Motivation:
The current implementation not returns the real session as byte[] representation.
Modifications:
Create a proper Openssl.SSLSession.get() implementation which returns the real session as byte[].
Result:
More correct implementation
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to make use of the session cache when OpenSsl is used. This should be possible when server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionContext (implements SSLSessionContext) which exposes all the methods to modify the session cache.
- Add various extra methods to OpenSslSessionContext for extra functionality
- Return OpenSslSessionContext when OpenSslEngine.getSession().getContext() is called.
- Add sessionContext() to SslContext
- Move OpenSsl specific session operations to OpenSslSessionContext and mark the old methods @deprecated
Result:
It's now possible to use session cache with OpenSsl
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:

The *ViaArray* benchmarks are basically doing a toString().getBytes(Charset) which the others are using ByteBufUtil.write*(...).
Motivation:
ProxyHandlerTest fails with NoClassDefFoundError raised by
SslContext.newClientContext().
Modifications:
Fix a missing 'return' statement that makes the switch-case block fall
through unncecessarily
Result:
- ProxyHandlerTest does not fail anymore.
- SslContext.newClientContext() does not raise NoClassDefFoundError
anymore.
Motivation:
HEAD requests will have a Content-Length set that doesn't match the
actual length. So we only want to set Content-Length header if it isn't
already set.
Modifications:
If check around setting the Content-Length.
Result:
A HEAD request will no correctly return the specified Content-Length
instead of the body length.
Motivation:
At the moment we use SSL.getLastError() in unwrap(...) to check for error. This is very inefficient as it creates a new String for each check and we also use a String.startsWith(...) to detect if there was an error we need to handle.
Modifications:
Use SSL.getLastErrorNumber() to detect if we need to handle an error, as this only returns a long and so no String creation happens. Also the detection is much cheaper as we can now only compare longs. Once an error is detected the lately SSL.getErrorString(long) is used to conver the error number to a String and include it in log and exception message.
Result:
Performance improvements in OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) due less object allocation and also faster comparations.
Motivation:
As we now support OpenSslEngine for client side, we should use it when avaible.
Modifications:
Use SslProvider.OPENSSL when openssl can be found
Result:
OpenSslEngine is used whenever possible
Motivation:
When using client auth it is sometimes needed to use a custom TrustManagerFactory.
Modifications:
Allow to pass in TrustManagerFactory
Result:
It's now possible to use custom TrustManagerFactories for JdkSslServerContext and OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
To make OpenSsl*Context a drop in replacement for JdkSsl*Context we need to use TrustManager.
Modifications:
Correctly hook in the TrustManager
Result:
Better compatibility
Motivation:
At the moment there is no way to enable client authentication when using OpenSslEngine. This limits the uses of OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add support for different authentication modes.
Result:
OpenSslEngine can now also be used when client authenticiation is needed.
Motivation:
The current SSLSession implementation used by OpenSslEngine does not support various operations and so may not be a good replacement by the SSLEngine provided by the JDK implementation.
Modifications:
- Add SSLSession.getCreationTime()
- Add SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime()
- Add SSLSession.putValue(...), getValue(...), removeValue(...), getValueNames()
- Add correct SSLSession.getProtocol()
- Ensure OpenSSLEngine.getSession() is thread-safe
- Use optimized AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater when possible
Result:
More complete OpenSslEngine SSLSession implementation
Motivation:
We only support openssl for server side at the moment but it would be also useful for client side.
Modification:
* Upgrade to new netty-tcnative snapshot to support client side openssl support
* Add OpenSslClientContext which can be used to create SslEngine for client side usage
* Factor out common logic between OpenSslClientContext and OpenSslServerContent into new abstract base class called OpenSslContext
* Correctly detect handshake failures as soon as possible
* Guard against segfault caused by multiple calls to destroyPools(). This can happen if OpenSslContext throws an exception in the constructor and the finalize() method is called later during GC
Result:
openssl can be used for client and servers now.
Motivation:
SslHandler.wrap(...) does a poor job when handling CompositeByteBuf as it always call ByteBuf.nioBuffer() which will do a memory copy when a CompositeByteBuf is used that is backed by multiple ByteBuf.
