Motivation:
On some ill-configured systems, InetAddress.getLocalHost() fails. NioSocketChannelTest calls java.net.Socket.connect() and it internally invoked InetAddress.getLocalHost(), which causes the test failures in NioSocketChannelTes on such an ill-configured system.
Modifications:
Use NetUtil.LOCALHOST explicitly.
Result:
NioSocketChannelTest should not fail anymore.
Motivation:
At the moment we sometimes use only RecvByteBufAllocator.guess() to guess the next size and the use the ByteBufAllocator.* directly to allocate the buffer. We should always use RecvByteBufAllocator.allocate(...) all the time as this makes the behavior easier to adjust.
Modifications:
Change the read() implementations to make use of RecvByteBufAllocator.
Result:
Behavior is more consistent.
Motivation:
DefaultChannelPipeline.firstContext() should return null when the ipeline is empty. This is not the case atm.
Modification:
Fix incorrect check in DefaultChannelPipeline.firstContext() and add unit tests.
Result:
Correctly return null when DefaultChannelPipeline.firstContext() is called on empty pipeline.
Motivation:
Because Thread.currentThread().interrupt() will unblock Selector.select() we need to take special care when check if we need to rebuild the Selector. If the unblock was caused by the interrupt() we will clear it and move on as this is most likely a bug in a custom ChannelHandler or a library the user makes use of.
Modification:
Clear the interrupt state of the Thread if the Selector was unblock because of an interrupt and the returned keys was 0.
Result:
No more busy loop caused by Thread.currentThread().interrupt()
Motivation:
As discussed in #2250, it will become much less complicated to implement
deregistration and reregistration of a channel once #2250 is resolved.
Therefore, there's no need to deprecate deregister() and
channelUnregistered().
Modification:
- Undeprecate deregister() and channelUnregistered()
- Remove SuppressWarnings annotations where applicable
Result:
We (including @jakobbuchgraber) are now ready to play with #2250 at
master
Motivation:
I had the NioSocketChannelTest.testFlushCloseReentrance() fail sometimes on one of my linux installation. This change let it pass all the time.
Modification:
Set the SO_SNDBUF to a small value to force split writes
Result:
Test is passing all the time where it was sometimes fail before.
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to deregister a LocalChannel from its EventLoop and register it to another one as the LocalChannel is closed during the deregister.
Modification:
Not close the LocalChannel during dergister
Result:
It is now possible to deregister a LocalChannel and register it to another EventLoop
Motivation:
At the moment it is possible to see a NPE when the LocalSocketChannels doRegister() method is called and the LocalSocketChannels doClose() method is called before the registration was completed.
Modifications:
Make sure we delay the actual close until the registration task was executed.
Result:
No more NPE
Motivation:
At the moment ChanneConfig.setAutoRead(false) only is guaranteer to not have an extra channelRead(...) triggered when used from within the channelRead(...) or channelReadComplete(...) method. This is not the correct behaviour as it should also work from other methods that are triggered from within the EventLoop. For example a valid use case is to have it called from within a ChannelFutureListener, which currently not work as expected.
Beside this there is another bug which is kind of related. Currently Channel.read() will not work as expected for OIO as we will stop try to read even if nothing could be read there after one read operation on the socket (when the SO_TIMEOUT kicks in).
Modifications:
Implement the logic the right way for the NIO/OIO/SCTP and native transport, specific to the transport implementation. Also correctly handle Channel.read() for OIO transport by trigger a new read if SO_TIMEOUT was catched.
Result:
It is now also possible to use ChannelConfig.setAutoRead(false) from other methods that are called from within the EventLoop and have direct effect.
Motivation:
At the moment we create a HashMap that holds the MembershipKeys for multicast with every NioDatagramChannel even when most people not need it at al
Modifications:
Lazy create the HashMap when needed.
Result:
Less memory usage and less object creation
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
Because we not null out the array entry in the SelectionKey[] which is produced by SelectedSelectionKeySet.flip() we may end up with a few SelectionKeyreferences still hanging around here even after the Channel was closed. As these entries may be present at the end of the SelectionKey[] which is never updated for a long time as not enough SelectionKeys are ready.
Modifications:
Once we access the SelectionKey out of the SelectionKey[] we directly null it out.
Result:
Reference can be GC'ed right away once the Channel was closed.
Motivation:
At the moment we do a Channel.isActive() check in every AbstractChannel.AbstractUnsafe.write(...) call which gives quite some overhead as shown in the profiler when you write fast enough. We can eliminate the check and do something more smart here.
Modifications:
Remove the isActive() check and just check if the ChannelOutboundBuffer was set to null before, which means the Channel was closed. The rest will be handled in flush0() anyway.
Result:
Less overhead when doing many write calls
Motivation:
At the moment an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown if a ChannelPromise is cancelled while propagate through the ChannelPipeline. This is not correct, we should just stop to propagate it as it is valid to cancel at any time.
Modifications:
Stop propagate the operation through the ChannelPipeline once a ChannelPromise is cancelled.
Result:
No more IllegalArgumentException when cancel a ChannelPromise while moving through the ChannelPipeline.
Motivation:
At the moment we use the system-wide default selector provider for this invocation of the Java virtual machine when constructing a new NIO channel, which makes using an alternative SelectorProvider practically useless.
This change allows user specify his/her preferred SelectorProvider.
