Related: #3166
Motivation:
When the recyclable object created at one thread is returned at the
other thread, it is stored in a WeakOrderedQueue.
The objects stored in the WeakOrderedQueue is added back to the stack by
WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() when the owner thread ran out of recyclable
objects.
However, WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() does not have any mechanism that
prevents the stack from growing beyond its maximum capacity.
Modifications:
- Make WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() increase the capacity of the stack
only up to its maximum
- Add tests for the cases where the recyclable object is returned at the
non-owner thread
- Fix a bug where Stack.scavengeSome() does not scavenge the objects
when it's the first time it ran out of objects and thus its cursor is
null.
- Overall clean-up of scavengeSome() and transfer()
Result:
The capacity of Stack never increases beyond its maximum.
Motivation:
io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.isRoot() depends on the IS_ROOT field which is filled in during class initialization. This spawns processes and consumes resources, which are not generally necessary to the complete functioning of that class.
Modifications:
This switches the class to use lazy initialization this field inside of the isRoot() method using double-checked locking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-checked_locking).
Result:
The first call to isRoot() will be slightly slower, at a tradeoff that class loading is faster, uses fewer resources and platform errors are avoided unless necessary.
- Parameterize DomainNameMapping to make it useful for other use cases
than just mapping to SslContext
- Move DomainNameMapping to io.netty.util
- Clean-up the API documentation
- Make SniHandler.hostname and sslContext volatile because they can be
accessed by non-I/O threads
Motivation:
When we need to host multiple server name with a single IP, it requires
the server to support Server Name Indication extension to serve clients
with proper certificate. So the SniHandler will host multiple
SslContext(s) and append SslHandler for requested hostname.
Modification:
* Added SniHandler to host multiple certifications in a single server
* Test case
Result:
User could use SniHandler to host multiple certifcates at a time.
It's server-side only.
Motivation:
8fbc513 introduced stray warnings in callsites of
PromiseAggregator#add and PromiseNotifier#(...).
Modifications:
This commit adds the @SafeVarargs annotation to PromiseAggregator#add
and PromiseNotifier#(...). As Netty is built with JDK7, this is a
recognized annotation and should not affect runtime VM versions 1.5 and
1.6.
Result:
Building Netty with JDK7 will no longer produce warnings in the
callsites mentioned above.
Motivation:
Although the new IntObjectMap.values() that returns Collection is
useful, the removed values(Class<V>) that returns an array is also
useful. It's also good for backward compatibility.
Modifications:
- Add IntObjectMap.values(Class<V>) back
- Miscellaneous improvements
- Cache the collection returned by IntObjectHashMap.values()
- Inspector warnings
- Update the IntObjectHashMapTest to test both values()
Result:
- Backward compatibility
- Potential performance improvement of values()
Motivation:
The mentioned commit contains a bug fix and an improvement in
IntObjectHashMap that requires backporting.
Modifications:
Update IntObjectMap, IntObjectHashMap, and IntObjectHashMapTest
Result:
Easier to backport HTTP/2 and other changes in master in the future
Motivation:
Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.
Modifications:
- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.
Result:
Performance improvements.
Motivation:
NetUtil.isValidIpV6Address() handles the interface name in IPv6 address
incorrectly. For example, it returns false for the following addresses:
- ::1%lo
- ::1%_%_in_name_
Modifications:
- Strip the square brackets before validation for simplicity
- Strip the part after the percent sign completely before validation for
simplicity
- Simplify and reformat NetUtilTest
Result:
- The interface names in IPv6 addresses are handled correctly.
- NetUtilTest is cleaner
Motivation:
ChannelPromiseAggregator and ChannelPromiseNotifiers only allow
consumers to work with Channels as the result type. Generic versions
of these classes allow consumers to aggregate or broadcast the results
of an asynchronous execution with other result types.
Modifications:
Add PromiseAggregator and PromiseNotifier. Add unit tests for both.
Remove code in ChannelPromiseAggregator and ChannelPromiseNotifier and
modify them to extend the new base classes.
