4c287d4e27 Added SlicedAbstractByteBuf that can provide fast-path for _get* and _set* methods
Motivation:

SlicedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is sliced.

Modifications:

- Add SlicedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.

Result:

Faster SlicedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.

8c93f4b1ef Added DuplicatedAbstractByteBuf that can provide fast-path for _get* and _set* methods
Motivation:

DuplicatedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is duplicated.

Modifications:

- Add DuplicatedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.

Result:

2aef4a504f Minimize object allocation when calling AbstractByteBuf.toString(..., Charset)
Motivation:

Calling AbstractByteBuf.toString(..., Charset) is used quite frequently by users but produce a lot of GC.

Modification:

- Use a FastThreadLocal to store the CharBuffer that are needed for decoding.
- Use internalNioBuffer(...) when possible

Result:

Less object creation / Less GC

9697afc106 Allow to disable reference count checks on every access of the ByteBuf
Motiviation:

Checking reference count on every access on a ByteBuf can have some big performance overhead depending on how the access pattern is. If the user is sure that there are no reference count errors on his side it should be possible to disable the check and so gain the max performance.

Modification:

- Add io.netty.buffer.bytebuf.checkAccessible system property which allows to disable the checks. Enabled by default.
- Add microbenchmark

Result:

Increased performance for operations on the ByteBuf.

ffe7aafd82 Optimize and minimize bound checks
Motivation:

We should minimize and optimize bound checks as much as possible to get the most out of performance.

Modifications:

- Use bitwise operations to remove branching
- Remove branches when possible

Result:

Better performance for various operations.

30dc1c1fa4 [#4313] ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 should use fast-path for WrappedByteBuf
Motivation:

ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) / writeUsAscii(...) can use a fast-path when writing into AbstractByteBuf. We should try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf implementations so
we are able to do the same on wrapped AbstractByteBuf instances.

Modifications:

- Try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf to use the fast-path

Result:

Faster writing of utf8 and usascii for WrappedByteBuf instances.

99b11c95b4 [#4327] Ensure toString() will not throw IllegalReferenceCountException
Motivation:

As toString() is often used while logging we need to ensure this produces no exception.

Modifications:

Ensure we never throw an IllegalReferenceCountException.

Result:

Be able to log without produce exceptions.

81a913ced1 ByteBufUtilTest bug
Motivation:
The logic in ByteBufUtilTest.ByteBufUtilTest is wrong. It is attempting to ensure at least 1 byte is different in the ranges that will be subsequently compared, but does so before the copy operation.

Modifications:
- Move the code which ensures there is a difference to after the copy
- Simplify the logic which ensures there is a difference

Result:
Unit test now operates as designed.

67ddb61eca ByteBufUtilTest test failure
Motivation:
ByteBufUtilTest.notEqualsBufferSubsections is testing non-equality but just uses random numbers to assume they will not be equal. Even after the random bytes are generated we should check they are infact not equal so the test has no chance of failing when it should not.

Modifications:
- Loop through bytes in notEqualsBufferSubsections after they are randomly generated to ensure there is atleast 1 difference.

Result:
More reliable unit tests.

956a757d37 [#3789] Correctly reset markers for all allocations when using PooledByteBufAllocator
Motivation:

We need to ensure all markers are reset when doing an allocation via the PooledByteBufAllocator. This was not the always the case.

Modifications:

Move all logic that needs to get executed when reuse a PooledByteBuf into one place and call it.

Result:

Correct behavior

Result:

Faster writing of AsciiString.

7a9a3159f9 Added debug logging with effective value for io.netty.leakDetection.acquireAndReleaseOnly property
Motivation:

9b45e9d015 Additional configuration for leak detection
Motivation:

Leak detector, when it detects a leak, will print the last 5 stack
traces that touched the ByteBuf. In some cases that might not be enough
to identify the root cause of the leak.
Also, sometimes users might not be interested in tracing all the
operations on the buffer, but just the ones that are affecting the
reference count.

