Motivation:
Channels need to have their configurations applied before we can call out to user-code via handlerAdded and initChannel.
Modification:
This adds tests for this behaviour, which already works correctly.
Result:
Better test coverage.
Motivation:
File.createTempFile(String, String)` will create a temporary file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir'. The permissions on that file utilize the umask. In a majority of cases, this means that the file that java creates has the permissions: `-rw-r--r--`, thus, any other local user on that system can read the contents of that file.
This can be a security concern if any sensitive data is stored in this file.
This was reported by Jonathan Leitschuh <jonathan.leitschuh@gmail.com> as a security problem.
Modifications:
Use Files.createTempFile(...) which will use safe-defaults when running on java 7 and later. If running on java 6 there isnt much we can do, which is fair enough as java 6 shouldnt be considered "safe" anyway.
Result:
Create temporary files with sane permissions by default.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we copy the attributes and options when bootstrap the channel as otherwise we may change the underlying Entry.
This is similar to what was reported in https://github.com/netty/netty-incubator-codec-quic/issues/152.
Modifications:
- Do a copy and re-use methods
- Add unit tests
Result:
Don't affect attributes / options of channels that are already bootstrapped
Motivation:
Allowing null handlers allows for more convenient idioms in
conditionally adding handlers, e.g.,
ch.pipeline().addLast(
new FooHandler(),
condition ? new BarHandler() : null,
new BazHandler()
);
Modifications:
* Change addFirst(..) and addLast(..) to skip null handlers, rather than
break or short-circuit.
* Add new unit tests.
Result:
* Makes addFirst(..) and addLast(..) behavior more consistent
* Resolves https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10728
Motivation:
Since GraalVM version 19.3.0, instances of java.net.InetAddress (and its subclasses Inet4Address and Inet6Address) are not allowed in native image heap (that is, they cannot be stored in static fields of classes initialized at build time or be reachable through static fields of such classes). When building a native image, it makes sense to initialize at build time as many classes as possible.
But some fields of some classes in Netty (for example, NetUtil.LOCALHOST4) contain InetAddress instances. If a program is using code path that makes it possible to reach such fields at build time initialization, it becomes impossible to build a native image initializing core Netty classes initialized at runtime. An example of such a program is a client that uses netty-dns.
Modifications:
- Add netty-testsuite-native-image-client Maven module to test that such an example program can be built after the corresponding fixes
- Add native-image.properties to resolver-dns module to move initialization of some classes to runtime (some of them are parsing configuration during initialization, so it makes no sense to initialize them at build time; for others, it's needed to avoid InetAddress reachability at build time)
- Add substitutions for NetUtil.LOCALHOST4, NetUtil.LOCALHOST6 and NetUtil.LOCALHOST to overcome the InetAddress-related prohibition
- Extract some initialization code from NetUtil to NetUtilInitializations to allow it to be used by the substitutions
Result:
A client program using netty-dns with --initialize-at-build-time=io.netty builds successfully
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
junit deprecated Assert.assertThat(...)
Modifications:
Use MatcherAssert.assertThat(...) as replacement for deprecated method
Result:
Less deprecation warnings
Motivation:
In some benchmarks closing the Channel attributes to a lot of overhead due the call of fillInStackTrace(). We should reduce this overhead.
Modifications:
- Create a StacklessClosedChannelException and use it to reduce overhead.
- Only call ChannelOutboundBuffer.failFlushed(...) when there was a flushed message at all.
Result:
Less performance overhead when closing the Channel
Motivation:
AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue had a bug which could lead to an empty queue while still report bytes left. This was due the fact that we decremented the pending bytes before draining the queue one-by-one. The problem here is that while the queue is drained we may notify the promise which may add again buffers to the queue for which we never decrement the bytes while we drain these
Modifications:
- Decrement the pending bytes every time we drain a buffer from the queue
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10286
Motivation:
In AbstractChannelHandlerContext we had some code where we tried to guard against endless loops caused by exceptions thrown by exceptionCaught(...) that would trigger exceptionCaught again. This code was proplematic for two reasons:
- It is quite expensive as we need to compare all the stacks
- We may end up not notify another handlers exceptionCaught(...) if in our exeuction stack we triggered actions that will cause an exceptionCaught somewhere else in the pipeline
Modifications:
- Just remove the detection code as we already handle everything correctly when we invoke exceptionCaught(...)
- Add unit tests
Result:
Ensure we always notify correctly and also fixes performance issue reported as https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10165
Motivation:
Parameter maxCount needs the unit test.
