Motivation:
We used transfered in native code which is not correct spelling. It should be transferred.
Modifications:
Fix typo.
Result:
Less typos in source code.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine calls rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation in a scenario where the number of handshakes has not been observed to change. The number of handshakes has only been observed to change after readPlaintextData is called.
Modifications:
- Remove the call to rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation before calls to readPlaintextData
Result:
Less code.
Motivation:
InetSocketAddressResolver.close() must call close() on the wrapped NameResolver.
Modifications:
Correctly call close() on wrapped NameResolver and added test.
Result:
close() is correctly propergated to the wrapped resolver.
Motivation:
Using the Cleaner to release the native memory has a few drawbacks:
- Cleaner.clean() uses static synchronized internally which means it can be a performance bottleneck
- It put more load on the GC
Modifications:
Add new buffer implementations that can be enabled with a system flag as optimizations. In this case no Cleaner is used at all and the user must ensure everything is always released.
Result:
Less performance impact by direct buffers when need to be allocated and released.
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:
For example,
DefaultHttp2Headers headers = new DefaultHttp2Headers();
headers.add("key1", "value1");
headers.add("key1", "value2");
headers.add("key1", "value3");
headers.add("key2", "value4");
produces:
DefaultHttp2Headers[key1: value1key1: value2key1: value3, key2: value4]
while correctly it should be
DefaultHttp2Headers[key1: value1, key1: value2, key1: value3, key2: value4]
Modifications:
Change the toString() method to produce the beforementioned output.
Result:
toString() format is correct also for keys with multiple values.
Motivation:
For lack of a better way the SocketRstTest inspects the content of the exception message to check if a RST occurred. However on windows the exception message is different than on other Unix based platforms and the assertion statement fails.
Modifications:
- Hack another string check in the unit test
Result:
SocketRstTest passes on windows
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5335
Motivation:
Under very unlikely (however possible) circumstances, Recycler may leak
references. This happens _only_ when the object was already recycled
at least once (which means it's got written to the stack) and then
taken out again, and never returned.
The "never returned" part may be the fault of the user (forgotten
`finally` clause) or the situation when Recycler drops the possibly
youngest item itself.
Modifications:
Nullify the item taken from the stack.
Result:
Reference is cleaned up. If the object is lost, it will be a subject for
GC. The rest of Stack / Recycler functionality remains unaffected.
Motivation:
Sometimes people may want to trade GC with memory overhead. For this it can be useful to allow to change the capacity of the array that is hold in the Link that is used by the Recycler internally.
Modifications:
Introduce a new system property , io.netty.recycler.linkCapacity which allows to change the capcity.
Result:
More flexible configuration of netty.
Motivation:
The user may specify to use a different allocator then the default. In this case we need to ensure it is shared when creating the EmbeddedChannel inside of a ChannelHandler
Modifications:
Use the config of the "original" Channel in the EmbeddedChannel and so share the same allocator etc.
Result:
Same type of buffers are used.
Motivation:
Currenlty, netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is not packed as OSGi bundle
and thus not working in OSGi environment.
Modifications:
In netty-transport-native-epoll's pom.xml added configuration
to attach manifest to the jar with a native library.
In netty-common's pom.xml added configuration instruction (DynamicImport-Package)
to maven bnd plugin to make sure the native code is loaded from
netty-transport-native-epoll bundle.
Result:
The netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is a bundle (MANIFEST.MF attached)
and the inluced native library can be successfuly loaded in OSGi environment.
Fixing #5119
Motivation:
Unsafe offers a method to set memory to a specific value. This can be used to implement an optimized version of setZero(...) and writeZero(...)
Modifications:
Add implementation for all Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.
Result:
Faster setZero(...) and writeZero(...)
Motivation:
There is a small race while adding handlers to the pipeline because callHandlerAddedForAllHandlers() may not be run when the user calls add* but the Channel is already registered.
Modifications:
Ensure we always delay handlerAdded(..) / handlerRemoved(...) until callHandlerAddedForAllHandlers() was called.
Result:
No more race on pipeline modifications possible.
Motivation:
We can remove the volatile keyword from the cached Runnables as at worse these will just be re-created.
Modifications:
Remove volatile.
Result:
Less overhead.
