ab74dccd23 Http/2 Priority on CLOSED stream
Motivation:
The encoder/decoder currently do not handle streams which have previously existed but no longer exist because they were closed. The specification requires supporting this.

Modifications:
- encoder/decoder should tolerate the frame or the dependent frame not existing in the streams map due to the fact that it may have previously existed.

Result:
encoder/decoder are more compliant with the specification.

0d3a6e0511 HTTP/2 Decoder reduce preface conditional checks
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder class is calling verifyPrefaceReceived() for almost every frame event at all times.
The Http2ConnectionHandler class is calling readClientPrefaceString() on every decode event.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should not have to continuously call verifyPrefaceReceived() because it transitions boolean state 1 time for each connection.
- Http2ConnectionHandler should not have to continuously call readClientPrefaceString() because it transitions boolean state 1 time for each connection.

Result:
- Less conditional checks for the mainstream usage of the connection.

bb059c070f Decoupling allocation from writing in HTTP/2 outbound flow control
Motivation:

The current DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController's writePendingBytes currently operates in 2 passes. The first allocates bytes and optionally writes some frames. The second pass just loops across all active streams and writes all remaining bytes.

If streams can be removed/added as a side effect of writing (EOS or error) then we need to take more care when the write actually occurs. Moving all of the writes to the second loop (across active streams) is simpler since we can just make a copy of the list and not worry about any restructuring of the priority tree that may result.

Modifications:

Modified DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.writePendingBytes to only allocate bytes on the first pass and then write any allocated bytes on the second pass.

Result:

Side effects resulting from writing should no longer impact the flow control algorithm.

2dda917f27 Http2DefaultFrameWriter microbenchmark
Motivation:
A microbenchmark will be useful to get a baseline for performance.

Modifications:
- Introduce a new microbenchmark which tests the Http2DefaultFrameWriter.
- Allow benchmarks to run without thread context switching between JMH and Netty.

Result:
Microbenchmark exists to test performance.

d857b16d76 Http/2 RST_STREAM frame robustness
Motivation:
The Http2ConnectionHandler writeRstStream method allows RST_STREAM frames to be sent when we do not know about the stream and after a RST_STREAM frame has already been sent.  This may lead to sending frames when we should not according to the HTTP/2 spec. There is also the potential to notify the closeListener multiple times if the closeStream method is called multiple times.

Modifications:
- Prevent RST_STREAM from being sent if we don't know about the stream, or if we already sent the RST_STREAM.
- Prevent the closeListener from being notified multiple times.

Result:
More robust writeRstStream logic in boundary conditions.

6dfa1f2d92 Http2 draft 17
Motivation:
There was a new draft for HTTP/2.  We should support the new draft.

Modifications:
- Review the HTTP/2 draft 17 specification, and update code to reflect changes.

Result:
Support for HTTP/2 draft 17.

8e04d706de Have FlowState.cancel take a Throwable and code cleanup.
Motivation:

- In FlowState.write(...) we are currently swalloing an exception.
- In my previous commit I introduced a compiler warning by not making
  a local variabe final.

Modifications:

- Have FlowState.cancel() take a Throwable.
- Make the variable final.

Result:

No more swallowed exceptions and warnings.

9bad408de5 HTTP2: Close encoder and decoder on channelInactive and initialize clientPrefaceString on handlerAdded.
Motivation:

- The encoder and decoder should be closed right after the handler releases its resources.
- The clientPrefaceString is allocated in the constructor but releases in handlerRemoved.
  If the handler is never added to the pipeline, the clientPrefaceString will never be
  released.

Modifications:

- Call encoder.close() and decoder.close() on channelInactive.
- Release the clientPrefaceString on handlerRemoved.

Result:

- The encoder and decoder get closed right after the handler's resources are freed.
- It's easier to verify that the clientPrefaceString will also get released.

0fe67cfba5 Using public LogLevel for HTTP/2 frame logging.
Motivation:

The Http2FrameLogger is currently using the internal logging classes. We should change this so that it's using the public classes and then converts internally.

Modifications:

Modified Http2FrameLogger and the examples to use the public LogLevel class.

Result:

Fixes #2512

c91eaace5e Cleaning up HTTP/2 method names for max_concurrent_streams
Motivation:

The current documentation for Endpoint methods referring to concurrent streams and the SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS setting are a bit confusing.

Modifications:

Renamed a few of the methods and added more clear documentation.

Result:

Fixes #3451

fe12d08efe Remove dead code from DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.
Motivation:

There are two writeRstStream methods in the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.
One of the two is neither used nor part of the Http2FrameWriter interface.

Modifications:

Delete the method.

