Motivation:
We can use lambdas now as we use Java8.
Modification:
use lambda function for all package, #8751 only migrate transport package.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
SslContext implementations have tons of contructors, most of them deprecated as we want to enforce builder usage in Netty 5.
Cleaning them up is a requirement prior to introducing new parameters such as hostname verification.
Modifications:
* Make SslContext implementations classes and constructors package private, users are supposed to use the SslContextBuilder.
* Drop all but one constructor. The exception for now is with Jdk(Client|Server)Context that still has an additional constructor that takes an ApplicationProtocolNegotiator parameter. ApplicationProtocolNegotiator usage is supposed to be dropped in favor of ApplicationProtocolConfig and this constructor is only used in tests, so I guess it will be dropped to in a follow up.
Result:
Deprecated code dropped. Path cleaned up for introducing new features with having to introduce yet another constructor.
* Decouble EventLoop details from the IO handling for each transport to allow easy re-use of code and customization
Motiviation:
As today extending EventLoop implementations to add custom logic / metrics / instrumentations is only possible in a very limited way if at all. This is due the fact that most implementations are final or even package-private. That said even if these would be public there are the ability to do something useful with these is very limited as the IO processing and task processing are very tightly coupled. All of the mentioned things are a big pain point in netty 4.x and need improvement.
Modifications:
This changeset decoubled the IO processing logic from the task processing logic for the main transport (NIO, Epoll, KQueue) by introducing the concept of an IoHandler. The IoHandler itself is responsible to wait for IO readiness and process these IO events. The execution of the IoHandler itself is done by the SingleThreadEventLoop as part of its EventLoop processing. This allows to use the same EventLoopGroup (MultiThreadEventLoupGroup) for all the mentioned transports by just specify a different IoHandlerFactory during construction.
Beside this core API change this changeset also allows to easily extend SingleThreadEventExecutor / SingleThreadEventLoop to add custom logic to it which then can be reused by all the transports. The ideas are very similar to what is provided by ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (that is part of the JDK). This allows for example things like:
* Adding instrumentation / metrics:
* how many Channels are registered on an SingleThreadEventLoop
* how many Channels were handled during the IO processing in an EventLoop run
* how many task were handled during the last EventLoop / EventExecutor run
* how many outstanding tasks we have
...
...
* Implementing custom strategies for choosing the next EventExecutor / EventLoop to use based on these metrics.
* Use different Promise / Future / ScheduledFuture implementations
* decorate Runnable / Callables when submitted to the EventExecutor / EventLoop
As a lot of functionalities are folded into the MultiThreadEventLoopGroup and SingleThreadEventLoopGroup this changeset also removes:
* AbstractEventLoop
* AbstractEventLoopGroup
* EventExecutorChooser
* EventExecutorChooserFactory
* DefaultEventLoopGroup
* DefaultEventExecutor
* DefaultEventExecutorGroup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8514 .
Motivation:
We should leave the responsibility to choose the EventExecutor for a ChannelHandler to the user for more flexibility and to keep things simple.
Modification:
- Change method signatures to take an EventExecutor and not an EventExecutorGroup
- Remove special ChannelOption that allowed to enable / disable EventExecutor pinning
Result:
Simpler and more flexible code.
Motivation:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
Since Java 7 we can automatically close resources in try () construction.
Modification:
Changed all try catches in the code with autoclose try (resource)
Result:
Less boiler-plate
Motivation:
At the moment it’s possible to have a Channel in Netty that is not registered / assigned to an EventLoop until register(...) is called. This is suboptimal as if the Channel is not registered it is also not possible to do anything useful with a ChannelFuture that belongs to the Channel. We should think about if we should have the EventLoop as a constructor argument of a Channel and have the register / deregister method only have the effect of add a Channel to KQueue/Epoll/... It is also currently possible to deregister a Channel from one EventLoop and register it with another EventLoop. This operation defeats the threading model assumptions that are wide spread in Netty, and requires careful user level coordination to pull off without any concurrency issues. It is not a commonly used feature in practice, may be better handled by other means (e.g. client side load balancing), and therefore we propose removing this feature.
Modifications:
- Change all Channel implementations to require an EventLoop for construction ( + an EventLoopGroup for all ServerChannel implementations)
- Remove all register(...) methods from EventLoopGroup
- Add ChannelOutboundInvoker.register(...) which now basically means we want to register on the EventLoop for IO.
- Change ChannelUnsafe.register(...) to not take an EventLoop as parameter (as the EventLoop is supplied on custruction).
- Change ChannelFactory to take an EventLoop to create new Channels and introduce ServerChannelFactory which takes an EventLoop and one EventLoopGroup to create new ServerChannel instances.
- Add ServerChannel.childEventLoopGroup()
- Ensure all operations on the accepted Channel is done in the EventLoop of the Channel in ServerBootstrap
- Change unit tests for new behaviour
Result:
A Channel always has an EventLoop assigned which will never change during its life-time. This ensures we are always be able to call any operation on the Channel once constructed (unit the EventLoop is shutdown). This also simplifies the logic in DefaultChannelPipeline a lot as we can always call handlerAdded / handlerRemoved directly without the need to wait for register() to happen.
Also note that its still possible to deregister a Channel and register it again. It's just not possible anymore to move from one EventLoop to another (which was not really safe anyway).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8513.
Motivation:
In the test we assume some semantics on how RST is done that are not true for Windows so we should skip it.
Modifications:
Skip test when on windows.
Result:
Be able to run testsuite on windows. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8571.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
This transport is unique because it uses Java's blocking IO (java.io / java.net) under the hood. However it is not clear if this transport is actually useful so it should be removed.
Modifications:
- Remove OIO transport and RXTX transport which depend on it.
