Motivation:
The current implementation will provide a DnsRawRecord, which, while
containing the host name it resolves to, would require the user to
decode the name using the decode method currently private to
DefaultDnsRecordDecoder, which in fact means copying it.
Modifications:
Introduce DnsPtrRecord, which is a specialization of DnsRecord which
provides a decoded host name.
Result:
PTR Records are much easier to work with, as the name is decoded already.
Motivation:
We should guard users from using Unsafe methods from outside the EventLoop if not designed to do so.
Modifications:
Add asserts
Result:
Easier for users to detect miss-use.
Motivation:
When using the native transport have support for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT or / and TCP_QUICKACK can be useful.
Modifications:
- Add support for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and TCP_QUICKACK
- Ad unit tests
Result:
TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and TCP_QUICKACK are supported now.
Motivation:
e2f5012 added unit tests which did not verify the buffer was released as it was intended to.
Modification:
- Unit tests must verify release is called
Result:
Unit tests enforce that ByteBufs are released.
Motivation:
DefaultChannelHandlerInvoker.invokeWrite calls a utility method validatePromise which may throw if the arguments are not valid. If this method throws then the message will not be released.
Modifications:
- If an exception is thrown the message should be released
Result:
No more leak in DefaultChannelHandlerInvoker.invokeWrite
Related: #4771
Motivation:
A malicious or misconfigured DNS server can send the CNAME records that
resolve into each other, causing an unexpected infinite loop in
DnsNameResolverContext.onResponseCNAME().
Modifications:
- Remove the dereferenced CNAME from the alias map so that infinite loop
is impossible.
- Fix inspection warnings and typos in DnsNameResolverTest
Result:
Fixes#4771
Motivation:
See #3321
Modifications:
1. Add CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() methods
2. Deprecate CharsetUtil.getEncoder/getDecoder() methods
Result:
Users can use new CharsetUtil.encoder/decoder() to specify error actions
Motivation:
For on tests we expected a ConnectTimeoutException but used the default timeout of 10 seconds. This slows down testing.
Modifications:
Use connect timeout of 1 second in unit test.
Result:
Faster execution of unit test.
Motivation:
83c4aa6ad8 changed the log level to warn, but should have changed to debug.
Modifications:
- Change the log level to debug in Http2ConnectionHandler if the GO_AWAY fails to send. The write failure could be the result of the channel already being closed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4930.
Motivation:
See #3172
Modifications:
https://github.com/netty/netty-build/pull/6 added a junit timeout listener to the netty-build project. This patch just set it up.
Result:
If a test is set the timeout parameter using junit's @Test(timeout = ...) and the timeout is triggered, a full stack trace dump will be outputted and also output the deadlocks if any.
Motivation:
It will be easier to support websockets in server application by using WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler class and not reinvent its functionality. But currently it handles all http requests as if they were websocket handshake requests.
Modifications:
Check if http request path is equals to adjusted websocket path.
Fixed example of websocket server implementation.
Result:
WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler handles only websocket handshake requests.
Motiviation:
cfcee5798d introduced code to resize the headers based upon a weighted average. The weight used for new entries was initialized using integer arithmetic when it should have been floating point arithmetic and so new values contribute 0 weight.
Modifications:
- Cast to float when initializing
Result:
Weighted average does not give 0 weight to new headers in DefaultHttp2HeadersDecoder.
Motivation:
If the input buffer is empty we should not have decodeLast(...) call decode(...) as the user may not expect this.
Modifications:
- Not call decode(...) in decodeLast(...) if the input buffer is empty.
- Add testcases.
Result:
decodeLast(...) will not call decode(...) if input buffer is empty.
Motivation:
The interface contract of Http2Connection.Listener.onStreamClosed says that the stream will be removed from the active stream map, and not necessarily the stream map. If the channel becomes inactive we may remove from the stream map before calling onStreamClosed.
Modifications:
- Don't remove from the stream map during iteration until after onStreamClosed is called
Result:
Expectations of onStreamClosed interface are not violated
Motivation:
Utility methods in ByteBufUtil to writeUtf8 and writeAscii expect a buffer to already be allocated. If the user does not have a buffer allocated they have to know details of the encoding in order to know the size of the buffer to allocate.
Modifications:
- Add writeUtf8 and writeAscii which take a ByteBufAllocator and allocate a ByteBuf of the correct size for the user
Result:
ByteBufUtil methods which are easier to use if the user doesn't already have a ByteBuf.
