96f9b0b91b Remote flow controller incorrectly updates stream state
Motivation:

The `DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController` does not correctly determine `hasFrame` when updating the stream state for the distributor. Adding a check to enforce `hasFrame` when `streamableBytes > 0` causes several test failures.

Modifications:

Modified `DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController` to simplify the writing logic and to correct the bookkeeping for `hasFrame`.

Result:

The distributors are always called with valid arguments.

8accc52b03 Forking Twitter's hpack
Motivation:

The twitter hpack project does not have the support that it used to have.  See discussion here: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4403.

Modifications:

Created a new module in Netty and copied the latest from twitter hpack master.

Result:

Netty no longer depends on twitter hpack.

2f81364522 DefaultHttp2HeadersTest updates
Motivation:
Recently a bug was found in DefaultHttp2Headers where the state of the headers could be corrupted due to the extra tracking to make pseudo headers first during iteration. Unit tests did not catch this bug.

Modifications:
- Update unit tests to cover more methods

Result:
Unit tests for DefaultHttp2Headers have better code coverage.

6504d52b94 Add HTTP/2 local flow control option for auto refill
Motivation:

For many HTTP/2 applications (such as gRPC) it is necessary to autorefill the connection window in order to prevent application-level deadlocking.

Consider an application with 2 streams, A and B.  A receives a stream of messages and the application pops off one message at a time and makes a request on stream B. However, if receiving of data on A has caused the connection window to collapse, B will not be able to receive any data and the application will deadlock.  The only way (currently) to get around this is 1) use multiple connections, or 2) manually refill the connection window.  Both are undesirable and could needlessly complicate the application code.

Modifications:

Add a configuration option to DefaultHttp2LocalFlowController, allowing it to autorefill the connection window.

Result:

Applications can configure HTTP/2 to avoid inter-stream deadlocking.

91b8ef3d10 HTTP/2 PriorityStreamByteDistributor exceptions and reentry
Motivation:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor saves exception state and attempts to reset state. This could be simplified by just throwing a connection error and closing the connection. PriorityStreamByteDistributor also does not handle or detect re-entry in the distribute method.

Motivation:
- PriorityStreamByteDistributor propagate an INTERNAL_ERROR if an exception occurs during writing
- PriorityStreamByteDistributor to handle re-entry on the write method

Result:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor exception code state simplified, and re-entry is detected.

8f334885ef Reject the first SETTINGS ack on HTTP/2 Preface
Motivation:

Http2ConnectionHandler verifies if the first frame after the preface is
a SETTINGS frame.  However, it does not reject the SETTING ack frame
which is not expected actually.

Modifications:

Reject a SETTINGS-ack frame as well

Result:

When the first frame is a SETTINGS-ack frame, connection does not
proceed to further frame handling. (simplicity)

19658e9cd8 HTTP/2 Headers Type Updates
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2) indicates that header names consist of ASCII characters. We currently use ByteString to represent HTTP/2 header names. The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-10.3) also eludes to header values inheriting the same validity characteristics as HTTP/1.x. Using AsciiString for the value type of HTTP/2 headers would allow for re-use of predefined HTTP/1.x values, and make comparisons more intuitive. The Headers<T> interface could also be expanded to allow for easier use of header types which do not have the same Key and Value type.

Motivation:
- Change Headers<T> to Headers<K, V>
- Change Http2Headers<ByteString> to Http2Headers<CharSequence, CharSequence>
- Remove ByteString. Having AsciiString extend ByteString complicates equality comparisons when the hash code algorithm is no longer shared.

Result:
Http2Header types are more representative of the HTTP/2 RFC, and relationship between HTTP/2 header name/values more directly relates to HTTP/1.x header names/values.

d66520db1b Http2ConnectionHandler.BaseBuilder exception cleanup
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler.BaseBuilder is constructing objects which have 'close' methods, but is not calling these methods in the event of an exception.

Modifications:
- Objects which implement 'close' should have this method called if an exception is thrown and the build operation can not complete normally.

Result:
Objects are closed even if the build process encounters an error.

Modifications:

- Remove encoderMaxConcurrentStreams(...) method
- Throw exception if server mode is used and trying to enforce conncurrent streams.

Result:

06c3ae07a0 DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder write ping buffer
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder writes a ACK when receiving a ping frame and sends the same data buffer it received. The data buffer is also passed to the listener, but the indexes are shared between the send and the listener. We should ensure the indexes are independent for these two operations.

Modifications:
- Call slice on the buffer that is being sent

Result:
Listener now has access to a buffer that will not appear to be already consumed.

