Motivation:
PR #5355 modified interfaces to reduce GC related to the HPACK code. However this came with an anticipated performance regression related to HpackUtil.equals due to AsciiString's increase cost of charAt(..). We should mitigate this performance regression.
Modifications:
- Introduce an equals method in PlatformDependent which doesn't leak timing information and use this in HpcakUtil.equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5436
Motivation:
We recently added support for session ticket statistics which we can expose now.
Modifications:
Expose the statistics.
Result:
Be able to obtain session ticket statistics.
Motivation:
In order to prevent a regression, add test case for a bug that caused a CompositeByteBuf to not release its components.
Modifications:
Add a test case that asserts a CompositeByteBuf's component buffers have indeed been released.
Result:
AbstractCompositeByteBuf gains a test case that will prevent future regressions.
Motivation:
If DnsNameResolver works with NoopDnsCache, IndexOutOfBoundsException will
be thrown.
Modifications:
Test if the result of DnsNameResolver.get(hostname) is empty before
accessing it's elements.
Motivation:
It is good to have used dependencies and plugins up-to-date to fix any undiscovered bug fixed by the authors.
Modification:
Scanned dependencies and plugins and carefully updated one by one.
Result:
Dependencies and plugins are up-to-date.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 specification requires the pad length field of DATA, HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frames to be counted towards the flow control window. The current implementation doesn't do so (See #5434).
Furthermore, it's currently not possible to add one byte padding, as this would add the one byte pad length field as well as append one padding byte to the end of the frame.
Modifications:
Include the one byte pad length field in the padding parameter of the API. Thereby extending the allowed value range by one byte to 256 (inclusive). On the wire, a one byte padding is encoded with a pad length field with value zero and a 256 byte padding is encoded with a pad length field with value 255 and 255 bytes append to the end of the frame.
Result:
More correct padding.
Motiviation:
Sometimes it is useful to allow to specify a custom strategy to handle rejected tasks. For example if someone tries to add tasks from outside the eventloop it may make sense to try to backoff and retries and so give the executor time to recover.
Modification:
Add RejectedEventExecutor interface and implementations and allow to inject it.
Result:
More flexible handling of executor overload.
Motivation:
To restrict the memory usage of a system it is sometimes needed to adjust the number of max pending tasks in the tasks queue.
Modifications:
- Add new constructors to modify the number of allowed pending tasks.
- Add system properties to configure the default values.
Result:
More flexible configuration.
Motivation:
We need to return a correct time for SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime() so it reflect when the handshake was done when the session was reused.
Modifications:
Correctly reflect handshake time in getLastAccessedTime().
Result:
More conform SSLSession implementation.
Motivation:
Sometimes its needed to customize the SSLEngine (like setting protocols etc). For this it would be useful if the user could wrap an SslContext and do init steps on the SSLEngine.
Modifications:
Add new SslContext implementation which can wrap another one and allow to customize the SSLEngine
Result:
More flexible usage of SslContext.
Motivation:
At the moment OpenSslEngine.getSupportedCipherSuites() only return the original openssl cipher names and not the java names. We need also include the java names.
Modifications:
Correctly return the java names as well.
Result:
Correct implementation of OpenSslEngine.getSupportedCipherSuites()
Motivation:
We should merge ThrowableUtils into ThrowableUtil as this name is more consistent with the naming of utility classes in netty.
Modifications:
Merge classes.
Result:
More consistent naming
Motivation:
The current implementation does not comply with RFC2817 on two points:
- The HTTP version required to support the CONNECT method is 1.1,
but the current implementation specifies 1.0.
- The HOST header should hold the name or address of the Target Host,
but the current implementation uses the proxy address instead.
Modifications:
- Specify HTTP version 1.1,
- The HOST header is now set using the Target Host's name (or address,
if it is resolved).
Result:
The CONNECT request is RFC2817-compliant.
Motivations:
The HPACK code was not really optimized and written with Netty types in mind. Because of this a lot of garbage was created due heavy object creation.
This was first reported in [#3597] and https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/1872 .
Modifications:
- Directly use ByteBuf as input and output
- Make use of ByteProcessor where possible
- Use AsciiString as this is the only thing we need for our http2 usage
Result:
Less garbage and better usage of Netty apis.
Motivation:
On Windows localhost is not in hosts file and the DNS server does not resolve this address either, i.e it is handled by the Windows API. So using a Bootstrap (among others) with the resolver based on DnsNameResolver will not resolve localhost.
Modifications:
Workaround behavior of Windows
Result:
Correctly resolve localhost on Windows when using DnsNameResolver
Motivation:
These methods were recently deprecated. However, they remained in use in several locations in Netty's codebase.
Modifications:
Netty's code will now access the bootstrap config to get the group or child group.
Result:
No impact on functionality.
Motivation:
If a user writes an own nio based transport which uses a special SelectorProvider it is useful to be able to get the SelectorProvider that is used by a NioEventLoop. This way this can be used when implement AbstractChannel.isCompatible(...) and check that the SelectorProvider is the correct one.
Modifications:
Expose the SelectorProvider.
