Motivation:
To prevent from DOS attacks it can be useful to disable remote initiated renegotiation.
Modifications:
Add new flag to OpenSslContext that can be used to disable it
Adding a testcase
Result:
Remote initiated renegotion requests can be disabled now.
Motivation:
The way of firstIndexOf and lastIndexOf iterating the ByteBuf is similar to forEachByte and forEachByteDesc, but have many range checks.
Modifications:
Use forEachByte and a IndexOfProcessor to find occurrence.
Result:
eliminate range checks
RFC6265 specifies which characters are allowed in a cookie name and value.
Netty is currently too lax, which can used for HttpOnly escaping.
Modification:
In ServerCookieDecoder: discard cookie key-value pairs that contain invalid characters.
In ClientCookieEncoder: throw an exception when trying to encode cookies with invalid characters.
Result:
The problem described in the motivation section is fixed.
Motivation:
NioUdtByteAcceptorChannel and NioUdtMessageAcceptorChannel have almost same code.
For maintainability, it's better to remove it.
Motification:
- Pulled a member(METADATA) and methods(doReadMessage() and metadata() up.
- Added newConnectorChannel().
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
In the SslHandler we schedule a timeout at which we close the Channel if a timeout was detected during close_notify. Because this can race with notify the flushFuture we can see an IllegalStateException when the Channel is closed.
Modifications:
- Use a trySuccess() and tryFailure(...) to guard against race.
Result:
No more race.
Motivation:
We should not trigger channelWritabilityChanged during failing message when we are about to close the Channel as otherwise the use may try again writing even if the Channel is about to get closed.
Modifications:
Add new boolean param to ChannelOutboundBuffer.failFlushed(...) which allows to specify if we should notify or not.
Result:
channelWritabilityChanged is not triggered anymore if we cloe the Channel because of an IOException during write.
Motivation:
Previously, we deferred the closing of the Channel when we were flushing. This is problematic as this means that if the user adds a ChannelFutureListener, that will close the Channel, the closing will not happen until we are done with flushing. This can lead to more data is sent than expected.
Modifications:
- Do not defer closing when in flush
Result:
Correctly respect order of events and closing the Channel ASAP
Motivation:
channelUDT() can't handle NioUdtByteRendezvousChannel and NioUdtMessageRendezvousChannel because those are handled by the checking condition of their parent.
Motification:
Reorder checking conditions.
Result:
Bugfixed.
Motivation:
The semantic of LocalChannel.doWrite(...) were a bit off as it notified the ChannelFuture before the data was actual moved to the peer buffer.
Modifications:
- Use our MPSC queue as inbound buffer
- Directly copy to data to the inbound buffer of the peer and either success or fail the promise after each copy.
Result:
Correct semantic and less memory copies.
Motivation:
Currently mutual auth is not supported when using OpenSslEngine.
Modification:
- Add support to OpenSslClientContext
- Correctly throw SSLHandshakeException when an error during handshake is detected
Result:
Mutual auth can be used with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
When EPOLLRDHUP is received we need to try to read at least one time to ensure
that we read all pending data from the socket. Otherwise we may loose data.
Modifications:
- Ensure we read all data from socket
- Ensure file descriptor is closed on doClose() even if doDeregister() throws an Exception.
- Only handle either EPOLLRDHUP or EPOLLIN as only one is needed to detect connection reset.
Result:
No more data loss on connection reset.
Motivation:
When using epoll_ctl we should respect the return value and do the right thing depending on it.
Modifications:
Adjust java and native code to respect epoll_ctl return values.
Result:
Correct and cleaner code.
Motiviation:
If user events or excpetions reach the tail end of the pipeline they are not released. This could result in buffer leaks.
Motivation:
- Use the ReferenceCountUtil.release to release objects for the userEventTriggered and exceptionCaught methods on DefaultChannelPipeline
Result:
2 less areas where buffer leaks can occur.
Motivation:
Because we tried to grab the SSL renegotation future to early we could see test-failures.
Modifications:
Access the future at the correct time.
Result:
No more test-failures.
Motivation:
All read operations should be safe to execute from multiple threads which was not the case and so could produce a livelock.
Modifications:
Modify methods so these are safe to be called from multiple threads.
Result:
No more livelock.
Modifications:
- Add jetty.npn.version.latest and jetty.alpn.version.latest7/8
- Add npn-alpn-7 profile
- Use the *.latest7/8 version properties in alpn-8 and npn-alpn-7
- Add more profiles for newer JDK versions
- Reorder profiles
Motivation:
The SSL peer who did not initiate renegotiation sometimes does not get
the notification for renegotition due to an unknown reason.
Modification:
Until the exact cause is understood, relax the assertions of the flaky
tests.
Result:
Build stability
Motivation:
The current heap dump compression preset (9) requires way too much
memory (768 MiB at maximum for dictionary), resulting in OOME in many
cases.
Modifications:
- Use the default preset (6) which uses 8 MiB dictionary.
- Do not fail abruptly even when OOME has been raised.
Result:
More stable heap dump acquisition
Motivation:
Many projects need some kind a Channel/Connection pool implementation. While the protocols are different many things can be shared, so we should provide a generic API and implementation.
Modifications:
Add ChannelPool / ChannelPoolMap API and implementations.
Result:
Reusable / Generic pool implementation that users can use.
Motivation:
Some SCTP applications require the SCTP unordered flag.
This flag was not exposed by Netty so applications were unable
to use it.
Modifications:
- Add unordered flag to SctpMessage.
- {Nio,Oio}SctpChannel pass unordered flag to MessageInfo on write.