284e3702d8 Http2ConnectionHandler Builder instead of constructors
Motivation:
Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons:
1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this.
2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction.

Modifications:
- Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects
- Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler

Result:
It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.

1485a87e25 Http2ConnectionHandler and Http2FrameListener cyclic dependency
Motivation:
It is often the case that implementations of Http2FrameListener will want to send responses when data is read. The Http2FrameListener needs access to the Http2ConnectionHandler (or the encoder contained within) to be able to send responses. However the Http2ConnectionHandler requires a Http2FrameListener instance to be passed in during construction time. This creates a cyclic dependency which can make it difficult to cleanly accomplish this relationship.

Modifications:
- Add Http2ConnectionDecoder.frameListener(..) method to set the frame listener. This will allow the listener to be set after construction.

Result:
Classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler can more cleanly set the Http2FrameListener.

0e9545e94d Http2RemoteFlowController stream writibility listener
Motivation:
For implementations that want to manage flow control down to the stream level it is useful to be notified when stream writability changes.

Modifications:
- Add writabilityChanged to Http2RemoteFlowController.Listener
- Add isWritable to Http2RemoteFlowController

Result:
The Http2RemoteFlowController provides notification when writability of a stream changes.

7ab132f28a Making HTTP/2 stream byte assignment pluggable
Motivation:

The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController has become very large and is getting difficult to understand and maintain. It is also desirable for some applications to be able to disable the priority algorithm altogether for performance reasons.

Modifications:

Abstract the stream byte assignment logic (renamed allocation->assignment for clarity) behind an interface `StreamByteAssigner` with a single implementation `PriorityStreamByteAssigner`.

Result:

Goes some way towards supporting #4246

93011dd315 DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController not allocating all available bytes
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController's allocation algorithm may not allocate all bytes that are available in the connection window. If the 'fair share' based upon weight is not fully used by sibling nodes it was not correctly re-distributed to other sibilings which may be able to utilize part / all of that share.

Modifications:
- Add a unit test which demonstrates the issue.
- Modify the allocation algorithm to ensure all available bytes are allocated.

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4266

c372f69118 http2.HttpConversionUtil :authority conversion error
Motiviation:
The http2 spec https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.3 states that the :authority header should be copied into the HOST header when converting from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.x. We currently have an extension header to preserve the authority.

Modifications:
- Remove AUTHORITY extension header
- HTTP/2 :authority should map to HOST header when converting to HTTP/1.x.

Result:
More spec compliant.

edb91afcd6 Http2LifecycleManager.onException rename
Motivation:
Http2LifecycleManager.onException takes a Throwable as a paramter and not an Exception. There are also onConnectionError and onStreamError methods in the codec. We should rename this method to onError for consistency and clarity.

Modifications:
- Rename Http2LifecycleManager.onException to Http2LifecycleManager.onError

Result:
More consistent and clarified interface.

24c9407080 DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController may not write all pending bytes
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController attempts to write as many bytes as possible to transition the channel to not writable, and then relies on notification of channelWritabilityChange to continue writing. However the amount of bytes written by DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController may not be the same number of bytes that is actually written to the channel due to other ChannelHandlers (SslHandler, compression, etc...) in the pipeline. This means there is a potential for the DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController to be waiting for a channel writaiblity change event that will never come, and thus not write all queued data.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController should write pending bytes until there are no more, or until the channel is not writable.

Result:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController will write all pending data.

c7e3f6c6fd HTTP/2 defines using String instead of CharSequence
Motivation:
Http2CodecUtils has some static variables which are defined as Strings instead of CharSequence. One of these defines is used as a header name and should be AsciiString.

Modifications:
- Change the String defines in Http2CodecUtils to CharSequence

Result:
Types are more consistently using CharSequence and adding the upgrade header will require less work.

1d4d5fe312 DefaultHttp2Headers should throw exception of type Http2Exception
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Headers code is throwing a IllegalArgumentException if an invalid character is detected. This is being ignored by the HTTP/2 codec instead of generating a GOAWAY.

Modifications:
- Throw a Http2Exception of type PROTOCOL_ERROR in accordance with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.6
- Update examples which were building invalid headers

Result:
More compliant with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.6

15450af2e7 DefaultHttp2FrameWriter ping payload size check
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 spec states that the ping frame length must be 8 and is otherwise an error https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.7. The DefaultHttp2FrameReader enforces this, but the DefaultHttp2FrameWriter allows invalid frames to be written. We should not allow invalid ping frames to be written to the network.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2FrameWriter checks the frame size to be 8, or throws an exception

59600f1812 HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.x headers conversion more accessible
Motivation:
Currently there is a HttpConversionUtil.addHttp2ToHttpHeaders which requires a FullHttpMessage, but this may not always be available. There is no interface that can be used with just Http2Headers and HttpHeaders.

