Motivation:
We need to ensure we always close the Channel when we see an exception during bootstrapping it.
Modification:
Ensure we correct close the Channel if we see an exception during retrieving the Resolver from the group while bootstrapping.
Result:
Fixes#10109

Motivation:
Netty's DefaultThreadFactory that creates FastThreadLocalThread instance is widely used in NioEventLoopGroup, EpollEventLoopGroup, etc, but not OioEventLoopGroup. Although oio is quite stale, I still think this change may be useful.
Modification:
Replace oio's default thread factory with netty's DefaultThreadFactory just like NioEventLoopGroup, EpollEventLoopGroup, etc.
Result:
Faster access to FastThreadLocal in oio.
Motivation:
In general, we will close the debug log in a product environment. However, logging without external level check may still affect performance as varargs will need to allocate an array.
Modification:
Add log level check simply before logging.
Result:
Improve performance slightly in a product environment.
Motivation:
When the HttpContentCompressor is put on an alternate EventExecutor, the order of events should be
preserved so that the compressed content is correctly created.
Modifications:
- checking that the executor in the ChannelHandlerContext is the same executor as the current executor when evaluating if the handler should be skipped.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10067

Motivation:
We should not include the number of ServerChannel that are part of the DefaultChannelGroup when specify the initial size of the LinkedHashMap
Modifications:
Only use the number of the non ServerChannel
Result:
Reduce memory-footprint
Motivation:
The method body of fillInStackTrace method of IllegalStateException class in SimpleChannelPool.java is so simple (just return this) that there is no need to be marked as synchronized.
Modification:
Remove the synchronized flag of fillInStackTrace method.
Result:
It can improve performance slightly while creating a IllegalStateException instance.
Motivation:
The method body of fillInStackTrace method of TimeoutException class in FixedChannelPool.java is so simple (just return this) that there is no need to be marked as synchronized.
Modification:
Remove the synchronized flag of fillInStackTrace method.
Result:
It can improve performance slightly while throwing a TimeoutException.
Motivation:
Current pipeline handler replace tests are replacing handler with same name.
we need test that test handler can renamed, old handlers are removed from pipeline.
Modification:
There is coverage missing related to renaming of handlers
Result:
Adds missing tests

Motivation:
NioEventLoopTest.testChannelsRegistered sometimes fails due a race which is related to how SelectionKey and Selector is implemented in the JDK. In the current implementation it will "lazy" remove SelectionKeys from the Set which means we may still have these included sometimes when we use size() to get the number of SelectionKeys.
Modifications:
Just retry to read the number of registered Channels if we still see 2
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9895
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9458 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
- Add unit test
Result:
Apply ChannelOptions in correct and expected order
Motivation
This test is failing intermittently and upon inspection has a race
condition.
Modification
Fix race condition by waiting for async release calls to complete prior
to closing the pool.
Result
Hopefully fixed flakey test
Motivation:
The Channel Pool tests commonly use the same fixed local address String. This
has been observed to result in test failures if a single test fails and cleanup
is not done properly, or if tests are run in parallel. Also each test should
close any channel pool objects or maps to make sure resources are reclaimed.
Modifications:
- Use a random string for the address on each test to reduce the chance of
collision.
- close all ChannelPool and ChannelPoolMap objects at the end of each test
Result:
Less likely to observe spurious failures due to LocalAddress collisions and more
complete test cleanup.
Motivation:
In #9830 the get/remove/close methods implementation changed to avoid
deadlocks on event loops. The change involved modifying the methods to
close the managed ChannelPools asynchronously and return immediately.
While this behavior might be fine for get/remove, it is changing what
a user expects from a close() method and after returning from close()
there might be still resources open.
Modifications:
This change is a follow-up for #9830 to preserve the synchronous
behavior of the AbstractChannelPoolMap#close() method.
Result:
AbstractChannelPoolMap#close() returns once the managed pools have
been closed.
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:
In certain scenarios mutliple concurrent AbstractChannelPoolMap
operations might be called from event loops that handle also
ChannelPool close operations. If the map uses synchronous close
it could end up blocking the event loop and if multiple threads
are waiting for each other a deadlock might occur.
Modifications:
Previously #9226 introduced a closeAsync operation for
FixedChannelPool, which is now extended to SimpleChannelPool class.
The AbstractChannelPoolMap now uses the closeAsync operations when
closing redundant or removed SimpleChannelPool instances.
Result:
The AbstractChannelPoolMap get/remove operations will not wait
until the pools are closed as they will happen asynchronously and
avoid situations that could cause the event loop being blocked in
deadlocks.
