Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
* Allow to use native transports when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system
Motivation:
We should be able to use the native transports (epoll / kqueue) even when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system. This is especially important as Java11 will be released soon and does not allow access to it by default.
Modifications:
- Correctly disable usage of sun.misc.Unsafe when -PnoUnsafe is used while running the build
- Correctly increment metric when UnpooledDirectByteBuf is allocated. This was uncovered once -PnoUnsafe usage was fixed.
- Implement fallbacks in all our native transport code for when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8229.
Motivation:
We should support to load multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact as netty is often used in multiple dependencies.
This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7272.
Modifications:
- Use -fvisibility=hidden when compiling and use JNIEXPORT for things we really want to have exported
- Ensure fields are declared as static so these are not exported
- Adjust testsuite-shading to use install_name_tool on MacOS to change the id of the lib. Otherwise the wrong may be used.
Result:
Be able to use multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact.
Motivation:
netty_unix_socket attempts to use nettyClassName in an error message, but previously freed the memory. We should wait to free the memory until after we use it.
Modifications:
- Free nettyClassName after using it in snprintf
Result:
More useful error message.
Motivation:
b818852cdb broke support for shading the native libraries in netty as it missed to respect the package prefix that is used when shading.
Modifications:
Correctly respect package prefix for constructor argument and include the used classname when logging that we could not find the constructor.
Result:
Be able to shade native libraries of netty again.
Motivation:
b818852cdb added support for IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR but did not include any #ifdef statements to ensure its usable at all (which is not the case on MacOS).
Modifications:
Add #ifdef statements to check for IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR.
Result:
Compilation works again on MacOS.
Motivation:
DatagramPacket.recipient() doesn't return the actual destination IP, but the IP the app is bound to.
Modification:
- IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR option is enabled for UDP sockets, which allows retrieval of ancillary information containing the original recipient.
- _recvFrom(...) function from transport-native-unix-common/src/main/c/netty_unix_socket.c is modified such that if IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR is set, recvmsg is used instead of recvfrom; enabling the retrieval of the original recipient.
- DatagramSocketAddress also contains a 'local' address, representing the recipient.
- EpollDatagramChannel is updated to return the retrieved recipient address instead of the address the channel is bound to.
Result:
Fixes#4950.
Motivation:
If close(...) reports EINTR there is nothing sane we can do so it makes no sense to even report it. See also:
https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/pull/217
Modifications:
Just ignore EINTR when calling close(...)
Result:
Less noise in the logs.
Motivation:
We currently not check if the buffer has a memory address and just assume this is the case if the nioBufferCount() == 1.
Modifications:
- Check hasMemoryAddress() before trying to access it.
- Add unit case.
Result:
More correct and robust code. Related to [#7752].
Motivation:
IovArray implements MessageProcessor, and the processMessage method will continue to be called during iteration until it returns true. A recent commit b215794de3 changed the return value to only return true if any component of a CompositeByteBuf was added as a result of the method call. However this results in the iteration continuing, and potentially subsequent smaller buffers maybe added, which will result in out of order writes and generally corrupts data.
Modifications:
- IovArray#add should return false so that the MessageProcessor#processMessage will stop iterating.
Result:
Native transports which use IovArray will not corrupt data during gathering writes of CompositeByteBuf objects.
Motivation:
FileDescriptor#writev calls JNI code, and that JNI code dereferences a NULL pointer which crashes the application. This occurs when writing a single CompositeByteBuf object with more than one component.
Modifications:
- Initialize the iovec iterator properly to avoid the core dump
- Fix the array length calculation if we aren't able to fit all the ByteBuffer objects in the iovec array
Result:
No more core dump.
Motivation:
The writeSpinCount currently loops over the same buffer, gathering
write, file write, or other write operation multiple times but will
continue writing until there is nothing left or the OS doesn't accept
any data for that specific write. However if the OS keeps accepting
writes there is no way to limit how much time we spend on a specific
socket. This can lead to unfair consumption of resources dedicated to a
single socket.
