Motivation:
We only used the openssl version to detect if Ocsp is supported or not which is not good enough as even the version is correct it may be compiled without support for OCSP (like for example on ubuntu).
Modifications:
Try to enable OCSP while static init OpenSsl and based on if this works return true or false when calling OpenSsl.isOcspSupported().
Result:
Correctly detect if OSCP is supported.
Motivation:
Some JUnit assert calls can be replaced by simpler.
Modifications:
Replacement with a more suitable methods.
Result:
More informative JUnit reports.
Motivation:
In OpenSsl init code we create a SelfSignedCertificate which we not explicitly delete. This can lead to have the deletion delayed.
Modifications:
Delete the SelfSignedCertificate once done with it.
Result:
Fixes [#6716]
Motivation:
The javadocs for ByteBuf#ensureWritable(int, boolean) indicate that it should not throw, and instead the return code should indicate the result of the operation. Due to a bug in AbstractByteBuf it is possible for a resize to be attempted on a buffer that may exceed maxCapacity() and therefore throw.
Modifications:
- If there is not enough space in the buffer, and force is false, then a resize should not be attempted
Result:
AbstractByteBuf#ensureWritable(int, boolean) enforces the javadoc constraints and does not throw.
Motivation:
SSL_write requires a fixed amount of bytes for overhead related to the encryption process for each call. OpenSslEngine#wrap(..) will attempt to encrypt multiple input buffers until MAX_PLAINTEXT_LENGTH are consumed, but the size estimation provided by calculateOutNetBufSize may not leave enough room for each call to SSL_write. If SSL_write is not able to completely write results to the destination buffer it will keep state and attempt to write it later. Netty doesn't account for SSL_write keeping state and assumes all writes will complete synchronously (by attempting to allocate enough space to account for the overhead) and feeds the same data to SSL_write again later which results in corrupted data being generated.
Modifications:
- OpenSslEngine#wrap should only produce a single TLS packet according to the SSLEngine API specificaiton [1].
[1] https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLEngine.html#wrap-java.nio.ByteBuffer:A-int-int-java.nio.ByteBuffer-
- OpenSslEngine#wrap should only consider a single buffer when determining if there is enough space to write, because only a single buffer will ever be consumed.
Result:
OpenSslEngine#wrap will no longer produce corrupted data due to incorrect accounting of space required in the destination buffers.
Motivation:
AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater#get is unnecessary, I think use simple volatile read is cleaner
Modifications:
Replace code STATE_UPDATER.get(this) to state in SingleThreadEventExecutor
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2FrameWriter has constructors that it would be a hassle to
expose as configuration parameters on Http2Codec. We should instead
make a builder for Http2Codec.
Modifications:
Get rid of the public constructors on Http2Codec and instead make sure
you can always use the builder where you would have used the constructor
before.
Result:
Http2Codec can be configured more flexibly, and the SensitivityDetector
can be configured.
Motivation:
InternalThreadLocalMap#stringBuilder: ensure memory overhead
Modification:
If the capacity of StringBuilder is greater than 65536 then release it on the next time you get StringBuilder and re-create a StringBuilder.
Result:
Possible less memory usage.
Motivation:
IDN.toUnicode(...) removes trailing dots when used in Java7 while it not does on java8.
Modifications:
Check if we should test with the trailing dot removed or not.
Result:
Test pass on Java7 as well.
Motivation:
When adding SNIMatcher support we missed to use static delegating methods and so may try to load classes that not exists in Java7. Which will lead to errors.
Modifications:
- Correctly only try to load classes when running on java8+
- Ensure Java8+ related tests only run when using java8+
Result:
Fixes [#6700]
Motivation:
HttpServerKeepAliveHandler throws unexpected error when I do ctx.writeAndFlush(msg, ctx.voidPromise()); where msg is with header "Connection:close".
Modification:
HttpServerKeepAliveHandler does promise.unvoid() before adding close listener.
Result:
No error for VoidChannelPromise with HttpServerKeepAliveHandler. Fixes [#6698].
