Motivation:
OpenSslEngineTest has unused imports and SSLEngineTest uses a fixed port which was used for debugging.
Modifications:
- Remove unused imports
- Use ephemeral port
Result:
Cleaner test code.
Modifications:
tcnative made some fixes and API changes related to setVerify. We should absorb these changes in Netty.
Modifications:
- Use tcnatives updated APIs
- Add unit tests to demonstrate correct behavior
Result:
Updated to latest tcnative code and more unit tests to verify expected behavior.
Motivation:
tcnative has updated how constants are defined and removed some constants which are either obsolete or now set directly in tcnative.
Modifications:
- update to compile against tcnative changes.
Result:
Netty compiles with tcnative options changes.
Motivation:
Initialization of PlatformDependent0 fails on Java 9 in static initializer when calling setAccessible(true).
Modifications:
Add RefelectionUtil which can be used to safely try if setAccessible(true) can be used or not and if not fail back to non reflection.
Result:
Fixed [#6345]
Motivation:
We can eliminate unnessary wrapping when call ByteBuf.asReadOnly() in some cases to reduce indirection.
Modifications:
- Check if asReadOnly() needs to create a new instance or not
- Add test cases
Result:
Less object creation / wrapping.
Motivation:
We should remove the restriction to only allow to call unwrap with a ByteBuffer[] whose cumulative length exceeds MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH.
Modifications:
Remove guard.
Result:
Fixes [#6335].
Motivation:
To use jboss-marshalling extra command-line arguments are needed on JDK9+ as it makes use of reflection internally.
Modifications:
Skip jboss-marshalling tests when running on JDK9+ and init of MarshallingFactory fails.
Result:
Be able to build on latest JDK9 release.
Motivation:
There were some warnings for the code in the ssl package.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed else blocks
- Use correctly base class for static usage
- Replace String.length() == 0 with String.isEmpty()
- Remove unused code
Result:
Less warnings and cleaner code.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we pass all tests when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Modifications:
- Make *ByteBufAllocatorTest work whenever sun.misc.Unsafe is present or not
- Let Lz4FrameEncoderTest not depend on AbstractByteBufAllocator implementation details which take into account if sun.misc.Unsafe is present or not
Result:
Tests pass even without sun.misc.Unsafe.
Motivation:
We should only try to calculate the direct memory offset when sun.misc.Unsafe is present as otherwise it will fail with an NPE as PlatformDependent.directBufferAddress(...) will throw it.
This problem was introduced by 66b9be3a46.
Modifications:
Use offset of 0 if no sun.misc.Unsafe is present.
Result:
PooledByteBufAllocator also works again when no sun.misc.Unsafe is present.
Motivation:
ReadOnlyByteBufTest contains two tests which are missing the `@Test` annotation and so will never run.
Modifications:
Add missing annotation.
Result:
Tests run as expected.
Motivation:
EPOLL annotates some exceptions to provide the remote address, but the original exception is not preserved. This may make determining a root cause more difficult. The static EPOLL exceptions references the native method that failed, but does not provide a description of the actual error number. Without the description users have to know intimate details about the native calls and how they may fail to debug issues.
Modifications:
- annotated exceptions should preserve the original exception
- static exceptions should include the string description of the expected errno
Result:
EPOLL exceptions provide more context and are more useful to end users.
Motivation:
54c9ecf682 introduced a unit tests which attempted to exclude addresses which resolved to loop back addresses from an assert statement. This was done with a static check for localhost but depending on machine configuration it is possible for other interfaces to be resolved.
Modifications:
- Use InetAddress#isLoopbackAddress() instead of string match on localhost
Result:
DnsNameResolverTest#testNameServerCache is more reliable.
Motivation:
EpollRecvByteAllocatorHandle intends to override the meaning of "maybe more data to read" which is a concept also used in all existing implementations of RecvByteBufAllocator$Handle but the interface doesn't support overriding. Because the interfaces lack the ability to propagate this computation EpollRecvByteAllocatorHandle attempts to implement a heuristic on top of the delegate which may lead to reading when we shouldn't or not reading data.
Modifications:
- Create a new interface ExtendedRecvByteBufAllocator and ExtendedHandle which allows the "maybe more data to read" between interfaces
- Deprecate RecvByteBufAllocator and change all existing implementations to extend ExtendedRecvByteBufAllocator
- transport-native-epoll should require ExtendedRecvByteBufAllocator so the "maybe more data to read" can be propagated to the ExtendedHandle
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6303.
Motivation:
CipherSuiteConverter may throw a NPE if a cipher suite from OpenSSL does not match the precomputed regular expression for OpenSSL ciphers. This method shouldn't throw and instead just return null.
Modifications:
- if cacheFromOpenSsl(..) fails the conversion toJava should return null
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6336.