We currently don't limit the amount of bytes we attempt to write per
gathering write. If there are many more bytes pending relative to the
SO_SNDBUF size we will end up building iov arrays with more elements
than can be written, which results in extra iteration, conditionals,
and book keeping.
Modifications:
- writeSpinCount should limit the number of system calls we make to
write data, instead of applying to individual write operations
- IovArray should support a maximum number of bytes
- IovArray should support composite buffers of greater than size 1024
- We should auto-scale the amount of data that we attempt to write per
gathering write operation relative to SO_SNDBUF and how much data is
successfully written
- The non-unsafe path should also support a maximum number of bytes,
and respect the IOV_MAX limit
Result:
Write resource consumption can be bounded and gathering writes have
a limit relative to the amount of data which can actually be accepted
by the socket.
Motivation:
We used NetUtil.isIpV4StackPreferred() when loading JNI code which tries to load NetworkInterface in its static initializer. Unfortunally a lock on the NetworkInterface class init may be already hold somewhere else which may cause a loader deadlock.
Modifications:
Add a new Socket.initialize() method that will be called when init the library and pass everything needed to the JNI level so we not need to call back to java.
Result:
Fixes [#7458].
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
Exception handling is nicer when a more specific Exception is thrown
Modification:
Add a static reference for ENOENT, and throw FNFE if it is returned
Result:
More precise exception handling
Motivation:
To better isolate OS system calls we should not call getsockopt directly but use our netty_unix_socket_getOption0 function. See is a followup of f115bf5.
Modifications:
Export netty_unix_socket_getOption0 by declaring it in the header file and use it
Result:
Better isolation of system calls.
Motivation:
If a user calls EpollSocketChannelConfig.getOptions() and TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT is not supported we throw an exception.
Modifications:
- Just return 0 if ENOPROTOOPT is set.
- Add testcase
Result:
getOptions() works as epxected.
Motivation:
We tried to set IPV6 opts on an ipv4 only system and so failed to set / get the traffic opts. This resulted in a test-error when trying to compile netty on ipv4 only systems.
Modifications:
Use the correct opts depending on if the system is ipv4 only or not.
Result:
Be able to build and use on ipv4 only systems.
Motivation:
We should try to bind to an ipv6 only socket before we enable ipv6 support in the native transport as it may not work due setup of the platform.
Modifications:
Try to bind to ::1 use IPV6 later on if this works
Result:
Fixes [#7021].
Motivation:
At the moment we try to load the library using multiple names which includes names using - but also _ . We should just use _ all the time.
Modifications:
Replace - with _
Result:
Fixes [#7069]
Motivation:
We did not correctly handle connect() and disconnect() in EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel and so the behavior was different compared to NioDatagramChannel.
Modifications:
- Correct implement connect and disconnect methods
- Share connect and related code
- Add tests
Result:
EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel also supports correctly connect() and disconnect() methods.
Motivation:
In some environments, IPv4 may be disabled (at a kernel level).
Google has such an environment for testing v4 -> v6 transition
paths. This give confidence that code is v6 ready.
Modifications:
Change native socket code to ignore failures of trying to enter
dual stack mode. This change has been made to Google's internal
JDK, and will/should be upstreamed to OpenJDK eventually.
Results:
Netty works in IPv6 only environments
Fixes: #6993
Motivation:
We rely upon the linker being non-lazy to test compatibility the native library compatibility for kqueue, but the default mode of operation is to lazy link.
Modifications:
- We should modify the build scripts to inform the linker that this library should not be lazy linked
- Error messages changes
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: unsupported JNI version 0xFFFFFFFF required by .../libnetty-transport-native-kqueue.dylib
Result:
Link errors are detected upon library load time.
fix not execute unit test in transport-native-unix-common-tests module
Motivation:
- Commit 047da11 introduced an bug for still copy byteBuf for composed of n(n <= IOV_MAX) NIO direct buffers
- Commit 3c4dfed add UnixChannelUtilTest in transport-native-unix-common-tests module, but not execute in maven compile
as issue #6825, #6870
Modifications:
- modified UnixChannelUtil#isBufferCopyNeededForWrite(ByteBuf), and UnixChannelUtilTest
- move UnixChannelUtilTest into transport-native-unix-common module, and add packet scope method UnixChannelUtil#isBufferCopyNeededForWrite(ByteBuf, int)
Result:
- no copy byteBuf for composed of n(n <= IOV_MAX) NIO direct buffers
- auto execute unit tests in UnixChannelUtilTest and it is easier to mock IOV_MAX
Motivation:
Enable static linking for Java 8. These commits are the same as those introduced to netty tcnative. The goal is to allow lots of JNI libraries to be statically linked together without having conflict `JNI_OnLoad` methods.
