Motivation:
We should correctly reset the cached local and remote address when a Channel.disconnect() is called and the channel has a notion of disconnect vs close (for example DatagramChannel implementations).
Modifications:
- Correctly reset cached kicak abd remote address
- Update testcase to cover it and so ensure all transports work in a consistent way
Result:
Correctly handle disconnect()
Motivation:
291f80733a introduced a change to use a byte[] to construct the InetAddress when receiving datagram messages to reduce the overhead. Unfortunally it introduced a regression when handling IPv6-mapped-IPv4 addresses and so produced an IndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to fill the byte[] in native code.
Modifications:
- Correctly use the offset on the pointer of the address.
- Add testcase
- Make tests more robust and include more details when the test fails
Result:
No more IndexOutOfBoundsException
Motivation:
When using datagram sockets which need to handle a lot of packets it makes sense to use recvmmsg to be able to read multiple datagram packets with one syscall.
Modifications:
- Add support for recvmmsg on linux
- Add new EpollChannelOption.MAX_DATAGRAM_PACKET_SIZE
- Add tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8446.
Motivation:
We should not only include the java source files but also the c source file in our source jars.
Modifications:
Add files from src/main/c as well
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9494
Motivation:
On openSUSE (probably more), 64 bit builds use lib64, e.g. /usr/lib64, and
configure picks this up and builds the native library in
native-build/target/lib64 where maven is not looking.
Modifications:
Explicitly specify --libdir=${project.build.directory}/native-build/target/lib
during configuration.
Result:
Maven uses the correct lib directory.
Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
Some methods that either override others or are implemented as part of implementation an interface did miss the `@Override` annotation
Modifications:
Add missing `@Override`s
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
c9aaa93d83 added the ability to specify an EventLoopTaskQueueFactory but did place it under MultithreadEventLoopGroup while not really belongs there.
Modifications:
Make EventLoopTaskQueueFactory a top-level interface
Result:
More logical code layout.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is desirable to be able to use a different Queue implementation for the EventLoop of a Channel. This is currently not possible without resort to reflection.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor to Nio|Epoll|KQueueEventLoopGroup which allows to specify a factory which is used to create the task queue. This was the user can override the default implementation.
- Add test
Result:
Be able to change Queue that is used for the EventLoop.
Motivation:
This resolves a TODO from the initial transport-native-kqueue implementation, supplying the user with the pid of the local peer client/server process.
Modification:
Inside netty_kqueue_bsdsocket_getPeerCredentials, Call getsockopt with LOCAL_PEERPID and pass it to PeerCredentials constructor.
Add a test case in KQueueSocketTest.
Result:
PeerCredentials now have pid field set. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9213
Motivation:
The current KQueueEventLoop implementation does not process concurrent domain socket channel registration/unregistration in the order they actual
happen since unregistration are delated by an event loop task scheduling. When a domain socket is closed, it's file descriptor might be reused
quickly and therefore trigger a new channel registration using the same descriptor.
Consequently the KQueueEventLoop#add(AbstractKQueueChannel) method will overwrite the current inactive channels having the same descriptor
and the delayed KQueueEventLoop#remove(AbstractKQueueChannel) will remove the active channel that replaced the inactive one.
As active channels are registered, events for this file descriptor won't be processed anymore and the channels will never be closed.
The same problem can also happen in EpollEventLoop. Beside this we also may never remove the AbstractEpollChannel from the internal map
when it is unregistered which will prevent it from be GC'ed
Modifications:
- Change logic of native KQueue and Epoll implementations to ensure we correctly handle the case of FD reuse
- Only try to update kevent / epoll if the Channel is still open (as otherwise it will be handled by kqueue / epoll itself)
- Correctly remove AbstractEpollChannel from internal map in all cases
- Make implementation of closeAll() consistent for Epoll and KQueueEventLoop
Result:
KQueue and Epoll native transports correctly handle FD reuse

Motivation:
OOME is occurred by increasing suppressedExceptions because other libraries call Throwable#addSuppressed. As we have no control over what other libraries do we need to ensure this can not lead to OOME.
