From c1ce3da02e3641467c2f61222040da9390f4d4b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: armorbreak001 Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:54:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(tcpclient): close SSLIOStream on TLS handshake timeout to prevent socket leak When TCPClient.connect() times out during the TLS handshake, the socket is transferred to an SSLIOStream inside start_tls() but never cleaned up because gen.with_timeout does not cancel the wrapped future. This leaves the socket fd permanently leaked. Save the start_tls future and cancel it on TimeoutError, which triggers cleanup of the underlying SSLIOStream via a new cancel callback registered in IOStream.start_tls().

However, _signal_closed() calls _ssl_connect_future.exception() which raises CancelledError on cancelled futures, preventing proper cleanup. Wrap the exception() call in try/except CancelledError to ensure close() completes successfully even when the SSL connect future was cancelled.
