Motivation:
Even if it was stored in the string constant pool, I thought it was safe to compare it through the Equals() method.
Modification:
So, I changed "==" comparison to equals() comparison
Result:
It has become safer to compare String values with different references and with the same values.
Motivation:
We need to carefully manage flushes to ensure we not discard these by mistake due wrongly implemented consolidation of flushes.
Modifications:
- Ensure we reset flag before we actually call flush0(...)
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10015
Motivation:
Users of the DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecodcer are notified of inbound GoAwayFrames
after the connection has already closed any ignored streams, potentially
losing the signal that some streams may have been ignored by the peer and
are thus retryable.
Modifications:
Reorder the notifications of the frame and connection listeners to
propagate the frame first, giving the frame listeners the opportunity to
clean up ignored streams in their own way.
Result:
Fixes#9986
Motivation:
ClearTextHttp2ServerUpgradeHandler is currently more complex then needed. We can simplify it by directly implement the prior-knowledge logic as part of the handler.
Modifications:
Merge inner PriorKnowledgeHandler logic into ClearTextHttp2ServerUpgradeHandler by extending ByteToMessageDecoder directly
Result:
Cleaner code and less pipeline operations
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9848 changed how we handled ChannelOptions internally to use a ConcurrentHashMap. This unfortunally had the side-effect that the ordering may be affected and not stable anymore. Here the problem is that sometimes we do validation based on two different ChannelOptions (for example we validate high and low watermarks against each other). Thus even if the user specified the options in the same order we may fail to configure them.
Modifications:
- Use again a LinkedHashMap to preserve order
Result:
Apply ChannelOptions in correct and expected order
# Motivation:
`DefaultByteBufHolder.equals()` considers another object equal if it's an instance of `ByteBufferHolder` and if the contents of two objects are equal. However, the behavior of `equals` method is not a part of the `ByteBufHolder` contract so `DefaultByteBufHolder`'s version may be causing violation of the symmetric property if other classes have different logic.
There are already a few classes that are affected by this: `DefaultHttp2GoAwayFrame`, `DefaultHttp2UnknownFrame`, and `SctpMessage` are all overriding `equals` method breaking the symmetric property.
Another effect of this behavior is that all instances with empty data are considered equal. That may not be desireable in the situations when instances are created for predefined constants, e.g. `FullBulkStringRedisMessage.NULL_INSTANCE` and `FullBulkStringRedisMessage.EMPTY_INSTANCE` in `codec-redis`.
# Modification:
Make `DefaultByteBufHolder.equals()` implementation only work for the objects of the same class.
# Result:
- The symmetric property of the `equals` method is restored for the classes in question.
- Instances of different classes are not considered equal even if the content of the data they hold are the same.
Motivation:
The current implementation delegates to writeHeaders(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, int streamId, Http2Headers headers, int streamDependency, short weight, boolean exclusive, int padding, boolean endStream, ChannelPromise promise) that will send an header frame with the priority flag set and the default priority values even if the user didnt want too.
Modifications:
- Change DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder to call the correct Http2FrameWriter method depending on if the user wants to use priorities or not
- Adjust tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9842
Motivation:
97361fa2c8 replace synchronized with ConcurrentHashMap in *Bootstrap classes but missed to do the same for the Http2 variant.
Modifications:
- Use ConcurrentHashMap
- Simplify code in *Bootstrap classes
Result:
Less contention
Motivation:
We use the onStreamClosed(...) callback to return unconsumed bytes back to the window of the connection when needed. When this happens we will write a window update frame but not automatically call ctx.flush(). As the user has no insight into this it could in the worst case result in a "deadlock" as the frame is never written out ot the socket.
Modifications:
- If onStreamClosed(...) produces a window update frame call ctx.flush()
- Add unit test
Result:
No stales possible due unflushed window update frames produced by onStreamClosed(...) when not all bytes were consumed before the stream was closed
Motivation:
We can make use of EmbeddedChannel.finishAndReleaseAll() and so remove some code
Modifications:
Use finishAndReleaseAll()
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
At the moment we send a window update frame for the connection + stream when a stream is closed and there are unconsumed bytes left. While we need to do this for the connection it makes no sense to write a window update frame for the stream itself as it is already closed
Modifications:
- Don't write the window update frame for the stream when the stream is closed
- Add unit test
Result:
Don't write the window frame for closed streams
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler tries to guard against sending multiple RST frames for the same stream. Unfortunally the code is not 100 % correct as it only updates the state after it calls write. This may lead to the situation of have an extra RST frame slip through if the second write for the RST frame is done from a listener that is attached to the promise.
Modifications:
- Update state before calling write
- Add unit test
Result:
Only ever send one RST frame per stream
Motivation:
There is an intrinsic race between a local session resetting a stream
and the peer no longer sending any frames. This can result in the
session receiving frames for a stream that the local peer no longer
tracks. This results in a StreamException being thrown which triggers a
RST_STREAM frame, which is a good thing, but also logging at level WARN,
which is noisy for an expected and benign condition.
