Motivation:
Java_io_netty_channel_epoll_Native_getSoError incorrectly returns the value from the get socket option function.
Modifications:
- return the value from the result of the get socket option call
Result:
Java_io_netty_channel_epoll_Native_getSoError returns the correct value.
Motivation:
SlicedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is sliced.
Modifications:
- Add SlicedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.
Result:
Faster SlicedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.
Motivation:
DuplicatedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is duplicated.
Modifications:
- Add DuplicatedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.
Result:
Faster DuplicatedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.
Motivation:
Calling AbstractByteBuf.toString(..., Charset) is used quite frequently by users but produce a lot of GC.
Modification:
- Use a FastThreadLocal to store the CharBuffer that are needed for decoding.
- Use internalNioBuffer(...) when possible
Result:
Less object creation / Less GC
Motivation:
The SSLSession allows to invalidate a SSLSession and so disallow resume of a session. We should support this for OpenSSLEngine as well.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement SSLSession.isValid() and invalidate() in OpenSSLEngine
- Add unit test.
Result:
Invalidate of SSL sessions is supported when using OpenSSL now.
Motivation:
As part of recent efforts to rectify performance and make 4.1 headers more similar to 5.0 some methods were deprecated. Some of these methods were deprecated because they used String instead of CharSequence in the signature, which may require casting at the user level. Some of the deprecated methods have no direct alternatives and were done to inform a user the method will go away in future releases.
Modifications:
- Remove the deprecated qualifier from methods where no direct replacement exists
Result:
Less warnings in user code.
Motiviation:
Checking reference count on every access on a ByteBuf can have some big performance overhead depending on how the access pattern is. If the user is sure that there are no reference count errors on his side it should be possible to disable the check and so gain the max performance.
Modification:
- Add io.netty.buffer.bytebuf.checkAccessible system property which allows to disable the checks. Enabled by default.
- Add microbenchmark
Result:
Increased performance for operations on the ByteBuf.
Motivation:
We should minimize and optimize bound checks as much as possible to get the most out of performance.
Modifications:
- Use bitwise operations to remove branching
- Remove branches when possible
Result:
Better performance for various operations.
Motivation:
Remove encoderMaxConcurrentStreams(...) and use the default settings. Also throw an exception if server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Remove encoderMaxConcurrentStreams(...) method
- Throw exception if server mode is used and trying to enforce conncurrent streams.
Result:
Correctly support settings stuff via builder
Motivation:
The proxy example contains some code that is not needed. This can confuse the reader.
Modifications:
Remove the not needed ctx.write(...).
Result:
Less confusing code.
Motivation:
EmbeddedChannelId#hashCode() and equals() do not behave correctly if an
instance is serialized and then deserialized. Additionally,
EmbeddedChannel does not allow use of any other type of ChannelId, and
EmbeddedChannelId is (mostly) a singleton instance. This creates a
problem for unit tests that construct multiple EmbeddedChannels and
expect each channel to have a unique ID.
Modifications:
EmbeddedChannelId is modified so equals() will return true and
hashCode() will return the same value for any instance of the class.
EmbeddedChannel is modified to allow a ChannelId to be specified when
the channel is constructed. Tests added for both changes.
Result:
EmbeddedChannelId now behaves correctly when deserialized, and
EmbeddedChannels can now have unique IDs.
Motivation:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) / writeUsAscii(...) can use a fast-path when writing into AbstractByteBuf. We should try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf implementations so
we are able to do the same on wrapped AbstractByteBuf instances.
Modifications:
- Try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf to use the fast-path
Result:
Faster writing of utf8 and usascii for WrappedByteBuf instances.
Motivation:
As relaying on external DNS Server can result to test-failures we should better use a mock DNS Server for the dns tests.
Modifications:
- Refactor the DnsNameResolverTest to use a mock DNS Server which is using apacheds.
- Allow to disable adding an opt resources as some servers not support it.
Result:
More stable testsuite.
Motivation:
As toString() is often used while logging we need to ensure this produces no exception.
Modifications:
Ensure we never throw an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Result:
Be able to log without produce exceptions.
Motivation:
PendingWriteQueueTest needs some cleanup.