Motivation:
When netty is used with open ssl provider and client authentication the following errors can occur:
error:140D9115:SSL routines:ssl_get_prev_session:session id context uninitialized
error:140A1175:SSL routines:ssl_bytes_to_cipher_list:inappropriate fallback
error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
Modifications:
Set the session id context in OpenSslServerContext so that sessions which use client authentication
which are cached have the same context id value.
Result:
Client authentication now works with open ssl provider.
Motivation:
SingleThreadEventExecutor.pendingTasks() will call taskQueue.size() to get the number of pending tasks in the queue. This is not safe when using MpscLinkedQueue as size() is only allowed to be called by a single consumer.
Modifications:
Ensure size() is only called from the EventLoop.
Result:
No more livelock possible when call pendingTasks, no matter from which thread it is done.
Motivation:
maven-dependency-plugin will include dependencies of all scopes by default. We should limit the scope to avoid pulling test dependencies. See #5317.
Modifications:
Add includeScope to avoid pulling test dependencies.
Result:
netty-all doesn't include codes from netty-build
Motivation:
Performing a server upgrade with a new initial flow control window will cause an NPE in the DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController. This is due to the fact that the monitor does not check whether or not the channel is writable.
Modifications:
Added a check for channel writability before calling `writePendingBytes`. Also fixed a unit test that was supposed to be testing this :).
Result:
Fixes#5301
Motivation:
f2ed3e6ce8 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:
If the executor changes while listeners are added and notification of listeners is being done then listeners can be notified out of order and concurrently. We should ensure that only one executor is used at any given time to notify listeners and ensure the listeners are notified in FIFO order.
Modifications:
- Move the notifyingListeners member variable from DefaultPromise into the synchronized block to prevent concurrent notification of listeners and preserve FIFO notification order
Result:
If the executor is changed for a DefaultPromise the listener notification order should be FIFO.
Motivation:
While doing 8fe3c83e4c I made a change which disallowed using null as name for handlers in the pipeline (this generated a new name before).
Modifications:
Revert to old behaviour and adding test case.
Result:
Allow null name again
Motivation:
At the moment the user is responsible to increase the writer index of the composite buffer when a new component is added. We should add some methods that handle this for the user as this is the most popular usage of the composite buffer.
Modifications:
Add new methods that autoamtically increase the writerIndex when buffers are added.
Result:
Easier usage of CompositeByteBuf.
Motivation:
EventLoopGroup.register doesn't need the Channel paramter when ChannelPromise is provided as we can get the Channel from ChannelPromise. Resolves#2422.
Modifications:
- Add EventLoopGroup.register(ChannelPromise)
- Deprecate EventLoopGroup.register(Channel, ChannelPromise)
Result:
EventLoopGroup.register is more convenient as people only need to set one parameter.
Motivation:
DefaultChannelPipeline was tightly coupled to AbstractChannel which is not really needed.
Modifications:
Move logic of calling handlerAdded(...) for handlers that were added before the Channel was registered to DefaultChannelPipeline by making it part of the head context.
Result:
Less coupling and so be able to use DefaultChannelPipeline also with other Channel implementations that not extend AbstractChannel
Motivation:
We do a "blind" cast to AbstractChannel in AbstractChannelHandlerContext which we should better no do. It would be better to decouble AbstractChannelHandlerContext from AbstractChannel.
Modifications:
Decouble AbstractChannelHandlerContext from AbstractChannel by move logic to DefaultChannelPipeline
Result:
Less coubling and less casting.
Motivation:
If the user will use addLast(...) on the ChannelPipeline of EmbeddedChannel after its constructor was run it will break the EmbeddedChannel as it will not be able to collect inbound messages and exceptions.
Modifications:
Ensure addLast(...) work as expected by move the logic of handling messages and exceptions ti protected methods of DefaultChannelPipeline and use a custom implementation for EmbeddedChannel
Result:
addLast(...) works as expected when using EmbeddedChannel.
Motivation:
We missed to override a few methods and so some actions on the ByteBuf failed.
Modifications:
- Override all methods
- Add unit tests to ensure all is fixed.
Result:
All *LeakAware*ByteBuf have correct implementations
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:
Some tests in PooledByteBufAllocatorTest are blocking on a CountDownLatch. We should use a timeout on these tests so these will not block forever on a failure.
Modifications:
Add timeout param to @Test annotation
Result:
Have sane timeouts on tests.