Modifications:

Added command line properties to override default values:
 * Allow to configure max number of stack traces to collect
 * Allow to only record retain/release operation on buffers

Result:
Users can increase the number of stack traces to debug buffer leaks
with lot of retain/release operations.

4bdd8dacb9 Restore derived buffer index/mark updates
Motivation:
As part of the revert process in https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4138 some index and mark updates were lost.

Modifications:
- Restore the index / mark updates made in https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3788

Result:
Slice and Duplicate buffers index / marks are correctly initialized.

e280251b15 Revert "Add PooledSlicedByteBuf and PooledDuplicatedByteBuf"
Motivation:
Currently the "derived" buffer will only ever be recycled if the release call is made on the "derived" object, and the "wrapped" buffer ends up being "fully released" (aka refcount goes to 0). From my experience this is not the common use case and thus the "derived" buffers will not be recycled.

Modifications:
- revert https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3788

Result:
Less complexity, and less code to create new objects in majority of cases.

0be53f296f MemoryRegionCache$Entry objects are not recycled
Motivation:

Even though MemoryRegionCache$Entry instances are allocated through a recycler they are not properly recycled,
leaving a lot of instances to be GCed along with Recycler$DefaultHandle objects.
Fixes #4071

Modification:

Recycle Entry when done using it.

Result:

Less GCed objects.

cf171ff525 maxBytesPerRead channel configuration
Motiviation:
The current read loops don't fascilitate reading a maximum amount of bytes. This capability is useful to have more fine grain control over how much data is injested.

Modifications:
- Add a setMaxBytesPerRead(int) and getMaxBytesPerRead() to ChannelConfig
- Add a setMaxBytesPerIndividualRead(int) and getMaxBytesPerIndividualRead to ChannelConfig
- Add methods to RecvByteBufAllocator so that a pluggable scheme can be used to control the behavior of the read loop.
- Modify read loop for all transport types to respect the new RecvByteBufAllocator API

Result:
The ability to control how many bytes are read for each read operation/loop, and a more extensible read loop.

ae163d687d [#3896] Unpooled.copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer) and copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer...) is not thread-safe.
Motivation:

As we modify the position of the passed in ByteBuffer's this methods are not thread-safe.

Modifications:

Duplicate the input ByteBuffers before copy the content to  byte[].

Result:

Unpooled.copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer) and copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer...) is now thread-safe.

ba6319eb6c Fix FixedCompositeByteBuf handling when copying to direct buffers and streams
Motivation:

FixedCompositeByteBuf does not properly implement a number of methods for
copying its content to direct buffers and output streams

Modifications:

e0ef01cf93 [#3888] Use 2 * cores as default minimum for pool arenas.
Motivation:

At the moment we use 1 * cores as default mimimum for pool arenas. This can easily lead to conditions as we use 2 * cores as default for EventLoop's when using NIO or EPOLL. If we choose a smaller number we will run into hotspots as allocation and deallocation needs to be synchronized on the PoolArena.

Modifications:

Change the default number of arenas to 2 * cores.

Result:

Less conditions when using the default settings.

81fee66c78 Let PoolThreadCache work even if allocation and deallocation Thread are different
Motivation:

PoolThreadCache did only cache allocations if the allocation and deallocation Thread were the same. This is not optimal as often people write from differen thread then the actual EventLoop thread.

Modification:

- Add MpscArrayQueue which was forked from jctools and lightly modified.
- Use MpscArrayQueue for caches and always add buffer back to the cache that belongs to the allocation thread.

Result:

ThreadPoolCache is now also usable and so gives performance improvements when allocation and deallocation thread are different.

Performance when using same thread for allocation and deallocation is noticable worse then before.

ab1bb9136b [#3654] Synchronize on PoolSubpage head when allocate / free PoolSubpages
Motivation:

Currently we hold a lock on the PoolArena when we allocate / free PoolSubpages, which is wasteful as this also affects "normal" allocations. The same is true vice-verse.

Modifications:

Ensure we synchronize on the head of the PoolSubPages pool. This is done per size and so it is possible to concurrently allocate / deallocate PoolSubPages with different sizes, and also normal allocations.

