Motivation:
As JDK17 is really close to be released we should add a CI job for it to ensure netty works correctly when using it.
Modifications:
Add docker config and workflow config to run CI job for JDK17
Result:
Ensure netty works on JDK17 as well
Motivation:
Sometimes intellij fails to build because the compiler cant really figure out what to do. We can workaround this by adding some explicit casts.
Modifications:
Add explicits casts
Result:
No more problems with intellij
Motivation:
We should add some docs / comment to explain what io.netty.leakDetection.acquireAndReleaseOnly is all about.
Modifications:
Add some comments
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11576.
Motivation:
0c9a86db81 added a change to log a message if someone tried to change the TLSv1.3 ciphers when using BoringSSL. Unfortunally the code had some error and so even if the user did not change these we logged something.
Modifications:
- Ensure there are no duplicates in the ciphers
- Correctly take TLSv1.3 extra ciphers into account when using BoringSSL
Result:
Correctly log or not log
Motivation:
The deprecated ThreadDeathWatcher produces more garbage and can delay resource release, when compared to manual resource management.
Modification:
Remove the ThreadDeathWatcher and other deprecated APIs that rely on it.
Result:
Less deprecated code.
__Motivation__
Since request.headers().getAll() will never return null. And the check null condition will not work as expected.
__Modification__
Add isEmpty() checking as well.
__Result__
Fixes#11568
Motivation:
The MacOS-specific `connectx(2)` system call make it possible to establish client-side connections with TCP FastOpen.
Modification:
Add support for TCP FastOpen to the KQueue transport, and add the `connectx(2)` system call to `BsdSocket`.
Result:
It's now possible to use TCP FastOpen when initiating connections on MacOS.
Motivation:
This test is inherently flaky due to file descriptor reuse.
Even though we have taken steps to make it less flaky, it still fails sometimes.
When it does, the error message is not very helpful.
Modification:
Make use of assertThrows and assertThat to get more descriptive error messages when the tests fail.
Result:
More meaningful messages on test failures, which may help us make the tests more resilient in the future
Motivation:
A number of classes and APIs around the ResourceLeakDetector have been deprecated for removal in Netty 5.x, because better alternatives exist.
Modification:
Remove everything in and around ResourceLeakDetector that is deprecated, and fix the few usages that were found.
Result:
Less deprecated code.
Motivation:
This class was deprecated, since a better alternative exists in `PromiseCombiner`.
Modification:
Remove `PromiseAggregator`, its Channel companion, and its test.
Result:
Less deprecated code.
Motivation:
There are lots of redundant variable declarations which should be inlined to make good look better.
Modification:
Made variables inlined.
Result:
Less redundant variable and more readable code.
Motivation:
TCP FastOpen is a pure optimisation, that is opportunistically applied.
There is no reason to make it specific to the epoll transport, and in the future we could add support to other transports.
Besides, the client-side equivalent, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, is already transport agnostic.
Modification:
Move the TCP_FASTOPEN channel option from EpollChannelOption to ChannelOption.
Mark the field in EpollChannelOption as deprecated.
Result:
All channel options related to TCP FastOpen are now transport agnostic.
However, we still only actually support TFO on the epoll transport.
Motivation:
io.netty.http2.validateContentLength SystemProperty was added as a way
to opt-out for compabitility for libraries/applications that violated
the RFC's content-length matching requirements [1] but have not yet been
fixed. This SystemProperty has been around for a few months now and it
is assumed these issues have now been addressed in 3rd party code.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.6
Modifications:
- Remove the io.netty.http2.validateContentLength SystemProperty,
preventing folks from opting out of RFC's required content-length
matching.
Result:
No more escape hatch in H2 for content-length matching enforcement.
Motivation:
We should make variables `final` which are not reinstated again in code to match the code style and makes the code look better.
Modification:
Made couples of variables as `final`.
Result:
Variables marked as `final`.
Motivation:
We should keep bitwise operations simple and easy to understand.
Modification:
Simplify few Bitwise operations.
Result:
Less complicated bitwise operation code
Motivation:
Let's have fewer warnings about broken, missing, or abuse of javadoc comments.
Modification:
Added descriptions to throws clauses that were missing them.
Remove link clauses from throws clauses - these are implied.
Turned some javadoc comments into block comments because they were not applied to APIs.
Use code clauses instead of code tags.
Result:
Fewer javadoc crimes.
Motivation:
We cannot control when "the system" reuses file descriptors.
This makes any test that assert on the behaviour of closed file descriptors inherently racy.
Modification:
Allow the EpollSocketChannelConfigTest socketoption tests a few tries to get the correct assertion on the behaviour of closed socket file descriptors.
Result:
The EpollSocketChannelConfigTest should now be much less flaky.
Motivation:
We should get rid of the unnecessary toString calls because they're redundant in nature.
Modification:
Removed unnecessary toString calls.
Result:
Better code
Motivation:
We should get rid of unnecessary semicolons because they don't do anything in code.
Modification:
Removed unnecessary semicolons.
Result:
Better code
Motivation:
There are lots of imports which are unused. We should get rid of them to make the code look better,
Modification:
Removed unused imports.
Result:
No unused imports.
Motivation:
Code that isn't used, or has better alternatives in the JDK should be removed or replaced, respectively.
Modification:
Remove dead code in DefaultPromise.
