Motivation:
If an user will close a Socket / FileDescriptor multiple times we should handle the extra close operations as NOOP.
Modifications:
Only do the actual closing one time
Result:
No exception if close is called multiple times.
Motivation:
We missed to define the actual c function for isKeepAlive(...) and so throw UnsatisfieldLinkError.
Modifications:
- Add function
- Add unit test for Socket class
Result:
Correctly work isKeepAlive(...) when using native transport
Motivation:
The fix for https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3884 breaks SctpEchoTest because Selector.select will always return 0 if you do not clear last selectedKeys.
Modifications:
Clear readSelector.selectedKeys() if it is not empty.
Result:
SctpEchoTest is green again.
Motivation:
DomainNameMapping.add() makes DomainNameMapping look like it's safe to call add() anytime, and this is never true. It's probably better deprecate add() and introduce DomainNameMappingBuilder.
Modifications:
Made an immutable implementation of DomainNameMapping;
Added Builder for immutable DomainNameMapping;
Replaced regex pattern with String::startsWith check;
Replaced HashMap with two arrays in ImmutableDomainNameMapping;
Deprecated mutable API;
Estimation for StringBuilder initial size in ImmutableDomainNameMapping#toString()
Added StringUtil#commonSuffixOfLength
Replaced unnecessary substrings creation in DomainNameMapping#matches with regionMatches
Result:
Clients will be able to create immutable instances of DomainNameMapping with builder API.
Motivation:
UTF-16 can not represent the full range of Unicode characters, and thus has the concept of Surrogate Pair (http://unicode.org/glossary/#surrogate_pair) where 2 16-bit code units can be used to represent the missing characters. ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 is currently does not support this and is thus incomplete.
Modifications:
- Add support for surrogate pairs in ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8
Result:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 now supports surrogate pairs and is correctly converting to UTF-8.
Motivation:
We should not use Unpooled to allocate buffers for performance reasons.
Modifications:
Allow to pass in ByteBufAllocate which is used to allocate buffers or use the allocate of the src buffer.
Result:
Better performance if the PooledByteBufAllocator is used.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not add a newline if the Base64 encoded buffer ends directly on the MAX_LINE_LENGTH. If we miss to do so this produce invalid data.
Because of this bug OpenSslServerContext and OpenSslClientContext may fail to load a cert.
Modifications:
- Only add NEW_LINE if we not are on the end of the dst buffer.
- Add unit test
Result:
Correct result in all cases
Motivation:
We missed to check if the dst is ready only before using unsafe to copy data into it which lead to data-corruption. We need to ensure we respect ready only ByteBuffer.
Modifications:
- Correctly check if the dst is ready only before copy data into it in UnsafeByteBufUtil
- Also make it work for buffers that are not direct and not have an array
Result:
No more data corruption possible if the dst buffer is readonly and unsafe buffer implementation is used.
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslServerContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslServerContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we consume all pending data in the BIO on error to correctly send the close notify for the remote peer.
Modifications:
Correctly force the user to call wrap(...) if there is something left in the BIO.
Result:
close_notify is not lost.
Motivation:
When ClientAuth is set via SslContextBuilder we pass it into the OpenSslEngine constructor. Due a bug we missed to call the correct native methods and so never enabled ClientAuth in this case.
Modifications:
Correctly call setClientAuth(...) in the constructor if needed.
Result:
client auth also works when configured via the SslContextBuilder and OPENSSL is used.
Motivation:
We need to remove all registered events for a Channel from the EventLoop before doing the actual close to ensure we not produce a cpu spin when the actual close operation is delayed or executed outside of the EventLoop.
Modifications:
Deregister for events for NIO and EPOLL socket implementations when SO_LINGER is used.
Result:
No more cpu spin.
Motivation:
Initialisation of the ByteBufUtil class, a class frequently used is
delayed because a significant number of String operations is performed to
fill a HEXDUMP_ROWPREFIXES array. This array also sticks to the Strings
forever.
It is quite likely that applications never use the hexdump facility.
Modification:
Moved the static initialisation and references to a static inner class.
This delays initialisation (and memory usage) until actually needed.
The API is kept as is.
Result:
Faster startup time, less memory usage for most netty using applications.
Motivation:
DefaultPromiseTest has dead code which was left over from a code restructure. Shared code between 2 tests was moved into a common method, but some code which was not cleaned up in each of these methods after the code was moved.
Modifications:
- Delete dead code in DefaultPromiseTest
Result:
Less dead code
Motivation:
AbstractFuture currently wraps CancellationException in a ExecutionException. However the interface of Future says that this exception should be directly thrown.
Modifications:
- Throw CancellationException from AbstractFuture.get
Result:
Interface contract for CancellationException is honored in AbstractFuture.
Motivation:
We should retain the original hostname when connect to a remote peer so the user can still query the origin hostname if getHostString() is used.
Modifications:
Compute a InetSocketAddress from the original remote address and the one returned by the Os.
Result:
Same behavior when using epoll transport and nio transport.
Motivation:
If a uri contains whitespaces we need to ensure we correctly escape these when creating the request for the handshake.
