Motivation:
Headers.get* methods should not throw an exception but return null or the default value if converting of the value fails.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle the case when ValueConverter throws an Exception.
- Add testcase.
Result:
Fixes [#7710].
Motivation:
DefaultPromise's internal state depends upon specific Signal objects. These Signal objects can be used externally which causes the DefaultPromise object API to not function correct and state to become corrupted.
Modifications:
- DefaultPromise shouldn't depend upon Signal for its internal state
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7707
Motivation:
ByteBufUtil by default will cache DirectByteBuffer objects, and the
associated direct memory (up to 64k). In combination with the Recycler which may
cache up to 32k elements per thread may lead to a large amount of direct
memory being retained per EventLoop thread. As traffic spikes come this
may be perceived as a memory leak because the memory in the Recycler
will never be reclaimed.
Modifications:
- By default we shouldn't cache DirectByteBuffer objects.
Result:
Less direct memory consumption due to caching DirectByteBuffer objects.
Motivation:
NioDatagramChannel attempts to unpack a AddressedEnvelope and unconditionally uses internalNioBuffer. However if the ByteBuf is a CompositeByteBuf with more than 1 components, the write will fail and throw an exception.
Modifications:
- NioDatagramChannel should check the nioBufferCount before attempting
to use internalNioBuffer
Result:
No more failure to write UDP packets on NIO when a CompositeByteBuf is
used.
Motivation:
The code did reflection every method call which made the code slower and
harder to read with additional cases to consider.
Modifications:
Instead of loading the method and then throwing it away, save the Method
reference instead of the Class reference. Then also use more precise
exception handling for the method invocation.
Result:
Simpler, speedier code.
Motivation:
The Recycler currently retains 32k objects per thread by default. The Recycler is used in more than just one place and may result in large amounts of memory bloat if spikes of traffic are observed.
Modifications:
- Reduce the Recyclers default capacity from 32k to 4k.
Result:
- Lower default capacity of the Recycler and less memory retained.
Motivation:
Conscrypt is now 1.0. No more need to depend on release candidates.
Modifications:
Just the version bump. Things seemed compatible.
Result:
Depending on first guaranteed-api-stable release of Conscrypt.
Motivation:
Some java binaries include android classes on their classpath, even
if they aren't actually android. When this is true, `Unsafe` no
longer works, disabling the Epoll functionality. A sample case is
for binaries that use the j2objc library.
Modifications:
Check the `java.vm.name` instead of the classpath. Numerous
Google-internal Android libraries / binaries check this property
rather than the class path.
It is believed this is safe and works with bother ART and Dalvik
VMs, safe for Robolectric, and j2objc.
Results:
Unusually built java server binaries can still use Netty Epoll.
Motivation:
At the moment we use a ByteBuf as the payload for a http2 frame. This complicates life-time management a lot with no real gain and also may produce more objects then needed. We should just use a long as it is required to be 8 bytes anyway.
Modifications:
Use long for ping payloads.
Result:
Fixes [#7629].
Motivation:
Sometimes, it would be convenient to be able to easily enable all
supported cipher suites, regardless of security.
Currently, the only way it to retrieve all supported ciphers and pass
them explicitly.
Modification:
Introduce a new IdentityCipherSuiteFilter singleton that defaults to
supportedCiphers instead of defaultCiphers when ciphers are null.
Result:
Convenient way to enabled all supported cipher suites.
Motivation:
Currently if user call set/remove/set/remove many times, it will create multiple cleaner task for same index. It may cause OOM due to long live thread will have more and more task in LIVE_SET.
Modification:
Add flag to avoid recreating tasks.
Result:
Only create 1 clean task. But use more space of indexedVariables.
Since 3.1.1 mqtt protocol version SUBACK message can now indicate the failure in payload.
Modification:
Do not erase failure payload in for SUBACK message.
Result:
Fixes#7665
Motivation:
When following a CNAME response DnsNameResovlerContext may issue a A and AAAA query. However the DnsNameResolverContext would have already issued a A and AAAA query to get the CNAME response, and this may result in 2 additional A/AAAA queries per CNAME response.
