Motivation:
2b65258568 only partially addressed the synchronization issues that are present in FlowControlHandlerTest. A few tests are attempting to validate state changes made across an EventLoop thread and the JUnit thread but are not properly synchronized.
Modifications:
- Ensure that conditions which verify expectations set in another thread have synchronization gates to ensure the event has actually occurred.
- Remove the message counter verification in favor of using individual CountDownLatch objects
Result:
FLowControlHanderTest has less race conditions which may lead to test failures.
Motivation
OpenSslContext is expecting Java's PrivateKey and X509Certificate objects as input
(for JdkSslContext API compatibility reasons) but doesn't really use them beyond
turning them into PEM/PKCS#8 strings.
This conversion can be entirely skipped if the user can pass in private keys and
certificates in a format that Netty's OpenSSL code can digest.
Modifications
Two new classes have been added that act as a wrapper around the pre-encoded byte[]
and also retain API compatibility to JdkSslContext.
Result
It's possible to pass PEM encoded bytes straight into OpenSSL without having to
parse them (e.g. File to Java's PrivateKey) and then encode them (i.e. PrivateKey
into PEM/PKCS#8).
File pemPrivateKeyFile;
byte[] pemBytes = readBytes(pemPrivateKeyFile);
PemPrivateKey pemPrivateKey = PemPrivateKey.valueOf(pemBytes);
SslContextBuilder.forServer(pemPrivateKey)
.sslProvider(SslProvider.OPENSSL)
Motivation:
JCTools supports both non-unsafe, unsafe versions of queues and JDK6 which allows us to shade the library in netty-common allowing it to stay "zero dependency".
Modifications:
- Remove copy paste JCTools code and shade the library (dependencies that are shaded should be removed from the <dependencies> section of the generated POM).
- Remove usage of OneTimeTask and remove it all together.
Result:
Less code to maintain and easier to update JCTools and less GC pressure as the queue implementation nt creates so much garbage
Motivation:
OpenSslClientContext / OpenSslServerContext can never be garbage collected as both are part of a reference to a callback that is stored as global reference in jni code.
Modifications:
Ensure the callbacks are static and so not hold the reference.
Result:
No more leak due not collectable OpenSslClientContext / OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.wrap will only encrypt at most 1 buffer per call. We may be able to encrypt multiple buffers per call.
Modifications:
- OpensslEngine.wrap should continue encrypting data until there is an error, no more data, or until the destination buffer would be overflowed.
Result:
More encryption is done per OpenSslEngine.wrap call
Motivation:
CVE-2016-4970
OpenSslEngine.wrap calls SSL_write which may return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ, and if in this condition there is nothing to read from the BIO the OpenSslEngine and SslHandler will enter an infinite loop.
Modifications:
- Use the error code provided by OpenSSL and go back to the EventLoop selector to detect if the socket is closed
Result:
OpenSslEngine correctly handles the return codes from OpenSSL and does not enter an infinite loop.
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine calls rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation in a scenario where the number of handshakes has not been observed to change. The number of handshakes has only been observed to change after readPlaintextData is called.
Modifications:
- Remove the call to rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegation before calls to readPlaintextData
Result:
Less code.
Motivation:
When netty is used with open ssl provider and client authentication the following errors can occur:
error:140D9115:SSL routines:ssl_get_prev_session:session id context uninitialized
error:140A1175:SSL routines:ssl_bytes_to_cipher_list:inappropriate fallback
error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
Modifications:
Set the session id context in OpenSslServerContext so that sessions which use client authentication
which are cached have the same context id value.
Result:
Client authentication now works with open ssl provider.
Motivation:
DomainMappingBuilder should have been named as DomainNameMappingBuilder
because it builds a DomainNameMapping.
Modifications:
- Add DomainNameMappingBuilder that does the same job with
DomainMappingBuilder
- Deprecate DomainMappingBuilder and delegate its logic to
DomainNameMappingBuilder
- Remove the references to the deprecated methods and classes related
with domain name mapping
- Miscellaneous:
- Fix Javadoc of DomainNameMapping.asMap()
- Pre-create the unmodifiable map in DomainNameMapping
Result:
- Consistent naming
- Less use of deprecated API
Related: #4333#4421#5128
Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to include more details in the IdleStateEvents that are produced by the IdleStateHandler. For this users should be able to create their own IdleStateEvents that encapsulate more informations.
Modifications:
- Make IdleStateEvent constructor protected and the class non-final
- Add protected method to IdleStateHandler that users can override and so create their own IdleStateEvents.
Result:
More flexible and customizable IdleStateEvents / IdleStateHandler
Motivation:
We should zero-out the private key as soon as possible when we not need it anymore.
Modifications:
zero out the private key before release the buffer.
Result:
Limit the time the private key resist in memory.
Motivation:
FlowControlHandlerTest attempts to validate the expected contents of the underlying queue in FlowControlHandler. However the condition which triggers the check is too early and the queue contents may not yet contain all expected objects. For example a CountDownLatch is counted down in a handler's channelRead which is after the FlowControlHandler in the pipeline. At this point if there is a thread context switch the queue may not yet contain all the expected objects and checking the queue contents is not valid.
Modifications:
- Remove checking the queues contents in FLowControlHandlerTest and instead only check the empty condition at the end of the tests
Result:
FlowControlHandlerTest won't fail due to invalid checks of the contents of the queue.
Motivation:
The current note reads as if this class is dangerous and advises the reader to "understand what this class does".
Modifications:
Rewrite the Javadoc note to describe what fingerprint checks are and what problems remain.
Result:
Clearer description which no longer causes the impression this class is dangerous.
Motivations
The test SniHandlerTest#testSniWithApnHandler() does not actually
involve SNI: given the client setup, the ClientHello in the form of hex
strings is not actually written to the wire, so the server never receives that.
We may need to write in somewhere else (e.g., channelActive()) instead of in
initChannel() in order for the hex strings to reach the server. So here
what's actually going on is an ordinary TLS C/S communication without SNI.
Modifications
The client part is modified to enable SNI by using an SslHandler with an
SSLEngine created by io.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext#newEngine(), where
the server hostname is specified. Also, more clauses are added to verify that
the SNI is indeed successful.
Results
Now the test verifies that both SNI and APN actually happen and succeed.
Motivation:
Some handlers such as HttpObjectDecoder can emit more than one event per read()
which leads to problems in downstream handlers that expect only one event and hope
that ChannelConfig#setAutoRead(false) prevents further events being sent while they're
processing the one they've just received.
Modifications:
A new handler called FlowControlHandler that feeds off read() and isAutoRead() and acts
as a holding buffer if auto reading gets turned off and more events arrive while auto reading
is off.
Result:
Fixes issues such as #4895.
Motivation:
Some applications may use alternative methods of loading the tcnative JNI symbols. We should support this use case.
Modifications:
Separate the loading and initialzation of the tcnative library so that each can fail independently.
