Motivation:
The local transport is used to communicate in the same JVM so we should use heap buffers.
Modifications:
Use heapbuffers by default if not requested otherwise.
Result:
No allocating of direct buffers by default when using local transport
Motivation:
Suppose the domain `foo.example.com` resolves to the following ip
addresses `10.0.0.1`, `10.0.0.2`, `10.0.0.3`. Round robin DNS works by
having each client probabilistically getting a different ordering of
the set of target IP’s, so connections from different clients (across
the world) would be split up across each of the addresses. Example: In
a `ChannelPool` to manage connections to `foo.example.com`, it may be
desirable for high QPS applications to spread the requests across all
available network addresses. Currently, Netty’s resolver would return
only the first address (`10.0.0.1`) to use. Let say we are making
dozens of connections. The name would be resolved to a single IP and
all of the connections would be made to `10.0.0.1`. The other two
addresses would not see any connections. (they may see it later if new
connections are made and `10.0.0.2` is the first in the list at that
time of a subsequent resolution). In these changes, I add support to
select a random one of the resolved addresses to use on each resolve
call, all while leveraging the existing caching and inflight request
detection. This way in my example, the connections would be make to
random selections of the resolved IP addresses.
Modifications:
I added another method `newAddressResolver` to
`DnsAddressResolverGroup` which can be overriden much like
`newNameResolver`. The current functionality which creates
`InetSocketAddressResolver` is still used. I added
`RoundRobinDnsAddressResolverGroup` which extends
DnsAddressResolverGroup and overrides the `newAddressResolver` method
to return a subclass of the `InetSocketAddressResolver`. This subclass
is called `RoundRobinInetSocketAddressResolver` and it contains logic
that takes a `resolve` request, does a `resolveAll` under the hood, and
returns a single element at random from the result of the `resolveAll`.
Result:
The existing functionality of `DnsAddressResolverGroup` is left
unchanged. All new functionality is in the
`RoundRobinInetSocketAddressResolver` which users will now have the
option to use.
Motivation:
If the user removes the SslHandler while still in the processing loop we will produce an IllegalReferenceCountException. We should stop looping when the handlerwas removed.
Modifications:
Ensure we stop looping when the handler is removed.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException.
Motivation:
The weight header with the default value is not set but it should be (rfc7540#5.3.5: …Pushed streams initially depend on their associated stream … are assigned a default weight of 16).
Modifications:
Add STREAM_WEIGHT header.
Result:
Correctly add headers.
Motivation:
When using java.nio.DatagramChannel we should not close the channel when a SocketException was thrown as we can still use the channel.
Modifications:
Not close the Channel when SocketException is thrown
Result:
More robust and correct handling of exceptions when using NioDatagramChannel.
Motivation:
If an exception is thrown while processing the ready channels in the EventLoop we should still run all tasks as this may allow to recover. For example a OutOfMemoryError may be thrown and runAllTasks() will free up memory again. Beside this we should also ensure we always allow to shutdown even if an exception was thrown.
Modifications:
- Call runAllTasks() in a finally block
- Ensure shutdown is always handles.
Result:
More robust EventLoop implementations for NIO and Epoll.
Motivation:
We should better first process OP_WRITE before OP_READ as this may allow us to free memory in a faster fashion for previous queued writes.
Modifications:
Process OP_WRITE before OP_READ
Result:
Free memory faster for queued writes.
Motivation:
The responsibility for retaining the settings values and enforcing the settings constraints is spread out in different areas of the code and may be initialized with different values than the default specified in the RFC. This should not be allowed by default and interfaces which are responsible for maintaining/enforcing settings state should clearly indicate the restrictions that they should only be set by the codec upon receipt of a SETTINGS ACK frame.
Modifications:
- Encoder, Decoder, and the Headers Encoder/Decoder no longer expose public constructors that allow the default settings to be changed.
- Http2HeadersDecoder#maxHeaderSize() exists to provide some bound when headers/continuation frames are being aggregated. However this is roughly the same as SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE (besides the 32 byte octet for each header field) and can be used instead of attempting to keep the two independent values in sync.
