Motivation
The IdleStateHandler tracks write() idleness on message granularity but does not take into consideration that the client may be just slow and has managed to consume a subset of the message's bytes in the configured period of time.
Modifications
Adding an optional configuration parameter to IdleStateHandler which tells it to observe ChannelOutboundBuffer's state.
Result
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6150
Motivation:
In Netty, currently, the HttpPostRequestEncoder only supports POST, PUT, PATCH and OPTIONS, while the RFC 7231 allows with a warning that GET, HEAD, DELETE and CONNECT use a body too (but not TRACE where it is explicitely not allowed).
The RFC in chapter 4.3 says:
"A payload within a XXX request message has no defined semantics;
sending a payload body on a XXX request might cause some existing
implementations to reject the request."
where XXX can be replaced by one of GET, HEAD, DELETE or CONNECT.
Current usages, on particular in REST mode, tend to use those extra HttpMethods for such queries.
So this PR proposes to remove the current restrictions, leaving only TRACE as explicitely not supported.
Modification:
In the constructor, where the test is done, replacing all by checking only against TRACE, and adding one test to check that all methods are supported or not.
Result:
Fixes#6138.
Motivation:
cb139043f3 introduced special handling of response to HEAD requests. Due a bug we failed to handle FullHttpResponse correctly.
Modifications:
Correctly handle FullHttpResponse for HEAD requests.
Result:
Works as expected.
Motivation:
`SimpleChannelPool` subclasses are likely to override the `connectChannel` method, and are likely to clobber the cloned `Bootstrap` handler in the process. To allow subclasses to properly notify the pool listener of new connections, we should expose (at least) the `handler` property of the pool to subclasses.
Modifications:
Expose `SimpleChannelPool` properties to subclasses via `protected` getters.
Result:
Subclasses can now use the bootstrap, handler, health checker, and health-check-on-release preoperties from their superclass.
Motivation:
We used a MPSC queue in ThreadDeathWatcher and checked if it empty via isEmpty() from multiple threads if very unlucky. Depending on the implementation this is not safe and may even produce things like live-locks.
Modifications:
Change to use a MPMC queue.
Result:
No more risk to run into issues when multiple threads call watch(...) / unwatch(...) concurrently.
Motivation:
DefaultChannelId provides a regular expression which validates if a user provided MAC address is valid. This regular expression may allow invalid MAC addresses and also not allow valid MAC addresses.
Modifications:
- Introduce a MacAddressUtil#parseMac method which can parse and validate the MAC address at the same time. The regular expression check before hand is additional overhead if we have to parse the MAC address.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6132.
Motivation:
We should have a unit test which explicitly tests a HTTP message being split between multiple ByteBuf objects.
Modifications:
- Add a unit test to HttpRequestDecoderTest which splits a request between 2 ByteBuf objects
Result:
More unit test coverage for HttpObjectDecoder.
Motivation:
`PromiseCombiner` is really handy, but it's not obvious how to use it from its existing documentation/method signatures.
Modification:
- Added javadoc comments to explain the theory of operation of `PromiseCombiner`.
- Generalized `PromiseCombiner` to work with `Futures` so it's clearer that the things for which it's listening won't be modified.
Result:
`PromiseCombiner` is easier to understand.
Motivation:
Enables optional .startsWith() matching of req.uri() with websocketPath.
Modifications:
New checkStartsWith boolean option with default false value added to both WebSocketServerProtocolHandler and WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler. req.uri() matching is based on this option.
Result:
By default old behavior matching via .equal() is preserved. To use checkStartsWith use constructor shortcut: new WebSocketServerProtocolHandler(websocketPath, true) or fill this flag on full form of constructor among other options.
Motivation:
On some platforms the PID my be bigger then 4194304 so we should not limit it to 4194304.
Modifications:
Only check that the PID is a valid Integer
Result:
No more warnings on systems where the PID is bigger then 4194304.
