Motivation:
When a proxy fails to connect, it includes useful error detail in
the headers.
Modification:
- Add an HTTP Specific ProxyConnectException
- Attach headers (if any) in the event of a non-200 response
Result:
Able to surface more useful error info to applications
Motivation:
When using a linux distribution that supports sendmmsg(...) we allocated enough direct memory per EpollEventLoop to be able to write IOV_MAX number of iovecs per message that can be written per sendmmsg.
The number of messages that can be written per sendmmsg(...) call is limited by UIO_MAX_IOV.
In practice this resulted in an allocation of 16MB direct memory per EpollEventLoop instance that stayed allocated until the EpollEventLoop was shutdown which happens as part of the shutdown of the enclosing EpollEVentLoopGroup.
This resulted in quite some heavy direct memory usage in practice even when in practice we have very slim changes to ever need all of the memory.
Modification:
Adjust NativeDatagramPacketArray to share one IovArray instance across all NativeDatagramPacket instances it holds. This limits the max number of iovecs we can write across all messages to IOV_MAX per sendmmsg(...) call.
This in practice will still be enough to allow us to write multiple messages with one syscall while keep the memory overhead to a minimum.
Result:
Smaller direct memory footprint per EpollEventLoop when using EpollDatagramChannel on distributions that support sendmmsg(...).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8814
Motivation
As pointed out by @91he in
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8595#issuecomment-459181794, there
is a remaining bug in LocationAwareSlf4JLogger following the updates
done in #8595. The logging methods which take a varargs message
parameter array should format using MessageFormatter.arrayFormat rather
than MessageFormatter.format.
Modifications
Change varargs param methods in LocationAwareSlf4JLogger to use
MessageFormatter.arrayFormat and extend unit test to cover these cases.
Results
Correct log output when logging messages with > 2 parameters when using
LocationAwareSlf4JLogger.
Motivation
There's some miscellaneous cleanup/simplification of CompositeByteBuf
which would help make the code a bit clearer.
Modifications
- Simplify web of constructors and addComponents methods, reducing
duplication of logic
- Rename `Component.freeIfNecessary()` method to just `free()`, which is
less confusing (see #8641)
- Make loop in addComponents0(...) method more verbose/readable (see
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8437#discussion_r232124414)
- Simplify addition/subtraction in setBytes(...) methods
Result
Smaller/clearer code
Motivation:
In the native code EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel creates a DatagramSocketAddress object for each received UDP datagram even when in connected mode as it uses the recvfrom(...) / recvmsg(...) method. Creating these is quite heavy in terms of allocations as internally, char[], String, Inet4Address, InetAddressHolder, InetSocketAddressHolder, InetAddress[], byte[] objects are getting generated when constructing the object. When in connected mode we can just use regular read(...) calls which do not need to allocate all of these.
Modifications:
- When in connected mode use read(...) and NOT recvfrom(..) / readmsg(...) to reduce allocations when possible.
- Adjust tests to ensure read works as expected when in connected mode.
Result:
Less allocations and GC when using native datagram channels in connected mode. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8770.
Motivation:
41e03adf24 marked ChannelHandler.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated but missed to also mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated. We should do so as most people extend the base classes and not implement the interfaces directly.
Modifications:
Mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated as well.
Result:
Mark method as @deprecated to warn users about its removal.
* HttpObjectDecoder ignores HTTP trailer header when empty line is received in seperate ByteBuf
Motivation:
When the empty line that termines the trailers was sent in a seperate ByteBuf we did ignore the previous parsed trailers and just returned none.
Modifications:
- Correct respect previous parsed trailers.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8736
Motivation:
We have a utility method to check for > 0 and >0 arguments. We should use it.
Modification:
use checkPositive/checkPositiveOrZero instead of if statement.
Result:
Re-use utility method.
Motivation:
If there are no listeners attached to the promise when full-filling it we do not need to schedule a task to notify.
Modifications:
- Don't schedule a task if there is nothing to notify.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8795.
Motivation:
In most cases, HttpMethod instance is built from the factory method and the same instance is taken for known Http Methods. So we can implement fast path for equals().
Modification:
Replace == checks with HttpMethod.equals;
Use this == o within HttpMethod.equals;
Replaced known new HttpMethod with HttpMethod.valueOf;
Result:
Comparisons should be a bit faster in some cases.