Modification:
* add JNI_OnLoad suffixes to enable static linking
* Add static names to the list of libraries that try to be loaded
* Enable compiling with JNI 1.8
* Sort includes
Result:
Enable statically linked JNI code.
Motivation:
Google requires stricter compilation by adding -Werror and enabling many other warnings.
Modification:
* fix warning caused by -Wmissing-braces
* Use the address of `sendmmsg` rather than the function itself when
checking for presence. This resovles the warning caused by
`-Wpointer-bool-conversion`.
More detail:
When compiling on Linux, `sendmmsg` is always present, so the
function is always nonnull. When compiling elsewhere, the
function is defined as `__attribute__((weak))` which means it
may be absent at link time. This is controlled by
`IO_NETTY_SENDMMSG_NOT_FOUND`, which is off by default.
The reason for the error is due to the risk of accidentally not
calling the function. By adding `&` before the function, there
is no ambiguity. (the result of the fn call cannot have its
address taken.)
* use != to check for sendmmsg
Result:
Easier compilation.
Motivation:
Commit 3c4dfed08a introduced a regression in handling buffers that have no memoryAddress.
Modifications:
Fix regression and also add unit tests.
Result:
It's possible again to write buffers without memory address.
Motivation:
We used strstr to find the path to the library, which fails if the library is contained in a directory that also matches the library name.
Modifications:
- Introduce netty_unix_util_strstr_last which will return a pointer which points to the last accourance and so not fails if the direct also matches the library name.
Result:
Be able to load the library in all cases.
Motivation:
1. special handling of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer rather than type of CompositeByteBuf (eg. DuplicatedByteBuf with CompositeByteBuf)
2. EpollDatagramUnicastTest and KQueueDatagramUnicastTest passed because CompositeByteBuf is converted to DuplicatedByteBuf before write to channel
3. uninitalized struct msghdr will raise error
Modifications:
1. isBufferCopyNeededForWrite(like isSingleDirectBuffer in NioDatgramChannel) checks wether a new direct buffer is needed
2. special handling of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer in EpollDatagramChannel, AbstractEpollStreamChannel, KQueueDatagramChannel, AbstractKQueueStreamChannel and IovArray
3. initalize struct msghdr
Result:
handle of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer in EpollDatagramChannel and KQueueDatagramChannel are ok
Motivation:
MacOS will throw an error when attempting to set the IP_TOS socket option if IPv6 is available, and also when getting the value for IP_TOS.
Modifications:
- Socket#setTrafficClass and Socket#getTrafficClass should try to use IPv6 first, and check if the error code indicates the protocol is not supported before trying IPv4
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6741.
Motivation:
To ensure the release plugin works correctly we need to ensure all modules are included during build.
Modification:
- Include all modules
- Skip compilation and tests for native code when not supported but still include the module and build the jar
Result:
Build and release works again
Motivation:
We currently don't have a native transport which supports kqueue https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2. This can be useful for BSD systems such as MacOS to take advantage of native features, and provide feature parity with the Linux native transport.
Modifications:
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common module with all the java classes and JNI code for generic unix items. This module will build a static library for each unix platform, and included in the dynamic libraries used for JNI (e.g. transport-native-epoll, and eventually kqueue).
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common-tests module where the tests for the transport-native-unix-common module will live. This is so each unix platform can inherit from these test and ensure they pass.
- Add a new transport-native-kqueue module which uses JNI to directly interact with kqueue
Result:
JNI support for kqueue.
