Synchronous writes sleep for one second when send returns EAGAIN. This adds avoidable latency whenever a nonblocking socket buffer fills. Wait for POLLOUT before retrying so writes resume as soon as the socket can accept more data. Retry the write after poll wakes so peer-close errors reach the existing connection error handling. Preserve the one-second wait bound and 30-attempt limit. Signed-off-by: Stefano Tondo <stondo@gmail.com>
Use small nonblocking socket pairs to exercise temporary backpressure and a peer closing while the writer waits. Verify writes resume promptly and closed connections preserve a critical socket error. SO_SNDBUF is only a hint, so prefill each socket until send() reports EAGAIN before the write under test. This guarantees the writability wait is exercised on platforms that round the send buffer up.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Remove the stray comment word and separate real send errors from backpressure.
Two problems exist in prefill_socket:
- Line 339 contains the word "ponytail". It is a leftover artifact and carries no meaning for a reader of this test.
- The
elsebranch returnstotalfor every failure that is notEINTR. A real failure such asEPIPEorENOBUFSis then reported as successful backpressure, and the caller assertsprefilled > 0and continues. Return the queued byte count only forEAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK. Return 0 for other errors so the caller stops.
🧹 Proposed fix
while (total < TEST_PREFILL_LIMIT) {
bytes_sent = send(fd, chunk, sizeof(chunk), 0);
if (bytes_sent > 0) {
total += bytes_sent;
}

Summary
Replace the one-second sleep used by synchronous nonblocking socket writes
after
EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCKwith a boundedPOLLOUTwait.Fixes #12115
Root cause
fd_io_write()currently sleeps for one full second wheneversend()orsendto()temporarily fills a nonblocking socket buffer. A large response canhit that path repeatedly, adding one second per backpressure event even when
the socket becomes writable much sooner.
Changes
POLLOUTfor at most one second before retrying;WSAPollon Windows, matching the existing network implementation;propagation using small nonblocking socket pairs.
Compatibility
There is no configuration or API change. The one-second upper bound and
30-attempt limit remain unchanged. The writer now resumes promptly when the
socket becomes writable instead of always waiting the full second.
The regression tests are POSIX-only because they use
socketpair()andpthreads. The Windows source path uses the same
WSAPollpattern present insrc/flb_network.c.Testing
Commands:
The tests ran in the documented Debian 12 rootless Podman environment. The
explicit AVX2 flag is a GCC 12 compatibility workaround for bundled
simdutf,not part of this change.
Results:
flb-it-network: passed 10 consecutive iterations;elapsed-time assertion, as expected;
EPIPE,ECONNRESET, orENOTCONNinstead ofreturning with stale
EAGAIN;git diff --check: passed;Live syscall evidence from the original reproduction:
