-Fix a 100% CPU worker spin in zstd-nginx-module 0.1.1 (tokers), triggered when a
-compressible response is flushed mid-stream while being zstd-compressed.
-
-Trigger: nginx injects an empty flush buffer via
-ngx_http_send_special(r, NGX_HTTP_FLUSH) whenever the body is flushed without
-new data -- `proxy_buffering off`, an upstream sending "X-Accel-Buffering: no",
-Server-Sent Events / long-poll, FastCGI buffering off, or PHP flush()/ob_flush()
--- on a content type in zstd_types, to a client advertising
-"Accept-Encoding: zstd" (Chrome 123+ and Firefox 126+ do by default).
-
-Root cause: in ngx_http_zstd_filter_compress(), ZSTD_compressStream() returns a
-*size hint* (the recommended next input size), not the amount of pending output,
-so it is almost always > 0. The module misreads rc > 0 as "more output pending",
-flips COMPRESS -> FLUSH and re-enters. ZSTD_flushStream() then returns 0 having
-produced no bytes, the action is restored to COMPRESS, and ctx->flush is never
-cleared (it is only cleared on the output-producing path). COMPRESS <-> FLUSH
-then toggles forever: the worker pins one core at 100%, never returns to the
-event loop (so a configuration reload cannot reap it) and survives until killed.
-
-Fix: when a flush or end completes (ZSTD returned 0) without producing output,
-clear ctx->flush / the GZIP_BUFFERED flag and stop instead of looping. No buffer
-is manufactured -- a zero-length data buffer would be rejected by
-ngx_http_write_filter ("zero size buf in writer"); the already-compressed data
-has been emitted on the output-producing path, so there is nothing left to send.
-
-Upstream tokers/zstd-nginx-module is effectively unmaintained (0.1.1 is the
-latest tag, 2023-10-23), so this is carried as a local patch.
-
-Verified against vanilla nginx 1.31.2 + module 0.1.1: unpatched pins a worker at
-100% CPU (state R) on an unbuffered flushed response and never recovers; patched
-keeps the worker idle (state S) and the streamed response decodes to a complete,
-valid zstd frame (zstd -t: FRAME OK).