Result:
Consumers can now aggregate or broadcast the results of an asynchronous
execution with results types other than Channel.
Motivation:
Improvements were made on the main line to support ALPN and mutual
authentication for TLS. These should be backported.
Modifications:
- Backport commits from the master branch
- f8af84d599
- e74c8edba3
Result:
Support for ALPN and mutual authentication.
Motivation
4.0 was not modified in the same time than 4.1 while the difference was
limited.
Include the fix on "=" character in Boundary.
Issue #3004 shows that "=" character was not supported as it should in
the HttpPostRequestDecoder in form-data boundary.
Modifications:
Backport from 4.1 to 4.0 while respecting interfaces.
Add 2 methods in StringUtil
- split with maxParm argument: String split with max parts only (to prevent multiple '='
to be source of extra split while not needed)
- substringAfter: String part after delimiter (since first part is not
needed)
Use those methods in HttpPostRequestDecoder.
Change and the HttpPostRequestDecoderTest to check using a boundary
beginning with "=".
Results:
Backport done (Issue #2886 fix)
Issue #3004 fix too
The fix implies more stability and fix the relative issues.
Motivation:
Using a needless local copy of keys.length.
Modifications:
Using keys.length explicitly everywhere.
Result:
Slight performance improvement of hashIndex.
Motivation:
The hashIndex method currently uses a conditional to handle negative
keys. This could be done without a conditional to slightly improve
performance.
Modifications:
Modified hashIndex() to avoid using a conditional.
Result:
Slight performance improvement to hashIndex().
Motivation:
IntObjectHashMap throws an exception when using negative values for
keys.
Modifications:
Changed hashIndex() to normalize the index if the mod operation returns
a negative number.
Result:
IntObjectHashMap supports negative key values.
Motivation:
An IPv6 string can have a zone index which is followed by the '%' sign.
When a user passes an IPv6 string with a zone index,
NetUtil.createByteArrayFromIpAddressString() returns an incorrect value.
Modification:
- Strip the zone index before conversion
Result:
An IPv6 string with a zone index is decoded correctly.
Motivation:
This fixes bug #2848 which caused Recycler to become unbounded and cache infinite number of objects with maxCapacity that's not a power of two. This can result in general sluggishness of the application and OutOfMemoryError.
Modifications:
The test for maxCapacity has been moved out of test to check if the buffer has filled. The buffer is now also capped at maxCapacity and cannot grow over it as it jumps from one power of two to the other.
Additionally, a unit test was added to verify maxCapacity is honored even when it's not a power of two.
Result:
With these changes the user is able to use a custom maxCapacity number and not have it ignored. The unit test assures this bug will not repeat itself.
Motivation:
There is not need todo redunant reads of head in peakNode as we can just spin on next() until it becomes visible.
Modifications:
Remove redundant reads of head in peakNode. This is based on @nitsanw's patch for akka.
See https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/15596
Result:
Less volatile access.
Motivation:
Recently we changed the default value of SOMAXCONN that is used when we can not determine it by reading /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn. While doing this we missed to update the javadocs to reflect the new default value that is used.
Modifications:
List correct default value in the javadocs of SOMAXCONN.
Result:
Correct javadocs.
Related issue: #2407
Motivation:
The current fallback SOMAXCONN value is 3072. It is way too large
comparing to the default SOMAXCONN value of popular OSes.
Modifications:
Decrease the fallback SOMAXCONN value to 128 or 200 depending on the
current OS
Result:
Saner fallback value
Motivation:
The calculation of the max wait time for HashedWheelTimerTest.testExecutionOnTime() was wrong and so the test sometimes failed.
Modifications:
Fix the max wait time.
Result:
No more test-failures
Motivation:
We forgot to do a null check on the cause parameter of
ChannelFuture.setFailure(cause)
Modifications:
Add a null check
Result:
Fixed issue: #2728
Motivation:
While trying to merge our ChannelOutboundBuffer changes we've made last
week, I realized that we have quite a bit of conflicting changes at 4.1
and master. It was primarily because we added
ChannelOutboundBuffer.beforeAdd() and moved some logic there, such as
direct buffer conversion.