Motivation:
To conform to the CharSequence interface we need to return an empty CharSequence when start == end index and a subSequence is requested.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle the case where start == end
- Add unit test
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8796.
Motivation:
We cache the Runnable for some tasks to reduce GC pressure in 4 different fields. This gives overhead in terms of memory usage in all cases, even if we always execute in the EventExecutor (which is the case most of the times).
Modifications:
Move the 4 fields to another class and only have one reference to this in AbstractChannelHandlerContext. This gives a small overhead in the case of execution that is done outside of the EventExecutor but reduce memory footprint in the more likily execution case.
Result:
Less memory used per AbstractChannelHandlerContext in most cases.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
Motivation
In #8758, @doom369 reported an infinite loop bug in CompositeByteBuf
which was introduced in #8437.
This is the same small fix for that, along with fixes for two other bugs
found while re-inspecting the changes and adding unit tests.
Modification
- Replace recursive call to toComponentIndex with toComponentIndex0 as
intended
- Add missed "lastAccessed" racy cache invalidation in capacity(int)
method
- Fix incorrect determination of initial offset in non-zero cIndex case
of updateComponentOffsets method
- New unit tests for previously uncovered methods
Results
Fewer bugs.
Motivation:
We need to release the message when we throw an IllegalArgumentException because of a validation failure of the promise to eliminate the risk of a memory leak.
Modifications:
- Consistently release the message before rethrow
- Add testcase.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8765.
Motivation:
Current implementation extract header value as String. We have an idiomatic way for checking presence of a header value.
Modification:
Use HttpHeaders#contains for checking if if contains Expect: 100-continue.
Result:
Use idiomatic way + simplify boolean logic.
Motivation:
testChannelInitializerEventExecutor() did sometimes fail as we sometimes miss to count down the latch. This can happen when we remove the handler from the pipeline before channelUnregistered(...) was called for it.
Modifications:
Countdown the latch in handlerRemoved(...).
Result:
Fix flaky test.
Motivation:
I want to fix bug in vert.x project (eclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562) caused by ComposedLastHttpContent result being null. I don't know if it is intentional that this last decoded chuck in the issue returns null, but if not - I am providing fix for that.
Modification:
* Added new constructor in ComposedLastHttpContent allowing to pass DecoderResult
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentEncoder
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentDecoder
Result:
Fixeseclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562
Motivation:
While using Load Balancers or HA support is needed there are cases when UDP channel need to bind to IP Address which is not available on network interfaces locally.
Modification:
Modified EpollDatagramChannelConfig to allow IP_FREEBIND option
Result:
Fixes ##8727.
Motivation:
testWriteTaskRejected was racy as we did not ensure we dispatched all events to the executor before shutting it down.
Modifications:
Add a latch to ensure we dispatched everything.
Result:
Fix racy test that failed sometimes before.
Motivation:
When a write error happens during writing of flowcontrolled data frames we miss to correctly detect this in the write loop which may result in an infinite loop as we will never detect that the frame should be removed from the queue.
Modifications:
- When we fail a flowcontrolled data frame we ensure that the next frame.write(...) call will signal back that the whole frame was handled and so can be removed.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8707.
Motivation:
When using multiple nameservers and a nameserver respond with NXDOMAIN we should only fail the query if the nameserver in question is authoritive or no nameservers are left to try.
Modifications:
- Try next nameserver if NXDOMAIN was returned but the nameserver is not authoritive
- Adjust testcase to respect correct behaviour.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8261
Motivation:
Since the updating to OpenJDK 11.0.2 the OSGI testsuite fails. We should dissable it until there is a version of the used plugins that works with this OpenJDK version.
Modifications:
Skip osgi testsuite when using JDK11.
Result:
Build pass again with JDK11.
Motivation:
We should always build with the latest JDK releases.
Modifications:
Update JDK8 and JDK11 versions to the latest.
Result:
Run CI jobs on the latest JDK release.
Motivation:
The CorruptedFrameException from the finish() method of the Utf8Validator gets propagated to other handlers while the connection is still open.
Modification:
Override exceptionCaught method of the Utf8FrameValidator and close the connection if it is a CorruptedFrameException.
Result:
The CorruptedFrameException gets propagated to other handlers only after properly closing the connection.
Motivation:
There are the first EA bulds for OpenJDK 13. We should support to build with it and run builds on the CI.
Modifications:
- Add profile for JDK 13
- Add docker config to run with JDK 13.