Result:
Fixes#5043
Motivation:
Sometimes a user only has access to a preconfigured SSLContext but still would like to use our ssl sub-system. For this situations it would be very useful if the user could create a JdkSslContext instance from an existing SSLContext.
Modifications:
- Create new public constructors in JdkSslContext which allow to wrap an existing SSLContext and make the class non-abstract
- Mark JdkSslServerContext and JdkSslClientContext as deprecated as the user should not directly use these.
Result:
It's now possible to create an JdkSslContext from an existing SSLContext.
Motivation:
fcbeebf6df introduced a unit test to verify ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler is compatible with SniHandler. However only the server attempts ALPN and verifies that it completes and the client doesn't verify the handshake is completed. This can lead to the client side SSL engine to prematurely close and throw an exception.
Modifications:
- The client should wait for the SSL handshake and ALPN to complete before the test exits.
Result:
SniHandlerTest.testSniWithApnHandler is more reliable.
Motivation:
ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler attempts to get a reference to an SslHandler in handlerAdded, but when SNI is in use the actual SslHandler will be added to the pipeline dynamically at some later time. When the handshake completes ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler throws an IllegalStateException because its reference to SslHandler is null.
Modifications:
- Instead of saving a reference to SslHandler in handlerAdded just search the pipeline when the SslHandler is needed
Result:
ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler support SniHandler.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5066
Motivation:
There are some use cases when a client may only be willing to read from a channel once
its previous write is finished (eg: serial dispatchers in Finagle). In this case, a
connection with SslHandler installed and ctx.channel().config().isAutoRead() == false
will stall in 100% of cases no matter what order of "channel active", "write", "flush"
events was.
The use case is following (how Finagle serial dispatchers work):
1. Client writeAndFlushes and waits on a write-promise to perform read() once it's satisfied.
2. A write-promise will only be satisfied once SslHandler finishes with handshaking and
sends the unencrypted queued message.
3. The handshaking process itself requires a number of read()s done by a client but the
SslHandler doesn't request them explicitly assuming that either auto-read is enabled
or client requested at least one read() already.
4. At this point a client will stall with NEED_UNWRAP status returned from underlying engine.
Modifiations:
Always request a read() on NEED_UNWRAP returned from engine if
a) it's handshaking and
b) auto read is disabled and
c) it wasn't requested already.
Result:
SslHandler is now completely tolerant of whether or not auto-read is enabled and client
is explicitly reading a channel.
Motivation:
We should throw a more helpful exception when a non PKCS#8 key is used by the user.
Modifications:
Change exception message to give a hint what is wrong.
Result:
Easier for user to understand whats wrong with their used key.
Motivation:
SSLContext.buildTrustManagerFactory(...) builds a KeyStore to
initialize the TrustManagerFactory from an array of X509Certificates,
assuming that array is a chain and that each certificate will have a
unique Subject Distinguised Name.
However, the collection of certificates used as trust anchors is generally
not a chain (it is an unordered collection), and it is legitimate for it
to contain multiple certificates with the same Subject DN.
The existing code uses the Subject DN as the alias name when filling in
the `KeyStore`, thereby overwriting other certificates with the same
Subject DN in this collection, so some certificates may be discarded.
In addition, the code related to building trust managers can take an array of
X509Certificate instances to use as trust anchors. The variable name is
usually trustCertChain, and the documentation refers to them as a "chain".
However, while it makes sense to talk about a "chain" from a keymanager
point of view, these certificates are just an unordered collection in a
trust manager. (There is no chaining requirement, having the Subject DN
matching its predecessor's Issuer DN.)
This can create confusion to for users not used with PKI concepts.
Modifications:
SSLContext.buildTrustManagerFactory(...) now uses a distinct alias for each
array (simply using a counter, since this name is never used for reference
later). This patch also includes a unit test with CA certificates using the
same Subject DN.
Also renamed trustCertChain into trustCertCollection, and changed the
references to "chain" in the Javadoc.
Result:
Each loaded certificate now has a unique identifier when loaded, so it is
now possible to use multiple certificates with the same Subject DN as
trust anchors.
Hopefully, renaming the parameter should also reduce confusion around PKI
concepts.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we call ctx.flush() before closing the actual channel when an handshake failure took place. If we miss to do so we may not send all pending data to the remote peer which also include SSL alerts.
Modifications:
Ensure we call ctx.flush() before ctx.close() on a handshake error.
Result:
All pending data (including SSL alerts) are written to the remote peer on a handshake error.
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslClientContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslClientContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we do all checks inside of the try / catch block so we free native memory that was allocated in the constructor of the super class in a timely manner.
Modifications:
Move all checks inside of the try block.
Result:
Correctly release native memory (and not depend on the finalizer) when a check in the constructors fails
Motivation:
A user may use a private key which is encrypted with an empty password. Because of this we should only handle a null password in a special way.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle private key that is encrypted with empty password.
- Make OpenSsl*Context implementions consistent in terms of initialization in the constructor.
Result:
Correctly support private key that is encrypted with empty password.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains shared dynamic libraries for all platforms (including fedora).
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to try and load the fedora library if the OS is Linux and the platform specified library fails before using the default lib.
Result:
True uber support.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains the shared libraries for all platforms.
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to first check for a platform-specific lib before using the default lib.
Result:
uber support.
Motivation:
Depending on the actual CertificateException we should set the correct alert type so it will be sent back to the remote peer and so make it easier for them to fix it.
Modification:
Correctly set the alert and not always just use a general alert.
Result:
It's easier for the remote peer to fix the problems.
Motivation:
Commit 108dc23cab introduced a workaround due to a JDK crash when GCM cipher was used during an unwrap operation. Attempting to reproduce this issue with the latest JDK (1.8.0_72-b15) demonstrate that this issue no longer exists while it can be reliably reproduced on earlier JDKs (1.8.0_25-b17 and earlier)
Modifications:
- Remove the copy-to-heap-buffer workaround for JDK engine
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3256
Motivation:
netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork was released, we should upgrade. Also we should skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used because boringssl does not support renegotiation.
Modifications:
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork13
- Skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used.
Result:
Use newest version of netty-tcnative and be able to build if boringssl is used.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's easier to get keys/certificates as `InputStream`s than it is to
get an actual `File`. This is especially true when operating in a container
environment and `getResourceAsInputStream` is the best way to load resources
packaged with an application.
Modifications:
- Add read-from-`InputStream` methods to `PemReader`
- Allow `SslContext` to get keys/certificates from `InputStreams`
- Add `InputStream`-based setters for key/trust managers to `SslContextBuilder`
Result:
Callers may pass an `InputStream` instead of a `File` to `SslContextBuilder`.
Motivation:
OpenSslContext constructor fails with a UnsupportedOperationException if Unsafe is not present on the system.
Modifications:
Make OpenSslContext work also when Unsafe is not present by fallback to using JNI to get the memory address.
