Motivation:
SnappyFrameDecoderTest has a few tests which fail to close the EmbeddedChannel
and therefore may leak ByteBuf objects.
Modifications:
- Make sure EmbeddedChannel#finishAndReleaseAll() is called in all tests
Result:
No more leaks from SnappyFrameDecoderTest.
Motivation:
We did not correctly close the `EmbeddedChannel` which would lead to not have `handlerRemoved(...)` called. This can lead to leaks. Beside this we also did not correctly consume produced data which could also show up as a leak.
Modifications:
- Always call `EmbeddedChannel.finish()`
- Ensure we consume all produced data and release it
Result:
No more leaks in test. This showed up in https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9850#issuecomment-562504863.
Motivation:
The buffer which the decoder allocates for the expansion can be
leaked if there is a subsequent issue writing to it.
Modifications:
The error handling has been improved so that the new buffer always
is released on failure in the expand.
Result:
The decoder will not leak in this scenario any more.
Fixes: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9812
Motivation:
Data flowing in from the decoder flows out in sequence，Whether decoder removed or not.
Modification:
fire data in out and clear out when hander removed
before call method handlerRemoved(ctx)
Result:
Fixes#9668 .
Motivation:
At the moment we do a ByteBuf.readBytes(...) on removal of the ByteToMessageDecoder if there are any bytes left and forward the returned ByteBuf to the next handler in the pipeline. This is not really needed as we can just forward the cumulation buffer directly and so eliminate the extra memory copy
Modifications:
Just forward the cumulation buffer directly on removal of the ByteToMessageDecoder
Result:
Less memory copies
Motivation:
We can use the `@SuppressJava6Requirement` annotation to be more precise about when we use Java6+ APIs. This helps us to ensure we always protect these places.
Modifications:
Make use of `@SuppressJava6Requirement` explicit
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2509.
Motivation:
In the current implementation of Base64 decoder an invalid
character `\u00BD` treated as `=`.
Also character `\u007F` leads to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modification:
Explicitly checks that all input bytes are ASCII characters
(greater than zero). Fix `decodabet` tables.
Result:
Correctly validation input bytes in Base64 decoder.
Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
There are is some unnecessary code (like toString() calls) which can be cleaned up.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed toString() calls
- Simplify subString(...) calls
- Remove some explicit casts when not needed.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
There is some manual coping of elements of Collections which can be replaced by Collections.addAll(...) and also some unnecessary semicolons.
Modifications:
- Simplify branches
- Use Collections.addAll
- Code cleanup
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder only looks at the last channelRead() in the batch
of channelRead()-s when determining whether or not it should call
ChannelHandlerContext#read() to consume more data when !isAutoRead. This
will lead to read() calls issued unnecessaily and unprompted if the very
last channelRead() didn't result in at least one decoded message, even
if there have been messages decoded from other channelRead()-s in the
current batch.
Modifications:
Track decode outcomes for the entire batch of channelRead() calls and
only issue a read in BTMD if the entire batch of channelRead() calls
yielded no complete messages.
Result:
ByteToMessageDecoder will no longer overread when the very last read
yielded no message, but the batch of reads did.
Motivation:
Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder in their default configuration use
an extremely inefficient way to checksum direct byte buffers. In
particular, for every byte checksummed, a single-element byte array is
being allocated and a JNI cal is made, which in some internal testing
makes a 25x difference in total throughput and allocates *a lot* of
garbage.
Modifications:
Lz4XXHash32, an implementation of ByteBufChecksum specifically for use
by Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder, is introduced. It utilises
xxHash32 block API which provides a hash() method that accepts a
ByteBuffer as an argument. Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder are
modified to use this implementation by default.
Result:
Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder perform well again when operating
on direct byte buffers with default checksum configuration; a public
implementation is provided for those who need to override the seed.
Motivation:
ReflectiveByteBufChecksum#update(buf, off, len) ignores provided offset
and length arguments when operating on direct buffers, leading to wrong
byte sequences being checksummed and ultimately incorrect checksum
values (unless checksumming the entire buffer).