Modifications:
- add an overload for HttpConversionUtil.addHttp2ToHttpHeaders which does not take FullHttpMessage

Result:
An overload for HttpConversionUtil.addHttp2ToHttpHeaders exists which does not require FullHttpMessage.

ba11879c9f HTTP/2 codec heap buffer usage
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 codec has a few static buffers sent over the network which are allocated on the heap. This results in a copy operation when the buffer is sent out on the network.

Modifications:
- Ensure these static buffers are allocated using direct memory.

Result:
No copy operation necessary when writing static buffers to network.

f89dfb0bd5 Deprecation cleanup for HTTP headers
Motivaion:
The HttpHeaders and DefaultHttpHeaders have methods deprecated due to being removed in future releases, but no replacement method to use in the current release. The deprecation policy should not be so aggressive as to not provide any non-deprecated method to use.

Modifications:
- Remove deprecated annotations and javadocs from methods which are the best we can do in terms of matching the master's api for 4.1

Result:
There should be non-deprecated methods available for HttpHeaders in 4.1.

08477eaf03 HTTP/2 Graceful Shutdown Timeout
Motivation:
If any streams are still active the graceful shutdown code will wait until they are all closed before the connection is closed. In some situations this event may never occur, and thus a timeout should be supported so the socket can be closed even if all streams haven't been closed.

Modifications:
- Add a configurable timeout for when the graceful shutdown process is attempted.
- Update unit tests to be faster, and use this graceful timeout

Result:
Local endpoint can protect from local or remote issues which prevent the channel from being closed during the graceful shutdown process.

6fd0a0c55f Faster and more memory efficient headers for HTTP, HTTP/2, STOMP and SPYD. Fixes #3600
Motivation:

We noticed that the headers implementation in Netty for HTTP/2 uses quite a lot of memory
and that also at least the performance of randomly accessing a header is quite poor. The main
concern however was memory usage, as profiling has shown that a DefaultHttp2Headers
not only use a lot of memory it also wastes a lot due to the underlying hashmaps having
to be resized potentially several times as new headers are being inserted.

This is tracked as issue #3600.

Modifications:
We redesigned the DefaultHeaders to simply take a Map object in its constructor and
reimplemented the class using only the Map primitives. That way the implementation
is very concise and hopefully easy to understand and it allows each concrete headers
implementation to provide its own map or to even use a different headers implementation
for processing requests and writing responses i.e. incoming headers need to provide
fast random access while outgoing headers need fast insertion and fast iteration. The
new implementation can support this with hardly any code changes. It also comes
with the advantage that if the Netty project decides to add a third party collections library
as a dependency, one can simply plug in one of those very fast and memory efficient map
implementations and get faster and smaller headers for free.

For now, we are using the JDK's TreeMap for HTTP and HTTP/2 default headers.

Result:

- Significantly fewer lines of code in the implementation. While the total commit is still
  roughly 400 lines less, the actual implementation is a lot less. I just added some more
  tests and microbenchmarks.

- Overall performance is up. The current implementation should be significantly faster
  for insertion and retrieval. However, it is slower when it comes to iteration. There is simply
  no way a TreeMap can have the same iteration performance as a linked list (as used in the
  current headers implementation). That's totally fine though, because when looking at the
  benchmark results @ejona86 pointed out that the performance of the headers is completely
  dominated by insertion, that is insertion is so significantly faster in the new implementation
  that it does make up for several times the iteration speed. You can't iterate what you haven't
  inserted. I am demonstrating that in this spreadsheet [1]. (Actually, iteration performance is
  only down for HTTP, it's significantly improved for HTTP/2).

- Memory is down. The implementation with TreeMap uses on avg ~30% less memory. It also does not
  produce any garbage while being resized. In load tests for GRPC we have seen a memory reduction
  of up to 1.2KB per RPC. I summarized the memory improvements in this spreadsheet [1]. The data
  was generated by [2] using JOL.

- While it was my original intend to only improve the memory usage for HTTP/2, it should be similarly
  improved for HTTP, SPDY and STOMP as they all share a common implementation.

Motivation:

When looking through the logs for entries pertaining to a specific stream, it's difficult because header entries use the syntax "streamId:<id>" but all other entries use "streamId=<id>". We should make all of the entries consistent.

Modifications:

Changed header entries to use "streamId=<id>" to match the other entries.

Result:

Easier HTTP/2 log navigation.

