7a3d91f43d Give compiler hint about inline functions
Motivation:

Some of the methods are frequently called and so should be inlined if possible.

Modifications:

Give the compiler a hint that we want to inline these methods.

Result:

Better performance if inlined.

0a452bef8e Add workaround for bug in older linux kernels handling epoll_wait(...)
Motivation:

Older linux kernels have problems handling a large value for epoll_wait(...) and so wait for ever.

Modifications:

Adjust timeout on the fly if a too big value is passed in.

Result:

Correctly works also on older kernels.

4e6cec0e26 Respect ChannelConfig.getWriteSpinCount() when using epoll transport
Motivation:

The writeSpinCount was ignored in the epoll transport and it just kept on trying writing. This could cause unnessary cpu spinning if a slow remote peer was reading the data very very slow.

Modification:

- Correctly take writeSpinCount into account when writing.

Result:

Less cpu spinning when writing to a slow remote peer.

730ec357d2 Correctly set EPOLLRDHUP for all stream channels.
Motivation:

Fix regression introduced by 585ce1593f, which missed to set EPOLLRDHUP for all stream channels.

Modifications:

Correctly set EPOLLRDHUP for all stream channels in the AbstractEpollStreamChannel constructor.

Result:

No more test failures in EpollDomain*Channel tests.

ed98ce27e1 Faster event processing when epoll transport is used
Motivation:

Before we used a long[] to store the ready events, this had a few problems and limitations:
 - An extra loop was needed to translate between epoll_event and our long
 - JNI may need to do extra memory copy if the JVM not supports pinning
 - More branches

Modifications:

- Introduce a EpollEventArray which allows to directly write in a struct epoll_event* and pass it to epoll_wait.

Result:

Better speed when using native transport, as shown in the benchmark.

b984ca7979 Allow to change epoll mode
Motivation:
Netty uses edge-triggered epoll by default for performance reasons. The downside here is that a messagesPerRead limit can not be enforced correctly, as we need to consume everything from the channel when notified.

Modification:
- Allow to switch epoll modes before channel is registered
- Some refactoring to share more code

Result:
It's now possible to switch epoll mode.

3030b4afe3 Allow to recv and send file descriptors when using EpollDomainSocketChannel.
Motiviation:

When using domain sockets on linux it is supported to recv and send file descriptors. This can be used to pass around for example sockets.

Modifications:
- Add support for recv and send file descriptors when using EpollDomainSocketChannel.
- Allow to obtain the file descriptor for an Epoll*Channel so it can be send via domain sockets.

Result:
recv and send of file descriptors is supported now.

f771a97592 Add support for Unix Domain Sockets when using native epoll transport
Motivation:

Using Unix Domain Sockets can be very useful when communication should take place on the same host and has less overhead then using loopback. We should support this with the native epoll transport.

Modifications:

- Add support for Unix Domain Sockets.
- Adjust testsuite to be able to reuse tests.

Result:

Unix Domain Sockets are now support when using native epoll transport.

6b8ec6b781 [#3378] Automatically increase number of possible handled events
Motivation:

At the moment the max number of events that can be handled per epoll wakup was set during construction.

Modifications:

- Automatically increase the max number of events to handle

Result:

Better performance when a lot of events need to be handled without adjusting the code.

c66da29644 [#3377] Faster overflow guard when generate nextId in EpollEventLoop
Motivation:

The current way how the guard against overflow when generating the nextId() is pretty slow once an overflow happened.

Modifications:

Once a possible overflow is detected all ids used by the EpollEventLoop are scrubed and re-assigned to the registered Channels. This way we only need to do extra work each time an overflow is detected.

Result:

More consistent performance even after the first overflow was detected.

c5bd8fd264 [#3112] Add supprt for TCP_INFO when using EpollSocketChannel
Motivation:

On Linux, you can gather various metrics using getsockopt(..., TCP_INFO,
...).

Modifications:

Add EpollSocketChannel.tcpInfo() which returns EpollTcpInfo that exposes
all metrics exposed via getsockopt(..., TCP_INFO, ...)