- Encoding headers now enforces SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE at the octect level. Previously the header encoder compared the number of header key/value pairs against SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE instead of the number of octets (plus 32 bytes overhead).
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder#onData calls shouldIgnoreHeadersOrDataFrame but may swallow exceptions from this method. This means a STREAM_RST frame may not be sent when it should for an unknown stream and thus violate the RFC. The exception is no longer swallowed.
Result:
Default settings state is enforced and interfaces related to settings state are clarified.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 child channel API does not allow to create local/outbound HTTP/2 streams.
Modifications:
Add a Http2StreamChannelBootstrap that allows to create outbound streams.
Result:
The HTTP/2 child channel API now supports outbound streams.
Motivation:
HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandler.write(ctx, msg, promise) ignores HttpConversionUtil.ExtensionHeaderNames.STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID header in outbound message. Beside this InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter also not add the STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT headers.
Modifications:
Respect STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT
Result:
Correctly respect STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT.
Motivation:
Add test-case for doing mutal auth with a certificate chain that holds more then one certificate.
Modifications:
Add test case
Result:
more tests.
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
The Javadocs of HttpUtil.getContentLength(HttpMessage, long) and its int overload state that the provided default value is returned if the Content-Length value is not a number. NumberFormatException is thrown instead.
Modifications:
Correctly handle when the value is not a number.
Result:
API works as stated in javadocs.
Motivation:
It'd be usually good to use the latest library version.
Modification:
Bumped JMH to the latest version as of today.
Result:
Now we use JMH version 1.14.1 for our benchmark.
Motivation:
When using the AF_UNIX PROXY protocol, the reader index was not set correctly after consuming the message bytes of the original header ByteBuf. This caused no immediate harm because after the codepath there is no consumer of the ByteBuf in the current implementation. It’s a bug nevertheless, because consumers of the ByteBuf for extensions (like TLVs, which are allowed by the PROXY protocol spec) would consume a ByteBuf that has a wrong readerIndex when using AF_UNIX instead of e.g. IPv4 (which has correct behaviour)
Modifications:
Increase the reader index of the ByteBuf after it was read
Result:
Correct and consistent behaviour of the AF_UNIX codepath
Motivation:
Http2EventAdapter implements the Http2FrameListener interface but implements the #onUnknownFrame(...) method without the interface's throws Http2Exception.
Modifications:
Add throws Http2Exception.
Result:
More correct method signature.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector reports leak for first call to open(obj) as its leakCheckCnt starts with value 0 and increment subsequently. with value of leakCheckCnt =0, it always returns ResourceLeak. Our application calls ResourceLeakDetector.open(obj) to validate Leak and it fails at very first call even though there is no leak in application.
Modifications:
ResourceLeakDetector.leakCheckCnt value will not be 0 while deriving leak and it will not return incorrect value of ResourceLeak.
Result:
Fix false leak report on first call on ResourceLeakDetector.
the implicit #fireChannelReadComplete() in EmbeddedChannel#writeInbound().
Motivation
We use EmbeddedChannels to implement a ProxyChannel of some sorts that shovels
messages between a source and a destination Channel. The latter are real network
channels (such as Epoll) and they may or may not be managed in a ChannelPool. We
could fuse both ends directly together but the EmbeddedChannel provides a nice
disposable section of a ChannelPipeline that can be used to instrument the messages
that are passing through the proxy portion.
The ideal flow looks abount like this:
source#channelRead() -> proxy#writeOutbound() -> destination#write()
source#channelReadComplete() -> proxy#flushOutbound() -> destination#flush()
destination#channelRead() -> proxy#writeInbound() -> source#write()
destination#channelReadComplete() -> proxy#flushInbound() -> source#flush()
The problem is that #writeOutbound() and #writeInbound() emit surplus #flush()
and #fireChannelReadComplete() events which in turn yield to surplus #flush()
calls on both ends of the pipeline.
Modifications
Introduce a new set of write methods that reain the same sematics as the #write()
method and #flushOutbound() and #flushInbound().
Result
It's possible to implement the above ideal flow.