Modifications:
- Correctly encode path for uri
- Add tests
Result:
Correctly handle whitespaces when doing websocket upgrade requests.
Motivation:
We missed to remove a method in SslContext while refactored the implementation. We should remove the method to keep things clean.
Modifications:
Remove unused method.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
Use new / non-deprecated APIs for creating SSL Context
in tests, in order to be able to implement OpenSsl
tests with maximum code reuse.
Modifications:
Use `SslContextBuilder.(forServer|forClient)` instead
of deprecated `JdkSslServerContext` constructor.
Use `ApplicationProtocolConfig` instead of Protocol
Negotiator.
Use custom exception type for skipping tests to avoid
swallowing exceptions arising from tests.
Result:
Exceptions from tests aren't swallowed.
Using new APIs allows reusing same test code for
OpenSsl tests.
Motivation:
Fix a race-condition when closing NioSocketChannel or EpollSocketChannel while try to detect if a close executor should be used and the underlying socket was already closed. This could lead to an exception that then leave the channel / in an invalid state and so could lead to side-effects like heavy CPU usage.
Modifications:
Catch possible socket exception while try to get the SO_LINGER options from the underlying socket.
Result:
No more race-condition when closing the channel is possible with bad side-effects.
Motivation:
- On the client, cookies should be sorted in decreasing order of path
length. From RFC 6265:
5.4.2. The user agent SHOULD sort the cookie-list in the following
order:
* Cookies with longer paths are listed before cookies with
shorter paths.
* Among cookies that have equal-length path fields, cookies with
earlier creation-times are listed before cookies with later
creation-times.
NOTE: Not all user agents sort the cookie-list in this order, but
this order reflects common practice when this document was
written, and, historically, there have been servers that
(erroneously) depended on this order.
Note that the RFC does not define the path length of cookies without a
path. We sort pathless cookies before cookies with the longest path,
since pathless cookies inherit the request path (and setting a path
that is longer than the request path is of limited use, since it cannot
be read from the context in which it is written).
- On the server, if there are multiple cookies of the same name, only one
of them should be encoded. RFC 6265 says:
Servers SHOULD NOT include more than one Set-Cookie header field in
the same response with the same cookie-name.
Note that the RFC does not define which cookie should be set in the case
of multiple cookies with the same name; we arbitrarily pick the last one.
Modifications:
- Changed the visibility of the 'strict' field to 'protected' in
CookieEncoder.
- Modified ClientCookieEncoder to sort cookies in decreasing order of path
length when in strict mode.
- Modified ServerCookieEncoder to return only the last cookie of a given
name when in strict mode.
- Added a fast path for both strict mode in both client and server code
for cases with only one cookie, in order avoid the overhead of sorting
and memory allocation.
- Added unit tests for the new cases.
Result:
- Cookie generation on client and server is now more conformant to RFC 6265.
Motivation:
The javadocs for ChannelOption.AUTO_CLOSE say the default is false, but the default is currently true.
Modifications:
- Make javadocs consistent with code
Result:
Less confusing docs.
Motiviation:
According to jetty docs the alpn-api should use the provided scope.
Modificaitons:
- change scope to provided for alpn-api
- update for new jdk
Result:
Users of Netty don't run into alpn version conflicts.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4480
Motivation:
exceptionCaught(...) will only handle inbound exceptions which means it makes not much sense to have it also on ChannelOutboundHandler. Because of this we should move it to ChannelInboundHandler.
Modifications:
Add @deprecated annotation to ChannelHandler.exceptionCaught(...).
Result:
Preapre to cleanup the API in later release.
Motivation:
6.7 is the latest stable release in RHEL/CentOS 6 line. Given that most
RHEL/CentOS users have upgraded to 6.7 via yum upgrade, we should bump
our requirement.
Modification:
s/6.6/6.7/g
Result:
'mvn release:*' must be run on RHEL/CentOS 6.7 instead of 6.6.
Motivation:
AbstractEpollStreamChannel has a queue which collects splice events. Splice is assumed not to be the most common use case of this class and thus the splice queue could be initialized in a lazy fashion to save memory. This becomes more significant when the number of connections grows.
Modifications:
- AbstractEpollStreamChannel.spliceQueue will be initialized in a lazy fashion
Result:
Less memory consumption for most use cases
Motivation:
We should use OneTimeTask where possible to reduce object creation.
Modifications:
Replace Runnable with OneTimeTask
Result:
Less object creation
Motivation:
There is a notification ordering issue in DefaultPromise when the lateListener collection is in use. The ordering issue can be observed in situations where a late listener is added to a Future returned from a write operation. It is possible that this future will run after a read operation scheduled on the I/O thread, even if the late listener is added on the I/O thread. This can lead to unexpected ordering where a listener for a write operation which must complete in order for the read operation to happen is notified after the read operation is done.
Modifications:
- If the lateListener collection becomes empty, it should be treated as though it was null when checking if lateListeners can be notified immediatley (instead of executing a task on the executor)
Result:
Ordering is more natural and will not be perceived as being out of order relative to other tasks on the same executor.