Result:

bc97d7d7a1 Fix NPE when remote address can not be obtained
Motivation:

In the native transport we use getpeername to obtain the remote address from the file descriptor. This may fail for various reasons in which case NULL is returned.

Modifications:

- Check for null when try to obtain remote / local address

Result:

No more NPE

Related: #3274

Motivation:

channelReadComplete() event is not triggered after reading successfully
in EpollDatagramChannel.

Modifications:

- Trigger exceptionCaught() event for read failure only once for less
  noise
- Trigger channelReadComplete() event at the end of the read.

aa42287e46 Throw exceptions outside the native code
Rebased and cleaned-up based on the work by @normanmaurer

Motivation:

Currently, IOExceptions and ClosedChannelExceptions are thrown from
inside the JNI methods. Instantiation of Java objects inside JNI code is
an expensive operation, needless to say about filling stack trace for
every instantiation of an exception.

Modifications:

Change most JNI methods to return a negative value on failure so that
the exceptions are instantiated outside the native code.

Also, pre-instantiate some commonly-thrown exceptions for better
performance.

Result:

Performance gain

8d4a97e05b Generate non-test JAR for netty-testsuite
Motivation:

So far, we generated and deployed test JARs to Maven repositories. The
deployed JAR had the classifier 'test-jar'.  The test JAR is consumed by
transport-native-epoll as a test dependency.

The problem is, when netty-transport-native-epoll pulls the test JAR as
a dependency, that Maven resolves its transitive dependencies at
'compile' and 'runtime' scope only, which is incorrect.

I was bitten by this problem recently while trying to add a new
dependency to netty-testsuite.  Because I added a new dependency at the
'test' scope, the new dependency was not pulled transitively by
transport-native-epoll and caused an unexpected build failure.

- d6160208c3
- bf77bb4c3a

Modifications:

- Move all classes in netty-testsuite from src/test to src/main
- Update the 'compile' scope dependencies of netty-testsuite
- Override the test directory configuration properties of the surefire
  plugin
- Do not generate the test JAR anymore
- Update the dependency of netty-transport-native-epoll

Result:

It is less error-prone to add a new dependency to netty-testsuite.

73c0f85d63 Remove bottleneck while create InetSocketAddress in native transport
Motivation:

Everytime a new connection is accepted via EpollSocketServerChannel it will create a new EpollSocketChannel that needs to get the remote and local addresses in the constructor. The current implementation uses new InetSocketAddress(String, int) to create these. This is quite slow due the implementation in oracle and openjdk.

Modifications:

Encode all needed informations into a byte array before return from jni layer and then use new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress, int) to create the socket addresses. This allows to create the InetAddress via a byte[] and so reduce the overhead, this is done either by using InetAddress.getByteAddress(byte[]) or by Inet6Address.getByteAddress(String, byte[], int).

Result:

Reduce performance overhead while accept new connections with native transport

e7cf1dcb98 Test TLS renegotiation with explicit cipher suite change
Motivation:

So far, our TLS renegotiation test did not test changing cipher suite
during renegotiation explicitly.

Modifications:

- Switch the cipher suite during renegotiation

Result:

We are now sure the cipher suite change works.

12c9ce7f67 Allow to lazy create a DefaultFileRegion from a File
Motivation:

We only provided a constructor in DefaultFileRegion that takes a FileChannel which means the File itself needs to get opened on construction. This has the problem that if you want to write a lot of Files very fast you may end up with may open FD's even if they are not needed yet. This can lead to hit the open FD limit of the OS.

Modifications:

Add a new constructor to DefaultFileRegion which allows to construct it from a File. The FileChannel will only be obtained when transferTo(...) is called or the DefaultFileRegion is explicit open'ed via open() (this is needed for the native epoll transport)

Result:

Less resource usage when writing a lot of DefaultFileRegion.

1dc1831abf Add SslHandler.renegotiate()
Related: #3125

Motivation:

We did not expose a way to initiate TLS renegotiation and to get
notified when the renegotiation is done.

