Previously, Hijack allocated a new write buffer and the existing connection write buffer used an extra 4KiB of memory until the handler finished and the "conn" was garbage collected. Now, hijack re-uses the existing write buffer and re-attaches it to the raw connection to avoid referencing the net/http "conn" after returning. After a handler that hijacked exited, the "conn" reference in "connReader" will now be unset. This allows all of the "conn", "response" and "Request" to get garbage collected. Overall, this is reducing the memory usage by 43% or 6.7KiB per hijacked connection (see BenchmarkServerHijackMemoryUsage in an earlier revision of the CL). CloseNotify will continue to work _before_ the handler has exited (i.e. while the "conn" is still referenced in "connReader"). This aligns with the documentation of CloseNotifier: > After the Handler has returned, there is no guarantee that the channel > receives a value. goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: net/http cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz │ before │ after │ │ sec/op │ sec/op vs base │ ServerHijack-8 42.59µ ± 8% 39.47µ ± 16% ~ (p=0.481 n=10) │ before │ after │ │ B/op │ B/op vs base │ ServerHijack-8 16.12Ki ± 0% 12.06Ki ± 0% -25.16% (p=0.000 n=10) │ before │ after │ │ allocs/op │ allocs/op vs base │ ServerHijack-8 51.00 ± 0% 49.00 ± 0% -3.92% (p=0.000 n=10) Change-Id: I20a37ee314ed0d47463a4657d712154e78e48138 GitHub-Last-Rev: 80f09dfa273035f53cdd72845e5c5fb129c3e230 GitHub-Pull-Request: golang/go#70756 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/634855 Reviewed-by: Sean Liao <sean@liao.dev> Reviewed-by: Dmitri Shuralyov <dmitshur@google.com> LUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI <golang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com> Reviewed-by: Damien Neil <dneil@google.com> Auto-Submit: Sean Liao <sean@liao.dev>
