Modifications:
Converted AsciiString into a String by calling toString() method before comparing with equals(). Also added a unit-test to show that it works.
Result:
Major violation is gone. Code is correct.
Motivation:
without this check then given a URI with path /path the resulting URL will be /path?null=
Modifications:
check that getRawQuery doesn't return null and only append if not
Result:
urls of the form /path will not have a null?= appended
Motivation:
So far, we generated and deployed test JARs to Maven repositories. The
deployed JAR had the classifier 'test-jar'. The test JAR is consumed by
transport-native-epoll as a test dependency.
The problem is, when netty-transport-native-epoll pulls the test JAR as
a dependency, that Maven resolves its transitive dependencies at
'compile' and 'runtime' scope only, which is incorrect.
I was bitten by this problem recently while trying to add a new
dependency to netty-testsuite. Because I added a new dependency at the
'test' scope, the new dependency was not pulled transitively by
transport-native-epoll and caused an unexpected build failure.

- bf77bb4c3a
Modifications:
- Move all classes in netty-testsuite from src/test to src/main
- Update the 'compile' scope dependencies of netty-testsuite
- Override the test directory configuration properties of the surefire
plugin
- Do not generate the test JAR anymore
- Update the dependency of netty-transport-native-epoll
Result:
It is less error-prone to add a new dependency to netty-testsuite.
Motivation:
It takes too long to download the heap dump from the CI server.
Modifications:
Compress the heap dump as much as possible.
Result:
When heap dump is generated by certain test failure, the generated heap
dump file is about 3 times smaller than before, although the compression
time will increase the build time when the test fails.
Motivation:
Fix a minor documentation bug in
ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete.
Modifications:
ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete no longer references an
incorrect method in its javadoc.
Results:
Documentation is correct.
Motivation:
Everytime a new connection is accepted via EpollSocketServerChannel it will create a new EpollSocketChannel that needs to get the remote and local addresses in the constructor. The current implementation uses new InetSocketAddress(String, int) to create these. This is quite slow due the implementation in oracle and openjdk.
Modifications:
Encode all needed informations into a byte array before return from jni layer and then use new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress, int) to create the socket addresses. This allows to create the InetAddress via a byte[] and so reduce the overhead, this is done either by using InetAddress.getByteAddress(byte[]) or by Inet6Address.getByteAddress(String, byte[], int).
Result:
Reduce performance overhead while accept new connections with native transport
Motivation:
So far, our TLS renegotiation test did not test changing cipher suite
during renegotiation explicitly.
Modifications:
- Switch the cipher suite during renegotiation
Result:
We are now sure the cipher suite change works.

Motivation:
SslHandler.unwrap() does not evaluate the handshake status of
SSLEngine.unwrap() when the status of SSLEngine.unwrap() is CLOSED.
It is not correct because the status does not reflect the state of the
handshake currently in progress, accoding to the API documentation of
SSLEngineResult.Status.
Also, sslCloseFuture can be notified earlier than handshake notification
because we call sslCloseFuture.trySuccess() before evaluating handshake
status.
Modifications:
- Notify sslCloseFuture after the unwrap loop is finished
- Add more assertions to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Potentially fix the regression caused by:
- e9685ea45a
Motivation:
We have a few sporadic test failures which are only easily reproduceable
in our CI machine. To get more information about the failure, we need
heap and full thread dump at the moment of failure.
Modifications:
- Add TestUtils.dump() method to dump heap and threads
- Modify SocketGatheringWriteTest and SocketSslEchoTest to call
TestUtils.dump() on failure
Result:
We get more information about the test failure.
Motivation:
We only provided a constructor in DefaultFileRegion that takes a FileChannel which means the File itself needs to get opened on construction. This has the problem that if you want to write a lot of Files very fast you may end up with may open FD's even if they are not needed yet. This can lead to hit the open FD limit of the OS.
Modifications:
Add a new constructor to DefaultFileRegion which allows to construct it from a File. The FileChannel will only be obtained when transferTo(...) is called or the DefaultFileRegion is explicit open'ed via open() (this is needed for the native epoll transport)
Result:
Less resource usage when writing a lot of DefaultFileRegion.
Motivation:
Before we missed to check if a buffer was released before we return the backing byte array or memoryaddress. This could lead to JVM crashes when someone tried various bulk operations on the Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.