Motivation:
The resolver package had some changes late in the 4.1.CR phase and the intention was to mark this package as unstable until these interfaces solidify, but we forgot to mark the package and public classes with the unstable annotation.
Modifications:
- resolver package public interfaces and package-info should be annotated with @UnstableApi
Result:
The unstable nature of the resolver package is more clearly communicated.
Motivation:
The JDK uses gethostbyname for blocking hostname resoltuion. gethostbyname can be configured on Unix systems according to [1][2]. This may impact the name server that is used to resolve particular domains or just override the default fall-back resolver. DnsNameResolver currently ignores these configuration files which means the default resolution behavior is different than the JDK. This may lead to unexpected resolution failures which succeed when using the JDK's resolver.
Modifications:
- Add an interface which can override what DnsServerAddressStream to use for a given hostname
- Provide a Unix specific implementation of this interface and implement [1][2]. Some elements may be ignored sortlist, timeout, etc...
Result:
DnsNameResolver behaves more like the JDK resolver by default.

Motivation:
Update of Groovy is needed to compile on recent java9 releases.
Modification:
Update to Groovy 2.4.8
Result:
This change allows Netty to be successfully compiled on more recent Java 9 previews.
Motivation:
HostsFileParser only retains the first address for each given hostname.
This is wrong, and it’s allowed to have both an IPv4 and an IPv6.
Modifications:
* Have `HostsFileParser` now return a `HostsFileEntries` that contains IPv4 entries and IPv6 entries
* Introduce `ResolvedAddressTypes` to describe resolved address types preferences
* Add a new `ResolvedAddressTypes` parameter to `HostsFileEntriesResolver::address` to account for address types preferences
* Change `DnsNameResolver` constructor to take a `ResolvedAddressTypes`, allowing for a null value that would use default
* Change `DnsNameResolverBuilder::resolvedAddressTypes` to take a `ResolvedAddressTypes`
* Make `DnsNameResolver::resolvedAddressTypes` return a `ResolvedAddressTypes`
* Add a static `DnsNameResolverBuilder::computeResolvedAddressTypes` to ease converting from `InternetProtocolFamily`
Result:
We now support hosts files that contains IPv4 and IPv6 pairs for a same
hostname.
Motivation:
Netty 4.1 introduced AsciiString and defines HttpHeaderNames constants
as such.
It would be convenient to be able to pass them to `exposeHeaders` and
`allowedRequestHeaders` directly without having to call `toString`.
Modifications:
Add `exposeHeaders` and `allowedRequestHeaders` overloads that take a
`CharSequence`.
Result:
More convenient API
Motivation:
Result of validatePromise() is always inverted with if (!validatePromise()).
Modification:
validatePromise() renamed to isNotValidPromise() and now returns inverted state so you don't need to invert state in conditions. Also name is now more meaningful according to returned result.
Added more tests for validatePromise corner cases with Exceptions.
Result:
Code easier to read. No need in inverted result.
Motivation:
Currently Netty utilizes BIO_new_bio_pair so we can control all FD lifetime and event notification but delegates to OpenSSL for encryption/decryption. The current implementation sets up a pair of BIO buffers to read/write encrypted/plaintext data. This approach requires copying of data from Java ByteBuffers to native memory BIO buffers, and also requires both BIO buffers to be sufficiently large to hold application data. If direct ByteBuffers are used we can avoid coyping to/from the intermediate BIO buffer and just read/write directly from the direct ByteBuffer memory. We still need an internal buffer because OpenSSL may generate write data as a result of read calls (e.g. handshake, alerts, renegotiation, etc..), but this buffer doesn't have to be be large enough to hold application data.
Modifications:
- Take advantage of the new ByteBuffer based BIO provided by netty-tcnative instead of using BIO_read and BIO_write.
Result:
Less copying and lower memory footprint requirement per TLS connection.
Motivation:
a416b79 introduced a check for null or empty host name to be compatible with the JDK resolution. However the doResolve(String, Promise) method, and if the doResolve(String, DnsRecord[], Promise, DnsCache) method was overridden the empty/null hostname would not be correctly resolved.
Modifications:
- Move the empty/null host name check into the lowest level doResolve method in DnsNameResolver
- Remove the duplicate logic in InetNameResolver.java which can be bypassed anyways
Result:
By default (unless behavior is overridden) DnsNameResolver resolves null/empty host names to local host just like the JDK.
Motivation:
DefaultCookie currently used an undocumented magic value for undefined
maxAge.
Clients need to be able to identify such value so they can implement a
proper CookieJar.
Ideally, we should add a `Cookie::isMaxAgeDefined` method but I guess
we can’t add a new method without breaking API :(
Modifications:
Add a new constant on `Cookie` interface so clients can use it to
compare with value return by `Cookie.maxAge` and decide if `maxAge` was
actually defined.
