Tokio removal, lane A part 2: this moves the node:http / node:https / node:http2 server onto turnloop only and deletes the perry-ext-http → hyper and perry-ext-http → hyper-util edges. Group A in scripts/tokio_inventory.json is now closed. It builds on #11105 (perry-ext-net off tokio, turnloop_net::adopt_stream), which landed in train 266.

What changed

Since P5, turnloop_serve / turnloop_h2 have served every server. Hyper was only a fallback, and each of its cases now goes to turnloop:

hyper fallback now
A thread that doesn't own its agent's loop built its own hyper accept loop listen() is posted to the owner thread through perry_ffi::agent_post (turnloop_serve::post_to_owner). This is the same route as perry-ext-net's turnloop_io::on_loop. The listen(cb) callback is registered and rooted right away. The 'listening' emit is armed only when the owner's bind succeeds, and the callback is withdrawn if the bind fails. If there is no loop at all (Loop::new failed), the server emits 'error' with listen ENOTSUP.
SCHED_RR cluster worker (Node's default off Windows): spawn_rr_inject_loop served the primary's fds with hyper The descriptor bridge thread hands each fd to the loop with turnloop_net::adopt_stream. turnloop_serve::adopt_connection then starts it through the same start_connection a turnloop-accepted connection uses: same 'connection' event, codec, idle deadline and response path. server.close() stops the bridge.
A turnloop bind error fell back to a hyper rebind, which failed the same way Reported once

Also deleted:

  • the hyper HTTP/1.1, HTTPS and HTTP/2 accept loops and service fns
  • raw_upgrade.rs, websocket_upgrade.rs (tokio-tungstenite) and io_activity.rs
  • the CONNECTIONS registry
  • tokio's type vocabulary in the server structs: ServerResponse::{response_tx, stream_tx, stream_in_flight, connection_close, transport_destroyed}, HttpServer::{shutdown_tx, request_rx, upgrade_rx}, Http2StreamHandle::response_tx, ShapeBody::{Stream, Eof}. The inventory's tokio row called this "a separable second step"; it is done here too.

HyperResponseShape is renamed to ResponseShape and its body is now a plain Vec<u8>. src/server/ contains no tokio:: code. perry-ext-http also drops http-body-util and socket2. Diff: 37 files, +825 / −3566. Root Cargo.toml is untouched; Cargo.lock only loses entries.

Behaviour that leaves with the fallback. The default turnloop HTTPS path never had these, so they were only reachable on the declined path:

  • https.Server 'keylog' and 'tlsClientError' events
  • req.socket.servername and the peer-cert CN forwarded by the in-process client's x-perry-internal-tls-* headers. The server-side consumer internal_https_token_for_port is deleted; the client still sends the headers.

Porting these onto perry-ext-net's turnloop TLS session is follow-up work. It needs an SNI / failure accessor on turnloop_tls_io.

One more edge-case difference: http2.createSecureServer with unusable TLS material used to mark itself listening before refusing on the hyper path. It now refuses without marking itself listening.

Inventory

python3 scripts/tokio_inventory.py --update:

  • Edges: 13 → 11. Removed: perry-ext-http→hyper, perry-ext-http→hyper-util.
  • perry-ext-http tokio-touching source files: 103 → 43.
  • The perry-ext-http→tokio (D) and →tokio-rustls (C) rows are reworded. Only the node:http/https client (plan C) holds them now; the server reaches tokio on no thread.

scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json drops 3 exemptions whose holders are deleted: PENDING_TLS_CLIENT_ERRORS, PENDING_TLS_KEYLOGS, CONNECTIONS.

Validation

All runs are on perrymaster (Linux), with Node 26.5.1 from /opt/node-v26.5.1-linux-x64.

Gap A/B. Base is train 266 head b75e6a6eb; the branch was built the same way. The runner is PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1 PERRY_BIN=… PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR=… ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter X. The harness re-enables auto-optimize for ext-routed fixtures, so the rebuilt perry-ext-http wrapper is what gets linked.

  • 73 tests, selected with ls test-files | grep -iE "http|tls|cluster|upgrade|websocket|_ws_|keep_?alive|pipelin|trailer|expect_continue|checkcontinue|chunked".
  • Outcomes are identical per test in both arms: 49 PASS, 20 PARITY_FAIL, 2 CRASH, 3 NODE_FAIL, 1 SKIPPED. Every non-pass also fails on the base.
  • cluster_4962 (the SCHED_RR descriptor-passing e2e) passes on the branch. That is the path adopt_connection now serves.

node-suite A/B for http,https,http2,cluster, per test:

  • Both arms: 100/204 pass (http 19/54, https 12/47, http2 27/60, cluster 42/43). The pass/diff/error sets are identical.
  • Every non-passing test's stdout and exit code were diffed between arms. 126 tests (gap failures plus node-suite non-passes) were compiled with both arms: 126/126 byte-identical.