57d28dd421 Support conversion of HttpMessage and HttpContent to HTTP/2 Frames
Motivation:

HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandler only converts FullHttpMessage to HTTP/2 Frames. This does not support other use cases such as adding a HttpContentCompressor to the pipeline, which writes HttpMessage and HttpContent.

Additionally HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandler ignores converting and sending HTTP trailing headers, which is a bug as the HTTP/2 spec states that they should be sent.

Modifications:

Update HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandler to support converting HttpMessage and HttpContent to HTTP/2 Frames.
Additionally, include an extra call to writeHeaders if the message includes trailing headers

Result:

One can now write HttpMessage and HttpContent (http chunking) down the pipeline and they will be converted to HTTP/2 Frames.  If any trailing headers exist, they will be converted and sent as well.

74dd7f85ca HTTP/2 Thread Context Interface Clarifications
Motivation:
It is currently assumed that all usages of the HTTP/2 codec will be from the same event loop context. If the methods are used outside of the assumed thread context then unexpected behavior is observed. This assumption should be more clearly communicated and enforced in key areas.

Modifications:
- The flow controller interfaces have assert statements and updated javadocs indicating the assumptions.

9747ffe5fc HTTP/2 Flow Controller should use Channel.isWritable()
Motivation:
See #3783

Modifications:
- The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController should use Channel.isWritable() before attempting to do any write operations.
- The Flow controller methods should no longer take ChannelHandlerContext. The concept of flow control is tied to a connection and we do not support 1 flow controller keeping track of multiple ChannelHandlerContext.

Result:
Writes are delayed until isWritable() is true. Flow controller interface methods are more clear as to ChannelHandlerContext restrictions.

aaba1b9ed5 Accept over 2^31-1 MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE
Motivation:

The MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE of SETTINGS is represented by
unsigned 32-bit value and this value isn't limited in RFC7540.
But in current implementation, its stored to int variable so
over 2^31-1 value is recognized as minus and handled as
PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Modifications:

If a value of MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is larger than 2^31-1, its
handled as 2^31-1

Result:

Over 2^31-1 MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is became acceptable

60c59f39af Use CoalescingBufferQueue to merge data writes on a stream in HTTP2 instead of CompositeByteBuf
Motivation:

Slicing a mutable CompositeByteBuf is not the appropriate mechanism to use to track and release buffers that have been written to a channel.
In particular buffers passed over an Embedded or LocalChannel are retained after the ChannelPromise is completed and listening to the
promise to consolidate a CompositeBuffer breaks slices taken from the composite as the offset indices have changed.

In addition CoalescingBufferQueue handles taking arbitrarily sized slices of a sequence of buffers more efficiently.

Modifications:

Convert FlowControlledData to use a CoalescingBufferQueue to handle merging data writes.

Result:

HTTP2 works over LocalChannel and code is considerably simpler.

Motivation:

Sometimes people use a data frame with length 0 to end a stream(such as jetty http2-server). So it is possible that data.readableBytes and padding are all 0 for a data frame, and cause an IllegalArgumentException when calling flowController.consumeBytes.

Modifications:

Return false when numBytes == 0 instead of throwing IllegalArgumentException.

Result:

ecacd11b06 HTTP/2 limit header accumulated size
Motivation:
The Http2FrameListener requires that the Http2FrameReader accumulate ByteBuf objects. There is currently no way to limit the amount of bytes that is accumulated.

Motiviation:
- DefaultHttp2FrameReader supports maxHeaderSize which will fail fast as soon as the maximum size is exceeded.
- DefaultHttp2HeadersDecoder will respect the return value of endHeaderBlock() and fail if the max size is exceeded.

Result:
Frames which carry header data now respect a maximum number of bytes that can be accumulated.

05ce33f5ca Make the flow-controllers write fewer, fatter frames to improve throughput.
Motivation:

Coalescing many small writes into a larger DATA frame reduces framing overheads on the wire and reduces the number of calls to Http2FrameListeners on the remote side.
Delaying the write of WINDOW_UPDATE until flush allows for more consumed bytes to be returned as the aggregate of consumed bytes is returned and not the amount consumed when the threshold was crossed.

Modifications:
- Remote flow controller no longer immediately writes bytes when a flow-controlled payload is enqueued. Sequential data payloads are now merged into a single CompositeByteBuf which are written when 'writePendingBytes' is called.
- Listener added to remote flow-controller which observes written bytes per stream.
- Local flow-controller no longer immediately writes WINDOW_UPDATE when the ratio threshold is crossed. Now an explicit call to 'writeWindowUpdates' triggers the WINDOW_UPDATE for all streams who's ratio is exceeded at that time. This results in
  fewer window updates being sent and more bytes being returned.
- Http2ConnectionHandler.flush triggers 'writeWindowUpdates' on the local flow-controller followed by 'writePendingBytes' on the remote flow-controller so WINDOW_UPDATES preceed DATA frames on the wire.

