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.
Motivation:
As discussed in #5738, developers need to concern themselves with setting
connection: keep-alive on the response as well as whether to close a
connection or not after writing a response. This leads to special keep-alive
handling logic in many different places. The purpose of the HttpServerKeepAliveHandler
is to allow developers to add this handler to their pipeline and therefore
free themselves of having to worry about the details of how Keep-Alive works.
Modifications:
Added HttpServerKeepAliveHandler to the io.netty.handler.codec.http package.
Result:
Developers can start using HttpServerKeepAliveHandler in their pipeline instead
of worrying about when to close a connection for keep-alive.
Motivation:
Http2ServerDowngrader doesn't mark chunked requests as chunked, even
though the natural conversion from http/2 requests to http/1.1 requests
is to chunked ones.
Modifications:
Mark requests that aren't already complete as chunked.
Result:
Requests will be chunked, and can later be aggregated if necessary.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler has a number of volatile member variables which are only accessed from the EventLoop thread. These do not have to be volatile. The accessibility of these member variables are not consistent between private and package private. The state variable can also use a byte instead of an int.
Modifications:
- Remove volatile from member variables
- Change access to private for member variables
- Change state from int to byte
Result:
IdleStateHandler member variables cleaned up.
Motivation:
Void promises need special treatment, as they don't behave like normal promises. One
cannot add a listener to a void promise for example.
Modifications:
Inspected the code for addListener() calls, and added extra logic for void promises
where necessary. Essentially, when writing a frame with a void promise, any errors
are reported via the channel pipeline's exceptionCaught event.
Result:
The HTTP/2 codec has better support for void promises.
Motivation:
MessageAggregator has a potential to leak if a new message is received before the existing message has completed, and if a HttpContent is received but maxContentLength has been exceeded, or the content length is too long.
Modifications:
- Make the HttpObjectAggregator more robust to leaks
- Reduce dependance on handlingOversizedMessage but instead rely on the more general check of a null currentMessage
Result:
More robust MessageAggregator with less chance of leaks
Motivation:
At the moment we log very confusing messages when trying to load a native library which kind of suggest that the whole loading process failed even if just one mechanism failed and the library could be loaded at the end.
Modifications:
Make the mesage less confusing and also log a successful load of the native library.
Result:
Less confusing logs.
Motivation:
IdleStateHandler and ReadTimeoutHandler could mistakely not fire an event even if no channelRead(...) call happened.
Modifications:
Only set lastReadTime if a read happened before.
Result:
More correct IdleStateHandler / ReadTimeoutHandler.
Motivation:
Since netty shaded JCTools the OSGi manifest no longer is correct. It claims to
have an optional import "org.jctools.queues;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.qu
eues.atomic;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.util;resolution:=optional"
However since it is shaded, this is no longer true.
This was noticed when making JCTools a real bundle and netty resolved it as
optional import.
Modifications:
Modify the generated manifest by no longer analyzing org.jctools for imports.
A manual setting of sun.misc as optional was required.
Result:
Netty OSGi bundle will no longer interfere with a JCTools bundle.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only call debugData.release() if we called debugData.retain(), otherwise we my see an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Modifications:
Only call release() if we called retain().
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException possible.
Motivation:
We need to call debugData.retain() before we forward the frame to the pipeline as ByteToMessageDecoder will call release() on the buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly retain debugData and fix the unit test to test for it.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException when using the Http2FrameCodec.
Motivation:
As described in #5734
Before this change, if the server had to do some sort of setup after a
handshake was completed based on handshake's information, the only way
available was to wait (in a separate thread) for the handshaker to be
added as an attribute to the channel. Too much hassle.
Modifications:
Handshake completed event need to be stateful now, so I've added a tiny
class holding just the HTTP upgrade request and the selected subprotocol
which is fired as an event after the handshake has finished.
I've also deprecated the old enum used as stateless event and I left the
code that fires it for backward compatibility. It should be removed in
the next mayor release.
Result:
It should be much simpler now to do initialization stuff based on
subprotocol or request headers on handshake completion. No asynchronous
waiting needed anymore.
Motivation:
he HTTP/2 spec demands that the max value for SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE should be an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Modifications:
Change the limit to unsigned 32-bit integer and add tests.
Result:
Complient to rfc.
Motivation:
As we use compression in the websocketx example we need to allow extensions as ohterwise the example not works.
Modifications:
Allow extensions.
Result:
websocketx example does work.
Motivation:
To make it easier to debug why notification of a promise failed we should log extra info and make it consistent.
Modifications:
- Create a new PromiseNotificationUtil that has static methods that can be used to try notify a promise and log.
- Reuse this in AbstractChannelHandlerContext, ChannelOutboundBuffer and PromiseNotifier
Result:
Easier to debug why a promise could not be notified.
Motivation:
There is an incoherence in terms of API when one wants to use
startTls: without startTls one can use the SslContextBuilder's
method newHandler, but with startTls, the developper is forced
to call directly the SslHandler constructor.
