Related to #44387
Supersedes #46636

Problem

• Bun.write(Bun.stdout, Bun.file(p)) rejects with EBADF: bad file descriptor, copy_file_range when stdout is an O_APPEND file. bun x.js >> log, make > log and fs.openSync(p, "a") hit it. do_copy_file_range (src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs) treats EBADF as fatal.
• For a stdout that was a terminal, the function clears O_APPEND with fcntl(F_SETFL) and retries sendfile. The parent shell loses the flag. If fd 1 is now an "a" log, the copy overwrites the log's start.

Fix

• If the first copy_file_range fails with EBADF and F_GETFL shows a writable O_APPEND destination, copy with the read/write loop, which honours O_APPEND. The fallback is from Bun.write: fall back to read/write when copy_file_range fails with EBADF on an O_APPEND destination #46636 (co-author).
• Remove the CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID path (independent): the EINVAL arm already falls back to the loop.
• Verified: test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js, four new tests, three fail without the change. Self-reviewed: 27 concerns raised, 24 addressed (Notes).

Background

• On Linux, Bun.write(dest, Bun.file(src)) copies in the kernel (copy_file_range, splice, sendfile). Each rejects an O_APPEND destination.
• A child shares open file descriptions, status flags included, with its parent. GNU make 4.0 to 4.3 sets O_APPEND on a recipe's terminal.
• Considered F_GETFL before every copy: one fcntl per fd destination. Considered a fallback on every EBADF (Bun.write: fall back to read/write when copy_file_range fails with EBADF on an O_APPEND destination #46636 as posted): a read-only destination reads the source first. The fourth test pins that.

Downsides

• An O_APPEND destination pays one failed kernel copy and at most one fcntl, then copies in 64 KiB steps.
• >> still goes wrong for other sources: NUL padding for a string (Keep the file size when preallocating a write #44425), an emptied log for "" (Bun.write: stop truncating a caller's fd (stdout, stderr, Bun.file(fd)) on an empty source #32890), a slice copied whole (Honor Bun.file().slice() bounds in Bun.write #41209).

Notes

Repro on main (release build of 367d939). With this change the three commands exit 0 and the logs hold file-content:

echo 'file-content' > src.txt
echo 'await Bun.write(Bun.stdout, Bun.file("src.txt"))' > cat.mjs
bun cat.mjs >  log1   # rc=0
bun cat.mjs >> log2   # EBADF: bad file descriptor, copy_file_range, rc=1, log2 empty
printf 'all:\n\t@bun cat.mjs\n' > Makefile; make > build.log   # rc=2, same error

Syscalls of one Bun.write(Bun.file(fd), Bun.file(src)) call. The source has 100000 bytes and the destination holds header\n. "main" is a release build of 367d939. "this PR" is a debug build of this branch, which has main 811afe7 merged. Listed with a small ptrace tool (strace is not installed in the container). Only the file syscalls of the copy are shown.

Destination	main	this PR
fd opened "r+"	openat fstat copy_file_range=100000 close	the same
path	openat openat fstat copy_file_range=100000 close close	the same
fd opened "a"	openat fstat copy_file_range=-9 close, rejects EBADF, file stays 7 bytes	openat fstat copy_file_range=-9 fcntl read write read write close, resolves 100000, file is 100007 bytes
fd opened O_RDONLY or O_RDONLY|O_APPEND, source is an fd	copy_file_range=-9, rejects EBADF, source offset 0	copy_file_range=-9 fcntl, the same rejection, source offset 0

A write-only source fd and a closed destination fd reject with code: "EBADF" and syscall: "copy_file_range" on both builds. One label differs: an "a" destination with a source fd that is not readable rejects with syscall: "read", where main says copy_file_range. Nothing is written in that case.

Why the flag check, and what it keeps. copy_file_range returns EBADF for an O_APPEND destination and also for a destination that is not writable. #46636 as posted falls back on every EBADF. I built that variant of the arm: a read-only destination fd then makes copy_file_range=-9 read write=-9, so the loop reads from the source (up to 64 KiB) before write fails. With a source fd from the caller, the offset of that fd moves. The check in this PR keeps the rejection of main for that case. The cost is one fcntl after a failed copy. The check holds only on this path. When the kernel copy is off (BUN_CONFIG_DISABLE_COPY_FILE_RANGE=1), main and this PR both go to the loop first: a read-only destination then rejects from write with the source offset at 65536.

If a maintainer prefers the fallback on every EBADF, delete is_writable_append and the fourth test. The arm is then the arm of #46636.

The test rejects a destination fd that is not writable and leaves the source fd unread pins the check. It passes on main by design. I checked it with two mutations of this branch: with no flag check both rows report unread: 0, and with the O_APPEND check but no access mode check the O_RDONLY|O_APPEND row reports unread: 0.