Result:
Using OpenSslContext also works on systems without Unsafe.
Motivation:
We need to enable SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER when using OpenSslContext as the memory address of the buffer that is passed to OpenSslEngine.wrap(...) may change during calls and retries. This is the case as
if the buffer is a heap-buffer we will need to copy it to a direct buffer to hand it over to the JNI layer. When not enable this mode we may see errors like: 'error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING: bad write retry'.
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/issues/100.
Modifications:
Explitict set mode to SSL.SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS | SSL.SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER . (SSL.SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS was used before implicitly).
Result:
No more 'error:1409F07F:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_PENDING: bad write retry' possible when writing heap buffers.
Motivation:
When using SslProvider.OPENSSL we currently not handle SNI on the client side.
Modifications:
Correctly enable SNI when using clientMode and peerHost != null.
Result:
SNI works even with SslProvider.OPENSSL.
Motivation:
See #3411. A reusable ArrayList in InternalThreadLocalMap can avoid allocations in the following pattern:
```
List<...> list = new ArrayList<...>();
add something to list but never use InternalThreadLocalMap
return list.toArray(new ...[list.size()]);
```
Modifications:
Add a reusable ArrayList to InternalThreadLocalMap and update codes to use it.
Result:
Reuse a thread local ArrayList to avoid allocations.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
When an SSL record contains an invalid extension data, SniHandler
currently throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException, which is not optimal.
Modifications:
- Do strict index range checks
Result:
No more unnecessary instantiation of exceptions and their stack traces
Motivation:
Not all SSLEngine implementations permit beginHandshake being called while a handshake is in progress during the initial handshake. We should ensure we only go through the initial handshake code once to prevent unexpected exceptions from being thrown.
Modifications:
- Only call beginHandshake if there is not currently a handshake in progress
Result:
SslHandler's handshake method is compatible with OpenSSLEngineImpl in Android 5.0+ and 6.0+.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4718
Motivation:
We incorrectly added the trustCertChain as certificate chain when OpenSslClientContext was created. We need to correctly add the keyCertChain.
Modifications:
Correctly add whole keyCertChain.
Result:
SSL client auth is working when usin OpenSslClientContext and more then one cert is contained in the certificate chain.
Motivation:
Attempts to enable SSL protocols which are currently disabled fail when using the OpenSslEngine. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4736
Modifications:
Clear out all options that have disabled SSL protocols before attempting to enable any SSL protocol.
Result:
setEnabledProtocols works as expected.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we flush out all pending data when an SslException accours so the remote peer receives all alerts.
Modifications:
Ensure we call ctx.flush() when needed.
Result:
Correctly receive alerts in all cases on the remote peer.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we add the correct handshake error to the SSLHandshakeException before throwing it when failing the
handshake.
Modifications:
Use the correct error string when creating the SSLHandshakeException.
Result:
Correct SSLHandshakeException message included.
Motivation:
Sometimes a user want to do async mappings in the SniHandler as it is not possible to populate a Mapping up front.
Modifications:
Add AsyncMapping interface and make SniHandler work with it.
Result:
It is possible to do async mappings for SNI
Motivation:
As we can only handle handshake commands to parse SNI we should try to skip alert and change cipher spec commands a few times before we fallback to use a default SslContext.
Modifications:
- Use default SslContext if no application data command was received
- Use default SslContext if after 4 commands we not received a handshake command
- Simplify code
- Eliminate multiple volatile fields
- Rename SslConstants to SslUtils
- Share code between SslHandler and SniHandler by moving stuff to SslUtils
Result:
Correct handling of non handshake commands and cleaner code.
Motivation:
Android 5.0 (API version 21) has a bug which not correctly set the bytesConsumed of SSLEngineResult when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED. Because of this we need to special handle the status and so workaround the Android bug.
Modifications:
- Break the unwrap for (;;) loop when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED and bytesConsumed == 0 && bytesProduced == 0.
Result:
SslHandler works with all known version of Android.
Motivation:
There are a few buffer leaks related to how Unpooled.wrapped and Base64.encode is used.
Modifications:
- Fix usages of Bas64.encode to correct leaks
- Clarify interface of Unpooled.wrapped* to ensure reference count ownership is clearly defined.
Result:
Reference count code is more clearly defined and less leaks are possible.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap when the handshake is started as otherwise we may produce a memory leak when the OpenSslEngine is created but not actually used. This can for example happen if we encounter a connection refused from the remote peer. In this case we will never remove the OpenSslEngine from the OpenSslEngineMap and so it will never be collected (as we hold a reference). This has as affect that the finalizer will never be run as well.
Modifications:
- Lazy add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap to elimate possible leak.
- Call OpenSslEngine.shutdown() when SslHandler is removed from the ChannelPipeline to free memory asap in all cases.
Result:
No more memory leak with OpenSslEngine if connection is refused.
Motivation:
We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make
Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result,
our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections.
Modifications:
- Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and
npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections
from pom.xml
- Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info
Result:
Cleaner pom.xml
Motivation:
- Javadoc is not correct (#4353)
- WriteTimeoutHandler does not always cancel the timeout task (#2973)
Modifications:
Fix the javadoc and cleanup timeout task in handlerRemoved
Result:
WriteTimeoutHandler's javadoc describes the correct behavior and it will cancel timeout tasks when it's removed.
Motivation:
As we not used Unpooled anymore for allocate buffers in Base64.* methods we need to ensure we realease all the buffers.
Modifications:
Correctly release buffers
Result:
No more buffer leaks
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine now tests ALPN behavior. However it is possible that OpenSSL is present, but the version does not support ALPN. This will result in test failures instead of just skipping the test.
Modifications:
- Skip ALPN tests in OpenSslEngineTest if the version of OpenSSL does not support ALPN
Result:
Tests don't fail due to unsupported feature in OpenSSL.
Motivation:
Currently there are no tests for OpenSSL Engine,
only for JdkSSL engine.
Modifications:
Common methods from `JdkSslEngine` test moved
to `SSLEngineTest`, JdkSslEngine now implements
NPN and ALPN tests.
Result:
OpenSSL Engine is now covered with unit tests.
Motivation:
Javadoc reports errors about invalid docs.
Modifications:
Fix some errors reported by javadoc.
Result:
A lot of javadoc errors are fixed by this patch.
Motivation:
There are some wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Modifications:
Fix the wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Result:
These links will work correctly in javadoc.
Motivation:
ChunkedInput.readChunk currently takes a ChannelHandlerContext object as a parameters. All current implementations of this interface only use this object to get the ByteBufAllocator object. Thus taking a ChannelHandlerContext as a parameter is more restrictive for users of this API than necessary.
Modifications:
- Add a new method readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
- Deprecate readChunk(ChannelHandlerContext) and updates all implementations to call readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
Result:
API that only requires ByteBufAllocator to use ChunkedInput.