Motivation:
DefaultByteBufHolder.equals(...) and hashCode() should be implemented so it works correctly with instances that share the same content.
Modifications:
Add implementations and a unit-test.
Result:
Have correctly working equals(...) and hashCode() method
Motivation:
99dfc9ea79 introduced some code that will more frequently try to forward messages out of the list of decoded messages to reduce latency and memory footprint. Unfortunally this has the side-effect that RecycleableArrayList.clear() will be called more often and so introduce some overhead as ArrayList will null out the array on each call.
Modifications:
- Introduce a CodecOutputList which allows to not null out the array until we recycle it and also allows to access internal array with extra range checks.
- Add benchmark that add elements to different List implementations and clear them
Result:
Less overhead when decode / encode messages.

Motivation:
The Bootstrap class (applies also to AbstractBootstrap and ServerBootstrap) has a few package private getter methods and some things such as #attr() and #options() aren't exposed at all.
Modifications:
Expose "getters" for configured things in a safe-manner via the config() method.
Result:
Easier for the user to check what is configured for a Bootstrap/ServerBootstrap.
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:
As reported in #4211, when using Netty in Tomcat (or other container based deployment), ForkJoinPool leaks an instance of `Submitter` so that the class loader of `Submitter` won't be GCed. However, since `Submitter` is just a wrapper of `int`, we can replace it with `int[1]`.
Modifications:
Replace `Submitter` with `int[1]`.
Result:
No class loader leak in ForkJoinPool when using in a container.
Motivation:
The DuplexChannel is currently incomplete and only supports shutting down the output side of a channel. This interface should also support shutting down the input side of the channel.
Modifications:
- Add shutdownInput and shutdown methods to the DuplexChannel interface
- Remove state in NIO and OIO for tracking input being shutdown independent of the underlying transport's socket type. Tracking the state independently may lead to inconsistent state.
Result:
DuplexChannel supports shutting down the input side of the channel
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5175
Motivation:
The HPACK code currently disallows empty header names. This is not explicitly forbidden by the HPACK RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7541. However the HTTP/1.x RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2 and thus HTTP/2 both disallow empty header names, and so this precondition check should be moved from the HPACK code to the protocol level.
HPACK also requires that string literals which are huffman encoded must be treated as an encoding error if the string has more than 7 trailing padding bits https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7541#section-5.2, but this is currently not enforced.
Result:
- HPACK to allow empty header names
- HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 header validation should not allow empty header names
- Enforce max of 7 trailing padding bits
Result:
Code is more compliant with the above mentioned RFCs
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5228
Related issue: #5179
Motivation:
When you attempt to make a lot of connection attempts to the same target
host at the same time and our DNS resolver does not have a record for it
in the cache, the DNS resolver will send as many DNS queries as the
number of connection attempts.
As a result, DNS server will reject or drop the requests, making the
name resolution attempt fail.
Modifications:
- Add InflightNameResolver that keeps the list of name resolution
queries and subscribes to the future of the matching query instead of
sending a duplicate query.
Result:
- The AddressResolvers created by DnsAddressResolverGroup do not send
duplicate DNS queries anymore
Motivation:
When a user has multiple EventLoops in an EventLoopGroup and calls pipeline.add* / remove* / replace from an EventLoop that belongs to another Channel it is possible to deadlock if the other EventLoop does the same.
Modification:
- Only ensure the actual modification takes place in a synchronized block and not wait until the handlerAdded(...) / handlerRemoved(...) method is called. This is ok as we submit the task to the executor while still holding the look and so ensure correct order of pipeline modifications.
- Ensure if an AbstractChannelHandlerContext is put in the linked-list structure but the handlerAdded(...) method was not called we skip it until handlerAdded(...) was called. This is needed to ensure handlerAdded(...) is always called first.
Result:
Its not possible to deadlock when modify the DefaultChannelPipeline.
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:
We tried to provide the ability for the user to change the semantics of the threading-model by delegate the invoking of the ChannelHandler to the ChannelHandlerInvoker. Unfortunually this not really worked out quite well and resulted in just more complexity and splitting of code that belongs together. We should remove the ChannelHandlerInvoker again and just do the same as in 4.0
Modifications:
Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker again and replace its usage in Http2MultiplexCodec
Result:
Easier code and less bad abstractions.
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.
