- Make PoolSubpage a linked list node in the pool
- Now that a subpage is added to and removed from the pool correctly, allocating a subpage from the pool became vastly simpler.
- Rename directbyDefault to preferDirect
- Add a system property 'io.netty.prederDirect' to allow a user from changing the preference on launch-time
- Merge UnpooledByteBufAllocator.DEFAULT_BY_* to DEFAULT
- Rename ChannelHandlerAdapter to ChannelDuplexHandler
- Add ChannelHandlerAdapter that implements only ChannelHandler
- Rename CombinedChannelHandler to CombinedChannelDuplexHandler and
improve runtime validation
- Remove ChannelInbound/OutboundHandlerAdapter which are not useful
- Make ChannelOutboundByteHandlerAdapter similar to
ChannelInboundByteHandlerAdapter
- Make the tail and head handler of DefaultChannelPipeline accept both
bytes and messages. ChannelHandlerContext.hasNext*() were removed
because they always return true now.
- Removed various unnecessary null checks.
- Correct method/field names:
inboundBufferSuspended -> channelReadSuspended
- Move common methods from ByteBuf to Buf
- Rename ensureWritableBytes() to ensureWritable()
- Rename readable() to isReadable()
- Rename writable() to isWritable()
- Add isReadable(int) and isWritable(int)
- Add AbstractMessageBuf
- Rewrite DefaultMessageBuf and QueueBackedMessageBuf
- based on Josh Bloch's public domain ArrayDeque impl
- Rename message types for clarity
- HttpMessage -> FullHttpMessage
- HttpHeader -> HttpMessage
- HttpRequest -> FullHttpRequest
- HttpResponse -> FulllHttpResponse
- HttpRequestHeader -> HttpRequest
- HttpResponseHeader -> HttpResponse
- HttpContent now extends ByteBufHolder; no more content() method
- Make HttpHeaders abstract, make its header access methods public, and
add DefaultHttpHeaders
- Header accessor methods in HttpMessage and LastHttpContent are
replaced with HttpMessage.headers() and
LastHttpContent.trailingHeaders(). Both methods return HttpHeaders.
- Remove setters wherever possible and remove 'get' prefix
- Instead of calling setContent(), a user can either specify the content
when constructing a message or write content into the buffer.
(e.g. m.content().writeBytes(...))
- Overall cleanup & fixes
Now that we are going to use buffer pooling by default, it is obvious
that a user will forget to call .free() and report memory leak. In this
case, we should have a tool to determine if it is a bug in our allocator
implementation or in the user's code.
This pull request adds a system property flag called
'io.netty.resourceLeakDetection'. If set, when a user forgets to call
.free(), the ResourceLeakDetector will detect it and log a message with
detailed stack trace to tell where the leaked buffer has been allocated.
Because obtaining stack trace is an expensive operation, I used sampling
technique. Allocation is recorded only for every 113th allocation. I
chose 113 because it's a prime number.
In production, a user might not want to enable this option due to
potential performance impact. If a user does not specify the
'-Dio.netty.resourceLeakDetection' option leak detection is disabled.
Even if the leak detection is enabled, the overhead should be less than
5% because only ~1% of allocations are monitored.
I also replaced SharedResourceMisuseDetector with ResourceLeakDetector.
- Add PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf, a variant of PooledDirectByteBuf, which
accesses its underlying direct ByteBuffer using sun.misc.Unsafe.
- To decouple Netty from sun.misc.*, sun.misc.Unsafe is accessed via
PlatformDependent.
- This change solely introduces about 8+% improvement in direct memory
access according to the tests conducted as described in #918