Modifications:
Always check if the buffer is released before all to return the byte array and memoryaddress.
Result:
No more JVM crashes because of released buffers when doing bulk operations on Unsafe*ByteBuf implementations.

Motivation:
SslHandler currently does not issue a read() request when it is
handshaking. It makes a connection with autoRead off stall, because a
user's read() request can be used to read the handshake response which
is invisible to the user.
Modifications:
- SslHandler now issues a read() request when:
- the current handshake is in progress and channelReadComplete() is
invoked
- the current handshake is complete and a user issued a read() request
during handshake
- Rename flushedBeforeHandshakeDone to flushedBeforeHandshake for
consistency with the new variable 'readDuringHandshake'
Result:
SslHandler should work regardless whether autoRead is on or off.
Related: #3125
Motivation:
We did not expose a way to initiate TLS renegotiation and to get
notified when the renegotiation is done.
Modifications:
- Add SslHandler.renegotiate() so that a user can initiate TLS
renegotiation and get the future that's notified on completion
- Make SslHandler.handshakeFuture() return the future for the most
recent handshake so that a user can get the future of the last
renegotiation
- Add the test for renegotiation to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Both client-initiated and server-initiated renegotiations are now
supported properly.
Related: #3212
Motivation:
When SslHandler and ChunkedWriteHandler exists in a pipeline together,
it is possible that ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged()
invokes SslHandler.flush() and vice versa. Because they can feed each
other (i.e. ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged() ->
SslHandler.flush() -> ChunkedWriteHandler.channelWritabilityChanged() ->
..), they can fall into an inconsistent state due to reentrance (e.g.
bad MAC record at the remote peer due to incorrect ordering.)
Modifications:
- Trigger channelWritabilityChanged() using EventLoop.execute() when
there's a chance where channelWritabilityChanged() can cause a
reentrance issue
- Fix test failures caused by the modification
Result:
Fix the handler reentrance issues related with a
channelWritabilityChanged() event
Related: #3219
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() does not call ctx.flush() when channel is
not writable. This can be a problem when other handler / non-Netty
thread writes messages simultaneously, because
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() might have no chance to observe
channel.isWritable() returns true and thus the channel is never flushed.
Modifications:
- Ensure that ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() calls ctx.flush() at least
once.
Result:
A stall connection issue, that occurs when certain combination of
handlers exist in a pipeline, has been fixed. (e.g. SslHandler and
ChunkedWriteHandler)
Motivations:
The chunkSize might be oversized after comparison (size being > of int
capacity) if file size is bigger than an integer.
Modifications:
Change it to long.
Result:
There is no more int oversized.
Same fix for 4.1 and Master
Related: #3212
Motivation:
PendingWriteQueue.recycle() updates its data structure after triggering
a channelWritabilityChanged() event. It causes a rare corruption such as
double free when channelWritabilityChanged() method accesses the
PendingWriteQueue.
Modifications:
Update the state of PendingWriteQueue before triggering an event.
Result:
Fix a rare double-free problem
Related: #3190
Motivation:
When an outbound handler method raises an exception, its promise is
marked as failed. If the promise is done already, the exception is
logged.
When the promise is void, exceptionCaught() must be triggered to notify
a user. However, ChannelHandlerInvokerUtil simply swallows it.
Modifications:
Do not swallow an exception when the promise is void.
Result:
A user who uses a void promise for an outbound operation will be
notified on failure.
Related: #3189
Motivation:
OIO transport implementations block for at most 1 second to wait for
additional messages (or accepted connections).
However, because AbstractOioMessageChannel defers the channelRead()
events for the messages read so far until there's nothing to read up to
maxMessagesPerRead, any read operation will be followed by a 1-second
delay.
Modifications:
Fire channelRead() events as soon as doRead() returns so that there is
no 1 second delay between the actual read and the channelRead() event.
Result:
No more weird 1-second delay
Motivation:
The new Headers interface contains methods to getTimeMillis but no add/set/contains variants. These should be added for consistency.
Modifications:
- Add three new methods: addTimeMillis, setTimeMillis, containsTimeMillis to the Headers interface.
- Add a new method to the Headers.ValueConverter interface: T convertTimeMillis(long)
- Bring these new interfaces up the class hierarchy
Result:
All Headers classes have setters/getters for timeMillis.

Motivation:
DnsNameResolver was using InetSocketAddress.getHostString() which is
only available since Java 7.
