Motivation:
`scavengeSome()` has a corner case: when setting `cursor` to `head`, `this.prev` may point to the tail of the `WeakOrderQueue` linked list. Then it's possible that the following while loop will link the tail to the head, and cause endless loop.
I made a reproducer in 36522e7b72 . The unit test will just run forever. Unfortunately, I cannot change it to a unit test because it needs to add some codes to `scavengeSome` to control the execution flow.
Modification:
Set `prev` to null when setting `cursor` to `head` in `scavengeSome`
Result:
Fixes#6153.
Motivation:
InternalThreadLocalMap.arrayList returns a new ArrayList every time it's called that defeats the purpose of having a reusable ArrayList.
Modification:
Modified InternalThreadLocalMap.arrayList to create an ArrayList only if arrayList field is NULL.
Result:
InternalThreadLocalMap.arrayList now creates a reusable ArrayList only if arrayList field is NULL.
Motivation:
We used a MPSC queue in ThreadDeathWatcher and checked if it empty via isEmpty() from multiple threads if very unlucky. Depending on the implementation this is not safe and may even produce things like live-locks.
Modifications:
Change to use a MPMC queue.
Result:
No more risk to run into issues when multiple threads call watch(...) / unwatch(...) concurrently.
Motivation:
DefaultChannelId provides a regular expression which validates if a user provided MAC address is valid. This regular expression may allow invalid MAC addresses and also not allow valid MAC addresses.
Modifications:
- Introduce a MacAddressUtil#parseMac method which can parse and validate the MAC address at the same time. The regular expression check before hand is additional overhead if we have to parse the MAC address.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6132.
Motivation:
`PromiseCombiner` is really handy, but it's not obvious how to use it from its existing documentation/method signatures.
Modification:
- Added javadoc comments to explain the theory of operation of `PromiseCombiner`.
- Generalized `PromiseCombiner` to work with `Futures` so it's clearer that the things for which it's listening won't be modified.
Result:
`PromiseCombiner` is easier to understand.
Motivation:
When profiling it is sometimes needed to still have the native library file avaible. We should allow to disable the explicit deletion and just delete it when the JVM stops.
This is related to #6110
Modifications:
Add io.netty.native.deleteLibAfterLoading system property which allows to disable the explicit delete after laoding
Result:
Possible to profile native libraries better.
Motivation:
In later Java8 versions our Atomic*FieldUpdater are slower then the JDK implementations so we should not use ours anymore. Even worse the JDK implementations provide for example an optimized version of addAndGet(...) using intrinsics which makes it a lot faster for this use-case.
Modifications:
- Remove methods that return our own Atomic*FieldUpdaters.
- Use the JDK implementations everywhere.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
c2f4daa739 added a unit test but used a too small test timeout.
Modifications:
Increase timeout.
Result:
Test should have enough time to complete on the CI.
Motivation:
InternalLoggerFactory either sets a default logger factory
implementation based on the logging implementations on the classpath, or
applications can set a logger factory explicitly. If applications wait
too long to set the logger factory, Netty will have already set a logger
factory leading to some objects using one logging implementation and
other objets using another logging implementation. This can happen too
if the application tries to set the logger factory twice, which is
likely a bug in the application. Yet, the Javadocs for
InternalLoggerFactory warn against this saying that
InternalLoggerFactory#setLoggerFactory "should be called as early as
possible and shouldn't be called more than once". Instead, Netty should
guard against this.
Modications:
We replace the logger factory field with an atomic reference on which we
can do CAS operations to safely guard against it being set twice. We
also add an internal holder class that captures the static interface of
InternalLoggerFactory that can aid in testing.
Result:
The logging factory can not be set twice, and applications that want to
set the logging factory must do it before any Netty classes are
initialized (or the default logger factory will be set).
Motivation:
We need to ensure the tracked object can not be GC'ed before ResourceLeak.close() is called as otherwise we may get false-positives reported by the ResourceLeakDetector. This can happen as the JIT / GC may be able to figure out that we do not need the tracked object anymore and so already enqueue it for collection before we actually get a chance to close the enclosing ResourceLeak.
Modifications:
- Add ResourceLeakTracker and deprecate the old ResourceLeak
- Fix some javadocs to correctly release buffers.
- Add a unit test for ResourceLeakDetector that shows that ResourceLeakTracker has not the problems.
Result:
No more false-positives reported by ResourceLeakDetector when ResourceLeakDetector.track(...) is used.
Motivation:
Java9 will be released soon so we should ensure we can compile netty with Java9 and run all our tests. This will help to make sure Netty will be usable with Java9.