Result:

Fewer lines of dead code.

d5963e069d Remove Frame class from DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController. Fixes #3488
Motivation:

For every write of a flow controlled frame (HEADERS, DATA) we are allocating
a Frame object that is not necessary anymore as it does not maintain any
state, besides the payload.

Modifications:

Remove the Frame class and directly add the payload to the pending write queue.

Result:

One few object allocation per write of a flow controlled frame.

44615f6cb2 Optimizations for Http2FrameLogger
Motivation:

The logger was always performing a hex dump of the ByteBufs regarless whether or not the log would take place.

Modifications:

Fixed the logger to avoid serializing the ByteBufs and calling the varargs method if logging is not enabled.

Result:

The loggers should run MUCH faster when disabled.

88beae6838 Fix premature cancelation of pending frames in HTTP2 Flow Control.
Motivation:

If HEADERS or DATA frames are pending due to a too small flow control
window, a frame with the END_STREAM flag set will wrongfully cancel
all pending frames (including itself).

Also see grpc/grpc-java#145

Modifications:

The transition of the stream state to CLOSE / HALF_CLOSE due to a
set END_STREAM flag is delayed until the frame with the flag is
actually written to the Channel.

Result:

Flow control works correctly. Frames with END_STREAM flag will no
longer cancel their preceding frames.

8b5f2d7716 Http2DefaultFrameWriter direct write instead of copy
Motivation:
The Http2DefaultFrameWriter copies all contents into a buffer (or uses a CompositeBuffer in 1 case) and then writes that buffer to the socket. There is an opportunity to avoid the copy operations and write directly to the socket.

Modifications:
- Http2DefaultFrameWriter should avoid copy operations where possible.
- The Http2FrameWriter interface should be clarified to indicate that ByteBuf objects will be released.

Result:
Hopefully less allocation/copy leads to memory and throughput performance benefit.

bc76bfa199 Consolidating HTTP/2 stream state
Motivation:

Http2Stream has several methods that provide state information. We need
to simplify how state is used and consolidate as many of these fields as
possible.

Modifications:

Since we already have a concept of a stream being active or inactive,
I'm now separating the deactivation of a stream from the act of closing
it.  The reason for this is the case of sending a frame with
endOfStream=true. In this case we want to close the stream immediately
in order to disallow further writing, but we don't want to mark the
stream as inactive until the write has completed since the inactive
event triggers the flow controller to cancel any pending writes on the
stream.

With deactivation separated out, we are able to eliminate most of the
additional state methods with the exception of `isResetSent`.  This is
still required because we need to ignore inbound frames in this case (as
per the spec), since the remote endpoint may not yet know that the
stream has been closed.

Result:

Fixes #3382

8bbfcb05a0 Make flow-controller a write-queue for HEADERS and DATA
Motivation:

Previously flow-controller had to know the implementation details of each frame type in order to write it correctly. That concern is more correctly handled by the encoder. By encapsulating the payload types to be flow-controlled it will be easier to add support for extension types later. This change also fixes #3353.

Modifications:

Add interface FlowControlled which is now delivered to flow-controller.
Implement this interface for HEADERS and DATA
Refactor and improve tests for flow-control.

Result:

Flow control semantics are more cleanly separated for data encoding and implementation is simpler overall.

c6bfc92df1 Zero length data frames should apply flow control.
Motivation:
A downstream consumer of Netty failed as emitting zero-length http2 data frames in a unit test resulted in assertion errors in Http2LocalFlowController. Since zero-length frames are valid, an assertion that http2 data frame length must be positive is invalid.

Modifications:

Assertions of data length in Http2LocalFlowController now permit zero.

Result:

Those running netty with assertions on can now emit zero length http2 data frames.

2d24e1f27d Back port HTTP/2 codec from master to 4.1
Motivation:

HTTP/2 codec was implemented in master branch.
Since, master is not yet stable and will be some time before it gets released, backporting it to 4.1, enables people to use the codec with a stable netty version.

Modification:

The code has been copied from master branch as is, with minor modifications to suit the `ChannelHandler` API in 4.x.
Apart from that change, there are two backward incompatible API changes included, namely,

- Added an abstract method:

  `public abstract Map.Entry<CharSequence, CharSequence> forEachEntry(EntryVisitor<CharSequence> visitor)
            throws Exception;`

to `HttpHeaders` and implemented the same in `DefaultHttpHeaders` as a delegate to the internal `TextHeader` instance.

- Added a method:

`FullHttpMessage copy(ByteBuf newContent);`

in `FullHttpMessage` with the implementations copied from relevant places in the master branch.

- Added missing abstract method related to setting/adding short values to `HttpHeaders`

Result:

HTTP/2 codec can be used with netty 4.1