Modifications:
Only use static instances of the Exceptions if we can either dissable addSuppressed or we run on java6.
Result:
Not possible to OOME because of addSuppressed. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9151.

Modifications:
Change the logic of KQueueEventLoop#remove(AbstractKQueueChannel) channels so it will check channels equality prior removal.
Result:
KQueueEventLoop won't remove anymore active channels reusing a file descriptor.
Motivation
These implementations delegate most of their methods to an existing Handle and previously extended RecvByteBufAllocator.DelegatingHandle. This was reverted in #6322 with the introduction of ExtendedHandle but it's not clear to me why it needed to be - the code looks a lot cleaner.
Modifications
Have (Epoll|KQueue)RecvByteAllocatorHandle extend DelegatingHandle again, while still implementing ExtendedHandle.
Result
Less code.
Motivation:
We currently only cover ipv4 multicast in the testsuite but we should also have tests for ipv6.
Modifications:
- Add test for ipv6
- Ensure we only try to run multicast test for ipv4 / ipv6 if the loopback interface supports it.
Result:
Better test coverage
Motivation:
When kevent(...) returns with EINTR we do not correctly decrement the timespec
structure contents to account for the time duration. This may lead to negative
values for tv_nsec which will result in an EINVAL and raise an IOException to
the event loop selection loop.
Modifications:
Correctly calculate new timeoutTs when EINTR is detected
Result:
Fixes#9013.
Motivation:
Systems depending on Netty may benefit (telemetry, alternative even loop scheduling algorithms) from knowing the number of channels assigned to each EventLoop.
Modification:
Expose the number of channels registered in the EventLoop via SingleThreadEventLoop.registeredChannels.
Result:
Fixes#8276.
Motivation:
Since DomainSocketChannel is a DuplexChannel, which be able to shutdown input or output individually on demands, but ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE channel option has not been supported yet.
I thought this could be a missing feature of Unix domain socket, so here the PR for it.
Modifications:
1. Added allHalfClosure property both in EpollDomainSocketChannelConfig and KQueueDomainSocketChannelConfig,
2. Enabled isAllowHalfClosure method of native channel to support domain channel config,
3. Created EpollDomainSocketShutdownOutputByPeerTest and KQueueDomainSocketShutdownOutputByPeerTest to verify the change.
Result:
ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE channel option can be set with DomainSocketChannel, and no more warning of Unknown channel option 'ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE'.
Motivation:
At some point we needed --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED to run our native tests but this is not true anymore.
Modifications:
Remove --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED when running native tests.
Result:
Remove obsolate jvm arg.
Motivation:
`DefaultFileRegion.transferTo` will return 0 all the time when we request more data then the actual file size. This may result in a busy spin while processing the fileregion during writes.
Modifications:
- If we wrote 0 bytes check if the underlying file size is smaller then the requested count and if so throw an IOException
- Add DefaultFileRegionTest
- Add a test to the testsuite
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8868.
Motivation:
In https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8665 we changed how we handle the registration of Channels to KQueue but missed to removed some code which would deregister the Channel before it actual closed the underlying socket. This could lead to have events triggered still while not have a mapping to the Channel anymore.
Modifications:
Remove deregister call during socket closure.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8849.
Motivation:
The SSLEngine does provide a way to signal to the caller that it may need to execute a blocking / long-running task which then can be offloaded to an Executor to ensure the I/O thread is not blocked. Currently how we handle this in SslHandler is not really optimal as while we offload to the Executor we still block the I/O Thread.
Modifications:
- Correctly support offloading the task to the Executor while suspending processing of SSL in the I/O Thread
- Add new methods to SslContext to specify the Executor when creating a SslHandler
- Remove @deprecated annotations from SslHandler constructor that takes an Executor
- Adjust tests to also run with the Executor to ensure all works as expected.
Result:
Be able to offload long running tasks to an Executor when using SslHandler. Partly fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7862 and https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7020.
Motivation:
We missed to extend a few tests from the testsuite and so also run these with our native KQueue and Epoll transport.