- Remove Oio*Sctp* implementations
- Remove PerThreadEventLoop* which was only used by OIO transport.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8510.
Motivation:
The UDT transport was marked as @Deprecated a long time ago as the underlying native library is not really maintained anymore. We should remove it as part of Netty 5.
Modifications:
Remove UDT transport
Result:
Dont try to maintain a transport which uses an unmaintained native lib internally.
Motivation:
TLSv1.3 support is included in java11 and is also supported by OpenSSL 1.1.1, so we should support when possible.
Modifications:
- Add support for TLSv1.3 using either the JDK implementation or the native implementation provided by netty-tcnative when compiled against openssl 1.1.1
- Adjust unit tests for semantics provided by TLSv1.3
- Correctly handle custom Provider implementations that not support TLSv1.3
Result:
Be able to use TLSv1.3 with netty.
Motivation:
In some of our tests we not correctly init the SSLEngine before trying to perform a handshake which can cause an IllegalStateException. While this not happened in previous java releases it does now on Java11 (which is "ok" as its even mentioned in the api docs). Beside this how we selected the ciphersuite to test renegotation was not 100 % safe.
Modifications:
- Correctly init SSLEngine before using it
- Correctly select ciphersuite before testing for renegotation.
Result:
More correct tests and also pass on next java11 EA release.
Motivation:
This reverts commit 4b728cd5bc as it was fixes in Java 11 ea+17.
Modification:
Revert previous added workaround as this is fixed in Java 11 now.
Result:
No more workaround for test included.
Motivation:
Epoll and Kqueue channels have internal state which forces
a single read operation after channel construction. This
violates the Channel#read() interface which indicates that
data shouldn't be delivered until this method is called.
The behavior is also inconsistent with the NIO transport.
Modifications:
- Epoll and Kqueue shouldn't unconditionally read upon
initialization, and instead should rely upon Channel#read()
or auto_read.
Result:
Epoll and Kqueue are more consistent with NIO.
Motivation:
Java11 disallow draining any remaining bytes from the socket if a write causes a connection reset. This should be completely safe to do. At the moment if a write is causing a connection-reset you basically loose all the pending bytes that are sitting on the socket and are waiting to be read.
This happens because SocketOutputStream.write(…) may call AbstractPlainSocketImpl.setConnectionReset(…). Once this method is called any read(…) call will just throw a SocketException without even attempt to read any remaining data.

- http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/net-dev/2018-May/011511.html
Modifications:
Tolarate if remaining bytes could not be read when using OIO.
Result:
Be able to build Netty and run testsuite while using Java11
Motivation:
We added a workaround for Java 11 as it not produced a connect-reset when SO_LINGER with 0 was set and NIO was used. This was fixed in the latest ea release of Java 11:
- http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/ea54197f4fe4
- https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203059
Modifications:
Revert workaround.
Result:
Test that Java 11 behave the same way as earlier Java versions again.
Motivation:
Java 11 will be out soon, so we should be able to build (and run tests) netty.
Modifications:
- Add dependency that is needed till Java 11
- Adjust tests so these also pass on Java 11 (SocketChannelImpl.close() behavious a bit differently now).
Result:
Build also works (and tests pass) on Java 11.
Motivation:
Java 10 is out so we should be able to build netty with it (and run the tests).
Modifications:
- Update Mockito and JBoss Marshalling to support Java 10
- Fix unit test to not depend on specific cipher which is not present in Java 10 anymore
Result:
Netty builds (and runs all tests) when using Java 10
Motivation:
DatagramPacket.recipient() doesn't return the actual destination IP, but the IP the app is bound to.
Modification:
- IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR option is enabled for UDP sockets, which allows retrieval of ancillary information containing the original recipient.
- _recvFrom(...) function from transport-native-unix-common/src/main/c/netty_unix_socket.c is modified such that if IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR is set, recvmsg is used instead of recvfrom; enabling the retrieval of the original recipient.
- DatagramSocketAddress also contains a 'local' address, representing the recipient.
- EpollDatagramChannel is updated to return the retrieved recipient address instead of the address the channel is bound to.
Result:
Fixes#4950.
Motivation:
AbstractNioByteChannel will detect that the remote end of the socket has
been closed and propagate a user event through the pipeline. However if
the user has auto read on, or calls read again, we may propagate the
same user events again. If the underlying transport continuously
notifies us that there is read activity this will happen in a spin loop
which consumes unnecessary CPU.
Modifications:
- AbstractNioByteChannel's unsafe read() should check if the input side
of the socket has been shutdown before processing the event. This is
consistent with EPOLL and KQUEUE transports.
- add unit test with @normanmaurer's help, and make transports consistent with respect to user events
Result:
No more read spin loop in NIO when the channel is half closed.
Motivation:
We called the wrong super method in the test and also had a few unused imports.
Modifications:
Fix super method call and cleanup.
Result:
More correct test and cleanup.
Motivation:
b215794de3 recently introduced a change in behavior where writeSpinCount provided a limit for how many write operations were attempted per flush operation. However when the write quantum was meet the selector write flag was not cleared, and the channel unsafe flush0 method has an optimization which prematurely exits if the write flag is set. This may lead to no write progress being made under the following scenario:
- flush is called, but the socket can't accept all data, we set the write flag
- the selector wakes us up because the socket is writable, we write data and use the writeSpinCount quantum
- we then schedule a flush() on the EventLoop to execute later, however it the flush0 optimization prematurely exits because the write flag is still set
In this scenario the socket is still writable so the EventLoop may never notify us that the socket is writable, and therefore we may never attempt to flush data to the OS.
Modifications:
- When the writeSpinCount quantum is exceeded we should clear the selector write flag
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7729
