Motivation:
We did various changes related to the ChannelOutboundBuffer in 4.0 branch. This commit port all of them over and so make sure our branches are synced in terms of these changes.
Related to [#2734], [#2709], [#2729], [#2710] and [#2693] .
Modification:
Port all changes that was done on the ChannelOutboundBuffer.
This includes the port of the following commits:
- 73dfd7c01b
- 997d8c32d2
- e282e504f1
- 5e5d1a58fd
- 8ee3575e72
- d6f0d12a86
- 16e50765d1
- 3f3e66c31a
Result:
- Less memory usage by ChannelOutboundBuffer
- Same code as in 4.0 branch
- Make it possible to use ChannelOutboundBuffer with Channel implementation that not extends AbstractChannel
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker.writeAndFlush(...) and the related
implementations.
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
- Related: #2163
- Add ResourceLeakHint to allow a user to provide a meaningful information about the leak when touching it
- DefaultChannelHandlerContext now implements ResourceLeakHint to tell where the message is going.
- Cleaner resource leak report by excluding noisy stack trace elements
- Proposed fix for #1824
UniqueName and its subtypes do not allow getting the previously registered instance. For example, let's assume that a user is running his/her application in an OSGi container with Netty bundles and his server bundle. Whenever the server bundle is reloaded, the server will try to create a new AttributeKey instance with the same name. However, Netty bundles were not reloaded at all, so AttributeKey will complain that the name is taken already (by the previously loaded bundle.)
To fix this problem:
- Replaced UniqueName with Constant, AbstractConstant, and ConstantPool. Better name and better design.
- Sctp/Udt/RxtxChannelOption is not a ChannelOption anymore. They are just constant providers and ChannelOption is final now. It's because caching anything that's from outside of netty-transport will lead to ClassCastException on reload, because ChannelOption's constant pool will keep all option objects for reuse.
- Signal implements Constant because we can't ensure its uniqueness anymore by relying on the exception raised by UniqueName's constructor.
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
This is needed because of otherwise the JDK itself will do an extra ByteBuffer copy with it's own pool implementation. Even worth it will be done
multiple times if the ByteBuffer is always only partial written. With this change the copy is done inside of netty using it's own allocator and
only be done one time in all cases.
Introduce a new interface called MessageSizeEstimator. This can be specific per Channel (via ChannelConfig). The MessageSizeEstimator will be used to estimate for a message that should be written. The default implementation handles ByteBuf, ByteBufHolder and FileRegion. A user is free to plug-in his/her own implementation for different behaviour.