Result:

Less condition and so faster allocation/deallocation.

271af7c624 Expose metrics for PooledByteBufAllocator
Motivation:

The PooledByteBufAllocator is more or less a black-box atm. We need to expose some metrics to allow the user to get a better idea how to tune it.

Modifications:

- Expose different metrics via PooledByteBufAllocator
- Add *Metrics interfaces

Result:

It is now easy to gather metrics and detail about the PooledByteBufAllocator and so get a better understanding about resource-usage etc.

92bfeeca1b No need to release lock and acquire again when allocate normal size.
Motiviation:

When tried to allocate tiny and small sized and failed to serve these out of the PoolSubPage we exit the synchronization
block just to enter it again when call allocateNormal(...).

Modification:

Not exit the synchronized block until allocateNormal(...) is done.

Result:

Better performance.

79c17cf1fd ByteBufUtil use IndexOfProcessor to find occurrence.
Motivation:

f812180c2d ByteString arrayOffset method
Motivation:
The ByteString class currently assumes the underlying array will be a complete representation of data. This is limiting as it does not allow a subsection of another array to be used. The forces copy operations to take place to compensate for the lack of API support.

Modifications:
- add arrayOffset method to ByteString
- modify all ByteString and AsciiString methods that loop over or index into the underlying array to use this offset
- update all code that uses ByteString.array to ensure it accounts for the offset
- add unit tests to test the implementation respects the offset

Result:
ByteString and AsciiString can represent a sub region of a byte[].

8b1f247a1a [#3623] CompositeByteBuf.iterator() should return optimized Iterable
Motivation:

- Use special Iterator implementation

Result:

Less overhead when calling iterator()

9a7a85dbe5 ByteString introduced as AsciiString super class
Motivation:
The usage and code within AsciiString has exceeded the original design scope for this class. Its usage as a binary string is confusing and on the verge of violating interface assumptions in some spots.

Modifications:
- ByteString will be created as a base class to AsciiString. All of the generic byte handling processing will live in ByteString and all the special character encoding will live in AsciiString.

Results:
The AsciiString interface will be clarified. Users of AsciiString can now be clear of the limitations the class imposes while users of the ByteString class don't have to live with those limitations.

4d02c3a040 [#2925] Bug fix for NormalMemoryRegionCache overbooked for PoolThreadCache
Motivation:

When create NormalMemoryRegionCache for PoolThreadCache, we overbooked
cache array size. This means unnecessary overhead for thread local cache
as we will create multi cache enties for each element in cache array.

Modifications:

change:
int arraySize = Math.max(1, max / area.pageSize);
to:
int arraySize = Math.max(1, log2(max / area.pageSize) + 1);

Result:

Now arraySize won't introduce unnecessary overhead.

7094c7b797 Dereference when calling PooledByteBuf.deallocate()
Motivation:

We missed to dereference the chunk and tmpNioBuf when calling deallocate(). This means the GC can not collect these as we still hold a reference while have the PooledByteBuf in the recycler stack.

Modifications:

Dereference chunk and tmpNioBuf.

Result:

GC can collect things.

3e42292d8b Change PoolThreadCache to use LIFO for better cache performance
Motiviation:

At the moment we use FIFO for the PoolThreadCache which is sub-optimal as this may reduce the changes to have the cached memory actual still in the cpu-cache.

Modification:

- Change to use LIFO as this increase the chance to be able to serve buffers from the cpu-cache

Results:

Faster allocation out of the ThreadLocal cache.

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

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

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

41fd857a7c Ensure CompositeByteBuf.addComponent* handles buffer in consistent way and not causes leaks
Motivation:

At the moment we have two problems:
 - CompositeByteBuf.addComponent(...) will not add the supplied buffer to the CompositeByteBuf if its empty, which means it will not be released on CompositeByteBuf.release() call. This is a problem as a user will expect everything added will be released (the user not know we not added it).
 - CompositeByteBuf.addComponents(...) will either add no buffers if none is readable and so has the same problem as addComponent(...) or directly release the ByteBuf if at least one ByteBuf is readable. Again this gives inconsistent handling and may lead to memory leaks.