Motiviation
#9800 was just merged which consolidates the flush/no-flush WriteTasks
in AbstractChannelHandlerContext, but after looking at the changes again
I noticed a tiny simplification that would be good to make imo.
Modification
Remove use of conditional operator in decrementPendingOutboundBytes()
Result
Simpler code, one less branch
Motivation
The event loop implementations had become somewhat tangled over time and
work was done recently to streamline EpollEventLoop. NioEventLoop would
benefit from the same treatment and it is more straighforward now that
we can follow the same structure as was done for epoll.
Modifications
Untangle NioEventLoop logic and mirror what's now done in EpollEventLoop
w.r.t. the volatile selector wake-up guard and scheduled task deadline
handling.
Some common refinements to EpollEventLoop have also been included - to
use constants for the "special" deadline/wakeup volatile values and to
avoid some unnecessary calls to System.nanoTime() on task-only
iterations.
Result
Hopefully cleaner, more efficient and less fragile NIO transport
implementation.
Motivation
AbstractChannelHandlerContext uses recyclable tasks when performing
writes from outside of the event loop. There's currently two distinct
classes WriteTask and WriteAndFlushTask used for executing writes versus
writeAndFlushes, and these are recycled in separate pools. However it is
straightforward to just have a single class / recycler pool, with a
flush flag.
Modifications
- Unify WriteTasks into a single class using the sign bit of the
existing size field to indicate whether a flush should be performed
- Use the new executor lazyExecute() method to lazily execute the
non-flush write tasks explicitly
- Change AbstractChannelHandlerContext#invokeWrite and
AbstractChannelHandlerContext#invokeWriteAndFlush from private to
package-private to avoid synthetic methods
- Correct the default object size estimate for WriteTask
Results
- Possibly improved reuse of recycled write tasks
- Fewer virtual method calls and shorter path lengths
- Less code
Motivation:
In most cases, we want to use MultithreadEventLoopGroup such as NioEventLoopGroup without setting thread numbers but thread name only. So we need to use followed code:
NioEventLoopGroup boss = new NioEventLoopGroup(0, new DefaultThreadFactory("boss"));
It looks a bit confuse or strange for the number 0 due to we only want to set thread name. So it will be better to add new constructor for this case.
Modifications:
add new constructor into all event loop groups, for example: public NioEventLoopGroup(ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Result:
User can only set thread factory without setting the thread number to 0:
NioEventLoopGroup boss = new NioEventLoopGroup(new DefaultThreadFactory("boss"));
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9548 introduced a change that creates a new AttributeKey
for each SimpleChannelPool instance created. AttributeKeys are cached statically in a ConstantPool
by the AttributeKey.newInstance method. Because of this, creating a SimpleChannelPool instance will
allocate memory that will never be released, even after the SimpleChannelPool is closed.
Modifications:
This change goes back to a single AttributeKey per SimpleChannelPool, just using a more specific
name to reduce the chance of conflicts with user code.
Result:
No memory is leaked after a SimpleChannelPool instance is created and destroyed.
Motivation
This is already done internally for various reasons but it would make
sense i.m.o. as a top level concept: submitting a task to be run on the
event loop which doesn't need to run immediately but must still be
executed in FIFO order relative all other submitted tasks (be those
"lazy" or otherwise).
It's nice to separate this abstract "relaxed" semantic from concrete
implementations - the simplest is to just delegate to existing execute,
but for the main EL impls translates to whether a wakeup is required
after enqueuing.
Having a "global" abstraction also allows for simplification of our
internal use - for example encapsulating more of the common scheduled
future logic within AbstractScheduledEventExecutor.
Modifications
- Introduce public LazyRunnable interface and
AbstractEventExecutor#lazyExecute method (would be nice for this to be
added to EventExecutor interface in netty 5)
- Tweak existing SingleThreadEventExecutor mechanics to support these
- Replace internal use of NonWakeupRunnable (such as for pre-flush
channel writes)
- Uplift scheduling-related hooks into AbstractScheduledEventExecutor,
eliminating intermediate executeScheduledRunnable method
Result
Simpler code, cleaner and more useful/flexible abstractions - cleaner in
that they fully communicate the intent in a more general way, without
implying/exposing/restricting implementation details
Motivation:
At the moment we directly extend the Recycler base class in our code which makes it hard to experiment with different Object pool implementation. It would be nice to be able to switch from one to another by using a system property in the future. This would also allow to more easily test things like https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8052.
