Naman Trivedi 0700e749eb http: emit drain on socket takeover and avoid stale HWM reuse
When OutgoingMessage transitions from pre-socket buffering (Path B) to
socket-connected writing (Path A), the backpressure domain changes —
subsequent writes go directly to the socket, which enforces its own
backpressure via socket.write() return values.  The OM should emit
drain at this transition point to signal that its buffer is clear and
the caller can resume writing under the socket backpressure regime.

Previously, _flush() gated drain emission on writableLength === 0
which included socket.writableLength.  This conflated two independent
backpressure domains: the OM pre-socket buffer and the socket kernel
write queue.  When the socket had a higher writableHighWaterMark than
the OM (e.g. agent-reused socket from a prior request), the socket
was never backpressured and never emitted drain, causing a permanent
deadlock.

Additionally, avoid reusing a pooled socket in http.Agent when its
writableHighWaterMark differs from the request highWaterMark, so that
the user backpressure threshold is respected for the common case of
the built-in Agent.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests that use --abort-on-uncaught-exception and other cases where we want to avoid generating a core file.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark Yes Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common N/A Common modules shared among many tests.1
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures N/A Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections.2
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic Node-API functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system.3
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific Node-API functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
sequential Yes Various tests that must not run in parallel.
testpy N/A Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
tick-processor No Tests for the V8 tick processor integration.4
v8-updates No Tests for V8 performance integration.

  2. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎

  3. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status. ↩︎

  4. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/main/prof_process.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
