Motivation:
BoringSSL allows to customize the way how key signing is done an even offload it from the IO thread. We should provide a way to plugin an own implementation when BoringSSL is used.
Modifications:
- Introduce OpenSslPrivateKeyMethod that can be used by the user to implement custom signing by using ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext.setPrivateKeyMethod(...)
- Introduce static methods to OpenSslKeyManagerFactory which allows to create a KeyManagerFactory which supports to do keyless operations by let the use handle everything in OpenSslPrivateKeyMethod.
- Add testcase which verifies that everything works as expected
Result:
A user is able to customize the way how keys are signed.
Motivation:
During OpenSsl.java initialization, a SelfSignedCertificate is created
during the static initialization block to determine if OpenSsl
can be used.
The default key strength for SelfSignedCertificate was too low if FIPS
mode is used and BouncyCastle-FIPS is the only available provider
(necessary for compliance). A simple fix is to just augment the key
strength to the minimum required about by FIPS.
Modification:
Set default key bit length to 2048 but also allow it to be dynamically set via a system property for future proofing to more stricter security compliance.
Result:
Fixes#9018
Signed-off-by: Farid Zakaria <farid.m.zakaria@gmail.com>
Motivation:
Some SslProvider do support different types of keys and chains. We should fail fast if we can not support the type.
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/issues/455.
Modifications:
- Try to parse key / chain first and if if this fails throw and SslException
- Add tests.
Result:
Fail fast.
Motivation:
A callback may already have stored a initial handshake exception in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine so we should include it when throwing a SslHandshakeException to ensure the user has all the infos when debugging.
Modifications:
Include initial handshake exception
Result:
Include all erros when throwing the SslHandshakeException.
Motivation:
DefaultPromise requires an EventExecutor which provides the thread to notify listeners on and this EventExecutor can never change. We can remove the code that supported the possibility of a changing the executor as this is not possible anymore.
Modifications:
- Remove constructor which allowed to construct a *Promise without an EventExecutor
- Remove extra state
- Adjusted SslHandler and ProxyHandler for new code
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8517.
Motivation:
We do not need to call SSL.setHostNameValidation(...) as it should be done as part of the TrustManager implementation. This is consistent with the JDK implementation of SSLEngine.
Modifications:
Remove call to SSL.setHostNameValidation(...)
Result:
More consistent behaviour between our SSLEngine implementation and the one that comes with the JDK.
Motivation:
We use SSL.setKeyMaterial(...) in our implementation when using the KeyManagerFactory so we should also use it to detect if we can support KeyManagerFactory.
Modifications:
Use SSL.setKeyMaterial(...) as replacement for SSL.setCertificateBio(...)
Result:
Use the same method call to detect if KeyManagerFactory can be supported as we use in the real implementation.
Motivation:
In 42742e233f we already added default methods to Channel*Handler and deprecated the Adapter classes to simplify the class hierarchy. With this change we go even further and merge everything into just ChannelHandler. This simplifies things even more in terms of class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Merge ChannelInboundHandler | ChannelOutboundHandler into ChannelHandler
- Adjust code to just use ChannelHandler
- Deprecate old interfaces.
Result:
Cleaner and simpler code in terms of class-hierarchy.
Motivation:
We have multiple places where we store the exception that was produced by a callback in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine, and so have a lot of code-duplication.
Modifications:
- Consolidate code into a package-private method that is called from the callbacks if needed
Result:
Less code-duplication and cleaner code.
Motivation:
BoringSSL supports offloading certificate validation to a different thread. This is useful as it may need to do blocking operations and so may block the EventLoop.
Modification:
- Adjust ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine to correctly handle offloaded certificate validation (just as we already have code for certificate selection).
Result:
Be able to offload certificate validation when using BoringSSL.
Motivation:
We had a bug which could case ExtendedSSLSession.getPeerSupportedSignatureAlgorithms() return an empty array when using BoringSSL. This testcase verifies we correctly return algorithms after the fix in https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/449.
Modifications:
Add testcase to verify behaviour.
