Motivation:
We forked a new process to detect if the program is run by root. We should better just use user.name system property
Modifications:
- Change PlatformDependent.isRoot0() to read the user.name system property to detect if root runs the program and rename it to maybeSuperUser0().
- Rename PlatformDependent.isRoot() to maybeSuperUser() and let it init directly in the static block
Result:
Less heavy way to detect if the program is run by root.
Motivation:
When UnorderedThreadPoolEventExecutor.execute / submit etc is called it will consume up to 100 % CPU even after the task was executed.
Modifications:
Add a special wrapper which we will be used in execute(...) to wrap the submitted Runnable. This is needed as ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.execute(...) will delegate to submit(...) which will then use decorateTask(...). The problem with this is that decorateTask(...) needs to ensure we only do our own decoration if we not call from execute(...) as otherwise we may end up creating an endless loop because DefaultPromise will call EventExecutor.execute(...) when notify the listeners of the promise.
Result:
Fixes [#6507].
Motivation:
Some pipelines require support for both SSL and non-SSL messaging.
Modifications:
Add utility decoder to support both SSL and non-SSL handlers based on the initial message.
Result:
Less boilerplate code to write for developers.
Motivation:
Some classes have fields which can be local.
Modifications:
Convert fields to the local variable when possible.
Result:
Clean up. More chances for young generation or scalar replacement.
Motivation:
5e64985089 introduced support for the KeyManagerFactory while using OpenSSL. This same commit also introduced 2 calls to SSLContext.setVerify when 1 should be sufficient.
Modifications:
- Remove the duplicate call to SSLContext.setVerify
Result:
Less duplicate code in ReferenceCountedOpenSslServerContext.
Motivation:
PR [#6460] added a way to access the used memory of an allocator. The used naming was not very good and how things were exposed are not consistent.
Modifications:
- Add a new ByteBufAllocatorMetric and ByteBufAllocatorMetricProvider interface
- Let the ByteBufAllocator implementations implement ByteBufAllocatorMetricProvider
- Move exposed stats / metric from PooledByteBufAllocator to PooledByteBufAllocatorMetric and mark old methods as `@Deprecated`.
Result:
More consistent way to expose metric / stats for ByteBufAllocator
Motivation:
PlatformDependent0 makes assumptions that the array index scale for byte[] is always 1. If this is not the case the results from methods which make this assumption will be undefined.
Modifications:
- PlatformDependent0 should check if unsafe.arrayIndexScale(byte[].class) is not 1, and if so not use unsafe
Result:
Assumptions made by optimizations in PlatformDependent0 which use byte[] are explicitly enforced.
Motivation:
SslContext and SslContextBuilder do not support a way to specify the desired TLS protocols. This currently requires that the user extracts the SSLEngine once a context is built and manually call SSLEngine#setEnabledProtocols(String[]). Something this critical should be supported at the SslContext level.
Modifications:
- SslContextBuilder should accept a list of protocols to configure for each SslEngine
Result:
SslContext consistently sets the supported TLS/SSL protocols.
Motivation:
We not ship any forked code of akka and ArrayDeque anymore.
Modifications:
Remove reference from NOTICE.txt and license folder.
Result:
Correctly document license related things.
Motivation:
This pull request does not solve any problem but we find that several links in the code refer to project websites under the domain of http://code.google.com which are either moved to github or not maintained anymore.
Modification:
Update the project links from code.google.com to the relevant project in github.com
Motivaiton:
It is possible that if the OpenSSL library supports the interfaces required to use the KeyManagerFactory, but we fail to get the io.netty.handler.ssl.openssl.useKeyManagerFactory system property (or this property is set to false) that SSLEngineTest based unit tests which use a KeyManagerFactory will fail.
Modifications:
- We should check if the OpenSSL library supports the KeyManagerFactory interfaces and if the system property allows them to be used in OpenSslEngineTests
Result:
Unit tests which use OpenSSL and KeyManagerFactory will be skipped instead of failing.
Make the FileRegion comments about which transports are supported more accurate.
Also, eleminate any outstanding references to FileRegion.transfered as the method was renamed for spelling.
Modifications:
Class-level comment on FileRegion, can call renamed method.
Result:
More accurate documentation and less calls to deprecated methods.