Result:
- Better throughput for writing many small DATA chunks followed by a flush, saving 9-bytes per coalesced frame.
- Fewer WINDOW_UPDATES being written and more flow-control bytes returned to remote side more quickly, thereby improving throughput.

1ecc37fbb2 Better error when first HTTP/2 frame is not SETTINGS
Motivation:

Bootstrap of the HTTP/2 can take a lot of paths and a lot of things can go wrong in the initial handshakes leading up to establishment of HTTP/2 between client and server. There have been many times where handshakes have failed silently, leading to very cryptic errors that are hard to debug.

Modifications:

Changed the HTTP/2 handler and decoder to ensure that the very first data on the wire (WRT HTTP/2) is SETTINGS/preface+SETTINGS. When this is not the case, a connection error is thrown with the bytes that were found instead.

Result:

0ca65f1373 Lazily instantiate HttpServerUpgradeHandler.UpgradeCodec
Related: #3814

Motivation:

To implement the support for an upgrade from cleartext HTTP/1.1
connection to cleartext HTTP/2 (h2c) connection, a user usually uses
HttpServerUpgradeHandler.

It does its job, but it requires a user to instantiate the UpgradeCodecs
for all supported protocols upfront. It means redundancy for the
connections that are not upgraded.

Modifications:

- Change the constructor of HttpServerUpgradeHandler
  - Accept UpgraceCodecFactory instead of UpgradeCodecs
- The default constructor of HttpServerUpgradeHandler sets the
  maxContentLength to 0 now, which shouldn't be a problem because a
  usual upgrade request is a GET.
- Update the examples accordingly

Result:

A user can instantiate Http2ServerUpgradeCodec and its related objects
(Http2Connection, Http2FrameReader/Writer, Http2FrameListener, etc) only
when necessary.

Our HTTP/2 implementation sometimes uses hard-coded handler names when

  - Use null as the default upgrade handler name
- Do not use handler name strings in some test cases and examples

afb46b926f Improve the API design of Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser
Related: #3641 and #3813

Motivation:

When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.

Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.

The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.

Modifications:

- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
  'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
  exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
  select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
  anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
  application protocol
  - SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
    only, so that it conforms to its contract.

Result:

- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box

fd22af8377 HTTP/2 GOAWAY Reference Count Issue
Motiviation:
The Http2ConnectionHandler is incrementing the reference count in the goAway method for the debugData buffer after it has already been sent and maybe consumed. This may result in an IllegalRefCountException to be thrown. The unit tests also encounter buffer leaks because they have not been updated to invoke the listener which releases the buffer in the goAway method.

Modifications:
- The retain() call should be before the frameWriter().writeGoAway(...) call
- The unit tests which call goAway must also invoke the operationComplete(..) method for the listener.

Result:
No IllegalRefCountException. Less buffer leaks in tests.

4ae8bdc6ec Allowing inbound HTTP/2 frames after sending GOAWAY
Motivation:

If the client closes, a GOWAY is sent with a lastKnownStream of zero (since the remote side never created a stream). If there is still an exchange in progress, inbound frames for streams created by the client will be ignored because our ignore logic doesn't check to see if the stream was created by the remote endpoint. Frames for streams created by the local endpoint should continue to come through after sending GOAWAY.

Modifications:

Changed the decoder's streamCreatedAfterGoAwaySent logic to properly ensure that the stream was created remotely.

Result:

We now propertly process frames received after sending GOAWAY.

60a94f0c5f Fixing isDone in SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator
Motivation:

The isDone method is currently broken in the aggregator because the doneAllocatingPromises accidentally calls the overridden version of setSuccess, rather than calling the base class version. This causes the base class's version to never be called since allowNotificationEvent will evaluate to false. This means that setSuccess0 will never be set, resulting in isDone always returning false.

Modifications:

Changed setSuccess() to call the base class when appropriate, regardless of the result of allowNotificationEvent.

Result:

isDone now behaves properly for the promise aggregator.

ee9233d8fa HTTP/2 Flow Controller required memory reduction
Motivation:
Currently we allocate the full amount of state for each stream as soon as the stream is created, and keep that state until the stream is GC. The full set of state is only needed when the stream can support flow controlled frames. There is an opportunity to reduce the required amount of memory, and make memory eligible for GC sooner by only allocating what is necessary for flow control stream state.