Modifications:
Use InetSocketAddress.getHostName() in lieu of getHostString() when the
current Java version is less than 7.
Result:
DnsNameResolver runs fine on Java 6.
Related: #3166
Motivation:
When the recyclable object created at one thread is returned at the
other thread, it is stored in a WeakOrderedQueue.
The objects stored in the WeakOrderedQueue is added back to the stack by
WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() when the owner thread ran out of recyclable
objects.
However, WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() does not have any mechanism that
prevents the stack from growing beyond its maximum capacity.
Modifications:
- Make WeakOrderedQueue.transfer() increase the capacity of the stack
only up to its maximum
- Add tests for the cases where the recyclable object is returned at the
non-owner thread
- Fix a bug where Stack.scavengeSome() does not scavenge the objects
when it's the first time it ran out of objects and thus its cursor is
null.
- Overall clean-up of scavengeSome() and transfer()
Result:
The capacity of Stack never increases beyond its maximum.
Motivation:
io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent.isRoot() depends on the IS_ROOT field which is filled in during class initialization. This spawns processes and consumes resources, which are not generally necessary to the complete functioning of that class.
Modifications:
This switches the class to use lazy initialization this field inside of the isRoot() method using double-checked locking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-checked_locking).
Result:
The first call to isRoot() will be slightly slower, at a tradeoff that class loading is faster, uses fewer resources and platform errors are avoided unless necessary.
Motivation:
The example MemcacheClient set command doesn't work.
Modifications:
Fill the extras field buffer with zeros so that it gets written to the
request payload.
Result:
The example MemcacheClient set command works.
Related: #3156
Motivation:
Let's say we have a channel with the following pipeline configuration:
HEAD --> [E1] H1 --> [E2] H2 --> TAIL
when the channel is deregistered, the channelUnregistered() methods of
H1 and H2 will be invoked from the executor thread of E1 and E2
respectively. To ensure that the channelUnregistered() methods are
invoked from the correct thread, new one-time tasks will be created
accordingly and be scheduled via Executor.execute(Runnable).
As soon as the one-time tasks are scheduled,
DefaultChannelPipeline.fireChannelUnregistered() will start to remove
all handlers from the pipeline via teardownAll(). This process is
performed in reversed order of event propagation. i.e. H2 is removed
first, and then H1 is removed.
If the channelUnregistered() event has been passed to H2 before H2 is
removed, a user does not see any problem.
If H2 has been removed before channelUnregistered() event is passed to
H2, a user will often see the following confusing warning message:
An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of
the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did
not handle the exception.
Modifications:
To ensure that the handlers are removed *after* all events are
propagated, traverse the pipeline in ascending order before performing
the actual removal.
Result:
A user does not get the confusing warning message anymore.
- Parameterize DomainNameMapping to make it useful for other use cases
than just mapping to SslContext
- Move DomainNameMapping to io.netty.util
- Clean-up the API documentation
- Make SniHandler.hostname and sslContext volatile because they can be
accessed by non-I/O threads
Motivation:
We use 3 (!) libraries to build mock objects - easymock, mockito, jmock.
Mockito and jMock pulls in the different versions of Hamcrest, and it
conflicts with the version pulled by jUnit.
Modifications:
- Replace mockito-all with mockito-core to avoid pulling in outdated
jUnit and Hamcrest
- Exclude junit-dep when pulling in jmock-junit4, because it pulls an
outdated Hamcrest version
- Pull in the hamcrest-library version used by jUnit explicitly
Result:
No more dependency hell that results in NoSuchMethodError during the
tests
Motivation:
When we need to host multiple server name with a single IP, it requires
the server to support Server Name Indication extension to serve clients
with proper certificate. So the SniHandler will host multiple
SslContext(s) and append SslHandler for requested hostname.
Modification:
* Added SniHandler to host multiple certifications in a single server
* Test case
Result:
User could use SniHandler to host multiple certifcates at a time.
It's server-side only.
Motivation:
8fbc513 introduced stray warnings in callsites of
PromiseAggregator#add and PromiseNotifier#(...).
Modifications:
This commit adds the @SafeVarargs annotation to PromiseAggregator#add
and PromiseNotifier#(...). As Netty is built with JDK7, this is a
recognized annotation and should not affect runtime VM versions 1.5 and
1.6.
