Motivation:
At the moment only DefaultFileRegion is supported when using the native epoll transport.
Modification:
- Add support for any FileRegion implementation
- Add test case
Result:
Also custom FileRegion implementation are supported when using the epoll transport.
Motivition:
NIO throws ClosedChannelException when a user tries to call shutdown*() on a closed Channel. We should do the same for the EPOLL transport
Modification:
Throw ClosedChannelException when a user tries to call shutdown*() on a closed channel.
Result:
Consistent behavior.
Motivation:
The NIO transport used an IllegalStateException if a user tried to issue another connect(...) while the connect was still in process. For this case the JDK specified a ConnectPendingException which we should use. The same issues exists in the EPOLL transport. Beside this the EPOLL transport also does not throw the right exceptions for ENETUNREACH and EISCONN errno codes.
Modifications:
- Replace IllegalStateException with ConnectPendingException in NIO and EPOLL transport
- throw correct exceptions for ENETUNREACH and EISCONN in EPOLL transport
- Add test case
Result:
More correct error handling for connect attempts when using NIO and EPOLL transport
Motivation:
We need to ensure we also call fireChannelActive() if the Channel is directly closed in a ChannelFutureListener that is belongs to the promise for the connect. Otherwise we will see missing active events.
Modifications:
Ensure we always call fireChannelActive() if the Channel was active.
Result:
No missing events.
Motivation:
We should throw a NotYetConnectedException when ENOTCONN errno is set. This is also consistent with NIO.
Modification:
Throw correct exception and add test case
Result:
More correct and consistent behavior.
Motivation:
For lack of a better way the SocketRstTest inspects the content of the exception message to check if a RST occurred. However on windows the exception message is different than on other Unix based platforms and the assertion statement fails.
Modifications:
- Hack another string check in the unit test
Result:
SocketRstTest passes on windows
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5335
Motivation:
At the moment the user is responsible to increase the writer index of the composite buffer when a new component is added. We should add some methods that handle this for the user as this is the most popular usage of the composite buffer.
Modifications:
Add new methods that autoamtically increase the writerIndex when buffers are added.
Result:
Easier usage of CompositeByteBuf.
Related: #4333#4421#5128
Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
We missed to correctly retrieve the localAddress() after we called Socket.connect(..) and so the user would always see an incorrect address when calling EpollSocketChannel.localAddress().
Modifications:
- Ensure we always retrieve the localAddress() after we called Socket.connect(...) as only after this we will be able to receive the correct address.
- Add unit test
Result:
Correct and consistent behaviour across different transports (NIO/OIO/EPOLL).
Motivation:
OIO/NIO use a volatile variable to track if a read is pending. EPOLL does not use a volatile an executes a Runnable on the event loop thread to set readPending to false. These mechansims should be consistent, and not using a volatile variable is preferable because the variable is written to frequently in the event loop thread.
OIO also does not set readPending to false before each fireChannelRead operation and may result in reading more data than the user desires.
Modifications:
- OIO/NIO should not use a volatile variable for readPending
- OIO should set readPending to false before each fireChannelRead
Result:
OIO/NIO/EPOLL are more consistent w.r.t. readPending and volatile variable operations are reduced
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5069
Motivation:
If SO_LINGER is set to 0 the EPOLL transport will send a FIN followed by a RST. This is not consistent with the behavior of the NIO transport. This variation in behavior can cause protocol violations in streaming protocols (e.g. HTTP) where a FIN may be interpreted as a valid end to a data stream, but RST may be treated as the data is corrupted and should be discarded.
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4170 Claims the behavior of NIO always issues a shutdown when close occurs. I could not find any evidence of this in Netty's NIO transport nor in the JDK's SocketChannel.close() implementation.
Modifications:
- AbstractEpollChannel should be consistent with the NIO transport and not force a shutdown on every close
- FileDescriptor to keep state in a consistent manner with the JDK and not allow a shutdown after a close
- Unit tests for NIO and EPOLL to ensure consistent behavior
Result:
EPOLL is capable of sending just a RST to terminate a connection.
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:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
Warnings in IDE, unclean code, negligible performance impact.
Modification:
Deletion of unused imports
Result:
No more warnings in IDE, cleaner code, negligible performance improvement.
Motivation:
Javadoc reports errors about invalid docs.
Modifications:
Fix some errors reported by javadoc.
Result:
A lot of javadoc errors are fixed by this patch.
Motivation:
RC4 is not supported by default in more recent java versions as RC4 is considered insecure. We should not use it in tests as these test will fail on more recent java version.
Modifications:
Use SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA for test.
Result:
Non failing test on more recent java versions.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