Motivation:
FileInputStream opened by SelfSignedCertificate wasn't closed.
Modifications:
Use a try-finally to close the opened FileInputStream.
Result:
FileInputStream will be closed properly.
Related: #4470#4473
Motivation:
A user might want to:
- implement dynamic mapping from hostname to SslContext
- server large number of domain names whose SslContext can be
initialized lazily and destroyed when unused
Modifications:
- Let SniHandler accept Mapping<String, SslContext> as well as
DomainNameMapping
- Make the default constructor of SslContext so that a user can create
his or her own SslContext wrapper
Result:
Flexibility
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslServerContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslServerContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we consume all pending data in the BIO on error to correctly send the close notify for the remote peer.
Modifications:
Correctly force the user to call wrap(...) if there is something left in the BIO.
Result:
close_notify is not lost.
Motivation:
When ClientAuth is set via SslContextBuilder we pass it into the OpenSslEngine constructor. Due a bug we missed to call the correct native methods and so never enabled ClientAuth in this case.
Modifications:
Correctly call setClientAuth(...) in the constructor if needed.
Result:
client auth also works when configured via the SslContextBuilder and OPENSSL is used.
Motivation:
We missed to remove a method in SslContext while refactored the implementation. We should remove the method to keep things clean.
Modifications:
Remove unused method.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
Use new / non-deprecated APIs for creating SSL Context
in tests, in order to be able to implement OpenSsl
tests with maximum code reuse.
Modifications:
Use `SslContextBuilder.(forServer|forClient)` instead
of deprecated `JdkSslServerContext` constructor.
Use `ApplicationProtocolConfig` instead of Protocol
Negotiator.
Use custom exception type for skipping tests to avoid
swallowing exceptions arising from tests.
Result:
Exceptions from tests aren't swallowed.
Using new APIs allows reusing same test code for
OpenSsl tests.
Motivation:
We should use OneTimeTask where possible to reduce object creation.
Modifications:
Replace Runnable with OneTimeTask
Result:
Less object creation
Motivation:
Child classes of ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler may want to override the behavior when a handshake failure is detected.
Modifications:
- Provide a method which can be overriden when a handshake failure is detected.
Result:
Child classes can override ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler handshake failure behavior.
Motivation:
OpenSslServerContext should not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain as the user should be able to pass a fully initialized TrustManagerFactory. This is also in line with how JdkSslServerContext works.
Modifications:
Not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain.
Result:
Correct and consistent behavior.
Motivation:
The SSLSession allows to invalidate a SSLSession and so disallow resume of a session. We should support this for OpenSSLEngine as well.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement SSLSession.isValid() and invalidate() in OpenSSLEngine
- Add unit test.
Result:
Invalidate of SSL sessions is supported when using OpenSSL now.
Motivation:
Often unwrap(...), wrap(...) is used with a single ByteBuffer and not with a ByteBuffer[]. We should reduce the array creations in this case.
Modifications:
Reuse ByteBuffer[1] for dst/src ByteBuffer.
Result:
Less object creation and so less GC
Motivation:
As a SSL session may be created later at some time we should compute the creation time in a lazy fashion.
Modifications:
- Lazy compute creation time
- Add some unit test
Result:
More correct behavior
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly update the internal handshake state on beginHandshake() if we was able to finish the handshake directly. Also we not handled the case correctly when beginHandshake() was called after the first handshake was finished, which incorrectly throw an Error.
Modifications:
- Correctly set internal handshake state in all cases
- Correctly handle beginHandshake() once first handshake was finished.
Result:
Correctly handle OpenSslEngine.beginHandshake()
Motivation:
We should provide a better way to set session keys that not use the deprecated method of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionTicketKey
- Expose new method on OpenSslServerContext and deprecate the old method.
Result:
Easier to use and can remove the deprecated method later on.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4257 introduced paramters and didn't use them.
Modifications:
- Use the new paramters
Result:
No warnings and correct behavior
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) must return HandhsakeStatus.FINISHED if an unwrap or wrap finishes a handshake to behave like descripted in the SSLEngine docs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we return HandshakeStatus.FINISHED
Result:
Behave correctly.
Motivation:
Users may want to control the valid dates for SelfSignedCertificate.
Modifications:
- Allow NOT_BEFORE and NOT_AFTER to be controlled via java system properties.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3978
Motivation:
To simplify the use of client auth, we need to add it to the SslContextBuilder.
Modifications:
Added a ClientAuth enum and plumbed it through the builder, down into the contexts/engines.
Result:
Client auth can be configured when building an SslContext.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() was not supported when using OpenSSL, which can produce problems when switch from JDK to OpenSSL impl.
Modifications:
Implement SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() for OpenSslEngine.
Result:
More consistent behaving between JDK and OpenSSL based SSLEngine.
Motivation:
As stated in the SSLSession javadocs getPeer* methods need to throw a SSLPeerUnverifiedException if peers identity has not be verified.
Modifications:
- Correctly throw SSLPeerUnverifiedException
- Add test for it.
Result:
Correctly behave like descripted in javadocs.
Motivation:
Invoking the javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine.closeInbound() method will send a
fatal alert and invalidate the SSL session if a close_notify alert has
not been received.
From the javadoc:
If the application initiated the closing process by calling
closeOutbound(), under some circumstances it is not required that the
initiator wait for the peer's corresponding close message. (See section
7.2.1 of the TLS specification (RFC 2246) for more information on
waiting for closure alerts.) In such cases, this method need not be
called.
Always invoking the closeInbound() method without regard to whether or
not the closeOutbound() method has been invoked could lead to
invalidating perfectly valid SSL sessions.
Modifications:
Added an instance variable to track whether the
SSLEngine.closeOutbound() method has been invoked. When the instance
variable is true, the SSLEngine.closeInbound() method doesn't need to be
invoked.
Result:
SSL sessions will not be invalidated if the outbound side has been
closed but a close_notify alert hasn't been received.
Motivation:
On Android devices with version less than Lollipop, HarmonyJSSE is used for SSL. After completion of handshake, handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING instead of FINISHED. Also encrypting empty buffer after handshake should cause underflow exception and produce 0 bytes, but here it happily encrypts it causing for loop to never break
Modification:
Since 0 bytes should only be consumed in handshake process. Added a condition to break loop when 0 bytes are consumed and handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING
Result:
Sucessful ssl handshake on Android devices, no infinite loop now
Motivation:
We provide a hyperlink to the docs for SPDY if the runtime is not setup correctly to help users. These docs have moved.
Modifications:
- Update the hyperlink to point to the new doc location.
Result:
Users are able to find docs more easily.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user already has a PrivateKey / X509Certificate which should be used to create a new SslContext. At the moment we only allow to construct it via Files.