Fix for EmbeddedChannel#ensureOpen() and Unit Tests for it
Some PR stuff.
Motivation:
The StreamBufferingEncoder is missing documentation of what happens
to buffered frames when it's closed.
Modifications:
Added this missing piece of documentation.
Result:
Improved documentation.
Motivation:
Currently FlushConsolidationHandler only consolidates if a read loop is
active for a Channel, otherwise each writeAndFlush(...) call will still
be flushed individually. When these calls are close enough, it can be
beneficial to consolidate them even outside of a read loop.
Modifications:
When we allow a flush to "go through", don't perform it immediately, but
submit it on the channel's executor. Under high pressure, this gives
other writes a chance to enqueue before the task gets executed, and so
we flush multiple writes at once.
Result:
Lower CPU usage and less context switching.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we release all direct memory once the DirectPoolArena is collected. Otherwise we may never reclaim the memory and so leak memory.
Modifications:
Ensure we destroy all PoolChunk memory when DirectPoolArena is collected.
Result:
Free up unreleased memory when DirectPoolArena is collected.
Motivation:
codec-http2 is really loud!
Modification:
Allow users to select how to log in the Http2Codec.
Result:
We can run Http2Codec and log however we like.
Motivation:
NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress does not correctly translate IPv4 address to String. Also IPv6 addresses may not follow minimization conventions when converting to a String (see rfc 5952).
Modifications:
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should correctly handle negative byte values for IPv4
- NetUtil.bytesToIpAddress should leverage existing to string conversion code in NetUtil
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5821
Motivation:
HttpObjectDecoder maintains a resetRequested flag which is used to determine if internal state should be reset when a decode occurs. However after a reset is done the resetRequested flag is not set to false. This leads to all data after this point being discarded.
Modifications:
- Set resetRequested to false when a reset is done
Result:
HttpObjectDecoder can still function after a reset.
Motivation:
HTTP/2 Decoder#decodeULE128 current will tolerate more bytes than necessary when attempted to detect overflow. The usage of this method also currently requires an additional overflow conditional.
Modifications:
- Integrate the first byte into Decoder#decodeULE128 which allows us to detect overflow reliably and avoid overflow checks outside of this method.
Result:
Less conditionals and earlier overflow detection in Decoder#decodeULE128
Motivation:
For the leak profile we attempted to increase the number of leak hints that were retained to make debugging easier, but there was a typo.
Modifications:
- maxRecord -> maxRecords
Result:
Fix typo in pom.xml so leak profile provides more context for leaks.
Motivation
Give the user the ability to back out from SNI negoations.
Modifications
Put a try-catch around the select() call and re-fire any caught Exceptions.
Result
Fixes#5787
Motivation:
Avoid multiple search in fragments map
Modifications:
Replace usage of Map.containsKey by Map.remove
Result:
During packet process, fragment is only search once in the map instead of 3 times in the previous worst case
Motivation:
We need to duplicate the buffer before passing it to writeBytes(...) as it will increase the readerIndex().
Modifications:
Call duplicate().
Result:
No more IndexOutOfBoundsException when runing the multiplex example.
Motivation:
We called ctx.flush() which is not correct as it will not call flowController().writePendingBytes().
Modifications:
Call flush(ChannelHandlerContext) and so also call flowController().writePendingBytes().
Result:
Correct http2 example
Motivation:
Http2ServerInitializer uses a SimpleChannelHandler in an attempt to ease putting an HttpObjectAggregator in the pipeline when no upgrade is attempted. However the message is double released because it is fired up the pipeline (which will be released) and also released by SimpleChannelHandler in a finally block.
Modifications:
- Retain the message if we fire it up the pipeline
Result:
HTTP/2 examples don't encounter a reference count error if no upgrade was attempted.
Motivation:
At the moment only DefaultFileRegion is supported when using the native epoll transport.
Modification:
- Add support for any FileRegion implementation
- Add test case
Result:
Also custom FileRegion implementation are supported when using the epoll transport.