Modifications:
- Use SslEngine.wrap(ByteBuffer[]...) to allow wrap CompositeByteBuf in an efficient manner
- Reduce object allocation in unwrapNonAppData(...)
Result:
Performance improvement when a CompositeByteBuf is written and the SslHandler is in the ChannelPipeline.
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:
Make CompositeByteBuf.nioBuffers(...) consistent with other ByteBuf implementations.
Result:
Consistent and correct behaviour of nioBufffers(...)
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.
Motivation:
When a remote peer did open a connection and only do the handshake without sending any data and then directly close the connection we did not call shutdown() in the OpenSslEngine. This leads to a native memory leak. Beside this it also was not fireed when a OpenSslEngine was created but never used.
Modifications:
- Make sure shutdown() is called in all cases when closeInbound() is called
- Call shutdown() also in the finalize() method to ensure we release native memory when the OpenSslEngine is GC'ed
Result:
No more memory leak when using OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
TrafficShapingHandlerTest uses Logback API directly, which is
discouraged. Also, it overrides the global default log level, which
silences the DEBUG messages from other tests.
Modifications:
Remove the direct use of Logback API
Result:
The tests executed after TrafficShapingHandlerTest logs their DEBUG
messages correctly.
Motivation:
ALPN version updates revealed an inconsistency visible by defaulting to npn when alpn was expected.
Modifications:
Default to ALPN.
Result:
Build and unit tests should pass.
Motivation:
There was a bug in the Java ALPN library we are using. A new version was released to fix this bug and we should update our pom.xml to use the new version.
Modifications:
Update pom.xml to use new ALPN library.
Result:
Newer versions of JDK (1.7_u71, 1.7_u72, 1.8_u25) have the bug fixed.
Motivation:
We need more information to understand why SocketSslEchoTest fails
sporadically in the CI machine.
Modifications:
- Refactor SocketSslEchoTest so that it is easier to retrieve the
information about renegotiation and the current progress
Result:
We will get more information when the test fails.
Motivation:
Tests sometimes time out because it took too long to compress the
generated heap dump.
Modifications:
- Move the compression logic to a new method 'compressHeapDumps()'
- Call TestUtils.compressHeapDumps() at the end of the tests, so that
the tests do not fail because of timeout
Result:
JUnit reports the real cause of the test failure instead of timeout
exception.
Motivation:
without this check then given a URI with path /path the resulting URL will be /path?null=
Modifications:
check that getRawQuery doesn't return null and only append if not
Result:
urls of the form /path will not have a null?= appended
Motivation:
So far, we generated and deployed test JARs to Maven repositories. The
deployed JAR had the classifier 'test-jar'. The test JAR is consumed by
transport-native-epoll as a test dependency.
The problem is, when netty-transport-native-epoll pulls the test JAR as
a dependency, that Maven resolves its transitive dependencies at
'compile' and 'runtime' scope only, which is incorrect.
I was bitten by this problem recently while trying to add a new
dependency to netty-testsuite. Because I added a new dependency at the
'test' scope, the new dependency was not pulled transitively by
transport-native-epoll and caused an unexpected build failure.
- d6160208c3
- bf77bb4c3a
Modifications:
- Move all classes in netty-testsuite from src/test to src/main
- Update the 'compile' scope dependencies of netty-testsuite
- Override the test directory configuration properties of the surefire
plugin
- Do not generate the test JAR anymore
- Update the dependency of netty-transport-native-epoll
Result:
It is less error-prone to add a new dependency to netty-testsuite.
Motivation:
It takes too long to download the heap dump from the CI server.
Modifications:
Compress the heap dump as much as possible.
Result:
When heap dump is generated by certain test failure, the generated heap
dump file is about 3 times smaller than before, although the compression
time will increase the build time when the test fails.
Motivation:
Fix a minor documentation bug in
ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete.
Modifications:
ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete no longer references an
incorrect method in its javadoc.
Results:
Documentation is correct.
Motivation:
Everytime a new connection is accepted via EpollSocketServerChannel it will create a new EpollSocketChannel that needs to get the remote and local addresses in the constructor. The current implementation uses new InetSocketAddress(String, int) to create these. This is quite slow due the implementation in oracle and openjdk.