Modifications:
- Add new methods to the SslContextBuilder to allow creating a SslContext from PrivateKey / X509Certificate
- Mark all public constructors of *SslContext as @Deprecated, the user should use SslContextBuilder
- Update tests to us SslContextBuilder.
Result:
Creating of SslContext is possible with PrivateKay/X509Certificate
Motivation:
We pass-through non ByteBuf when SslHandler.write(...) is called which can lead to have unencrypted data to be send (like for example if a FileRegion is written).
Modifications:
- Fail ChannelPromise with UnsupportedMessageException if a non ByteBuf is written.
Result:
Only allow ByteBuf to be written when using SslHandler.
Motivation:
Remove RC4 from default ciphers as it is not known as secure anymore.
Modifications:
Remove RC4
Result:
Not use an insecure cipher as default.
Motivation:
When we detect a BUFFER_OVERFLOW we should just forward the already produced data and allocate a new buffer and NOT do any extra memory copies while trying to expand the buffer.
Modifications:
When a BUFFER_OVERFLOW is returned and some data was produced just fire this data through the pipeline and allocate a new buffer to read again.
Result:
Less memorycopies and so better performance.
Motivation:
A SSL_read is needed to ensure the bio buffer is flushed, for this we did a priming read. This can be removed in many cases. Also ensure we always fill as much as possible in the destination buffers.
Modifications:
- Only do priming read if capacity of all dsts buffers is zero
- Always produce as must data as possible in the dsts buffers.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
Previous we called BIO_write until either everything was written into it or it returned an error, which meant that the buffer is full. This then needed a ERR_clear_error() call which is expensive.
Modifications:
Break out of writing loop once we detect that not everything was written and so the buffer is full.
Result:
Less overhead when writing more data then the internal buffer can take.
Motivation:
When BIO_write is called with an empty buffer it will return 0 for which we call ERR_clear_error(). This is not neccessary as we should just skip these buffers. This eliminates a lot of overhead.
Modifications:
Skip empty src buffers when call unwrap(...).
Result:
Less overhead for unwrap(...) when called with empty buffers.
Motivation:
If a user tries to access various informations on the OpenSslSession after the SSLEngine was closed it will not work if these were not accessed before as we lazy init most of them.
Modifications:
Directly populate the whole OpenSslSession once the handshake is complete and before the user is notified about it.
Result:
OpenSslSession informations are avaible until it is GC'ed.
Motivation:
We used ERR_get_error() to detect errors and missed to handle different errors. Also we missed to clear the error queue for a thread before invoke SSL operations,
this could lead to detecting errors on different OpenSslEngines then the one in which the error actual happened.
Modifications:
Explicit handle errors via SSL.get_error and clear the error code before SSL operations.
Result:
Correctly handle errors and no false-positives in different OpenSslEngines then the one which detected an error.
Motivation:
According to the javadocs of SSLSession.getPeerPrincipal should be returning the identity of the peer, while we return the identity of the issuer.
Modifications:
Return the correct indentity.
Result:
Behavior match the documentation.
Motivation:
Due a copy and paste error we incorrectly skipped the first cert in the keyCertChainFile when using OpenSslClientContext.
Modifications:
Correctly not skip the first cert.
Result:
The certificate chain is correctly setup when using OpenSslClientContext.
Motivation:
Dumping the content of a ByteBuf in a hex format is very useful.
Modifications:
Move code into ByteBufUtil so its easy to reuse.
Result:
Easy to reuse dumping code.
Motivation:
The current dumping code does not respect the readerIndex and so logs incorrect.
Modifications:
Respect readerIndex of ByteBuf
Result:
Correctly log content of buffer.
Motivation:
If the handlerAdded(...) callback was not called, the checkDeadLock() of the handshakeFuture will produce an IllegalStateException.
This was first reported at https://github.com/impossibl/pgjdbc-ng/issues/168 .
Modifications:
Pass deadlock check if ctx is null
Result:
No more race and so IllegalStateException.
Motivation:
For advanced use-cases it an be helpful to be able to directly access the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers of the underlying openssl objects. This for example allows to register custom C callbacks.
Modifications:
- Expose the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers
- Cleanup the shutdown code
Result:
It's now possible to obtain the c pointes and set native callbacks.
Motivation:
SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser duplicate fair amount code with each other.
Modification:
- Replace SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser with ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler
- Add ApplicationProtocolNames to define the known application-level protocol names
Result:
- Less code duplication
- A user can perform dynamic pipeline configuration that follows ALPN/NPN for any protocols.
Related: #3641 and #3813
Motivation:
When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.
Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.
The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.
Modifications:
- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
application protocol
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
only, so that it conforms to its contract.
Result:
- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box
Motivation:
Calling System.nanoTime() for each channelRead(...) is very expensive. See [#3808] for more detailed description.
Also we always do extra work for each write and read even if read or write idle states should not be handled.
Modifications:
- Move System.nanoTime() call to channelReadComplete(...).
- Reuse ChannelFutureListener for writes
- Only add ChannelFutureListener to writes if write and all idle states should be handled.
- Only call System.nanoTime() for reads if idle state events for read and all states should be handled.
Result:
Less overhead when using the IdleStateHandler.
Motivation:
We called TrustManagerFactory.init(...) even when the trustCertChainFile is null. This could lead to exceptions during the handshake.
Modifications:
Correctly only call TurstManagerFactory.init() if trustCertcChainFail is not null.
Result:
Correct behavior.
Motiviation:
The OpenSSL engine uses SSLHandshakeException in the event of failures that occur during the handshake process. The alpn-boot project's getSSLException will also map the no_application_protocol to a SSLHandshakeException exception. We should be consistent and use SSLHandshakeException for handshake failure events.
Modifications:
-Update JdkAlpnSslEngine to propagate an SSLHandshakeException in the event of a failure.
Result:
Consistent usage of SSLHandshakeException during a handshake failure event.
Motivation:
Allow writing with void promise if IdleStateHandler is configured in the pipeline for read timeout events.
Modifications:
Better performance.
Result:
No more ChannelFutureListeners are created if IdleStateHandler is only configured for read timeouts allowing for writing to the channel with void promise.
Motivation:
[#3808] introduced some improvements to reduce the calls to System.nanoTime() but missed one possible optimization.
Modifications:
Only call System.nanoTime() if no reading patch is in process.
Result:
Less System.nanoTime() calls.
Motivation:
Discussion is in https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/issues/8. The new API allows protocol negotiation to properly throw SSLHandshakeException.
Modifications:
Updated the parent pom.xml with the new version.
Result:
Upgraded alpn-api now allows throwing SSLHandshakeException.
Motivation:
We mitigate callouts to System.nanoTime() in SingleThreadEventExecutor
as it is 'relatively expensive'. On a modern system, tak translates to
about 20ns per call. With channelReadComplete() we can side-step this in
channelRead().
Modifications:
Introduce a boolean flag, which indicates that a read batch is currently
on-going, which acts as a flush guard for lastReadTime. Update
lastReadTime in channelReadComplete() just before setting the flag to
false. We set the flag to true in channelRead().