Modifications:
Extend tests and so run these for our native transports as well.
Result:
More tests.
Motivation:
In the native code EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel creates a DatagramSocketAddress object for each received UDP datagram even when in connected mode as it uses the recvfrom(...) / recvmsg(...) method. Creating these is quite heavy in terms of allocations as internally, char[], String, Inet4Address, InetAddressHolder, InetSocketAddressHolder, InetAddress[], byte[] objects are getting generated when constructing the object. When in connected mode we can just use regular read(...) calls which do not need to allocate all of these.
Modifications:
- When in connected mode use read(...) and NOT recvfrom(..) / readmsg(...) to reduce allocations when possible.
- Adjust tests to ensure read works as expected when in connected mode.
Result:
Less allocations and GC when using native datagram channels in connected mode. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8770.
Motivation:
We have a utility method to check for > 0 and >0 arguments. We should use it.
Modification:
use checkPositive/checkPositiveOrZero instead of if statement.
Result:
Re-use utility method.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
Motivation:
How we did the mapping from native code to AbstractKQueueChannel was not safe and could lead to heap corruption. This then sometimes produced ClassCastExceptions or could also lead to crashes. This happened sometimes when running the testsuite.
Modifications:
Use a Map for the mapping (just as we do in the native epoll transport).
Result:
No more heap corruption / crashes.
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
Motivation:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 needs to be used as everything before is not supported in 10.14 anymore. 10.6 was released 2009 so this should be a safe thing to do.
Modifications:
Use MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
Result:
Be able to compile on MacOS 10.14
Motivation:
Add an option (through a SelectStrategy return code) to have the Netty event loop thread to do busy-wait on the epoll.
The reason for this change is to avoid the context switch cost that comes when the event loop thread is blocked on the epoll_wait() call.
On average, the context switch has a penalty of ~13usec.
This benefits both:
The latency when reading from a socket
Scheduling tasks to be executed on the event loop thread.
The tradeoff, when enabling this feature, is that the event loop thread will be using 100% cpu, even when inactive.
Modification:
Added SelectStrategy option to return BUSY_WAIT
Epoll loop will do a epoll_wait() with no timeout
Use pause instruction to hint to processor that we're in a busy loop
Result:
When enabled, minimizes impact of context switch in the critical path
Motivation
The EpollChannelConfig (same for KQueues) and its subclasses repeatetly declare their own channel field which leads to a 3x repetition for each config instance. Given the fields are protected or package-private it's exposing the code code to "field hiding" bugs.
Modifications
Use the the existing protected channel field from the DefaultChannelConfig class and simply cast it when needed.
Result
Fixes#8331
Motivation:
We should ensure we call *UnLoad when we detect an error during calling *OnLoad and previous *OnLoad calls were succesfull.
Modifications:
Correctly call *UnLoad when needed.
Result:
More correct code and no leaks when an error happens during loading the native lib.
* 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:
Epoll and Kqueue channels have internal state which forces
a single read operation after channel construction. This
violates the Channel#read() interface which indicates that
data shouldn't be delivered until this method is called.
The behavior is also inconsistent with the NIO transport.
Modifications:
- Epoll and Kqueue shouldn't unconditionally read upon
initialization, and instead should rely upon Channel#read()
or auto_read.
Result:
Epoll and Kqueue are more consistent with NIO.
Motivation:
We should allow to schedule tasks with a delay up to Long.MAX_VALUE as we did pre 4.1.25.Final.
Modifications:
Just ensure we not overflow and put the correct max limits in place when schedule a timer. At worse we will get a wakeup to early and then schedule a new timeout.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7970.
* Read until all data is consumed when EOF is detected even if readPending is false and auto-read is disabled.
Motivation:
We should better always notify the user of EOF even if the user did not request any data as otherwise we may never be notified when the remote peer closes the connection. This should be ok as the amount of extra data we may read and so fire through the pipeline is limited by SO_RECVBUF.
Modifications:
- Always drain the socket when EOF is detected.
