refactor(ftp): drive every protected data channel through one primitive - #660
Merged
Conversation
Four sites read a data channel under surveillance today, and each carries its own copy of the same forty lines: the control watch, the deadline, what an expiry means, reading the refusal that is waiting, and giving the channel away on the way out. `DataChannel` takes all of that; the loop stays with the caller. The loop stays because the four do not agree on what a chunk is. Three read into a buffer of their own and copy it somewhere; `read_range` reads straight into `&mut buf[total_read..]`, a moving slice of its own destination. A primitive that owned the buffer would have fitted three and broken the fourth, so the caller passes the slice it wants. `read_range` was converted first for that reason: it is the one that could falsify the shape, and converting an easy site first would have proved nothing. Handing the loop back opens a door a closure would have kept shut. The caller's body is full of `?`, and an early return there drops the channel without running any cleanup, because dropping a future does not execute what follows the await. `Drop` cannot abort, since aborting speaks on the wire and `Drop` is not async, so it does the one thing available synchronously and takes the session away. A session that is thrown away costs a reconnect; a session in an unknown state costs a wrong answer delivered as a right one. This is not a pure no-op, and the three divergences are named in the pull request body rather than left to be found.

…e loop ends Review found the gap: `finish()` handed the stream back before the local flush or commit, and those can fail. A `?` there dropped an unfinalised data stream while the session stayed alive, so the `226` was left unread for the next command to collect as its own answer. It has teeth on `download_single`, where `commit` renames and fsyncs and so fails on a full disk or across devices, and it is the class this whole line of work exists to remove. The remedy is to release the channel later rather than to finalise earlier: the disk work now happens while the channel is still alive, so its `Drop` covers that failure like any other. Nothing is reordered, so no side effect changes which side of a failure it lands on. What remains between `finish` and `finalize` is now one `?` at each of the four sites, `self.stream.as_mut().ok_or(NotConnected)`, which can only fire when the session has already gone and there is nothing left to poison. The defect predates this branch: on `main` the same failure dropped the stream and left the session alive, because there was no channel to notice. Closing it here rather than later is deliberate. This is the pull request that introduces the guarantee, and the next one puts five more callers on top of it: an unnamed exception costs two call sites now and nine after that.

`abandon` set `settled` before awaiting `abandon_transfer`. Dropped while that await was pending, and it waits for an ABOR and its reply, the flag was already true: `Drop` read the channel as dealt with and left the session alive, with its control channel halfway through an ABOR for the next command to finish reading. The guard against being dropped was switched off by being dropped. Setting it last is correct in both directions. If the abort completes, `abandon_transfer` has already decided and applied the verdict, so `Drop` has nothing to add. If it is dropped in flight, nothing decided anything, and poisoning is exactly right. Moving the assignment is enough here because `Drop` only takes the session; it does not read `data`, which is taken before the await and would be `None` in that case anyway. No regression test, and the reason rather than the omission: the only observable is `provider.stream` being cleared, which requires it to be `Some`, and that field holds a live `AsyncRustlsFtpStream` that exists only after a real handshake. Built the way the unit tests build a provider, with no stream, `abandon_transfer` returns before its first suspension point and the test would pass with or without this fix. It belongs with the live battery, against a server that accepts an ABOR and does not answer it.

#663) **The wait was never in the loop.** Measured on `main`, three runs of three against the FTPS lab: a download of a file the server refuses hangs with the control socket holding an unread reply and the data socket showing `bytes_sent 388`, `bytes_received 0`. 388 out and none back is a TLS ClientHello nobody answered, so the wait is inside the data connection's handshake, which happens BEFORE the first read. `read_watching_control` guards the read loop, and the loop is never reached. #660 gave nine sites a guarded loop; this gives them a guarded opening, which is where the defect lives. **Two unbounded awaits, and both are covered.** In the crate's `data_command`, active mode is bounded by `active_timeout`, but the passive connect (`passive_stream_builder`) and the TLS upgrade (`tls_ctx.connect`) are not. Only the second was measured. The first is the one that matters on a **plaintext** session, where there is no handshake to hang in, and no measurement in this campaign has ever exercised the plaintext path: it is not that there are no defects there, it is that nobody has looked. Bounding only the measured one would have closed the case we had seen and left the case we had not. **`open_with_cap` bounds and does nothing else, and that is a correction.** The first version classified the failure too. Writing the SECOND caller showed why that was wrong: `STOR` maps with `map_store_error` and the others with `classify_data_failure`, so a helper that classified would have changed that site's behaviour silently. It is the second consumer that reveals an abstraction doing one thing too many; the first cannot, because whatever the helper does is what that caller wanted. **What happens when the cap expires, and why the session usually survives.