src: introduce internal buffer slice constructor

Add a C++ variant of Buffer.from(arrayBuffer, offset, length).
http2: refactor read mechanism

Refactor the read mechanism to completely avoid copying.

Instead of copying individual DATA frame contents into buffers,
create ArrayBuffer instances for all socket reads and emit
slices of those ArrayBuffers to JS.

src/node_internals.h

Would it be possible to explicitly note that a HandleScope must have been opened before calling this function?

@TimothyGu I think that’s kind of explicit in the fact that this returns a MaybeLocal; that’s never valid without a HandleScope, right?

(Or, the other way around: The same is true of the other buffer constructors, but we don’t mention it there.)

That's certainly true. But the other Buffer constructors open a HandleScope themselves so I was wondering.

@TimothyGu I removed it in this case because, as far as I can tell, all the temporary handles created here refer to objects that are kept alive be the returned Buffer instance anyway.

If my understanding is correct, I think they could be removed in the other cases as well, but I am not 100 % sure and since some of them are public API I left them the way they were.

test/common/index.js

Should the returned function return a promise as well, so that one could chain the functions returned by mustCallAsync?

@TimothyGu yup, done!

lib/perf_hooks.js

I would prefer we didn't define these here, but rather in the HTTP2 part. I think these are also defined for every single instance, which will increase overhead.

@mcollina Can you comment that on @jasnell’s #18020? :)

jasnell

Nice. Did you benchmark this at all? It should yield a nice modest boost.

addaleax · 2018-01-08T17:28:42Z

@jasnell I got about + 3 % in the simple benchmark but I’ll kick off a benchmark CI after #18020 has been merged :)

Add a C++ variant of `Buffer.from(arrayBuffer, offset, length)`.

Refactor the read mechanism to completely avoid copying. Instead of copying individual `DATA` frame contents into buffers, create `ArrayBuffer` instances for all socket reads and emit slices of those `ArrayBuffer`s to JS.

addaleax · 2018-01-13T14:45:07Z

This is no longer blocked by #18020.

@nodejs/benchmarking https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js%20benchmark/job/benchmark-node-micro-benchmarks/93/console says

Error: Requested benchmarker 'h2load' is not installed

Is there anything we can do about that?

Should this be backported to v8.x-staging? If yes please follow the guide and raise a backport PR, if not let me know or add the dont-land-on label.
