Motivation:
When ALPN/NPN is disabled, a user has to instantiate a new
ApplicationProtocolConfig with meaningless parameters.
Modifications:
- Add ApplicationProtocolConfig.DISABLED, the singleton instance
- Reject the constructor calls with Protocol.NONE, which doesn't make
much sense because a user should use DISABLED instead.
Result:
More user-friendly API when ALPN/NPN is not needed by a user.
Motivation:
Netty currently does not support creating SslContext objects that support mutual authentication.
Modifications:
-Modify the SslContext interface to support mutual authentication for JDK and OpenSSL
-Provide an implementation of mutual authentication for JDK
-Add unit tests to support new feature
Result:
Netty SslContext interface supports mutual authentication and JDK providers have an implementation.
Motivation:
If there are no common protocols in the ALPN protocol exchange we still compete the handshake successfully. This handshake should fail according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.2 with a status of no_application_protocol. The specification also allows for the server to "play dumb" and not advertise that it supports ALPN in this case (see MAY clauses in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.1)
Modifications:
-Upstream project used for ALPN (alpn-boot) does not support this. So a PR https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/pull/3 was submitted.
-The netty code using alpn-boot should support the new interface (return null on existing method).
-Version number of alpn-boot must be updated in pom.xml files
Result:
-Netty fails the SSL handshake if ALPN is used and there are no common protocols.
Motivation:
The SslHandler currently forces the use of a direct buffer for the input to the SSLEngine.wrap(..) operation. This allocation may not always be desired and should be conditionally done.
Modifications:
- Use the pre-existing wantsDirectBuffer variable as the condition to do the conversion.
Result:
- An allocation of a direct byte buffer and a copy of data is now not required for every SslHandler wrap operation.
Motivation:
The SslHandler wrap method requires that a direct buffer be passed to the SSLEngine.wrap() call. If the ByteBuf parameter does not have an underlying direct buffer then one is allocated in this method, but it is not released.
Modifications:
- Release the direct ByteBuffer only accessible in the scope of SslHandler.wrap
Result:
Memory leak in SslHandler.wrap is fixed.
Motivation:
Currently the last read/write throughput is calculated by first division,this will be 0 if the last read/write bytes < interval,change the order will get the correct result
Modifications:
Change the operator order from first do division to multiplication
Result:
Get the correct result instead of 0 when bytes are smaller than interval
Motivation:
handlerAdded and handlerRemoved were overriden but super was never
called, while it should.
Also add one missing information in the toString method.
Modifications:
Add the super corresponding call, and add checkInterval to the
toString() method
Result;
super method calls are correctly passed to the super implementation
part.
Motivation:
When constructing a FingerprintTrustManagerFactory from an Iterable of Strings, the fingerprints were correctly parsed but never added to the result array. The constructed FingerprintTrustManagerFactory consequently fails to validate any certificate.
Modifications:
I added a line to add each converted SHA-1 certificate fingerprint to the result array which then gets passed on to the next constructor.
Result:
Certificate fingerprints passed to the constructor are now correctly added to the array of valid fingerprints. The resulting FingerprintTrustManagerFactory object correctly validates certificates against the list of specified fingerprints.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 unit tests are suffering from OOME on the master branch.
These unit tests allocating a large number of threads (~706 peak live) which may
be related to this memory pressure.
Modifications:
Each EventLoopGroup shutdown operation will have a `sync()` call.
Result:
Lower peek live thread count and less associated memory pressure.
Motivation:
The ServerBootrap's child group would not be shutdown.
Modification:
Add missing shutdownGracefully() call.
Result:
The child group is shutdown correctly.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 specification places restrictions on the cipher suites that can be used. There is no central place to pull the ciphers that are allowed by the specification, supported by different java versions, and recommended by the community.
Modifications:
-HTTP/2 will have a security utility class to define supported ciphers
-netty-handler will be modified to support filtering the supplied list of ciphers to the supported ciphers for the current SSLEngine
Result:
-Netty provides unified support for HTTP/2 cipher lists and ciphers can be pruned by currently supported ciphers
Motivation:
There is a bug in the JettySslEngineTest where the interface receiving a message does not do a latch.countDown().
This causes each test to be subject to the CountDownLatch timeout period instead of being notified right when an event occurs.
Modifications:
- The JettySslEngineTest message handler will call the appropriate latch.countDown after a message is received
Result:
JettySslEngineTest will not be subject to waiting the timeout period even if the message is correctly received
Motivation:
Netty only supports a java NPN implementation provided by npn-api and npn-boot.
There is no java implementation for ALPN.
ALPN is needed to be compliant with the HTTP/2 spec.