Motivation:
When profiling it is sometimes needed to still have the native library file avaible. We should allow to disable the explicit deletion and just delete it when the JVM stops.
This is related to #6110
Modifications:
Add io.netty.native.deleteLibAfterLoading system property which allows to disable the explicit delete after laoding
Result:
Possible to profile native libraries better.
Motivation:
Our ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine does not support compression so we should explicit disable it.
This is related to #3722.
Modifications:
Set SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION option.
Result:
Not use compression.
Motivation:
Currently clients attempting to send headers that are too large recieve
a RST frame. This makes it harder than needed for implementations on top
of netty to handle this in a graceful way.
Modifications:
When the Decoder throws a StreamError of type FRAME_SIZE_ERROR, the
Http2ConnectionHandler will now attempt to send an Http2Header with
status 431 and endOfStream=true
Result:
Implementations now do not have to subclass parts of netty to handle
431s
Motivation:
In later Java8 versions our Atomic*FieldUpdater are slower then the JDK implementations so we should not use ours anymore. Even worse the JDK implementations provide for example an optimized version of addAndGet(...) using intrinsics which makes it a lot faster for this use-case.
Modifications:
- Remove methods that return our own Atomic*FieldUpdaters.
- Use the JDK implementations everywhere.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
To keep our code clean we should fail the build when unused c code is detected.
Modifications:
- Add '-Wunused-variable' to build flags
Result:
Cleaner code.
request with a 'content-encoding: chunked' header
Motivation:
It is valid to send a response to a HEAD request that contains a transfer-encoding: chunked header, but it is not valid to include a body, and there is no way to do this using the netty4 HttpServerCodec.
The root cause is that the netty4 HttpObjectEncoder will transition to the state ST_CONTENT_CHUNK and the only way to transition back to ST_INIT is through the encodeChunkedContent method which will write the terminating length (0\r\n\r\n\r\n), a protocol error when responding to a HEAD request
Modifications:
- Keep track of the method of the request and depending on it handle the response differently when encoding it.
- Added a unit test.
Result:
Correclty handle HEAD responses that are chunked.
Motivation:
The 2 second timeout to bootstrap the test can timeout on the build servers. We should increase the timeout so it is less likely under powered or over worked machines are less likely to generate false failures.
Modifications:
- HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandlerTest setup timeout changed from 2 to 5 seconds
Result:
Less false build failures.
Motivation:
We should assert that the leak aware buffers correctly close the ResourceLeakTracker in the unit tests.
Modifications:
- Keep track of NoopResourceLeakTrackers and check if these were closed once the test completes
- Fix bugs in tests so the buffers are all released.
Result:
Better tests for leak aware buffers
Motivation:
c2f4daa739 added a unit test but used a too small test timeout.
Modifications:
Increase timeout.
Result:
Test should have enough time to complete on the CI.
Motivation:
Often its useful to run the tests with different commandline arguments (like different system properties).
Modifications:
Introduce argLine.javaProperties which can be set from the commandline as well to add arguments that should be append when run the unit tests.
Result:
More flexible way to run the tests.
Motivation:
InternalLoggerFactory either sets a default logger factory
implementation based on the logging implementations on the classpath, or
applications can set a logger factory explicitly. If applications wait
too long to set the logger factory, Netty will have already set a logger
factory leading to some objects using one logging implementation and
other objets using another logging implementation. This can happen too
if the application tries to set the logger factory twice, which is
likely a bug in the application. Yet, the Javadocs for
InternalLoggerFactory warn against this saying that
InternalLoggerFactory#setLoggerFactory "should be called as early as
possible and shouldn't be called more than once". Instead, Netty should
guard against this.
Modications:
We replace the logger factory field with an atomic reference on which we
can do CAS operations to safely guard against it being set twice. We
also add an internal holder class that captures the static interface of
InternalLoggerFactory that can aid in testing.