Motivation:
See https://github.com/netty/netty-build/issues/5
Modifications:
Add xml-maven-plugin to check indentation and fix violations
Result:
pom.xml will be checked in the PR build
Motivation:
Each call of ByteBuf.getByte(int) method does boundary checking. This can be eliminated by using ByteBuf.forEachByte(ByteProcessor) method and ByteProcessor.FIND_LF processor.
Modifications:
Find end of line with ByteProcessor.FIND_LF
Result:
A little better performance of LineBasedFrameDecoder.
Motivation:
Build warning message is shown when building netty project. Due to missing paxexam version below[1] warning message is shown when building netty project.
Modifications:
Added paxexam plugin version into root pom
Result:
paxexam related warning will not be displayed when building the project.
[1]. #4909
Motivation:
Some people may want to use the Snappy class directly to encode / decode ByteBufs.
Modifications:
Make the Snappy class public and final.
Result:
Easier for people to reuse parts of Netty.
Motivation:
We want to allow the use of an uber jar that contains the shared libraries for all platforms.
Modifications:
Modified OpenSsl to first check for a platform-specific lib before using the default lib.
Result:
uber support.
Motivation:
Current DnsNameResolver api don't allow to define additional records in DNS query.
It can be useful in many cases. For example when we want to query dns server with
real client address (EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET extension:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-02 )
Modifications:
This change add new query methods with list of additional DnsRecord-s for query.
Result:
It is possible to create dns query with EDNS-CLIENT-SUBNET extension for example.
Motivation:
See #3746.
Modifications:
Fork SpscLinkedQueue and SpscLinkedAtomicQueue from JCTools based on 7846450e28
Result:
Add SpscLinkedQueue and SpscLinkedAtomicQueue and apply it in LocalChannel.
Motivation:
If the Future that the PromiseNotifier is listening to is cancelled, it does not propagate the cancel to all the promises it is expected to notify.
Modifications:
- If the future is cancelled then all the promises should be cancelled
- Add a UnaryPromiseNotifier if a collection of promises is not necessary
Result:
PromiseNotifier propagates cancel events to all promises
Motivation:
Depending on the actual CertificateException we should set the correct alert type so it will be sent back to the remote peer and so make it easier for them to fix it.
Modification:
Correctly set the alert and not always just use a general alert.
Result:
It's easier for the remote peer to fix the problems.
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler inherits from ByteToMessageDecoder. ByteToMessageDecoder.channelInactive will attempt to decode any remaining data by calling the abstract decode method. If the Http2ConnectionHandler is in server mode, and no data has been exchanged yet, it will try to treat this data as an invalid connection preface and write a GO_AWAY. This is noisy in the logs and creates an illusion that there is a protocol violation when there has not been.
Modifications:
- If the channel is inactive the connection preface decode should not be executed.
Result:
Log files don't include misleading error messages related to connection preface errors.
Modifications:
When constructing the FullHttpMessage pass in the ByteBuf to use via the ByteBufAllocator assigned via the context.
Result:
The ByteBuf assigned to the FullHttpMessage can now be configured as a pooled/unpooled, direct/heap based ByteBuf via the ByteBufAllocator used.
Motivation:
Commit 108dc23cab introduced a workaround due to a JDK crash when GCM cipher was used during an unwrap operation. Attempting to reproduce this issue with the latest JDK (1.8.0_72-b15) demonstrate that this issue no longer exists while it can be reliably reproduced on earlier JDKs (1.8.0_25-b17 and earlier)
Modifications:
- Remove the copy-to-heap-buffer workaround for JDK engine
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3256
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder must ensure that read components of the CompositeByteBuf can be discard by default when discardSomeReadBytes() is called. This may not be the case before as because of the default maxNumComponents that will cause consolidation.
Modifications:
Ensure we not do any consolidation to actually be abel to discard read components
Result:
Less memory usage and allocations.
Motivation:
[#4842] introduced 4 new methods but missed to implement advanced leak detection for these.
Modifications:
Correctly implement advanced leak detection for these methods.
Result:
Advanced leak detection works for all methods as expected.
Motivation:
netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork was released, we should upgrade. Also we should skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used because boringssl does not support renegotiation.
Modifications:
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative-1.1.33.Fork13
- Skip renegotiate tests if boringssl is used.
Result:
Use newest version of netty-tcnative and be able to build if boringssl is used.