Modifications:
-SslContext and JdkSslContext to support ALPN
-JettyNpn* class restructure for NPN and ALPN common aspects
-Pull in alpn-api and alpn-boot optional dependencies for ALPN java implementation
Result:
-Netty provides access to a java implementation of APLN
Motivation:
In GitHub issue #2767 a bug was reported that the IPv4
default route leads to the ipfilter package denying
instead of accepting all addresses.
While the issue was reported for Netty 3.9, this bug
also applies to Netty 4 and higher.
Modifications:
When computing the subnet address from the CIDR prefix,
correctly handle the case where the prefix is set to zero.
Result:
Ipfilter accepts all addresses when passed the
IPv4 default route.
Related issue: #2741 and #2151
Motivation:
There is no way for ChunkedWriteHandler to know the progress of the
transfer of a ChannelInput. Therefore, ChannelProgressiveFutureListener
cannot get exact information about the progress of the transfer.
If you add a few methods that optionally provides the transfer progress
to ChannelInput, it becomes possible for ChunkedWriteHandler to notify
ChannelProgressiveFutureListeners.
If the input has no definite length, we can still use the progress so
far, and consider the length of the input as 'undefined'.
Modifications:
- Add ChunkedInput.progress() and ChunkedInput.length()
- Modify ChunkedWriteHandler to use progress() and length() to notify
the transfer progress
Result:
ChunkedWriteHandler now notifies ChannelProgressiveFutureListener.
Motivation:
Currently Traffic Shaping is using 1 timer only and could lead to
"partial" wrong bandwidth computation when "short" time occurs between
adding used bytes and when the TrafficCounter updates itself and finally
when the traffic is computed.
Indeed, the TrafficCounter is updated every x delay and it is at the
same time saved into "lastXxxxBytes" and set to 0. Therefore, when one
request the counter, it first updates the TrafficCounter with the added
used bytes. If this value is set just before the TrafficCounter is
updated, then the bandwidth computation will use the TrafficCounter with
a "0" value (this value being reset once the delay occurs). Therefore,
the traffic shaping computation is wrong in rare cases.
Secondly the traffic shapping should avoid if possible the "Timeout"
effect by not stopping reading or writing more than a maxTime, this
maxTime being less than the TimeOut limit.
Thirdly the traffic shapping in read had an issue since the readOp
was not set but should, turning in no read blocking from socket
point of view.
Modifications:
The TrafficCounter has 2 new methods that compute the time to wait
according to read or write) using in priority the currentXxxxBytes (as
before), but could used (if current is at 0) the lastXxxxxBytes, and
therefore having more chance to take into account the real traffic.
Moreover the Handler could change the default "max time to wait", which
is by default set to half of "standard" Time Out (30s:2 = 15s).
Finally we add the setAutoRead(boolean) accordingly to the situation,
as proposed in #2696 (this pull request is in error for unknown reason).
Result:
The Traffic Shaping is better take into account (no 0 value when it
shouldn't) and it tries to not block traffic more than Time Out event.
Moreover the read is really stopped from socket point of view.
This version is similar to #2388 and #2450.
This version is for Master, and includes the #2696 pull request
to ease the merge process.
Including also #2748
The test minimizes time check by reducing to 66ms steps (55s).
Conflicts:
handler/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/traffic/AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.java
Motivation:
Sometimes ChannelHandler need to queue writes to some point and then process these. We currently have no datastructure for this so the user will use an Queue or something like this. The problem is with this Channel.isWritable() will not work as expected and so the user risk to write to fast. That's exactly what happened in our SslHandler. For this purpose we need to add a special datastructure which will also take care of update the Channel and so be sure that Channel.isWritable() works as expected.
Modifications:
- Add PendingWriteQueue which can be used for this purpose
- Make use of PendingWriteQueue in SslHandler
Result:
It is now possible to queue writes in a ChannelHandler and still have Channel.isWritable() working as expected. This also fixes#2752.
Motivation:
Currently it is not possible to load an encrypted private key when
creating a JDK based SSL server context.
Modifications:
- Added static method to JdkSslServerContext which handles key spec generation for (encrypted) private keys and make use of it.
-Added tests for creating a SSL server context based on a (encrypted)
private key.
Result:
It is now possible to create a JDK based SSL server context with an
encrypted (password protected) private key.
Motivation:
Message from FindBugs:
This method performs synchronization an object that is an instance of a class from the java.util.concurrent package (or its subclasses). Instances of these classes have their own concurrency control mechanisms that are orthogonal to the synchronization provided by the Java keyword synchronized. For example, synchronizing on an AtomicBoolean will not prevent other threads from modifying the AtomicBoolean.
