Motivation:
As the javadoc of ScheduledExecutorService state:
Zero and negative delays (but not periods) are also allowed in schedule methods,and are treated as requests for immediate execution.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle delay <= 0.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes [#6627].
Motivation:
When UNSAFE.allocateMemory is returning an address whose high bit is set we currently throw an IllegalArgumentException. This is not correct as it may return a negative number on at least sparc.
Modifications:
- Allow to pass in negative memoryAddress
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly validate the memoryAddress and so also work on sparc as expected. Fixes [#6574].
Motivation:
The updated HTTP/1.x RFC allows for header values to be CSV and separated by OWS [1]. CombinedHttpHeaders should remove this OWS on insertion.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-7
Modification:
CombinedHttpHeaders doesn't account for the OWS and returns it back to the user as part of the value.
Result:
Fixes#6452
Motivation:
We used some deprecated Mockito methods.
Modifications:
- Replace deprecated method usage
- Some cleanup
Result:
No more usage of deprecated Mockito methods. Fixes [#6482].
Motivation:
When UnorderedThreadPoolEventExecutor.execute / submit etc is called it will consume up to 100 % CPU even after the task was executed.
Modifications:
Add a special wrapper which we will be used in execute(...) to wrap the submitted Runnable. This is needed as ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.execute(...) will delegate to submit(...) which will then use decorateTask(...). The problem with this is that decorateTask(...) needs to ensure we only do our own decoration if we not call from execute(...) as otherwise we may end up creating an endless loop because DefaultPromise will call EventExecutor.execute(...) when notify the listeners of the promise.
Result:
Fixes [#6507].
Motivation:
We used various mocking frameworks. We should only use one...
Modifications:
Make usage of mocking framework consistent by only using Mockito.
Result:
Less dependencies and more consistent mocking usage.
Motivation:
When comparing MAC addresses searching for the best MAC address, if
locally-administered address (e.g., from a Docker container) is compared
against an empty MAC address, the empty MAC address will be marked as
preferred. In cases this is the only available MAC address, this leaves
Netty using a random machine ID instead of using a perfectly valid
machine ID from the locally-adminstered address.
Modifications:
This commit modifies the MAC address logic so that the empty MAC address
is not preferred over a locally-administered address. This commit also
simplifies the comparison logic here.
Result:
Empty MAC addresses will not be preferred over locally-administered
addresses thus permitting the default machine ID to be the
locally-adminstered MAC address if it is the only available MAC address.
Motivation:
codec-http2 couples the dependency tree state with the remainder of the stream state (Http2Stream). This makes implementing constraints where stream state and dependency tree state diverge in the RFC challenging. For example the RFC recommends retaining dependency tree state after a stream transitions to closed [1]. Dependency tree state can be exchanged on streams in IDLE. In practice clients may use stream IDs for the purpose of establishing QoS classes and therefore retaining this dependency tree state can be important to client perceived performance. It is difficult to limit the total amount of state we retain when stream state and dependency tree state is combined.
Modifications:
- Remove dependency tree, priority, and weight related items from public facing Http2Connection and Http2Stream APIs. This information is optional to track and depends on the flow controller implementation.
- Move all dependency tree, priority, and weight related code from DefaultHttp2Connection to WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor. This is currently the only place which cares about priority. We can pull out the dependency tree related code in the future if it is generally useful to expose for other implementations.
- DefaultHttp2Connection should explicitly limit the number of reserved streams now that IDLE streams are no longer created.
Result:
More compliant with the HTTP/2 RFC.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6206.

Motivation:
The HttpProxyHandler is expected to be capable of issuing a valid CONNECT request for a tunneled connection to an IPv6 host.
Modifications:
- Correctly format the IPV6 address.
- Add unit tests
Result:
HttpProxyHandler works with IPV6 as well. Fixes [#6152].
Motivation:
DefaultChannelId provides a regular expression which validates if a user provided MAC address is valid. This regular expression may allow invalid MAC addresses and also not allow valid MAC addresses.