Motivation:
It would be more flexible to make getCharset and getMimeType code usable not only for HttpMessage entity but just for any CharSequence. This will improve usability in general purpose code and will help to avoid multiple fetching of ContentType header from a message. It could be done in an external code once and CharSequence method versions could be applied.
Modification:
Expose HttpUtil#getMimeType, HttpUtil#getCharsetAsString, HttpUtil#getCharset versions which works with CharSequence. New methods are reused in the old ones which work with HttpMessage entity.
Result:
More flexible methods set with a good code reusing.
Motivation:
If unsafe is unavailable, we can not use the cleaner anyway. If we try
to set it up, we get an annoying log message about unsafe being
unavailable (when debug logging is enabled). We know this will fail, so
we should not even bother and avoid the log message.
Modifications:
This commit adds a guard against setting up the cleaner if it is not
going to be available because unsafe is unavailable.
Result:
We do not try to set up the cleaner if unsafe is unavailable, and we do
not get an annoying log message.
Motivation:
Users should not see a scary log message when Netty is initialized if
Netty configuration explicitly disables unsafe. The log message that
produces this warning was previously guarded but the guard was
lost.
Modifications:
This commit brings back the guard against the scary log message if
unsafe is explicitly disabled.
Result:
No log message is produced when unsafe is unavailable because Netty was
told to not look for it.
Motivation:
WebSocket decoding throws exceptions on failure that should cause the
pipline to close. These are currently ignored in the
`WebSocketProtocolHandler` and `WebSocketServerProtocolHandler`. In
particular, this means that messages exceding the max message size will
cause the channel to close with no reported failure.
Modifications:
Re-fire the event just before closing the socket to allow it to be
handled appropriately.
Result:
Closes [#3063].
Motivation:
If Content-Encoding: IDENTITY is used we should not try to compress the http message but just let it pass-through.
Modifications:
Remove "!"
Result:
Fixes [#6689]
Motivation:
We currently don't have a native transport which supports kqueue https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2. This can be useful for BSD systems such as MacOS to take advantage of native features, and provide feature parity with the Linux native transport.
Modifications:
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common module with all the java classes and JNI code for generic unix items. This module will build a static library for each unix platform, and included in the dynamic libraries used for JNI (e.g. transport-native-epoll, and eventually kqueue).
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common-tests module where the tests for the transport-native-unix-common module will live. This is so each unix platform can inherit from these test and ensure they pass.
- Add a new transport-native-kqueue module which uses JNI to directly interact with kqueue
Result:
JNI support for kqueue.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2448
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4231
This fixes#6652.
Rationale
The invocation of initChannel of ChannelInitializer has been moved to as
early as during handlerAdded is invoked in 26aa34853, whereas it was
only invoked during channelRegistered is invoked before that. So the
comment does not describe how handlers are added in normal circumstances
anymore.
However, the code is kept as-is since there might be unusual cases, and
adding ServerBootstrapAcceptor via the event loop is always safe to
enforce the correct order.
Motivation:
Fixes#6681.
Modification:
For the sake of better timer observability, expose the number of pending timeouts through the new HashedWheelTimer.pendingTimeouts method .
Result:
It's now ridiculously easy to observe Netty timer's very basic and yet important metric, the number of pending tasks/timeouts.
Motivation:
Conscrypt is not needed when using the handler module, so it should be marked as optional
Modifications:
Mark conscrypt as optional
Result:
Be able to use handler module without conscrypt
Motivation:
Uptime example is lack of server.
UptimeClient's code style is a little bit different from others, which make reader feel confused.
We don't need to create a new Bootstrap instance each time client reconnect to server.
Modification:
Add UptimeServer and UptimeServerHandler which simply accept all connection and discard all message.
Change UptimeClient's code style.
Share a single Bootstrap instance.
Result:
Uptime server support.
Consistent code style.
Single Bootstrap for all reconnection.
Motivation:
NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName allowed an invalid form of mapped IPv4 addresses which lead to accepting invalid IPv6 addresses as valid.
Modifications:
- NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName should only allow 7 colons for an IPv4 address if they are the first 2 characters.