Modification:
Change the log level to DEBUG when logging stream errors with code
STREAM_CLOSED. All others are more interesting and will continue to be
logged at level WARN.
Additionally, it was found that DATA frames for streams that could not
have existed only resulted in a StreamException when the spec is clear
that such a situation should be fatal to the connection, resulting in a
GOAWAY(PROTOCOL_ERROR).
Fixes#8025.
Motivation:
To avoid regression regarding connection-specific headers[1], we should add a test.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.2
Modification:
Add test that checks the following headers are removed.
- Connection
- Host
- Keep-Alive
- Proxy-Connection
- Transfer-Encoding
- Upgrade
Result:
There's no functional change.
Motivation:
Padding was removed from CONTINUATION frame in http2-spec, as showed in [PR](https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/pull/510). We should follow it.
Modifications:
- Remove padding when writing CONTINUATION frame in DefaultHttp2FrameWriter
- Add a unit test for writing large header with padding
Result:
More spec-compliant
Motivation:
The javadocs of Http2Headers.method(...) are incorrect, we should fix these.
Modifications:
Correct javadocs
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8068.
Motivation:
Netty HTTP/2 implementation is not 100% compliant to the spec. This
commit improves the compliance regarding headers validation,
in particular pseudo-headers and connection ones.
According to the spec:
All HTTP/2 requests MUST include exactly one valid value for the
":method", ":scheme", and ":path" pseudo-header fields, unless it is
a CONNECT request (Section 8.3). An HTTP request that omits
mandatory pseudo-header fields is malformed (Section 8.1.2.6).
Modifications:
- Introduce Http2HeadersValidator class capable of validating HTTP/2
headers
- Invoke validation from DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder#onHeadersRead
- Modify tests to use valid headers when required
- Modify HttpConversionUtil#toHttp2Headers to not add :scheme and
:path header on CONNECT method in order to conform to the spec
Result:
- Initial requests without :method, :path, :scheme will fail
- Initial requests with multiple values for :method, :path, :scheme
will fail
- Initial requests with an empty :path fail
- Requests with connection-specific header field will fail
- Requests with TE header different than "trailers" will fail
-
- Fixes 8.1.2.2 tests from h2spec #5761
- Fixes 8.1.2.3 tests from h2spec #5761
Motivation:
Constant time comparison functions are used to compare HTTP/2 header
values, even if they are not sensitive.
Modification:
After checking for sensitivity, use fast comparison.
Result: Faster HPACK table reads/writes
Motivation:
We may fail to update the flow-controller and in this case need to notify the stream channel and close it.
Modifications:
Attach a future to the write of the update frame and in case of a failure propagate it to the channel and close it
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9663
Motivation:
bbc34d0eda introduced correct handling of "in process" setup of streams but there is some room for improvements. Often the writeHeaders(...) is completed directly which means there is not need to create the extra listener object.
Modifications:
- Only create the listener if we really need too.
Result:
Less GC
Motivation:
In https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8692, `Http2FrameCodec` was
updated to keep track of all "being initialized" streams, allocating
memory before initialization begins, and releasing memory after
initialization completes successfully.
In some instances where stream initialization fails (e.g. because this
connection has received a GOAWAY frame), this memory is never released.
Modifications:
This change updates the `Http2FrameCodec` to use a separate promise
for monitoring the success of sending HTTP2 headers. When sending of
headers fails, we now make sure to release memory allocated for stream
initialization.
Result:
After this change, failures in writing HTTP2 Headers (e.g. because this
connection has received a GOAWAY frame) will no longer leak memory.
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec extends Http2FrameCodec extends Http2ConnectionHandler. It appears Http2MultiplexCodec overrode the channelWritabilityChanged method, which prevented the flow controller from becoming active. In the case the parent channel becomes unwritable, and then later becomes writable, it needs to indicate that the child channels can still write data. This is slightly confusing, because the child channels may still themselves be unwritable, but should still drain their data to the parent channel.
Modification:
Still propagate writability changes to the HTTP/2 flow controller
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9636
Motivation:
Native image compilation is failing without extra flags:
```
Warning: Aborting stand-alone image build. No instances of io.netty.buffer.UnpooledHeapByteBuf are allowed in the image heap as this class should be initialized at image runtime. Object has been initialized by the io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2ConnectionHandler class initializer with a trace:

```
Modification:
Add `io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2ConnectionHandler` for runtime compilation, as the buffer library's `io.netty.buffer.UnpooledHeapByteBuf` is also marked for runtime.
Result:
Native image compilation works again.
Motivation:
`DefaultHttp2UnknownFrame#equals` may produce NPE due to
incorrect comparison of `stream` field.
Modification:
- Fix the `stream` field compare.
- Cleanup usage of class fields: use direct access instead of getters
(because the class is final).
Result:
No NPE in `equals` method.
Motivation:
Classes `AbstractHttp2StreamChannel.Http2StreamChannelConfig`
and `DnsNameResolver.AddressedEnvelopeAdapter` may be static:
it doesn't reference its enclosing instance.
Modification:
Add `static` modifier.
Result:
Prevents a possible memory leak and uses less memory per class instance.