Modifications:
- DnsNameResovlerContext#followCname shouldn't issue 2 queries, but instead just a single query with the same record type as the original query
Result:
No more duplicate queries as a result of CNAME responses.
Motivation:
There is some cleanup that can be done.
Modifications:
- Use intializer list expression where possible
- Remove unused imports.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
We need the memoryAddress of a direct buffer when using our native transports. For this reason ReadOnlyUnsafeDirectByteBuf.memoryAddress() should not throw.
Modifications:
- Correctly override ReadOnlyUnsafeDirectByteBuf.memoryAddress() and hasMemoryAddress()
- Add test case
Result:
Fixes [#7672].
Motivation:
In google/conscrypt#313 the Conscrypt.Engines class was removed in favor
of methods directly on Conscrypt and overloading. The Conscrypt-using
code in Netty used reflection to access the old API, that doesn't exist
anymore. And thus recent versions of Conscrypt fail to enable things
like ALPN with Netty.
Modifications:
Instead of calling Conscrypt.Engines.isConscrypt, call
Conscrypt.isConscrypt.
Result:
Conscrypt detected properly at runtime.
Motivation:
DnsServerAddressStream provides an iterator like interface but maybe expected to start at a specific point upon each new usage. If a DnsServerAddressStream is re-used in multiple independent iterations the order of iteration maybe incorrect. DnsNameResolverContext has a fallback DnsServerAddressStream reference if the cache doesn't contain a hit, but it is shared across multiple independent iterations. This may lead to undesirable DNS query order.
Modifications:
- DnsNameResolverContext#getNameServers should duplicate the default DnsServerAddressStream
Result:
Consistent iteration over the default DnsServerAddressStream in DnsNameResolverContext.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext builds the list of supported cipher suites, but assumes that ciphers prefixed with SSL_ and TLS_ will be interchangeable. However this is not the case and only applies to a small subset of ciphers. This results in the JdkSslContext attempting to use unsupported ciphers.
Modifications:
- When building the list of ciphers in JdkSslContext we should first check if the engine supports the TLS_ prefix cipher.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7673
Motivation:
SslHandler#decode methods catch any exceptions and attempt to wrap
before shutting down the engine. The intention is to write any alerts
which the engine may have pending. However the wrap process may also
attempt to write user data, and may also complete the associated
promises. If this is the case, and a promise listener closes the channel
then SslHandler may later propagate a SslHandshakeCompletionEvent user
event through the pipeline. Since the channel has already been closed
the user may no longer be paying attention to user events.
Modifications:
- Sslhandler#decode should first fail the associated handshake promise
and propagate the SslHandshakeCompletionEvent before attempting to wrap
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7639
Motivation:
When following a CNAME it is possible there are multiple name servers to query against. However DnsNameResolverContext#followCname explicitly only uses the first name server address when attempting the query. This may lead to resolution failures because we didn't try all the available name servers.
Modifications:
DnsNameResolverContext#followCname should not just try the first name server, but it should try all name servers
Result:
More complete CNAME resolution.
Motivation:
We saw some timeouts on the CI when the leak detection is enabled.
Modifications:
- Use smaller number of operations in test
- Increase timeout
Result:
CI not times out.
Motivation:
At the moment DefaultDnsCache will expire each record dependong on its own TTL. This may result in unexpected results for the end-user especially if the user for example uses IPV4_PREFERED but the cached AAAA records has a higher TTL then the A records and so the A record was removed. In this case we would only return the AAAA record and not even try to refresh.
Modifications:
Always expire all records for a hostname when one TTL is reached.
Result:
Fixes [#7329]
Motivation:
ByteBufUtil.isText(...) may produce unexpected results if called concurrently on the same ByteBuffer.
Modifications:
- Don't use internalNioBuffer where it is not safe.
- Add unit test.
Result:
ByteBufUtil.isText is thread-safe.
Motivation:
Reflective setAccessible(true) will produce scary warnings on the console when using java9+, while netty still works. That said users may feel uncomfortable with these warnings, we should not try to do it by default when using java9+.
