Fix ManagedWebSocket send cancellation leaving state Open

[steveisok]

Summary

Fixes #132031.

ManagedWebSocket.SendFrameFallbackAsync awaited the send-mutex acquisition task (lockTask) before entering its try block and before registering the cancellationToken.Register(... => Abort()) callback. If cancellation raced with acquiring _sendMutex (e.g. because a keep-alive ping or another in-flight send already held it), the resulting OperationCanceledException propagated out without ever calling Abort(), leaving WebSocketState stuck at Open instead of transitioning to Aborted.

This caused the flaky System.Net.WebSockets.Client.Tests.CancelTest_*.SendAsync_Cancel_Success failures tracked by #132031 across many PR checks (mostly on Android/JIT-stress legs, where lock contention is more likely).

The receive path (ReceiveAsyncPrivate, and the close-frame-wait loop) already registers/handles cancellation around its mutex wait — the send path was the odd one out.

Fix

src/libraries/System.Net.WebSockets/src/System/Net/WebSockets/ManagedWebSocket.cs: moved the cancellationToken.Register(static s => ((ManagedWebSocket)s!).Abort(), this) registration to wrap the entire method body, including await lockTask, matching the existing pattern in the receive path. Added a small try/catch around the lock-wait to trace a canceled wait via NetEventSource.TraceException before rethrowing, for diagnostics parity with the write/flush cancellation path.

Mutex-release semantics are preserved: _sendMutex.Exit() only runs in the inner try/finally, which is only entered after the lock is actually acquired — so an unacquired mutex is never released, and there's no double-exit.

Tests

Added two deterministic regression tests to src/libraries/System.Net.WebSockets/tests/WebSocketTests.cs (no timing sleeps):

• SendAsync_AlreadyCanceledToken_AbortsConnectionAndThrowsOperationCanceledException — uses an already-canceled token so AsyncMutex.EnterAsync returns Task.FromCanceled immediately, deterministically hitting the pre-lock cancellation path with no contention needed.
• SendAsync_CancelWhileWaitingForSendMutex_AbortsConnectionAndThrowsOperationCanceledException — uses a new GatedWriteStream test helper whose WriteAsync blocks on a TaskCompletionSource until released, to deterministically create genuine send-mutex contention: a first send holds the mutex blocked in its write, a second cancelable send must wait for the mutex, and canceling the second send's token while it's waiting is asserted to abort the connection and throw OperationCanceledException.

Both were traced by hand against the pre-fix code and confirmed to fail (state stays Open) without the fix, and pass with it.

Validation

dotnet build src/libraries/System.Net.WebSockets/src/System.Net.WebSockets.csproj -c Release — succeeded with 0 warnings/0 errors across all target frameworks (net, -browser, -unix, -windows).

Full xunit execution of the affected test projects wasn't performed in this environment due to local disk constraints; the system-net-review specialist agent reviewed the diff and traced correctness (mutex release/idempotent Abort()/no new races) with no blocking findings.

Scope

Limited to #132031 — does not touch ConnectAsync cancellation tests (#130439) or Known Build Error metadata.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new contention regression test can hang indefinitely (missing fast-fail timeouts and swallowing TimeoutException), which risks wedging CI runs.

What changed in this PR

This PR updates ManagedWebSocket send-path cancellation handling so that cancellation while waiting to acquire the send mutex aborts the connection, aligning send behavior with the receive path and avoiding WebSocketState remaining Open after OperationCanceledException.

Changes:

• Register the cancellation callback for Abort() before awaiting send-mutex acquisition in SendFrameFallbackAsync, ensuring cancellation during mutex wait transitions the socket to Aborted.
• Add deterministic regression tests covering (1) already-canceled tokens and (2) cancellation while contended on the send mutex (via a gated write stream helper).

File	Description
src/​libraries/​System.Net.WebSockets/​src/​System/​Net/​WebSockets/​ManagedWebSocket.cs	Extends cancellation registration to include the mutex-wait window in the send fallback path, with tracing for canceled lock waits.
src/​libraries/​System.Net.WebSockets/​tests/​WebSocketTests.cs	Adds two regression tests plus a GatedWriteStream helper to deterministically reproduce send-mutex contention cancellation behavior.

• The catch { } around await firstSend will also swallow TimeoutException if the first send never completes, turning a real hang into a test pass/slow-timeout elsewhere. Prefer awaiting with a timeout and only swallowing non-timeout exceptions.

            {
                await firstSend;

LGTM, Thanks!

This changes product code. Do we have customer scenario that is affected by this? if not, then this does not meet a servicing bar (.NET 11 RCs use the same bar as normal servicing releases).

It's not quite normal servicing yet. Certainly more scrutiny, but there is still a more flexible window until RC2 snaps.