Motivation:
If you need to handle a lot of concurrent connections (1M+) the memory footprint can be problem.
Modifications:
- Lazy create the IdentityHashMap that holds the EventExecutor mappings as this is not needed by most users anyway
- Use a sane initial capacity when creating the IdentityHashMap
Result:
Smaller memory footprint of DefaultChannelPipeline
Motivation:
We not need to store another reference to AbstractChannel as we can access it through DefaultChannelHandlerContext.
Modifications:
Remove reference.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
If you start to have 1M+ concurrent connections memory footprint can be come a big issue. We should try to reduce it as much as possible in the core of netty.
Modifications:
- Remove HashMap that was used to store name to ctx mapping. This was only used for validation and access a handler by name. As a pipeline is not expected to be very long (like 100+ handlers) we can just walk the linked list structure to find the ctx with a given name.
Result:
Less memory footprint of the DefaultChannelPipeline.
Motivation:
If we have a lot of writes going on we currently need to lookup the IovArray for each Channel that does writes. This can have quite some perf overhead. We should not need to do this and just store a reference of the IovArray on the EpollEventLoop itself.
Modifications:
- Remove IoArrayThreadLocal
- Store the IoArray in the EventLoop itself
Result:
Less FastThreadLocal lookups
Motivation:
If ChannelOption.ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE is true and the shutdown input operation fails we should not propagate this exception, and instead consider this socket's read as half closed.
Modifications:
- AbstractEpollChannel.shutdownInput should not propagate exceptions when attempting to shutdown the input, but instead should just close the socket
Result:
Users expecting a ChannelInputShutdownEvent will get this event even if the socket is already shutdown, and the shutdown operation fails.
Motivation:
The method setBytes did not work correctly because read-only ByteBuffer
does not allow access to its underlying array.
Modifications:
New case was added for ByteBuffer's that are not direct and do not have an array.
These must be handled by copying the data into a temporary array. Unit test was
added to test this case.
Result:
It is now possible to use read-only ByteBuffer as the source
for the setBytes method.
Motivation:
A new version of ALPN boot has been released.
Modifications:
- Update the pom to pull in this new version
Result:
New JDK get new ALPN boot.
Motivation:
Child classes of ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler may want to override the behavior when a handshake failure is detected.
Modifications:
- Provide a method which can be overriden when a handshake failure is detected.
Result:
Child classes can override ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler handshake failure behavior.
Motivation:
The previous DefaultChannelPipeline#destroy() implementation, introduced in #3156, is suboptimal as it can cause the for loop to continuously spin if the executor used by a given handler is unable to "recognize" the event loop.
It could be objected that it's the custom executor responsibility to properly implement the inEventLoop() method, but some implementetaions might not be able to do that for performance reasons, and even so, it's always better to be safe against API misuse, in particular when it is not possible to fail fast and the alternative is rather some sutle behaviour.
Modifications:
The patch simply avoids the recursive spin by explicitly passing the "in event loop" condition as a boolean parameter, preserving the same guarantees offered by #3156. A unit test has also been added.
Result:
All channel events are correctly called and no high CPU usage is seen anymore.
Motivation:
If netty used as part of application, should be a way to prefix service thread name to easy distinguish such threads (for example, used in IntelliJ Platform)
Modifications:
Introduce system property io.netty.serviceThreadPrefix
Result:
ThreadDeathWatcher thread has a readable name "Netty threadDeathWatcher-2-1" if io.netty.serviceThreadPrefix set to "Netty"
Motivation:
Changing the chache of generated names to use a cache per thread. This will remove the bottleneck when many eventloops are used and names need to generate.
Modifications:
Use a FastThreadLocal to store the cached names.
Result:
Less locking between threads.
Motivation:
We should allow our custom Executor to shutdown quickly.
Modifications:
Call super constructor which correct arguments.
Result:
Custom Executor can be shutdown quickly.
Motivation:
The EPOLL module was not completly respecting the half closed state. It may have missed events, or procssed events when it should not have due to checking isOpen instead of the appropriate shutdown state.
Modifications:
- use FileDescriptor's isShutdown* methods instead of isOpen to check for processing events.
Result:
Half closed code in EPOLL module is more correct.
Motivation:
transport-native-epoll is designed to be specific to Linux. However there is native code that can be extracted out and made to work on more Unix like distributions. There are a few steps to be completely decoupled but the first step is to extract out code that can run in a more general Unix environment from the Linux specific code base.
Modifications:
- Move all non-Linux specific stuff from Native.java into the io.netty.channel.unix package.
- io.netty.channel.unix.FileDescriptor will inherit all the native methods that are specific to file descriptors.
- io_netty_channel_epoll_Native.[c|h] will only have code that is specific to Linux.
Result:
Code is decoupled and design is streamlined in FileDescriptor.
Motivation:
In 4.1 and master the isValid utility has been moved to MathUtil. We should stay consistent for internal APIs.
Modifications:
- Move isValid to MathUtil
Result:
More consistent internal structure across branches.