The periodic task examines the flag, and if it observes it to be true,
it will reschedule the task for the full duration. If it observes as
false, it will read lastReadTime and adjust the delay accordingly.
Result:
ReadTimeoutHandler calls System.nanoTime() only once per read batch.
Motivation:
At the moment hostname verification is not supported with OpenSSLEngine.
Modifications:
- Allow to create OpenSslEngine with peerHost and peerPort informations.
- Respect endPointIdentificationAlgorithm and algorithmConstraints when set and get SSLParamaters.
Result:
hostname verification is supported now.
Motivation:
keyManager() is required on server-side, and so there is a forServer()
method for each override of keyManager(). However, one of the
forServer() overrides was missing, which meant that if you wanted to use
a KeyManagerFactory you were forced to provide garbage configuration
just to get past null checks.
Modifications:
Add missing override.
Result:
No hacks to use SslContextBuilder on server-side with KeyManagerFactory.
Resolves#3775
Motivation:
To prevent from DOS attacks it can be useful to disable remote initiated renegotiation.
Modifications:
Add new flag to OpenSslContext that can be used to disable it
Adding a testcase
Result:
Remote initiated renegotion requests can be disabled now.
Motivation:
In the SslHandler we schedule a timeout at which we close the Channel if a timeout was detected during close_notify. Because this can race with notify the flushFuture we can see an IllegalStateException when the Channel is closed.
Modifications:
- Use a trySuccess() and tryFailure(...) to guard against race.
Result:
No more race.
Motivation:
Currently mutual auth is not supported when using OpenSslEngine.
Modification:
- Add support to OpenSslClientContext
- Correctly throw SSLHandshakeException when an error during handshake is detected
Result:
Mutual auth can be used with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
Our automatically handling of non-auto-read failed because it not detected the need of calling read again by itself if nothing was decoded. Beside this handling of non-auto-read never worked for SslHandler as it always triggered a read even if it decoded a message and auto-read was false.
This fixes [#3529] and [#3587].
Modifications:
- Implement handling of calling read when nothing was decoded (with non-auto-read) to ByteToMessageDecoder again
- Correctly respect non-auto-read by SslHandler
Result:
No more stales and correctly respecting of non-auto-read by SslHandler.
Motivation:
Unnecessary object allocation is currently done during wrap/unwrap while a handshake is still in progress.
Modifications:
Use static instances when possible.
Result:
Less object creations.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to get informations about the available OpenSSL library that is used for the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add two new methods which allows to get the available OpenSSL version as either
an int or an String.
Result:
Easy to access details about OpenSSL version.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to use EC keys and not DSA or RSA. We should support it.
Modifications:
Support EC keys and share the code between JDK and Openssl impl.
Result:
It's possible to use EC keys now.
Motivation:
SslContext factory methods have gotten out of control; it's past time to
swap to a builder.
Modifications:
New Builder class. The existing factory methods must be left as-is for
backward compatibility.
Result:
Fixes#3531
Motivation:
To support HTTP2 we need APLN support. This was not provided before when using OpenSslEngine, so SSLEngine (JDK one) was the only bet.
Beside this CipherSuiteFilter was not supported
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative and make use of new features to support ALPN and NPN in server and client mode.
- Guard against segfaults after the ssl pointer is freed
- support correctly different failure behaviours
- add support for CipherSuiteFilter
Result:
Be able to use OpenSslEngine for ALPN / NPN for server and client.
In TrafficCounter, a recent change makes the contract of the API (the
constructor) wrong and lead to issue with GlobalChannelTrafficCounter
where executor must be null.
Motivation:
TrafficCounter executor argument in constructor might be null, as
explained in the API, for some particular cases where no executor are
needed (relevant tasks being taken by the caller as in
GlobalChannelTrafficCounter).
A null pointer exception is raised while it should not since it is
legal.
Modifications:
Remove the 2 null checking for this particular attribute.
Note that when null, the attribute is not reached nor used (a null
checking condition later on is applied).
Result:
No more null exception raized while it should not.
This shall be made also to 4.0, 4.1 (present) and master. 3.10 is not
concerned.
Related: #3567
Motivation:
SslHandler.channelReadComplete() forgets to call
super.channelReadComplete(), which discards read bytes from the
cumulative buffer. As a result, the cumulative buffer can expand its
capacity unboundedly.
Modifications:
Call super.channelReadComplete() instead of calling
ctx.fireChannelReadComplete()
Result:
Fixes#3567
Motivation:
LoggingHandlerTest sometimes failure due to unexpected log messages
logged due to the automatic reclaimation of thread-local objects.
Expectation failure on verify:
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 3 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-0): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 9 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-1): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 2 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-23-2): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend([DEBUG] Freed 4 thread-local buffer(s) from thread: nioEventLoopGroup-26-0): expected: 1, actual: 0
Appender.doAppend(matchesLog(expected: ".+CLOSE$", got: "[id: 0xembedded, embedded => embedded] CLOSE")): expected: 1, actual: 0
Modifications:
Add the mock appender to the related logger only
Result:
No more intermittent test failures
Related: #3368
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler checks if the return value of
ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() after calling ChunkedInput.close().
This makes ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() trigger an IOException, which is
originally triggered by PushBackInputStream.read().
By contract, ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() should not raise an IOException
even when the underlying stream is closed.
Modifications:
Add a boolean flag that keeps track of whether the underlying stream has
been closed or not, so that ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() does not
propagate the IOException from PushBackInputStream.
Result:
Fixes#3368
Motivation:
For some use cases X509ExtendedTrustManager is needed as it allows to also access the SslEngine during validation.
Modifications:
Add support for X509ExtendedTrustManager on java >= 7
Result:
It's now possible to use X509ExtendedTrustManager with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
The Http2FrameLogger is currently using the internal logging classes. We should change this so that it's using the public classes and then converts internally.
Modifications:
Modified Http2FrameLogger and the examples to use the public LogLevel class.
Result:
Fixes#2512
Motivation:
With the current implementation the client protocol preference list
takes precedence over the one of the server, since the select method
will return the first item, in the client list, that matches any of the
protocols supported by the server. This violates the recommendation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.2.
It will also fail with the current implementation of Chrome, which
sends back Extension application_layer_protocol_negotiation, protocols:
[http/1.1, spdy/3.1, h2-14]
Modifications:
Changed the protocol negotiator to prefer server’s list. Added a test
case that demonstrates the issue and that is fixed with the
modifications of this commit.
Result:
Server’s preference list is used.
Related: #3476
Motivation:
Some users use TrafficCounter for other uses than we originally
intended, such as implementing their own traffic shaper. In such a
case, a user does not want to specify an AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor that does not require an
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler, so that a user can use it without it.