** The command is already on the wire and its reply unread: `pasv()` reads its own `227`, but `perform(cmd)` reads nothing. So `after_timed_out_open` looks before it concludes. The `Recv-Q` of 55 during the measured hang decomposes exactly as a TLS 1.2 AES-GCM record carrying `550 Failed to open file.\r\n`: 5 header + 8 nonce + 26 payload + 16 tag. Consistent, not proof, but it says the likely case is that the server refused long ago, which is precisely why it never serviced the data port. So the cap does not produce a quick failure; it produces the server's own reason, which was there to be read. **Four conditions, and a named silence.** The session is kept only when the reply is parsed WHOLE, is FINAL, belongs HERE, and does not announce the channel closing. That last one is `421`, "service not available, closing control connection": a `4xx`, final, legitimately present, and kept by every earlier version of this condition, while the server was saying the channel was going away. This arm has now been narrowed four times, and the sequence is the useful part. Keeping on any error was right about "something failed" and silent on whether a whole reply arrived. Keeping on the error VARIANT was right about that and silent on finality. Keeping on the STATUS CLASS was right about finality and silent on the connection surviving. **Each discriminant was correct for the property it was chosen for and mute on the next**, which is why it looked total every time: totality is answered with respect to one property at a time. So the question that matters for the fifth round is not "does this cover every case" but **"which property is this discriminant silent about"**. This one is silent about WHOSE reply it is: FTP carries no request identifier, so a reply queued here could belong to an earlier command answered late, and consuming it as ours would leave our own still owed. Nothing in reach distinguishes them, so it is named in the code rather than claimed closed. **And the session is discarded whenever it cannot be handed on**, which is what makes the cap safe: - a complete reply was parsed: it was consumed whole, the control channel is aligned again, the session survives; - the collection produced nothing readable: `read_response_in` is not cancellation-safe and may have been dropped mid-line, so the session goes; - nothing was queued at all: the reply is still owed, and a session one answer behind hands the next question somebody else's answer. The session goes. The second of those is a CATCH-ALL, not a third named case, and that is deliberate. `BadResponse`, a connection error, and any variant a later version of the crate might add do not share a meaning; they share the absence of one, since none of them establishes that the control channel is aligned. So the default discards, because the safe side is the one that does not assume. It is the same asymmetry as the write-side record types with the sign reversed: there the safe default was to keep writing, here it is to throw the session away, and in both the safe default is the branch that claims to know least. **Listings get a TOTAL cap, not an inactivity one.** A transfer wants inactivity, because a large file legitimately takes hours and a total cap would kill it. A listing has an intrinsic size, so an inactivity bound would never fire against a server that dribbles a row at a time. The expiry is returned as an `FtpError` so the three listing sites treat it exactly as they already treat a refusal: `MLSD` marks itself broken and falls through to `LIST`, which has its own cap. **The two numbers, with what they rest on.** `OPEN_BUDGET` is 30s, chosen to sit far from both measured edges: a healthy open against the lab completes in 0.116s and the hang was still unresolved at 120s, which was the probe's cap rather than a limit of the wait. `LIST_BUDGET` is 300s and is **reasoned, not measured**: it is a liveness limit, not a performance one, and it has NOT been checked against a pathological listing such as a hundred thousand entries over a slow link. Raising it is safe; lowering it is not. If a truncated listing is ever reported, this is the first place to look, not the network. It deliberately does not copy the twin's `list_timeout` of 30s in `src/ftp.rs`, which is the number we suspect may already be truncating legitimate listings there: copying it would have inherited the answer without asking the question. **This bounds ONE opening, and a transfer makes as many as the caller asks for.** Measured against a permanent stall (23), counting openings while varying `--retries`: 0 gives 2, 1 gives 2, 2 gives 4, 3 gives 6, 5 gives 10. So the count is `2 x max(1, retries)`: two openings per attempt, times the attempts the caller chose. The 6 first observed was simply 2 x 3, the default, and quoting it as a constant would have made a caller's setting look like a property of the client. The user-visible worst case is therefore `2 x retries x OPEN_BUDGET`: about 180s at the default, 600s with `--retries 10`. That multiplier is literally a knob the user turns, which settles where the number belongs: the cap is the only one of the two that does not depend on the caller, so lowering it to make the total tolerable would be answering a retry question with a transport constant, at the wrong layer. It is stated because whoever tunes `OPEN_BUDGET` is not setting one sixth of the worst case, they are setting a fraction that is not fixed, and a budget sized once against a user's patience does not stay sized. Either way it is bounded now, and it was not before: the same download did not finish at all. **Divergence on the four sites #660 called almost-no-op.** `download_to_bytes`, `resume_download`, `read_range` and `download_single` gain the opening cap here. Anyone who read #660 has "those four are unchanged" in mind, and nobody re-reads a closed pull request, so it is stated rather than left to be deduced. The five that had nothing gain it too, and `ftp_download_one_range`, which had a cancel token and no deadline at all, gains its first bound. **Out of scope, deliberately.