- SctpOutboundByteStreamHandler may optionally request unordered
delivery for all outbound messages.
- Added test case to SctpEchoTest using unordered flag.
Result:
Fixes#3698. New constructors and methods added to SctpMessage and
SctpOutboundByteStreamHandler, but changes are backward compatible.
Motivation:
Linux supports splice(...) to transfer data from one filedescriptor to another without
pass data through the user-space. This allows to write high-performant proxy code or to stream
stuff from the socket directly the the filesystem.
Modification:
Add AbstractEpollStreamChannel.spliceTo(...) method to support splice(...) system call
Result:
Splice is now supported when using the native linux transport.
Conflicts:
transport-native-epoll/src/main/java/io/netty/channel/epoll/AbstractEpollStreamChannel.java
Motivation:
We are currently doing a memory cop to extract the frame in LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder which can be eliminated.
Modifications:
Use buffer.slice(...).retain() to eliminate the memory copy.
Result:
Better performance.
Motivation:
Because of a bug we missed to fail the connect future when doClose() is called. This can lead to a future which is never notified and so may lead to deadlocks in user-programs.
Modifications:
Correctly fail the connect future when doClose() is called and the connection was not established yet.
Result:
Connect future is always notified.
Motivation:
When a SecurityManager is in place that preven reading the somaxconn file trying to bootstrap a channel later will result in a ClassNotFoundError.
Modifications:
- Reading the file in a privileged block.
Result:
No more ClassNotFoundError when a SecurityManager is in place.
Motivation:
static Package getPackage(Class<?> c) uses synchronized block internally.
Thanks to @jingene for the hint and initial report of the issue.
Modifications:
-Use simple lastIndexOf(...) and substring for a faster implementation
Result:
No more lock condition.
Motivation:
The LineBasedFrameDecoder discardedBytes counting different compare to
DelimiterBasedFrameDecoder.
Modifications:
Add plus sign
Result:
DiscardedBytes counting correctly
Motivation:
CompositeByteBuf.iterator() currently creates a new ArrayList and fill it with the ByteBufs, which is more expensive then it needs to be.
Modifications:
- Use special Iterator implementation
Result:
Less overhead when calling iterator()
Motivation:
Our automatically handling of non-auto-read failed because it not detected the need of calling read again by itself if nothing was decoded. Beside this handling of non-auto-read never worked for SslHandler as it always triggered a read even if it decoded a message and auto-read was false.
This fixes [#3529] and [#3587].
Modifications:
- Implement handling of calling read when nothing was decoded (with non-auto-read) to ByteToMessageDecoder again
- Correctly respect non-auto-read by SslHandler
Result:
No more stales and correctly respecting of non-auto-read by SslHandler.
Motiviation:
Our tests for non-auto-read did actually not test this correctly as auto-read was never disabled on the Bootstrap and ServerBootstrap.
Modifications:
- Correctly disable auto-read on Bootstrap and ServerBootstrap
- Fix tests to call ChannelHandlerContext.read() once a Channel becomes active.
Result:
Correctly test that non-auto-read works.
Motivation:
Unnecessary object allocation is currently done during wrap/unwrap while a handshake is still in progress.
Modifications:
Use static instances when possible.
Result:
Less object creations.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to get informations about the available OpenSSL library that is used for the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add two new methods which allows to get the available OpenSSL version as either
an int or an String.
Result:
Easy to access details about OpenSSL version.
Motivation:
Other implementations of FullHttpMessage allow .toString to be called after the Message has been released
This brings AggregatedFullHttpMessage into line with those impls.
Modifications:
- Changed AggregatedFullHttpMessage to no longer be a sub-class of DefaultByteBufHolder
- Changes AggregatedFullHttpMessage to implement ByteBufHolder
- Hold the content buffer internally to AggregatedFullHttpMessage
- Implement the required content() and release() methods that were missing
- Do not check refcnt when accessing content() (similar to DefaultFullHttpMessage)
Result:
A released AggregatedFullHttpMessage can have .toString called without throwing an exception
Motivation:
Attribute.getAndRemove() will return the value but also remove the AttributeKey itself from the AttributeMap. This may not
what you want as you may want to keep an instance of it and just set it later again. Document the contract so the user know what to expect.
Modifications:
- Make it clear when to use AttributeKey.getAndRemove() / AttributeKey.remove() and when AttributeKey.getAndSet(null) / AttributeKey.set(null).
Result:
Less suprising behaviour.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to use EC keys and not DSA or RSA. We should support it.
Modifications:
Support EC keys and share the code between JDK and Openssl impl.
Result:
It's possible to use EC keys now.
Motivation:
SslContext factory methods have gotten out of control; it's past time to
swap to a builder.
Modifications:
New Builder class. The existing factory methods must be left as-is for
backward compatibility.
Result:
Fixes#3531
Motivation:
As we missed to correctly handle EPOLLRDHUP we produce an IOException which is unnessary. This leads
to have exceptionCaught(...) methods called.
Modifications:
When EPOLLRDHUP was received just close the socket and fail all pending writes.
Result:
Correctly handle of EPOLLRDHUP and so not miss-leading exceptions.
Motivation:
When create NormalMemoryRegionCache for PoolThreadCache, we overbooked
cache array size. This means unnecessary overhead for thread local cache
as we will create multi cache enties for each element in cache array.
Modifications:
change:
int arraySize = Math.max(1, max / area.pageSize);
to:
int arraySize = Math.max(1, log2(max / area.pageSize) + 1);
Result:
Now arraySize won't introduce unnecessary overhead.