Modifications:

- Add SslHandler.renegotiate() so that a user can initiate TLS
  renegotiation and get the future that's notified on completion
- Make SslHandler.handshakeFuture() return the future for the most
  recent handshake so that a user can get the future of the last
  renegotiation
- Add the test for renegotiation to SocketSslEchoTest

Result:

Both client-initiated and server-initiated renegotiations are now
supported properly.

e848066cab Name resolver API and DNS-based name resolver
Motivation:

So far, we relied on the domain name resolution mechanism provided by
JDK.  It served its purpose very well, but had the following
shortcomings:

- Domain name resolution is performed in a blocking manner.
  This becomes a problem when a user has to connect to thousands of
  different hosts. e.g. web crawlers
- It is impossible to employ an alternative cache/retry policy.
  e.g. lower/upper bound in TTL, round-robin
- It is impossible to employ an alternative name resolution mechanism.
  e.g. Zookeeper-based name resolver

Modification:

- Add the resolver API in the new module: netty-resolver
- Implement the DNS-based resolver: netty-resolver-dns
  .. which uses netty-codec-dns
- Make ChannelFactory reusable because it's now used by
  io.netty.bootstrap, io.netty.resolver.dns, and potentially by other
  modules in the future
  - Move ChannelFactory from io.netty.bootstrap to io.netty.channel
  - Deprecate the old ChannelFactory
  - Add ReflectiveChannelFactory

Result:

It is trivial to resolve a large number of domain names asynchronously.

f8349f8dc5 Add AbstractUnsafe.annotateConnectException()
Motivation:

JDK's exception messages triggered by a connection attempt failure do
not contain the related remote address in its message.  We currently
append the remote address to ConnectException's message, but I found
that we need to cover more exception types such as SocketException.

Modifications:

- Add AbstractUnsafe.annotateConnectException() to de-duplicate the
  code that appends the remote address

Result:

- Less duplication
- A transport implementor can annotate connection attempt failure
  message more easily

89d4c50c30 [#2926] Fix 1 byte memory leak in native transport
Motivation:

Motiviation:
If sendmmsg is already defined then the native epoll module failed to build because of conflicting definitions.
The mmsghdr type was also redefined on systems that already supported this structure.

Modifications:
Provide a way so that systems which already define sendmmsg and mmsghdr can build
Provide a way so that systems which don't define sendmmsg and mmsghdr can build

Result:
The native EPOLL module can build in more environments

9428d51e2f Add support for sendmmsg(...) and so allow to write multiple DatagramPackets with one syscall. Related to [#2719]
Motivation:

On linux with glibc >= 2.14 it is possible to send multiple DatagramPackets with one syscall. This can be a huge performance win and so we should support it in our native transport.

Modification:

- Add support for sendmmsg by reuse IovArray
- Factor out ThreadLocal support of IovArray to IovArrayThreadLocal for better separation as we use IovArray also without ThreadLocal in NativeDatagramPacketArray now
- Introduce NativeDatagramPacketArray which is used for sendmmsg(...)
- Implement sendmmsg(...) via jni
- Expand DatagramUnicastTest to test also sendmmsg(...)

Result:

Netty now automatically use sendmmsg(...) if it is supported and we have more then 1 DatagramPacket in the ChannelOutboundBuffer and flush() is called.

646753c2eb Allow to write CompositeByteBuf directly via EpollDatagramChannel. Related to [#2719]
Motivation:

Modifications:

- Implement the needed changes and make use of sendMsg(...) if possible for max performance
- Add tests that test sending datagram packets with all kind of different ByteBuf implementations.

Result:

Performance improvement when using CompoisteByteBuf and EpollDatagramChannel.

cb1bf1a74e [#2867] Workaround performance issue with IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses
Motivation:

InetAddress.getByName(...) uses exceptions for control flow when try to parse IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses. This is quite expensive.

Modifications:

Detect IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses in the JNI level and convert to IPv4 addresses before pass to InetAddress.getByName(...) (via InetSocketAddress constructor).

Result:

Eliminate performance problem causes by exception creation when parsing IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 addresses.

9b99a611ad [#2823] Writing DefaultFileRegion with EpollSocketChannel may cause hang
Motivation:

In EpollSocketchannel.doWriteFileRegion(...) we need to make sure we write until sendFile(...) returns either 0 or all is written. Otherwise we may not get notified once the Channel is writable again.