Checking that the A/B isn't vacuous. nm on the linked libperry_ext_http.a:

arm hyper::server symbols spawn_rr_inject_loop turnloop_serve::post_to_owner adopt_connection
base 7 6 0 0
branch 0 0 1 2

After rebasing onto main 3ede2abb7 (the only overlapping change on main was Cargo.lock): I rebuilt and re-ran cluster_4962, test_gap_turnloop_http_server and test_gap_turnloop_https_server. All three pass. cargo metadata --locked is OK.

Unit tests, cargo test --release -p perry-ext-http: 145 pass, 1 fail. The failure is tls_client::tests::needs_custom_client_logic, which also fails on the base (base: 151 pass, same failure). Test-list differences:

  • Added: listen_reaches_the_loop_on_every_route (asserts whichever of owned / posted / ENOTSUP route the harness thread lands on), a_withdrawn_listen_callback_leaves_nothing_behind, no_loop_message_names_the_operation.
  • Deleted with the code they covered: nodelay_tests::* (2), raw_upgrade::tests::* (2), io_activity::tests::* (3), status_code_const_matches_from_u16, keylog_records_are_nss_formatted_and_drained_once.

Windows: cargo xwin check -p perry-ext-http -p perry-runtime -p perry-ffi --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc passes in both arms. I used cargo-xwin v0.23.0 with LLVM 22 clang-cl / lld-link (a private install, not CI's). perry-ext-http shows the same 3 pre-existing cluster_bind dead-code warnings in both arms.

Lint: cargo fmt --all -- --check, check_file_size.sh, gc_runtime_root_holders.py and tokio_inventory.py (plus --self-test) all pass. SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: 87 of 88 script gates pass; the compile tier was not run. The one failure is the harness's own cargo-xwin step (cargo xwin check -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib), which isn't installed on the host; I ran the targeted xwin check above instead.

Not run

  • A full gap sweep. This host stalls on one; I ran the 73-test filtered set above.
  • The posted-listen route end to end in a real embedder: an Android perry-native UI thread or a host pump thread. Only the unit test covers it, and it asserts whichever route its thread gets.
  • A host where Loop::new fails.
  • A real Windows machine; only the xwin type-check.
  • Any macOS run.
  • Perf / instruction counts. The default path's code is unchanged except the ResponseShape body (Vec<u8> instead of an enum), so I didn't measure.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 servers now handle connections through a unified server path, including WebSocket and raw socket upgrades.
    • Servers can be started from threads that don’t own the event loop; supported cluster workers can also serve incoming connections.
    • HTTP responses now support sending 100 Continue.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Server bind failures are reported without attempting a fallback bind.
    • Unsupported listening scenarios now report an explicit error.

…per + hyper-util

WIP: the hyper accept loops (HTTP/1.1, HTTPS, HTTP/2), the raw-upgrade
peeler, the tokio-tungstenite attached-WebSocket path and the SCHED_RR
fd-inject loop are gone. A thread that does not own its agent's loop posts
listen() to the owner; SCHED_RR descriptors are adopted onto the loop via
turnloop_net::adopt_stream.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 server paths now bind and serve through turnloop, including owner-thread posting and cluster-worker descriptor adoption. The change removes Hyper/Tokio server fallbacks and channel-based response delivery, and updates request, upgrade, TLS, and dependency tracking code.

Changes

HTTP server transport migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Turnloop listener ownership and bind routing
crates/perry-ext-http/Cargo.toml, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server/*, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/https_server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/http2_server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_serve/*, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/cluster_bind.rs, scripts/tokio_inventory.json, changelog.d/11144-ext-http-server-turnloop-only.md
HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 listen operations bind through turnloop or post the bind to the loop owner. SCHED_RR workers adopt passed descriptors through turnloop. Deferred listen callbacks are registered or withdrawn with bind outcomes. The Hyper server dependencies and server-side Tokio inventory edges are removed.
Turnloop request and protocol handling
crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/https_server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/http2_server/*, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/raw_upgrade.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server/io_activity.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server/websocket_upgrade.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/upgrade.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/tls.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/request.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/tls_client.rs
Request and upgrade dispatch use turnloop queues. Hyper request handlers, legacy raw-upgrade handling, TLS event queues, and related connection state are removed. Internal HTTPS token lookup uses the URL-based path, which requires a loopback host.
Response shape and turnloop delivery
crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response_turnloop.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response_fast.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response_tests.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response_end.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_route.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_serve/*, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_h2/stream.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/http2_server/dispatch.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/http2_server/pump.rs
HyperResponseShape is replaced by ResponseShape with a Vec<u8> body. Buffered responses and streaming writes use turnloop connections instead of response channels. HTTP/2 dispatch and synthesized default responses use the updated shape.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c1f36

