Motivation:
We have our own ThreadLocalRandom implementation to support older JDKs . That said we should prefer the JDK provided when running on JDK >= 7
Modification:
Using ThreadLocalRandom implementation of the JDK when possible.
Result:
Make use of JDK implementations when possible.
Motivation:
Currently Netty does not wrap socket connect, bind, or accept
operations in doPrivileged blocks. Nor does it wrap cases where a dns
lookup might happen.
This prevents an application utilizing the SecurityManager from
isolating SocketPermissions to Netty.
Modifications:
I have introduced a class (SocketUtils) that wraps operations
requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivileged blocks.
Result:
A user of Netty can grant SocketPermissions explicitly to the Netty
jar, without granting it to the rest of their application.
Motivation:
We need to ensure the tracked object can not be GC'ed before ResourceLeak.close() is called as otherwise we may get false-positives reported by the ResourceLeakDetector. This can happen as the JIT / GC may be able to figure out that we do not need the tracked object anymore and so already enqueue it for collection before we actually get a chance to close the enclosing ResourceLeak.
Modifications:
- Add ResourceLeakTracker and deprecate the old ResourceLeak
- Fix some javadocs to correctly release buffers.
- Add a unit test for ResourceLeakDetector that shows that ResourceLeakTracker has not the problems.
Result:
No more false-positives reported by ResourceLeakDetector when ResourceLeakDetector.track(...) is used.
Motivation:
8cf90f0512 switch a duplicate opreration to a slice operation. Typically this would be fine but DNS supports a compression (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035 4.1.4. Message compression) where the payload contains absolute indexes which refer back to previously referenced content. Using a slice will break the ability for the indexes in the payload to correctly self reference to the index of the originial payload, and thus decoding may fail.
Modifications:
- Use duplicate instead of slice so DNS message compression and index references are preserved.
Result:
Fixes DefaultDnsRecordDecoder regression
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
RFC7871 defines an extension which allows to request responses for a given subset.
Modifications:
- Add DnsOptPseudoRrRecord which can act as base class for extensions based on EDNS(0) as defined in RFC6891
- Add DnsOptEcsRecord to support the Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension
- Add tests
Result:
Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension is now supported.
Motivation:
We need to not change the original writerIndex when decode a DnsPtrRecord as otherwise we will not be able to decode other records that follow it.
Modifications:
Slice the data out and so not increase the writerIndex.
Result:
No more problems when decoding.
Allow users of Netty to plug in their own leak detector for the purpose
of instrumentation.
Motivation:
We are rolling out a large Netty deployment and want to be able to
track the amount of leaks we're seeing in production via custom
instrumentation. In order to achieve this today, I had to plug in a
custom `ByteBufAllocator` into the bootstrap and have it initialize a
custom `ResourceLeakDetector`. Due to these classes mostly being marked
`final` or having private or static methods, a lot of the code had to
be copy-pasted and it's quite ugly.
Modifications:
* I've added a static loader method for the `ResourceLeakDetector` in
`AbstractByteBuf` that tries to instantiate the class passed in via the
`-Dio.netty.customResourceLeakDetector`, otherwise falling back to the
default one.
* I've modified `ResourceLeakDetector` to be non-final and to have the
reporting broken out in to methods that can be overridden.
Result:
You can instrument leaks in your application by just adding something
like the following:
```java
public class InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector<T> extends
ResourceLeakDetector<T> {
@Monitor("InstanceLeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger instancesLeakCounter;
@Monitor("LeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger leakCounter;
public InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector(Class<T> resource) {
super(resource);
this.instancesLeakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
this.leakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
}
@Override
protected void reportTracedLeak(String records) {
super.reportTracedLeak(records);
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportUntracedLeak() {
super.reportUntracedLeak();
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportInstancesLeak() {
super.reportInstancesLeak();
instancesLeakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
}
```
Motivation:
The current DnsNameResolver fails to resolve an A+CNAME answer. For example:
dig moose.rmq.cloudamqp.com
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
moose.rmq.cloudamqp.com. 1800 IN CNAME ec2-54-152-221-139.compute-1.amazonaws.com.
ec2-54-152-221-139.compute-1.amazonaws.com. 583612 IN A 54.152.221.139
...
The resolver constructs a map of cnames but forgets the trailing "." in the values which lead to not resolve the A record.
Modifications:
Reuse the code of DefaltDnsRecordDecoder which correctly handles the trailing dot.
Result:
Correctly resolve.
Related: #4333#4421#5128
Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.
Modifications:
- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.
Result:
Better document unstable APIs.
Motivation:
Before release 4.1.0.Final we should update all our dependencies.
Modifications:
Update dependencies.
Result:
Up-to-date dependencies used.
Motivation:
- The decoded name should always end with a dot (.), but we currently
strip it, which is incorrect.
- (O) 0 -> "."
- (X) 0 -> ""
- (O) 5 netty 2 io 0 -> "netty.io."
- (X) 5 netty 2 io 0 -> "netty.io"
- The encoded name should end with a null-label, which is a label whose
length is 0, but we currently append an extra NUL, causing FORMERR(1)
on a strict DNS server:
- (O) . -> 0
- (X) . -> 0 0
- (O) netty.io. -> 5 netty 2 io 0
- (X) netty.io. -> 5 netty 2 io 0 0
Modifications:
- Make sure to append '.' when decoding a name.
- Improve index checks so that the decoder can raise
CorruptFrameException instead of IIOBE
- Do not encode extra NUL
- Add more tests
Result:
Robustness and correctness
Motivation:
Zero-length names needs to be "prefixed" by the length as well when encoded into a ByteBuf. Also some servers not correctly prefix these so we should ensure we can workaround this and even decode in such case.
Modifications:
- Always encode the length of the name into the ByteBuf even if its zero-length.
- If there are no readable bytes for the name just asume its an empty name to workaround dns servers that not fully respect the RFC.
Result:
Correctly encode zero-length names and be able to decode empty names even when the rfc is not strictly followed.
Motivation:
Compile crash w/ JDK8:
```
[ERROR]
/Users/slandelle/Documents/dev/workspaces/workspace-ahc2/async-http-clie
nt-project/netty-bp/codec-dns/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/dns/D
nsMessageUtil.java:[176,16] reference to append is ambiguous
both method append(java.lang.String) in java.lang.StringBuilder and
method append(java.lang.StringBuffer) in java.lang.StringBuilder match
```
Modification:
Force type explicitly
Result:
Class compile w/ JDK8
Motivation:
We need to handle the trailing dot in the correct manner when creating DNS questions and responses.
Modifications:
- Add a trailing dot if not given to the hostname when construct a AbstractDnsRecord (this is the same as dig does).
Result:
Correctly handle trailing dots.
Motivation:
Domain name labels must be converted to ASCII and not be longer then 63 chars.
Modifications:
Correctly convert to ASCII which also will enforce the 63 chars length.
Result:
Correctly guard against invalid input.