Modifications:
Encode all needed informations into a byte array before return from jni layer and then use new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress, int) to create the socket addresses. This allows to create the InetAddress via a byte[] and so reduce the overhead, this is done either by using InetAddress.getByteAddress(byte[]) or by Inet6Address.getByteAddress(String, byte[], int).
Result:
Reduce performance overhead while accept new connections with native transport
Motivation:
So far, our TLS renegotiation test did not test changing cipher suite
during renegotiation explicitly.
Modifications:
- Switch the cipher suite during renegotiation
Result:
We are now sure the cipher suite change works.

e9685ea45a
Motivation:
SslHandler.unwrap() does not evaluate the handshake status of
SSLEngine.unwrap() when the status of SSLEngine.unwrap() is CLOSED.
It is not correct because the status does not reflect the state of the
handshake currently in progress, accoding to the API documentation of
SSLEngineResult.Status.
Also, sslCloseFuture can be notified earlier than handshake notification
because we call sslCloseFuture.trySuccess() before evaluating handshake
status.
Modifications:
- Notify sslCloseFuture after the unwrap loop is finished
- Add more assertions to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Potentially fix the regression caused by:
- e9685ea45a
Motivation:
We have a few sporadic test failures which are only easily reproduceable
in our CI machine. To get more information about the failure, we need
heap and full thread dump at the moment of failure.
Modifications:
- Add TestUtils.dump() method to dump heap and threads
- Modify SocketGatheringWriteTest and SocketSslEchoTest to call
TestUtils.dump() on failure
Result:
We get more information about the test failure.
Motivation:
We only provided a constructor in DefaultFileRegion that takes a FileChannel which means the File itself needs to get opened on construction. This has the problem that if you want to write a lot of Files very fast you may end up with may open FD's even if they are not needed yet. This can lead to hit the open FD limit of the OS.
Modifications:
Add a new constructor to DefaultFileRegion which allows to construct it from a File. The FileChannel will only be obtained when transferTo(...) is called or the DefaultFileRegion is explicit open'ed via open() (this is needed for the native epoll transport)
Result:
Less resource usage when writing a lot of DefaultFileRegion.
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.
Related: #3125
Motivation:
We did not expose a way to initiate TLS renegotiation and to get
notified when the renegotiation is done.
Modifications:
- Add SslHandler.renegotiate() so that a user can initiate TLS
renegotiation and get the future that's notified on completion
- Make SslHandler.handshakeFuture() return the future for the most
recent handshake so that a user can get the future of the last
renegotiation
- Add the test for renegotiation to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Both client-initiated and server-initiated renegotiations are now
supported properly.
Related: #2958
Motivation:
SslHandler currently does not issue a read() request when it is
handshaking. It makes a connection with autoRead off stall, because a
user's read() request can be used to read the handshake response which
is invisible to the user.
Modifications:
- SslHandler now issues a read() request when:
- the current handshake is in progress and channelReadComplete() is
invoked
- the current handshake is complete and a user issued a read() request
during handshake
- Rename flushedBeforeHandshakeDone to flushedBeforeHandshake for
consistency with the new variable 'readDuringHandshake'
Result:
SslHandler should work regardless whether autoRead is on or off.
Related: #3212
Motivation:
When SslHandler and ChunkedWriteHandler exists in a pipeline together,
it is possible that ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged()
invokes SslHandler.flush() and vice versa. Because they can feed each
other (i.e. ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged() ->
SslHandler.flush() -> ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged() ->
..), they can fall into an inconsistent state due to reentrance (e.g.
bad MAC record at the remote peer due to incorrect ordering.)
Modifications:
- Trigger channelWritabilityChanged() using EventLoop.execute() when
there's a chance where channelWritabilityChanged() can cause a
reentrance issue
- Fix test failures caused by the modification
Result:
Fix the handler reentrance issues related with a
channelWritabilityChanged() event
Related: #3219
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() does not call ctx.flush() when channel is
not writable. This can be a problem when other handler / non-Netty
thread writes messages simultaneously, because
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() might have no chance to observe
channel.isWritable() returns true and thus the channel is never flushed.