Modifications:
Use the provided offset and length arguments to get the correct nio
buffer to checksum; add test coverage exercising the four meaningfully
different offset and length combinations.
Result:
Offset and length are respected and a correct checksum gets calculated;
simple unit test should prevent regressions in the future.
Motivation:
Because of a simple bug in ByteBufChecksum#updateByteBuffer(Checksum),
ReflectiveByteBufChecksum is never used for CRC32 and Adler32, resulting
in direct ByteBuffers being checksummed byte by byte, which is
undesriable.
Modification:
Fix ByteBufChecksum#updateByteBuffer(Checksum) method to pass the
correct argument to Method#invoke(Checksum, ByteBuffer).
Result:
ReflectiveByteBufChecksum will now be used for Adler32 and CRC32 on
Java8+ and direct ByteBuffers will no longer be checksummed on slow
byte-by-byte basis.
Motivation:
It is valid to use null as sender so we should support it when DatagramPacketEncoder checks if it supports the message.
Modifications:
- Add null check
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9199.
Motivation:
At the moment ByteToMessageDecoder always calls fireChannelReadComplete() when the handler is removed from the pipeline and the cumulation buffer is not null. We should only call it when we also call fireChannelRead(...), which only happens if the cumulation buffer is not null and readable.
Modifications:
Only call fireChannelReadComplete() if fireChannelRead(...) is called before during removal of the handler.
Result:
More correct semantics
Motivation
Pipeline handlers are free to "take control" of input buffers if they have singular refcount - in particular to mutate their raw data if non-readonly via discarding of read bytes, etc.
However there are various places (primarily unit tests) where a wrapped byte-array buffer is passed in and the wrapped array is assumed not to change (used after the wrapped buffer is passed to EmbeddedChannel.writeInbound()). This invalid assumption could result in unexpected errors, such as those exposed by #8931.
Modifications
Anywhere that the data passed to writeInbound() might be used again, ensure that either:
- A copy is used rather than wrapping a shared byte array, or
- The buffer is otherwise protected from modification by making it read-only
For the tests, copying is preferred since it still allows the "mutating" optimizations to be exercised.
Results
Avoid possible errors when pipeline assumes it has full control of input buffer.
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:
DefaultHeaders entries maintains two linked lists. 1 for overall insertion order
and 1 for "in bucket" order. DefaultHeaders#valueIterator removal (introduced in 1d9090aab2) only reliably
removes the entry from the overall insertion order, but may not remove from the
bucket unless the element is the first entry.
Modifications:
- DefaultHeaders$ValueIterator should track 2 elements behind the next entry so
that the single linked "in bucket" list can be patched up when removing the
previous entry.
Result:
More correct DefaultHeaders#valueIterator removal.
Motivation:
While iterating values it is often desirable to be able to remove individual
entries. The existing mechanism to do this involves removal of all entries and
conditional re-insertion which is heavy weight in order to remove a single
value.
Modifications:
- DefaultHeaders$ValueIterator supports removal
Result:
It is possible to remove entries while iterating the values in DefaultHeaders.
Motivation:
32563bfcc1 introduced a regression in which we did now not longer discard the messages after we handled an oversized message.
Modifications:
- Do not set aggregating to false after handleOversizedMessage is called
- Adjust unit tests to verify the behaviour is correct again.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9007.
Motivation:
PromiseCombiner is not thread-safe and even assumes all added Futures are using the same EventExecutor. This is kind of fragile as we do not enforce this. We need to enforce this contract to ensure it's safe to use and easy to spot concurrency problems.
Modifications:
- Add new contructor to PromiseCombiner that takes an EventExecutor and deprecate the old non-arg constructor.
- Check if methods are called from within the EventExecutor thread and if not fail
- Correctly dispatch on the right EventExecutor if the Future uses a different EventExecutor to eliminate concurrency issues.