Motivation:
When we do a wrap operation we calculate the maximum size of the destination buffer ahead of time, and return a BUFFER_OVERFLOW exception if the destination buffer is not big enough. However if there is a CompositeByteBuf the wrap operation may consist of multiple ByteBuffers and each incurs its own overhead during the encryption. We currently don't account for the overhead required for encryption if there are multiple ByteBuffers and we assume the overhead will only apply once to the entire input size. If there is not enough room to write an entire encrypted packed into the BIO SSL_write will return -1 despite having actually written content to the BIO. We then attempt to retry the write with a bigger buffer, but because SSL_write is stateful the remaining bytes from the previous operation are put into the BIO. This results in sending the second half of the encrypted data being sent to the peer which is not of proper format and the peer will be confused and ultimately not get the expected data (which may result in a fatal error). In this case because SSL_write returns -1 we have no way to know how many bytes were actually consumed and so the best we can do is ensure that we always allocate a destination buffer with enough space so we are guaranteed to complete the write operation synchronously.
Modifications:
- SslHandler#allocateNetBuf should take into account how many ByteBuffers will be wrapped and apply the encryption overhead for each
- Include the TLS header length in the overhead computation
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6481
Motivation:
There are numerous usages of internalNioBuffer which hard code 0 for the index when the intention was to use the readerIndex().
Modifications:
- Remove hard coded 0 for the index and use readerIndex()
Result:
We are less susceptible to using the wrong index, and don't make assumptions about the ByteBufAllocator.
Motivation:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine#wrap must have a direct buffer for a destination to interact with JNI. If the user doesn't supply a direct buffer we internally allocate one to write the results of wrap into. After this operation completes we copy the contents of the direct buffer into the heap buffer and use internalNioBuffer to get the content. However we pass in the end index but the internalNioBuffer expects a length.
Modifications:
- pass the length instead of end index to internalNioBuffer
Result:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine#wrap will copy the correct amount of data into the destination buffer when heap buffers are wrapped.
Motivation:
SslContextBuilder sill state the KeyManagerFactory and TrustManagerFactory are only supported when SslProvider.JDK is used. This is not correct anymore.
Modifications:
Fix javadocs.
Result:
Correct javadocs.
Motivation:
We only need to add the port to the HOST header value if its not a standard port.
Modifications:
- Only add port if needed.
- Fix parsing of ipv6 address which is enclosed by [].
Result:
Fixes [#6426].
Motivation:
Often its useful for the user to be able to get some stats about the memory allocated via an allocator.
Modifications:
- Allow to obtain the used heap and direct memory for an allocator
- Add test case
Result:
Fixes [#6341]
Motivation:
Exceptions generated from transport-native-epoll may include duplicate error string description or inconsistent usage of the method name in the string description.
Modifications:
- Ensure the method name from static exceptions and dynamic exceptions is of the same format
- Remove duplicate string rational from the exception messages
Result:
More consistent error messages with no duplicate error description.
Motivation:
Projects may import multiple libraries which use different versions of Netty.
Modifications:
Add 'netty-bom' meta-project that contains the other projects in a dependencyManagement section.
Result:
Developers can import the BOM to enforce specific version of Netty.
Motivation:
SslContext#newHandler currently creates underlying SSLEngine without
enabling HTTPS endpointIdentificationAlgorithm. This behavior in
unsecured when used on the client side.
We can’t harden the behavior for now, as it would break existing
behavior, for example tests using self signed certificates.
Proper hardening will happen in a future major version when we can
break behavior.
Modifications:
Add javadoc warnings with code snippets.
Result:
Existing unsafe behavior and workaround documented.
Motivation:
QueryStringDecoder and QueryStringEncoder contained some code that could either cleaned-up or optimized.
Modifications:
- Fix typos in exception messages and javadocs
- Precompile Pattern
- Make use of StringUtil.EMPTY_STRING
Result:
Faster and cleaner code.
Motivation:
Normally if a decoder produces an exception its wrapped with DecodingException. This is not the cause for NotSslRecordException in SslHandler and SniHandler.
Modifications:
Just throw the NotSslRecordException exception for decode(...) and so ensure its correctly wrapped in a DecodingException before its passed through the pipeline.
Result:
Consist behavior.
