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().
Motivation:
handlerAdded and handlerRemoved were overriden but super was never
called, while it should.
Also add one missing information in the toString method.
Modifications:
Add the super corresponding call, and add checkInterval to the
toString() method
Result;
super method calls are correctly passed to the super implementation
part.
Motivation:
A discovered typo in LzmaFrameEncoder constructor when we check `lc + lp` for better compatibility.
Modifications:
Changed `lc + pb` to `lc + lp`.
Result:
Correct check of `lc + lp` value.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to be able to access the uri that was used to initialize the QueryStringDecoder.
Modifications:
Add method which allows to retrieve the uri.
Result:
Allow to retrieve the uri that was used to create the QueryStringDecoder.
Motivation:
When constructing a FingerprintTrustManagerFactory from an Iterable of Strings, the fingerprints were correctly parsed but never added to the result array. The constructed FingerprintTrustManagerFactory consequently fails to validate any certificate.
Modifications:
I added a line to add each converted SHA-1 certificate fingerprint to the result array which then gets passed on to the next constructor.
Result:
Certificate fingerprints passed to the constructor are now correctly added to the array of valid fingerprints. The resulting FingerprintTrustManagerFactory object correctly validates certificates against the list of specified fingerprints.
Motiviation:
If sendmmsg is already defined then the native epoll module failed to build because of conflicting definitions.
The mmsghdr type was also redefined on systems that already supported this structure.
Modifications:
Provide a way so that systems which already define sendmmsg and mmsghdr can build
Provide a way so that systems which don't define sendmmsg and mmsghdr can build
Result:
The native EPOLL module can build in more environments
Motivation:
LZMA compression algorithm has a very good compression ratio.
Modifications:
- Added `lzma-java` library which implements LZMA algorithm.
- Implemented LzmaFrameEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the LzmaFrameEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
Result:
LZMA encoder which can compress data using LZMA algorithm.
Motivation:
ExtensionRegistry is a subclass of ExtensionRegistryLite. The ProtobufDecoder
doesn't use the registry directly, it simply passes it through to the Protobuf
API. The Protobuf calls in question are themselves written in terms
ExtensionRegistryLite not ExtensionRegistry.
Modifications:
Require ExtensionRegistryLite instead of ExtensionRegistry in ProtobufDecoder.
Result:
Consumers can use ExtensionRegistryLite with ProtobufDecoder.
Motiviation:
The HTTP content decoder's cleanup method is not cleaning up the decoder correctly.
The cleanup method is currently doing a readOutbound on the EmbeddedChannel but
for decoding the call should be readInbound.
Modifications:
-Change readOutbound to readInbound in the cleanup method
Result:
The cleanup method should be correctly releaseing unused resources
Motivation:
In linux it is possible to write more then one buffer withone syscall when sending datagram messages.
Modifications:
Not copy CompositeByteBuf if it only contains direct buffers.
Result:
More performance due less overhead for copy.
Motivation:
Due incorrect usage of CompositeByteBuf a buffer leak was introduced.
Modifications:
Correctly handle tests with CompositeByteBuf.
Result:
No more buffer leaks
Motivation:
On linux with glibc >= 2.14 it is possible to send multiple DatagramPackets with one syscall. This can be a huge performance win and so we should support it in our native transport.
Modification:
- Add support for sendmmsg by reuse IovArray
- Factor out ThreadLocal support of IovArray to IovArrayThreadLocal for better separation as we use IovArray also without ThreadLocal in NativeDatagramPacketArray now
- Introduce NativeDatagramPacketArray which is used for sendmmsg(...)
- Implement sendmmsg(...) via jni
- Expand DatagramUnicastTest to test also sendmmsg(...)
Result:
Netty now automatically use sendmmsg(...) if it is supported and we have more then 1 DatagramPacket in the ChannelOutboundBuffer and flush() is called.
Motivation:
On linux it is possible to use the sendMsg(...) system call to write multiple buffers with one system call when using datagram/udp.
Modifications:
- Implement the needed changes and make use of sendMsg(...) if possible for max performance
- Add tests that test sending datagram packets with all kind of different ByteBuf implementations.
Result:
Performance improvement when using CompoisteByteBuf and EpollDatagramChannel.
Motivation:
InetAddress.getByName(...) uses exceptions for control flow when try to parse IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses. This is quite expensive.
Modifications:
Detect IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses in the JNI level and convert to IPv4 addresses before pass to InetAddress.getByName(...) (via InetSocketAddress constructor).
Result:
Eliminate performance problem causes by exception creation when parsing IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses.
