Motivation:
We currently try to access the the domain search list via reflection on windows which will print a illegal access warning when using Java9 and later.
Modifications:
Add a guard against the used java version.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9500.
Motivation:
It is possible that the user uses a too big EDNS0 setting for the MTU and so we may receive a truncated datagram packet. In this case we should try to detect this and retry via TCP if possible
Modifications:
- Fix detecting of incomplete records
- Mark response as truncated if we did not consume the whole packet
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9365
Motivation:
We should only ever close the underlying tcp socket once we received the envelope to ensure we never race in the test.
Modifications:
- Only close socket once we received the envelope
- Set REUSE_ADDR
Result:
More robust test
Motivation:
testTruncatedWithTcpFallback was flacky as we may end up closing the socket before we could read all data. We should only close the socket after we succesfully read all data.
Modifications:
Move socket.close() to finally block
Result:
Fix flaky test and so make the CI more stable again.
Motivation:
We should only try to use reflection to access default nameservers when using Java8 and lower as otherwise we will produce an Illegal reflective access warning like:
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by io.netty.resolver.dns.DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider
Modifications:
Add Java version check before try to use reflective access.
Result:
No more warning when Java9+ is used.
Motivation:
OOME is occurred by increasing suppressedExceptions because other libraries call Throwable#addSuppressed. As we have no control over what other libraries do we need to ensure this can not lead to OOME.
Modifications:
Only use static instances of the Exceptions if we can either dissable addSuppressed or we run on java6.
Result:
Not possible to OOME because of addSuppressed. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9151.
Motivation:
Sometimes DNS responses can be very large which mean they will not fit in a UDP packet. When this is happening the DNS server will set the TC flag (truncated flag) to tell the resolver that the response was truncated. When a truncated response was received we should allow to retry via TCP and use the received response (if possible) as a replacement for the truncated one.
See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766.
Modifications:
- Add support for TCP fallback by allow to specify a socketChannelFactory / socketChannelType on the DnsNameResolverBuilder. If this is set to something different then null we will try to fallback to TCP.
- Add decoder / encoder for TCP
- Add unit tests
Result:
Support for TCP fallback as defined by https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766 when using DnsNameResolver.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9021 did apply some changes to filter out duplicates InetAddress when calling resolveAll(...) to mimic JDK behaviour. Unfortunally this also introduced a regression as we should not filter duplicates when the user explicit calls resolveAll(DnsQuestion).
Modifications:
- Only filter duplicates if resolveAll(String) is used
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes regressions introduces by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9021
Motivation:
075cf8c02e introduced a change to allow resolve(...) to notify as soon as the preferred record was resolved. This works great but we should also allow the user to configure that we want to do the same for resolveAll(...), which means we should be able to notify as soon as all records for a preferred record were resolved.
Modifications:
- Add a new DnsNameResolverBuilder method to allow configure this (use false as default to not change default behaviour)
- Add unit test
Result:
Be able to speed up resolving.
Motivation:
At the moment resolve(...) does just delegate to resolveAll(...) and so will only notify the future once all records were resolved. This is wasteful as we are only interested in the first record anyway. We should notify the promise as soon as one record that matches the preferred record type is resolved.
Modifications:
- Introduce DnsResolveContext.isCompleteEarly(...) to be able to detect once we should early notify the promise.
- Make use of this early detecting if resolve(...) is called
- Remove FutureListener which could lead to IllegalReferenceCountException due double releases
- add unit test
Result:
Be able to notify about resolved host more quickly.
Motivation:
We did not correctly calculate the new ttl as we did forget to add `this.`
Modifications:
Add .this and so correctly calculate the TTL
Result:
Use correct TTL for authoritative nameservers when updating these.
Motivation:
To closely mimic what the JDK does we should not try to resolve AAAA records if the system itself does not support IPv6 at all as it is impossible to connect to this addresses later on. In this case we need to use ResolvedAddressTypes.IPV4_ONLY.
Modifications:
Add static method to detect if IPv6 is supported and if not use ResolvedAddressTypes.IPV4_ONLY.
Result:
More consistent behaviour between JDK and our resolver implementation.
Motivation:
At the moment we basically drop all non prefered addresses when calling DnsNameResolver.resolveAll(...). This is just incorrect and was introduced by 4cd39cc4b3. More correct is to still retain these but sort the returned List to have the prefered addresses on the beginning of the List. This also ensures resolve(...) will return the correct return type.
Modifications:
- Introduce PreferredAddressTypeComperator which we use to sort the List so it will contain the preferred address type first.
- Add unit test to verify behaviour
Result:
Include not only preferred addresses in the List that is returned by resolveAll(...)
Motivation:
During investigating some other bug I noticed that we log with warn level if we fail to notify the promise due the fact that it is already full-filled. This is not correct and missleading as there is nothing wrong with it in general. A promise may already been fullfilled because we did multiple queries and one of these was successful.
Modifications:
- Change log level to trace
- Add unit test which before did log with warn level but now does with trace level.
Result:
Less missleading noise in the log.
Motivation:
DnsNameResolver#resolveAll(String) may return duplicate results in the event that the original hostname DNS response includes an IP address X and a CNAME that ends up resolving the same IP address X. This behavior is inconsistent with the JDK’s resolver and is unexpected to retrun a List with duplicate entries from a resolveAll(..) call.
Modifications:
- Filter out duplicates
- Add unit test
Result:
More consistent and less suprising behavior
Motivation:
We did not have any unit tests that queries for TXT records.
Modifications:
Add unit test to query TXT records.
Result:
More test-coverage.
Motivation:
When using multiple nameservers and a nameserver respond with NXDOMAIN we should only fail the query if the nameserver in question is authoritive or no nameservers are left to try.
Modifications:
- Try next nameserver if NXDOMAIN was returned but the nameserver is not authoritive
- Adjust testcase to respect correct behaviour.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8261
Motivation:
We do not correctly detect loops when follow CNAMEs and so may try to follow it without any success.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect CNAME loops
- Do not cache CNAME entries which point to itself
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8687.
Motivation:
Andoid does not contain javax.naming.* so we should not try to use it to prevent a NoClassDefFoundError on init.
Modifications:
Only try to use javax.naming.* to retrieve nameservers when not using Android.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8654.
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:
Some of transports support gathering writes when using datagrams. For example this is the case for EpollDatagramChannel. We should minimize the calls to flush() to allow making efficient usage of sendmmsg in this case.
Modifications:
- minimize flush() operations when we query for multiple address types.
- reduce GC by always directly schedule doResolveAll0(...) on the EventLoop.
Result:
Be able to use sendmmsg internally in the DnsNameResolver.
Motivation:
We should refresh the DNS configuration each 5 minutes to be able to detect changes done by the user. This is inline with what OpenJDK is doing
Modifications:
Refresh config every 5 minutes.
Result:
Be able to consume changes made by the user.
Motivation:
It should be possible to build a DnsNameResolver with a null resolvedAddressTypes, defaulting then to DEFAULT_RESOLVE_ADDRESS_TYPES (see line 309).
Sadly, `preferredAddressType` is then called on line 377 with the original parameter instead of the instance attribute, causing an NPE when it's null.
Modification:
Call preferredAddressType with instance attribuet instead of constructor parameter.
Result:
No more NPE
Motivation:
ba594bcf4a added a utility to parse searchdomains defined in /etc/resolv.conf but did not correctly handle the case when multiple are defined that are seperated by either whitespace or tab.
Modifications:
- Correctly parse multiple entries
- Add unit test.
Result:
Correctly parse multiple searchdomain entries.
