Motivation:
Due a change introduced in 68105b257d we incorrectly skipped the usage of nameservers in some cases.
Modifications:
Only fetch a new stream of nameserver if the hostname not matches the original hostname in the query.
Result:
Use all configured nameservers. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10499
Expose a LoggingDnsQueryLifeCycleObserverFactory
Motivation:
There is a use case for having logging in the DnsNameResolver, similar to the LoggingHandler.
Previously, one could set `traceEnabled` on the DnsNameResolverBuilder, but this is not very configurable.
Specifically, the log level and the logger context cannot be changed.
Modification:
Expose a LoggingDnsQueryLifeCycleObserverFactory, that permit changing the log-level
and logger context.
Result:
It is now possible to get logging in the DnsNameResolver at a custom log level and logger,
without very much effort.
Fixes#10485
Motivation:
We need limit the number of queries done to resolve unresolved nameserver as otherwise we may never fail the resolve when there is a missconfigured dns server that lead to a "resolve loop".
Modifications:
- When resolve unresolved nameservers ensure we use the allowedQueries as max upper limit for queries so it will eventually fail
- Add unit tests
Result:
No more possibility to fail in a loop while resolve. This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10420
Motivation:
DnsAddressResolverGroup allows to be constructed with a DnsNameResolverBuilder and so should respect its configured EventLoop.
Modifications:
- Correctly respect the configured EventLoop
- Ensure there are no thread-issues by calling copy()
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10460
Motivation:
If we cancel the returned future of resolve query, we may get LEAK. Try to release the ByteBuf if netty can't pass the DnsRawRecord to the caller.
Modification:
Using debug mode I saw there are two places that don't handle trySuccess with release. Try to release there.
Result:
Fixes#10447.
Motivation:
There is a possibility to end up with a StackOverflowError when trying to resolve authorative nameservers because of incorrect wrapping the AuthoritativeDnsServerCache.
Modifications:
Ensure we don't end up with an overflow due wrapping
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10246
Motivation:
Once a CNAME loop was detected we can just fail fast and so reduce the number of queries.
Modifications:
Fail fast once a CNAME loop is detected
Result:
Fail fast
Motivation:
We did use a HashSet to detect CNAME cache loops which needs allocations. We can use an algorithm that doesnt need any allocations
Modifications:
Use algorithm that doesnt need allocations
Result:
Less allocations on the slow path
Motivation:
The nameserver that should / must be used to resolve a CNAME may be different then the nameserver that was selected for the hostname to resolve. Failing to select the correct nameserver may result in problems during resolution.
Modifications:
Use the correct DnsServerAddressStream for CNAMEs
Result:
Always use the correct DnsServerAddressStream for CNAMEs and so fix resolution failures which could accour when CNAMEs are in the mix that use a different domain then the original hostname that we try to resolve
Motivation:
We should only log with warn level if something really critical happens as otherwise we may spam logs and confuse the user.
Modifications:
- Change log level to debug for most cases
Result:
Less noisy logging
Motivation:
We need to detect CNAME loops during lookup the DnsCnameCache as otherwise we may try to follow cnames forever.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect CNAME loops in the cache
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10220
Motivations
-----------
DnsNameResolverBuilder and DnsNameResolver do not auto-configure
themselves uing default options define in /etc/resolv.conf.
In particular, rotate, timeout and attempts options are ignored.
Modifications
-------------
- Modified UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider to parse ndots,
attempts and timeout options all at once and use these defaults to
configure DnsNameResolver when values are not provided by the
DnsNameResolverBuilder.
- When rotate option is specified, the DnsServerAddresses returned by
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider is rotational.
- Amend resolv.conf options with the RES_OPTIONS environment variable
when present.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10202
Motivation:
A user might want to cancel DNS resolution when it takes too long.
Currently, there's no way to cancel the internal DNS queries especially when there's a lot of search domains.
Modification:
- Stop sending a DNS query if the original `Promise`, which was passed calling `resolve()`, is canceled.
Result:
- You can now stop sending DNS queries by cancelling the `Promise`.