Modifications:
Introduce startTls as a SslContextBuilder parameter as well as a
member in SslContext (and thus Jdk and OpenSsl implementations!).
Always use this information to call the SslHandler constructor.
Use false by default, in particular in deprecated constructors of
the SSL implementations.
The client Context use false by default
Results:
Fixes#5170 and more generally homogenise the API so that
everything can be done via SslContextBuilder.
Motivation
I'm looking to harden our SSL impl. a little bit and add some guards agaist certain types of abuse. One can think of invalid hostname strings in the SNI extenstion or invalid SNI handshakes altogether. This will require measuring, velocity tracking and other things.
Modifications
Adding a protected `lookup(ctx, hostname)` method that is called from SniHandler's `select(...)` method which users can override and implement custom behaviour. The default implementation will simply call the AsyncMapper.
Result
It's possible to get a hold onto the ChannelHandlerContext. Users can override that method and do something with it right there or they can delegate it to something else. SniHandler is happy as long as a `Future<SslContext>` is being returned.
Motivation:
The CorsHandler currently closes the channel when it responds to a preflight (OPTIONS)
request or in the event of a short circuit due to failed validation.
Especially in an environment where there's a proxy in front of the service this causes
unnecessary connection churn.
Modifications:
CorsHandler now uses HttpUtil to determine if the connection should be closed
after responding and to set the Connection header on the response.
Result:
Channel will stay open when the CorsHandler responds unless the client specifies otherwise
or the protocol version is HTTP/1.0
Motivation:
RFC7871 defines an extension which allows to request responses for a given subset.
Modifications:
- Add DnsOptPseudoRrRecord which can act as base class for extensions based on EDNS(0) as defined in RFC6891
- Add DnsOptEcsRecord to support the Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension
- Add tests
Result:
Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension is now supported.
Motivation:
af632278d2 introduced a test which only worked on some jvm versions and specific os'es.
Modifications:
Fix test to work on different java versions and os'es
Result:
No flacky test.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not set duplicated certificates when using OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
- Skip first cert in chain when set the chain itself and so not send duplicated certificates
- Add interopt unit tests to ensure no duplicates are send.
Result:
No more duplicates.
Motivation:
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler has a package-private method called "userDefinedWritabilityIndex()" which a user may need to override if two sub-classes wants to be used in the ChannelPipeline.
Modifications:
Mark method protected.
Result:
Easier to extend AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Motivation:
For use cases that demand frequent updates of the write watermarks, an
API that requires immutable WriteWaterMark objects is not ideal, as it
implies a lot of object allocation.
For example, the HTTP/2 child channel API uses write watermarks for outbound
flow control and updates the write watermarks on every DATA frame write.
Modifications:
Remote @Deprecated tag from primitive getters and setters, however the corresponding
channel options remain deprecated.
Result:
Primitive getters and setters for write watermarks are no longer marked @Deprecated.
Motivation:
We can share the code in retain() and retain(...) and also in release() and release(...).
Modifications:
Share code.
Result:
Less duplicated code.
Motivation:
The JDK implementation of SocketChannel has an internal state that is tracked for its operations. Because of this we need to ensure we call finishConnect() before try to call read(...) / write(...) as otherwise it may produce a NotYetConnectedException.
Modifications:
First process OP_CONNECT flag.
Result:
No more possibility of NotYetConnectedException because OP_CONNECT is handled not early enough when processing interestedOps for a Channel.
Motivation:
SslHandler can be cleaned up a bit in terms of naming and duplicated code.
Modifications:
- Fix naming of arguments
- Not schedule timeout event if not really needed
- share some code and simplify
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
We need to not change the original writerIndex when decode a DnsPtrRecord as otherwise we will not be able to decode other records that follow it.
Modifications:
Slice the data out and so not increase the writerIndex.
Result:
No more problems when decoding.
Motivation:
We introduced a regression in 1abdbe6f67 which let the iteration start from the wrong index.
Modifications:
Fix start index and add tests.
Result:
Fix regression.
Motivation:
The DefaultEventLoopGroup class extends MultithreadEventExecutorGroup but doesn't expose the ctor variants that accept a custom Executor like NioEventLoopGroup and EpollEventLoopGroup do.
Modifications:
Add missing constructor.
Result:
Be able to use custom Executor with DefaultEventLoopGroup.
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:
When a SecurityManager is in place it may dissallow accessing the property which will lead to not be able to load the application.
Modifications:
Use AccessController.doPrivileged(...)
Result:
No more problems with SecurityManager.
Motivation:
When attempting to set the selectedKeys fields on the selector
implementation, JDK 9 can throw an inaccessible object exception.
Modications:
Catch and log this exception as an possible course of action if the
sun.nio.ch package is not exported from java.base.
Result:
The selector replacement will fail gracefully as an expected course of
action if the sun.nio.ch package is not exported from java.base.
Motivation:
Windows refuses to load a .DLL file when it's opened by other process.
Recent modification in NativeLibraryLoader causes NativeLibraryLoader to
attempt to load a .DLL before closing its OutputStream. As a result,
loading a .DLL file in Windows always fails.