Modification:
- Add some workarounds to be able to compile with Java9, note that the full profile is not supported with Java9 atm.
- Remove some usage of internal APIs to be able to compile on java9
- Not support Alpn / Npn and so not run the tests when using Java9 for now. We will do a follow up PR to add support.
Result:
Its possible to build netty and run its testsuite with Java9.
Motivation:
42fba015ce changed the implemention of ResourceLeakDetector to improve performance. While this was done a branch was missed that can be removed. Beside this using a Boolean as value for the ConcurrentMap is sub-optimal as when calling remove(key, value) an uncessary instanceof check and cast is needed on each removal.
Modifications:
- Remove branch which is not needed anymore
- Replace usage of Boolean as value type of the ConcurrentMap and use our own special type which only compute hash-code one time and use a == operation for equals(...) to reduce overhead present when using Boolean.
Result:
Faster and cleaner ResourceLeakDetector.
Motivation:
Netty has a flag (io.netty.noUnsafe) for specifying to Netty to not be
unsafe. Yet, when initializing PlatformDependent0, Netty still tries to
be unsafe. For application that specify to Netty to not be unsafe and
run under a security manager, this can lead to an obnoxious (debug
level) stack trace. Since Netty was told not to be unsafe, Netty should
not try to be unsafe.
Modifications:
The initialization logic in PlatformDependent0 should take into account
that Netty was told not to be unsafe. This means that we need to
initialize PlatformDependent#IS_EXPLICIT_NO_UNSAFE as soon as possible,
before the static initializer for PlatformDependent0 has a chance to
run. Thus the following modifications are made:
- initialize PlatformDependent#IS_EXPLICIT_NO_UNSAFE before any other
code in PlatformDependent causes PlatformDependent0 to initialize
- expose the value of PlatformDependent#IS_EXPLICIT_NO_UNSAFE for
reading in PlatformDependent0
- take the value of PlatformDependent#IS_EXPLICIT_NO_UNSAFE into
account in PlatformDependent0
Result:
Netty does not try to be unsafe when told not to be unsafe.
Motivation:
For applications that set their own logger factory, they want that
logger factory to be the one logger factory. Yet, Netty eagerly
initializes this and then triggers initialization of other classes
before the application has had a chance to set its preferred logger
factory.
Modifications:
With this commit there are two key changes:
- Netty does not attempt to eagerly initialize the default logger
factory, only doing so if the application layer above Netty has not
already set a logger factory
- do not eagerly initialize unrelated classes from the logger factory;
while the motivation behind this was to initialize ThreadLocalRandom
as soon as possible in case it has to block reading from /dev/random,
this can be worked around for applications where it is problematic by
setting securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom in their Java system
security policy (no, it is not less secure; do not even get me
started on myths about /dev/random)
Result:
Netty uses the logger factory that the application prefers, and does not
initialize unrelated classes.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent#getSystemClassLoader may throw a wide variety of exceptions based upon the environment. We should handle all exceptions and continue initializing the slow path if an exception occurs.
Modifications:
- Catch Throwable in cases where PlatformDependent#getSystemClassLoader is used
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6038
Motiviation:
We used ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) in our tests which simplifies a bit the releasing of ReferenceCounted objects. The problem with this is that while it simplifies stuff it increase memory usage a lot as memory may not be freed up in a timely manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate releaseLater(...)
- Remove usage of releaseLater(...) in tests.
Result:
Less memory needed to build netty while running the tests.
Motivation:
00fc239995 introduced a change to HashedWheelTimerTest which attempted to wait for an explicit event notification until more timer events can be added. However HashedWheelTimer will execute the timer Runnable before removing it from the queue and decrementing the total count. This make it difficult for users to know when it is safe to add another timer task as the limit is approached.
Modifications:
- HashedWheelTimer should remove the timer Runnable before executing the task.
Result:
Users can more reliably add new timers when the limit is reached and HashedWheelTimerTest will no longer fail spuriously due to this race condition.
Motivation:
If a stream is not able to send any data (flow control window for the stream is exhausted) but has descendants who can send data then WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor may incorrectly modify the pseudo time and also double add the associated state to the parent's priority queue. The pseudo time should only be modified if a node is moved in the priority tree, and not if there happens to be no active streams in its descendent tree and a descendent is moved (e.g. removed from the tree because it wrote all data and the last data frame was EOS). Also the state objects for WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor should only appear once in any queue. If this condition is violated the pseudo time accounting would be biased at and assumptions in WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor would be invalidated.