Modifications:
- Cleanup code to remove deprecation warnings
- use static imports
Result:
No more warnings
Motivation:
The logic in ByteBufUtilTest.ByteBufUtilTest is wrong. It is attempting to ensure at least 1 byte is different in the ranges that will be subsequently compared, but does so before the copy operation.
Modifications:
- Move the code which ensures there is a difference to after the copy
- Simplify the logic which ensures there is a difference
Result:
Unit test now operates as designed.
Motivation:
At the moment we only forward decoded messages that were added the out List once the full decode loop was completed. This has the affect that resources may not be released as fast as possible and as an application may incounter higher latency if the user triggeres a writeAndFlush(...) as a result of the decoded messages.
Modifications:
- forward decoded messages after each decode call
Result:
Forwarding decoded messages through the pipeline in a more eager fashion.
Motivation:
Often unwrap(...), wrap(...) is used with a single ByteBuffer and not with a ByteBuffer[]. We should reduce the array creations in this case.
Modifications:
Reuse ByteBuffer[1] for dst/src ByteBuffer.
Result:
Less object creation and so less GC
Motivation:
We missed to run all pending tasks when EmbeddedChannel.close(...) or disconnect(...) was called. Because of this channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) of the handlers were never called.
Modifications:
Correctly run all pending tasks and cancel all not ready scheduled tasks when close or disconnect was called.
Result:
Correctly run tasks on close / disconnect and have channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) called.
Motivation:
We had an unused paramter on a method, we should just remove it to keep code clean.
Modifications:
- Remove parameter
- Fix typo in javadoc
Result:
Cleanup done.
Motivation:
If a RDHUP and IN event occurred at the same time it is possible we may not read all pending data on the channel. We should ensure we read data before processing the RDHUP event.
Modifications:
- Process the RDHUP event before the IN event.
Result:
Data will not be dropped.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4317
Motivation:
EPOLL attempts to support half closed socket, but fails to call shutdown to close the read portion of the file descriptor.
Motivation:
- If half closed is supported shutting down the input should call underlying Native.shutdown(...) to make sure the peer is notified of the half closed state.
Result:
EPOLL half closed is more correct.
Motivation:
As a SSL session may be created later at some time we should compute the creation time in a lazy fashion.
Modifications:
- Lazy compute creation time
- Add some unit test
Result:
More correct behavior
Motivation:
ByteBufUtilTest.notEqualsBufferSubsections is testing non-equality but just uses random numbers to assume they will not be equal. Even after the random bytes are generated we should check they are infact not equal so the test has no chance of failing when it should not.
Modifications:
- Loop through bytes in notEqualsBufferSubsections after they are randomly generated to ensure there is atleast 1 difference.
Result:
More reliable unit tests.
Motivation:
When dealing with case insensitive headers it can be useful to have a case insensitive contains method for CharSequence.
Modifications:
- Add containsCaseInsensative to AsciiString
Result:
More expressive utility method for case insensitive CharSequence.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder writes a ACK when receiving a ping frame and sends the same data buffer it received. The data buffer is also passed to the listener, but the indexes are shared between the send and the listener. We should ensure the indexes are independent for these two operations.
Modifications:
- Call slice on the buffer that is being sent
Result:
Listener now has access to a buffer that will not appear to be already consumed.
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons:
1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this.
2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction.
Modifications:
- Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects
- Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler
Result:
It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly update the internal handshake state on beginHandshake() if we was able to finish the handshake directly. Also we not handled the case correctly when beginHandshake() was called after the first handshake was finished, which incorrectly throw an Error.
Modifications:
- Correctly set internal handshake state in all cases
- Correctly handle beginHandshake() once first handshake was finished.
Result:
Correctly handle OpenSslEngine.beginHandshake()
Motivation:
It is often the case that implementations of Http2FrameListener will want to send responses when data is read. The Http2FrameListener needs access to the Http2ConnectionHandler (or the encoder contained within) to be able to send responses. However the Http2ConnectionHandler requires a Http2FrameListener instance to be passed in during construction time. This creates a cyclic dependency which can make it difficult to cleanly accomplish this relationship.
Modifications:
- Add Http2ConnectionDecoder.frameListener(..) method to set the frame listener. This will allow the listener to be set after construction.