Motivation:
At the moment we use Unpooled.buffer(...) in InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter when we need to do a copy of the message. We should better use the configured ByteBufAllocator for the Channel
Modifications:
Change internal interface to also take the ByteBufAllocator as argument and use it when we need to allocate a ByteBuf.
Result:
Use the "correct" ByteBufAllocator in InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter in all cases
Motivation:
At the moment we set release to false before we call writeData(...). This could let to the sitatuation that we will miss to release the message if writeData(...) throws. We should set release to false after we called writeData(...) to ensure the ownership of the buffer is correctly transferred.
Modifications:
- Set release to false after writeData(...) was successfully called only
Result:
No possibility for a buffer leak
Motivation:
We did miss to take Http2FrameCodecBuilder.isValidateHeaders() into account when a Http2FrameWriter was set on the builder and always assumed validation should be enabled.
Modifications:
Remove hardcode value and use configured value
Result:
Http2FrameCodecBuilder.isValidateHeaders() is respected in all cases
Motivation:
Error: Class that is marked for delaying initialization to run time got initialized during image building: io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2CodecUtil. Try marking this class for build-time initialization with --initialize-at-build-time=io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2CodecUtil
Error: Use -H:+ReportExceptionStackTraces to print stacktrace of underlying exception
Error: Image build request failed with exit status 1
Modification:
After debugging, it seems the culprit is io.netty.handler.codec.http2.Http2ClientUpgradeCodec, which also needs runtime initialisation.
Result:
Fixes #micronaut-projects/micronaut-grpc#8
Motivation:
Right now you can cancel the Future returned by
`Http2StreamChannelBootstrap.open()` and that will race with the
registration of the stream channel with the event loop, potentially
culminating in an `IllegalStateException` and potential resource leak.
Modification:
Ensure that the returned promise is uncancellable.
Result:
Should no longer see `IllegalStateException`s.
Motivation:
In the release (4.1.37) we introduced Http2MultiplexHandler as a
replacement of Http2MultiplexCodec. This did split the frame parsing from
the multiplexing to allow a more flexible way to handle frames and to make
the code cleaner. Unfortunally we did miss to special handle this in
Http2ClientUpgradeCodec and so did not correctly add Http2MultiplexHandler
to the pipeline before calling Http2FrameCodec.onHttpClientUpgrade(...).
This did lead to the situation that we did not correctly receive the event
on the Http2MultiplexHandler and so did not correctly created the
Http2StreamChannel for the upgrade stream. Because of this we ended up
with an NPE if a frame was dispatched to the upgrade stream later on.
Modifications:
- Correctly add Http2MultiplexHandler to the pipeline before calling Http2FrameCodec.onHttpClientUpgrade(...)
Result:
Fixes#9495.
Motivation:
Some of the links in javadoc point to the obsolete drafts of HTTP/2
specifications. We should point them to the latest RFC 7540 or 7541.
Modifications:
Update links from `draft-ietf-httpbis-*` to the `rfc7540` and `rfc7541`.
Result:
Correct links in javadoc.
Motivation:
We should better update the flow-controller on Channel.read() to reduce overhead and memory overhead.
See https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9390#issuecomment-513008269
Modifications:
Move updateLocalWindowIfNeeded() to doBeginRead()
Result:
Reduce memory overhead
Motivation:
As we decorate the Http2FrameListener under the covers we should ensure the user can still access the original Http2FrameListener.
Modifications:
- Unwrap the Http2FrameListener in frameListener()
- Add unit test
Result:
Less suprises for users.
Motivation:
We recently introduced Http2ControlFrameLimitEncoderTest which did not correctly notify the goAway promises and so leaked buffers.
Modifications:
Correctly notify all promises and so release the debug data.
Result:
Fixes leak in HTTP2 test
Motivation:
It is possible for a remote peer to flood the server / client with empty DATA frames (without end_of_stream flag) set and so cause high CPU usage without the possibility to ever hit a limit. We need to guard against this.
See CVE-2019-9518
Modifications:
- Add a new config option to AbstractHttp2ConnectionBuilder and sub-classes which allows to set the max number of consecutive empty DATA frames (without end_of_stream flag). After this limit is hit we will close the connection. A limit of 10 is used by default.
- Add unit tests
Result:
Guards against CVE-2019-9518
Motivation:
Due how http2 spec is defined it is possible by a remote peer to flood us with frames that will trigger control frames as response, the problem here is that the remote peer can also just stop reading these (while still produce more of these) and so may drive us to the pointer where we either run out of memory or burn all CPU. To protect against this we need to implement some kind of limit that will tear down connections that cause the above mentioned situation.
See CVE-2019-9512 / CVE-2019-9514 / CVE-2019-9515
Modifications:
- Add Http2ControlFrameLimitEncoder which limits the number of queued control frames that were caused because of the remote peer.
- Allow to insert ths Http2ControlFrameLimitEncoder by setting AbstractHttp2ConnectionBuilder.encoderEnforceMaxQueuedControlFrames(...) to a number higher then 0. The default is 10000 which provides some protection by default but will hopefully not cause too many false-positives.