Modifications:
1. Change the conditional statement to avoid the ineffective maxCount (enhance the robustness of the code merely).
2. Add the unit test for maxCount.
Result:
Enable this parameter to be tested.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we always close the Channel when we see an exception during bootstrapping it.
Modification:
Ensure we correct close the Channel if we see an exception during retrieving the Resolver from the group while bootstrapping.
Result:
Fixes#10109

Motivation:
Current pipeline handler replace tests are replacing handler with same name.
we need test that test handler can renamed, old handlers are removed from pipeline.
Modification:
There is coverage missing related to renaming of handlers
Result:
Adds missing tests
Co-authored-by: phani254 <phani254@yahoo.com>
Motivation:
NioEventLoopTest.testChannelsRegistered sometimes fails due a race which is related to how SelectionKey and Selector is implemented in the JDK. In the current implementation it will "lazy" remove SelectionKeys from the Set which means we may still have these included sometimes when we use size() to get the number of SelectionKeys.
Modifications:
Just retry to read the number of registered Channels if we still see 2
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9895
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9458 changed how we handled ChannelOptions internally to use a ConcurrentHashMap. This unfortunally had the side-effect that the ordering may be affected and not stable anymore. Here the problem is that sometimes we do validation based on two different ChannelOptions (for example we validate high and low watermarks against each other). Thus even if the user specified the options in the same order we may fail to configure them.
Modifications:
- Use again a LinkedHashMap to preserve order
- Add unit test
Result:
Apply ChannelOptions in correct and expected order
Motivation
This test is failing intermittently and upon inspection has a race
condition.
Modification
Fix race condition by waiting for async release calls to complete prior
to closing the pool.
Result
Hopefully fixed flakey test
Motivation:
The Channel Pool tests commonly use the same fixed local address String. This
has been observed to result in test failures if a single test fails and cleanup
is not done properly, or if tests are run in parallel. Also each test should
close any channel pool objects or maps to make sure resources are reclaimed.
Modifications:
- Use a random string for the address on each test to reduce the chance of
collision.
- close all ChannelPool and ChannelPoolMap objects at the end of each test
Result:
Less likely to observe spurious failures due to LocalAddress collisions and more
complete test cleanup.
Motivation:
In #9830 the get/remove/close methods implementation changed to avoid
deadlocks on event loops. The change involved modifying the methods to
close the managed ChannelPools asynchronously and return immediately.
While this behavior might be fine for get/remove, it is changing what
a user expects from a close() method and after returning from close()
there might be still resources open.
Modifications:
This change is a follow-up for #9830 to preserve the synchronous
behavior of the AbstractChannelPoolMap#close() method.
Result:
AbstractChannelPoolMap#close() returns once the managed pools have
been closed.
Motivation:
In certain scenarios mutliple concurrent AbstractChannelPoolMap
operations might be called from event loops that handle also
ChannelPool close operations. If the map uses synchronous close
it could end up blocking the event loop and if multiple threads
are waiting for each other a deadlock might occur.
Modifications:
Previously #9226 introduced a closeAsync operation for
FixedChannelPool, which is now extended to SimpleChannelPool class.
The AbstractChannelPoolMap now uses the closeAsync operations when
closing redundant or removed SimpleChannelPool instances.
Result:
The AbstractChannelPoolMap get/remove operations will not wait
until the pools are closed as they will happen asynchronously and
avoid situations that could cause the event loop being blocked in
deadlocks.
Motivation
The event loop implementations had become somewhat tangled over time and
work was done recently to streamline EpollEventLoop. NioEventLoop would
benefit from the same treatment and it is more straighforward now that
we can follow the same structure as was done for epoll.
Modifications
Untangle NioEventLoop logic and mirror what's now done in EpollEventLoop
w.r.t. the volatile selector wake-up guard and scheduled task deadline
handling.
Some common refinements to EpollEventLoop have also been included - to
use constants for the "special" deadline/wakeup volatile values and to
avoid some unnecessary calls to System.nanoTime() on task-only
iterations.
Result
Hopefully cleaner, more efficient and less fragile NIO transport
implementation.
Motivation
NioEventLoopTest#testChannelsRegistered() fails intermittently due to
use of SingleThreadEventLoop#channelsRegistered() which is not
threadsafe and unreliable when called from outside the event loop.
Modifications
Add static registeredChannels method to NioEventLoopTest and
AbstractSingleThreadEventLoopTest to call from the tests via event loop
instead of directly.
