a successful try_reserve* for the same delta, so they cannot reallocate. new_len - buf.len() cannot underflow because new_len = buf.len().saturating_mul(2).min(cap) and the branch is only entered when buf.len() < cap.
Security risks
The user-controlled-size → infallible-allocation abort was the security-relevant issue; it is now closed. The Path arm inherits read_file's existing safeguards. No path traversal or injection surface — inputs are already-constructed Bun.file handles.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is a Web-standard constructor (new Blob/new File) that now performs synchronous disk I/O and can throw where it previously could not. Four prior review rounds each found a real bug (Windows pread cursor semantics, procfs st_size==0, realloc churn, two over-allocation aborts), which is evidence the code is subtle enough to warrant a maintainer's eyes even though this pass found nothing.
Other factors
All prior inline threads are resolved and the comment-cop paragraph-comment flags were addressed (comments in the current diff are terse). Test coverage is broad and each earlier finding has a corresponding regression assertion. The remaining question is design intent — whether synchronous read-on-construct (and the new throw behaviour) is the approach the maintainers want, versus e.g. keeping the store lazy and materializing on first read. That's a maintainer call, not a correctness bug, so I'm deferring rather than approving.
…blocking open The in-memory arm is back at the two call sites as main has it. A part whose shared_view() is empty and whose store is a file or S3 goes to one cold function, so an in-memory part costs one emptiness check more than main. The path arm no longer calls NodeFS::read_file. It opens with O_NONBLOCK, fstats, and shares the fd arm's pread loop, so a FIFO with no writer can not block the JS thread, and the file is copied once less. A directory still throws EISDIR. A pipe, socket or device now throws a TypeError that names the async readers.
…s and the FIFO writer A path is now stat'ed first. A pipe, socket or device is refused without open(2), because the open of a FIFO wakes its writer, and the writer then fails before the async read that the error message names can run. Tests: every byte value and UTF-8 text, a part against the same part read alone (slices, a file that grows or shrinks), the path in ENOENT and EISDIR, an S3 part, a procfs file whose stat size is 0, and a FIFO whose writer still delivers to the async read after the constructor threw.

Pushed a rework on top of a merge with main (0832a6d, then 14a5bbd for the FIFO test on macOS).
The PR body has the measured costs (read time, peak memory, instruction counts, binary size) and the 3 review concerns that I did not change, each with the reason. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the fd lifetime in push_file_part (the opened bun_sys::File is closed on Drop on every return path, and caller-owned fds are read with pread only, never closed) and the allocation bounds from the earlier round (slice size is now clamped to st_size, the initial reservation is capped at 8 GiB and goes through try_reserve, so the over-allocation abort is closed) — both look correct.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a synchronous file-read helper to the multi-part Blob/File constructor in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs and a test block in test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts; it touches filesystem access from user-supplied paths and fds but no auth or credential surface. Three verified findings are posted inline (synchronous throw instead of rejection for Bun.write, event-loop stall on large files, and the FormData serializer not receiving the same fix), so approval is not appropriate; this note only records what else was examined and ruled out.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
On macOS the child never exited after `await Bun.file(fifo).text()`, so the test timed out. The test is about the constructor: it must refuse the FIFO without an open, so that the writer keeps its bytes for the next reader. `cat` is that reader now. The pipe case (`Bun.stdin`) is a test of its own.
…FO writer still waits The three callers that join an array of parts get one test: the bytes of a file part, and the synchronous ENOENT for a part that is missing. The FIFO test waits until the writer runs, and asserts after the constructor that the writer has not exited. A constructor that opens the FIFO now fails that assertion and does not run into the timeout.
A part that is not a regular file throws a TypeError, and that included the null device. main gave an empty part for it, and Node does too. The null device has no bytes and a read of it cannot block, so it is an empty part again. The part is the null device when it is a character device with the st_rdev of the platform's null device. That needs one more stat, and only for a character device. A path is still not opened for it. Each other device, a pipe and a socket still throw.
On Linux the null device is major 1, minor 3, so no stat of /dev/null is needed. A process that has no /dev in its root, with an fd on the null device that it got from its parent, now also gets an empty part. The tests for the null device now have a regular file as one more part, so they fail on a build that drops each file part.

fs.readFile has this rule: on Linux, a read as large as the RAM fails before the OOM killer acts. A file part of a Blob is the same kind of read, so it gets the same rule. Without it, a part of that size stalls the JS thread and takes the memory of the machine before it fails.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things in push_file_part: the fd opened for a path part is held in the _close_on_drop guard across the whole pread loop and released on every early return (the fd arm never closes the caller's fd), and a nonexistent path whose .size was already cached as 0 still throws ENOENT, because open runs before the cap == 0 shortcut.
Extended reasoning...
The diff adds a cold synchronous file-read helper to the multi-part Blob join in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs plus ~320 lines of tests; it touches filesystem syscalls on the JS thread but no auth or network surface. Two findings are posted inline (double-allocation RAM guard, serial subprocess tests), so a human look is already signalled; this note only records what else was examined.
The join holds a file part twice: in the buffer of the read and in the joined buffer. So the limit for a part is half the RAM, and it applies on each platform. Before, the limit was the RAM, and only on Linux. The test used a sparse file of 4 TiB. The filesystem of the Alpine lanes refuses a file of that size (EFBIG). The file is now 3/4 of the RAM. The tests that start a child process now run concurrently.