The arm is only for copy_file_range. sendfile and splice report an O_APPEND destination as EINVAL, and the EINVAL arm already falls back to the loop when nothing is written yet.

The check reads the flags through bun_sys::O. That table gets ACCMODE for unix (libc::O_ACCMODE). It was defined for Windows only.

The second change: CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID. The removed block ran when the stdout or stderr Blob was made on a terminal. After the EINVAL of sendfile it cleared O_APPEND on the destination with F_SETFL and called sendfile again. Two effects on main (release 367d939), both checked by the third test:

• A terminal with O_APPEND (exec 1>>/dev/tty): the output is printed, and the flags of the description go from 0102001 to 0100001. The flag stays cleared after bun exits. With this change the flags stay 0102001 and the loop prints the output.
• const out = Bun.stdout; fs.closeSync(1); fs.openSync("log.txt", "a"); await Bun.write(out, Bun.file("src.txt")) on a pty: the promise resolves with 8, and a log that held header-header\n is then payload\neader\n. With this change it is header-header\npayload\n.

Bun.write no longer clears O_APPEND on a destination. Other code in Bun still sets O_NONBLOCK on inherited stdio. This PR does not touch that.

GNU make 4.0 to 4.3 sets O_APPEND on the stdout of a recipe, a terminal included. Make 4.4 sets it only on a regular file (make commit 80b90b7866, "Only set APPEND mode for regular files"). I checked 4.4.1: the flags of a recipe's stdout are 02 on a pty and 0102001 with make > file.

#40221 edits the removed block. If a rebase there restores the block, the third test fails.

What >> still gets wrong after this PR. Measured with bun shape.mjs >> log, the log starts as header\n, the source has 3000 bytes:

Source	main	this PR	Tracked in
Bun.file(src)	rejects EBADF	appends 3000 bytes	this PR
string or Buffer	2993 NUL bytes before the data	the same	#44387, #44425
""	the log is truncated to 0 bytes	the same	#32890
Bun.file(src).slice(10, 20)	rejects EBADF	appends the whole file	#41209, #46634

The slice row is the behaviour that main already has under > log (the whole file is written). Under >> main rejected, so this PR changes a rejection into that result.

Two more cases are the same on main and on this PR. They are outside this PR:

• After process.stdout is used, fd 1 is non-blocking. Bun.write(Bun.stdout, Bun.file(big)) into a pipe then delivers 65536 of 1048576 bytes and rejects with EAGAIN from sendfile.
• Two copies of 4 MiB to the same fd that run at the same time lose bytes under > out: both promises resolve with 4194304 and the file holds 4194304 bytes (main 4 of 4 runs, this PR 5 of 6). Under >> out this PR keeps all 8388608 bytes.

Windows is not changed. From reading CopyFileWindows: for an fd destination that is a disk file it resolves the path and calls uv_fs_copyfile, so it does not append. I did not run that. The new tests skip Windows.

Earlier direction. In the review of #25751 (an append option, not merged) Jarred suggested the read/write fallback for a file appended to a file.

Tests, on the debug build of this branch:

• The four new tests pass (3 runs). On the release build of main three fail: two with EBADF: bad file descriptor, copy_file_range, the third with before=0102001 after=0100001 and the overwritten log.
• The whole bun-write.test.js: 111 pass with --timeout 30000. With the default 5 s limit Bun.file(0) survives GC takes 5.0 to 6.1 s on this debug build and times out. The copy of the file from main does the same on this build (5 of 5 runs). The file is describe.concurrent, and that test runs ten full collections while the other tests run.

Self-review. 27 concerns, 24 addressed. The larger ones: the arm now runs only for copy_file_range, the check needs a writable access mode, the check has a test, the log overwrite has a test, the description names the second change and the remaining >> cases, and #46636 is not closed by hand. Not done: two concerns ask to run the "a" test on Windows behind a flag or as a todo (I cannot run Windows), and one asks for a tracking issue about the errno lists of the other copy paths (I did not verify its repro).

History. The head that was green on Oct 3 (74e5aed) read F_GETFL before every copy to an fd destination, and it conflicted with main in the harness import of the test file. This revision merges main and moves the check after the failed copy.

Walkthrough

Linux and Android file copies now use a read/write fallback when copy_file_range returns EBADF before copying bytes to a writable append-mode destination. The change removes the EINVAL retry that cleared O_APPEND and adds tests for append destinations and descriptor handling.