Modifications:
- Introduce a MacAddressUtil#parseMac method which can parse and validate the MAC address at the same time. The regular expression check before hand is additional overhead if we have to parse the MAC address.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6132.
Motivation:
c2f4daa7398a9363fde8e51bf52c0d0323f870a5 added a unit test but used a too small test timeout.
Modifications:
Increase timeout.
Result:
Test should have enough time to complete on the CI.
Motivation:
InternalLoggerFactory either sets a default logger factory
implementation based on the logging implementations on the classpath, or
applications can set a logger factory explicitly. If applications wait
too long to set the logger factory, Netty will have already set a logger
factory leading to some objects using one logging implementation and
other objets using another logging implementation. This can happen too
if the application tries to set the logger factory twice, which is
likely a bug in the application. Yet, the Javadocs for
InternalLoggerFactory warn against this saying that
InternalLoggerFactory#setLoggerFactory "should be called as early as
possible and shouldn't be called more than once". Instead, Netty should
guard against this.
Modications:
We replace the logger factory field with an atomic reference on which we
can do CAS operations to safely guard against it being set twice. We
also add an internal holder class that captures the static interface of
InternalLoggerFactory that can aid in testing.
Result:
The logging factory can not be set twice, and applications that want to
set the logging factory must do it before any Netty classes are
initialized (or the default logger factory will be set).
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:
HashWheelTimerTest has busy/wait and sleep statements which are not necessary. We also depend upon a com.google.common.base.Supplier which isn't necessary.
Modifications:
- Remove buys wait loops and timeouts where possible
Result:
HashWheelTimerTest more explicit in verifying conditions and less reliant on wait times.
Motivation:
If the rate at which new timeouts are created is very high and the created timeouts are not cancelled, then the JVM can crash because of out of heap space. There should be a guard in the implementation to prevent this.
Modifications:
The constructor of HashedWheelTimer now takes an optional max pending timeouts parameter beyond which it will reject new timeouts by throwing RejectedExecutionException.
Result:
After this change, if the max pending timeouts parameter is passed as constructor argument to HashedWheelTimer, then it keeps a track of pending timeouts that aren't yet expired or cancelled. When a new timeout is being created, it checks for current pending timeouts and if it's equal to or greater than provided max pending timeouts, then it throws RejectedExecutionException.
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress does not correctly translate IPv4 address to String. Also IPv6 addresses may not follow minimization conventions when converting to a String (see rfc 5952).
Modifications:
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should correctly handle negative byte values for IPv4
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should leverage existing to string conversion code in NetUtil
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5821
Motivation:
We not need to do an extra conditional check in retain(...) as we can just check for overflow after we did the increment.
Modifications:
- Remove extra conditional check
- Add test code.
Result:
One conditional check less.
Motivation:
We offer DefaultEventExecutorGroup as an EventExecutorGroup which return OrderedEventExecutor and so provide strict ordering of event execution. One limitations of this implementation is that each contained DefaultEventExecutor will always be tied to a single thread, which can lead to a very unbalanced execution as one thread may be super busy while others are idling.
Modifications:
- Add NonStickyEventExecutorGroup which can be used to wrap another EventExecutorGroup (like UnorderedThreadPoolEventExecutor) and expose ordering while not be sticky with the thread that is used for a given EventExecutor. This basically means that Threads may change between execution of tasks for an EventExecutor but ordering is still guaranteed.
Result:
Better utalization of threads in some use-cases.
Motivation:
To better restrict resource usage we should limit the number of WeakOrderQueue instances per Thread. Once this limit is reached object that are recycled from a different Thread then the allocation Thread are dropped on the floor.
Modifications:
Add new system property io.netty.recycler.maxDelayedQueuesPerThread and constructor that allows to limit the max number of WeakOrderQueue instances per Thread for Recycler instance. The default is 2 * cores (the same as the default number of EventLoop instances per EventLoopGroup).
Result:
Better way to restrict resource / memory usage per Recycler instance.
Motivation:
At the moment the Recyler is very sensitive to allocation bursts which means that if there is a need for X objects for only one time these will most likely end up in the Recycler and sit there forever as the normal workload only need a subset of this number.