Modifications:

Introduce objects which require 'less' state for local/remote flow control stream state.
Use these new objects when streams have been created but will not transition out of idle AND when streams are no longer eligible for flow controlled frame transfer but still must persist in the priority tree.
Result:
Memory allocations are reduced to what is actually needed, and memory is made eligible for GC potentially sooner.

541137cc93 HTTP/2 Flow Controller interface updates
Motivation:
Flow control is a required part of the HTTP/2 specification but it is currently structured more like an optional item. It must be accessed through the property map which is time consuming and does not represent its required nature. This access pattern does not give any insight into flow control outside of the codec (or flow controller implementation).

Modifications:
1. Create a read only public interface for LocalFlowState and RemoteFlowState.
2. Add a LocalFlowState localFlowState(); and RemoteFlowState remoteFlowState(); to Http2Stream.

Result:
Flow control is not part of the Http2Stream interface. This clarifies its responsibility and logical relationship to other interfaces. The flow controller no longer must be acquired though a map lookup.

9a7a85dbe5 ByteString introduced as AsciiString super class
Motivation:
The usage and code within AsciiString has exceeded the original design scope for this class. Its usage as a binary string is confusing and on the verge of violating interface assumptions in some spots.

Modifications:
- ByteString will be created as a base class to AsciiString. All of the generic byte handling processing will live in ByteString and all the special character encoding will live in AsciiString.

Results:
The AsciiString interface will be clarified. Users of AsciiString can now be clear of the limitations the class imposes while users of the ByteString class don't have to live with those limitations.

4a79c5899c HTTP/2 Connection Listener Unchecked Exceptions
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Connection is not checking for RuntimeExceptions when invoking Http2Connection.Listener methods. This is a problem for a few reasons: 1. The state of DefaultHttp2Connection will be corrupted if a listener throws a RuntimeException. 2. If the first listener throws then no other listeners will be notified, which may further corrupt state that is updated as a result of listeners being notified.

Modifications:
- Document that RuntimeExceptions are not supported for Http2Connection.Listener methods, and will be logged as an error.
- Update DefaultHttp2Connection to handle and exception for each listener that is notified, and be sure that 1 listener throwing an exception does not prevent others from being notified.

Result:
More robust DefaultHttp2Connection.

e3374e5b1d Removing direct access to HTTP/2 child streams.
Motivation:

We've removed access to the activeStreams collection, we should do the same for the children of a stream to provide a consistent interface.

Modifications:

Moved Http2StreamVisitor to a top-level interface. Removed unnecessary child operations from the Http2Stream interface so that we no longer require a map structure.

Result:

Cleaner and more consistent interface for iterating over child streams.

83ce8a9187 HTTP/2 Prevent modification of activeStreams while iterating
Motivation:
The Http2Connection interface exposes an activeStreams() method which allows direct iteration over the underlying collection. There are a few places that make copies of this collection to avoid modification while iterating, and a few places that do not make copies. The copy operation can be expensive on hot code paths and also we are not consistently iterating over the activeStreams collection.

Modifications:
- The Http2Connection interface should reduce the exposure of the underlying collection and just expose what is necessary for the interface to function.  This is just a means to iterate over the collection.
- The DefaultHttp2Connection should use this new interface and protect it's internal state while iteration is occurring.

Result:
Reduction in surface area of the Http2Connection interface.  Consistent iteration of the set of active streams.  Concurrent modification exceptions are handled in 1 encapsulated spot.

d5d932a739 Fix GOAWAY logic in Http2Encoder and Http2Decoder.
Motivation:

1) The current implementation doesn't allow for HEADERS, DATA, PING, PRIORITY and SETTINGS
   frames to be sent after GOAWAY.

2) When receiving or sending a GOAWAY frame, all streams with ids greater than the lastStreamId
   of the GOAWAY frame should be closed. That's not happening.

Modifications:

1) Allow sending of HEADERS and DATA frames after GOAWAY for streams with ids < lastStreamId.
2) Always allow sending PING, PRIORITY AND SETTINGS frames.
3) Allow sending multiple GOAWAY frames with decreasing lastStreamIds.
4) After receiving or sending a GOAWAY frame, close all streams with ids > lastStreamId.

Result:

The GOAWAY handling is more correct.

3ae343b768 HTTP/2 DefaultHttp2Connection recursive call fix
Motivation:
There are methods to manipulate the prioritzable count for streams which have the '0' postfix which are designed to be used during recursion.  However these methods are calling out to an external method without the '0' during the recursive process.  This is doing uneccessary conditional checks during recursion.

Modifications:
Change the decrementPrioritizableForTree to decrementPrioritizableForTree0 while in recursive method.
Change the incrementPrioritizableForTree to incrementPrioritizableForTree0 while in recursive method.