Result:
Be able to get the SelectorProvider used by a NioEventLoop.
Motivation:
If a single DATA frame ends up being decompressed into multiple frames by DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener the flow control accounting is delayed until all frames have been decompressed. However it is possible the user may want to return bytes to the flow controller which were not included in the onDataRead return value. In this case the amount of processed bytes has not been incremented and will lead to negative value for processed bytes.
Modifications:
- Http2Decompressor.incrementProcessedBytes should be called each time onDataRead is called to ensure all bytes are accounted for at the correct time
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5375
Motivation:
There is no need already use synchronized when validate the args of the methods.
Modifications:
First validate arguments and then use synchronized
Result:
Less code executed in synchronized block.
Motivation:
We use pre-instantiated exceptions in various places for performance reasons. These exceptions don't include a stacktrace which makes it hard to know where the exception was thrown. This is especially true as we use the same exception type (for example ChannelClosedException) in different places. Setting some StackTraceElements will provide more context as to where these exceptions original and make debugging easier.
Modifications:
Set a generated StackTraceElement on these pre-instantiated exceptions which at least contains the origin class and method name. The filename and linenumber are specified as unkown (as stated in the javadocs of StackTraceElement).
Result:
Easier to find the origin of a pre-instantiated exception.
Motivation:
When HTTPS is used we should use https in the sec-websocket-origin / origin header
Modifications:
- Correctly generate the sec-websocket-origin / origin header
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Generate correct header.
Allow users of Netty to plug in their own leak detector for the purpose
of instrumentation.
Motivation:
We are rolling out a large Netty deployment and want to be able to
track the amount of leaks we're seeing in production via custom
instrumentation. In order to achieve this today, I had to plug in a
custom `ByteBufAllocator` into the bootstrap and have it initialize a
custom `ResourceLeakDetector`. Due to these classes mostly being marked
`final` or having private or static methods, a lot of the code had to
be copy-pasted and it's quite ugly.
Modifications:
* I've added a static loader method for the `ResourceLeakDetector` in
`AbstractByteBuf` that tries to instantiate the class passed in via the
`-Dio.netty.customResourceLeakDetector`, otherwise falling back to the
default one.
* I've modified `ResourceLeakDetector` to be non-final and to have the
reporting broken out in to methods that can be overridden.
Result:
You can instrument leaks in your application by just adding something
like the following:
```java
public class InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector<T> extends
ResourceLeakDetector<T> {
@Monitor("InstanceLeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger instancesLeakCounter;
@Monitor("LeakCounter")
private final AtomicInteger leakCounter;
public InstrumentedResourceLeakDetector(Class<T> resource) {
super(resource);
this.instancesLeakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
this.leakCounter = new AtomicInteger();
}
@Override
protected void reportTracedLeak(String records) {
super.reportTracedLeak(records);
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportUntracedLeak() {
super.reportUntracedLeak();
leakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
@Override
protected void reportInstancesLeak() {
super.reportInstancesLeak();
instancesLeakCounter.incrementAndGet();
}
}
```
Motivation:
At the moment SSLSession.getId() may always return an empty byte array when OpenSSLEngine is used. This is as we not set SSL_OP_NO_TICKET on the SSLContext and so SSL_SESSION_get_id(...) will return an session id with length of 0 if tickets are not used.
Modifications:
- Set SSL_OP_NO_TICKET by default and only clear it if the user requests the usage of session tickets.
- Add unit test
Result:
Ensure consistent behavior between different SSLEngine implementations.
Motivation:
When using java8+ we should support SSLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder()
Modifications:
Add support of SLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder() by using reflection, so we can compile with java7 but still support it.
Result:
Users that use java8+ can use SSLParameters.setCipherSuiteOrder()
Motivation:
Java8 added support for using SNIHostName with SSLParameters. We currently ignore it in OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Use reflection to support SNIHostName.
Result:
People using Java8 can use SNIHostName even when OpenSslEngine is used.
`HttpContentDecoder` was removing `Content-Length` header but not adding a `Transfer-Encoding` header which goes against the HTTP spec.
Added `Transfer-Encoding` header with value `chunked` when `Content-Length` is removed.
Modified existing unit test to also check for this condition.
Compliance with HTTP spec.
Motivation:
See #82.
Modifications:
- Added `isText` to validate if the given ByteBuf is compliant with the specified charset.
- Optimized for UTF-8 and ASCII. For other cases, `CharsetDecoder.decoder` is used.
Result:
Users can validate ByteBuf with given charset.
Motivation:
The current DnsNameResolver fails to resolve an A+CNAME answer. For example:
dig moose.rmq.cloudamqp.com
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
moose.rmq.cloudamqp.com. 1800 IN CNAME ec2-54-152-221-139.compute-1.amazonaws.com.
ec2-54-152-221-139.compute-1.amazonaws.com. 583612 IN A 54.152.221.139
...
The resolver constructs a map of cnames but forgets the trailing "." in the values which lead to not resolve the A record.
Modifications:
Reuse the code of DefaltDnsRecordDecoder which correctly handles the trailing dot.
Result:
Correctly resolve.