Modifications:
- Introduce ObjectPool class with static method that we now use internally to obtain an ObjectPool implementation.
- Wrap the Recycler into an ObjectPool and return it for now
Result:
Preparation for different ObjectPool implementations
Motivation:
We can use the `@SuppressJava6Requirement` annotation to be more precise about when we use Java6+ APIs. This helps us to ensure we always protect these places.
Modifications:
Make use of `@SuppressJava6Requirement` explicit
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2509.
Motivation
NioEventLoopTest#testChannelsRegistered() fails intermittently due to
use of SingleThreadEventLoop#channelsRegistered() which is not
threadsafe and unreliable when called from outside the event loop.
Modifications
Add static registeredChannels method to NioEventLoopTest and
AbstractSingleThreadEventLoopTest to call from the tests via event loop
instead of directly.
Result
Hopefully fewer test failures
Motivation
The current event loop shutdown logic is quite fragile and in the
epoll/NIO cases relies on the default 1 second wait/select timeout that
applies when there are no scheduled tasks. Without this default timeout
the shutdown would hang indefinitely.
The timeout only takes effect in this case because queued scheduled
tasks are first cancelled in
SingleThreadEventExecutor#confirmShutdown(), but I _think_ even this
isn't robust, since the main task queue is subsequently serviced which
could result in some new scheduled task being queued with much later
deadline.
It also means shutdowns are unnecessarily delayed by up to 1 second.
Modifications
- Add/extend unit tests to expose the issue
- Adjust SingleThreadEventExecutor shutdown and confirmShutdown methods
to explicitly add no-op tasks to the taskQueue so that the subsequent
event loop iteration doesn't enter blocking wait (as looks like was
originally intended)
Results
Faster and more robust shutdown of event loops, allows removal of the
default wait timeout
Motivation:
On JDK > 9 Netty uses Unsafe to write two internal JDK fields: sun.nio.ch.SelectorImp.selectedKeys and sun.nio.ch.SelectorImpl.publicSelectedKeys. This is done in transport/src/main/java/io/netty/channel/nio/NioEventLoop.java:225, in openSelector() method. The GraalVM analysis cannot do the Unsafe registration automatically because the object field offset computation is hidden behind two layers of calls.
Modifications:
This PR updates the Netty GraalVM configuration by registering those fields for unsafe access.
Result:
Improved support for Netty on GraalVM with JDK > 9.
Motivation:
Due a bug we did not always correctly calculate the next buffer size in AdaptiveRecvByteBufAllocator.
Modification:
Fix calculation and add unit test
Result:
Correct calculation is always used.
Motivation:
We should correctly reset the cached local and remote address when a Channel.disconnect() is called and the channel has a notion of disconnect vs close (for example DatagramChannel implementations).
Modifications:
- Correctly reset cached kicak abd remote address
- Update testcase to cover it and so ensure all transports work in a consistent way
Result:
Correctly handle disconnect()
Motivation:
calculateMaxBytesPerGatheringWrite() contains duplicated calculation: getSendBufferSize() << 1
Modifications:
Remove the duplicated calculation
Result:
The method will be clear and better
Motivation:
It is noticed that SimpleChannelPool's POOL_KEY attribute name channelPool is easy to get conflict with user code and throws an exception 'channelPool' is already in use. Being a generic framework - it would be great if we can name the attribute something unique - may be use UUID for the name since the name is not required later.
Modifications:
This change make sure that the POOL_KEY used inside SimpleChannelPool is unique by appending the object hashcode in the name.
Result:
No unwanted channel attribute name conflict with user code.
Motivation:
Following up on discussion with @normanmaurer with suggestion to improve code clarity.
Modification:
Method is synchronized, no need for assert or verbose sync blocks around calls.
Result:
Reduce verbosity and more idiomatic use of keyword. Also rename the method to better describe what it's for.
Motivation:
We need to update the doubly-linked list nodes while holding a lock via synchronized in all cases as otherwise we may end-up with a corrupted pipeline. We missed this when calling remove0(...) due handlerAdded(...) throwing an exception.
Modifications:
- Correctly hold lock while update node
- Add assert
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9528
Motivation:
There are some extra log level checks (logger.isWarnEnabled()).