Modifications:
Add io.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible system property which controls if setAccessible(...) will be used. By default it will bet set to false when using java9+.
Result:
Fixes [#7254].
Motivation:
According to the section 4d of ASLv2:
If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.
Modifications:
- Add a subset of NOTICE.txt of Apache Harmony.
Result:
- Fixes#7588
Motivation:
According to the spec:
All pseudo-header fields MUST appear in the header block before regular
header fields. Any request or response that contains a pseudo-header
field that appears in a header block after
a regular header field MUST be treated as malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).
Pseudo-header fields are only valid in the context in which they are defined.
Pseudo-header fields defined for requests MUST NOT appear in responses;
pseudo-header fields defined for responses MUST NOT appear in requests.
Pseudo-header fields MUST NOT appear in trailers.
Endpoints MUST treat a request or response that contains undefined or
invalid pseudo-header fields as malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).
Clients MUST NOT accept a malformed response. Note that these requirements
are intended to protect against several types of common attacks against HTTP;
they are deliberately strict because being permissive can expose
implementations to these vulnerabilities.
Modifications:
- Introduce validation in HPackDecoder
Result:
- Requests with unknown pseudo-field headers are rejected
- Requests with containing response specific pseudo-headers are rejected
- Requests where pseudo-header appear after regular header are rejected
- h2spec 8.1.2.1 pass
Motivation:
We should convert Http2Exceptions that are produced because of STREAM_CLOSED to ClosedChannelException when hand-over to the child channel to make it more consistent with other transports.
Modifications:
- Check if STREAM_CLOSED is used and if so create a new ClosedChannelException (while preserve the original exception as cause) and use it in the child channel
- Ensure STREAM_CLOSED is used in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController when writes are failed because of a closed stream.
- Add testcase
Result:
More consistent and correct exception usage.
Motivation:
The methods implement io.netty.util.concurrent.Future#cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning) which actually ignored the param mayInterruptIfRunning.We need to add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Modifications:
Add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Result:
People who call the `cancel` method will be more clear about the effect of `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Motivation:
The netty-all artifact doesn't have a Automatic-Module-Name defined in the manifest like the rest of the projects do, resulting in requires netty.all.
Modification:
Add Automatic-Module-Name
Result:
Correctly work as java9 module.
Motivation:
When checking if a value is present, ReadOnlyHttp2Headers always ignores
case for values.
RFC 7540 says: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2
"header field names are strings of ASCII characters that are compared in a case-insensitive fashion"
But there is no such constraint on header values
Modifications:
Updated ReadOnlyHttp2Headers.contains to compare header value in a
case-sensitive way.
Result:
ReadOnlyHttp2Headers compares header names in a case-insensitive way,
values in a case-sensitive way.
Motivation:
If you test a header value providing a String, contains() returns false.
This is due to the implementation inherited from DefaultHeaders using
the JAVA_HASHER.
JAVA_HASHER.equals returns false because a is a String and b an
AsciiString.
Modifications:
DefaultHttp2Headers overrides contains and uses CASE_SENSITIVE_HASHER.
Result:
You can test a header value with any CharSequence implementation.
Motivation:
The completion order of promises in Http2MultiplexChannel#close should be consistent with that of AbstractChannel. Otherwise this may result in Future listeners seeing incorrect channel state.
Modifications:
Add tests cases.
Result:
Ensure consistent behavior between Http2MultiplexChannel and AbstractChannel.
Motivation:
Calling DefaultHttp2StreamChannel.Unsafe.close(...) multiple times should not fail.
Modification:
- Correctly handle multiple calls to DefaultHttp2StreamChannel.Unsafe.close(...)
- Complete closePromise and promise that is given to close(...) in the correct order.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7628] and [#7641]
Motivation:
If DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder process outbound operation it sometimes missed to call Http2LifecycleManager.onError(...) when the operation was executed asynchronously.
Modifications:
Make best effort to update flags but still ensure failures are propageted to Http2LifecycleManager.onError(...) in all cases.