Result:
Ensure we correctly retuen the algorithms.
Motivation:
e9ce5048df added a testcase to ensure we correctly send the alert in all cases but did use a too strict message matching which did not work for BoringSSL as it not uses whitespaces but underscores.
Modifications:
Make the message matching less strict.
Result:
Test pass also when using BoringSSL.
Motivation:
When the verification of the server cert fails because of the used TrustManager on the client-side we need to ensure we produce the correct alert and send it to the remote peer before closing the connection.
Modifications:
- Use the correct verification mode on the client-side by default.
- Update tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8942.
Motivation:
As we now us java8 as minimum java version we can deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter and just move the default implementations into the interfaces. This makes things a bit more flexible for the end-user and also simplifies the class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Mark ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter and ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter as deprecated
- Add default implementations to ChannelInboundHandler / ChannelOutboundHandler
- Refactor our code to not use ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter anymore
Result:
Cleanup class-hierarchy and make things a bit more flexible.
Motivation:
The SSLSession that is returned by SSLEngine.getHandshakeSession() must be able to provide the local certificates when the TrustManager is invoked on the server-side.
Modifications:
- Correctly return the local certificates
- Add unit test
Result:
Be able to obtain local certificates from handshake SSLSession during verification on the server side.
Motivation:
In the past we found a lot of SSL related bugs because of the interopt tests we have in place between different SSLEngine implementations. We should have as many of these interopt tests as possible for this reason.
Modifications:
- Add interopt tests between Conscrypt and OpenSSL SSLEngine implementations
Result:
More tests for SSL.
Motivation:
SSLEngine API has a notion of tasks that may be expensive and offload these to another thread. We did not support this when using our native implementation but can now for various operations during the handshake.
Modifications:
- Support offloading tasks during the handshake when using our native SSLEngine implementation
- Correctly handle the case when NEED_TASK is returned and nothing was consumed / produced yet
Result:
Be able to offload long running tasks from the EventLoop when using SslHandler with our native SSLEngine.
Motivation:
We must only remove ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine from OpenSslEngineMap when engine is destroyed as the verifier / certificate callback may be called multiple times when the remote peer did initiate a renegotiation.
If we fail to do so we will cause an NPE like this:
```

While the exception is kind of harmless (as we will reject the renegotiation at the end anyway) it produces some noise in the logs.
Modifications:
Don't remove engine from map after handshake is complete but wait for it to be removed until the engine is destroyed.
Result:
No more NPE and less noise in the logs.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler needs to close both successful and failed
ChunkInputs. It used to never close successful ones.
Modifications:
* ChunkedWriteHandler always closes ChunkInput before completing
the write promise.
* Ensure only ChunkInput#close() is invoked
on a failed input.
* Ensure no methods are invoked on a closed input.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8875.
Motivation:
fa6a8cb09c introduced correct dispatching of delegated tasks for SSLEngine but did not correctly handle some cases for resuming wrap / unwrap after the task was executed. This could lead to stales, which showed up during tests when running with Java11 and BoringSSL.
Modifications:
- Correctly resume wrap / unwrap in all cases.
- Fix timeout value which was changed in previous commit by mistake.
Result:
No more stales after task execution.
Motivation:
We use outdated EA releases when building and testing with JDK 12 and 13.
Modifications:
- Update versions.
- Add workaround for possible JDK12+ bug.
Result:
Use latest releases
Motivation:
The SSLEngine does provide a way to signal to the caller that it may need to execute a blocking / long-running task which then can be offloaded to an Executor to ensure the I/O thread is not blocked. Currently how we handle this in SslHandler is not really optimal as while we offload to the Executor we still block the I/O Thread.
Modifications:
- Correctly support offloading the task to the Executor while suspending processing of SSL in the I/O Thread
- Add new methods to SslContext to specify the Executor when creating a SslHandler
- Remove @deprecated annotations from SslHandler constructor that takes an Executor
- Adjust tests to also run with the Executor to ensure all works as expected.