Modifications:
- Ensure that ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() calls ctx.flush() at least
once.
Result:
A stall connection issue, that occurs when certain combination of
handlers exist in a pipeline, has been fixed. (e.g. SslHandler and
ChunkedWriteHandler)
Motivations:
The chunkSize might be oversized after comparison (size being > of int
capacity) if file size is bigger than an integer.
Modifications:
Change it to long.
Result:
There is no more int oversized.
Same fix for 4.1 and Master
Related: #3212
Motivation:
PendingWriteQueue.recycle() updates its data structure after triggering
a channelWritabilityChanged() event. It causes a rare corruption such as
double free when channelWritabilityChanged() method accesses the
PendingWriteQueue.
Modifications:
Update the state of PendingWriteQueue before triggering an event.
Result:
Fix a rare double-free problem
Related: #3190
Motivation:
When an outbound handler method raises an exception, its promise is
marked as failed. If the promise is done already, the exception is
logged.
When the promise is void, exceptionCaught() must be triggered to notify
a user. However, AbstractChannelHandlerContext simply swallows it.
Modifications:
Do not swallow an exception when the promise is void.
Result:
A user who uses a void promise for an outbound operation will be
notified on failure.
Related: #3189
Motivation:
OIO transport implementations block for at most 1 second to wait for
additional messages (or accepted connections).
However, because AbstractOioMessageChannel defers the channelRead()
events for the messages read so far until there's nothing to read up to
maxMessagesPerRead, any read operation will be followed by a 1-second
delay.
Modifications:
Fire channelRead() events as soon as doRead() returns so that there is
no 1 second delay between the actual read and the channelRead() event.
Result:
No more weird 1-second delay
Related: #3166
Motivation:
When the recyclable object created at one thread is returned at the
other thread, it is stored in a WeakOrderedQueue.
The objects stored in the WeakOrderedQueue is added back to the stack by
WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() when the owner thread ran out of recyclable
objects.
However, WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() does not have any mechanism that
prevents the stack from growing beyond its maximum capacity.
Modifications:
- Make WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() increase the capacity of the stack
only up to its maximum
- Add tests for the cases where the recyclable object is returned at the
non-owner thread
- Fix a bug where Stack.scavengeSome() does not scavenge the objects
when it's the first time it ran out of objects and thus its cursor is
null.
- Overall clean-up of scavengeSome() and transfer()
Result:
The capacity of Stack never increases beyond its maximum.
Motivation:
io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.isRoot() depends on the IS_ROOT field which is filled in during class initialization. This spawns processes and consumes resources, which are not generally necessary to the complete functioning of that class.
Modifications:
This switches the class to use lazy initialization this field inside of the isRoot() method using double-checked locking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-checked_locking).
Result:
The first call to isRoot() will be slightly slower, at a tradeoff that class loading is faster, uses fewer resources and platform errors are avoided unless necessary.
Related: #3156
Motivation:
Let's say we have a channel with the following pipeline configuration:
HEAD --> [E1] H1 --> [E2] H2 --> TAIL
when the channel is deregistered, the channelUnregistered() methods of
H1 and H2 will be invoked from the executor thread of E1 and E2
respectively. To ensure that the channelUnregistered() methods are
invoked from the correct thread, new one-time tasks will be created
accordingly and be scheduled via Executor.execute(Runnable).
As soon as the one-time tasks are scheduled,
DefaultChannelPipeline.fireChannelUnregistered() will start to remove
all handlers from the pipeline via teardownAll(). This process is
performed in reversed order of event propagation. i.e. H2 is removed
first, and then H1 is removed.
If the channelUnregistered() event has been passed to H2 before H2 is
removed, a user does not see any problem.
If H2 has been removed before channelUnregistered() event is passed to
H2, a user will often see the following confusing warning message:
An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of
the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did
not handle the exception.
Modifications:
To ensure that the handlers are removed *after* all events are
propagated, traverse the pipeline in ascending order before performing
the actual removal.
Result:
A user does not get the confusing warning message anymore.