- Simplify TrafficMonitoringTask
- Javadoc cleanup
Result:
We open the possibility of using TrafficCounter for other purposes than
just using it with AbstractTrafficShapingHandler. Eventually, we could
generalize it a little bit more, so that we can potentially use it for
other uses.
Motivation:
There are various places in OpenSslEngine wher we can do performance optimizations.
Modifications:
- Reduce JNI calls when possible
- Detect finished handshake as soon as possible
- Eliminate double calculations
- wrap multiple ByteBuffer if possible in a loop
Result:
Better performance
Motivation:
At the moment we log priming read and handshake errors via info log level and still throw a SSLException that contains the error. We should only log with debug level to generate less noise.
Modifications:
Change logging to debug level.
Result:
Less noise .
Motivation:
SonarQube (clinker.netty.io/sonar) reported a few 'critical' issues related to the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
- Remove potential for dereference of null variable.
- Remove duplicate null check and TODO cleanup.
Results:
Less potential for null dereference, cleaner code, and 1 less TODO.
Motivation:
SslHandler adds a pending write with an empty buffer and a VoidChannelPromise when a user flush and not pending writes are currently stored. This may produce an IllegalStateException later if the user try to add a ChannelFutureListener to the promise in the next ChannelOutboundHandler.
Modifications:
Replace ctx.voidPromise() with ctx.newPromise()
Result:
No more IllegalStateException possible
Motivation:
SSLEngine specifies that IllegalArgumentException must be thrown if a null argument is given when using wrap(...) or unwrap(...).
Modifications:
Replace NullPointerException with IllegalArgumentException to match the javadocs.
Result:
Match the javadocs.
Motivation:
We failed to correctly calculate the endOffset when wrap multiple ByteBuffer and so not wrapped everything when an offset > 0 is used.
Modifications:
Correctly calculate endOffset.
Result:
All ByteBuffers are correctly wrapped when offset > 0.
Motivation:
When SslHandler.unwrap() copies SSL records into a heap buffer, it does
not update the start offset, causing IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Copy to a heap buffer before calling unwrap() for simplicity
- Do not copy an empty buffer to a heap buffer.
- unwrap(... EMPTY_BUFFER ...) never involves copying now.
- Use better parameter names for unwrap()
- Clean-up log messages
Result:
- Bugs fixed
- Cleaner code
Motivation:
When using OpenSslEngine with the SslHandler it is possible to reduce memory copies by unwrap(...) multiple ByteBuffers at the same time. This way we can eliminate a memory copy that is needed otherwise to cumulate partial received data.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) method that can be used to unwrap multiple src ByteBuffer a the same time
- Use a CompositeByteBuffer in SslHandler for inbound data so we not need to memory copy
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) in SslHandler if OpenSslEngine is used and the inbound ByteBuf is backed by more then one ByteBuffer
- Reduce object allocation
Result:
SslHandler is faster when using OpenSslEngine and produce less GC
Motivation:
Currently when there are bytes left in the cumulation buffer we do a byte copy to produce the input buffer for the decode method. This can put quite some overhead on the impl.
Modification:
- Use a CompositeByteBuf to eliminate the byte copy.
- Allow to specify if a CompositeBytebug should be used or not as some handlers can only act on one ByteBuffer in an efficient way (like SslHandler :( ).
Result:
Performance improvement as shown in the following benchmark.

Motivation:
When a user sees an error message, sometimes he or she does not know
what exactly he or she has to do to fix the problem.
Modifications:
Log the URL of the wiki pages that might help the user troubleshoot.
Result:
We are more friendly.
Motivation:
When a user deliberatively omitted netty-tcnative from classpath, he or
she will see an ugly stack trace of ClassNotFoundException.
Modifications:
Log more briefly when netty-tcnative is not in classpath.
Result:
Better-looking log at DEBUG level
Motivation:
- There's no point of pre-population.
- Waste of memory and time because they are going to be cached lazily
- Some pre-populated cipher suites are ancient and will be unused
Modification:
- Remove cache pre-population
Result:
Sanity restored
Motivation:
Calling JNI methods is pretty expensive, so we should only do if needed.
Modifications:
Lazy call methods if needed.
Result:
Better performance.
Motivation:
SSL_set_cipher_list() in OpenSSL does not fail as long as at least one
cipher suite is available. It is different from the semantics of
SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites(), which raises an exception when the
list contains an unavailable cipher suite.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSsl.isCipherSuiteAvailable(String) which checks the
availability of a cipher suite
- Raise an IllegalArgumentException when the specified cipher suite is
not available
Result:
Fixed compatibility
Motivation:
To make OpenSslEngine a full drop-in replacement, we need to implement
getSupportedCipherSuites() and get/setEnabledCipherSuites().
Modifications:
- Retrieve the list of the available cipher suites when initializing
OpenSsl.
- Improve CipherSuiteConverter to understand SRP
- Add more test data to CipherSuiteConverterTest
- Add bulk-conversion method to CipherSuiteConverter
Result:
OpenSslEngine should now be a drop-in replacement for JDK SSLEngineImpl
for most cases.
Related: #3285
Motivation:
When a user attempts to switch from JdkSslContext to OpenSslContext, he
or she will see the initialization failure if he or she specified custom
cipher suites.
Modifications:
- Provide a utility class that converts between Java cipher suite string
and OpenSSL cipher suite string
- Attempt to convert the cipher suite so that a user can use the cipher
suite string format of Java regardless of the chosen SslContext impl
Result:
- It is possible to convert all known cipher suite strings.
- It is possible to switch from JdkSslContext and OpenSslContext and
vice versa without any configuration changes
Motivation:
Several issues were shown by various ticket (#2900#2956).
Also use the improvement on writability user management from #3036.
And finally add a mixte handler, both for Global and Channels, with
the advantages of being uniquely created and using less memory and
less shaping.
Issue #2900
When a huge amount of data are written, the current behavior of the
TrafficShaping handler is to limit the delay to 15s, whatever the delay
the previous write has. This is wrong, and when a huge amount of writes
are done in a short time, the traffic is not correctly shapened.
Moreover, there is a high risk of OOM if one is not using in his/her own
handler for instance ChannelFuture.addListener() to handle the write
bufferisation in the TrafficShapingHandler.
This fix use the "user-defined writability flags" from #3036 to
allow the TrafficShapingHandlers to "user-defined" managed writability
directly, as for reading, thus using the default isWritable() and
channelWritabilityChanged().
This allows for instance HttpChunkedInput to be fully compatible.
The "bandwidth" compute on write is only on "acquired" write orders, not
on "real" write orders, which is wrong from statistic point of view.
Issue #2956
When using GlobalTrafficShaping, every write (and read) are
synchronized, thus leading to a drop of performance.
ChannelTrafficShaping is not touched by this issue since synchronized is
then correct (handler is per channel, so the synchronized).