This is the case as we use EPOLL_ET.

Modifications:

Always write until either sendFile returns 0 or all is written.

Result:

No more hangs when writing DefaultFileRegion can happen.

1504d2044d Allow efficient writing of CompositeByteBuf when using native epoll transport.
Motivation:

There were no way to efficient write a CompositeByteBuf as we always did a memory copy to a direct buffer in this case. This is not needed as we can just write a CompositeByteBuf as long as all the components are buffers with a memory address.

Modifications:

- Write CompositeByteBuf which contains only direct buffers without memory copy
- Also handle CompositeByteBuf that have more components then 1024.

Result:

More efficient writing of CompositeByteBuf.

061d5bc261 Fix data corruption in FileRegion transfer with epoll transport
Related issue: #2764

Motivation:

EpollSocketChannel.writeFileRegion() does not handle the case where the
position of a FileRegion is non-zero properly.

Modifications:

- Improve SocketFileRegionTest so that it tests the cases where the file
  transfer begins from the middle of the file
- Add another jlong parameter named 'base_off' so that we can take the
  position of a FileRegion into account

Result:

Improved test passes. Corruption is gone.

286b89933c Allow to obtain RecvByteBufAllocator.Handle to allow more flexible implementations
Motivation:

At the moment it's only possible for a user to set the RecvByteBufAllocator for a Channel but not access the Handle once it is assigned. This makes it hard to write more flexible implementations.

Modifications:

Add a new method to the Channel.Unsafe to allow access the the used Handle for the Channel. The RecvByteBufAllocator.Handle is created lazily.

Result:

It's possible to write more flexible implementatons that allow to adjust stuff on the fly for a Handle that is used by a Channel

88bd6e7a93 Optimize native transport for gathering writes
Motivation:

While benchmarking the native transport with gathering writes I noticed that it is quite slow. This is due the fact that we need to do a lot of array copies to get the buffers into the iov array.

Modification:

Introduce a new class calles IovArray which allows to fill buffers directly in a iov array that can be passed over to JNI without any array copies. This gives a nice optimization in terms of speed when doing gathering writes.

Result:

Big performance improvement when doing gathering writes. See the included benchmark...

512d1a11ff [#2685] Epoll transport should use GetPrimitiveArrayCritical / ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical
Motivation:

At the moment we use Get*ArrayElement all the time in the epoll transport which may be wasteful as the JVM may do a memory copy for this. For code-path that will get executed fast (without blocking) we should better make use of GetPrimitiveArrayCritical and ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical as this signal the JVM that we not want to do any memory copy if not really needed. It is important to only do this on non-blocking code-path as this may even suspend the GC to disallow the JVM to move the arrays around.

See also http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/functions.html#GetPrimitiveArrayCritical

Modification:

Make use of GetPrimitiveArrayCritical / ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical as replacement for Get*ArrayElement / Release*ArrayElement where possible.

Result:

Better performance due less memory copies.

In EpollSocketchannel.writeBytesMultiple(...) we loop over all buffers to see if we need to adjust the readerIndex for incomplete writes. We can skip this if we know that everything was written (a.k.a complete write).

Modification:

Use fast-path if all bytes are written and so no need to loop over buffers

Result:

Fast write path for the average use.

faf9ac9a30 [#2680] NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() / EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() should always return non-null array as stated in javadocs
Motivation:

At the moment NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() / EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() returns null if something is contained in the ChannelOutboundBuffer which is not a ByteBuf. This is a problem for two reasons:
  1 - In the javadocs we state that it will never return null
  2 - We may do a not optimal write as there may be things that could be written via gathering writes

Modifications:

Change NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() /  EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() to never return null but have it contain all ByteBuffer that were found before the non ByteBuf. This way we can do a gathering write and also conform to the javadocs.

Result:

Better speed and also correct implementation in terms of the api.

aa66f556e5 [#2667] Write until EAGAIN in native transport and only call setEpollOut() in this case
Motivation:

In the previous fix for #2667 I did introduce a bit overhead by calling setEpollOut() too often.

Modification:

Only call setEpollOut() if really needed and remove unused code.

Result:

Less overhead when saturate network.
