Motivation:
Alignment handling was broken, and basically turned into a fixed offset into each allocation address regardless of its initial value, instead of ensuring that the allocated address is either aligned or bumped to the nearest alignment offset.
The brokenness of the alignment handling extended so far, that overlapping ByteBuf instances could even be created, as was seen in #11101.
Modification:
Instead of fixing the per-allocation pointer bump, we now ensure that 1) the minimum page size is a whole multiple of the alignment, and 2) the reference memory for each chunk is bumped to the nearest aligned address, and finally 3) ensured that the reservations are whole multiples of the alignment, thus ensuring that the next allocation automatically occurs from an aligned address.
Incidentally, (3) above comes for free because the reservations are in whole pages, and in (1) we ensured that pages are sized in whole multiples of the alignment.
In order to ensure that the memory for a chunk is aligned, we introduce some new PlatformDependent infrastructure.
The PlatformDependent.alignDirectBuffer will produce a slice of the given buffer, and the slice will have an address that is aligned.
This method is plainly available on ByteBuffer in Java 9 onwards, but for pre-9 we have to use Unsafe, which means it can fail and might not be available on all platforms.
Attempts to create a PooledByteBufAllocator that uses alignment, when this is not supported, will throw an exception.
Luckily, I think use of aligned allocations are rare.
Result:
Aligned pooled byte bufs now work correctly, and never have any overlap.
Fixes#11101
Motivation:
Due a regression in fd8c1874b4 we did not correctly set the result for the returned Future if it was build for a Callable.
Modifications:
- Adjust code to call get() to retrive the correct result for notification of the future.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11072
Motivation:
It is possible for two separate threads to race on recycling an object.
If this happens, the object might be added to a WeakOrderQueue when it shouldn't be.
The end result of this is that an object could be acquired multiple times, without a recycle in between.
Effectively, it ends up in circulation twice.
Modification:
We fix this by making the update to the lastRecycledId field of the handle, an atomic state transition.
Only the thread that "wins" the race and succeeds in their state transition will be allowed to recycle the object.
The others will bail out on their recycling.
We use weakCompareAndSet because we only need the atomicity guarantee, and the program order within each thread is sufficient.
Also, spurious failures just means we won't recycle that particular object, which is fine.
Result:
Objects no longer risk circulating twice due to a recycle race.
This fixes#10986
Motivation:
When etcResolver/hosts files are parsed, FileInputStream.read(...) is internally called by
- UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider#parseEtcResolverSearchDomains
- UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider#parseEtcResolverOptions
- HostsFileParser#parse
This will cause the error below when BlockHound is enabled
reactor.blockhound.BlockingOperationError: Blocking call! java.io.FileInputStream#readBytes
at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(FileInputStream.java)
at java.io.FileInputStream.read(FileInputStream.java:255)
Modifications:
- Add whitelist entries to BlockHound configuration
- Fix typos in UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider
- Add tests
Result:
Fixes#11004
Motivation:
File.createTempFile(String, String)` will create a temporary file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir'. The permissions on that file utilize the umask. In a majority of cases, this means that the file that java creates has the permissions: `-rw-r--r--`, thus, any other local user on that system can read the contents of that file.
This can be a security concern if any sensitive data is stored in this file.
This was reported by Jonathan Leitschuh <jonathan.leitschuh@gmail.com> as a security problem.
Modifications:
Use Files.createTempFile(...) which will use safe-defaults when running on java 7 and later. If running on java 6 there isnt much we can do, which is fair enough as java 6 shouldnt be considered "safe" anyway.
Result:
Create temporary files with sane permissions by default.
Motivation:
We produced a lot of noise during loading native libraries as we always included the stacktrace if we could not load by one mechanism. We should better just not include the stacktrace in the debugging logging if one mechanism fails. We will log all the stacks anyway when all of the mechanisms fail.
Modifications:
Make logging less aggressive
Result:
Less confusing behaviour for the end-user
Motivation:
Internally UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider#parse calls FileInputStream.read(...)
when parsing the etcResolverFiles.