Result
Hopefully fewer test failures
Motivation
The current event loop shutdown logic is quite fragile and in the
epoll/NIO cases relies on the default 1 second wait/select timeout that
applies when there are no scheduled tasks. Without this default timeout
the shutdown would hang indefinitely.
The timeout only takes effect in this case because queued scheduled
tasks are first cancelled in
SingleThreadEventExecutor#confirmShutdown(), but I _think_ even this
isn't robust, since the main task queue is subsequently serviced which
could result in some new scheduled task being queued with much later
deadline.
It also means shutdowns are unnecessarily delayed by up to 1 second.
Modifications
- Add/extend unit tests to expose the issue
- Adjust SingleThreadEventExecutor shutdown and confirmShutdown methods
to explicitly add no-op tasks to the taskQueue so that the subsequent
event loop iteration doesn't enter blocking wait (as looks like was
originally intended)
Results
Faster and more robust shutdown of event loops, allows removal of the
default wait timeout
Motivation:
Due a bug we did not always correctly calculate the next buffer size in AdaptiveRecvByteBufAllocator.
Modification:
Fix calculation and add unit test
Result:
Correct calculation is always used.
Motivation:
We need to update the doubly-linked list nodes while holding a lock via synchronized in all cases as otherwise we may end-up with a corrupted pipeline. We missed this when calling remove0(...) due handlerAdded(...) throwing an exception.
Modifications:
- Correctly hold lock while update node
- Add assert
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9528
Motivation:
We observed some test-failues sometimes in the CI which happened if sc.close() was not completed before the next test did run. If this happened we would fail the bind(...) as the LocalAddress was still in use.
Modifications:
Await the close before return
Result:
Fixes race in testsuite which resulted in FixedChannelPoolTest.testAcquireNewConnection to fail if FixedChannelPoolTest.testCloseAsync() did run before it.
Motivation:
c9aaa93d83b5b571dbc733d2632232db82b3d884 added the ability to specify an EventLoopTaskQueueFactory but did place it under MultithreadEventLoopGroup while not really belongs there.
Modifications:
Make EventLoopTaskQueueFactory a top-level interface
Result:
More logical code layout.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is desirable to be able to use a different Queue implementation for the EventLoop of a Channel. This is currently not possible without resort to reflection.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor to Nio|Epoll|KQueueEventLoopGroup which allows to specify a factory which is used to create the task queue. This was the user can override the default implementation.
- Add test
Result:
Be able to change Queue that is used for the EventLoop.
Motivation:
In the current implementation, the synchronous close() method for FixedChannelPool returns
after scheduling the channels to close via a single threaded executor asynchronously. Closing a channel
requires event loop group, however, there might be a scenario when the application has closed
the event loop group after the sync close() completes. In this scenario an exception is thrown
(event loop rejected the execution) when the single threaded executor tries to close the channel.
Modifications:
Complete the close function only after all the channels have been close and introduce
closeAsync() method for cases when the current/existing behaviour is desired.
Result:
Close function would completely when the channels have been closed
Motivation:
Sometimes it is beneficial to be able to set a parent Channel in EmbeddedChannel if the handler that should be tested depend on the parent.
Modifications:
- Add another constructor which allows to specify a parent
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9228.
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:
SimpleChannelPool provides ability to provide custom callbacks/handlers
on major events such as "channel acquired", "channel created" and
"channel released". In the current implementation, when a request to
acquire a channel is made for the first time, the internal channel pool
creates the channel lazily. This triggers the "channel created" callback
but does not invoke the "channel acquired" callback. This is contrary to
caller expectations who assumes that "channel acquired" will be invoked
at the end of every successful acquire call. It also leads to an
inconsistent API experience where the acquired callback is sometimes
invoked and sometimes it isn't depending on wheather the internal
mechanism is creating a new channel or re-using an existing one.
Modifications:
Invoke acquired callback consistenly even when creating a new channel
and modify the tests to support this behaviour
Result:
Consistent experience for the caller of acquire API. Every time they
call the API, the acquired callback will be invoked.
Motivation
The optimization in #8988 didn't correctly handle the specific case
where the channel hasDisconnect == false, and a
ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter subclass overrides only the close(ctx,
promise) method without also overriding the disconnect(ctx, promise)
method.
Modifications
Adjust AbstractChannelHandler.disconnect(...) method to divert to
close(...) in !hasDisconnect case before computing target context for
the event.
Result
Fixes#9092
Motivation:
When a Channel was closed its isActive() method must return false.