Motivation:
We received a bug-report that the ByteBuf.refCnt() does sometimes not show the correct value when release() and refCnt() is called from different Threads.
Modifications:
Add test-case which shows that all is working like expected
Result:
Test-case added which shows everything is ok.
Motivation:
This fixes bug #2848 which caused Recycler to become unbounded and cache infinite number of objects with maxCapacity that's not a power of two. This can result in general sluggishness of the application and OutOfMemoryError.
Modifications:
The test for maxCapacity has been moved out of test to check if the buffer has filled. The buffer is now also capped at maxCapacity and cannot grow over it as it jumps from one power of two to the other.
Additionally, a unit test was added to verify maxCapacity is honored even when it's not a power of two.
Result:
With these changes the user is able to use a custom maxCapacity number and not have it ignored. The unit test assures this bug will not repeat itself.
Motivation:
In EpollSocketchannel.doWriteFileRegion(...) we need to make sure we write until sendFile(...) returns either 0 or all is written. Otherwise we may not get notified once the Channel is writable again.
This is the case as we use EPOLL_ET.
Modifications:
Always write until either sendFile returns 0 or all is written.
Result:
No more hangs when writing DefaultFileRegion can happen.
Related issue: #2821
Motivation:
There's no way for a user to change the default ZlibEncoder
implementation.
It is already possible to change the default ZlibDecoder implementation.
Modification:
Add a new system property 'io.netty.noJdkZlibEncoder'.
Result:
A user can disable JDK ZlibEncoder, just like he or she can disable JDK
ZlibDecoder.
Motivation:
We have some duplicated code that can be reused.
Modifications:
Create package private class called CodecUtil that now contains the shared code / helper method.
Result:
Less code-duplication
Motivation:
ByteToMessageCodec miss to check for @Sharable annotation in one of its constructors.
Modifications:
Ensure we call checkForSharableAnnotation in all constructors.
Result:
After your change, what will change.
Motivation:
Currently we do more memory copies then needed.
Modification:
- Directly use heap buffers to reduce memory copy
- Correctly release buffers to fix buffer leak
Result:
Less memory copies and no leaks
Motivation:
There were no way to efficient write a CompositeByteBuf as we always did a memory copy to a direct buffer in this case. This is not needed as we can just write a CompositeByteBuf as long as all the components are buffers with a memory address.
Modifications:
- Write CompositeByteBuf which contains only direct buffers without memory copy
- Also handle CompositeByteBuf that have more components then 1024.
Result:
More efficient writing of CompositeByteBuf.
Motivation:
There is not need todo redunant reads of head in peakNode as we can just spin on next() until it becomes visible.
Modifications:
Remove redundant reads of head in peakNode. This is based on @nitsanw's patch for akka.
See https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/15596
Result:
Less volatile access.
Motivation:
We used the wrong EventExecutor to notify for bind failures if a late registration was done.
Modifications:
Use the correct EventExecutor to notify and only use the GlobelEventExecutor if the registration fails itself.
Result:
The correct Thread will do the notification.
Motivation:
The unit tests in codec-socks contained redundant casts and empty test classes.
Modifications:
- Remove redundant casts
- Delete empty test classes
Result:
Cleanup
Motivation:
The example mis handle two elements:
1) Last message is a LastHttpContent and is not taken into account by
the server handler
2) The client makes a sync on last write (chunked) but there is no flush
before, therefore the sync is waiting forever.
Modifications:
1) Take into account the message LastHttpContent in simple Get.
2) Removes sync but add flush for each post and multipost parts
Results:
Example is no more blocked after get test.
Should be done also in 4.0 and Master (similar changes)
Motivation:
Recently we changed the default value of SOMAXCONN that is used when we can not determine it by reading /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn. While doing this we missed to update the javadocs to reflect the new default value that is used.
Modifications:
List correct default value in the javadocs of SOMAXCONN.
Result:
Correct javadocs.
Motivation:
In GitHub issue #2767 a bug was reported that the IPv4
default route leads to the ipfilter package denying
instead of accepting all addresses.
While the issue was reported for Netty 3.9, this bug
also applies to Netty 4 and higher.
Modifications:
When computing the subnet address from the CIDR prefix,
correctly handle the case where the prefix is set to zero.
Result:
Ipfilter accepts all addresses when passed the
IPv4 default route.
Motivation:
The test procedure is unstable when testing quick time (factor less or equal to 1). Changing to default 10ms in this case will force time to be correct and time to be checked only when factor is >= 2.
Modifications:
When factor is <= 1, minimalWaitBetween is 10ms
Result:
Hoping this version is finally stable.