Result:
The logging factory can not be set twice, and applications that want to
set the logging factory must do it before any Netty classes are
initialized (or the default logger factory will be set).
Motivation:
If caches are disabled it does not make sense to schedule a task that will free up memory consumed by the caches.
Modifications:
Do not schedule if caches are disabled.
Result:
Less overhead.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we handle the case when BUFFER_OVERFLOW happens during unwrap but the readable bytes are bigger then the expected applicationBufferSize. Otherwise we may produce an IllegalArgumentException as we will try to allocate a buffer with capacity < 0.
Modifications:
- Guard against this case.
- Ensure we not double release buffer on exception when doing unwrap.
Result:
No more exception when running testsuite with java 9.
Motivation:
boringssl uses different messages for the ssl alerts which are all uppercase. As we try to match case as well this fails in SSLErrorTest as we expect lower-case.
This test was introduced by 9b7fb2f362.
Modifications:
Ensure we first translate everything to lower-case before doing the assert.
Result:
SSLErrorTest also pass when boringssl is used.
Motivation:
When attempting to flamegraph netty w/ epoll it was noticed the stacks are lost going from
java to epoll lib.
Modifications:
added the -fno-omit-framepointer flag to compiler flags to ensure the fp is kept intact
Result:
Flamegraphs will now show native code in the same stack as java code using perf-java-flames
Motivation:
e102a008b6 changed a conditional where previously the NIO ServerChannel would not be closed in the event of an exception.
Modifications:
- Restore the logic prior to e102a008b6 which does not automatically close ServerChannels for IOExceptions
Result:
NIO ServerChannel doesn't close automatically for an IOException.
Motivation:
We should not catch ConcurrentModificationException as this can never happen because things are executed on the EventLoop thread.
Modifications:
Remove try / catch
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
We need to ensure the tracked object can not be GC'ed before ResourceLeak.close() is called as otherwise we may get false-positives reported by the ResourceLeakDetector. This can happen as the JIT / GC may be able to figure out that we do not need the tracked object anymore and so already enqueue it for collection before we actually get a chance to close the enclosing ResourceLeak.
Modifications:
- Add ResourceLeakTracker and deprecate the old ResourceLeak
- Fix some javadocs to correctly release buffers.
- Add a unit test for ResourceLeakDetector that shows that ResourceLeakTracker has not the problems.
Result:
No more false-positives reported by ResourceLeakDetector when ResourceLeakDetector.track(...) is used.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not call handshake() when the engine is already closed. Beside this our implementation of isOutboundDone() was not correct as it not took the pending data in the outbound buffer into acount (which may be also generated as part of an ssl alert). Beside this we also called SSL_shutdown(...) while we were still in init state which will produce an error and so noise in the log with openssl later versions.
This is also in some extend related to #5931 .
Modifications:
- Ensure we not call handshake() when already closed
- Correctly implement isOutboundDone()
- Not call SSL_shutdown(...) when still in init state
- Added test-cases
Result:
More correct behaviour of our openssl SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
When non SSL data is passed into SSLEngine.unwrap(...) we need to throw an SSLException. This was not done at the moment. Even worse we threw an IllegalArgumentException as we tried to allocate a direct buffer with capacity of -1.
Modifications:
- Guard against non SSL data and added an unit test.
- Make code more consistent
Result:
Correct behaving SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
Java9 will be released soon so we should ensure we can compile netty with Java9 and run all our tests. This will help to make sure Netty will be usable with Java9.
Modification:
- Add some workarounds to be able to compile with Java9, note that the full profile is not supported with Java9 atm.
- Remove some usage of internal APIs to be able to compile on java9
- Not support Alpn / Npn and so not run the tests when using Java9 for now. We will do a follow up PR to add support.
Result:
Its possible to build netty and run its testsuite with Java9.
Motivation:
While working on #6087 some buffer leaks showed up.
Modifications:
Correctly release buffers.
Result:
No more buffer leaks in memcache and stomp codec tests.