Motivation:
Related https://github.com/line/armeria/issues/2463
Here is an example that an NIC has only link local address for IPv6.
```
$ ipaddr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth0@if18692: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1460 qdisc noqueue
link/ether 1a:5e:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 scope global eth0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
```
If the NICs have only local or link local addresses, We should not send IPv6 DNS queris.
Modification:
- Ignore link-local IPv6 addresses which may exist even on a machine without IPv6 network.
Result:
- `DnsNameResolver` does not send DNS queries for AAAA when IPv6 is not available.
Motivation:
As we have java8 as a minimum target we can use MethodHandles. We should do so when we expect to have a method called multiple times.
Modifications:
- Replace usage of reflection with MethodHandles where it makes sense
- Remove some code which was there to support java < 8
Result:
Faster code
Motivation:
939e928312 introduced MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider which will ensure the right nameservers are selected when running on MacOS. To ensure this is done automatically on MacOS we should use it by default on these platforms.
Modifications:
Try to use MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider when on MacOS via reflection and fallback if not possible
Result:
Ensure the right nameservers are used on MacOS even when a VPN (for example) is used.
Motivation:
In general, we will close the debug log in a product environment. However, logging without external level check may still affect performance as varargs will need to allocate an array.
Modification:
Add log level check simply before logging.
Result:
Improve performance slightly in a product environment.
Motivation:
In next major version of netty users should use ChannelHandler everywhere. We should ensure we do the same
Modifications:
Replace usage of deprecated classes / interfaces with ChannelHandler
Result:
Use non-deprecated code
Motivation:
The resolver API and implementations should be considered stable by now so we should not mark these with @UnstableApi
Modifications:
Remove @UnstableApi annotation from API and implementation of resolver
Result:
Make it explicit that the API is considered stable
Motivation:
The resolv.conf file may contain inline comments which should be ignored
Modifications:
- Detect if we have a comment after the ipaddress and if so skip it
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9889
Motivation:
We should just ignore (and so skip) invalid entries in /etc/resolver.conf.
Modifications:
- Skip invalid entries
- Add unit test
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9684
Motivation
A memory leak related to DNS resolution was reported in #9634,
specifically linked to the TCP retry fallback functionality that was
introduced relatively recently. Upon inspection it's apparent that there
are some error paths where the original UDP response might not be fully
released, and more significantly the TCP response actually leaks every
time on the fallback success path.
It turns out that a bug in the unit test meant that the intended TCP
fallback path was not actually exercised, so it did not expose the main
leak in question.
Modifications
- Fix DnsNameResolverTest#testTruncated0 dummy server fallback logic to
first read transaction id of retried query and use it in replayed
response
- Adjust semantic of internal DnsQueryContext#finish method to always
take refcount ownership of passed in envelope
- Reorder some logic in DnsResponseHandler fallback handling to verify
the context of the response is expected, and ensure that the query
response are either released or propagated in all cases. This also
reduces a number of redundant retain/release pairings
Result
Fixes#9634
Motivation:
Classes `AbstractHttp2StreamChannel.Http2StreamChannelConfig`
and `DnsNameResolver.AddressedEnvelopeAdapter` may be static:
it doesn't reference its enclosing instance.
Modification:
Add `static` modifier.
Result:
Prevents a possible memory leak and uses less memory per class instance.
Motivation:
We currently try to access the the domain search list via reflection on windows which will print a illegal access warning when using Java9 and later.
Modifications:
Add a guard against the used java version.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9500.
Motivation:
It is possible that the user uses a too big EDNS0 setting for the MTU and so we may receive a truncated datagram packet. In this case we should try to detect this and retry via TCP if possible
Modifications:
- Fix detecting of incomplete records
- Mark response as truncated if we did not consume the whole packet
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9365
Motivation:
We should only ever close the underlying tcp socket once we received the envelope to ensure we never race in the test.
Modifications:
- Only close socket once we received the envelope
- Set REUSE_ADDR
Result:
More robust test
Motivation:
testTruncatedWithTcpFallback was flacky as we may end up closing the socket before we could read all data. We should only close the socket after we succesfully read all data.