Modifications:
The current write delay computation takes into account the previous
write delay and time to check is the 15s delay (maxTime) is really
exceeded or not (using last scheduled write time). The algorithm is
simplified and in the same time more accurate.
This proposal uses the #3036 improvement on user-defined writability
flags.
When the real write occurs, the statistics are update accordingly on a
new attribute (getRealWriteThroughput()).
To limit the synchronisations, all synchronized on
GlobalTrafficShapingHandler on submitWrite were removed. They are
replaced with a lock per channel (since synchronization is still needed
to prevent unordered write per channel), as in the sendAllValid method
for the very same reason.
Also all synchronized on TrafficCounter on read/writeTimeToWait() are
removed as they are unnecessary since already locked before by the
caller.
Still the creation and remove operations on lock per channel (PerChannel
object) are synchronized to prevent concurrency issue on this critical
part, but then limited.
Additionnal changes:
1) Use System.nanoTime() instead of System.currentTimeMillis() and
minimize calls
2) Remove / 10 ° 10 since no more sleep usage
3) Use nanoTime instead of currentTime such that time spend is computed,
not real time clock. Therefore the "now" relative time (nanoTime based)
is passed on all sub methods.
4) Take care of removal of the handler to force write all pending writes
and release read too
8) Review Javadoc to explicit:
- recommandations to take into account isWritable
- recommandations to provide reasonable message size according to
traffic shaping limit
- explicit "best effort" traffic shaping behavior when changing
configuration dynamically
Add a MixteGlobalChannelTrafficShapingHandler which allows to use only one
handler for mixing Global and Channel TSH. I enables to save more memory and
tries to optimize the traffic among various channels.
Result:
The traffic shaping is more stable, even with a huge number of writes in
short time by taking into consideration last scheduled write time.
The current implementation of TrafficShapingHandler using user-defined
writability flags and default isWritable() and
fireChannelWritabilityChanged works as expected.
The statistics are more valuable (asked write vs real write).
The Global TrafficShapingHandler should now have less "global"
synchronization, hoping to the minimum, but still per Channel as needed.
The GlobalChannel TrafficShapingHandler allows to have only one handler for all channels while still offering per channel in addition to global traffic shaping.
And finally maintain backward compatibility.
Motivation:
Openssl supports the SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context function to limit for which context a session can be used. We should support this.
Modifications:
Add OpenSslServerSessionContext that exposes a setSessionIdContext(...) method now.
Result:
It's now possible to use SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context.
Motivation:
It is sometimes useful to enable / disable the session cache.
Modifications:
* Add OpenSslSessionContext.setSessionCacheEnabled(...) and isSessionCacheEnabled()
Result:
It is now possible to enable / disable cache on the fly
Motivation:
To be compatible with SSLEngine we need to support enable / disable procols on the OpenSslEngine
Modifications:
Implement OpenSslEngine.getSupportedProtocols() , getEnabledProtocols() and setEnabledProtocols(...)
Result:
Better compability with SSLEngine
Motivation:
The current implementation not returns the real session as byte[] representation.
Modifications:
Create a proper Openssl.SSLSession.get() implementation which returns the real session as byte[].
Result:
More correct implementation
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to make use of the session cache when OpenSsl is used. This should be possible when server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionContext (implements SSLSessionContext) which exposes all the methods to modify the session cache.
- Add various extra methods to OpenSslSessionContext for extra functionality
- Return OpenSslSessionContext when OpenSslEngine.getSession().getContext() is called.
- Add sessionContext() to SslContext
- Move OpenSsl specific session operations to OpenSslSessionContext and mark the old methods @deprecated
Result:
It's now possible to use session cache with OpenSsl
Motivation:
ProxyHandlerTest fails with NoClassDefFoundError raised by
SslContext.newClientContext().
Modifications:
Fix a missing 'return' statement that makes the switch-case block fall
through unncecessarily
Result:
- ProxyHandlerTest does not fail anymore.
- SslContext.newClientContext() does not raise NoClassDefFoundError
anymore.
Motivation:
At the moment we use SSL.getLastError() in unwrap(...) to check for error. This is very inefficient as it creates a new String for each check and we also use a String.startsWith(...) to detect if there was an error we need to handle.
Modifications:
Use SSL.getLastErrorNumber() to detect if we need to handle an error, as this only returns a long and so no String creation happens. Also the detection is much cheaper as we can now only compare longs. Once an error is detected the lately SSL.getErrorString(long) is used to conver the error number to a String and include it in log and exception message.
Result:
Performance improvements in OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) due less object allocation and also faster comparations.
Motivation:
As we now support OpenSslEngine for client side, we should use it when avaible.
Modifications:
Use SslProvider.OPENSSL when openssl can be found
Result:
OpenSslEngine is used whenever possible
Motivation:
When using client auth it is sometimes needed to use a custom TrustManagerFactory.
Modifications:
Allow to pass in TrustManagerFactory
Result:
It's now possible to use custom TrustManagerFactories for JdkSslServerContext and OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
To make OpenSsl*Context a drop in replacement for JdkSsl*Context we need to use TrustManager.
Modifications:
Correctly hook in the TrustManager
Result:
Better compatibility
Motivation:
At the moment there is no way to enable client authentication when using OpenSslEngine. This limits the uses of OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add support for different authentication modes.
Result:
OpenSslEngine can now also be used when client authenticiation is needed.
Motivation:
The current SSLSession implementation used by OpenSslEngine does not support various operations and so may not be a good replacement by the SSLEngine provided by the JDK implementation.
Modifications:
- Add SSLSession.getCreationTime()
- Add SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime()
- Add SSLSession.putValue(...), getValue(...), removeValue(...), getValueNames()
- Add correct SSLSession.getProtocol()
- Ensure OpenSSLEngine.getSession() is thread-safe
- Use optimized AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater when possible
Result:
More complete OpenSslEngine SSLSession implementation
Motivation:
We only support openssl for server side at the moment but it would be also useful for client side.
Modification:
* Upgrade to new netty-tcnative snapshot to support client side openssl support
* Add OpenSslClientContext which can be used to create SslEngine for client side usage
* Factor out common logic between OpenSslClientContext and OpenSslServerContent into new abstract base class called OpenSslContext
* Correctly detect handshake failures as soon as possible
* Guard against segfault caused by multiple calls to destroyPools(). This can happen if OpenSslContext throws an exception in the constructor and the finalize() method is called later during GC
Result:
openssl can be used for client and servers now.
Motivation:
SslHandler.wrap(...) does a poor job when handling CompositeByteBuf as it always call ByteBuf.nioBuffer() which will do a memory copy when a CompositeByteBuf is used that is backed by multiple ByteBuf.
Modifications:
- Use SslEngine.wrap(ByteBuffer[]...) to allow wrap CompositeByteBuf in an efficient manner
- Reduce object allocation in unwrapNonAppData(...)
Result:
Performance improvement when a CompositeByteBuf is written and the SslHandler is in the ChannelPipeline.