Modification:
Remove log level checks (logger.isWarnEnabled()) from io.netty.channel.epoll.AbstractEpollStreamChannel, io.netty.channel.DefaultFileRegion, io.netty.channel.nio.AbstractNioChannel, io.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer, io.netty.handler.stream.ChunkedWriteHandler and io.netty.channel.udt.nio.NioUdtMessageConnectorChannel
Result:
Fixes#9456
Motivation
The epoll transport was updated in #7834 to decouple setting of the
timerFd from the event loop, so that scheduling delayed tasks does not
require waking up epoll_wait. To achieve this, new overridable hooks
were added in the AbstractScheduledEventExecutor and
SingleThreadEventExecutor superclasses.
However, the minimumDelayScheduledTaskRemoved hook has no current
purpose and I can't envisage a _practical_ need for it. Removing
it would reduce complexity and avoid supporting this specific
API indefinitely. We can add something similar later if needed
but the opposite is not true.
There also isn't a _nice_ way to use the abstractions for
wakeup-avoidance optimizations in other EventLoops that don't have a
decoupled timer.
This PR replaces executeScheduledRunnable and
wakesUpForScheduledRunnable
with two new methods before/afterFutureTaskScheduled that have slightly
different semantics:
- They only apply to additions; given the current internals there's no
practical use for removals
- They allow per-submission wakeup decisions via a boolean return val,
which makes them easier to exploit from other existing EL impls (e.g.
NIO/KQueue)
- They are subjectively "cleaner", taking just the deadline parameter
and not exposing Runnables
- For current EL/queue impls, only the "after" hook is really needed,
but specialized blocking queue impls can conditionally wake on task
submission (I have one lined up)
Also included are further optimization/simplification/fixes to the
timerFd manipulation logic.
Modifications
- Remove AbstractScheduledEventExecutor#minimumDelayScheduledTaskRemoved()
and supporting methods
- Uplift NonWakeupRunnable and corresponding default wakesUpForTask()
impl from SingleThreadEventLoop to SingleThreadEventExecutor
- Change executeScheduledRunnable() to be package-private, and have a
final impl in SingleThreadEventExecutor which triggers new overridable
hooks before/afterFutureTaskScheduled()
- Remove unnecessary use of bookend tasks while draining the task queue
- Use new hooks to add simpler wake-up avoidance optimization to
NioEventLoop (primarily to demonstrate utility/simplicity)
- Reinstate removed EpollTest class
In EpollEventLoop:
- Refactor to use only the new afterFutureTaskScheduled() hook for
updating timerFd
- Fix setTimerFd race condition using a monitor
- Set nextDeadlineNanos to a negative value while the EL is awake and
use this to block timer changes from outside the EL. Restore the
known-set value prior to sleeping, updating timerFd first if necessary
- Don't read from timerFd when processing expiry event
Result
- Cleaner API for integrating with different EL/queue timing impls
- Fixed race condition to avoid missing scheduled wakeups
- Eliminate unnecessary timerFd updates while EL is awake, and
unnecessary expired timerFd reads
- Avoid unnecessary scheduled-task wakeups when using NIO transport
I did not yet further explore the suggestion of using
TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME for the timerFd.
Motivation:
In AbstractBoostrap, options and attrs are LinkedHashMap that are synchronized on for every read, copy/clone, write operation.
When a lot of connections are triggered concurrently on the same bootstrap instance, the synchronized blocks lead to contention, Netty IO threads get blocked, and performance may be severely degraded.
Modifications:
Use ConcurrentHashMap
Result:
Less contention. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9426
Motivation:
EPOLL supports decoupling the timed wakeup mechanism from the selector call. The EPOLL transport takes advantage of this in order to offer more fine grained timer resolution. However we are current calling timerfd_settime on each call to epoll_wait and this is expensive. We don't have to re-arm the timer on every call to epoll_wait and instead only have to arm the timer when a task is scheduled with an earlier expiration than any other existing scheduled task.
Modifications:
- Before scheduled tasks are added to the task queue, we determine if the new
duration is the soonest to expire, and if so update with timerfd_settime. We
also drain all the tasks at the end of the event loop to make sure we service
any expired tasks and get an accurate next time delay.
- EpollEventLoop maintains a volatile variable which represents the next deadline to expire. This variable is modified inside the event loop thread (before calling epoll_wait) and out side the event loop thread (immediately to ensure proper wakeup time).
- Execute the task queue before the schedule task priority queue. This means we
may delay the processing of scheduled tasks but it ensures we transfer all
pending tasks from the task queue to the scheduled priority queue to run the
soonest to expire scheduled task first.