Result:
Clients have a better documented way to check if the maxAge attribute
was defined.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we release the AddressedEnvelope if we fail to notify the future (as it may be notified before because of an timeout). Otherwise we may leak.
Modifications:
Call release() if we fail to notify the future.
Result:
No more memory leak on notify failure.
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector supports a parameter called maxActive. This parameter is used in attempt to limit the amount of objects which are being tracked for leaks at any given time, and generates an error log message if this limit is exceeded. This assumes that there is a relationship between leak sample rate and object lifetime for objects which are already being tracked. This relationship may appear to work in cases were there are a single leak record per object and those leak records live for the lifetime of the application but in general this relationship doesn't exist. The original motivation was to provide a limit for cases such as HashedWheelTimer to limit the number of instances which exist at any given time. This limit is not enforced in all circumstances in HashedWheelTimer (e.g. if the thread is a daemon) and can be implemented outside ResourceLeakDetector.
Modifications:
- Deprecate all methods which interact with maxActive in ResourceLeakDetectorFactory and ResourceLeakDetector
- Remove all logic related to maxActive in ResourceLeakDetector
- HashedWheelTimer implements its own logic to impose a limit and warn users if too many instances exists at any given time.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6225.
Motivation:
The SSLEngine wrap and unwrap methods can be called in a way that has no side effects, but this could involve costly validation and allocation. The SslHandler should avoid calling into these methods if possible.
Modifications:
- wrapNonAppData should provide additional status which can be used by wrap to breakout early if possible
Result:
SslHandler invokes the SSLEngine less.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2FrameReader contains the logic for how it parsed the network
traffic from http2 client,
it also validate the content is legal or not.
So keep high coverage rate on it will increase the stability of api.
Modifications:
Add unit test on DefaultHttp2FrameReader
Result:
Coverage rate increased
Motivation:
We used various mocking frameworks. We should only use one...
Modifications:
Make usage of mocking framework consistent by only using Mockito.
Result:
Less dependencies and more consistent mocking usage.
Motivation:
When comparing MAC addresses searching for the best MAC address, if
locally-administered address (e.g., from a Docker container) is compared
against an empty MAC address, the empty MAC address will be marked as
preferred. In cases this is the only available MAC address, this leaves
Netty using a random machine ID instead of using a perfectly valid
machine ID from the locally-adminstered address.
Modifications:
This commit modifies the MAC address logic so that the empty MAC address
is not preferred over a locally-administered address. This commit also
simplifies the comparison logic here.
Result:
Empty MAC addresses will not be preferred over locally-administered
addresses thus permitting the default machine ID to be the
locally-adminstered MAC address if it is the only available MAC address.
Motivation:
DnsNameResolver does not handle recursive DNS and so fails if you query a DNS server (for example a ROOT dns server) which provides the correct redirect for a domain.
Modification:
Add support for redirects (a.k.a. handling of AUTHORITY section').
Result:
Its now possible to use a DNS server that redirects.
Motivation:
NioDatagramChannel fails a write with NotYetConnectedException when the DatagramChannel was not yet connected and a ByteBuf is written. The same should be done for OioDatagramChannel as well.
Modifications:
Make OioDatagramChannel consistent with NioDatagramChannel
Result:
Correct and consistent implementations of DatagramChannel
Motivation:
64-byte alignment is recommended by the Intel performance guide (https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/practical-intel-avx-optimization-on-2nd-generation-intel-core-processors) for data-structures over 64 bytes.
Requiring padding to a multiple of 64 bytes allows for using SIMD instructions consistently in loops without additional conditional checks. This should allow for simpler and more efficient code.
Modification:
At the moment cache alignment must be setup manually. But probably it might be taken from the system. The original code was introduced by @normanmaurer https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4726/files
Result:
Buffer alignment works better than miss-align cache.
Motivation:
We not had tests for ByteBufAllocator implementations in general.
Modifications:
Added ByteBufAllocatorTest, AbstractByteBufAllocatorTest and UnpooledByteBufAllocatorTest
Result:
More tests for allocator implementations.
Motivation:
HttpObjectAggregator yields full HTTP messgaes (AggregatedFullHttpMessages) that don't respect decoder result when copied/replaced.
Modifications:
Copy the decoding result over to a new instance produced by AggregatedFullHttpRequest.replace or AggregatedFullHttpResponse.replace .
Result:
DecoderResult is now copied over when an original AggregatedFullHttpMessage is being replaced (i.e., AggregatedFullHttpRequest.replace or AggregatedFullHttpResponse.replace is being called).
New unit tests are passing on this branch but are failing on master.
Motiviation:
We should ensure we not need any extra wrap / unwrap calls during handshake once the handshake was signaled as finished
Modifications:
More strict testing
Result:
Better testing of handshake behaviour