Result:
Less overhead during recursive calls.

Motiviation:
The interface provided by Http2LifecycleManager is not clear as to how the writeXXX methods should behave.  The implementation of this interface from the Http2ConnectionHandler's perspecitve is unclear what writeXXX means in this context.

Modifications:
- Method names in Http2LifecycleManager and Http2ConnectionHandler should be renamed and comments should clarify the interfaces.

Results:
Http2LifecycleManager is more clear and Http2ConnectionHandler's implementation makes sense w.r.t to return values.

609e065fcf HTTP/2 Headers Code Using String instead of AsciiString
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 headers code should be using binary string (currently AsciiString) objects instead of String objects. The DefaultHttp2HeadersEncoder was still using String for sensitiveHeaders.

Modifications:
- Remove the usage of String from DefaultHttp2HeadersEncoder.
- Introduce an interface to determine if a header name/value is sensitive or not to 1. prevent necessarily creating/copying sets. 2. Allow the name/value to be considered when checking if sensitive.

Result:
No more String in DefaultHttp2HeadersEncoder and less required set creation/operations.

e5d01c4caf HTTP/2 HEADERS stream dependency fix
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder has the setPriority call after the Http2FrameListener is notified of the change. The setPriority call has additional verification logic and may even create the dependency stream and so it must be before the Http2FrameListener is notified.

Modifications:
The DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should treat the setPriority call in the same for the HEADERS and PRIORITY frame (call it before notifying the listener).

Result:
Http2FrameListener should see correct state when a HEADERS frame has a stream dependency that has not yet been created yet.  Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3572.

Motivation:

We are allocating a hash map for every HTTP2 Stream to store it's children.
Most streams are leafs in the priority tree and don't have children.

Modification:

 - Only allocate children when we actually use them.
 - Make EmptyIntObjectMap not throw a UnsupportedOperationException on remove, but return null instead (as is stated in it's javadoc).

Motivation:

In a simple load test that creates and closes several 10k streams per second
I have seen Iterator objects using roughly 1.6% of the total committed heap.

Modifications:

Use an ArrayList instead of a LinkedHashSet to store the connection listeners.
That way we can iterate over the list without creating an iterator every time.

Result:

Zero Iterator allocations due to notifying connection listeners.

7f2ddb2162 HTTP/2 Closed Streams Conditional Priority Tree Removal
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 specification allows for closed (and streams in any state) to exist in the priority tree. The current code removes streams from the priority tree as soon as they are closed (subject to the removal policy). This may lead to undesired distribution of resources from the peer's perspective.

Modifications:
- We should only remove streams from the priority tree when they have no descendant streams in a viable state.
- We should track when tree edges change or nodes are removed if inviable nodes can then be removed.

Result:
Priority tree doesn't remove closed streams until descendant are all closed, or there are no descendants.

Motivation:
The encoder/decoder currently do not handle streams which have previously existed but no longer exist because they were closed. The specification requires supporting this.

Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder class is calling verifyPrefaceReceived() for almost every frame event at all times.
The Http2ConnectionHandler class is calling readClientPrefaceString() on every decode event.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should not have to continuously call verifyPrefaceReceived() because it transitions boolean state 1 time for each connection.
- Http2ConnectionHandler should not have to continuously call readClientPrefaceString() because it transitions boolean state 1 time for each connection.

Result:
- Less conditional checks for the mainstream usage of the connection.

bb059c070f Decoupling allocation from writing in HTTP/2 outbound flow control
Motivation:

The current DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController's writePendingBytes currently operates in 2 passes. The first allocates bytes and optionally writes some frames. The second pass just loops across all active streams and writes all remaining bytes.

If streams can be removed/added as a side effect of writing (EOS or error) then we need to take more care when the write actually occurs. Moving all of the writes to the second loop (across active streams) is simpler since we can just make a copy of the list and not worry about any restructuring of the priority tree that may result.

Modifications:

Modified DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.writePendingBytes to only allocate bytes on the first pass and then write any allocated bytes on the second pass.

Result:

Side effects resulting from writing should no longer impact the flow control algorithm.

d857b16d76 Http/2 RST_STREAM frame robustness
Motivation:
The Http2ConnectionHandler writeRstStream method allows RST_STREAM frames to be sent when we do not know about the stream and after a RST_STREAM frame has already been sent.  This may lead to sending frames when we should not according to the HTTP/2 spec. There is also the potential to notify the closeListener multiple times if the closeStream method is called multiple times.