- Add testcase
Result:
No risk for the user to be not notified of EOF.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to disable native transports / native ssl to debug a problem. We should allow to do so with a system property so people not need to adjust code for this.
Modifications:
Add system properties which allow to disable native transport and native ssl.
Result:
Easier to disable native code usage without code changes.
Motivation:
Using a very huge delay when calling schedule(...) may cause an Selector error when calling select(...) later on. We should gaurd against such a big value.
Modifications:
- Add guard against a very huge value.
- Added tests.
Result:
Fixes [#7365]
Motivation:
AbstractNioByteChannel will detect that the remote end of the socket has
been closed and propagate a user event through the pipeline. However if
the user has auto read on, or calls read again, we may propagate the
same user events again. If the underlying transport continuously
notifies us that there is read activity this will happen in a spin loop
which consumes unnecessary CPU.
Modifications:
- AbstractNioByteChannel's unsafe read() should check if the input side
of the socket has been shutdown before processing the event. This is
consistent with EPOLL and KQUEUE transports.
- add unit test with @normanmaurer's help, and make transports consistent with respect to user events
Result:
No more read spin loop in NIO when the channel is half closed.
Motivation:
The flush task is currently using flush() which will have the affect of have the flush traverse the whole ChannelPipeline and also flush messages that were written since we gave up flushing. This is not really correct as we should only continue to flush messages that were flushed at the point in time when the flush task was submitted for execution if the user not explicit call flush() by him/herself.
Modification:
Call *Unsafe.flush0() via the flush task which will only continue flushing messages that were marked as flushed before.
Result:
More correct behaviour when the flush task is used.
Motivation:
KQueue implementations current have inconsistent behavior with Epoll implementations with respect to asynchronous sockets and connecting. In the Epoll transport we attempt to connect, if the connect call does not synchornously fail/succeed we set the EPOLLOUT which will be triggered by the kernel if the connection attempt succeeds or an error occurs. The connect API provides no way to asynchronously communicate an error so the Epoll implementation fires a EPOLLOUT event and puts the connect status in getsockopt(SO_ERROR). KQueue provides the same APIs but different behavior. If the EVFILT_WRITE is not enabled and the EVFILT_READ is enabled before connect is called, and there is an error the kernel may fire the EVFILT_READ filter and provide the Connection Refused error via read(). This is even true if we set the EVFILT_WRITE filter after calling connect because connect didn't synchornously complete. After the error has been delievered via read() a call to getsockopt(SO_ERROR) will return 0 indicating there is no error. This means we cannot rely upon the KQueue based kernel to deliver connection errors via the EVFILT_WRITE filter in the same way that the linux kernel does with the EPOLLOUT flag.
ce241bd introduced a change which depends upon the behavior of the EVFILT_WRITE being set and may prematurely stop writing to the OS as a result, becaues we assume the OS will notify us when the socket is writable. However the current work around for the above described behavior is to initialize the EVFILT_WRITE to true for connection oriented protocols. This leads to prematurely exiting from the flush() which may lead to deadlock.
Modifications:
- KQueue should check when an error is obtained from read() if the connectPromise has not yet been completed, and if not complete it with a ConnectException
Result:
No more deadlock in KQueue due to asynchronous connect workaround.
Motivation:
b215794de3 recently introduced a change in behavior where writeSpinCount provided a limit for how many write operations were attempted per flush operation. However when the write quantum was meet the selector write flag was not cleared, and the channel unsafe flush0 method has an optimization which prematurely exits if the write flag is set. This may lead to no write progress being made under the following scenario:
- flush is called, but the socket can't accept all data, we set the write flag
- the selector wakes us up because the socket is writable, we write data and use the writeSpinCount quantum
- we then schedule a flush() on the EventLoop to execute later, however it the flush0 optimization prematurely exits because the write flag is still set
In this scenario the socket is still writable so the EventLoop may never notify us that the socket is writable, and therefore we may never attempt to flush data to the OS.
Modifications:
- When the writeSpinCount quantum is exceeded we should clear the selector write flag
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7729
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].