Changes

Append-mode file copy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Copy fallback implementation src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs, src/sys/lib.rs	do_copy_file_range checks whether the destination is writable and append-mode before using the read/write fallback for the specified EBADF case. The EINVAL path no longer clears O_APPEND and retries. Linux and Android call sites use the same implementation, and Unix defines O::ACCMODE from libc.
Append-mode write tests test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js	Tests cover appending to redirected stdout and a/a+ descriptors, rejecting writes to read-only destinations without consuming the source fd, and preserving a tty’s O_APPEND flag.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes Linux syscall selection in the Bun.write copy path and removes an existing (broken) behavior that mutated inherited fd flags, a human look at the I/O-path reasoning would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The upfront F_GETFL check in do_copy_file_range — gated on PathOrFileDescriptor::Fd, so Bun-opened paths (always O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY|O_CREAT) skip the extra syscall; fallback goes to the existing fallback_read_write loop that already handles ENOSYS/EXDEV.
• Removal of CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID / has_unset_append — no remaining callers; is_atty on the file store is still read by FileReader.rs, so the field is not orphaned.
• appends_to_caller_fd in write_file.rs — reuses is_allowed_to_close() to distinguish caller fds, mirroring the same check node_fs.rs makes; uses bun_sys::get_fcntl_flags rather than raw libc.
• The pty test's read of output right after await proc.exited was flagged for a possible race with the terminal data callback and examined — the assertion regex-matches the final echo >&2 line, which is the last thing the shell writes before exit.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes Bun.write() on Linux when the destination fd has O_APPEND set — a case reached via >> shell redirection, GNU make recipes, or fs.openSync(path, "a"). Two files in src/runtime/webcore/blob/ change: copy_file.rs drops the CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID const-generic branch that used fcntl(F_SETFL) to strip O_APPEND from the shared open file description (mutating the parent process's fd), replacing it with an upfront F_GETFL check that routes O_APPEND caller fds to the existing read/write fallback; write_file.rs adds appends_to_caller_fd() to skip the fallocate preallocation for such fds, avoiding a NUL-byte hole before appended data. Four tests are added to test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js.

Security risks

None. This is I/O-path correctness, not a trust boundary. The change actually removes a hazard — silently clearing O_APPEND on a description shared with the parent shell — rather than adding one. No user-controlled data reaches new parsing or allocation logic; the added get_fcntl_flags call is on an fd the caller already handed to Bun.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The diff is small and the reasoning is clearly documented (the comments cite the exact kernel behavior — copy_file_range(2)/sendfile(2)/splice(2) all reject O_APPEND destinations), but it sits inside the Linux-only kernel-copy selection logic for Bun.write, which has several sibling paths (CopyFileRange/Sendfile/Splice) and interacts with fd ownership semantics. The removal of the old F_SETFL behavior is unambiguously correct (Bun should never mutate flags on a description it did not open), and the fallback target is the pre-existing fallback_read_write loop, so the risk surface is narrow. Still, syscall-selection changes in a hot I/O path warrant a human sign-off rather than bot approval.

Other factors

The tests follow repo conventions closely: added to the existing bun-write.test.js, tempDir/bunExe/bunEnv, concurrent pipe draining via Promise.all, combined-object .toEqual assertions, exit code asserted last, Buffer.alloc(n, fill) instead of .repeat(), and platform gating via describe.skipIf(isWindows) / it.skipIf(!isLinux). The PR description states all four fail on the shipped binary (satisfying the USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 requirement). No CODEOWNERS entry covers src/runtime/webcore/blob/ or test/js/bun/io/. The is_atty field whose reads were removed from copy_file.rs remains live in FileReader.rs, so no dead code is left behind. The one candidate concern raised during the hunt — a possible race between proc.exited and the pty data callback in the fourth test — was examined; the assertion depends on the final line the child writes immediately before exit, and the regex will fail (not vacuously pass) if that line is missing.

[robobun]

Status

• Reproduced on main (release build of 367d939): bun cat.mjs >> log and make > build.log fail with EBADF: bad file descriptor, copy_file_range. Bun.write(Bun.file(fd), Bun.file(p)) rejects for an fd opened with 'a'. On a pty with O_APPEND the flag is cleared after the write, and a log that took the place of the terminal is overwritten from its start.
• The head is 190b97c. It merges main 811afe7. The earlier head 74e5aed conflicted with main in the test file.
• The O_APPEND check now runs after a failed copy_file_range, not before every copy. The fallback after the failure comes from Bun.write: fall back to read/write when copy_file_range fails with EBADF on an O_APPEND destination #46636, and its author is a co-author of the commit. A copy to a destination without O_APPEND makes the same syscalls as on main.
• On a debug build of this head the four new tests pass. Three of them fail on the release build of main. The fourth passes on main by design: it checks that a destination that is not writable still rejects and leaves the source unread.
• The tty test no longer uses grep and tr.
• CI on this head is green: Buildkite build 132076 passed, and the GitHub checks passed.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

LGTM — the Linux copy path now reads the destination's status flags once and routes O_APPEND fds to the read/write loop instead of toggling O_APPEND on a shared description, and the three new tests exercise >>, "a"/"a+" fds, and the inherited-tty flag.

