Problem

Two sharp edges surfaced while landing today's media and uring work:

Approach

Two next quests, ranked beside their neighbours:

  • [S] GPU pool reservation: Converter::reserve() -> Option<Slot> then Slot::convert(), mirroring the bandwidth Reservation handle; exhaustion is a None, errors stay errors.
  • [M] io_uring handshake flush: the dial stays pending until the driver reports the handshake flight flushed, and a worker stopping first fails the dial loudly; no timeouts, no drain-on-shutdown.

Considered and dropped with the maintainer: an x86_64 Linux clippy job (release builds stay the gate) and --all-features clippy on PRs (nightly features stays the gate).

Public API and wire impact

None (planning only).

(Written by Claude Opus 5)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Two follow-ups from today's media and uring landings: the bounded GPU frame
pool reports exhaustion as Error::Unsupported prose (#3869), and an io_uring
dial can resolve before its last handshake flight is sent (#3865).

MERGE

Planning-only, and both quests earn their place in next.

Positive improvement?

Yes. Each one closes a real sharp edge left by recent landings, not speculative cleanup.

  • GPU pool reservation [S]: Turning pool exhaustion from Error::Unsupported + prose into reserve() -> Option<Slot> is the right shape. Exhaustion is expected back-pressure for the CARLA bridge; matching error text to drop a frame is a brittle contract. Mirroring the bandwidth Reservation handle keeps the crate consistent, and keeping capacity + pool privacy unchanged keeps the blast radius to the convert/resize call sites.
  • io_uring handshake flush [M]: A dial that resolves while the last flight is still paced is a correctness footgun, especially for short-lived tasks. Keeping the dial pending until the driver reports flush, and failing loudly if the worker stops first, matches how callers actually reason about “connected.” Explicitly rejecting timeouts, retries, and drain-on-shutdown is the right non-goal list.

Worth the complexity?

Yes for both.

  • [S] is a small, local API reshape on unpublished moq-video 0.0.x, with an injected-allocator test plan that covers capacity, drop-before-convert, and failed-convert leak freedom.
  • [M] stays on the moq-uring connect/establish path, leaves moq-tokio alone, and asks for a reproduce-first Linux CI case (stop worker immediately after dial) before the fix. That is proportionate to the bug.

Different approach?

Nothing better jumps out.

  • For the GPU pool, a dedicated error variant would still treat expected back-pressure as exceptional; Option + held slot (return on drop) is cleaner than try_convert beside the old convert.
  • For the flush, resolving early and flushing in the background still leaves a connection that “looks established” while the peer may never see the flight. Waiting is the honest contract.

README placement is sensible: flush beside handshake cancellation, GPU reservation beside NVENC recovery.

One soft note (not blocking)

uring-handshake-flush and uring-handshake-cancel both own the establish path. Cancel wants cleanup ownership before the first suspension; flush adds another wait before the public result. When either moves to implementation, design them against the same ownership handoff so they do not thrash each other. The Related links already point the right way.

No public API or wire impact in this PR itself. Ship the plans.

This is an automated review, not the maintainer's decision

Walkthrough

Adds two quest specifications and corresponding entries to quest/next/README.md. One specification covers GPU pool reservation and back-pressure behavior. The other covers delaying moq_uring::quic::client::connect until the final handshake flight is flushed. No source-code declarations change.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1ac8e

The change is low risk because it adds no runtime code, but the quest documents should be clarified before implementation work relies on them.

Define buffer acquisition and reservation cleanup.

Pool::take(len) requires a byte length, and the current Converter::convert derives that length from frame.size() before calling Frame::pooled. Since reserve() receives no frame or size, state whether it holds only a capacity token and Slot::convert acquires the sized buffer, or whether the converter has a fixed output size. If allocation is deferred, specify how an allocation error releases the reservation. The existing Pool::take leaves its live count unchanged when allocation fails, but that does not define cleanup for a separate reservation.

Define ownership transfer after successful Slot::convert. The plan says that Slot returns its buffer to the pool on drop “converted or not”, while Slot::convert(&vulkan::Frame) returns a Frame that uses the held buffer. If Slot drops after success, the pool can reuse that buffer while the Frame is still live. Specify whether convert consumes Slot or moves the pool-return guard into Frame. Test that the buffer is released only after the converted Frame drops.

Include cuda::Frame::resize in the public API scope.

rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda.rs declares cuda::Frame::resize as public. Because the plan applies the reservation change to its pool, list its new API contract, affected callers, tests, and documentation updates. State explicitly if its signature remains compatible.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify what the caller drops when reserve() returns None.

None is the absence of a Slot. It is not a reservation that can be dropped. State that the caller drops or skips the input frame when no slot is available.

Suggested wording
-- [GPU pool reservation](/quest/next/gpu-pool-reservation.md) - a full GPU frame pool is a `None` reservation the caller drops on, not an error to match
+- [GPU pool reservation](/quest/next/gpu-pool-reservation.md) - a full GPU frame pool returns `None`; the caller drops the input frame instead of matching an error

Await connect before stopping the worker.

The goal describes stopping after the dial resolves, but the reproduction step only says “dial, stop the worker immediately.” Await moq_uring::quic::client::connect first, then stop the worker. Otherwise the test can stop the worker before connect resolves and miss the queued final-flight window.