- Add unit tests
Result:
Protect against DDOS due control frames. Fixes CVE-2019-9512 / CVE-2019-9514 / CVE-2019-9515 .
Motivation:
We should delay the firing of the Http2ConnectionPrefaceAndSettingsFrameWrittenEvent by one EventLoop tick when using the Http2FrameCodec to ensure all handlers are added to the pipeline before the event is passed through it.
This is needed to workaround a race that could happen when the preface is send in handlerAdded(...) but a later handler wants to act on the event.
Modifications:
Offload firing of the event to the EventExecutor.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9432.
Motivation:
306299323c introduced some code change to move the responsibility of creating the stream for the upgrade to Http2FrameCodec. Unfortunaly this lead to the situation of having newStream().setStreamAndProperty(...) be called twice. Because of this we only ever saw the channelActive(...) on Http2StreamChannel but no other events as the mapping was replaced on the second newStream().setStreamAndProperty(...) call.
Beside this we also did not use the correct handler for the upgrade stream in some cases
Modifications:
- Just remove the Http2FrameCodec.onHttpClientUpgrade() method and so let the base class handle all of it. The stream is created correctly as part of the ConnectionListener implementation of Http2FrameCodec already.
- Consolidate logic of creating stream channels
- Adjust unit test to capture the bug
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9395
Motivation:
When using the HTTP/2 multiplex implementation we need to ensure we correctly drain the buffered inbound data even if the RecvByteBufallocator.Handle tells us to stop reading in between.
Modifications:
Correctly loop through the buffered inbound data until the user does stop to request from it.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9387.
Co-authored-by: Bryce Anderson <banderson@twitter.com>
Motivation:
We can easily reuse the Http2FrameStreamEvent instances and so reduce GC pressure as there may be multiple events per streams over the life-time.
Modifications:
Reuse instances
Result:
Less allocations
Motivation:
At the moment we lookup the ChannelHandlerContext used in Http2StreamChannelBootstrap each time the open(...) method is invoked. This is not needed and we can just cache it for later usage.
Modifications:
Cache ChannelHandlerContext in volatile field.
Result:
Speed up open(...) method implementation when called multiple times
Motivation:
If a read triggers a AbstractHttp2StreamChannel to close we can
get an NPE in the read loop.
Modifications:
Make sure that the inboundBuffer isn't null before attempting to
continue the loop.
Result:
No NPE.
Fixes#9337
Motivation:
The Http2FrameCodec should be responsible to create the upgrade stream.
Modifications:
Move code to create stream to Http2FrameCodec
Result:
More correct responsibility
Motivation:
Mark Http2StreamChannelBootstrap.open0(...) as deprecated as the user should not use it. It was marked as public by mistake.
Modifications:
Add deprecation warning.
Result:
User will be aware the method should not be used directly.
Motivation:
There are situations where the user may want to be more flexible when to send the PING acks for various reasons or be able to attach a listener to the future that is used for the ping ack. To be able to do so we should allow to manage the acks manually.
Modifications:
- Add constructor to DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder that allows to disable the automatically sending of ping acks (default is to send automatically to not break users)
- Add methods to AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder (and sub-classes) to either enable ot disable auto acks for pings
- Make DefaultHttp2PingFrame constructor public that allows to write acks.
- Add unit test
Result:
More flexible way of handling acks.
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:
Http2ConnectionHandler (and sub-classes) allow to configure a graceful shutdown timeout but only apply it if there is at least one active stream. We should always apply the timeout. This is also true when we try to send a GO_AWAY and close the connection because of an connection error.
Modifications:
- Always apply the timeout if one is configured
- Add unit test
Result:
Always respect gracefulShutdownTimeoutMillis
Motivation:
b3dba317d7 introduced the concept of Http2SettingsReceivedConsumer but did not correctly inplement DecoratingHttp2ConnectionEncoder.consumeRemoteSettings(...).
Modifications:
- Add missing `else` around the throws
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly implement DecoratingHttp2ConnectionEncoder.consumeRemoteSettings(...)
Motivation
The nice change made by @carl-mastrangelo in #9307 for lookup-table
based HPACK Huffman decoding can be simplified a little to remove the
separate flags field and eliminate some intermediate operations.
Modification
Simplify HpackHuffmanDecoder::decode logic including de-dup of the
per-nibble part.
Result
Less code, possibly better performance though not noticeable in a quick
benchmark.
Motivation:
We don't need the extra ChannelPromise when writing headers anymore in Http2FrameCodec. This also means we cal re-use a ChannelFutureListener and so not need to create new instances all the time.
Modifications:
- Just pass the original ChannelPromise when writing headers
- Reuse the ChannelFutureListener
Result:
Two less objects created when writing headers for an not-yet created stream.
Motivation:
ff0045e3e1 changed HpackHuffmanDecoder to use a lookup-table which greatly improved performance. We can squeeze out another 3% win by using an ByteProcessor which will reduce the number of bound-checks / reference-count-checks needed by processing byte-by-byte.
Modifications:
Implement logic with ByteProcessor
Result:
Another ~3% perf improvement which shows up when using h2load to simulate load.