The race is legit, but benign. To trigger it requires a TaskRunner to
begin exiting and set 'started' to false, more work to be scheduled
which starts a new TaskRunner, that work then needs to schedule
additional work which modifies 'scheduledTaskQueue', and then the
original TaskRunner checks 'scheduledTaskQueue'. But there is no danger
to this race as it can only produce a false negative in the condition
which causes the code to CAS 'started' which is thread-safe.
Modifications:
Delete problematic references to scheduledTaskQueue. The only way
scheduledTaskQueue could be modified since the last check is if another
TaskRunner is running, in which case the current TaskRunner doesn't
care.
Result:
Data-race free code, and a bit less code to boot.
Motivation:
I did not see any tangible advantage to the padding.
The only other field that was guarded was a rarely changed object reference to a BitSet.
Without the padding, there is also no longer any use of the inheritance hierarchy.
The padding was also using `long`, which would not necessarily prevent the JVM from fitting the aforementioned object reference in an alignment gap.
Modification:
Move all the fields into the InternalThreadLocalMap and deprecate the stuff we'd like to remove.
Result:
Simpler code.
This resolves the discussion in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9284
Motivation:
We shouldnt catch Throwable in InternalLoggerFactory as this may hide OOME etc.
Modifications:
Only catch LinkageError and Exception
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10857
Motivation:
In #10630, field substitutions were introduced for NetUtil.LOCALHOST4, NetUtil.LOCALHOST6 and NetUtil.LOCALHOST fields. They were required to allow a native image be built with most of Netty (including NetUtil) initialized at build time.
The substitutions created in #10630 only define getters, so the 3 fields can only be read in a native image.
But when NetUtil is initialized at run-time (this is what happens in #10797), its static initialization block is executed, and this block writes to all 3 fields. As the substitutions do not provide any setters, field stores are not valid, and such builds fail.
Modifications:
- Add netty-testsuite-native-image-client-runtime-init Maven module that builds a native image deferring NetUtil class initialization till run-time; this module is used to demonstrate the problem and verify the problem is gone with the fix
- Add no-op setters to substitutions for NetUtil.LOCALHOST4, NetUtil.LOCALHOST6 and NetUtil.LOCALHOST
Result:
A native image initializing NetUtil at run-time builds successfully.
Fixes#10797
Motivation:
Internally SSLEngineImpl.wrap(...) may call FileInputStream.read(...).
This will cause the error below when BlockHound is enabled
reactor.blockhound.BlockingOperationError: Blocking call! java.io.FileInputStream#readBytes

Modifications:
- Add whitelist entry to BlockHound configuration
- Add test
Result:
Fixes#10837
Motivation:
If Log4J2's `Filter` creates `Recycler.Stack` somehow, `Recycler.Stack()` will see uninitialized `Recycler.INITIAL_CAPACITY`. This has been raised originally in https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/micrometer/issues/2369.
Modification:
This PR changes to initialize `Recycler.INITIAL_CAPACITY` before invoking `InternalLogger.debug()` to avoid it.
Result:
Fixes the problem described in the "Motivation" section.
Motivation:
GlobalEventExecutor.addTask was rightfully allowed to block by commit
09d38c8. However the same should have been done for
SingleThreadEventExecutor.addTask.
BlockHound is currently intercepting that call, and as a consequence,
it prevents SingleThreadEventExecutor from working properly, if addTask is
called from a thread that cannot block.
The interception is due to LinkedBlockingQueue.offer implementation,
which uses a ReentrantLock internally.
Modifications:
* Added one BlockHound exception to
io.netty.util.internal.Hidden.NettyBlockHoundIntegration for
SingleThreadEventExecutor.addTask.
* Also added unit tests for both SingleThreadEventExecutor.addTask
and GlobalEventExecutor.addTask.
Result:
SingleThreadEventExecutor.addTask can now be invoked from any thread
when BlockHound is activated.
