perf(runtime): eliminate redundant asyncpipe microtask work - #8570
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime now tracks microtask pump and promise-job depths separately, suppresses redundant same-thread wakeups during job draining, and routes promise work through a dedicated notification path. ChangesPromise runtime scheduling and combinators
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This changes promise scheduling and the optimized Promise.all behavior. The fast path may mishandle applications that override inherited Promise.prototype.then, while related regression tests may be unsafe across garbage collection and may not verify reaction completion. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and test-reliability issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Assert that the queued reaction completes.
observed_clean_drain currently checks only NOTIFIED, so the test can pass even if the queued Task::Promise is dropped or never executed. Running tests serially does not establish that this reaction completed. Keep the returned chained promise rooted across the checkpoint and require it to be fulfilled while confirming that no notification remains.

Root test promises across collecting calls.
array_of allocates while shared_value is only a Rust local. The two run_all calls can also collect while shared, first, and second are raw locals. A moving collection can leave these values stale before the resolve call or assertions.
Root each live NaN-boxed promise with RuntimeHandleScope. Update array_of to root its input values before js_array_alloc. Reload each handle immediately before reuse.
Based on learnings: “Rust stack locals are not conservatively scanned” and values must be rooted and reloaded after collection-capable operations. As per coding guidelines: “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

Merging. Both audited against the specific hazard their class carries, not just "the tests pass". #8570 — the failure mode here is a hang, not a wrong answer, so the question is whether a needed wakeup can ever be suppressed. It cannot: #8573 — same exact-ShapeId guard class that produced #8577 and #8578 within two days, so I read the gate order rather than the benchmark. It acquire-loads the prototype-mutation latch, validates pointer form and target heap range before any dereference, then checks GC kind, forwarding state, the per-object descriptor bit, nonzero/exact class id and exact ShapeId — with dynamic fallback on every failed proof. Fail-closed at each step, and scoping descriptor invalidation to the receiver and relevant prototype mutations is the right narrowing: an unrelated object's descriptor can affect neither method resolution nor the ShapeId proof.
Ratchets re-run against the current baseline immediately before merge. Also PR-keyed #8570's changelog fragment, which was named Standing caveat on both: these are perf changes validated for correctness, not measured on the quiet-host corpus — that rebuild is currently blocked on disk. #8573's own numbers are explicitly labelled paired qualification on a contended host rather than a release baseline, which is the honest framing. |