One note: the latest commit dropped the write_file.rs fallocate change and its test, but the PR description still describes "skip the fallocate" and "four new tests" — worth updating before merge so the squashed commit message matches the code.

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches only src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs (Linux/Android do_copy_file_range) and test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js; it removes the CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID const generic and the raw libc fcntl F_SETFL branch, replacing them with a read-only bun_sys::get_fcntl_flags check gated on an Fd-pathlike destination that falls through to the existing fallback_read_write, which already handles non-Bun-opened fds without ftruncate. No security-sensitive surface is involved; the only behavioral cost is one extra fcntl(F_GETFL) per Fd-destination copy. The is_atty field remains live in FileReader.rs, the removed c_int import has no other users, and the changed paths are not CODEOWNER-covered. The change is small, self-contained, and shipped with tests; the single inline finding is a test-style nit that does not affect correctness.

[claude]

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 the removed CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID path for FIFO/socket/char destinations: sendfile/splice report an O_APPEND destination as EINVAL, and the existing EINVAL arm still falls back to the read/write loop when nothing has been written, so those paths keep working without the F_SETFL mutation. An fcntl failure inside is_writable_append leaves the original EBADF propagating (fail-closed), the flags as i32 cast matches the existing update_nonblocking pattern in src/sys/lib.rs, and destination_file_store.is_atty still has readers in src/runtime/webcore/FileReader.rs, so dropping its use here does not leave a dead field.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the Linux/Android kernel-copy path in src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs (new EBADF fallback gated on a writable O_APPEND destination, removal of the fcntl F_SETFL retry) plus four new tests in test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js; no security-sensitive surface. The inline findings already signal that a human should weigh the slice-to-O_APPEND behaviour change; this note only records the additional refactor-safety checks that were examined and ruled out.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push (the is_writable_append helper now reads through bun_sys::O, which closes my earlier nit) and found no bugs; since this changes Bun.write's observable behaviour on Linux and deliberately drops the old O_APPEND-clearing workaround, a maintainer's call on that design is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The new EBADF arm only fires for fd destinations: a path destination is opened with OPEN_DESTINATION_FLAGS (O_TRUNC, no O_APPEND), so the ftruncate in read_write_fallback's bun_opened_dest branch cannot reach an O_APPEND file.
• Removing the CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID dispatch leaves no dangling references; destination_file_store.is_atty is still consumed by FileReader.rs, and the tty/sendfile EINVAL case is covered by the pre-existing total_written == 0 fallback.
• O::ACCMODE is now defined for every cfg the O module already covers (unix + windows); get_fcntl_flags returns Maybe<isize>, so the is_ok_and / as i32 shape is sound.
• The four tests exercise >>, "a"/"a+" fds above 64 KiB, the read-only-destination negative contract, and the shared-tty description; the Linux-only ones are gated with skipIf(!isLinux).

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs (new EBADF match arm guarded by a writable-O_APPEND fcntl check, removal of the const-generic CLEAR_APPEND_IF_INVALID path that mutated the destination's file status flags), adds a unix O::ACCMODE constant to src/sys/lib.rs, and adds four tests to test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive part is syscall fallback logic on fds the user controls. The only change since my last review is a 4-line commit that addresses my own inline nit. I did not approve because the PR changes user-visible semantics of Bun.write (EBADF rejections become successful appends, and the GNU make O_APPEND workaround is removed), and the author's own notes present the flag-check guard versus fallback-on-every-EBADF as a choice for a maintainer; no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files.

Reject a zero-byte write after consuming source data.

The EBADF fallback is reachable for the supported O_APPEND Bun.write paths. If bun_sys::write(dest_fd, slice) returns 0 for a non-empty slice, read_write_loop_capped returns Ok(()) after advancing the source, but reports only the bytes written before that call. Bun.write can therefore resolve with a short count and lose the unreadable source progress.

Suggested fix

-                0 => return Ok(()),

On the review finding about a zero-byte write in read_write_loop_capped:

• That arm is existing code on main, and this PR does not change it. The second read/write loop, copy_file_using_read_write_loop in node_fs.rs, also ends the copy without an error when write returns 0. An error there is a behaviour change for every fallback path (macOS, FreeBSD, Linux fd destinations), so I leave it out of this PR.
• The new EBADF arm reaches the loop only with a regular file as the destination. copy_file_range reports a pipe or a device with O_APPEND as EINVAL (checked on kernel 6.1 for /dev/null, /dev/full and a pipe).
• A regular file that cannot take more data gives an error, not a zero count. Checked with ulimit -f 64 and a 100000-byte source under >> log: the log grows to the 65536-byte limit and the promise rejects with EFBIG from write.