Modifications:
Add SelectorProvider as a param for current `private static *Channel newSocket` method of NioSocketChannel, NioServerSocketChannel and NioDatagramChannel.
Change default constructors of NioSocketChannel, NioServerSocketChannel and NioDatagramChannel to use DEFAULT_SELECTOR_PROVIDER when calling newSocket(SelectorProvider).
Add new constructors for NioSocketChannel, NioServerSocketChannel and NioDatagramChannel which allow user specify his/her preferred SelectorProvider.
Result:
Now users can specify his/her preferred SelectorProvider when constructing an NIO channel.
Motivation:
Allow the user to create a NioServerSocketChannel from an existing ServerSocketChannel.
Modifications:
Add an extra constructor
Result:
Now the user is be able to create a NioServerSocketChannel from an existing ServerSocketChannel, like he can do with all the other Nio*Channel implemntations.
Motivation:
Ensure the user know the Channel must be closed to release resources like filehandles.
Modifications:
Add some extra javadoc.
Result:
More clear documentation
Motivation:
At the moment we use SocketChannel.open(), ServerSocketChannel.open() and DatagramSocketChannel.open(...) within the constructor of our
NIO channels. This introduces a bottleneck if you create a lot of connections as these calls delegate to SelectorProvider.provider() which
uses synchronized internal. This change removed the bottleneck.
Modifications:
Obtain a static instance of the SelectorProvider and use SelectorProvider.openSocketChannel(), SelectorProvider.openServerSocketChannel() and
SelectorProvider.openDatagramChannel(). This eliminates the bottleneck as SelectorProvider.provider() is not called on every channel creation.
Result:
Less conditions when create new channels.
Motivation:
Remove the synchronization bottleneck and so speed up things
Modifications:
Introduce a ThreadLocal cache that holds mappings between classes of ChannelHandlerAdapater implementations and the result of checking if the @Sharable annotation is present.
This way we only will need to do the real check one time and server the other calls via the cache. A ThreadLocal and WeakHashMap combo is used to implement the cache
as this way we can minimize the conditions while still be sure we not leak class instances in containers.
Result:
Less conditions during adding ChannelHandlerAdapter to the ChannelPipeline
- Allocating and deallocating a direct buffer for I/O is an expensive
operation, so we have to at least have a pool of direct buffers if the
current allocator is not pooled
- Inspired by #2214 by @normanmaurer
- Call setUncancellable() before performing an outbound operation
- Add safeSetSuccess/Failure() and use them wherever
- Fixes#2060
- Ensure to return a future/promise implementation that does not fail with 'not registered to an event loop' error for registration operations
- If there is no usable event loop available, GlobalEventExecutor.INSTANCE is used as a fallback.
The problem with the old way was that we always set the OP_WRITE when the buffer could not be written
until the write-spin-count was reached. This means that in some cases the channel was still be writable
but we just was not able to write out the data quick enough. For this cases we should better break out the
write loop and schedule a write to be picked up later in the EventLoop, when other tasks was executed.
The OP_WRITE will only be set if a write actual returned 0 which means there is no more room for writing data
and this we need to wait for the os to notify us.
Beside this it also helps to reduce CPU usage as nioBufferCount() is quite expensive when used on CompositeByteBuf which are
nested and contains a lot of components
This ChannelOption allows to tell the DatagramChannel implementation to be active as soon as they are registrated to their EventLoop. This can be used to make it possible to write to a not bound DatagramChannel.
The ChannelOption is marked as @deprecated as I'm looking for a better solution in master which breaks default behaviour with 4.0 branch.
This move less common method patterns to extra methods and so make the nioBuffers() method with most common pattern (backed by one ByteBuffer) small enough for inlining.
This is needed because of otherwise the JDK itself will do an extra ByteBuffer copy with it's own pool implementation. Even worth it will be done
multiple times if the ByteBuffer is always only partial written. With this change the copy is done inside of netty using it's own allocator and
only be done one time in all cases.
Introduce a new interface called MessageSizeEstimator. This can be specific per Channel (via ChannelConfig). The MessageSizeEstimator will be used to estimate for a message that should be written. The default implementation handles ByteBuf, ByteBufHolder and FileRegion. A user is free to plug-in his/her own implementation for different behaviour.
This fixes#1664 and revert also the original commit which was meant to fix it 3b1881b523 . The problem with the original commit was that it could delay handlerRemove(..) calls and so mess up the order or forward bytes to late.
- Remove unnecessary ascending traversal of pipeline in DefaultChannelHandlerContext.freeInbound()
- Move DefaultChannelHandlerContext.teardownAll() to DefaultChannelPipeline
- Previously, failUnflushed() did not run when inFail is true, which made unflushed writes are not released on reentrance. This has been fixed by this commit.
- Also, AbstractUnsafe.outboundBuffer is set to null as early as possible to remove the chance of any write attempts made after the closure.
- Fix a bug in DefaultProgressivePromise.tryProgress() where the notification is dropped
- Fix a bug in AbstractChannel.calculateMessageSize() where FileRegion is not counted
- HttpStaticFileServer example now uses zero copy file transfer if possible.
- Merge MessageList into ChannelOutboundBuffer
- Make ChannelOutboundBuffer a queue-like data structure so that it is nearly impossible to leak a message
- Make ChannelOutboundBuffer public so that AbstractChannel can expose it to its subclasses.
- TODO: Re-enable gathering write in NioSocketChannel