Result:
More consistent handling of errors.
Motivation:
Pseudo headers are checked less frequently than normal headers, so
it is more efficient to check the latter first.
Modifications:
Swap the order of the check, and fix minor formatting
Result:
Possibly more efficient header checks
Motivation:
We can just implement the interfaces directly and so reduce object creation in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.
Modifications:
Directly implement the interfaces.
Result:
Less object creation.
Motivation:
When part of a HTTP/2 StreamChannel the Http2StreamChannel.isOpen() / isActive() should report false within a call to a ChannelInboundHandlers channelInactive() method.
Modifications:
Fullfill promise before call fireChannelInactive()
Result:
Correctly update state / promise before notify handlers. Fixes [#7638]
Motivation:
With HTTP1, it's very easy to check if a header is present and has a
given value: you can simply invoke
io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpHeaders#contains(java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.CharSequence, boolean)
It is not possible to do the same with HTTP2. You have to get the list
of all headers (returned as String) and then iterate over it invoking
String#equals or String#equalsIgnoreCase
Modifications:
I've added io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2Headers#contains and
implemented it in DefaultHttp2Headers, EmptyHttp2Headers and ReadOnlyHttp2Headers.
Result:
You can use AsciiString constants to check if a header is present in a
consice and efficient manner.
Motivation:
When VoidChannelPromise.unvoid() was called we created a new ChannelFutureListener everytime. This is not needed as its stateless.
Modifications:
Reuse the ChannelFutureListener.
Result:
Less object allocations
Motivation:
Incorrect behavior for StompFrame.copy() method.
Modification:
Added copying of frame headers
Result:
When you call the StompFrame.copy() method, the headers are also copied.
Fixes [#7561].
Motivation:
The ObjectCleanerThread must be a daemon thread as otherwise we may block the JVM from exit. By using a daemon thread we basically give the same garantees as the JVM when it comes to cleanup of resources (as the GC threads are also daemon threads and the CleanerImpl uses a deamon thread as well in Java9+).
Modifications:
Change ObjectCleanThread to be a daemon thread.
Result:
JVM shutdown will always be able to complete. Fixed [#7617].
Motivation:
Someone intending to contribute should be able to set up their development environment quickly and easily.
Modifications:
- Added a Maven wrapper such that a local Maven installation isn't necessary.
- Added a .gitattributes such that auto line-endings are enforced.
Result:
- ./mvnw is enough to build.
- Git line-endings are enforced.
- Fixes#7578.
Motivation:
Usually when using netty exceptions which happen for outbound operations should not be fired through the pipeline but only the ChannelPromise should be failed.
Modifications:
- Change Http2LifecycleManager.onError(...) to take also an boolean that indicate if the error was caused by an outbound operation
- Channel Http2ConnectionHandler.on*Error(...) methods to also take this boolean
- Change Http2FrameCodec to only fire exceptions through the pipeline if these are not outbound operations related
- Add unit test.
Result:
More consistent error handling when using Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec.
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec swallows Http2PingFrames without releasing the payload, resulting in a memory leak.
Modification:
Send unhandled frames down the pipeline for consumption/disposal by another InboundChannelHandler.
Result:
Fixes#7607.
Motivation:
In environments with a security manager, the reflective access to get the reference to
Throwable#addSuppressed can cause issues that result in Netty failing to load. The main
motivation in this pull request is to remove the use of reflection to prevent issues in
these environments.
Modifications:
ThrowableUtil no longer uses Class#getDeclaredMembers to get the Method that references
Throwable#addSuppressed and instead guards the call to Throwable#addSuppressed with a
Java version check.
Additionally, a annotation was added that suppresses the animal sniffer java16 signature
check on the given method. The benefit of the annotation is that it limits the exclusion
of Throwable to just the ThrowableUtil class and has string text indicating the reason
for suppressing the java16 signature check.
Result:
Netty no longer requires the use of Class#getDeclaredMethod for ThrowableUtil and will
work in environments restricted by a security manager without needing to grant reflection
permissions.
Fixes#7614