Replace the synchronised-based reachability fence in ResourceLeakDetector, with the JDK Reference.reachabilityFence.
Result:
Cleaner code
Bootstrap methods now return Future<Channel> instead of ChannelFuture
Motivation:
In #8516 it was proposed to at some point remove the specialised ChannelFuture and ChannelPromise.
Or at least make them not extend Future and Promise, respectively.
One pain point encountered in this discussion is the need to get access to the channel object after it has been initialised, but without waiting for the channel registration to propagate through the pipeline.
Modification:
Add a Bootstrap.createUnregistered method, which will return a Channel directly.
All other Bootstrap methods that previously returned ChannelFuture now return Future<Channel>
Result:
It's now possible to obtain an initialised but unregistered channel from a bootstrap, without blocking.
And the other bootstrap methods now only release their channels through the result of their futures, preventing racy access to the channels.
Motivation:
This bug could occasionally cause SSL handshakes to time out, because the server-side handshake would fail to resume its event loop.
Modification:
Async delegate SSL tasks now lower their NEED_TASK status after they have executed, but before they run their completion callback.
This is important because the completion callback could be querying the handshake status.
This could cause the task delegator thread and the event look to race.
If the event look queries the handshake status first, it might think that it still needs to delegate another task.
If this happens, the delegator find a null task, and then fail to resume the event loop, causing the handshake to stall.
Result:
This data race no longer causes handshake timeouts.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we call wrap as long as there is something left to be send to the remote peer in cases of non-application data (like for example alerts).
Modifications:
Check the pending data and based on it return NEED_WRAP even when the handshake was done.
Result:
Always produce alerts etc
Motivation:
We should have guards in place to check increment or decrement count in `ReferenceCountUtil`. Increment and Decrement counts must be a positive integer.
Modification:
Added `ObjectUtil#checkPositive` checks.
Result:
Prevent release due to invalid count.
Motivation:
We the build failed we should ensure we also include hs_err* files as it may have failed due a native crash
Modifications:
Adjust path matching to include hs_err as well
Result:
Easier to debug native crashes
Add an ByteBuf -> Buffer adaptor
Motivation:
For migration of APIs from `ByteBuf` to `Buffer` sometime we may have to bridge APIs which use a `ByteBuf` (eg: `ByteToMessageDecoder` at the moment) to APIs that use a `Buffer` even when the allocator for the `ByteBuf` isn't migrated to use `ByteBufAllocatorAdaptor`.
Modification:
- Add a simple copy adaptor that copies all data from `ByteBuf` to a new `Buffer`.
- I noticed we do not have a `writeBytes` method with offsets, so added that too.
Result:
One more adaptor to bridge old and new buffer APIs.
Motivation:
There is no decoder and encoder for TCP based DNS.
Result:
- Added decoder and encoder
- Added tests
- Added example
Result:
Be able to decode and encode TCP based dns
Co-authored-by: Norman Maurer <norman_maurer@apple.com>
Motivation:
Due a bug in the statemachine we produced an decoding error when the GZIP footer was fragmented in some cases
Modifications:
- Fix statemachine
- Add testcase
Result:
Correctly decode GZIP in all cases
Motivation:
Since Java 7, there are new constructors available that allow us to avoid initialising the stack traces of certain exceptions.
Modification:
Use these constructors instead of overriding Throwable.fillInStackTrace.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
Users may want to clear the cache manually. For this it should be possible to access it first.
Modifications:
Change the visibility to public
Result:
Be able to clear the cache manually. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11519
Motivation:
750d235 did introduce a change in ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler that let the handler buffer all inbound data until the SSL handshake was completed. Due of this change a user might get buffer data forever if the SslHandler is not in the pipeline but the ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler was added. We should better guard the user against this "missconfiguration" of the ChannelPipeline.
Modifications:
- Remove the ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler when no SslHandler is present when the first message was received
- Add unit test
Result:
No possible that we buffer forever
Motivation:
While its technical impossible that a chunk is larger than 64kb it still makes things easier to read and more robust to add some size checks to LzfDecoder.
Modifications:
Check the maximum length
Result:
More robust and easier to reason about code
Motivation:
At the moment FastLzFrameEncoder depends on the buffer type. This is not needed and may cause memory copies
Modifications:
Rewrite to be able to just act on the ByteBuf
Result:
Less memory copies
Motivation:
We did observe that the mutal auth tests are flaky on windows when running on the CI. Let's disable these for now.
Modifications:
Disable mutual auth tests on windows
Result:
More stable build. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/11489
Motivation:
For the code pattern of `Object.wait(...)` in `io.netty.util.concurrent.DefaultPromise.await0(...)`, it's better to follow the recommended code pattern according to [Object.wait(...)'s doc](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#wait()):
```
synchronized (obj) {
while (<condition does not hold>)
obj.wait();
... // Perform action appropriate to condition
}
```
Modification:
Change the `Object.wait(...)`'s code pattern in `io.netty.util.concurrent.DefaultPromise.await0(...)`.
Result:
The `Object.wait(...)`'s code pattern in `io.netty.util.concurrent.DefaultPromise.await0(...)` meets the Java doc.
Motivation:
SelfSignedCertificate generates EC/RSA key pair and this should be explicitly mentioned in JavaDoc. Currently, only "RSA" was mentioned not "EC".
Modification:
Changed RSA to EC/RSA
Result:
Correct JavaDoc
