Motivation:
In Http2FrameCodec we made the incorrect assumption that we can only have 1 buffered outboundstream as maximum. This is not correct and we need to account for multiple buffered streams.
Modifications:
- Use a map to allow buffer multiple streams
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8692.
Motivation:
Due a race in DefaultChannelPipeline / AbstractChannelHandlerContext it was possible to have only handlerRemoved(...) called during tearing down the pipeline, even when handlerAdded(...) was never called. We need to ensure we either call both of none to guarantee a proper lifecycle of the handler.
Modifications:
- Enforce handlerAdded(...) / handlerRemoved(...) semantics / ordering
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8676 / https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6536 .
Motivation:
We do not correctly detect loops when follow CNAMEs and so may try to follow it without any success.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect CNAME loops
- Do not cache CNAME entries which point to itself
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8687.
Motivation:
Users who want to construct a `FlushConsolidationHandler` with a default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` but non-default `consolidateWhenNoReadInProgress` may benefit from having an easy way to get the default "flush after flushes" count.
Modifications:
- Moved default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` value to a public constant.
- Adjusted Javadoc accordingly.
Result:
Default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` is accessible to callers.
Motivation:
We should try removing all FastThreadLocals for the Thread before we notify the termination. future. The user may block on the future and once it unblocks the JVM may terminate and start unloading classes.
Modifications:
Remove all FastThreadLocals for the Thread before notify termination future.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6596.
Motivation:
LineBasedFrameDecoder, JsonObjectDecoder and XmlFrameDecoder upon investigation of the
sourcecode appeared to only support ASCII or UTF-8 input. It is an important characteristic
and ont reflected in any documentation. This could lead to improper usage and bugs.
Modifications:
Javadoc comment is addedd to all three classes to state that implementation is only
compatible with UTF-8 or ASCII input streams and brifly touches on implementaion details.
Result:
The end user of the netty library would not have to study sorcecode to deterime character
encoding limitations for given classes.
Motivation:
The `maxChunkSize` only serves to split available content into even
smaller chunks which is not all that useful since the data is already
buffered.
Modification:
Remove the parameter.
Result:
Things are simpler.
Fixes#8430.
Motivation:
During some other work I noticed we do not have any tests to ensure we correctly use SSLSessionBindingEvent. We should add some testing.
Modifications:
- Added unit test to verify we correctly implement it.
- Ignore the test when using Conscrypt as it not correctly implements it.
Result:
More tests for custom SSL impl.
Motivation:
How we did the mapping from native code to AbstractKQueueChannel was not safe and could lead to heap corruption. This then sometimes produced ClassCastExceptions or could also lead to crashes. This happened sometimes when running the testsuite.
Modifications:
Use a Map for the mapping (just as we do in the native epoll transport).
Result:
No more heap corruption / crashes.
Motivation:
A new EA build was released for Java 12.
Modifications:
Update to OpenJDK 12 EA24
Result:
Use latest OpenJDK 12 build when building with Java 12
Motivation:
RFC 6455 doesn't define close status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014.
Yet, since then, IANA has defined them and web browsers support them.
From https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xhtml:
* 1012: Service Restart
* 1013: Try Again Later
* 1014: The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server. This is similar to 502 HTTP Status Code.
Modification:
Make status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014 legit.
Result:
WebSocket status codes as defined by IANA are supported.
Motivation:
A new version was released that fixes a few test-cases to allow more close codes.
Modifications:
Upgrade to 0.1.5
Result:
More compliant testing of websockets.
Motivation:
Using the latest jython release fixes some noise that is produced by an exception that is thrown when jython is terminated.

Modification:
Update to latest stable release.
Result:
Less noise during build.
Motivation:
We missed to skip a few tests that depend on the KeyManagerFactory if the used OpenSSL version / flavor not support it.
Modifications:
Add missing overrides.
Result:
Testsuite also passes for example when using LibreSSL.
Motivation:
Andoid does not contain javax.naming.* so we should not try to use it to prevent a NoClassDefFoundError on init.
Modifications:
Only try to use javax.naming.* to retrieve nameservers when not using Android.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8654.
* Handling AUTO_READ should not be the responsibility of DefaultChannelPipeline but the Channel itself.
Motivation:
At the moment we do automatically call read() in the DefaultChannelPipeline when fireChannelReadComplete() / fireChannelActive() is called and the Channel is using auto read. This is nice in terms of sharing code but imho is not the responsibility of the ChannelPipeline implementation but the responsibility of the Channel implementation.
Modifications:
Move handing of auto read from DefaultChannelPipeline to Channel implementations.