Modifications:

 - Always add the buffer to the CompositeByteBuf and so release it on release call.

Result:

Consistent handling and no buffer leaks.

155c0e2f36 Implement internal memory access methods of CompositeByteBuf correctly
Motivation:

When a CompositeByteBuf is empty (i.e. has no component), its internal
memory access operations do not always behave as expected.

Modifications:

Check if the nunmber of components is zero. If so, return an empty
array or an empty NIO buffer, etc.

fe796fc8ab Provide helper methods in ByteBufUtil to write UTF-8/ASCII CharSequences. Related to [#909]
Motivation:

We expose no methods in ByteBuf to directly write a CharSequence into it. This leads to have the user either convert the CharSequence first to a byte array or use CharsetEncoder. Both cases have some overheads and we can do a lot better for well known Charsets like UTF-8 and ASCII.

Modifications:

Add ByteBufUtil.writeAscii(...) and ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) which can do the task in an optimized way. This is especially true if the passed in ByteBuf extends AbstractByteBuf which is true for all of our implementations which not wrap another ByteBuf.

Result:

Writing an ASCII and UTF-8 CharSequence into a AbstractByteBuf is a lot faster then what the user could do by himself as we can make use of some package private methods and so eliminate reference and range checks. When the Charseq is not ASCII or UTF-8 we can still do a very good job and are on par in most of the cases with what the user would do.

The following benchmark shows the improvements:

66294892a0 CompositeByteBuf.nioBuffers(...) must not return an empty ByteBuffer array
Motivation:

CompositeByteBuf.nioBuffers(...) returns an empty ByteBuffer array if the specified length is 0. This is not consistent with other ByteBuf implementations which return an ByteBuffer array of size 1 with an empty ByteBuffer included.

Modifications:

a69a39c849 Always return SliceByteBuf on slice(...) to eliminate possible leak
Motivation:

When calling slice(...) on a ByteBuf the returned ByteBuf should be the slice of a ByteBuf and shares it's reference count. This is important as it is perfect legal to use buf.slice(...).release() and have both, the slice and the original ByteBuf released. At the moment this is only the case if the requested slice size is > 0. This makes the behavior inconsistent and so may lead to a memory leak.

Modifications:

- Never return Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER when calling slice(...).
- Adding test case for buffer.slice(...).release() and buffer.duplicate(...).release()

Result:

Consistent behaviour and so no more leaks possible.

182c91f06c Ensure buffer is not released when call array() / memoryAddress()
Motivation:

Before we missed to check if a buffer was released before we return the backing byte array or memoryaddress. This could lead to JVM crashes when someone tried various bulk operations on the Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.

Modifications:

Always check if the buffer is released before all to return the byte array and memoryaddress.

Result:

No more JVM crashes because of released buffers when doing bulk operations on Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.

35db3c6710 Small performance improvements
Motivation:

Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.

Modifications:

- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.

Result:

Performance improvements.

48f1398869 Disable caching of PooledByteBuf for different threads.
Motivation:

We introduced a PoolThreadCache which is used in our PooledByteBufAllocator to reduce the synchronization overhead on PoolArenas when allocate / deallocate PooledByteBuf instances. This cache is used for both the allocation path and deallocation path by:
  - Look for cached memory in the PoolThreadCache for the Thread that tries to allocate a new PooledByteBuf and if one is found return it.
  - Add the memory that is used by a PooledByteBuf to the PoolThreadCache of the Thread that release the PooledByteBuf

This works out very well when all allocation / deallocation is done in the EventLoop as the EventLoop will be used for read and write. On the otherside this can lead to surprising side-effects if the user allocate from outside the EventLoop and and pass the ByteBuf over for writing. The problem here is that the memory will be added to the PoolThreadCache that did the actual write on the underlying transport and not on the Thread that previously allocated the buffer.

Modifications:

Don't cache if different Threads are used for allocating/deallocating

Result:

Less confusing behavior for users that allocate PooledByteBufs from outside the EventLoop.