Modifications:
Add a ratio which sets how many objects should be pooled for each new allocation. This allows to slowly increase the number of objects in the Recycler while not be to sensitive for bursts.
Result:
Less unused objects in the Recycler if allocation rate sometimes bursts.
Motivation:
We saw some sporadic test failures for GlobalEventExecutorTest.testAutomaticStartStop test. This is caused parallel execution of tests in combination with assert checks that will be affected.
Modifications:
Remove fragile assert checks.
Result:
No more sporadic test failures
Motivation:
The Java version is used for platform dependent logic. Yet, the logic
for acquiring the Java version requires special permissions (the runtime
permission "getClassLoader") that some downstream projects will never
grant. As such, these projects are doomed to have Netty act is their
Java major version is six. While there are ways to maintain the same
logic without requiring these special permissions, the logic is
needlessly complicated because it relies on loading classes that exist
in version n but not version n - 1. This complexity can be removed. As a
bonanza, the dangerous permission is no longer required.
Modifications:
Rather than attempting to load classes that exist in version n but not
in version n - 1, we can just parse the Java specification version. This
only requires a begign property (property permission
"java.specification.version") and is simple.
Result:
Acquisition of the Java version is safe and simple.
Motivation:
A recent change to DefaultThreadFactory modified it so that it is sticky
with respect to thread groups. In particular, this change made it so
that DefaultThreadFactory would hold on to the thread group that created
it, and then use that thread group to create threads.
This can have problematic semantics since it can lead to violations of a
tenet of thread groups that a thread can only modify threads in its own
thread group and descendant thread groups. With a sticky thread group, a
thread triggering the creation of a new thread via
DefaultThreadFactory#newThread will be modifying a thread from the
sticky thread group which will not necessarily be its own nor a
descendant thread group. When a security manager is in place that
enforces this requirement, these modifications are now impossible. This
is especially problematic in the context of Netty because certain global
singletons like GlobalEventExecutor will create a
DefaultThreadFactory. If all DefaultThreadFactory instances are sticky
about their thread groups, it means that submitting tasks to the
GlobalEventExecutor singleton can cause a thread to be created from the
DefaultThreadFactory sticky thread group, exactly the problem with
DefaultThreadFactory being sticky about thread groups. A similar problem
arises from the ThreadDeathWatcher.
Modifications:
This commit modifies DefaultThreadFactory so that a null thread group
can be set with the behavior that all threads created by such an
instance will inherit the default thread group (the thread group
provided by the security manager if there is one, otherwise the thread
group of the creating thread). The construction of the instances of
DefaultThreadFactory used by the GlobalEventExecutor singleton and
ThreadDeathWatcher are modified to use this behavior. Additionally, we
also modify the chained constructor invocations of the
DefaultThreadFactory that do not have a parameter to specify a thread
group to use the thread group from the security manager is available,
otherwise the creating thread's thread group. We also add unit tests
ensuring that all of this behavior is maintained.
Result:
It will be possible to have DefaultThreadFactory instances that are not
sticky about the thread group that led to their creation. Instead,
threads created by such a DefaultThreadFactory will inherit the default
thread group which will either be the thread group from the security
manager or the current thread's thread group.
Motivation:
Currently, the recycler max capacity it's only enforced on the
thread-local stack which is used when the recycling happens on the
same thread that requested the object.
When the recycling happens in a different thread, then the objects
will be queued into a linked list (where each node holds N objects,
default=16). These objects are then transfered into the stack when
new objects are requested and the stack is empty.
The problem is that the queue doesn't have a max capacity and that
can lead to bad scenarios. Eg:
- Allocate 1M object from recycler
- Recycle all of them from different thread
- Recycler WeakOrderQueue will contain 1M objects
- Reference graph will be very long to traverse and GC timeseems to be negatively impacted
- Size of the queue will never shrink after this
Modifications:
Add some shared counter which is used to manage capacity limits when recycle from different thread then the allocation thread. We modify the counter whenever we allocate a new Link to reduce the overhead of increment / decrement it.