Modifications:
Move socket.close() to finally block
Result:
Fix flaky test and so make the CI more stable again.
Motivation:
We should only try to use reflection to access default nameservers when using Java8 and lower as otherwise we will produce an Illegal reflective access warning like:
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by io.netty.resolver.dns.DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider
Modifications:
Add Java version check before try to use reflective access.
Result:
No more warning when Java9+ is used.
Motivation:
OOME is occurred by increasing suppressedExceptions because other libraries call Throwable#addSuppressed. As we have no control over what other libraries do we need to ensure this can not lead to OOME.
Modifications:
Only use static instances of the Exceptions if we can either dissable addSuppressed or we run on java6.
Result:
Not possible to OOME because of addSuppressed. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9151.
Motivation:
Sometimes DNS responses can be very large which mean they will not fit in a UDP packet. When this is happening the DNS server will set the TC flag (truncated flag) to tell the resolver that the response was truncated. When a truncated response was received we should allow to retry via TCP and use the received response (if possible) as a replacement for the truncated one.
See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766.
Modifications:
- Add support for TCP fallback by allow to specify a socketChannelFactory / socketChannelType on the DnsNameResolverBuilder. If this is set to something different then null we will try to fallback to TCP.
- Add decoder / encoder for TCP
- Add unit tests
Result:
Support for TCP fallback as defined by https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766 when using DnsNameResolver.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9021 did apply some changes to filter out duplicates InetAddress when calling resolveAll(...) to mimic JDK behaviour. Unfortunally this also introduced a regression as we should not filter duplicates when the user explicit calls resolveAll(DnsQuestion).
Modifications:
- Only filter duplicates if resolveAll(String) is used
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes regressions introduces by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9021
Motivation:
075cf8c02e introduced a change to allow resolve(...) to notify as soon as the preferred record was resolved. This works great but we should also allow the user to configure that we want to do the same for resolveAll(...), which means we should be able to notify as soon as all records for a preferred record were resolved.
Modifications:
- Add a new DnsNameResolverBuilder method to allow configure this (use false as default to not change default behaviour)
- Add unit test
Result:
Be able to speed up resolving.
Motivation:
At the moment resolve(...) does just delegate to resolveAll(...) and so will only notify the future once all records were resolved. This is wasteful as we are only interested in the first record anyway. We should notify the promise as soon as one record that matches the preferred record type is resolved.
Modifications:
- Introduce DnsResolveContext.isCompleteEarly(...) to be able to detect once we should early notify the promise.
- Make use of this early detecting if resolve(...) is called
- Remove FutureListener which could lead to IllegalReferenceCountException due double releases
- add unit test
Result:
Be able to notify about resolved host more quickly.
Motivation:
We did not correctly calculate the new ttl as we did forget to add `this.`
Modifications:
Add .this and so correctly calculate the TTL
Result:
Use correct TTL for authoritative nameservers when updating these.
Motivation:
To closely mimic what the JDK does we should not try to resolve AAAA records if the system itself does not support IPv6 at all as it is impossible to connect to this addresses later on. In this case we need to use ResolvedAddressTypes.IPV4_ONLY.
Modifications:
Add static method to detect if IPv6 is supported and if not use ResolvedAddressTypes.IPV4_ONLY.
Result:
More consistent behaviour between JDK and our resolver implementation.
Motivation:
At the moment we basically drop all non prefered addresses when calling DnsNameResolver.resolveAll(...). This is just incorrect and was introduced by 4cd39cc4b3. More correct is to still retain these but sort the returned List to have the prefered addresses on the beginning of the List. This also ensures resolve(...) will return the correct return type.
Modifications:
- Introduce PreferredAddressTypeComperator which we use to sort the List so it will contain the preferred address type first.
- Add unit test to verify behaviour
Result:
Include not only preferred addresses in the List that is returned by resolveAll(...)
Motivation:
We should not throw check exceptions when the user calls sync*() but should better wrap it in a CompletionException to make it easier for people to reason about what happens.
