If a small request is received on QUIC MUX frontend, it can be transmitted directly with the FIN on attach operation. rcv_buf is skipped by the stream layer. Thus, it is necessary to ensure that there is similar behavior when FIN is reported either on attach or rcv_buf. One difference was that se_expect_data() was called only for rcv_buf but not on attach. This most obvious effect is that stream timeout was deactivated for this request : client timeout was disabled on EOI but server one not armed due to previous se_expect_no_data(). This prevents the early closure of too long requests. To fix this, add an invokation of se_expect_data() on attach operation. This bug can simply be detected using httpterm with delay request (for example /?t=10000) and using smaller client/server timeouts. The bug is present if the request is not aborted on timeout but instead continue until its proper HTTP 200 termination. This has been introduced by the following commit : 85eabfbf672c57e4ed082da1b96c95348b331320 MEDIUM: mux-quic: Don't expect data from server as long as request is unfinished This must be backported up to 2.8.