Such code may be correct, but should be carefully reviewed and documented, and may confuse people who have to maintain the code at a later date.
Modification:
Use synchronized(this)
Result:
Less confusing code
Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check HAProxyProxiedProtocol in HAProxyMessage constructor and throw NPE if it is null.
If HAProxyProxiedProtocol is null we will set AddressFamily as null. So we will get NPE inside checkAddress(String, AddressFamily) and it won't be easy to understand why addrFamily is null.
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
If !mqttConnectVariableHeader.isWillFlag() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasUserName() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasPassword() we will get NPE when we will try to create new instance of MqttConnectPayload.
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null check in DefaultStompFrame(StompCommand) constructor.
Because we have this check in the super class.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.
Result:
Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
Motivation:
There is no way for a ChannelHandler to check if the passed in ChannelPromise for a write(...) call is a VoidChannelPromise. This is a problem as some handlers need to add listeners to the ChannelPromise which is not possible in the case of a VoidChannelPromise.
Modification:
- Introduce ChannelFuture.isVoid() which will return true if it is not possible to add listeners or wait on the result.
- Add ChannelPromise.unvoid() which allows to create a ChannelFuture out of a void ChannelFuture which supports all the operations.
Result:
It's now easy to write ChannelHandler implementations which also works when a void ChannelPromise is used.
Motivation:
When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.
FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.
Modifications:
- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9
Result:
- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
performance of FastThreadLocal even more.
Motivation:
Provide a faster ThreadLocal implementation
Modification:
Add a "FastThreadLocal" which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals (all of the static instances created by netty) that is around 10-20% faster than standard ThreadLocal in my benchmarks (and can be seen having an effect in the direct PooledByteBufAllocator benchmark that uses the DEFAULT ByteBufAllocator which uses this FastThreadLocal, as opposed to normal instantiations that do not, and in the new RecyclableArrayList benchmark);
Result:
Improved performance
Motivation:
ChannelTrafficShapingHandler may corrupt inbound data stream by
scheduling the fireChannelRead event.
Modification:
Always call fireChannelRead(...) and only suspend reads after it
Result:
No more data corruption
Motivation:
According to TLS ALPN draft-05, a client sends the list of the supported
protocols and a server responds with the selected protocol, which is
different from NPN. Therefore, ApplicationProtocolSelector won't work
with ALPN
Modifications:
- Use Iterable<String> to list the supported protocols on the client
side, rather than using ApplicationProtocolSelector
- Remove ApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
Future compatibility with TLS ALPN
Motivation:
- OpenSslEngine and JDK SSLEngine (+ Jetty NPN) have different APIs to
support NextProtoNego extension.
- It is impossible to configure NPN with SslContext when the provider
type is JDK.
Modification:
- Implement NextProtoNego extension by overriding the behavior of
SSLSession.getProtocol() for both OpenSSLEngine and JDK SSLEngine.
- SSLEngine.getProtocol() returns a string delimited by a colon (':')
where the first component is the transport protosol (e.g. TLSv1.2)
and the second component is the name of the application protocol
- Remove the direct reference of Jetty NPN classes from the examples
- Add SslContext.newApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
- A user can now use both JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine for NPN-based
protocols such as HTTP2 and SPDY
Motivation:
For an unknown reason, JVM of JDK8 crashes intermittently when
SslHandler feeds a direct buffer to SSLEngine.unwrap() *and* the current
cipher suite has GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) enabled.
Modifications:
Convert the inbound network buffer to a heap buffer when the current
cipher suite is using GCM.
Result:
JVM does not crash anymore.
Motivation:
JDK's SSLEngine.wrap() requires the output buffer to be always as large as MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH even if the input buffer contains small number of bytes. Our OpenSslEngine implementation does not have such wasteful behaviot.
Modifications:
If the current SSLEngine is OpenSslEngine, allocate as much as only needed.
Result:
Less peak memory usage.
Motivation:
Previous fix for the OpenSslEngine compatibility issue (#2216 and
18b0e95659) was to feed SSL records one by
one to OpenSslEngine.unwrap(). It is not optimal because it will result
in more JNI calls.
Modifications:
- Do not feed SSL records one by one.
- Feed as many records as possible up to MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH
- Deduplicate MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH definitions
Result:
- No allocation of intemediary arrays
- Reduced number of calls to SSLEngine and thus its underlying JNI calls
- A tad bit increase in throughput, probably reverting the tiny drop
caused by 18b0e95659
Motivation:
Some users already use an SSLEngine implementation in finagle-native. It
wraps OpenSSL to get higher SSL performance. However, to take advantage
of it, finagle-native must be compiled manually, and it means we cannot
pull it in as a dependency and thus we cannot test our SslHandler
against the OpenSSL-based SSLEngine. For an instance, we had #2216.
