From 594362f49d33bd0746cd134c87ae93cbc79a5b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kayossouza Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 20:06:03 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] abort_controller: fix AbortSignal.any() memory leak MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fix unbounded memory growth in AbortSignal.any() when called in tight loops without abort listeners. Root cause: Signals were being added to gcPersistentSignals immediately in AbortSignal.any(), preventing garbage collection even when no abort listeners existed. The gcPersistentSignals set would grow unbounded, causing OOM crashes in production (36 MB → 1.3 GB reported). Fix: Remove premature addition of signals to gcPersistentSignals. Signals are now only added when abort listeners are actually registered (via kNewListener), which was the intended behavior. Memory impact: - Before: ~1.5 MB growth per 1,000 iterations → OOM at ~300k iterations - After: Stable memory with normal GC variance No breaking changes. Behavior with abort listeners remains identical. Signals without listeners can now be properly garbage collected.