Modifications:
- Change sync*() to throw CompletionException
- Adjust tests
- Add some more tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8521.
Motivation:
During investigating some other bug I noticed that we log with warn level if we fail to notify the promise due the fact that it is already full-filled. This is not correct and missleading as there is nothing wrong with it in general. A promise may already been fullfilled because we did multiple queries and one of these was successful.
Modifications:
- Change log level to trace
- Add unit test which before did log with warn level but now does with trace level.
Result:
Less missleading noise in the log.
Motivation:
DnsNameResolver#resolveAll(String) may return duplicate results in the event that the original hostname DNS response includes an IP address X and a CNAME that ends up resolving the same IP address X. This behavior is inconsistent with the JDK’s resolver and is unexpected to retrun a List with duplicate entries from a resolveAll(..) call.
Modifications:
- Filter out duplicates
- Add unit test
Result:
More consistent and less suprising behavior
Motivation:
As we now us java8 as minimum java version we can deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter and just move the default implementations into the interfaces. This makes things a bit more flexible for the end-user and also simplifies the class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Mark ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter and ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter as deprecated
- Add default implementations to ChannelInboundHandler / ChannelOutboundHandler
- Refactor our code to not use ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter anymore
Result:
Cleanup class-hierarchy and make things a bit more flexible.
Motivation:
We did not have any unit tests that queries for TXT records.
Modifications:
Add unit test to query TXT records.
Result:
More test-coverage.
Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
We can use lambdas now as we use Java8.
Modification:
use lambda function for all package, #8751 only migrate transport package.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
As netty 4.x supported Java 6 we had various if statements to check for java versions < 8. We can remove these now.
Modification:
Remove unnecessary if statements that check for java versions < 8.
Result:
Cleanup code.
* Decouble EventLoop details from the IO handling for each transport to allow easy re-use of code and customization
Motiviation:
As today extending EventLoop implementations to add custom logic / metrics / instrumentations is only possible in a very limited way if at all. This is due the fact that most implementations are final or even package-private. That said even if these would be public there are the ability to do something useful with these is very limited as the IO processing and task processing are very tightly coupled. All of the mentioned things are a big pain point in netty 4.x and need improvement.
Modifications:
This changeset decoubled the IO processing logic from the task processing logic for the main transport (NIO, Epoll, KQueue) by introducing the concept of an IoHandler. The IoHandler itself is responsible to wait for IO readiness and process these IO events. The execution of the IoHandler itself is done by the SingleThreadEventLoop as part of its EventLoop processing. This allows to use the same EventLoopGroup (MultiThreadEventLoupGroup) for all the mentioned transports by just specify a different IoHandlerFactory during construction.
Beside this core API change this changeset also allows to easily extend SingleThreadEventExecutor / SingleThreadEventLoop to add custom logic to it which then can be reused by all the transports. The ideas are very similar to what is provided by ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (that is part of the JDK). This allows for example things like:
* Adding instrumentation / metrics:
* how many Channels are registered on an SingleThreadEventLoop
* how many Channels were handled during the IO processing in an EventLoop run
* how many task were handled during the last EventLoop / EventExecutor run
* how many outstanding tasks we have
...
...
* Implementing custom strategies for choosing the next EventExecutor / EventLoop to use based on these metrics.
* Use different Promise / Future / ScheduledFuture implementations
* decorate Runnable / Callables when submitted to the EventExecutor / EventLoop
As a lot of functionalities are folded into the MultiThreadEventLoopGroup and SingleThreadEventLoopGroup this changeset also removes:
* AbstractEventLoop
* AbstractEventLoopGroup
* EventExecutorChooser
* EventExecutorChooserFactory
* DefaultEventLoopGroup
* DefaultEventExecutor
* DefaultEventExecutorGroup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8514 .
Motivation:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap() is no longer needed so it could be easily removed and new ConcurrentHashMap<>() inlined instead of invoking PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap().
Modification:
Use ConcurrentHashMap provided by the JDK directly.
Result:
Less code to maintain.
