A zero-copy range sender accounts for partial progress reported with syscall errors: would-block may accompany successfully transmitted range bytes · case 01
A zero-copy range sender accounts for partial progress reported with syscall errors: would-block may accompany successfully transmitted range bytes.
ROOT CAUSE
The sendfile-range-events-again-progress decision uses offset=x['offset'] remaining=x['remaining'] state='running' opened=True out=[] for accepted,error in x['events']: if state in ('complete','aborted','truncated'): out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue if accepted<0 or accepted>remaining: state='aborted' opened=False out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue offset+=accepted if error!='again' else 0 remaining-=accepted if error!='again' else 0 if error=='fatal': state='aborted' elif remaining==0: state='complete' elif error=='again': state='blocked' elif error=='interrupt': state='running' elif accepted==0: state='truncated' else: state='running' opened=state not in ('complete','aborted','truncated') out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) return out.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Apply the bounded decision exactly: offset=x['offset'] remaining=x['remaining'] state='running' opened=True out=[] for accepted,error in x['events']: if state in ('complete','aborted','truncated'): out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue if accepted<0 or accepted>remaining: state='aborted' opened=False out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue offset+=accepted remaining-=accepted if error=='fatal': state='aborted' elif remaining==0: state='complete' elif error=='again': state='blocked' elif error=='interrupt': state='running' elif accepted==0: state='truncated' else: state='running' opened=state not in ('complete','aborted','truncated') out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) return out
Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair uses offset=x['offset'] remaining=x['remaining'] state='running' opened=True out=[] for accepted,error in x['events']: if state in ('complete','aborted','truncated'): out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue if accepted<0 or accepted>remaining: state='aborted' opened=False out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) continue offset+=accepted remaining-=accepted if error!='again' else 0 if error=='fatal': state='aborted' elif remaining==0: state='complete' elif error=='again': state='blocked' elif error=='interrupt': state='running' elif accepted==0: state='truncated' else: state='running' opened=state not in ('complete','aborted','truncated') out.append([offset,remaining,state,opened]) return out, which still violates the stated contract.
Case contract
x contains absolute offset, remaining promised bytes, and syscall events [accepted,error], where error is none,again,interrupt,fatal. Counts outside0..remaining abort without advancing. Valid accepted bytes advance even when again or interrupt accompanies them. Fatal errors abort; zero remaining completes; again blocks; interrupt reschedules; zero bytes with none truncates. Terminal states ignore later events. Return state snapshots [offset,remaining,state,handle-open] after each event.
Why this case matters
Range responses combine representation identity, conditional requests, framing, and partial-object state.

Verification & scope
Deterministic simplified range service, with stipulated local policies and already parsed trusted inputs; not a complete HTTP implementation. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