Motivation:
It seems like intellij / idea is confused because of shading of jctools.
Modifications:
Add jctools as dependency with scope runtime to the examples as workaround
Result:
Its possible again to run the examples in the ide.
Motivation:
We missed to skip some tests for OpenSsl when OpenSsl.isAvailable() is false.
Modifications:
- Correctly skip tests when OpenSsl.isAvailable() is false.
- Simplify some code by using @BeforeClass.
Result:
Be able to compile netty even when OpenSsl is not present on the system.
Motivation:
When the OpenSslContext is gc'ed and the user still hold a reference to OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionStats it is possible to produce a segfault when calling
a method on any of these that tries to pass down the ctx pointer to the native methods. This is because the OpenSslContext finalizer will free the native pointer.
Modifications:
Change OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionContext to store a reference to OpenSslContext and so prevent the GC to collect it as long as the user has a reference to OpenSslSessionContext / OpenSslSessionContext.
Result:
No more sefault possible.
Motivation:
When using HttpContentCompressor and the HttpResponse is protocol version 1.0, HttpContentEncoder.encode() should not set the transfer-encoding header to chunked. Chunked transfer-encoding is not valid for HTTP 1.0 - this causes ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED errors in chrome and similar failures in IE.
Modifications:
Skip HTTP/1.0 messages
Result:
Be able to serve HTTP/1.0 as well when HttpContentEncoder is in the pipeline.
Motivation:
When the user home and so the path to the local maven repository contains spaces it currently fails to run the tests (at least on windows).
Modifications:
Put double quotes around the ${settings.localRepository}
Result:
Be able to run build and tests even when user home path has spaces in it.
Motivation:
Its completly fine for ChunkedInput.readChunk(...) to return null to indicate there is currently not any data to read. We need to handle this in HttpChunkedInput to not produce a NPE when constructing the HttpContent.
Modifications:
If readChunk(...) return null just return null as well.
Result:
No more NPE.
Motivation:
DefaultThreadFactory allows to override the newThread(...) method and so should have access to all fields that are set via the constructor.
Modifications:
Change threadGroup from private to protected visibility.
Result:
Easier to extend DefaultThreadFactory.
Motivation:
To better debug why a Selector need to be rebuild it is useful to also log the instance of the Selector.
Modifications:
Add logger instance to the log message.
Result:
More useful log message.
Motivation:
Unused methods create warnings on some C compilers. It may not be feasible to selectively turn them off.
Modifications:
Remove createInetSocketAddress as it is unused.
Result:
Less noisy compilation
Motivation:
There is a spelling error in MqttCodecTest, where "bout got" shoud be "but got".
Modifications:
Replace the error spelling with correct one.
Result:
Fix typo in the assert description in MqttCodecTest.
Motivation:
I cherry-picked 819b26b too soon. There were entries added to a deprecated class which should only go into the non-deprecated version of the class.
Modifications:
- Remove the static final variables that were added as duplicates to the deprecated class
Result:
Deprecated code does not grown in volume without need.
Motivation:
Some commons values are missing from HttpHeader values constants.
Modifications:
- Add constants for "application/json" Content-Type
- Add constants for "gzip,deflate" Content-Encoding
Result:
More HttpHeader values constants available, both in
`HttpHeaders.Values` and `HttpHeaderValues`.
Motivation
This bug was introduced with #5377 and affects only users who'd like to share/cache/re-use `PemPrivateKey` and `PemX509Certificate` instances.
Modifications
Use `ByteBuf#writeBytes(src, readerIndex, length)` so that the src's readerIndex doesn't change and can consequently be used more than once.
Result
It's possible to share/cache/re-use `PemPrivateKey` and `PemX509Certificate` instances as long as their refCnt remains >= 1.
Motivation:
When `ChannelFactory#newChannel` crashed, `AbstractBootstrap#initAndRegister` propagates the exception to the caller instead of failing the promise.
Modifications:
- Catch exceptions from `ChannelFactory#newChannel`.
- Notify promise of such failure.
Result:
`AbstractBootstrap` gracefully handles connect failures.
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:
Support fetches data chunk by chunk for use with WebSocket chunked transfers.
Modifications:
Create a WebSocketChunkedInput.java that add to io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx package
Result:
The WebSocket transfers/fetches data chunk by chunk.
Motivation:
In case of exception in invokeExceptionCaught() only original exception passed to invokeExceptionCaught() will be logged on any log level.
+ AbstractChannelHandlerContext and CombinedChannelDuplexHandler log different exceptions.
Modifications:
Fix inconsistent logging code and add ability to see both stacktraces on DEBUG level.
Result:
Both handlers log now both original exception and thrown from invokeExceptionCaught. To see full stacktrace of exception thrown from invokeExceptionCaught DEBUG log level must be enabled.
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:
When the channel is closed while we still decode the headers we currently not preserve correct message sequence. In this case we should generate an invalid message with a current cause.
Modifications:
Create an invalid message with a PrematureChannelClosureException as cause when the channel is closed while we decode the headers.
Result:
Correct message sequence preserved and correct DecoderResult if the channel is closed while decode headers.