However, this is not possible with the changes we've made for 4.0. We
made ChannelOutboundBuffer final for example.
Maintaining multiple branch is already getting painful and having
different core will make it even worse, so I think we should keep the
differences between 4.0 and other branches minimal.
Modifications:
- Move ChannelOutboundBuffer.safeRelease() to ReferenceCountUtil
- Add ByteBufUtil.threadLocalBuffer()
- Backported from ThreadLocalPooledDirectByteBuf
- Make most methods in AbstractUnsafe final
- Add AbstractChannel.filterOutboundMessage() so that a transport can
convert a message to another (e.g. heap -> off-heap), and also
reject unsupported messages
- Move all direct buffer conversions to filterOutboundMessage()
- Move all type checks to filterOutboundMessage()
- Move AbstractChannel.checkEOF() to OioByteStreamChannel, because it's
the only place it is used at all
- Remove ChannelOutboundBuffer.current(Object), because it's not used
anymore
- Add protected direct buffer conversion methods to AbstractNioChannel
and AbstractEpollChannel so that they can be used by their subtypes
- Update all transport implementations according to the changes above
Result:
- The missing extension point in 4.0 has been added.
- AbstractChannel.filterOutboundMessage()
- Thanks to the new extension point, we moved all transport-specific
logic from ChannelOutboundBuffer to each transport implementation
- We can copy most of the transport implementations in 4.0 to 4.1 and
master now, so that we have much less merge conflict when we modify
the core.
Motivation:
As /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn does not exists on non-linux platforms you see a noisy stacktrace when debug level is enabled while the static method of NetUtil is executed.
Modifications:
Check if the file exists before try to parse it.
Result:
Less noisy logging on non-linux platforms.
Motivation:
While benchmarking the native transport, I noticed that gathering write
is not as fast as expected. It was due to the fact that we have to do a
lot of array copies to put the buffer addresses into the iovec struct
array.
Modifications:
Introduce a new class called IovArray, which allows to fill buffers
directly into an off-heap array of iovec structs, so that it can be
passed over to JNI without any extra array copies.
Result:
Big performance improvement when doing gathering writes:

Motivation:
Due some race-condition while handling canellation of TimerTasks it was possibleto corrupt the linked-list structure that is represent by HashedWheelBucket and so produce a NPE.
Modification:
Fix the problem by adding another MpscLinkedQueue which holds the cancellation tasks and process them on each tick. This allows to use no synchronization / locking at all while introduce a latency of max 1 tick before the TimerTask can be GC'ed.
Result:
No more NPE
- Rewrite with linear probing, no state array, compaction at cleanup
- Optimize keys() and values() to not use reflection
- Optimize hashCode() and equals() for efficient iteration
- Fixed equals() to not return true for equals(null)
- Optimize iterator to not allocate new Entry at each next()
- Added toString()
- Added some new unit tests
Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.
Result:
Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
Motivation:
Fix some typos in Netty.
Modifications:
- Fix potentially dangerous use of non-short-circuit logic in Recycler.transfer(Stack<?>).
- Removed double 'the the' in javadoc of EmbeddedChannel.
- Write to log an exception message if we can not get SOMAXCONN in the NetUtil's static block.
Modifications:
- Added a static modifier for CompositeByteBuf.Component.
This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
A boxed primitive is created from a String, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Removed unnecessary checks if file exists before call mkdirs() in NativeLibraryLoader and PlatformDependent.
Because the method mkdirs() has this check inside.

Motivations:
In our new version of HWT we used some kind of lazy cancelation of timeouts by put them back in the queue and let them pick up on the next tick. This multiple problems:
- we may corrupt the MpscLinkedQueue if the task is used as tombstone
- this sometimes lead to an uncessary delay especially when someone did executed some "heavy" logic in the TimeTask
Modifications:
Use a Lock per HashedWheelBucket for save and fast removal.
Modifications:
Cancellation of tasks can be done fast and so stuff can be GC'ed and no more infinite-loop possible
