UdpClient.ReceiveAsync correct early termination


Good day. I work with UdpClient and have wrapper upon it.

For reading I have asynchronous method:

private async Task<byte[]> Receive(UdpClient client, CancellationToken breakToken)
{
    // Выход из async, если произошёл CancellationRequest
    breakToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

    UdpReceiveResult result;
    try
    {
        result = await client.ReceiveAsync().WithCancellation(breakToken);
    }
    catch(OperationCanceledException)
    {
        // Штатная ситуация ручной остановки Task-а
    }

    return result.Buffer;
}

Where WithCancellation is my extension-method for early termination:

public static async Task<T> WithCancellation<T>(
    this Task<T> task, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<bool>();

    using (cancellationToken.Register(
        s => ((TaskCompletionSource<bool>)s).TrySetResult(true),
        tcs))
        if (task != await Task.WhenAny(task, tcs.Task))
            throw new OperationCanceledException(cancellationToken);

    return await task;
}

And after manual reading stop, when I call Dispose, System.ObjectDisposedException occurs. CallStack:

System.dll!System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient.ReceiveAsync.AnonymousMethod__64_1(System.IAsyncResult ar)  Unknown

If I understood correctly, root of error in ReceiveAsync, in my method of stop it to be exact. But i don't know how to fix it.

What i must do to correct this error?

Update after usr comment:

private async Task<byte[]> Receive(UdpClient client, CancellationToken breakToken)
{
    // Выход из async, если произошёл CancellationRequest
    breakToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

    UdpReceiveResult result;
    try
    {
        result = await client.ReceiveAsync().WithCancellation(breakToken);
    }
    catch(OperationCanceledException)
    {
        // Штатная ситуация ручной остановки Task-а
    }
    catch(ObjectDisposedException) { }

    return result.Buffer;
}

and Dispose invoking:

public void Dispose()
{
    this.cancelRecieve?.Cancel();
    this.cancelRecieve?.Dispose();

    try
    {
        this.client?.Close();
    }
    catch(ObjectDisposedException) { }
}

But the catch do not react to ObjectDisposedException.


Solution

  • And so, after nearly a week of suffering, I have found the reason and solution.

    At first, I looked at the UdpClient source code. The ReceiveAsync method:

    [HostProtection(ExternalThreading = true)]
    public Task<UdpReceiveResult> ReceiveAsync()
    {
        return Task<UdpReceiveResult>.Factory.FromAsync((callback, state) => BeginReceive(callback, state), (ar)=>
            {
                IPEndPoint remoteEP = null;
                Byte[] buffer = EndReceive(ar, ref remoteEP);
                return new UdpReceiveResult(buffer, remoteEP);
    
            }, null);
    }
    

    At second, I found this post with perfect answer:How to abort socket's BeginReceive()?, in which said:

    To cancel a pending call to the BeginConnect() method, close the Socket. When the Close() method is called while an asynchronous operation is in progress, the callback provided to the BeginConnect() method is called. A subsequent call to the EndConnect(IAsyncResult) method will throw an ObjectDisposedException to indicate that the operation has been cancelled.

    And, as we can see, the original ReceiveAsync method return us the ObjectDisposedException, because IOOperation has not been completed after Close invoking.

    To overcome this problem I have done like this:

    New ReceiveAsync realization:

    /// <summary>
    /// Асинхронный запрос на ожидание приёма данных с возможностью досрочного выхода
    /// (для выхода из ожидания вызовите метод Disconnect())
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="client">Рабочий экземпляр класса UdpClient</param>
    /// <param name="breakToken">Признак досрочного завершения</param>
    /// <returns>Если breakToken произошёл до вызова данного метода или в режиме ожидания
    /// ответа, вернёт пустой UdpReceiveResult; при удачном получении ответа-результат
    /// асинхронной операции чтения</returns>
    public Task<UdpReceiveResult> ReceiveAsync(UdpClient client, CancellationToken breakToken)
        => breakToken.IsCancellationRequested
            ? Task<UdpReceiveResult>.Run(() => new UdpReceiveResult())
            : Task<UdpReceiveResult>.Factory.FromAsync(
                (callback, state) => client.BeginReceive(callback, state),
                (ar) =>
                    {
                        /// Предотвращение <exception cref="ObjectDisposedException"/>
                        if (breakToken.IsCancellationRequested)
                            return new UdpReceiveResult();
    
                        IPEndPoint remoteEP = null;
                        var buffer = client.EndReceive(ar, ref remoteEP);
                        return new UdpReceiveResult(buffer, remoteEP);
                    },
                null);
    

    New Dispose realization:

    protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing)
        {
            this.cancelReceive?.Cancel();
            this.client?.Close();
            this.cancelReceive?.Dispose();
        }
    }
    

    I very much hope, that my decision will deprive someone else of the pain that I experienced.
