Motivation:
NullChecks resulting in a NullPointerException or IllegalArgumentException, numeric ranges (>0, >=0) checks, not empty strings/arrays checks must never be anonymous but with the parameter or variable name which is checked. They must be specific and should not be done with an "OR-Logic" (if a == null || b == null) throw new NullPointerEx.
Modifications:
* import static relevant checks
* Replace manual checks with ObjectUtil methods
Result:
All checks needed are done with ObjectUtil, some exception texts are improved in microbench and resolver-dns
Fixes#11170
Motivation:
- Underlying buffer usages might be erroneous when releasing them internaly
in HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.
2 bugs occurs:
1) Final File upload seems not to be of the right size.
2) Memory, even in Disk mode, is increasing continuously, while it shouldn't.
- Method `getByte(position)` is too often called within the current implementation
of the HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.
This implies too much activities which is visible when PARANOID mode is active.
This is also true in standard mode.
Apply the same fix on buffer from HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder to HttpPostStandardRequestDecoder
made previously.
Finally in order to ensure we do not rewrite already decoded HttpData when decoding
next ones within multipart, we must ensure the buffers are copied and not a retained slice.
Modification:
- Add some tests to check consistency for HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.
Add a package protected method for testing purpose only.
- Use the `bytesBefore(...)` method instead of `getByte(pos)` in order to limit the external
access to the underlying buffer by retrieving iteratively the beginning of a correct start
position.
It is used to find both LF/CRLF and delimiter.
2 methods in HttpPostBodyUtil were created for that.
The undecodedChunk is copied when adding a chunk to a DataMultipart is loaded.
The same buffer is also rewritten in order to release the copied memory part.
Result:
Just for note, for both Memory or Disk or Mixed mode factories, the release has to be done as:
for (InterfaceHttpData httpData: decoder.getBodyHttpDatas()) {
httpData.release();
factory.removeHttpDataFromClean(request, httpData);
}
factory.cleanAllHttpData();
decoder.destroy();
The memory used is minimal in Disk or Mixed mode. In Memory mode, a big file is still
in memory but not more in the undecodedChunk but its own buffer (copied).
In terms of benchmarking, the results are:

In short, using big file transfers, this is about 7 times faster with new code, while
using high number of HttpData, this is about 4 times faster with new code when using Simple Level.
When using Paranoid Level, using big file transfers, this is about 800 times faster with new code, while
using high number of HttpData, this is about 170 times faster with new code.
Motivation:
DecodeHexBenchmark needs to be less branch-predictor friendly
to mimic the "real" behaviour while decoding
Modifications:
DecodeHexBenchmark uses a larger sets of inputs, picking them at
random on each iteration and the benchmarked method is made !inlineable
Result:
DecodeHexBenchmark is more trusty while showing the performance
difference between different decoding methods
Motivation:
HPACK static table is organized in a way that fields with the same
name are sequential. Which means when doing sequential scan we can
short-circuit scan on name mismatch.
Modifications:
* `HpackStaticTable.getIndexIndensitive` returns -1 on name mismatch
rather than keep scanning.
* `HpackStaticTable` statically defined max position in the array
where name duplication is possible (after the given index there's
no need to check for other fields with the same name)
* Benchmark for different lookup patterns
Result:
Better HPACK static table lookup performance.

Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/10267 introduced a change that reduced the fragmentation. Unfortunally it also introduced a regression when it comes to caching of normal allocations. This can have a negative performance impact depending on the allocation sizes.
Modifications:
- Fix algorithm to calculate the array size for normal allocation caches
- Correctly calculate indeox for normal caches
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10805
Fix issue #10508 where PARANOID mode slow down about 1000 times compared to ADVANCED.
Also fix a rare issue when internal buffer was growing over a limit, it was partially discarded
using `discardReadBytes()` which causes bad changes within previously discovered HttpData.
Reasons were:
Too many `readByte()` method calls while other ways exist (such as keep in memory the last scan position when trying to find a delimiter or using `bytesBefore(firstByte)` instead of looping externally).
Changes done:
- major change on way buffer are parsed: instead of read byte per byte until found delimiter, try to find the delimiter using `bytesBefore()` and keep the last unfound position to skeep already parsed parts (algorithms are the same but implementation of scan are different)
- Change the condition to discard read bytes when refCnt is at most 1.
Observations using Async-Profiler:
==================================
1) Without optimizations, most of the time (more than 95%) is through `readByte()` method within `loadDataMultipartStandard` method.
2) With using `bytesBefore(byte)` instead of `readByte()` to find various delimiter, the `loadDataMultipartStandard` method is going down to 19 to 33% depending on the test used. the `readByte()` method or equivalent `getByte(pos)` method are going down to 15% (from 95%).
Times are confirming those profiling:
- With optimizations, in SIMPLE mode about 82% better, in ADVANCED mode about 79% better and in PARANOID mode about 99% better (most of the duplicate read accesses are removed or make internally through `bytesBefore(byte)` method)
A benchmark is added to show the behavior of the various cases (one big item, such as File upload, and many items) and various level of detection (Disabled, Simple, Advanced, Paranoid). This benchmark is intend to alert if new implementations make too many differences (such as the previous version where about PARANOID gives about 1000 times slower than other levels, while it is now about at most 10 times).

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
Motivation:
JUnit 5 is the new hotness. It's more expressive, extensible, and composable in many ways, and it's better able to run tests in parallel. But most importantly, it's able to directly run JUnit 4 tests.
This means we can update and start using JUnit 5 without touching any of our existing tests.
I'm also introducing a dependency on assertj-core, which is like hamcrest, but arguably has a nicer and more discoverable API.
Modification:
Add the JUnit 5 and assertj-core dependencies, without converting any tests at time time.
Result:
All our tests are now executed through the JUnit 5 Vintage Engine.
Also, the JUnit 5 test APIs are available, and any JUnit 5 tests that are added from now on will also be executed.
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
DefaultAttributeMap::attr has a blocking behaviour on lookup of an existing attribute:
it can be made non-blocking.
Modification:
Replace the existing fixed bucket table using a locked intrusive linked list
with an hand-rolled copy-on-write ordered single array
Result:
Non blocking behaviour for the lookup happy path
Motivation:
writeUtf8 can suffer from inlining issues and/or megamorphic call-sites on the hot path due to ByteBuf hierarchy
Modifications:
Duplicate and specialize the code paths to reduce the need of polymorphic calls
Result:
Performance are more stable in user code
Reduce garbage on MQTT encoding
Motivation:
MQTT encoding and decoding is doing unnecessary object allocation in a number of places:
- MqttEncoder create many byte[] to encode Strings into UTF-8 bytes
- MqttProperties uses Integer keys instead of int
- Some enums valueOf create unnecessary arrays on the hot paths
- MqttDecoder was using unecessary Result<T>
Modification:
- ByteBufUtil::utf8Bytes and ByteBufUtil::reserveAndWriteUtf8 allows to perform the same operation GC-free
- MqttProperties uses a primitive key map
- Implemented GC free const table lookup/switch valueOf
- Use some bit-tricks to pack 2 ints into a single primitive long to store both result and numberOfBytesConsumed and use byte[].length to compute numberOfByteConsumed on fly. These changes allowed to save creating Result<T>.
Result:
Significantly less garbage produced in MQTT encoding/decoding