Result:
More correct implementation of NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address and NetUtil#getIPv6ByName
It is generally useful to have origin http servers respond to
"expect: continue-100" as soon as possible but applications without a
HttpObjectAggregator in their pipelines must use boiler plate to do so.
Modifications:
Introduce the HttpServerExpectContinueHandler handler to make it easier.
Result:
Less boiler plate for http application authors.
Motivation:
DiskFileUpload creates temporary files for storing user uploads containing the user provided file name as part of the temporary file name. While most security problems are prevented by using "new File(userFileName).getName()" a small risk for bugs or security issues remains.
Modifications:
Use a constant string as file name and rely on the callers use of File.createTemp to ensure unique disk file names.
Result:
A slight security improvement at the cost of a little more obfuscated temp file names.
Motivation:
A single DNS query may follow many different paths through resolver-dns. The query may fail for various reasons related to the DNS protocol, general IO errors, it may be cancelled due to the query count being exceeded, or other reasons. A query may also result in other queries as we follow the DNS protocol (e.g. redirects, CNAME, etc...). It is currently impossible to collect information about the life cycle of an individual query though resolver-dns. This information may be valuable when considering which DNS servers are preferred over others.
Modifications:
- Introduce an interface which can provide visibility into all the potential outcomes of an individual DNS query
Result:
resolver-dns provides visibility into individual DNS queries which can be used to avoid poorly performing DNS servers.
Motivation:
A BOM should only expose dependency management for the artifacts that the project produces (so in this case, netty artifacts). It should not have an opinion about third party dependencies (otherwise including that BOM in a project potentially overrides decisions that were made about them).
Modifications:
Stop inheriting from netty-parent and explicitly set the versions for the artifacts.
Result:
Valid BOM.
Motivation:
We not correctly released all buffers in the UnpooledTest and so showed "bad" way of handling buffers to people that inspect our code to understand when a buffer needs to be released.
Modifications:
Explicit release all buffers.
Result:
Cleaner and more correct code.
Motivation:
We need to notify the promise after the codecs are removed to allow writing from the listener and ensure we not try to do any encoding anymore. If we not do we will end up with corrupt data.
Modifications:
Notify promise after codecs are removed.
Result:
Fixes [#6671].
Motivation
SniHandler is "hardcoded" to use hostname -> SslContext mappings but there are use-cases where it's desireable and necessary to return more information than a SslContext. The only option so far has been to use a delegation pattern
Modifications
Extract parts of the existing SniHandler into an abstract base class and extend SniHandler from it. Users can do the same by extending the new abstract base class and implement custom behavior that is possibly very different from the common/default SniHandler.
Touches

- b604a22395
Result
Fixes#6603
Motivation:
NetUtil#getByName and NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address do not strictly enforce the format of IPv4 addresses that are allowed to be embedded in IPv6 addresses as specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.5. This may lead to invalid addresses being parsed, or invalid addresses being considered valid. Compression of a single IPv6 word was also not handled correctly if there are 7 : characters.
Modifications:
- NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address should enforce the IPv4-Compatible and IPv4-Mapped are the only valid formats for including IPv4 addresses as specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.5
- NetUtil#getByName should more stritcly parse IPv6 addresses which contain IPv4 addresses as specified in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.5
- NetUtil should allow compression even if the number of : characters is 7.
- NetUtil#createByteArrayFromIpAddressString should use the same IP string to byte[] translation which is used in NetUtil#getByName
Result:
NetUtil#getByName and NetUtil#isValidIpV6Address respect the IPv6 RFC which defines the valid formats for embedding IPv4 addresses.
Motivation:
Each StreamByteDistributor may allow for priority in different ways, but there are certain characteristics which are invalid regardless of the distribution algorithm. We should validate these invalid characteristics at the flow controller level.
Modifications:
- Disallow negative stream IDs from being used. These streams may be accepted by the WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor and cause state for other valid streams to be evicted.
- Improve unit tests to verify limits are enforced.
Result:
Boundary conditions related to the priority parameters are validated more strictly.
Motivation:
We should skip the forbidden API check when run the examples as otherwise it may fail.