Motivation:
As we may access the metrics exposed of PooledByteBufAllocator from another thread then the allocations happen we need to ensure we synchronize on the PoolArena to ensure correct visibility.
Modifications:
Synchronize on the PoolArena to ensure correct visibility.
Result:
Fix multi-thread issues on the metrics
Motivation:
barchart-udt is not maintained anymore so there is not way for us to get fixes for udt. Because of this we should mark the transport as deprecated.
Modifications:
Deprecate all udt classes.
Result:
transport udt is deprecated and so the user knows it will be removed in the future.
Motivation:
To ensure that all bytes queued in OpenSSL/tcnative internal buffers we invoke SSL_shutdown again to stimulate OpenSSL to write any pending bytes. If this call fails we may call SSL_free and the associated shutdown method to free resources. At this time we may attempt to use the networkBIO which has already been freed and get a NPE.
Modifications:
- Don't call bioLengthByteBuffer(networkBIO) if we have called shutdown() in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6466
Motivation:
Issue [#6349] brought up the idea to not use UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf by default. To decide what to do a benchmark is needed.
Modifications:
Add benchmarks for UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf vs UnpooledUnsafeDirectB
yteBuf
Result:
Better idea about impact of using UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf.
Motivation:
Realization of `AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.userDefinedWritabilityIndex()` has references to subclasses.
In addition, one of the subclasses overriding it, but the other does not.
Modifications:
Add overriding to the second subclass. Remove references to subclasses from parent class.
Result:
More consistent and clean code (OOP-stylish).
Motivation:
325cc84a2e introduced new tests which uses classes only provided by Java8+. We need to ensure we only try to load classes needed for these when we run the tests on Java8+ so we still can run the testsuite with Java7.
Modifications:
Add extra class which only gets loaded when Java8+ is used and move code there.
Result:
No more class-loader issue when running tests with Java7.
Motivation:
As we provide our own SSLEngine implementation we should have benchmarks to compare it against JDK impl.
Modifications:
Add benchmarks for wrap / unwrap and handshake performance.
Result:
Benchmarks FTW.
Motivation:
All our benchmarks are in src/main/java in 4.1.x . We should make it consistent.
Modifications:
Move everything to src/main/java
Result:
Consistent code base.
Motivation:
We not support all SSLParameters settings so we should better throw if a user try to use them.
Modifications:
- Check for unsupported parameters
- Add unit test
Result:
Less surprising behavior.
Motivation:
Commit 8dda984afe introduced a regression which lead to the situation that the allocator is not set when PooledByteBuf.initUnpooled(...) is called. Thus it was possible that PooledByteBuf.alloc() returns null or the wrong allocator if multiple PooledByteBufAllocator are used in an application.
Modifications:
- Correctly set the allocator
- Add test-case
Result:
Fixes [#6436].
Motivation:
Calling a static method is faster then dynamic
Modifications:
Add 'static' keyword for methods where it missed
Result:
A bit faster method calls
Motivation:
We shipped a javassist based implementation for typematching and logged a confusing debug message about missing javassist. We never were able to prove it really gives any perf improvements so we should just remove it.
Modifications:
- Remove javassist dependency and impl
- Fix possible classloader deadlock as reported by intellij
Result:
Less code to maintain and less confusing log message.
Motivation:
Base64#decode4to3 generally calculates an int value where the contents of the decodabet straddle bytes, and then uses a byte shifting or a full byte swapping operation to get the resulting contents. We can directly calculate the contents and avoid any intermediate int values and full byte swap operations. This will reduce the number of operations required during the decode operation.
Modifications:
- remove the intermediate int in the Base64#decond4to3 method.
- manually do the byte shifting since we are already doing bit/byte manipulations here anyways.
Result:
Base64#decode4to3 requires less operations to compute the end result.
Motivation:
The decode and encode method uses getByte(...) and setByte(...) in loops which can be very expensive because of bounds / reference-count checking. Beside this it also slows-down a lot when paranoid leak-detection is enabled as it will track each access.
Modifications:
- Pack bytes into int / short and so reduce operations on the ByteBuf
- Use ByteBufProcessor to reduce getByte calls.
Result:
Better performance in general. Also when you run the build with -Pleak the handler module will build in 1/4 of the time it took before.