858de5699b [#2924] Correctly update head in MemoryRegionCache.trim()
Motivation:
When MemoryRegionCache.trim() is called, some unused cache entries will be freed (started from head). However, in MeoryRegionCache.trim() the head is not updated, which make entry list's head point to an entry whose chunk is null now and following allocate of MeoryRegionCache will return false immediately.

In other word, cache is no longer usable once trim happen.

Modifications:

Update head to correct idx after free entries in trim().

Result:

MemoryRegionCache behaves correctly even after calling trim().

0dc6a8dccf Use heap buffers for Unpooled.copiedBuffer()
Related issue: #2028

Motivation:

Some copiedBuffer() methods in Unpooled allocated a direct buffer.  An
allocation of a direct buffer is an expensive operation, and thus should
be avoided for unpooled buffers.

Modifications:

- Use heap buffers in all copiedBuffer() methods

Result:

Unpooled.copiedBuffers() are less expensive now.

fbf1bdbef1 Fix the build timeout when 'leak' profile is active
Motivation:

AbstractByteBufTest.testInternalBuffer() uses writeByte() operations to
populate the sample data.  Usually, this isn't a problem, but it starts
to take a lot of time when the resource leak detection level gets
higher.

In our CI machine, testInternalBuffer() takes more than 30 minutes,
causing the build timeout when the 'leak' profile is active (paranoid
level resource detection.)

Modification:

Populate the sample data using ThreadLocalRandom.nextBytes() instead of
using millions of writeByte() operations.

Result:

Test runs much faster when leak detection level is high.

9594a81b95 [#2622] Correctly check reference count before try to work on the underlying memory
Motivation:

Because of how we use reference counting we need to check for the reference count before each operation that touches the underlying memory. This is especially true as we use sun.misc.Cleaner.clean() to release the memory ASAP when possible. Because of this the user may cause a SEGFAULT if an operation is called that tries to access the backing memory after it was released.

Modification:

Correctly check the reference count on all methods that access the underlying memory or expose it via a ByteBuffer.

Motivation:

MessageToByteEncoder always starts with ByteBuf that use initalCapacity == 0 when preferDirect is used. This is really wasteful in terms of performance as every first write into the buffer will cause an expand of the buffer itself.

Modifications:

 - Change ByteBufAllocator.ioBuffer() use the same default initialCapacity as heapBuffer() and directBuffer()
 - Add new allocateBuffer method to MessageToByteEncoder that allow the user to do some smarter allocation based on the message that will be encoded.

371f8066d2 [#2580] [#2587] Fix buffer corruption regression when ByteBuf.order(LITTLE_ENDIAN) is used
Motivation:

To improve the speed of ByteBuf with order LITTLE_ENDIAN and where the native order is also LITTLE_ENDIAN (intel) we introduces a new special SwappedByteBuf before in commit 4ad3984c8b. Unfortunally the commit has a flaw which does not handle correctly the case when a ByteBuf expands. This was caused because the memoryAddress was cached and never changed again even if the underlying buffer expanded. This can lead to corrupt data or even to SEGFAULT the JVM if you are lucky enough.

Modification:

Always lookup the actual memoryAddress of the wrapped ByteBuf.

Result:

No more data-corruption for ByteBuf with order LITTLE_ENDIAN and no JVM crashes.

085a61a310 Refactor FastThreadLocal to simplify TLV management
Motivation:

When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.

FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.

Modifications:

- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
  package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
  initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
  thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
  thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
  thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
  tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
  by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9

Result:

- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
  he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
  way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
  we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
  instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
  performance of FastThreadLocal even more.

ad86ec798d Move calculateNewCapacity(...) to ByteBufAllocator
Motivation:

Currently we have the algorithm of calculate the new capacity of a ByteBuf implemented in AbstractByteBuf. The problem with this is that it is impossible for a user to change it if it not fits well it's use-case. We should better move it to ByteBufAllocator and so let the user implement it's own by either write his/her own ByteBufAllocator or just override the default implementation in one of our provided ByteBufAllocators.