Result:
Building Netty with JDK7 will no longer produce warnings in the
callsites mentioned above.
Related: #3149
Motivation:
DnsQueryContext, using the DatagramChannel bound in DnsNameResolver,
blindly writes to the channel without checking the bind future for
success.
Modifications:
Check the bindFuture before writing a DNS query to a DatagramChannel
Result:
Bug fixed
Motivation:
AbstractUnsafe considers two possibilities during channel registration. First,
the channel may be an outgoing connection, in which case it will be registered
before becoming active. Second, the channel may be an incoming connection in,
which case the channel will already be active when it is registered. To handle
the second case, AbstractUnsafe checks if the channel is active after
registration and calls ChannelPipeline.fireChannelActive() if so. However, if
an active channel is deregistered and then re-registered this logic causes a
second fireChannelActive() to be invoked. This is unexpected; it is reasonable
for handlers to assume that this method will only be invoked once per channel.
Modifications:
This change introduces a flag into AbstractUnsafe to recognize if this is the
first or a subsequent registration. ChannelPipeline.fireChannelActive() is only
possible for the first registration.
Result:
ChannelPipeline.fireChannelActive() is only called once.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext used SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA in its cipher suite list.
OpenSslServerContext used DES-CBC3-SHA in the same place in its cipher suite
list, which is equivalent to SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
This means the lists were out of sync. Furthermore, using
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA is not desirable as it uses DES, a weak cipher. Triple
DES should be used instead.
Modifications:
Replace SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA with SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA in
JdkSslContext.
Result:
The JdkSslContext and OpenSslServerContext cipher suite lists are now in sync.
Triple DES is used instead of DES, which is stronger.
Motivation:
RC4 is not a recommended cipher suite anymore, as the recent research
reveals, such as:
- http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
Modifications:
- Remove most RC4 cipher suites from the default cipher suites
- For backward compatibility, leave RC4-SHA, while de-prioritizing it
Result:
Potentially safer default
Motivation:
Although the new IntObjectMap.values() that returns Collection is
useful, the removed values(Class<V>) that returns an array is also
useful. It's also good for backward compatibility.
Modifications:
- Add IntObjectMap.values(Class<V>) back
- Miscellaneous improvements
- Cache the collection returned by IntObjectHashMap.values()
- Inspector warnings
- Update the IntObjectHashMapTest to test both values()
Result:
- Backward compatibility
- Potential performance improvement of values()
Related: #3122
Motivation:
The HttpStaticFileServer example writes the LastHttpContent twice at the
end of the transfer. HttpChunkedInput already produces a
LastHttpContent at the end of the stream, so there's no reason to write
another.
Modifications:
Do not write LastHttpContent in HttpStaticFileServerHandler when
HttpChunkedInput is used to transfer a file.
Result:
HttpStaticFileServer does not violates the protocol anymore.
Motivation:
The mentioned commit contains a bug fix and an improvement in
IntObjectHashMap that requires backporting.
Modifications:
Update IntObjectMap, IntObjectHashMap, and IntObjectHashMapTest
Result:
Easier to backport HTTP/2 and other changes in master in the future
Related: #3157
Motivation:
It should be convenient to have an easy way to classify an
HttpResponseStatus based on the first digit of the HTTP status code, as
defined in the RFC 2616:
- Information 1xx
- Success 2xx
- Redirection 3xx
- Client Error 4xx
- Server Error 5xx
Modification:
- Add HttpStatusClass
- Add HttpResponseStatus.codeClass() that returns the class of the HTTP
status code
Result:
It's easier to determine the class of an HTTP status
Motivation:
When running the examples using the provided run-examples.sh script the
log level is 'info' level. It can be handy to be able to configure a
different level, for example 'debug', while learning and trying out the
the examples.
Modifications:
Added a dependency to logback-classic to the examples pom.xml, and also
added a logback configuration file. The log level can be configured by
setting the 'logLevel' system property, and if that property is not set
the default will be 'info' level.
The run-examples.sh was updated to show an example of using the system
property to set the log level to 'debug'
Result:
It is now possible to turn on debug logging by settnig a system property
on the command line.
Motivation:
When authenticating with a proxy server, HttpProxyHandler should use the
'Proxy-Authorization' header rather than the 'Authorization' header.
Modifications:
- Use 'Proxy-Authorization' header
Result:
Can connect to an HTTP proxy server