Result:
More predictable number of objects mantained in the recycler pool.
Motivation:
Today when awaiting uninterruptibly on a default promise, a race
condition can lead to a missed signal. Quite simply, the check for
whether the condition holds is not made inside a lock before
waiting. This means that the waiting thread can enter the wait after the
promise has completed and will thus not be notified, thus missing the
signal. This leads to the waiting thread to enter a timed wait that will
only trip with the timeout elapses leading to unnecessarily long waits
(imagine a connection timeout, and the waiting thread missed the signal
that the connection is ready).
Modification:
This commit fixes this missed signal by checking the condition inside a
lock. We also add a test that reliably fails without the non-racy
condition check.
Result:
Timed uninterruptible waits on default promise will not race against the
condition and possibly wait longer than necessary.
Motivation:
ExecutorService.invoke*(...) methods may block by API definition. This can lead to deadlocks if called from inside the EventLoop in SingleThreadEventExecutor as it only has one Thread that does all the work.
Modifications:
Throw a RejectedExectionException if someone tries to call SingleThreadEventExecutor.invoke*(...) while in the EventLoop.
Result:
No more deadlock possible.
Motivation:
The current DnsNameResolver does not support search domains resolution. Search domains resolution is supported out of the box by the java.net resolver, making the DnsNameResolver not able to be a drop in replacement for io.netty.resolver.DefaultNameResolver.
Modifications:
The DnsNameResolverContext resolution has been modified to resolve a list of search path first when it is configured so. The resolve method now uses the following algorithm:
if (hostname is absolute (start with dot) || no search domains) {
searchAsIs
} else {
if (numDots(name) >= ndots) {
searchAsIs
}
if (searchAsIs wasn't performed or failed) {
searchWithSearchDomainsSequenciallyUntilOneSucceeds
}
}
The DnsNameResolverBuilder provides configuration for the search domains and the ndots value. The default search domains value is configured with the OS search domains using the same native configuration the java.net resolver uses.
Result:
The DnsNameResolver performs search domains resolution when they are present.
Motivation:
AsciiString.hashCode(o) , if "o" is a subString, the hash code is not always same, when netty’s version is 4.1.1.Final and jdk’s version is 1.6.
Modifications:
Use a test to assert hash codes are equal between a new string and any sub string (a part of a char array),If their values are equal.
Result:
Create a test method to AsciiStringCharacterTest.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent attempts to use reflection to get the underlying char[] (or byte[]) from String objects. This is fragile as if the String implementation does not utilize the full array, and instead uses a subset of the array, this optimization is invalid. OpenJDK6 and some earlier versions of OpenJDK7 String have the capability to use a subsection of the underlying char[].
Modifications:
- PlatformDependent should not attempt to use the underlying array from String (or other data types) via reflection
Result:
PlatformDependent hash code generation for CharSequence does not depend upon specific JDK implementation details.
Motivation:
PR #5355 modified interfaces to reduce GC related to the HPACK code. However this came with an anticipated performance regression related to HpackUtil.equals due to AsciiString's increase cost of charAt(..). We should mitigate this performance regression.
Modifications:
- Introduce an equals method in PlatformDependent which doesn't leak timing information and use this in HpcakUtil.equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5436
Modifications:
DefaultPromise provides a ThreadLocal queue to protect against StackOverflowError because of executors which may immediately execute runnables instead of queue them (i.e. ImmediateEventExecutor). However this may be better addressed by fixing these executors to protect against StackOverflowError instead of just fixing for a single use case. Also the most commonly used executors already provide the desired behavior and don't need the additional overhead of a ThreadLocal queue in DefaultPromise.
Modifications:
- Remove ThreadLocal queue from DefaultPromise
- Change ImmediateEventExecutor so it maintains a queue of runnables if reentrant condition occurs
Result:
DefaultPromise StackOverflowError code is simpler, and ImmediateEventExecutor protects against StackOverflowError.
