Motivation:
`Epoll.ensureAvailability()` is called multiple times, once in
static initialization and in a couple of the constructors. This is
redundant and confusing to read.
Modifications:
Move `Epoll.ensureAvailability()` call into an instance initializer
and remove all other references. This ensures that every EELG
checks availability, while still delaying the check until
construction. This pattern is used when there are multiple ctors,
as in this class.
Result:
Easier to read code.
Motivation:
We should not try to detect a free port in tests put just use 0 when bind so there is no race in which the system my bind something to the port we choosen before.
Modifications:
- Remove the usage of TestUtils.getFreePort() in the testsuite
- Remove hack to workaround bind errors which will not happen anymore now
Result:
Less flacky tests.
Motivation:
JCTools 2.0.2 provides an unbounded MPSC linked queue. Before we shaded JCTools we had our own unbounded MPSC linked queue and used it in various places but gave this up because there was no public equivalent available in JCTools at the time.
Modifications:
- Use JCTool's MPSC linked queue when no upper bound is specified
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5951
Motivation:
We used an intermediate collection to store the read DatagramPackets and only fired these through the pipeline once wewere done with the reading loop. This is not needed and can also increase memory usage.
Modifications:
Remove intermediate collection
Result:
Less overhead and possible less memory usage during read loop.
Motivation:
The kqueue documentation states that 'Calling close() on a file descriptor will remove any kevents that reference the descriptor.' [1], but doesn't mention if this cleanup will be done synchronously. Under some circumstances it has been observed that cleanup was not done immediately and when KQueueEventLoop attempted to access the channel associated with the event the JVM would crash, a ClassCastException, or generally undefined behavior would occur because of invalid pointer references.
[1] https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2
Modifications:
- AbstractKqueueChannel#doClose should not rely upon this assumption and instead should call doDeregister() to ensure cleanup is done synchronously.
- Deleting a kevent should also set the jniSelfPtr stored in the udata of that kevent to NULL, to ensure we will not dereference it later.
Result:
No more kqueue crash due to close/cleanup sequencing.
Motivation:
We rely upon the linker being non-lazy to test compatibility the native library compatibility for kqueue, but the default mode of operation is to lazy link.
Modifications:
- We should modify the build scripts to inform the linker that this library should not be lazy linked
- Error messages changes
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: unsupported JNI version 0xFFFFFFFF required by .../libnetty-transport-native-kqueue.dylib
Result:
Link errors are detected upon library load time.
Motivation:
Enable static linking for Java 8. These commits are the same as those introduced to netty tcnative. The goal is to allow lots of JNI libraries to be statically linked together without having conflict `JNI_OnLoad` methods.
Modification:
* add JNI_OnLoad suffixes to enable static linking
* Add static names to the list of libraries that try to be loaded
* Enable compiling with JNI 1.8
* Sort includes
Result:
Enable statically linked JNI code.
Motivation:
We should not force autoconf and compile as this will result in multiple executions and so slow down the build.
Modifications:
Remove force declarations
Result:
Faster build of native modules
Motivation:
1. special handling of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer rather than type of CompositeByteBuf (eg. DuplicatedByteBuf with CompositeByteBuf)
2. EpollDatagramUnicastTest and KQueueDatagramUnicastTest passed because CompositeByteBuf is converted to DuplicatedByteBuf before write to channel
3. uninitalized struct msghdr will raise error
Modifications:
1. isBufferCopyNeededForWrite(like isSingleDirectBuffer in NioDatgramChannel) checks wether a new direct buffer is needed
2. special handling of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer in EpollDatagramChannel, AbstractEpollStreamChannel, KQueueDatagramChannel, AbstractKQueueStreamChannel and IovArray
3. initalize struct msghdr
Result:
handle of ByteBuf with multi nioBuffer in EpollDatagramChannel and KQueueDatagramChannel are ok
Motivation:
We only can call eventLoop() if we are registered on an EventLoop yet. As we just did this without checking we spammed the log with an error that was harmless.
Modifications:
Check if registered on eventLoop before try to deregister on close.
Result:
Fixes [#6770]
Motivation:
The native epoll transport allows to wrap an existing filedescriptor, we should support the same in the native kqueue transport.
Modifications:
Add constructors that allow to wrap and existing filedescriptor.
Result:
Featureset of native transports more on par.
Motivation:
For our native libraries in netty we support shading, to have this work on runtime the user needs to set a system property. This code should shared.
Modifications:
Move logic to NativeLbiraryLoader and so share for all native libs.
Result:
Less code duplication and also will work for netty-tcnative out of the box once it support shading
Motivation:
MacOS will throw an error when attempting to set the IP_TOS socket option if IPv6 is available, and also when getting the value for IP_TOS.
Modifications:
- Socket#setTrafficClass and Socket#getTrafficClass should try to use IPv6 first, and check if the error code indicates the protocol is not supported before trying IPv4
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6741.
Motivation:
To ensure the release plugin works correctly we need to ensure all modules are included during build.
Modification:
- Include all modules
- Skip compilation and tests for native code when not supported but still include the module and build the jar
Result:
Build and release works again
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.