Modifications:
First check for isOpen() before isBound() as isBound() will continue to return true even after the underyling fd was closed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9026.
Motivation:
Invoking ChannelHandlers is not free and can result in some overhead when the ChannelPipeline becomes very long. This is especially true if most handlers will just forward the call to the next handler in the pipeline. When the user extends Channel*HandlerAdapter we can easily detect if can just skip the handler and invoke the next handler in the pipeline directly. This reduce the overhead of dispatch but also reduce the call-stack in many cases.
This backports https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8723 and https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8987 to 4.1
Modifications:
Detect if we can skip the handler when walking the pipeline.
Result:
Reduce overhead for long pipelines.

Motivation:
0a0da67f43354473af9861407749d02fe62e8f6c introduced a testcase which is flacky. We need to fix it and enable it again.
Modifications:
Mark flaky test as ignore.
Result:
No flaky build anymore.
Motivation:
Systems depending on Netty may benefit (telemetry, alternative even loop scheduling algorithms) from knowing the number of channels assigned to each EventLoop.
Modification:
Expose the number of channels registered in the EventLoop via SingleThreadEventLoop.registeredChannels.
Result:
Fixes#8276.
Motivation:
`DefaultFileRegion.transferTo` will return 0 all the time when we request more data then the actual file size. This may result in a busy spin while processing the fileregion during writes.
Modifications:
- If we wrote 0 bytes check if the underlying file size is smaller then the requested count and if so throw an IOException
- Add DefaultFileRegionTest
- Add a test to the testsuite
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8868.
Motivation:
To make it easier to understand why a Channel was closed previously and so why the operation failed with a ClosedChannelException we should include the original Exception.
Modifications:
- Store the original exception that lead to the closed Channel and include it in the ClosedChannelException that is used to fail the operation.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8862.
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.
Motivation:
We need to release the message when we throw an IllegalArgumentException because of a validation failure of the promise to eliminate the risk of a memory leak.
Modifications:
- Consistently release the message before rethrow
- Add testcase.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8765.
Motivation:
testChannelInitializerEventExecutor() did sometimes fail as we sometimes miss to count down the latch. This can happen when we remove the handler from the pipeline before channelUnregistered(...) was called for it.
Modifications:
Countdown the latch in handlerRemoved(...).
Result:
Fix flaky test.
Motivation:
testWriteTaskRejected was racy as we did not ensure we dispatched all events to the executor before shutting it down.
Modifications:
Add a latch to ensure we dispatched everything.
Result:
Fix racy test that failed sometimes before.
Motivation:
Due a race in DefaultChannelPipeline / AbstractChannelHandlerContext it was possible to have only handlerRemoved(...) called during tearing down the pipeline, even when handlerAdded(...) was never called. We need to ensure we either call both of none to guarantee a proper lifecycle of the handler.
Modifications:
- Enforce handlerAdded(...) / handlerRemoved(...) semantics / ordering
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8676 / https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6536 .
Motivation:
8331248671b9c0ea07cf8dbdfa5d8d2f89fdf459 did make some changes to fix a race in ChannelInitializer when using with a custom EventExecutor. Unfortunally these where a bit racy and so the testcase failed sometimes.
Modifications:
- More correct fix when using a custom EventExecutor
- Adjust the testcase to be more correct.
Result:
Proper fix for https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8616.
Motivation:
The ChannelInitializer may be invoked multipled times when used with a custom EventExecutor as removal operation may be done asynchronously. We need to guard against this.
Modifications:
- Change Map to Set which is more correct in terms of how we use it.
- Ensure we only modify the internal Set when the handler was removed yet
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8616.
Motivation:
When the Selector throws an IOException during our EventLoop processing we should rebuild it and transfer the registered Channels. At the moment we will continue trying to use it which will never work.
Modifications:
- Rebuild Selector when an IOException is thrown during any select*(...) methods.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8566.
Motivation:
There is a racy UnsupportedOperationException instead because the task removal is delegated to MpscChunkedArrayQueue that does not support removal. This happens with SingleThreadEventExecutor that overrides the newTaskQueue to return an MPSC queue instead of the LinkedBlockingQueue returned by the base class such as NioEventLoop, EpollEventLoop and KQueueEventLoop.
Modifications:
- Catch the UnsupportedOperationException
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fix#8475
Motivation:
It has shown that the used test timeout may be too low when the CI is busy.
Modifications:
Increase timeout to 3 seconds.
Result:
Less false-positives.