Motivation:
f2ed3e6ce8039d142e4c047fcc9cf09409105243 removed the previous mechanism for StackOverflowError because it didn't work in all cases (i.e. ImmediateExecutor). However if a chain of listeners which complete other promises is formed there is still a possibility of a StackOverflowError.
Modifications:
- Use a ThreadLocal to save any DefaultPromises which could not be notified due to the stack being too large. After the first DefaultPromise on the stack completes notification this ThreadLocal should be used to notify any DefaultPromises which have not yet been notified.
Result:
DefaultPromise has StackOverflowError protection that works with all EventExecutor types.
Motivation:
Recycler.recycle(...) should not be used anymore and be replaced by Handle.recycle().
Modifications:
Mark it as deprecated and update usage.
Result:
Correctly document deprecated api.
Motivation:
DomainMappingBuilder should have been named as DomainNameMappingBuilder
because it builds a DomainNameMapping.
Modifications:
- Add DomainNameMappingBuilder that does the same job with
DomainMappingBuilder
- Deprecate DomainMappingBuilder and delegate its logic to
DomainNameMappingBuilder
- Remove the references to the deprecated methods and classes related
with domain name mapping
- Miscellaneous:
- Fix Javadoc of DomainNameMapping.asMap()
- Pre-create the unmodifiable map in DomainNameMapping
Result:
- Consistent naming
- Less use of deprecated API
Motivation:
DomainNameMapping.entries() returns Set<Map.Entry<String, V>>, which
doesn't sound very natural.
Modifications:
Replace entries() with asMap() which returns a Map<String, V> instead.
Result:
- Better looking API
- User can do a lookup because it's a Map
Motivation:
See #4200.
Modifications:
Add DomainNameMapping.entries to allow retrieving the domain match lists.
Result:
People can use DomainNameMapping.entries to retrive the match list in DomainNameMapping.
Motivation:
KObjectHashMap.remove(int index) attempts to move back items which may have been displaced because their spot in the hash based array was taken by another item. If this happens the nextIndex reference in PrimitiveIterator will not be updated. At this time the PrimitiveEntry will reference the incorrect index and may result in a NPE.
Modifications:
- If KObjectHashMap.remove(int index) moves entries back then PrimitiveIterator should adjust its nextIndex
Result:
PrimitiveIterator.remove() updates its internal state to reference the new nextIndex and will not NPE.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198
Motivation:
The LateListener logic is prone to infinite loops and relies on being processed in the EventExecutor's thread for synchronization, but this EventExecutor may not be constant. An infinite loop can occur if the EventExecutor's execute method does not introduce a context switch in LateListener.run. The EventExecutor can be changed by classes which inherit from DefaultPromise. For example the DefaultChannelPromise will return w/e EventLoop the channel is registered to, but this EventLoop can change (re-registration).
Modifications:
- Remove the LateListener concept and instead use a single Object to maintain the listeners while still preserving notification order
- Make the result member variable an atomic variable so it can be outside the synchronized(this) blocks
- Cleanup/simplify existing state management code
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5185
Motivation:
Currently the default log level when running tests is debug. When
running the build on the CI server it might be nice to avoid this debug
level and allow for the level to be configured.
Modifications:
Added a logback-test.xml configuration that has been added to the
common module. This allows for the logLevel to be configured.
The default level will still be debug.
Result:
The log level can now be configured from the command line:
$ mvn test -DlogLevel=error
Motivation:
It's better to make all InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons according to the discussions in #5047
Modifications:
Make all InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons and hide the construtors.
Result:
All InternalLoggerFactory implementations be singletons.
Motivation:
See #3095
Modifications:
Add Log4J2LoggerFactory and Log4J2Logger which is an InternalLogger implementation based on log4j2.
Result:
The user can use log4j2 directly without a special slf4j binding.
Motivation:
PromiseAggregator's API allows for the aggregate promise to complete before the user is done adding promises. In order to support this use case the API structure would need to change in a breaking manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate PromiseAggregator and subclasses
- Introduce PromiseCombiner which corrects these issues
Result:
PromiseCombiner corrects the deficiencies in PromiseAggregator.