Modifications:
- Prevent RST_STREAM from being sent if we don't know about the stream, or if we already sent the RST_STREAM.
- Prevent the closeListener from being notified multiple times.

Result:
More robust writeRstStream logic in boundary conditions.

9bad408de5 HTTP2: Close encoder and decoder on channelInactive and initialize clientPrefaceString on handlerAdded.
Motivation:

- The encoder and decoder should be closed right after the handler releases its resources.
- The clientPrefaceString is allocated in the constructor but releases in handlerRemoved.
  If the handler is never added to the pipeline, the clientPrefaceString will never be
  released.

Modifications:

- Call encoder.close() and decoder.close() on channelInactive.
- Release the clientPrefaceString on handlerRemoved.

Result:

- The encoder and decoder get closed right after the handler's resources are freed.
- It's easier to verify that the clientPrefaceString will also get released.

88beae6838 Fix premature cancelation of pending frames in HTTP2 Flow Control.
Motivation:

If HEADERS or DATA frames are pending due to a too small flow control
window, a frame with the END_STREAM flag set will wrongfully cancel
all pending frames (including itself).

Also see grpc/grpc-java#145

Modifications:

The transition of the stream state to CLOSE / HALF_CLOSE due to a
set END_STREAM flag is delayed until the frame with the flag is
actually written to the Channel.

Result:

Flow control works correctly. Frames with END_STREAM flag will no
longer cancel their preceding frames.

8b5f2d7716 Http2DefaultFrameWriter direct write instead of copy
Motivation:
The Http2DefaultFrameWriter copies all contents into a buffer (or uses a CompositeBuffer in 1 case) and then writes that buffer to the socket. There is an opportunity to avoid the copy operations and write directly to the socket.

Modifications:
- Http2DefaultFrameWriter should avoid copy operations where possible.
- The Http2FrameWriter interface should be clarified to indicate that ByteBuf objects will be released.

Result:
Hopefully less allocation/copy leads to memory and throughput performance benefit.

bc76bfa199 Consolidating HTTP/2 stream state
Motivation:

Http2Stream has several methods that provide state information. We need
to simplify how state is used and consolidate as many of these fields as
possible.

Modifications:

Since we already have a concept of a stream being active or inactive,
I'm now separating the deactivation of a stream from the act of closing
it.  The reason for this is the case of sending a frame with
endOfStream=true. In this case we want to close the stream immediately
in order to disallow further writing, but we don't want to mark the
stream as inactive until the write has completed since the inactive
event triggers the flow controller to cancel any pending writes on the
stream.

With deactivation separated out, we are able to eliminate most of the
additional state methods with the exception of `isResetSent`.  This is
still required because we need to ignore inbound frames in this case (as
per the spec), since the remote endpoint may not yet know that the
stream has been closed.

Result:

Fixes #3382

8bbfcb05a0 Make flow-controller a write-queue for HEADERS and DATA
Motivation:

Previously flow-controller had to know the implementation details of each frame type in order to write it correctly. That concern is more correctly handled by the encoder. By encapsulating the payload types to be flow-controlled it will be easier to add support for extension types later. This change also fixes #3353.

Modifications:

Add interface FlowControlled which is now delivered to flow-controller.
Implement this interface for HEADERS and DATA
Refactor and improve tests for flow-control.

Flow control semantics are more cleanly separated for data encoding and implementation is simpler overall.

Motivation:
A downstream consumer of Netty failed as emitting zero-length http2 data frames in a unit test resulted in assertion errors in Http2LocalFlowController. Since zero-length frames are valid, an assertion that http2 data frame length must be positive is invalid.

Modifications:

Assertions of data length in Http2LocalFlowController now permit zero.

Those running netty with assertions on can now emit zero length http2 data frames.

Motivation:

HTTP/2 codec was implemented in master branch.
Since, master is not yet stable and will be some time before it gets released, backporting it to 4.1, enables people to use the codec with a stable netty version.

Modification:

The code has been copied from master branch as is, with minor modifications to suit the `ChannelHandler` API in 4.x.
Apart from that change, there are two backward incompatible API changes included, namely,

- Added an abstract method:

  `public abstract Map.Entry<CharSequence, CharSequence> forEachEntry(EntryVisitor<CharSequence> visitor)
            throws Exception;`

to `HttpHeaders` and implemented the same in `DefaultHttpHeaders` as a delegate to the internal `TextHeader` instance.

- Added a method:

`FullHttpMessage copy(ByteBuf newContent);`

in `FullHttpMessage` with the implementations copied from relevant places in the master branch.

- Added missing abstract method related to setting/adding short values to `HttpHeaders`

Result:

HTTP/2 codec can be used with netty 4.1