Result:
Classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler can more cleanly set the Http2FrameListener.
Motivation:
We should fail the build on warnings in the JNI/c code.
Modifications:
- Add GCC flag to fail build on warnings.
- Fix warnings (which also fixed a bug when using splice with offsets).
Result:
Better code quality.
Motivation:
A new version of netty-tcnative was released with some important bug-fixes.
Modifications:
Bump up version.
Result:
Using latest netty-tcnative version
Motivation:
We should prevent to add/set DefaultHttpHeaders to itself to prevent unexpected side-effects.
Modifications:
Throw IllegalArgumentException if user tries to pass the same instance to set/add.
Result:
No surprising side-effects.
Motivation:
The STOMP decoder used to fail when parsing a frame with no content-length
and a body split across multiple packets.
Modifications:
Support contentLength of -1 (indicating indeterminate length) and added a
check to getContentLength. Moved the NUL byte searching from the
readHeaders() method out to the main decoder loop.
Result:
A STOMP frame can be properly parsed even if it's missing the
content-length header and the NUL byte is in a later packet.
Motivation:
If a remote peer writes fast enough it may take a long time to have fireChannelReadComplete(...) triggered. Because of this we need to take special care and ensure we try to discard some bytes if channelRead(...) is called to often in ByteToMessageDecoder.
Modifications:
- Add ByteToMessageDecoder.setDiscardAfterReads(...) which allows to set the number of reads after which we try to discard the read bytes
- Use default value of 16 for max reads.
Result:
No risk of OOME.
Motivation:
For implementations that want to manage flow control down to the stream level it is useful to be notified when stream writability changes.
Modifications:
- Add writabilityChanged to Http2RemoteFlowController.Listener
- Add isWritable to Http2RemoteFlowController
Result:
The Http2RemoteFlowController provides notification when writability of a stream changes.
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController has become very large and is getting difficult to understand and maintain. It is also desirable for some applications to be able to disable the priority algorithm altogether for performance reasons.
Modifications:
Abstract the stream byte assignment logic (renamed allocation->assignment for clarity) behind an interface `StreamByteAssigner` with a single implementation `PriorityStreamByteAssigner`.
Result:
Goes some way towards supporting #4246
Motivation:
We should provide a better way to set session keys that not use the deprecated method of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionTicketKey
- Expose new method on OpenSslServerContext and deprecate the old method.
Result:
Easier to use and can remove the deprecated method later on.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController's allocation algorithm may not allocate all bytes that are available in the connection window. If the 'fair share' based upon weight is not fully used by sibling nodes it was not correctly re-distributed to other sibilings which may be able to utilize part / all of that share.
Modifications:
- Add a unit test which demonstrates the issue.
- Modify the allocation algorithm to ensure all available bytes are allocated.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4266
Motivation:
We should call shutdown(...) on the socket before closing the filedescriptor to ensure it is closed gracefully.
Modifications:
Call shutdown(...) before close.
Result:
Sockets are gracefully shutdown when using native transport.
Motivation:
We need to ensure all markers are reset when doing an allocation via the PooledByteBufAllocator. This was not the always the case.
Modifications:
Move all logic that needs to get executed when reuse a PooledByteBuf into one place and call it.
Result:
Correct behavior
Motivation:
Some DNS servers in DnsNameResolverTest are outdated and some of them
returns NoError for non-existent domains.
Modifications:
- Update the DNS server list from http://meo.ws/dnsrec.php again
- Update the web-scraper script
Result:
DnsNameResolverTest.testNegativeTtl() should not fail anymore.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4257 introduced paramters and didn't use them.
Modifications:
- Use the new paramters
Result:
No warnings and correct behavior
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) must return HandhsakeStatus.FINISHED if an unwrap or wrap finishes a handshake to behave like descripted in the SSLEngine docs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we return HandshakeStatus.FINISHED
Result:
Behave correctly.
Motivation:
On ubuntu, InetAddress.getLocalHost() will return 127.0.1.1 this causes some tests to fail.
NetUtil.LOCALHOST4 is more portable.
Modifications:
Made changes in EpollSocketTcpMd5Test to make test passing on ubuntu.
Result:
EpollSocketTcpMd5Test now also passes on ubuntu.