Result:
Be able to offload long running tasks to an Executor when using SslHandler. Partly fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7862 and https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7020.
Motivation:
SPDY has been superseded by HTTP/2. Chrome has dropped support in 2016 and GFE no longer negociate it.
Modifications:
* drop codec
* drop examples
* drop constants from `ApplicationProtocolNames`
Result:
SPDY support dropped from Netty 5
Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
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.
Motivation:
As netty 4.x supported Java 6 we had various if statements to check for java versions < 8. We can remove these now.
Modification:
Remove unnecessary if statements that check for java versions < 8.
Result:
Cleanup code.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
* 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:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap() is no longer needed so it could be easily removed and new ConcurrentHashMap<>() inlined instead of invoking PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap().
Modification:
Use ConcurrentHashMap provided by the JDK directly.
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:
Replace "if else" conditions with string switch. It is easier to read the code, for large "if else" constructions switch also could be faster.
Modification:
Replaced "if else" with a string switch.
Result:
Use new language features
Motivation:
The concurrent set is present in Java 8 and above so we can use it instead of own implementation.
Modification:
io.netty.utik.internal.ConcurrentSet replaced with ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet().
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
While we are not yet quite sure if we want to require Java11 as minimum we are at least sure we want to use java8 as minimum.
Modifications:
Change minimum version to java8 and update some tests which failed compilation after this change.
Result:
Use Java8 as minimum and be able to use Java8 features.
Motiviation:
Because of how we implemented the registration / deregistration of an EventLoop it was not possible to wrap an EventLoop implementation and use it with a Channel.
Modification:
- Introduce EventLoop.Unsafe which is responsible for the actual registration.
- Move validation of EventLoop / Channel combo to the EventLoop
- Add unit test that verifies that wrapping works
Result:
Be able to wrap an EventLoop and so add some extra functionality.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler should report write operation as failed
in case *any* chunked was not written. Right now this is not
true for the last chunk.
Modifications:
* Check if the appropriate write operation was succesfull when
reporting the last chunk
* Skip writing chunks if the write operation was already marked
as "done"
* Test cases to cover write failures when dealing with chunked input
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8700
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:
Users who want to construct a `FlushConsolidationHandler` with a default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` but non-default `consolidateWhenNoReadInProgress` may benefit from having an easy way to get the default "flush after flushes" count.
Modifications:
- Moved default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` value to a public constant.
- Adjusted Javadoc accordingly.
Result:
Default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` is accessible to callers.
Motivation:
During some other work I noticed we do not have any tests to ensure we correctly use SSLSessionBindingEvent. We should add some testing.
Modifications:
- Added unit test to verify we correctly implement it.
- Ignore the test when using Conscrypt as it not correctly implements it.
Result:
More tests for custom SSL impl.
Motivation:
We missed to skip a few tests that depend on the KeyManagerFactory if the used OpenSSL version / flavor not support it.
Modifications:
Add missing overrides.
Result:
Testsuite also passes for example when using LibreSSL.
Motivation:
In windows if the project is in a path that contains whitespace,
resources cannot be accessed and tests fail.
Modifications:
Adds ResourcesUtil.java in netty-common. Tests use ResourcesUtil.java to access a resource.
Result:
Being able to build netty in a path containing whitespace
Motivation:
SSLSession.putValue / getValue / removeValue / getValueNames must be thread-safe as it may be called from multiple threads. This is also the case in the OpenJDK implementation.
Modifications:
Guard with synchronized (this) blocks to keep the memory overhead low as we do not expect to have these called frequently.
Result:
SSLSession implementation is thread-safe.
Motivation:
ByteBuf supports “marker indexes”. The intended use case for these is if a speculative operation (e.g. decode) is in process the user can “mark” and interface and refer to it later if the operation isn’t successful (e.g. not enough data). However this is rarely used in practice,
requires extra memory to maintain, and introduces complexity in the state management for derived/pooled buffer initialization, resizing, and other operations which may modify reader/writer indexes.
Modifications:
Remove support for marking and adjust testcases / code.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8535.