Modifications:
- WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor#isActiveCountChangeForTree should not allow re-adding to the priority queue if we are currently processing a node in the distribution algorithm. The distribution algorithm will re-evaluate if the node should be re-added on the tail end of the recursion.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5980
Motivation:
HashWheelTimerTest has busy/wait and sleep statements which are not necessary. We also depend upon a com.google.common.base.Supplier which isn't necessary.
Modifications:
- Remove buys wait loops and timeouts where possible
Result:
HashWheelTimerTest more explicit in verifying conditions and less reliant on wait times.
Motivation:
If the rate at which new timeouts are created is very high and the created timeouts are not cancelled, then the JVM can crash because of out of heap space. There should be a guard in the implementation to prevent this.
Modifications:
The constructor of HashedWheelTimer now takes an optional max pending timeouts parameter beyond which it will reject new timeouts by throwing RejectedExecutionException.
Result:
After this change, if the max pending timeouts parameter is passed as constructor argument to HashedWheelTimer, then it keeps a track of pending timeouts that aren't yet expired or cancelled. When a new timeout is being created, it checks for current pending timeouts and if it's equal to or greater than provided max pending timeouts, then it throws RejectedExecutionException.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent0 should not be referenced directly when sun.misc.Unsafe is unavailable.
Modifications:
Guard byteArrayBaseOffset with hasUnsafe check.
Result:
PlatformDependent can be initialized when sun.misc.Unsafe is unavailable.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector shows two main problems, racy access and heavy lock contention.
Modifications:
This PR fixes this by doing two things:
1. Replace the sampling counter with a ThreadLocalRandom. This has two benefits.
First, it makes the sampling ration no longer have to be a power of two. Second,
it de-noises the continuous races that fight over this single value. Instead,
this change uses slightly more CPU to decide if it should sample by using TLR.
2. DefaultResourceLeaks need to be kept alive in order to catch leaks. The means
by which this happens is by a singular, doubly-linked list. This creates a
large amount of contention when allocating quickly. This is noticeable when
running on a multi core machine.
Instead, this uses a concurrent hash map to keep track of active resources
which has much better contention characteristics.
Results:
Better concurrent hygiene. Running the gRPC QPS benchmark showed RLD taking about
3 CPU seconds for every 1 wall second when runnign with 12 threads.
There are some minor perks to this as well. DefaultResourceLeak accounting is
moved to a central place which probably has better caching behavior.
Motivation:
PlatformDependent has a hash code algorithm which utilizes UNSAFE for performance reasons. This hash code algorithm must also be consistent with CharSequence objects that represent a collection of ASCII characters. In order to make the UNSAFE versions and CharSequence versions the endianness should be taken into account. However the big endian code was not correct in a few places.
Modifications:
- Correct bugs in PlatformDependent class related to big endian ASCII hash code computation
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5925
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector reports leak for first call to open(obj) as its leakCheckCnt starts with value 0 and increment subsequently. with value of leakCheckCnt =0, it always returns ResourceLeak. Our application calls ResourceLeakDetector.open(obj) to validate Leak and it fails at very first call even though there is no leak in application.
Modifications:
ResourceLeakDetector.leakCheckCnt value will not be 0 while deriving leak and it will not return incorrect value of ResourceLeak.
Result:
Fix false leak report on first call on ResourceLeakDetector.
Motivation:
NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress does not correctly translate IPv4 address to String. Also IPv6 addresses may not follow minimization conventions when converting to a String (see rfc 5952).
Modifications:
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should correctly handle negative byte values for IPv4
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should leverage existing to string conversion code in NetUtil
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5821
Motivation:
At the moment we log very confusing messages when trying to load a native library which kind of suggest that the whole loading process failed even if just one mechanism failed and the library could be loaded at the end.
Modifications:
Make the mesage less confusing and also log a successful load of the native library.
Result:
Less confusing logs.
Motivation:
Since netty shaded JCTools the OSGi manifest no longer is correct. It claims to
have an optional import "org.jctools.queues;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.qu
eues.atomic;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.util;resolution:=optional"
However since it is shaded, this is no longer true.
This was noticed when making JCTools a real bundle and netty resolved it as
optional import.
Modifications:
Modify the generated manifest by no longer analyzing org.jctools for imports.
A manual setting of sun.misc as optional was required.
Result:
Netty OSGi bundle will no longer interfere with a JCTools bundle.
Motivation:
To make it easier to debug why notification of a promise failed we should log extra info and make it consistent.
Modifications:
- Create a new PromiseNotificationUtil that has static methods that can be used to try notify a promise and log.
- Reuse this in AbstractChannelHandlerContext, ChannelOutboundBuffer and PromiseNotifier
Result:
Easier to debug why a promise could not be notified.
Motivation:
We can share the code in retain() and retain(...) and also in release() and release(...).