This change moves HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 servers onto the new connection layer, but several listening and streaming paths regress. An HTTP/2 server listening on an occupied port reports that it is listening and runs the listen callback. An HTTPS bind failure never emits 'error'. HTTPS 'upgrade' handlers never run. Piped HTTP/2 responses can stall waiting for 'drain'. A briefly busy owner thread can make listen() fail as if no event loop were available. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Ready for a train (tokio lane A2): removes perry-ext-http→hyper/hyper-util, taking the tokio inventory from 13 to 11 edges. It touches perry-ext-http only, not root Cargo.toml. The gap A/B over 73 tests and the node-suite http/https/http2/cluster run (204 tests) give identical per-test results on both arms, and cargo xwin check passes. Only the hyper fallback had the HTTPS 'keylog'/'tlsClientError' events and servername forwarding; the default turnloop path never did. That gap is described as follow-up work in the body.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/http2_server.rs`:
- Around line 543-546: Update both `try_listen_on_turnloop` checks in
`listen_http2_server` to treat `Some` with id 0 as a failed bind, so it does not
queue the listening emit or set `listening` true; only a nonzero id indicates
success. Also avoid reporting `None` as unavailable TLS configuration when it
can mean `err.no_loop`.

In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/https_server.rs`:
- Around line 290-412: When `turnloop_serve::listen` fails,
`turnloop_https_listen` logs the bind error but does not queue it for HTTPS
error listeners. In its `Err(err)` branch, call `queue_listen_error_parts` with
the server handle, host, port, and error details before returning false.

In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/response.rs`:
- Around line 927-929: Update stream_write_with_cb and turnloop_route::send_body
to distinguish an unavailable stream from a successfully queued HTTP/2 write
that hit backpressure; keep the latter on the streaming path and set needs_drain
so the write callback is recorded. Update take_drain_listeners_if_ready to
consider the HTTP/2 stream outbox watermark alongside the transport queue.

In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs`:
- Around line 1252-1254: Update fire_upgrade_listeners to resolve HttpsServer
handles as well as HttpServer handles, so HTTPS upgrades fire their listeners
and release adopted upgrade handles; preserve the shared TURNLOOP_UPGRADES drain
flow.

In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_serve/mod.rs`:
- Around line 179-200: In adopt_connection, release the id reserved by next_id()
with perry_ffi::free_handle_id(id) when tl::adopt_stream fails, before
returning; leave the existing socket ownership and early-return behavior
unchanged.
- Around line 147-160: Update post_to_owner to distinguish permanent NoRoute
rejection from exhausted transient retries; return a distinct result for
exhaustion rather than treating it as no loop. Keep retries bounded and use
backoff, and update the HTTP and HTTP/2 listen paths to map only NoRoute to
NO_LOOP_CODE.

…ing; distinguish busy postbox from no loop

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #11144:
- http2: a bind failure (Some((0, ..))) was treated as success and fired
  listening + the listen(cb) callback; https only printed to stderr. Both
  now queue the server error event, like http.Server.listen.
- post_to_owner returns Accepted / NoRoute / Busy; only NoRoute is ENOTSUP,
  an exhausted retry budget is EAGAIN. Retries back off after 16 yields.
- free the reserved id when adopt_stream refuses a SCHED_RR descriptor.
- test_gap_listen_eaddrinuse.ts: fails on c1f36c2, matches Node 26.5.1.

…qwest and tokio-rustls

client_turnloop (src/client_turnloop/) now carries every shape the reqwest
path did plus the three raw tokio TcpStream bypasses: request bodies,
options.timeout / req.setTimeout as tl::timer_arm deadlines, https via
perry_tls_session::TlsSession with the Node verifier tls_client builds,
Agent keep-alive with physical reuse (release only after End and
Decoder::reusable), NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY (absolute-form / CONNECT tunnel),
TE: trailers, Expect: 100-continue and Connection: Upgrade (101 hands the
handle to net with turnloop_net::transfer). A thread that does not own the
loop posts to the owner; no loop at all reports ENOTSUP.

reqwest and tokio-rustls leave perry-ext-http; with #11144 already landed,
reqwest, hyper, hyper-util, hyper-rustls, h2, tower and tower-http leave
Cargo.lock. tokio inventory: 11 -> 9 edges, 14 -> 7 lockfile packages.
