quest: plan connection-blocked writer fixes from the QUIC audit by kixelated · Pull Request #6363 · moq-dev/moq

kixelated · 2026-10-22T18:17:27Z

Summary

This PR plans work from an external audit of the in-tree QUIC stack. It adds Connection-blocked writers end cleanly as an [S] child of the m1 "Own the QUIC stack" epic. The quest covers two audit findings, both confirmed against main:

Leak: Streams::connection_blocked is drained only when connection credit comes back. A stream that is reset or freed while blocked keeps its entry. A peer that grants streams but never sends MAX_DATA can therefore make a relay hold an entry for every group it cancels, with no bound.
Hidden STOP_SENDING: SendStream::write_source returns Blocked on limit == 0 before it checks stop_reason. A parked writer therefore sleeps through a stop that has already arrived.

Declined: the audit's qmux finding that closed() resolves before the batch is submitted. The quest's Plan records the reason.

Already tracked, so no new quests:

Incomplete-message bounds: moq-dev/moq#5878, tracked by quest/m1/quic/receive-memory.md.
io_uring gaps: moq-dev/moq#6350.
qmux graceful shutdown: moq-dev/moq#6339.
The memlock test failures: moq-uring errors already name RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, and the relay io_uring package quest sets the limit.

No public API or wire impact.

Decisions

Findings 1+2 tracking

✅ One [S] m1/quic child
One quest in m0
Two separate quests

Leak fix

✅ Remove on stream end (an insertion-ordered set, O(1) removal)
Scan live streams when credit returns

Finding 3 (qmux completion before submission)

✅ Decline
Quest it in m1
Fold into fix(qmux): drain peer data during graceful stream shutdown #6339

quest check passes.

Walkthrough

The QUIC quest documentation now lists connection-blocked writer cleanup and STOP_SENDING behavior under exhausted connection credit as remaining and required work. A new quest document describes the planned changes, regression tests, and decision not to change qmux’s closed() behavior after FIN serialization.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 96cb3

The quest now describes a regression test that exercises the reported leak, and the README correctly identifies the fix as future work. No actionable risk introduced by this PR remains.

Summary: this adds [S] Connection-blocked writers end cleanly under m1/quic. It covers two confirmed findings from the QUIC audit: the connection_blocked leak, and STOP_SENDING hidden behind Blocked. The fix ties blocked-set membership to stream lifetime, and terminal stream state is checked before connection flow control.

Declined: the QMux finding that completion fires before the batch is submitted. QMux has no ACKs, so Ok only ever meant "handed off locally".

Applied CodeRabbit's note: the leak regression test now blocks each stream with a write before freeing it.

#5878 lands first and retires the QUIC epic with its last child, so the connection-blocked quest from #6363 becomes a top-level m1 quest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