Motivation:
In the latest release we introduced Http2MultiplexHandler as a replacement of Http2MultiplexCodec. This did split the frame parsing from the multiplexing to allow a more flexible way to handle frames and to make the code cleaner. Unfortunally we did miss to special handle this in Http2ServerUpgradeCodec and so did not correctly add Http2MultiplexHandler to the pipeline before calling Http2FrameCodec.onHttpServerUpgrade(...).

Modifications:
- Correctly add Http2MultiplexHandler to the pipeline before calling Http2FrameCodec.onHttpServerUpgrade(...)
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9314.
Motivation:
b3dba317d7 added AbstractHttp2ConnectionBuilder.autoAckSettingsFrame(...) as protected method and made it public for Http2MultiplexCodecBuilder. Unfortunally it did miss to also make it public in Http2FrameCodecBuilder
Modifications:
Correctly override autoAckSettingsFrame in Http2FrameCodecBuilder and so make it usable when building Http2FrameCodec.
Result:
Be able to also configure autoAckSettingsFrame when Http2FrameCodec is used.
Motivation:
There is some manual coping of elements of Collections which can be replaced by Collections.addAll(...) and also some unnecessary semicolons.
Modifications:
- Simplify branches
- Use Collections.addAll
- Code cleanup
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
We should not propage Http2WindowUpdateFrames to the child channels at all as these are not really use-ful and should not be flow-controlled via `read()` anyway. In the other hand Http2ResetFrame is very useful but should be propagated via an user event so the user is aware of it directly even if the user stops reading.
Modifications:
- Dont propagate Http2WindowUpdateFrames when using Http2MultiplexHandler
- Use user event for Http2ResetFrame when using Http2MultiplexHandler
- Adjust javadoc of Http2MultiplexHandler
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8889 and https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7635
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec and Http2MultiplexHandler had a very strong coupling with Http2FrameCodec which we can reduce easily. The end-goal should be to have no coupling at all.
Modifications:
- Reduce coupling by move some common logic to Http2CodecUtil
- Move logic to check if a stream may have existed before to Http2FrameCodec
- Use ArrayDeque as replacement for custom double-linked-list which makes the code a lot more readable
- Use WindowUpdateFrame to signal consume bytes (just as users do when they use Http2FrameCodec directly)
Result:
Less coupling and cleaner code.
Motivation:
In the past we had the following class hierarchy:
Http2ConnectionHandler --- Http2FrameCodec -- Http2MultiplexCodec
This hierarchy makes it impossible to plug in any code that would like to act on Http2Frame and Http2StreamFrame which can be quite useful for various situations (like metrics, logging etc). Beside this it also made the implementtion very hacky. To allow easier maintainance and also allow more flexible costumizations we should split Http2MultiplexCodec and Http2FrameCode.
Modifications:
- Introduce Http2MultiplexHandler (which is a replacement for Http2MultiplexCodec when used together with Http2FrameCodec)
- Mark Http2MultiplexCodecBuilder and Http2MultiplexCodec as deprecated. People should use Http2FrameCodecBuilder / Http2FrameCodec together with Http2MultiplexHandlder in the future
- Adjust / Add tests
- Adjust examples
Result:
More flexible usage possible and less hacky / coupled implementation for http2 multiplexing
Motivation:
For HTTP/2 messages with multiple cookies HttpConversionUtil.addHttp2ToHttpHeaders spends a good portion of time creating throwaway StringBuilders.
Modification:
Handle cookies lazily by using a ThreadLocal StringBuilder and then converting it to the H1 header at the end.
Result:
Less allocations.
Motivation:
f945a071db decoupled the writability state from the flow controller but could lead to the situation of a lot of writability updates events were propagated to the child channels. This change ensure we only take into account if the parent channel becomes writable again before we try to set the child channels to writable.
Modifications:
Only listen for channel writability changes for if the parent channel becomes writable again.
Result:
Less writability updates.
Motivation:
We should decouple the writability state of the http2 child channels from the flow-controller and just tie it to its own pending bytes counter that is decremented by the parent Channel once the bytes were written.
Modifications:
- Decouple writability state of child channels from flow-contoller
- Update tests
Result:
Less coupling and more correct behavior. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8148.
Motivation:
b4e3c12b8e introduced code to avoid coupling
close() to graceful close. It also added some code which attempted to infer when
a graceful close was being done in writing of a GOAWAY to preserve the
"connection is closed when all streams are closed behavior" for the child
channel API. However the implementation was too overzealous and may preemptively
close the connection if there are not currently any open streams (and close if
there are any frames which create streams in flight).
Modifications:
- Decouple writing a GOAWAY from trying to infer if a graceful close is being
done and closing the connection. Even if we could enhance this logic (e.g.
wait to close until the second GOAWAY with no error) it is possible the user
doesn't want the connection to be closed yet. We can add a means for the codec
to orchestrate the graceful close in the future (e.g. write some special "close
the connection when all streams are closed") but for now we can just let the
application handle this.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9207
Motivation:
The first final version of GraalVM was released which deprecated some flags. We should use the new ones.