Result:
More clear responsibiliy and not depending on implemention details of the ChannelPipeline.
Motiviation:
Http2FrameCodecTest and Http2MultiplexCodecTest were quite fragile and often not went through the whole pipeline which made testing sometimes hard and error-prone.
Modification:
- Refactor tests to have data flow through the whole pipeline and so made the test more robust (by testing the while implementation).
Result:
Easier to write tests for the codecs in the future and more robust testing in general.
Beside this it also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6036.
Motivation:
We should always call ctx.read() even when AUTO_READ is false as flow-control is enforced by the HTTP/2 protocol.
See also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-5.2.2.
We already did this before but not explicit and only did so because of some implementation details of ByteToMessageDecoder. It's better to be explicit here to not risk of breakage later on.
Modifications:
- Ensure we always call ctx.read() when AUTO_READ is false
- Add unit test.
Result:
No risk of staling the connection when HTTP/2 is used.
Motivation:
executeAfterEventLoopIteration is an Unstable API and isnt used in Netty. We should remove it to reduce complexity.
Changes:
This reverts commit 77770374fb.
Result:
Simplify implementation / cleanup.
Motivation:
In windows if the project is in a path that contains whitespace,
resources cannot be accessed and tests fail.
Modifications:
Adds ResourcesUtil.java in netty-common. Tests use ResourcesUtil.java to access a resource.
Result:
Being able to build netty in a path containing whitespace
Motivation:
SSLSession.putValue / getValue / removeValue / getValueNames must be thread-safe as it may be called from multiple threads. This is also the case in the OpenJDK implementation.
Modifications:
Guard with synchronized (this) blocks to keep the memory overhead low as we do not expect to have these called frequently.
Result:
SSLSession implementation is thread-safe.
Motivation:
ByteBuf supports “marker indexes”. The intended use case for these is if a speculative operation (e.g. decode) is in process the user can “mark” and interface and refer to it later if the operation isn’t successful (e.g. not enough data). However this is rarely used in practice,
requires extra memory to maintain, and introduces complexity in the state management for derived/pooled buffer initialization, resizing, and other operations which may modify reader/writer indexes.
Modifications:
Remove support for marking and adjust testcases / code.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8535.
Motivation:
9f9aa1a did some changes related to fixing how we handle ctx.read() in child channel but did incorrectly change some assert.
Modifications:
Fix assert to be correct.
Result:
Code does not throw an AssertionError due incorrect assert check.
Motivation:
We had some typo (most likely caused by copy-and-paste) in the api docs which should be fixed.
Modifications:
Replace encoder by decoder word.
Result:
Correct apidocs.
Motivation:
8331248671 did make some changes to fix a race in ChannelInitializer when using with a custom EventExecutor. Unfortunally these where a bit racy and so the testcase failed sometimes.
Modifications:
- More correct fix when using a custom EventExecutor
- Adjust the testcase to be more correct.
Result:
Proper fix for https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8616.
Motivation:
If two requests from the same IP are reached at the same time, `connected.contains(remoteIp)` may return false in both threads.
Modifications:
Check if there is already a connection with the same IP using return values.
Result:
Become thread safe.
motivation: automate snapshot publishing from docker based ci
changes:
* add local settings.xml with env variables for publishing to sonatype-nexus-snapshots
* pipe UID/PWD env variable in docker compose
Motivation:
In the test we assume some semantics on how RST is done that are not true for Windows so we should skip it.
Modifications:
Skip test when on windows.
Result:
Be able to run testsuite on windows. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8571.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
The ChannelInitializer may be invoked multipled times when used with a custom EventExecutor as removal operation may be done asynchronously. We need to guard against this.
Modifications:
- Change Map to Set which is more correct in terms of how we use it.
- Ensure we only modify the internal Set when the handler was removed yet
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8616.
Motivation:
java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractSelectableChannel.register(...) need to obtain multiple locks during execution which may produce a long wait time if we currently select. This lead to multiple CI failures in the past.
Modifications:
Ensure the register call takes place on the EventLoop.
Result:
No more flacky CI test timeouts.
Motivation:
We did not correct respect ctx.read() calls while processing a read for a child Channel. This could lead to read stales when auto read is disabled and no other read was requested.
Modifications:
- Keep track of extra read() calls while processing reads
- Add unit tests that verify that read() is respected when triggered either in channelRead(...) or channelReadComplete(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8209.
Motivation:
In versions of Netty prior to 4.1.31.Final, a CompositeByteBuf could be
created with any size (including potentially nonsensical negative
values). This behavior changed in e7737b993, which introduced a bounds
check to only allow for a component size greater than one. This broke
some existing use cases that attempted to create a byte buf with a
single component.