Motivation:
When a HashedWheelTimer instance is started or stopped, its working
thread is started or stopped. These operations block the calling
thread:
- start() calls java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch.await() to wait
for the worker thread to finish initializing;
- stop() calls java.lang.Thread.join(long) to wait for the worker
thread to exit.
BlockHound detects these calls and as a consequence, prevents
HashedWheelTimer from working properly, if it is started or stopped
in a thread that is not allowed to block.
Modifications:
Added two more BlockHound exceptions to
io.netty.util.internal.Hidden.NettyBlockHoundIntegration: one
for HashedWheelTimer.start() and one for HashedWheelTimer.stop().
Result:
HashedWheelTimer can now be started and stopped properly when
BlockHound is activated.

Motivation:
03aafb9cff did ensure we fail while loading a natibe library which is not compatible. While this is great it is still sometimes hard for people to understand what NoSuchMethodError means in this context.
Modifications:
If possible rethrow the NoSuchMethodError and provide some more hints about multiple versions of the shared library
Result:
Easier to understand for people why loading fails
Motivation:
ddebc10 added a few adjustments that are needed by io_uring that we will add as an incubator repository. Unfortunally we missed the changed in PlatformDependent*.
Modifications:
Add missing methods
Result:
Be able to compile io_uring code against core netty
Motivation:
Since GraalVM version 19.3.0, instances of java.net.InetAddress (and its subclasses Inet4Address and Inet6Address) are not allowed in native image heap (that is, they cannot be stored in static fields of classes initialized at build time or be reachable through static fields of such classes). When building a native image, it makes sense to initialize at build time as many classes as possible.
But some fields of some classes in Netty (for example, NetUtil.LOCALHOST4) contain InetAddress instances. If a program is using code path that makes it possible to reach such fields at build time initialization, it becomes impossible to build a native image initializing core Netty classes initialized at runtime. An example of such a program is a client that uses netty-dns.
Modifications:
- Add netty-testsuite-native-image-client Maven module to test that such an example program can be built after the corresponding fixes
- Add native-image.properties to resolver-dns module to move initialization of some classes to runtime (some of them are parsing configuration during initialization, so it makes no sense to initialize them at build time; for others, it's needed to avoid InetAddress reachability at build time)
- Add substitutions for NetUtil.LOCALHOST4, NetUtil.LOCALHOST6 and NetUtil.LOCALHOST to overcome the InetAddress-related prohibition
- Extract some initialization code from NetUtil to NetUtilInitializations to allow it to be used by the substitutions
Result:
A client program using netty-dns with --initialize-at-build-time=io.netty builds successfully
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
junit deprecated Assert.assertThat(...)
Modifications:
Use MatcherAssert.assertThat(...) as replacement for deprecated method
Result:
Less deprecation warnings
Motivation:
LGTM reports multiple issues. They need to be triaged,
and real ones should be fixed.
Modifications:
- Fixed multiple issues reported by LGTM, such as redundant conditions,
resource leaks, typos, possible integer overflows.
- Suppressed false-positives.
- Added a few testcases.
Result:
Fixed several possible issues, get rid of false alarms in the LGTM report.
Motivation:
We had two unit tests that sometimes failed due timeouts. After insepecting these I noticed these can be improved to run faster while still do the right validation
Modifications:
- Only submit one task for execution per execute
- Cleanup
Result:
No test failures due timeout
Motivation:
We have a few classes in which we store and reuse static instances of various exceptions. When doing so it is important to also override fillInStacktrace() and so prevent the leak of the ClassLoader in the internal backtrace field.
Modifications:
- Add overrides of fillInStracktrace when needed
- Move ThrowableUtil usage in the static methods
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/10686
Motivation:
All scheduled executors should behave in accordance to their API.
The bug here is that scheduled tasks were not run more than once because we executed the runnables directly, instead of through the provided runnable future.
Modification:
We now run tasks through the provided future, so that when each run completes, the internal state of the task is reset and the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor is informed of the completion.
This allows the executor to prepare the next run.
Result:
The UnorderedThreadPoolEventExecutor is now able to run scheduled tasks more than once.
Which is what one would expect from the API.