Because the construction procedures of JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
are very different from each other, we also need to provide a universal
way to enable SSL in a Netty application.
Modifications:
- Pull netty-tcnative in as an optional dependency.
http://netty.io/wiki/forked-tomcat-native.html
- Backport NativeLibraryLoader from 4.0
- Move OpenSSL-based SSLEngine implementation into our code base.
- Copied from finagle-native; originally written by @jpinner et al.
- Overall cleanup by @trustin.
- Run all SslHandler tests with both default SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
- Add a unified API for creating an SSL context
- SslContext allows you to create a new SSLEngine or a new SslHandler
with your PKCS#8 key and X.509 certificate chain.
- Add JdkSslContext and its subclasses
- Add OpenSslServerContext
- Add ApplicationProtocolSelector to ensure the future support for NPN
(NextProtoNego) and ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation) on
the client-side.
- Add SimpleTrustManagerFactory to help a user write a
TrustManagerFactory easily, which should be useful for those who need
to write an alternative verification mechanism. For example, we can
use it to implement an unsafe TrustManagerFactory that accepts
self-signed certificates for testing purposes.
- Add InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManager for quick
and dirty testing
- Add SelfSignedCertificate class which generates a self-signed X.509
certificate very easily.
- Update all our examples to use SslContext.newClient/ServerContext()
- SslHandler now logs the chosen cipher suite when handshake is
finished.
Result:
- Cleaner unified API for configuring an SSL client and an SSL server
regardless of its internal implementation.
- When native libraries are available, OpenSSL-based SSLEngine
implementation is selected automatically to take advantage of its
performance benefit.
- Examples take advantage of this modification and thus are cleaner.
Motivation:
When writing data from a server before the ssl handshake completes may not be written at all to the remote peer
if nothing else is written after the handshake was done.
Modification:
Correctly try to write pending data after the handshake was complete
Result:
Correctly write out all pending data
Motivation:
As discussed in #2250, it will become much less complicated to implement
deregistration and reregistration of a channel once #2250 is resolved.
Therefore, there's no need to deprecate deregister() and
channelUnregistered().
Modification:
- Undeprecate deregister() and channelUnregistered()
- Remove SuppressWarnings annotations where applicable
Result:
We (including @jakobbuchgraber) are now ready to play with #2250 at
master
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
Due to the complexity of handling deregistration and re-registration of
a channel, we previously decided to remove the deregister() operation
completely to simplify our code. However, we realized that it shouldn't
be that complicated to implement it during our discussion about making
I/O scheduling more flexible and more customizable [1], and thus the
removal of deregistration and re-registration is unnecessary now.
Modification:
- Revert commit c149f4bcc0
- Revert commit e743a27e75
- Make some additional adjustments
Result:
- deregister(), fireChannelUnregistered(), and channelRegistered() were
added back..
- Channel constructors do not require an EventLoop anymore.
[1] https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2250
Motivation:
Some SSLEngine implementations violate the contract and raises an
exception when SslHandler feeds an input buffer that contains multiple
SSL records to SSLEngine.unwrap(), while the expected behavior is to
decode the first record and return.
Modification:
- Modify SslHandler.decode() to keep the lengths of each record and feed
SSLEngine.unwrap() record by record to work around the forementioned
issue.
- Rename unwrap() to unwrapMultiple() and unwrapNonApp()
- Rename unwrap0() to unwrapSingle()
Result:
SslHandler now works OpenSSLEngine from finagle-native. Performance
impact remains unnoticeable. Slightly better readability. Fixes#2116.
Motivation:
Some Android SSLEngine implementations skip FINISHED handshake status
and go straightly into NOT_HANDSHAKING. This behavior blocks SslHandler
from notifying its handshakeFuture, because we do the notification when
SSLEngine enters the FINISHED state.
Modification:
When the current handshake state is NOT_HANDSHAKING and the
handshakeFuture is not fulfilled yet, treat NOT_HANDSHAKING as FINISHED.
Result:
Better Android compatibility - fixes#1823
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
In SslHandler.safeClose(...) we attach a ChannelFutureListener to the flushFuture and will notify the ChannelPromise which was used for close(...) in it. The problem here is that we only call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) if Channel.isActive() is true and otherwise not notify it at all. We should just call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in all cases.
Modifications:
Always call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in the ChannelFutureListeiner
Result:
ChannelPromise used for close the Channel is notified in all cases
