HTTP/2 and HTTP/2 upload handling fixes#11342
Conversation
- fixes curl#11242 where 100% CPU on uploads was reported - fixes possible stalls on last part of a request body when that information could not be fully send on the connection due to an EAGAIN - applies the same EGAIN handling to HTTP/2 proxying

Thanks! |

Hi @icing 👋 Where could this unhandle-able condition originate (outside of curl)?
There are a few cases of this error popping up, where downgrading to HTTP/1 worked (GitLab.com customer confirms) and increasing buffer size was considered:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton
- https://velog.io/@alwls1357/GitHub-error-RPC-failed-curl-16
I see that this code is duplicated in lib/cf-h2-proxy.c, which I take to mean Cloudflare HTTP/2. However, I don't see CF being involved when tracerouteing the repo sources in the above-linked examples. CF hosts GitLab.com, though.
I'm wondering whether for example firewalls or proxy configs should be looked at to debug this. Thanks for any hints!

Hi @katrinleinweber, thanks for linking the details. Clearly, something is going wrong here. (btw. cf is our internal shortener of connection filter). From the lines I see that you are operating on 8.2.0.
I have to investigate what may be causing this. The check is there to rather fail than proceed with an upload that looks gone wrong. But, as usual, there seem to be wrong assumptions involved.

Thanks for looking into this, @icing!

No, I just wanted to comment at the source. 8.2.1 seems to have moved the same code downwards a bit.

@katrinleinweber I tried in many ways to trigger this on my machine, but no success. I now suspect that this only happens on 32bit systems. Do you know of any reports on 64bit archs?

I recently encountered this error with a git push to github.com. I'm not behind any proxies, and had the same result when I used a VPN to connect to an alternative github.com endpoint in another country.
I opened a support ticket with GitHub and they referenced this discussion and suggested I share my experience here. I am using 64 bit git.exe on Windows, version 2.42.0.windows.1.
I have captured a trace log with:
export GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
export GIT_TRACE=1
export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
I am no longer able to replicate the issue locally (temporarily turning off git compression tweaked things enough that the problem went away), but in case the logs are useful, I have attached them here (git_connect.log.txt). Short log:

In the log, I find the Send header git trace immediately before the failure curious -- why would git be sending a zero-byte header?

The issue was fixed in curl 8.3.0 released in September. If you are using the latest Git for Windows it was released in August so unless it has an auto-update of components then it is not using curl 8.3.0.

@katrinleinweber fix was merged into master for release next week. |

Thank you, @icing! I wasn't able to obtain more details about the 32/64bit detail, sorry. |
Found a way to reproduce in a test case. The architecture, turned out, did not matter. It was just the right amount of headers and POST data plus an EWOULDBLOCK at the right moment that triggered it. |