Modifications:
Removes the use of deprecated GraalVM native-image flags
Adds a flag to initialize netty at build time.
Result:
Do not use deprecated flags
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.
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec.DefaultHttp2StreamChannel currently only act on ClosedChannelException exceptions when checking for isAutoClose(). We should widen the scope here to IOException to be more consistent with AbstractChannel.
Modifications:
Replace instanceof ClosedChannelException with instanceof IOException
Result:
More consistent handling of isAutoClose()
Motivation:
GraalVM native images are a new way to deliver java applications. Netty is one of the most popular libraries however there are a few limitations that make it impossible to use with native images out of the box. Adding a few metadata (in specific modules will allow the compilation to success and produce working binaries)
Modification:
Added properties files in `META-INF` and substitutions classes (under `internal.svm`) will solve the compilation issues. The substitutions classes are not visible and do not have a public constructor so they are not visible to end users.
Result:
Fixes#8959
This fix is very conservative as it applies the minimum config required to build:
* pure netty servers
* vert.x applications
* grpc applications
The build is having trouble due to checkstyle which does not seem to be able to find the copyright notice on property files.
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) always runs the GOAWAY and graceful close
logic. This coupling means that a user would have to override
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) to modify the behavior, and the
Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec are not extendable so you cannot
override at this layer. Ideally we can totally decouple the close(..) of the
transport and the GOAWAY graceful closure process completely, but to preserve
backwards compatibility we can add an opt-out option to decouple where the
application is responsible for sending a GOAWAY with error code equal to
NO_ERROR as described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.8 in
order to initiate graceful close.
Modifications:
- Http2ConnectionHandler supports an additional boolean constructor argument to
opt out of close(..) going through the graceful close path.
- Http2FrameCodecBuilder and Http2MultiplexCodec expose
gracefulShutdownTimeoutMillis but do not hook them up properly. Since these
are already exposed we should hook them up and make sure the timeout is applied
properly.
- Http2ConnectionHandler's goAway(..) method from Http2LifecycleManager should
initiate the graceful closure process after writing a GOAWAY frame if the error
code is NO_ERROR. This means that writing a Http2GoAwayFrame from
Http2FrameCodec will initiate graceful close.
Result:
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) can now be decoupled from the graceful close
process, and immediately close the underlying transport if desired.
Motivation:
Http2FrameCodec currently fails the write promise associated with creating a
stream with a Http2NoMoreStreamIdsException. However this means the user code
will have to listen to all write futures in order to catch this scenario which
is the same as receiving a GOAWAY frame. We can also simulate receiving a GOAWAY
frame from our remote peer and that allows users to consolidate graceful close
logic in the GOAWAY processing.
Modifications:
- Http2FrameCodec should simulate a DefaultHttp2GoAwayFrame when trying to
create a stream but the stream IDs have been exhausted.
Result:
Applications can rely upon GOAWAY for graceful close processing instead of also
processing write futures.
Motivaiton:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder uses SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator to combine two
operations into a single future status. However it directly uses the
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator object instead of using the newPromise() method
in one case. This may result in premature completion of the aggregated future.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder to use
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator#newPromise() instead of directly using the
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator instance when writing the settings ACK frame
Result:
More correct status for the SETTING ACK frame writing when auto settings ACK is
disabled.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 codec will synchronously respond to a SETTINGS frame with a SETTINGS
ACK before the application sees the SETTINGS frame. The application may need to
adjust its state depending upon what is in the SETTINGS frame before applying
the remote settings and responding with an ACK (e.g. to adjust for max
concurrent streams). In order to accomplish this the HTTP/2 codec should allow
for the application to opt-in to sending the SETTINGS ACK.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should support a mode where SETTINGS frames can
be queued instead of immediately applying and ACKing.
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder should attempt to poll from the queue (if it
exists) to apply the earliest received but not yet ACKed SETTINGS frame.
- AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder (and sub classes) should support a new
option to enable the application to opt-in to managing SETTINGS ACK.
Result:
HTTP/2 allows for asynchronous SETTINGS ACK managed by the application.
Motivation:
com.puppycrawl.tools checkstyle < 8.18 was reported to contain a possible security flaw. We should upgrade.
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-build and checkstyle.
- Fix checkstyle errors
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8968.
Motivation:
PromiseCombiner is not thread-safe and even assumes all added Futures are using the same EventExecutor. This is kind of fragile as we do not enforce this. We need to enforce this contract to ensure it's safe to use and easy to spot concurrency problems.
Modifications:
- Add new contructor to PromiseCombiner that takes an EventExecutor and deprecate the old non-arg constructor.
- Check if methods are called from within the EventExecutor thread and if not fail
- Correctly dispatch on the right EventExecutor if the Future uses a different EventExecutor to eliminate concurrency issues.
Result:
More safe use of PromiseCombiner + enforce correct usage / contract.
Motivation:
When more than one connection header is present in h2c upgrade request, upgrade fails. This is to fix that.