Motivation:
See #4855
Modifications:
Unfortunately, unescapeCsv cannot be used here because the input could be a CSV line like `"a,b",c`. Hence this patch adds unescapeCsvFields to parse a CSV line and split it into multiple fields and unescaped them. The unit tests should define the behavior of unescapeCsvFields.
Then this patch just uses unescapeCsvFields to implement `CombinedHttpHeaders.getAll`.
Result:
`CombinedHttpHeaders.getAll` will return the unescaped values of a header.
Motivation
See ##3229
Modifications:
Add methods with position independent FileChannel calls to ByteBuf and its subclasses.
Results:
The user can use these new methods to read/write ByteBuff without updating FileChannel's position.
Motivation:
b714297a44 introduced ChannelInputShutdownEvent support for HttpObjectDecoder. However this should have been added to the super class ByteToMessageDecoder, and ByteToMessageDecoder should not propegate a channelInactive event through the pipeline in this case.
Modifications:
- Move the ChannelInputShutdownEvent handling from HttpObjectDecoder to ByteToMessageDecoder
- ByteToMessageDecoder doesn't call ctx.fireChannelInactive() on ChannelInputShutdownEvent
Result:
Half closed events are treated more generically, and don't get translated into a channelInactive pipeline event.
Motivation:
Http2Connection.onStreamRemoved is not always called if Http2Connection.onStreamAdded is called. This is problematic as users may rely on the onStreamRemoved method to be called to release ByteBuf objects and do other cleanup.
Modifications:
- Http2Connection.close will remove all streams existing streams and prevent new ones from being created
- Http2ConnectionHandler will call the new close method in channelInactive
Result:
Http2Connection.onStreamRemoved is always called when Http2Connection.onStreamRemoved is called to preserve the Http2Connection guarantees.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4838
Motiviation:
We should ensure that handlerAdded(...) and handlerRemoved(...) is always called from the EventExecutor that also invokes the other methods of the ChannelHandler. Also we need to ensure we always call handlerAdded(...) before any other method can be calld to ensure correct ordering.
Motifications:
- Ensure that the right thread is used to call the methods
- Ensure correct ordering
- Add tests
Result:
Respect the thread-model for handlerAdded(...) and handlerRemoved(...) and preserve correct ordering in all cases.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector enforces a limit as to how large the queue is allowed to grow for stack traces in order to keep memory from growing too large. However it is not always clear when records are dropped, or how many have been dropped. This can make interpreting leak reports more difficult if you assume all information is present when it may not be. Also we should increase the limit (currently 4) when running tests on the CI servers.
Modifications:
- Increase leak detector record limit on CI servers from 4 to 32.
- Track how many records have been discarded and disclose this in the leak report.
Result:
Leak reports clarify how many records were dropped, and how to increase the limit.
Motivation:
f750d6e36c added support for surrogates in the writeUtf8 conversion. However exceptions are thrown if invalid input is detected, but the JDK (and slow path of writeUtf8) uses a replacement character and does not throw. We should behave the same way.
Modificiations:
- Don't throw in ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8, and instead use a replacement character consistent with the JDK
Result:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8 behavior is consistent with the JDK UTF_8 conversion.
Motivation:
JNI_OnUnload(...) does not return anything (has void in its signature) so we should not try to return something.
Modifications:
Remove return.
Result:
Fix incorrect but harmless code.
Motivation:
Commit f990f99 introduced a bug into the RST_STREAM processing that would prevent a RST_STREAM from being sent when it should have been. The promise would be marked as successful even though the RST_STREAM frame would never be sent.
Modifications:
- Fix conditional in Http2ConnectionHandler.resetStream to allow reset streams to be sent in all stream states besides IDLE.
Result:
RST_STREAM frames are now sent when they are supposed to be sent
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4856
Motivation:
The key can be ByteBuf to avoid converting between ByteBuf and String. See #3689.
Modifications:
Replace the type of key with ByteBuf.
Result:
The type of key becomes ByteBuf.
Motivation:
The initial buffer size used to decode HTTP objects is currently fixed at 128. This may be too small for some use cases and create a high amount of overhead associated with resizing/copying. The user should be able to configure the initial size as they please.
Modifications:
- Make HttpObjectDecoder's AppendableCharSequence initial size configurable
Result:
Users can more finely tune initial buffer size for increased performance or to save memory.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4807
Motivation:
"CorsConfigBuilder.allowNullOrigin()" should be public otherwise people can not set it. See #4835
Modifications:
Make "CorsConfigBuilder.allowNullOrigin()" public.
Result:
The user can call "CorsConfigBuilder.allowNullOrigin()" now.