- Deprecate IORatio on EpollEventLoop, and drain the executor and scheduled queue on each event loop wakeup. Coupling the amount of time we are allowed to drain the executor queue to a proportion of time we process inbound IO may lead to unbounded queue sizes and unpredictable latency.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7829
- In most cases this results in less calls to timerfd_settime
- Less event loop wakeups just to check for scheduled tasks executed outside the event loop
- More predictable executor queue and scheduled task queue draining
- More accurate and responsive scheduled task execution
Motivation:
Look like `EmbeddedChannelPipeline` should also override `onUnhandledInboundMessage(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg)` in order to do not print "Discarded message pipeline" because in case of `EmbeddedChannelPipeline` discarding actually not happens.
This fixes next warning in the latest netty version with websocket and `WebSocketServerCompressionHandler`:
```
13:36:36.231 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame opCode=2
13:36:36.231 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame length=5
13:36:36.231 DEBUG- Discarded message pipeline : [JdkZlibDecoder#0, DefaultChannelPipeline$TailContext#0]. Channel : [id: 0xembedded, L:embedded - R:embedded].
```
Modification:
Override correct method
Result:
Follow up fix after https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9286
Motivation:
On servers with many pipelines or dynamic pipelines, it is easy for end user to make mistake during pipeline configuration. Current message:
`Discarded inbound message PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(ridx: 0, widx: 2, cap: 2) that reached at the tail of the pipeline. Please check your pipeline configuration.`
Is not always meaningful and doesn't allow to find the wrong pipeline quickly.
Modification:
Added additional log placeholder that identifies pipeline handlers and channel info. This will allow for the end users quickly find the problem pipeline.
Result:
Meaningful warning when the message reaches the end of the pipeline. Fixes#7285
Motivation:
We observed some test-failues sometimes in the CI which happened if sc.close() was not completed before the next test did run. If this happened we would fail the bind(...) as the LocalAddress was still in use.
Modifications:
Await the close before return
Result:
Fixes race in testsuite which resulted in FixedChannelPoolTest.testAcquireNewConnection to fail if FixedChannelPoolTest.testCloseAsync() did run before it.
Motivation:
Currently GraalVM substrate returns null for reflective calls if the reflection access is not declared up front.
A change introduced in Netty 4.1.35 results in needing to register every Netty handler for reflection. This complicates matters as it is difficult to know all the possible handlers that need to be registered.
Modification:
This change adds a simple
null check such that Netty does not break on GraalVM substrate without the reflection information registration.
Result:
Fixes#9278
Motivation:
c9aaa93d83 added the ability to specify an EventLoopTaskQueueFactory but did place it under MultithreadEventLoopGroup while not really belongs there.
Modifications:
Make EventLoopTaskQueueFactory a top-level interface
Result:
More logical code layout.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is desirable to be able to use a different Queue implementation for the EventLoop of a Channel. This is currently not possible without resort to reflection.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor to Nio|Epoll|KQueueEventLoopGroup which allows to specify a factory which is used to create the task queue. This was the user can override the default implementation.
- Add test
Result:
Be able to change Queue that is used for the EventLoop.
Motivation:
In the current implementation, the synchronous close() method for FixedChannelPool returns
after scheduling the channels to close via a single threaded executor asynchronously. Closing a channel
requires event loop group, however, there might be a scenario when the application has closed
the event loop group after the sync close() completes. In this scenario an exception is thrown
(event loop rejected the execution) when the single threaded executor tries to close the channel.
Modifications:
Complete the close function only after all the channels have been close and introduce
closeAsync() method for cases when the current/existing behaviour is desired.
Result:
Close function would completely when the channels have been closed
Motivation:
Sometimes it is beneficial to be able to set a parent Channel in EmbeddedChannel if the handler that should be tested depend on the parent.
Modifications:
- Add another constructor which allows to specify a parent
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9228.
Motivation:
When Netty is run through ProGuard, seemingly unused methods are removed. This breaks reflection, making the Handler skipping throw a reflective error.
Modification:
If a method is seemingly absent, just disable the optimization.
Result:
Dealing with ProGuard sucks infinitesimally less.
Motivation:
When initializing the AnnotatedSocketException in AbstractChannel, both
the cause and the stack trace are set, leaving a trailing "Caused By"
that is compressed when printing the trace.
Modification:
Don't include the stack trace in the exception, but leave it in the cause.
Result:
Clearer stack trace
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:
Clean the code , replace all logic that checks Null with the ObjectUtil utility class in bootstrap package
Modification:
Replace all logic that checks null with the ObjectUtil utility class
Result:
Less verbose code.