Modifications:

Move calculateNewCapacity(...) to ByteBufAllocator and move the implementation (which was part of AbstractByteBuf) to AbstractByteBufAllocator.

Result:

The user can now override the default calculation algorithm when needed.

Motivation:

- Also eliminate unecessary check in UnpooledDirectByteBuf which always fails anyway

61dbc353ca [#2436] Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation should only invert bytes if ByteOrder differ from native ByteOrder
Motivation:
Our Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation always invert bytes when the native ByteOrder is LITTLE_ENDIAN (this is true on intel), even when the user calls order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN). This is not optimal for performance reasons as the user should be able to set the ByteOrder to LITTLE_ENDIAN and so write bytes without the extra inverting.

Modification:
- Introduce a new special SwappedByteBuf (called UnsafeDirectSwappedByteBuf) that is used by all the Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation and allows to write without inverting the bytes.
- Add benchmark
- Upgrade jmh to 0.8

Result:
The user is be able to get the max performance even on servers that have ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN as their native ByteOrder.

e79ca269b8 Introduce ThreadDeathWatcher
Motivation:

PooledByteBufAllocator's thread local cache and
ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater() are in need of a way to run an
arbitrary logic when a certain thread is terminated.

Modifications:

- Add ThreadDeathWatcher, which spawns a low-priority daemon thread
  that watches a list of threads periodically (every second) and
  invokes the specified tasks when the associated threads are not alive
  anymore
  - Start-stop logic based on CAS operation proposed by @tea-dragon
- Add debug-level log messages to see if ThreadDeathWatcher works

Result:

- Fixes #2519 because we don't use GlobalEventExecutor anymore
- Cleaner code

ea3dac0753 Do not use a pseudo random for tree traversal
Motivation:

If we make allocateRun/SubpageSimple() always try the left node first and make allocateRun/Subpage() always tries the right node first,  it is more likely that allocateRun/Subpage() will find a node with ST_UNUSED sooner.

Modifications:

- Make allocateRunSimple() and allocateSubpageSimple() always try the left node first.
- Make allocateRun() and allocateSubpage() always try the right node first.
- Remove randome

Result:

We get the same performance without using random numbers.

e5ed69241b Optimize PooledByteBufAllocator
Motivation:

We still have a room for improvement in PoolChunk.allocateRun() and
Subpage.allocate().

Modifications:

- Unroll the recursion in PoolChunk.allocateRun()
- Subpage.allocate() makes use of the 'nextAvail' value set by previous
  free().

Result:

- PoolChunk.allocateRun() optimization yields 10%+ improvements in
  allocation throughput for non-subpage allocations.
- Subpage.allocate() optimization makes the subpage allocations for
  tiny buffers as fast as non-tiny buffers even when the pageSize is
  huge (e.g. 1048576) because it doesn't need to perform a linear search
  in most cases.

15d11289b0 Fix error that causes (up to) double memory usage
Motivation:

PoolArena's 'normalizeCapacity' function was micro-optimized some
time ago to remove a while loop. However, there was a change of
behavior in the function as a result. Capacities passed into it
that are already powers of 2 (and >= 512) are doubled in size. So
if I ask for a buffer with a capacity of 1024, I will get back one
that actually uses 2048 bytes (stored in maxLength).

Aligning to powers of two for book keeping ease is reasonable,
and if someone tries to expand a buffer, you might as well use some
of the previously wasted space. However, since this distinction
between 'easily expanded' and 'costly to expand' space is not
supported at all by the APIs, I cannot imagine this change to
doubling is desirable or intentional.

This is especially costly when using composite buffers. They
frequently allocate components with a capacity that is a power of
2, and they never attempt to expand components themselves. The end
result is that heavy use of pool-backed composite buffers wastes
almost half of the memory pool (the smaller / initial components are
<512 and so are not affected by the off-by-one bug).

Modifications:

Although I find it difficult to believe that such an optimization
is really helpful, I left it in and fixed the off-by-one issue by
decrementing the value at the start.