Modification:
In HttpServerUpgradeHandler's upgrade() method, check whether any of the connection header value is upgrade, not just the first header value which might return a different value other than upgrade.
Result:
Fixes#8846.
With this PR, now when multiple connection headers are sent with the upgrade request, upgrade will not fail.
Motivation:
We can replace some "hand-rolled" integer checks with our own static utility method to simplify the code.
Modifications:
Use methods provided by `ObjectUtil`.
Result:
Cleaner code and less duplication
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:
When a write error happens during writing of flowcontrolled data frames we miss to correctly detect this in the write loop which may result in an infinite loop as we will never detect that the frame should be removed from the queue.
Modifications:
- When we fail a flowcontrolled data frame we ensure that the next frame.write(...) call will signal back that the whole frame was handled and so can be removed.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8707.
Motivation:
In Http2FrameCodec we made the incorrect assumption that we can only have 1 buffered outboundstream as maximum. This is not correct and we need to account for multiple buffered streams.
Modifications:
- Use a map to allow buffer multiple streams
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8692.
Motiviation:
Http2FrameCodecTest and Http2MultiplexCodecTest were quite fragile and often not went through the whole pipeline which made testing sometimes hard and error-prone.
Modification:
- Refactor tests to have data flow through the whole pipeline and so made the test more robust (by testing the while implementation).
Result:
Easier to write tests for the codecs in the future and more robust testing in general.
Beside this it also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6036.
Motivation:
We should always call ctx.read() even when AUTO_READ is false as flow-control is enforced by the HTTP/2 protocol.
See also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-5.2.2.
We already did this before but not explicit and only did so because of some implementation details of ByteToMessageDecoder. It's better to be explicit here to not risk of breakage later on.
Modifications:
- Ensure we always call ctx.read() when AUTO_READ is false
- Add unit test.
Result:
No risk of staling the connection when HTTP/2 is used.
Motivation:
In windows if the project is in a path that contains whitespace,
resources cannot be accessed and tests fail.
Modifications:
Adds ResourcesUtil.java in netty-common. Tests use ResourcesUtil.java to access a resource.
Result:
Being able to build netty in a path containing whitespace
Motivation:
9f9aa1a did some changes related to fixing how we handle ctx.read() in child channel but did incorrectly change some assert.
Modifications:
Fix assert to be correct.
Result:
Code does not throw an AssertionError due incorrect assert check.
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:
We did not correct respect ctx.read() calls while processing a read for a child Channel. This could lead to read stales when auto read is disabled and no other read was requested.
Modifications:
- Keep track of extra read() calls while processing reads
- Add unit tests that verify that read() is respected when triggered either in channelRead(...) or channelReadComplete(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8209.
Motivation
DefaultHttp2FrameReader currently does a fair amount of "intermediate"
slicing which can be avoided.
Modifications
Avoid slicing the input buffer in DefaultHttp2FrameReader until
necessary. In one instance this also means retainedSlice can be used
instead (which may also avoid allocating).
Results
Less allocations when using http2.
Motivation:
When the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder writes the initial headers for a new
locally created stream we create the stream in the half-closed state if the
end-stream flag is set which signals to the life cycle manager that the headers
have been sent. However, if we synchronously fail to write the headers the
life cycle manager then sends a RST_STREAM on our behalf which is a connection
level PROTOCOL_ERROR because the peer sees the stream in an IDLE state.
Modification:
Don't open the stream in the half-closed state if the end-stream flag is
set and let the life cycle manager take care of it.
Result:
Cleaner state management in the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.
Fixes#8434.
Motivation:
The `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec` is marked `@Sharable` but mutates
an internal `HttpScheme` field every time it is added to a pipeline.
Modifications:
Instead of storing the `HttpScheme` in the handler we store it as an
attribute on the parent channel.
Result:
Fixes#8480.
Motivation:
There are log messages emitted from Http2ConnectionDecoder of the form
```
INF i.n.h.c.h.DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder ignoring HEADERS frame for stream RST_STREAM sent. {}
```
Modifications:
Remove the trailing `{}` in the log message that doesn't have a value.
Result:
Log messages no longer have a trailing `{}`.
Motivation:
When writing an HTTP/2 HEADERS with END_STREAM=1, the application expects
the stream to be closed afterward. However, the write can fail locally
due to HPACK encoder and similar. When that happens we need to make sure
to issue a RST_STREAM otherwise the stream can be closed locally but
orphaned remotely. The RST_STREAM is typically handled by
Http2ConnectionHandler.onStreamError, which will only send a RST_STREAM
if that stream still exists locally.
There are two possible flows for trailers, one handled immediately and
one going through the flow controller. Previously they behaved
differently, with the immedate code calling the error handler after
closing the stream. The immediate code also used a listener for calling
closeStreamLocal while the flow controlled code did so immediately after
the write.
The two code paths also differed in their VoidChannelPromise handling,
but both were broken. The immediate code path called unvoid() only if
END_STREAM=1, however it could always potentially add a listener via
notifyLifecycleManagerOnError(). And the flow controlled code path
unvoided incorrectly, changing the promise completion behavior. It also
passed the wrong promise to closeStreamLocal() in FlowControlledBase.