Motivation:
SimpleChannelPool provides ability to provide custom callbacks/handlers
on major events such as "channel acquired", "channel created" and
"channel released". In the current implementation, when a request to
acquire a channel is made for the first time, the internal channel pool
creates the channel lazily. This triggers the "channel created" callback
but does not invoke the "channel acquired" callback. This is contrary to
caller expectations who assumes that "channel acquired" will be invoked
at the end of every successful acquire call. It also leads to an
inconsistent API experience where the acquired callback is sometimes
invoked and sometimes it isn't depending on wheather the internal
mechanism is creating a new channel or re-using an existing one.
Modifications:
Invoke acquired callback consistenly even when creating a new channel
and modify the tests to support this behaviour
Result:
Consistent experience for the caller of acquire API. Every time they
call the API, the acquired callback will be invoked.
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
The optimization in #8988 didn't correctly handle the specific case
where the channel hasDisconnect == false, and a
ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter subclass overrides only the close(ctx,
promise) method without also overriding the disconnect(ctx, promise)
method.
Modifications
Adjust AbstractChannelHandler.disconnect(...) method to divert to
close(...) in !hasDisconnect case before computing target context for
the event.
Result
Fixes#9092
Motivation:
When a Channel was closed its isActive() method must return false.
Modifications:
First check for isOpen() before isBound() as isBound() will continue to return true even after the underyling fd was closed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9026.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler may trigger unexpected idle events when flushing large entries to slow clients.
Modification:
In netty design, we check the identity hash code and total pending write bytes of the current flush entry to determine whether there is a change in output. But if a large entry has been flushing slowly (for some reason, the network speed is slow, or the client processing speed is too slow to cause the TCP sliding window to be zero), the total pending write bytes size and identity hash code would remain unchanged.
Avoid this issue by adding checks for the current entry flush progress.
Result:
Fixes#8912 .
Motivation:
Invoking ChannelHandlers is not free and can result in some overhead when the ChannelPipeline becomes very long. This is especially true if most handlers will just forward the call to the next handler in the pipeline. When the user extends Channel*HandlerAdapter we can easily detect if can just skip the handler and invoke the next handler in the pipeline directly. This reduce the overhead of dispatch but also reduce the call-stack in many cases.
This backports https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8723 and https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8987 to 4.1
Modifications:
Detect if we can skip the handler when walking the pipeline.
Result:
Reduce overhead for long pipelines.

Motivation:
Deprecate ChannelOption.newInstance(...) as it is not used.
Modifications:
Deprecate ChannelOption.newInstance(...) as valueOf(...) should be used as a replacement.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8983.
Motivation:
0a0da67f43 introduced a testcase which is flacky. We need to fix it and enable it again.
Modifications:
Mark flaky test as ignore.
Result:
No flaky build anymore.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8826 added @Deprecated to the exceptionCaught(...) method but we missed to add @SupressWarnings(...) to it's sub-types. Beside this we can make the deprecated docs a bit more clear.
Modifications:
- Add @SupressWarnings("deprecated")
- Clarify docs.
Result:
Less warnings and more clear deprecated docs.
Motivation:
Systems depending on Netty may benefit (telemetry, alternative even loop scheduling algorithms) from knowing the number of channels assigned to each EventLoop.
Modification:
Expose the number of channels registered in the EventLoop via SingleThreadEventLoop.registeredChannels.
Result:
Fixes#8276.
Motivation:
It appears this was an oversight, maybe was valid at some point in the past. Noticed while reviewing #8958.
Modifications:
Change AbstractChannelHandlerContext to not extend DefaultAttributeMap.
Result:
Simpler hierarchy, eliminate unused attributes field from each context instance.
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:
`DefaultFileRegion.transferTo` will return 0 all the time when we request more data then the actual file size. This may result in a busy spin while processing the fileregion during writes.
Modifications:
- If we wrote 0 bytes check if the underlying file size is smaller then the requested count and if so throw an IOException
- Add DefaultFileRegionTest
- Add a test to the testsuite
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8868.
Motivation:
To make it easier to understand why a Channel was closed previously and so why the operation failed with a ClosedChannelException we should include the original Exception.
Modifications:
- Store the original exception that lead to the closed Channel and include it in the ClosedChannelException that is used to fail the operation.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8862.
Motivation:
41e03adf24 marked ChannelHandler.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated but missed to also mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated. We should do so as most people extend the base classes and not implement the interfaces directly.
Modifications:
Mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated as well.
Result:
Mark method as @deprecated to warn users about its removal.