Motivation:
562d8d2200 added codec-smtp but we missed to add it to the all jar.
Modifications:
Include codec-smtp in the all jar.
Result:
Include all codecs in the all jar.
Motivation:
PooledByteBufAllocatorTest uses an ArrayQueue but access it from multiple threads (not concurrently but still from different threads). This may leak to memory visibility issues.
Modifications:
- Use a concurrent queue
- Some cleanup
Result:
Non racy test code.
Motivation:
If a user allocates a lot from outside the EventLoop we may end up creating a lot of caches in the PooledByteBufAllocator. This may be wasteful and so it may be useful for an other to configure that caches should only be used from within EventLoops.
Modifications:
Add new constructor which allows to configure the caching behaviour.
Result:
More flexible configuration of PooledByteBufAllocator possible
Motivation:
42fba015ce changed the implemention of ResourceLeakDetector to improve performance. While this was done a branch was missed that can be removed. Beside this using a Boolean as value for the ConcurrentMap is sub-optimal as when calling remove(key, value) an uncessary instanceof check and cast is needed on each removal.
Modifications:
- Remove branch which is not needed anymore
- Replace usage of Boolean as value type of the ConcurrentMap and use our own special type which only compute hash-code one time and use a == operation for equals(...) to reduce overhead present when using Boolean.
Result:
Faster and cleaner ResourceLeakDetector.
Motivation:
We missed to set active = true in EpollServerDomainSocketChannel.doBind(...) which also means that channelActive(...) was never triggered.
Modifications:
Correct set active = true in doBind(...)
Result:
EpollServerDomainSocketChannel is correctly set to active when bound.
Motivation:
We support using Netty without sun.misc.Unsafe, so we should also support building it without it. This way we can also run all tests without sun.misc.Unsafe and so see if it works as expected.
Modifications:
Correctly skip tests that depend on sun.misc.Unsafe if its not present or -Dio.netty.noUnsafe=true is used.
Result:
Be able to build netty without sun.misc.Unsafe
Motivation:
SwappedByteBuf.unwrap() not returned the wrapped buffer but the buffer that was wrapped by the original buffer. This is not correct.
Modifications:
Correctly return wrapped buffer and fix test.
Result:
SwappedByteBuf.unwrap() works as expected.
Motivation:
It's important that we do not pass in the original ChannelPromise to safeClose(...) as when flush(...) will throw an Exception it will be propagated to the AbstractChannelHandlerContext which will try to fail the promise because of this. This will then fail as it was already completed by safeClose(...).
Modifications:
Create a new ChannelPromise and pass it to safeClose(...).
Result:
No more confusing logs because of failing to fail the promise.
Motivation:
RedisEncoderTest did not release all buffers correctly which could lead to leaks.
Modifications:
Call ByteBuf.release() after buffer is read.
Result:
No more leaks in RedisEncoderTest.
Motivation:
We had a few tests PooledByteBufAllocatorTests which used parkNanos(...) to give a resource enough time to get destroyed. This is race and may not be good enough.
Modifications:
Ensure the ThreadCache is really destroyed.
Result:
No more racy tests that depend on ThreadCaches.
Motivation:
According to https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt 4.4, filename after "content-disposition" is optional and arbitrary (does not need to match a real filename).
Modifications:
This change supports an extra addBodyFileUpload overload to precise the filename (default to File.getName). If empty or null this argument should be ignored during encoding.
Result:
- A backward-compatible addBodyFileUpload(String, File, String, boolean) to use file.getName() as filename.
- A new addBodyFileUpload(String, String, File, String, boolean) overload to precise filename
- Couple of tests for the empty use case
Motivation:
We are now more careful to flush alerts that are generated when errors occur. We should also be more careful in unit tests to release any buffers that may be queued due to potential errors wich result in alerts.
Modifications:
- When SslHandlerTest uses EmbeddedChannel we should always call finishAndReleaseAll
Results:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6057