Modifications:
Move closeStreamLocal handling after calls to onError. This is the
primary change.
Now call closeStreamLocal immediately instead of when the future
completes. This is the more likely correct behavior as it matches that
of DATA frames.
Fix all the VoidChannelPromise handling.
Result:
Http2ConnectionHandler.onStreamError sees the same state as the remote
and issues a RST_STREAM, properly cleaning up the stream.
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec queues data internally if data is delivered from the
parent channel but the child channel did not request data. If the parent
channel notifies of a stream closure it is possible data in the queue
will be discarded before closing the channel.
Http2MultiplexCodec interacts with RecvByteBufAllocator to control the
child channel's demand for read. However it currently only ever reads a
maximum of one time per loop. This can thrash the read loop and bloat
the call stack if auto read is on, because channelReadComplete will
re-enter the read loop synchronously, and also neglect to deliver data
during the parent's read loop (if it is active). This also meant the
readPendingQueue was not utilized as originally intended (to extend the
child channel's read loop during the parent channel's read loop if
demand for data still existed).
Modifications:
- Modify the child channel's read loop to respect the
RecvByteBufAllocator, and append to the parents readPendingQueue if
appropriate.
- Stream closure notification behaves like EPOLL and KQUEUE transports
and reads all queued data, because the data is already queued in memory
and it is known there will be no more data. This will also replenish the
connection flow control window which may otherwise be constrained by a
closed stream.
Result:
More correct read loop and less risk of dropping data.
Motivation:
When a Http2MultiplexCodec stream channel fails to write the first
HEADERS it will forcibly close, and that will trigger sending a
RST_STREAM, which is commonly a connection level protocol error. This is
because it has what looks like a valid stream id, but didn't check with
the connection as to whether the stream may have actually existed.
Modifications:
Instead of checking if the stream was just a valid looking id ( > 0) we
check with the connection as to whether it may have existed at all.
Result:
We no longer send a RST_STREAM frame from Http2MultiplexCodec for idle
streams.
Motivation:
The Http2Connection state is updated by the DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder after the frame listener is notified of the goaway frame. If the listener sends a frame synchronously this means the connection state will not know about the goaway it just received and we may send frames that are not allowed on the connection. This may also mean a stream object is created but it may never get taken out of the stream map unless some other event occurs (e.g. timeout).
Modifications:
- The Http2Connection state should be updated before the listener is notified of the goaway
- The Http2Connection state modification and validation should be self contained when processing a goaway instead of partially in the decoder.
Result:
No more creating streams and sending frames after a goaway has been sent or received.
Motivation:
If the local endpoint receives a GO_AWAY frame and then tries to write a stream with a streamId higher than the last know stream ID we will throw a connection error. This results in the local peer sending a GO_AWAY frame to the remote peer, but this is not necessary as the error can be isolated to the local endpoint and communicated via the ChannelFuture return value.
Modifications:
- Instead of throwing a connection error, throw a stream error that simulates the peer receiving the stream and replying with a RST
Result:
Connections are not closed abruptly when trying to create a stream on the local endpoint after a GO_AWAY frame is received.
Motivation:
If a write fails for a Http2MultiplexChannel stream channel, the channel
may be forcibly closed, but only after the promise has been failed. That
means continuations attached to the promise may see the channel in an
inconsistent state of still being open and active.
Modifications:
Move the satisfaction of the promise to after the channel cleanup logic
runs.
Result:
Listeners attached to the future that resulted in a Failed write will
see the stream channel in the correct state.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 spec dictates that invalid pseudo-headers should cause the
request/response to be treated as malformed (8.1.2.1), and the recourse
for that is to treat the situation as a stream error of type
PROTOCOL_ERROR (8.1.2.6). However, we're treating them as a connection
error with the connection being immediately torn down and the HPACK
state potentially being corrupted.
Modifications:
The HpackDecoder now throws a StreamException for validation failures
and throwing is deffered until the end of of the decode phase to ensure
that the HPACK state isn't corrupted by returning early.
Result:
Behavior more closely aligned with the HTTP/2 spec.
Fixes#8043.
Motivation:
We deviate from the AbstractChannel implementation on deregistration by
failing the provided promise if the channel is already deregistered. In
contrast, AbstractChannel will always set the promise to successfully
done.
Modification:
Change the
Http2MultiplexCodec.DefaultHttp2StreamChannel.Http2ChannelUnsafe to
always set the promise provided to deregister as done as is the
case in AbstractChannel.
Motivation:
There is an inconsistency between the order of events in the
StreamChannel implementation in Http2MultiplexCodec and other Channel
implementations that extend AbstractChannel where channelInactive and
channelUnregistered events are not performed 'later'. This can cause an
unexected order of events for ChannelHandler implementations that call
Channel.close() in response to some event.
Modification:
The Http2MultiplexCodec.DefaultHttp2StreamChannel.Http2ChannelUnsafe was
modified to bounce the deregistration and channelInactive events through
the parent channels EventLoop.
Result:
Stream events are now in the proper order.
Fixes#8018.