Motivation:
As discussed in #5738, developers need to concern themselves with setting
connection: keep-alive on the response as well as whether to close a
connection or not after writing a response. This leads to special keep-alive
handling logic in many different places. The purpose of the HttpServerKeepAliveHandler
is to allow developers to add this handler to their pipeline and therefore
free themselves of having to worry about the details of how Keep-Alive works.
Modifications:
Added HttpServerKeepAliveHandler to the io.netty.handler.codec.http package.
Result:
Developers can start using HttpServerKeepAliveHandler in their pipeline instead
of worrying about when to close a connection for keep-alive.
Motivation:
Http2ServerDowngrader doesn't mark chunked requests as chunked, even
though the natural conversion from http/2 requests to http/1.1 requests
is to chunked ones.
Modifications:
Mark requests that aren't already complete as chunked.
Result:
Requests will be chunked, and can later be aggregated if necessary.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler has a number of volatile member variables which are only accessed from the EventLoop thread. These do not have to be volatile. The accessibility of these member variables are not consistent between private and package private. The state variable can also use a byte instead of an int.
Modifications:
- Remove volatile from member variables
- Change access to private for member variables
- Change state from int to byte
Result:
IdleStateHandler member variables cleaned up.
Motivation:
Void promises need special treatment, as they don't behave like normal promises. One
cannot add a listener to a void promise for example.
Modifications:
Inspected the code for addListener() calls, and added extra logic for void promises
where necessary. Essentially, when writing a frame with a void promise, any errors
are reported via the channel pipeline's exceptionCaught event.
Result:
The HTTP/2 codec has better support for void promises.
Motivation:
MessageAggregator has a potential to leak if a new message is received before the existing message has completed, and if a HttpContent is received but maxContentLength has been exceeded, or the content length is too long.
Modifications:
- Make the HttpObjectAggregator more robust to leaks
- Reduce dependance on handlingOversizedMessage but instead rely on the more general check of a null currentMessage
Result:
More robust MessageAggregator with less chance of leaks
Motivation:
At the moment we log very confusing messages when trying to load a native library which kind of suggest that the whole loading process failed even if just one mechanism failed and the library could be loaded at the end.
Modifications:
Make the mesage less confusing and also log a successful load of the native library.
Result:
Less confusing logs.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler and ReadTimeoutHandler could mistakely not fire an event even if no channelRead(...) call happened.
Modifications:
Only set lastReadTime if a read happened before.
Result:
More correct IdleStateHandler / ReadTimeoutHandler.
Motivation:
Since netty shaded JCTools the OSGi manifest no longer is correct. It claims to
have an optional import "org.jctools.queues;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.qu
eues.atomic;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.util;resolution:=optional"
However since it is shaded, this is no longer true.
This was noticed when making JCTools a real bundle and netty resolved it as
optional import.
Modifications:
Modify the generated manifest by no longer analyzing org.jctools for imports.
A manual setting of sun.misc as optional was required.
Result:
Netty OSGi bundle will no longer interfere with a JCTools bundle.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only call debugData.release() if we called debugData.retain(), otherwise we my see an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Modifications:
Only call release() if we called retain().
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException possible.
Motivation:
We need to call debugData.retain() before we forward the frame to the pipeline as ByteToMessageDecoder will call release() on the buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly retain debugData and fix the unit test to test for it.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException when using the Http2FrameCodec.
Motivation:
As described in #5734
Before this change, if the server had to do some sort of setup after a
handshake was completed based on handshake's information, the only way
available was to wait (in a separate thread) for the handshaker to be
added as an attribute to the channel. Too much hassle.
Modifications:
Handshake completed event need to be stateful now, so I've added a tiny
class holding just the HTTP upgrade request and the selected subprotocol
which is fired as an event after the handshake has finished.
I've also deprecated the old enum used as stateless event and I left the
code that fires it for backward compatibility. It should be removed in
the next mayor release.
Result:
It should be much simpler now to do initialization stuff based on
subprotocol or request headers on handshake completion. No asynchronous
waiting needed anymore.
Motivation:
he HTTP/2 spec demands that the max value for SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE should be an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Modifications:
Change the limit to unsigned 32-bit integer and add tests.
Result:
Complient to rfc.