Modifications:
Close the OutputStream explicitly before loading a shared library.
Result:
Native library loading in Windows works again.
Motivation:
Documentation was added in #2401 to aid developers in understanding
how HttpObjectAggregator works and that it needs an encoder before it.
In #2471 it was pointed out that the documentation added can actually
add to the confusion and that it might have a typo.
This is an attempt at clearing up that confusion. Feedback is welcome.
Modifications:
- Adjust class level javadoc for HttpObjectAggregator
* Remove reference to HttpRequestEncoder
* Point out when HttpResponseEncoder is needed
* Point out that either HttpRequestDecoder or HttpResponseDecoder is needed
* Make clear everything must be added before HttpObjectAggregator
* Mention HttpServerCodec
Result:
Avoid confusion about dependencies for HttpObjectAggregator on the pipeline.
Motivation
The SniHandler is currently hiding its replaceHandler() method and everything that comes with it. The user has no easy way of getting a hold onto the SslContext for the purpose of reference counting for example. The SniHandler does have getter methods for the SslContext and hostname but they're not very practical or useful. For one the SniHandler will remove itself from the pipeline and we'd have to track a reference of it externally and as we saw in #5745 it'll possibly leave its internal "selection" object with the "EMPTY_SELECTION" value (i.e. we've just lost track of the SslContext).
Modifications
Expose replaceHandler() and allow the user to override it and get a hold onto the hostname, SslContext and SslHandler that will replace the SniHandler.
Result
It's possible to get a hold onto the SslContext, the hostname and the SslHandler that is about to replace the SniHandler. Users can add additional behavior.
Motivation:
Commit 2c1f17faa2 introduced a regression which could cause NotYetConnectedExceptions when handling RDHUP events.
Modifications:
Correct ignore NotYetConnectedException when handling RDHUP events.
Result:
No more regression.
Motiviation:
Previously the way how CertificateRequestCallback was working had some issues which could cause memory leaks and segfaults. Due of this tcnative code was updated to change the signature of the method provided by the interface.
Modifications:
Update CertificateRequestCallback implementations to match new interface signature.
Result:
No more segfaults / memory leaks when using boringssl or openssl >= 1.1.0
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
SslHandler's handlerRemoved() is supposed to release the SSLEngine (which it does) but there is no Test for it to make sure it really happens and doesn't unexpectedly change in the future.
Modifications
Add a Unit Test that makes sure that SslHandler releases the SSLEngine when the Channel gets closed.
Result
Assurance that SslHandler will not leak (ReferenceCounted) SSLEngines.
Motivation:
Result of ByteBufUtil.compare(ByteBuf a, ByteBuf b) is dependent on ByteOrder of supplied ByteBufs which should not be the case (as stated in the javadocs).
Modifications:
Ensure we get a consistent behavior when calling ByteBufUtil.compare(ByteBuf a, ByteBuf b) and not depend on ByteOrder.
Result:
ByteBufUtil.compare(ByteBuf a, ByteBuf b) and so AbstractByteBuf.compare(...) works correctly as stated in the javadocs.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.FlowControlledData.write() does not
complete the write promise of empty HTTP/2 DATA frames until either a
non-DATA frame, a non-empty DATA frame or a DATA frame with endOfStream
set. This makes the write promise of the empty DATA frame is notified
much later than it could be.
Modifications:
- Notify the write promise of the empty DATA frames immediately is the
queue contains empty DATA frames only
Result:
The write promise of an empty DATA frame is notified sooner.
Motivation:
The SniHandler attempts to generate a new SslHandler from the selected SslContext in a and insert that SslHandler into the pipeline. However if the underlying channel has been closed or the pipeline has been modified the pipeline.replace(..) operation may fail. Creating the SslHandler may also create a SSLEngine which is of type ReferenceCounted. The SslHandler states that if it is not inserted into a pipeline that it will not take reference count ownership of the SSLEngine. Under these conditions we will leak the SSLEngine if it is reference counted.
Modifications:
- If the pipeline.replace(..) operation fails we should release the SSLEngine object.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5678
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 HPACK Encoder class has some code which is only used for test purposes. This code can be removed to reduce complexity and member variable count.
Modifications:
- Remove test code and update unit tests
- Other minor cleanup
Result:
Test code is removed from operational code.
Motivation:
The API documentation in ChannelConfig states that a a channel is writable,
if the number of pending bytes is below the low watermark and a
channel is not writable, if the number of pending bytes exceeds the high
watermark.
Therefore, we should use < operators instead of <= as well as > instead of >=.
Using <= and >= is also problematic, if the low watermark is equal to the high watermark,
as then a channel could be both writable and unwritable with the same number of pending
bytes (depending on whether remove() or addMessage() is called first).
The use of <= and >= was introduced in PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3036, but
I don't understand why, as there doesn't seem to have been any discussion around that.
Modifications:
Use < and > operators instead of <= and >=.
Result:
High and low watermarks are treated as stated in the API docs.