Modifications:
Share code.
Result:
Less duplicated code.
Motivation:
Windows refuses to load a .DLL file when it's opened by other process.
Recent modification in NativeLibraryLoader causes NativeLibraryLoader to
attempt to load a .DLL before closing its OutputStream. As a result,
loading a .DLL file in Windows always fails.
Modifications:
Close the OutputStream explicitly before loading a shared library.
Result:
Native library loading in Windows works again.
Motivation:
SystemPropertyUtil requires InternalLoggerFactory requires ThreadLocalRandom requires SystemPropertyUtil. This can lead to a dead-lock.
Modifications:
Ensure ThreadLocalRandom does not require SystemPropertyUtil during initialization.
Result:
No more deadlock possible.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to be able to wrap an existing memory address (a.k.a pointer) and create a ByteBuf from it. This way its easier to interopt with other libraries.
Modifications:
Add a new Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(....) method that takes a memory address.
Result:
Be able to wrap an existing memory address into a ByteBuf.
Motivation:
As the issue #5539 say, the OpenSsl.class will throw `java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.apache.tomcat.jni.Library.version(I)I` when it is invoked. This path try to resolve the problem by modifying the native library loading logic of OpenSsl.class.
Modifications:
The OpenSsl.class loads the tcnative lib by `NativeLibraryLoader.loadFirstAvailable()`. The native library will be loaded in the bundle `netty-common`'s ClassLoader, which is diff with the native class's ClassLoader. That is the root cause of throws `UnsatisfiedLinkError` when the native method is invoked.
So, it should load the native library by the its bundle classloader firstly, then the embedded resources if failed.
Result:
First of all, the error threw by native method problem will be resolved.
Secondly, the native library should work as normal in non-OSGi env. But, this is hard. The loading logic of `Library.class` in `netty-tcnative` bundle is simple: try to load the library in PATH env. If not found, it falls back to the originally logic `NativeLibraryLoader.loadFirstAvailable()`.

Motivation:
When try to call Cleaner.run() via reflection on Java9 you may see an IllegalAccessException.
Modifications:
Just cast the Cleaner to Runnable to prevent IllegalAccessException to be raised.
Result:
Free direct buffers also work on Java9+ as expected.
Motivation:
Our current strategy in NativeLibraryLoader is to mark the temporary .so file to be deleted on JVM exit. This has the drawback to not delete the file in the case the JVM dies or is killed.
Modification:
Just directly try to delete the file one we loaded the native library and if this fails mark the file to be removed once the JVM exits.
Result:
Less likely to have temporary files still on the system in case of JVM kills.
Motivation:
According to the Oracle documentation:
> java.net.preferIPv4Stack (default: false)
>
> If IPv6 is available on the operating system, the underlying native
> socket will be an IPv6 socket. This allows Java applications to connect
> to, and accept connections from, both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts.
>
> If an application has a preference to only use IPv4 sockets, then this
> property can be set to true. The implication is that the application
> will not be able to communicate with IPv6 hosts.
which means, if DnsNameResolver returns an IPv6 address, a user (or
Netty) will not be able to connect to it.
Modifications:
- Move the code that retrieves java.net.prefer* properties from
DnsNameResolver to NetUtil
- Add NetUtil.isIpV6AddressesPreferred()
- Revise the API documentation of NetUtil.isIpV*Preferred()
- Set the default resolveAddressTypes to IPv4 only when
NetUtil.isIpv4StackPreferred() returns true
Result:
- Fixes#5657
Motiviation:
Preparing platform dependent code for using unsafe requires executing
privileged code. The privileged code for initializing unsafe is executed
in a manner that would require all code leading up to the initialization
to have the requisite permissions. Yet, in a restrictive environment
(e.g., under a security policy that only grants the requisite
permissions the Netty common jar but not to application code triggering
the Netty initialization), then initializing unsafe will not succeed
even if the security policy would otherwise permit it.
Modifications:
This commit marks the necessary blocks as privileged. This enables
access to the necessary resources for initialization unsafe. The idea is
that we are saying the Netty code is trusted, and as long as the Netty
code has been granted the necessary permissions, then we will allow the
caller access to these resources even though the caller itself might not
have the requisite permissions.
Result:
Unsafe can be initialized in a restrictive security environment.
Motivation:
Its not clear that the capacity is per thread.
Modifications:
Rename system property to make it more clear that the recycler capacity is per thread.
Result:
Less confusing.
Motivation:
We not need to do an extra conditional check in retain(...) as we can just check for overflow after we did the increment.
Modifications:
- Remove extra conditional check
- Add test code.
Result:
One conditional check less.