** Driving the `LIST` loop ourselves and giving `STOR` its own surveillance are new behaviour with no inherited tests, and they answer a different question: this pull request asks "does the opening have a limit?", which is mechanical and uniform across nine sites, while that one asks "is the new behaviour right?". They are separated for the same reason #660 was separated from this. **Gate.** `cargo fmt`; `clippy --all-features --tests` clean; 36 `providers::ftp` tests pass. The live proof needs the stalling fixture, which is #662 and not yet on `main`; the lane that runs it comes with the test, and no code here depends on it. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Added time limits for FTP file transfers and directory listings. * Improved handling of stalled or unresponsive FTP operations, including directory listing and resumed or ranged transfers. * FTP sessions are now safely closed when recovery is not possible, reducing hangs and inconsistent connection states. * Prevented delayed server responses from interfering with subsequent FTP commands. * Improved recovery from failed data-channel connections. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

"The tests pass" is not evidence for this change, and that matters more here than usual. The 36 tests in
providers::ftpexerciseread_watching_controlandsession_after_abortDIRECTLY. They prove the machinery underneath is intact; they say nothing about whether four call sites were moved onto it faithfully, because none of them reaches the primitive through a call site. What carries the fidelity is the per-site diff below, and a reviewer who uses the green as the signal is using the most misleading green we could produce, precisely because it is true.What moved. Four sites read a data channel under surveillance today, each carrying its own copy of the same forty lines: the control watch, the deadline, the meaning of an expiry, reading the refusal that is already waiting, and giving the channel away on the way out.
DataChannelowns all of that. The loop stays with the caller.Why the loop stays, and why
read_rangewas converted first. The four do not agree on what a chunk is.download_to_bytes,resume_downloadanddownload_singleread into a buffer of their own and copy it somewhere;read_rangereads straight into&mut buf[total_read..], a moving slice of its own destination. A primitive that owned the buffer would have fitted three and broken the fourth.read_rangewent first because it is the only one that could falsify the shape: converting an easy site first would have passed either way and bought confidence without evidence. It came out at 45 lines to 8.Two divergences, measured rather than assumed. Both are reached by an early exit between opening the channel and releasing it, and both end the same way: the channel is dropped without being settled, so its
Droptakes the session and the next operation dials again. Counted by listing every?the CALLERS have in that span, not every exit that exists:read()has an internal one of its own, also covered.read_queued_refusalfails while collecting a refusal, which needs the control channel to have gone away underneath us. All four sites. Before: the?returned, the data stream was dropped without an abort, and the session stayed, in a state nobody had established.finalize:resume_download(file.write_all,file.flush) anddownload_single(atomic.write_all,atomic.commit). The other two sites have none. Before: same as above, the session survived unexamined.Both discard a session that used to be kept. That is the right direction and it is still a change: a session thrown away costs a reconnect, a session in an unknown state costs a wrong answer delivered as a right one, which is the failure this whole line of work exists to remove. Naming them is the point; a "no-op on four sites" would have been shorter and false.
The second half of divergence 2 came from review, and it is worth saying why it was closed here rather than later. The first version of this branch released the channel before the local flush or commit, so a failure there dropped an unfinalised stream while the session stayed alive, leaving the
226for the next command to read as its own answer. It has teeth ondownload_single, wherecommitrenames and fsyncs. It is not a regression: onmainthe same failure did the same thing, because there was no channel to notice. The remedy was to release the channel later rather than to finalise earlier, so nothing is reordered and no side effect changes which side of a failure it lands on. What remains in that span is one?per site,self.stream.as_mut().ok_or(NotConnected), which can only fire when the session has already gone. It was closed now because this is the pull request that introduces the guarantee and the next one puts five more callers on top of it: an unnamed exception costs two call sites today and nine afterwards.What happens when the caller does not close. Handing the loop back opens a door a closure would have kept shut. The caller's body is full of
?, and an early return there drops the channel without running any cleanup, because dropping a future does not execute the lines after the await. It is the same shape as the executor dropping a download mid-RETR, which is how a session ends up answering the next question with the previous answer.Dropcannot abort, since aborting has to speak on the wire andDropis not async, so it does the one thing available synchronously and takes the session. This was possible because no caller uses the provider for its own per-chunk work: the threeself.uses insideread_range's body were precisely the ones the primitive absorbed, so the channel can hold&mut FtpProviderfor its lifetime. The alternative, a flag someone has to remember to check, would have reintroduced downstream the "depends on the caller" that this removes.Scope. Only the four sites that already had the treatment. The five that do not, three
LIST/MLSDopenings, theSTOR, andftp_download_one_range, are a separate change: they GAIN behaviour they have never had, no existing test constrains the result, and asking a reviewer both "did anything change?" and "is the new behaviour right?" in one diff weakens both questions.Gate.