I also added a simple test to both attempt to verify that the
decrement fixes the issue without introducing any other change, and
to make it easy for a reviewer to test the existing behavior. PoolArena
does not seem to have much testing or testability support though so
the test is kind of a hack and will break for unrelated changes. I
suggest either removing it or factoring out the single non-static
portion of normalizeCapacity so that the fragile dummy PoolArena is
not required.

Result:

Pooled allocators will allocate less resources to the highly
inefficient and undocumented buffer section between length and
maxLength.

Composite buffers of non-trivial size that are backed by pooled
allocators will use about half as much memory.

ceffa82d0d [#2370] Periodically check for not alive Threads and free up their ThreadPoolCache
Motivation:
At the moment we create new ThreadPoolCache whenever a Thread tries either allocate or release something on the PooledByteBufAllocator. When something is released we put it then in its ThreadPoolCache. The problem is we never check if a Thread is not alive anymore and so we may end up with memory that is never freed again if a user create many short living Threads that use the PooledByteBufAllocator.

Modifications:
Periodically check if the Thread is still alive that has a ThreadPoolCache assinged and if not free it.

Result:
Memory is freed up correctly even for short living Threads.

8429ecfcc4 Implement Thread caches for pooled buffers to minimize conditions. This fixes [#2264] and [#808].
Motivation:
Remove the synchronization bottleneck in PoolArena and so speed up things

Modifications:

This implementation uses kind of the same technics as outlined in the jemalloc paper and jemalloc
blogpost https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/scalable-memory-allocation-using-jemalloc/480222803919.

At the moment we only cache for "known" Threads (that powers EventExecutors) and not for others to keep the overhead
minimal when need to free up unused buffers in the cache and free up cached buffers once the Thread completes. Here
we use multi-level caches for tiny, small and normal allocations. Huge allocations are not cached at all to keep the
memory usage at a sane level. All the different cache configurations can be adjusted via system properties or the constructor
directly where it makes sense.

Result:
Less conditions as most allocations can be served by the cache itself

19422972e3 Fix and simplify freeing a direct buffer / Fix Android support
Motivation:

6e8ba291cf introduced a regression in Android because Android does not have sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer (see #2330.)  I also found PlatformDependent0.freeDirectBuffer() and freeDirectBufferUnsafe() are pretty much same after the commit and the unsafe version should be removed.

Modifications:

- Do not use the pooled allocator in Android because it's too resource hungry for Androids.
- Merge PlatformDependent0.freeDirectBuffer() and freeDirectBufferUnsafe() into one method.
- Make the Unsafe unavailable when sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer is unavailable.  We could keep the Unsafe available and handle the sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer case separately, but I don't want to complicate our code just because of that.  All supported JDK versions have sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer if the Unsafe is available.

Result:

Simpler code. Fixes Android support (#2330)

1334d34e9d Fix limit computation of NIO ByteBuffers obtained via ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf.nioBuffer
Motivation:

When starting with a read-only NIO buffer, wrapping it in a ByteBuf,
and then later retrieving a re-wrapped NIO buffer the limit was getting
too short.

Modifications:

Changed ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf.nioBuffer(int,int) to compute the
limit in the same manner as the internalNioBuffer method.

Result:

Round-trip conversion from NIO to ByteBuf to NIO will work reliably.

65b522a2a7 Better buffer leak reporting
- Remove the reference to ResourceLeak from the buffer implementations
  and use wrappers instead:
  - SimpleLeakAwareByteBuf and AdvancedLeakAwareByteBuf
  - It is now allocator's responsibility to create a leak-aware buffer.
  - Added AbstractByteBufAllocator.toLeakAwareBuffer() for easier

- Add WrappedByteBuf to reduce duplication between *LeakAwareByteBuf and
  UnreleasableByteBuf
- Raise the level of leak reports to ERROR - because it will break the
  app eventually
- Replace enabled/disabled property with the leak detection level
  - Only print stack trace when level is ADVANCED or above to avoid user
    confusion
- Add the 'leak' build profile, which enables highly detailed leak
  reporting during the build
- Remove ResourceLeakException which is unsed anymore