Result:
Building and testing with OpenJDK 13 is possible.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler should report write operation as failed
in case *any* chunked was not written. Right now this is not
true for the last chunk.
Modifications:
* Check if the appropriate write operation was succesfull when
reporting the last chunk
* Skip writing chunks if the write operation was already marked
as "done"
* Test cases to cover write failures when dealing with chunked input
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8700
Motivation:
We should access the Constructor of the passed in class in the Constructor of ReflectiveChannelFactory only to reduce the overhead but also fail-fast.
Modifications:
Access the Constructor early.
Result:
Fails fast and less performance overhead.
Motivation:
Incrementing two variables in sync is not necessary when only one will do.
Modifications:
- Remove `j` from `for` loop and replace with `i`.
- Add more unit testing scenarios to cover changed code.
Results:
Unnecessary variable removed.
Motivation:
The javadocs stating `IndexOutOfBoundsException` is thrown were
different from what `ByteBuf` actually did. We want to ensure the
Javadocs represent reality.
Modifications:
Updated javadocs on `write*`, `ensureWriteable`, `capacity`, and
`maxCapacity` methods.
Results:
Javadocs more closely match actual behaviour.
Motivation:
A new EA release was done for OpenJDK12.
Modifications:
Use OpenJDK12 EA 27 when running CI jobs for JDK 12.
Result:
Test against latest OpenJDK 12 EA build.
Motivation:
In Http2FrameCodec we made the incorrect assumption that we can only have 1 buffered outboundstream as maximum. This is not correct and we need to account for multiple buffered streams.
Modifications:
- Use a map to allow buffer multiple streams
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8692.
Motivation:
Due a race in DefaultChannelPipeline / AbstractChannelHandlerContext it was possible to have only handlerRemoved(...) called during tearing down the pipeline, even when handlerAdded(...) was never called. We need to ensure we either call both of none to guarantee a proper lifecycle of the handler.
Modifications:
- Enforce handlerAdded(...) / handlerRemoved(...) semantics / ordering
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8676 / https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6536 .
Motivation:
We do not correctly detect loops when follow CNAMEs and so may try to follow it without any success.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect CNAME loops
- Do not cache CNAME entries which point to itself
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8687.
Motiviation:
Http2FrameCodecTest and Http2MultiplexCodecTest were quite fragile and often not went through the whole pipeline which made testing sometimes hard and error-prone.
Modification:
- Refactor tests to have data flow through the whole pipeline and so made the test more robust (by testing the while implementation).
Result:
Easier to write tests for the codecs in the future and more robust testing in general.
Beside this it also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6036.
Motivation:
Users who want to construct a `FlushConsolidationHandler` with a default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` but non-default `consolidateWhenNoReadInProgress` may benefit from having an easy way to get the default "flush after flushes" count.
Modifications:
- Moved default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` value to a public constant.
- Adjusted Javadoc accordingly.
Result:
Default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` is accessible to callers.
Motivation:
We should try removing all FastThreadLocals for the Thread before we notify the termination. future. The user may block on the future and once it unblocks the JVM may terminate and start unloading classes.
Modifications:
Remove all FastThreadLocals for the Thread before notify termination future.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6596.
Motivation:
LineBasedFrameDecoder, JsonObjectDecoder and XmlFrameDecoder upon investigation of the
sourcecode appeared to only support ASCII or UTF-8 input. It is an important characteristic
and ont reflected in any documentation. This could lead to improper usage and bugs.
Modifications:
Javadoc comment is addedd to all three classes to state that implementation is only
compatible with UTF-8 or ASCII input streams and brifly touches on implementaion details.
Result:
The end user of the netty library would not have to study sorcecode to deterime character
encoding limitations for given classes.
Motivation:
During some other work I noticed we do not have any tests to ensure we correctly use SSLSessionBindingEvent. We should add some testing.
Modifications:
- Added unit test to verify we correctly implement it.
- Ignore the test when using Conscrypt as it not correctly implements it.
Result:
More tests for custom SSL impl.
Motivation:
How we did the mapping from native code to AbstractKQueueChannel was not safe and could lead to heap corruption. This then sometimes produced ClassCastExceptions or could also lead to crashes. This happened sometimes when running the testsuite.
Modifications:
Use a Map for the mapping (just as we do in the native epoll transport).
Result:
No more heap corruption / crashes.