Result:
More safe use of PromiseCombiner + enforce correct usage / contract.
Motivation:
Just was looking through code and found 1 interesting place DateFormatter.tryParseMonth that was not very effective, so I decided to optimize it a bit.
Modification:
Changed DateFormatter.tryParseMonth method. Instead of invocation regionMatch() for every month - compare chars one by one.
Result:
DateFormatter.parseHttpDate method performance improved from ~3% to ~15%.

Motivation
Implementations of MessageAggregator (HttpObjectAggregator in particular) may wish to
selectively aggrerage requests and responses on a case-by-case basis such as for example
only POST requests or only responses of a certain content-type.
Modifications
Adding a flag to MessageAggregator that toggles between true/false depending on if aggregation
is desired for the current message or not.
Result
Fixes#8772
Motivation:
We have a utility method to check for > 0 and >0 arguments. We should use it.
Modification:
use checkPositive/checkPositiveOrZero instead of if statement.
Result:
Re-use utility method.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
Motivation:
LineBasedFrameDecoder, JsonObjectDecoder and XmlFrameDecoder upon investigation of the
sourcecode appeared to only support ASCII or UTF-8 input. It is an important characteristic
and ont reflected in any documentation. This could lead to improper usage and bugs.
Modifications:
Javadoc comment is addedd to all three classes to state that implementation is only
compatible with UTF-8 or ASCII input streams and brifly touches on implementaion details.
Result:
The end user of the netty library would not have to study sorcecode to deterime character
encoding limitations for given classes.
Motivation:
We had some typo (most likely caused by copy-and-paste) in the api docs which should be fixed.
Modifications:
Replace encoder by decoder word.
Result:
Correct apidocs.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
If the encoder needs to flush more than one outbound message it will
create a new ChannelPromise for all but the last write which will
swallow failures.
Modification:
Use a PromiseCombiner in the case of multiple messages and the parent
promise isn't the `VoidPromise`.
Result:
Intermediate failures are propagated to the original ChannelPromise.
Motivation:
There are currently many more places where this could be used which were
possibly not considered when the method was added.
If https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8388 is included in its current
form, a number of these places could additionally make use of the same
BYTE_ARRAYS threadlocal.
There's also a couple of adjacent places where an optimistically-pooled
heap buffer is used for temp byte storage which could use the
threadlocal too in preference to allocating a temp heap bytebuf wrapper.
For example
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/buffer/src/main/java/io/netty/buffer/ByteBufUtil.java#L1417.
Modifications:
Replace new byte[] with PlatformDependent.allocateUninitializedArray()
where appropriate; make use of ByteBufUtil.getBytes() in some places
which currently perform the equivalent logic, including avoiding copy of
backing array if possible (although would be rare).
Result:
Further potential speed-up with java9+ and appropriate compile flags.
Many of these places could be on latency-sensitive code paths.
* Optimize AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() in US_ASCII case
Motivation:
Inspired by https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8388, I noticed this
simple optimization to avoid char[] allocation (also suggested in a TODO
here).
Modifications:
Return an AsciiString from AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() if
requested charset is US_ASCII or ISO_8859_1 (latter thanks to
@Scottmitch's suggestion). Also tweak unit tests not to require Strings
and include a new benchmark to demonstrate the speedup.
Result:
Speed-up of AbstractByteBuf.getCharSequence() in ascii and iso 8859/1
cases
Motivation:
We need to ensure the Cumulator always releases the input buffer if it can not take over the ownership of it as otherwise it may leak.
Modifications:
- Correctly ensure the buffer is always released.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Ensure buffer is always released.
Motivation:
In theory our estimation of the needed buffer could be off and so we need to ensure we grow it if there is no space left.
Modifications:
Ensure we grow the buffer if there is no space left in there but we still have data to deflate.
Result:
Correctly deflate data in all cases.
Motivation:
We need to reset the offset to 0 when we fail lazy because of a too long frame.
Modifications:
- Reset offset
- Add testcase
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8256.