Modifications:
Skip the API check in run-example.sh
Result:
Be able to run the examples in all cases.
Motivation:
There needs to be some work be done to allow using forbidden API check plugin when using java9.
Modifications:
Skip forbidden API check when using java9
Result:
Builds again with java9
Motivation:
In cases when an application is running in a container or is otherwise
constrained to the number of processors that it is using, the JVM
invocation Runtime#availableProcessors will not return the constrained
value but rather the number of processors available to the virtual
machine. Netty uses this number in sizing various resources.
Additionally, some applications will constrain the number of threads
that they are using independenly of the number of processors available
on the system. Thus, applications should have a way to globally
configure the number of processors.
Modifications:
Rather than invoking Runtime#availableProcessors, Netty should rely on a
method that enables configuration when the JVM is started or by the
application. This commit exposes a new class NettyRuntime for enabling
such configuraiton. This value can only be set once. Its default value
is Runtime#availableProcessors so that there is no visible change to
existing applications, but enables configuring either a system property
or configuring during application startup (e.g., based on settings used
to configure the application).
Additionally, we introduce the usage of forbidden-apis to prevent future
uses of Runtime#availableProcessors from creeping. Future work should
enable the bundled signatures and clean up uses of deprecated and
other forbidden methods.
Result:
Netty can be configured to not use the underlying number of processors,
but rather the constrained number of processors.
Motivation:
Chrome was randomly getting stuck loading the tiles examples.
Investigation showed that the Netty flow controller thought it had
nothing to send for the connection even though some streams has queued
data and window available.
Modifications:
Fixed an accounting error where an implicitly created parent was not
being added to the dependency tree, thus it and all of its children were
orphaned from the connection's tree and would never have data written.
Result:
Fixes#6621
Motivation:
Although effectively unused, the toString() of
WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor.State is useful for debugging. It
accidentally had an infinite loop, as it would recurse infinitely
between a parent and its child, which makes it less useful for
debugging.
Modifications:
Prune the infinite loop by using the parent's streamId instead of the
parent's toString().
Result:
Faster, less stack-overflowing toString()
Motivation:
Java8 adds support for SNIMatcher to reject SNI when the hostname not matches what is expected. We not supported doing this when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*.
Modifications:
- Add support for SNIMatcher when using SslProvider.OPENSSL*
- Add unit tests
Result:
SNIMatcher now support with our own SSLEngine as well.
Motivation:
We not correctly guarded against overflow and so call Base64.encode(...) with a big buffer may lead to an overflow when calculate the size of the out buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly guard against overflow.
Result:
Fixes [#6620].
Motivation:
We need to release all the buffers that may be put into our inbound queue since we closed the Channel to ensure we not leak any memory. This is fine as it basically gives the same guarantees as TCP which means even if the promise was notified before its not really guaranteed that the "remote peer" will see the buffer at all.
Modifications:
Ensure we release all buffers in the inbound buffer if a doClose() is called.
Result:
No more leaks.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only try to to test with the SslProviders that are supported when running the SslHandlerTest.testCompositeBufSizeEstimationGuaranteesSynchronousWrite test.
Modifications:
Skip SslProvider.OPENSSL* if not supported.
Result:
No more test-failures if openssl is not installed on the system.
Motivation:
Unsafe.invokeCleaner(...) checks if the passed in ByteBuffer is a slice or duplicate and if so throws an IllegalArgumentException on Java9. We need to ensure we never try to free a ByteBuffer that was provided by the user directly as we not know if its a slice / duplicate or not.
Modifications:
Never try to free a ByteBuffer that was passed into UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf constructor by an user (via Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(....)).
Result:
Build passes again on Java9
Motivation:
1. The use of InternetProtocolFamily is not consistent:
the DnsNameResolverContext and DnsNameResolver contains switches
instead of appropriate methods usage.
2. The InternetProtocolFamily class contains redundant switches in the
constructor.
Modifications:
1. Replacing switches to the use of an appropriate methods.
2. Simplifying the InternetProtocolFamily constructor.
Result:
Code is cleaner and simpler.