Modifications:
Lower the bounds check on numComponents to include the single component
case, but still throw an exception for anything less than one.
Add unit tests for the case of numComponents being less than, equal to,
and greater than this lower bound.
Result:
Return to the behavior of 4.1.30.Final, allowing one component, but
still include an explicit check against a lower bound.
Note that while creating a CompositeByteBuf with a single component is
in some ways a contradiction of the term "composite", this patch caters
for existing uses while excluding the clearly nonsensical case of asking
for a CompositeByteBuf with zero or fewer components.
Fixes#8613.
Motivation:
Netty executors doesn't have yet any means to compare with each others
nor to compare with the j.u.c. executors
Modifications:
A new benchmark measuring execute burst cost is being added
Result:
It's now possible to compare some of Netty executors with each others
and with the j.u.c. executors
Motivation:
Often a temporary ByteBuffer is used which can be cached to reduce the GC pressure.
Modifications:
Cache the ByteBuffer in the PoolThreadCache as well.
Result:
Less GC.
Motivation:
We should use the latest OpenJDK 12 release when running tests against Java12.
Modifications:
- Update to OpenJDK 12 ea22.
- Update pax exam version
- skip OSGI testsuite on Java12 as it does not work ea22 yet.
Result:
Use latest OpenJDK 12 version when running on the CI.
Motivation:
According to the HTTP spec set-cookie headers should not be combined
because they are not using the list syntax.
Modifications:
Do not combine set-cookie headers.
Result:
Set-Cookie headers won't be combined anymore
Motivation
DefaultHttp2FrameReader currently does a fair amount of "intermediate"
slicing which can be avoided.
Modifications
Avoid slicing the input buffer in DefaultHttp2FrameReader until
necessary. In one instance this also means retainedSlice can be used
instead (which may also avoid allocating).
Results
Less allocations when using http2.
Motivation
#8563 highlighted race conditions introduced by the prior optimistic
update optimization in 83a19d5650. These
were known at the time but considered acceptable given the perf
benefit in high contention scenarios.
This PR proposes a modified approach which provides roughly half the
gains but stronger concurrency semantics. Race conditions still exist
but their scope is narrowed to much less likely cases (releases
coinciding with retain overflow), and even in those
cases certain guarantees are still assured. Once release() returns true,
all subsequent release/retains are guaranteed to throw, and in
particular deallocate will be called at most once.
Modifications
- Use even numbers internally (including -ve) for live refcounts
- "Final" release changes to odd number (equivalent to refcount 0)
- Retain still uses faster getAndAdd, release uses CAS loop
- First CAS attempt uses non-volatile read
- Thread.yield() after a failed CAS provides a net gain
Result
More (though not completely) robust concurrency semantics for ref
counting; increased latency under high contention, but still roughly
twice as fast as the original logic. Bench results to follow
Motivation:
ByteBuf is used everywhere so we should try hard to be able to make things inlinable. During benchmarks it showed that writeCharSequence(...) fails to inline writeUtf8 because it is too big even if its hots.
Modifications:
Move less common code-path to extra method to allow inlining.
Result:
Be able to inline writeUtf8 in most cases.
Motivation:
Often a temporary ByteBuffer is used which can be cached to reduce the GC pressure.
Modifications:
Add a Deque per PoolChunk which will be used for caching.
Result:
Less GC.
Motivation:
When we create new chunk with memory aligned, the offset of direct memory should be
'alignment - address & (alignment - 1)', not just 'address & (alignment - 1)'.
Modification:
Change offset calculating formula to offset = alignment - address & (alignment - 1) in PoolArena.DirectArena#offsetCacheLine and add a unit test to assert that.
Result:
Correctly calculate offset.
Motivation:
We did miss to use MessageFormatter inside LocationAwareSlf4jLogger and so {} was not correctly replaced in log messages when using slf4j.
This regression was introduced by afe0767e9c.
Modifications:
- Make use of MessageFormatter
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8483.
Motivation:
We can change from using compareAndSet to addAndGet, which emits a different CPU instruction on x86 (CMPXCHG to XADD) when count direct memory usage. This instruction is cheaper in general and so produce less overhead on the "happy path". If we detect too much memory usage we just rollback the change before throwing the Error.
Modifications:
Replace compareAndSet(...) with addAndGet(...)
Result:
Less overhead when tracking direct memory.
Motivation:
During benchmarks two methods showed up as "hot method too big". We can easily make these smaller by factor out some less common code-path to an extra method and so allow inlining.
Modifications:
Factor out less common code path to an extra method.
Result:
Hot methods can be inlined.