Motivation:
The implementation of CharSequenceValueConverter.convertToByte did not correctly handle AsciiString if the length != 1.
Modifications:
- Only use fast-path for AsciiString with length of 1.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7990
Motivation:
We did not correctly copy elements in some cases when add(index, element) was used.
Modifications:
- Correctly detect when copy is neede and when not.
- Add test case.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7938.
Motivation:
Some `if` statements contains common parts that can be extracted.
Modifications:
Extract common parts from `if` statements.
Result:
Less code and bytecode. The code is simpler and more clear.
Motivation:
When the JsonObjectDecoder determines that the incoming buffer had some data discarded, it resets the internal index to readerIndex and attempts to adjust the state which does not correctly work for streams of JSON objects.
Modifications:
Reset the internal index to the value considering the previous reads.
Result:
JsonObjectDecoder correctly handles streams of both JSON objects and arrays with no state adjustments or repeatable reads.
Motivation:
6e5fd9311f fixed a bug in EmptyHeaders which was never noticed before because we had no tests.
Modifications:
Add tests for EmptyHeaders.
Result:
EmptyHeaders is tested now.
Motivation:
EmptyHeaders#get with a default value argument returns null. It should never return null, and instead it should return the default value.
Modifications:
- EmptyHeaders#get with a default value should return that default value
Result:
More correct implementation of the Headers API.
Motivation:
The Snappy decoder was failing on valid inputs containing literals
with 2-byte lengths > 0x8000 or copies with 2-byte offsets >= 0x8000.
The decoder was also enforcing an artificially low offset limit of
0x7FFF, something the Snappy format description advises against,
and which prevents decoding valid inputs generated by other encoders.
Modifications:
Interpret 2-byte literal lengths and 2-byte copy offsets as unsigned
shorts, in accordance with the format description and reference
implementation.
Allow any positive offset value. Throw an appropriate exception
for negative values (which can theoretically occur due to arithmetic
overflow on 4-byte offsets, but are unlikely to occur in the wild).
Result:
The Snappy decoder can handle valid inputs that previously caused
it to throw exceptions.
Motivation:
CharSequenceValueConverter#convertToBoolean has a few manual conditionals which can be removed if we use AsciiString.contentEqualsIgnoreCase. Also by comparing an AsciiString to a String we will incur conversions to char that can be avoided if we compare against AsciiString.
Modifications:
- Use AsciiString.contentEqualsIgnoreCase
- Compare against a AsciiString
Result:
Simplified CharSequenceValueConverter#convertToBoolean which favors AsciiString comparison.
Motivation:
If you pass the output of CharSequenceValueConvert.convertToTimeMillis to convertTimeMillis it will throw a ParseException.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement CharSequenceValueConverter.convertTimeMillis
- Add unit-tests for CharSequenceValueConverter
Result:
Correctly convert timemillis.
Motivation:
HeaderEntry.equals() inherets Object.equals() which simply check if two objects are the same.
So it returns false even when two HeaderEntry objects have the same name and value.
Modifications:
Implement HeaderEntry.equals() that follows the specification of Map.Entry.equals().
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/util/Map.Entry.html#equals-java.lang.Object-
Result:
HeaderEntry.equals() returns true if two HeaderEntry objects have the same name and value.
Motivation:
HttpHeaders.getBoolean should return the same truth value for the same string value, regardless of the underlying type.
Modifications:
- Only treat values of true as Boolean.TRUE
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Consistent converting of values for all CharSequence implementations.
Motivation:
Headers.get* methods should not throw an exception but return null or the default value if converting of the value fails.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle the case when ValueConverter throws an Exception.
- Add testcase.
Result:
Fixes [#7710].
Motivation:
We used Recycler for the CodecOutputList which is not optimized for the use-case of access only from the same Thread all the time.
Modifications:
- Use FastThreadLocal for CodecOutputList
- Add benchmark
Result:
Less overhead in our codecs.