Motivation:
It seems that in certain conditions, the write back from the server is so quick that the handler has no time to compute traffic shaping. So 10ms of wait before acknowledging is added in server side.
Modifications:
Add 10ms waiting before server ackonwledge the client.
Result:
The timing is now suppsed to be stable.
Motivation:
The test procedure is unstable due to not enough precise timestamping
during the check.
Modifications:
Reducing the test cases and cibling "stable" test ("timestamp-able")
bring more stability to the tests.
Result:
Tests for TrafficShapingHandler seem more stable (whatever using JVM 6,
7 or 8).
When a ChannelOutboundBuffer contains ByteBufs followed by a FileRegion,
removeBytes() will fail with a ClassCastException. It should break the
loop instead.
f31c630c8c was causing
SocketGatheringWriteTest to fail because it does not take the case where
an empty buffer exists in a gathering write.
When there is an empty buffer in a gathering write, the number of
buffers returned by ChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffer() and the actual
number of write attemps can differ.
To remove the write requests correctly, a byte transport must use
ChannelOutboundBuffer.removeBytes()
Motivation:
Because of an incorrect logic in teh EmbeddedChannel constructor it is not possible to use EmbeddedChannel with a ChannelInitializer as constructor argument. This is because it adds the internal LastInboundHandler to its ChannelPipeline before it register itself to the EventLoop.
Modifications:
First register self to EventLoop before add LastInboundHandler to the ChannelPipeline.
Result:
It's now possible to use EmbeddedChannel with ChannelInitializer.
Motivation:
Due a regression NioSocketChannel.doWrite(...) will throw a ClassCastException if you do something like:
channel.write(bytebuf);
channel.write(fileregion);
channel.flush();
Modifications:
Correctly handle writing of different message types by using the correct message count while loop over them.
Result:
No more ClassCastException
Related issue: #2741 and #2151
Motivation:
There is no way for ChunkedWriteHandler to know the progress of the
transfer of a ChannelInput. Therefore, ChannelProgressiveFutureListener
cannot get exact information about the progress of the transfer.
If you add a few methods that optionally provides the transfer progress
to ChannelInput, it becomes possible for ChunkedWriteHandler to notify
ChannelProgressiveFutureListeners.
If the input has no definite length, we can still use the progress so
far, and consider the length of the input as 'undefined'.
Modifications:
- Add ChunkedInput.progress() and ChunkedInput.length()
- Modify ChunkedWriteHandler to use progress() and length() to notify
the transfer progress
Result:
ChunkedWriteHandler now notifies ChannelProgressiveFutureListener.
- SocksV[45] -> Socks[45]
- Make encodeAsByteBuf package private with some hassle
- Split SocksMessageEncoder into Socks4MessageEncoder and
Socks5MessageEncoder, and remove the original
- Remove lazy singleton instantiation; we don't need it.
- Remove the deprecated methods
- Fix Javadoc errors
Motivation:
SOCKS 4 and 5 are very different protocols although they share the same
name. It is not possible to incorporate the two protocol versions into
a single package.
Modifications:
- Add a new package called 'socksx' to supercede 'socks' package.
- Add SOCKS 4/4a support to the 'socksx' package
Result:
codec-socks now supports all SOCKS versions
Related issue: #2407
Motivation:
The current fallback SOMAXCONN value is 3072. It is way too large
comparing to the default SOMAXCONN value of popular OSes.
Modifications:
Decrease the fallback SOMAXCONN value to 128 or 200 depending on the
current OS
Result:
Saner fallback value
Related issue: #2766
Motivation:
Forgot to rename them before the final release by mistake.
Modifications:
Rename and then re-introduce the deprecated version that extends the
renamed class.
Result:
Better naming
Motivation:
LZ4 compression codec provides sending and receiving data encoded by very fast LZ4 algorithm.
Modifications:
- Added `lz4` library which implements LZ4 algorithm.
- Implemented Lz4FramedEncoder which extends MessageToByteEncoder and provides compression of outgoing messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedEncoder and how it can compress data for the next uncompression using the original library.
- Implemented Lz4FramedDecoder which extends ByteToMessageDecoder and provides uncompression of incoming messages.
- Added tests to verify the Lz4FramedDecoder and how it can uncompress data after compression using the original library.
- Added integration tests for Lz4FramedEncoder/Decoder.
Result:
Full LZ4 compression codec which can compress/uncompress data using LZ4 algorithm.
Motivation:
The _0XFF_0X00 buffer is not duplicated and empty after the first usage preventing the connection close to happen on subsequent close frames.
Modifications:
Correctly duplicate the buffer.
Result:
Multiple CloseWebSocketFrames are handled correctly.
