Motivation:
Modern versions of FreeBSD define IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR, but don't define
SOL_IP. This causes the build to fail.
Modifications:
The equivalent to SOL_IP on FreeBSD is IPPROTO_IP. Define SOL_IP as that
if SOL_IP is not defined and IPPROTO_IP is.
Result:
This allows a successful build on FreeBSD
Motivation:
On MacOS it is not really good enough to check /etc/resolv.conf to determine the nameservers to use. We should retrieve the nameservers using the same way as mDNSResponser and chromium does by doing a JNI call.
Modifications:
Add MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider and testcase
Result:
Use correct nameservers by default on MacOS.
Motivation:
We would like to enable Netty also on a big endian platform such as
s390_64. We need to fix a function which assumes that the target
platform is little endian.
Modifications:
Modify netty_unix_socket_accept() to write an address length as jbyte
instead of jsize.
Result:
Netty can be enabled on a big endian platform.

Motivation:
At the moment we not consistently (and also not correctly) free allocated native memory in all cases during loading the JNI library. This can lead to native memory leaks in the unlikely case of failure while trying to load the library.
Beside this we also not always correctly handle the case when a new java object can not be created in native code because of out of memory.
Modification:
- Copy some macros from netty-tcnative to be able to handle errors in a more easy fashion
- Correctly account for New* functions to return NULL
- Share code
Result:
More robust and clean JNI code
Motivation:
291f80733a introduced a change to use a byte[] to construct the InetAddress when receiving datagram messages to reduce the overhead. Unfortunally it introduced a regression when handling IPv6-mapped-IPv4 addresses and so produced an IndexOutOfBoundsException when trying to fill the byte[] in native code.
Modifications:
- Correctly use the offset on the pointer of the address.
- Add testcase
- Make tests more robust and include more details when the test fails
Result:
No more IndexOutOfBoundsException
Motivation:
394a1b3485 introduced the possibility to use recvmmsg(...) but did not correctly handle ipv6 mapped ip4 addresses to make it consistent with other transports.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses by only copy over the relevant bytes
- Small improvement on how to detect ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses by using memcmp and not byte by byte compare
- Adjust test to cover this bug
Result:
Correctly handle ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses
Motivation:
When using datagram sockets which need to handle a lot of packets it makes sense to use recvmmsg to be able to read multiple datagram packets with one syscall.
Modifications:
- Add support for recvmmsg on linux
- Add new EpollChannelOption.MAX_DATAGRAM_PACKET_SIZE
- Add tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8446.
Motivation:
At the moment we use the String representation of the IP to create the DatagramSocketAddress. This is not for free and we should better use the byte[] directly to reduce the overhead of parsing the String (and creating it in the first place)
Modifications:
Directly use byte[] as input for the DatagramSocketAddress
Result:
Less overhead when using Datagrams with native transports
Motivation:
We should not only include the java source files but also the c source file in our source jars.
Modifications:
Add files from src/main/c as well
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9494
Motivation:
Provide epoll/native multicast to support high load multicast users (we are using it for a high load telecomm app at my day job).
Modification:
Added support for source specific and any source multicast for epoll transport. Some caveats: no support for disabling loop back mode, retrieval of interface and block operation, all of which tend to be less frequently used.
Result:
Provides epoll transport multicast for common use cases.

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:
When kevent(...) returns with EINTR we do not correctly decrement the timespec
structure contents to account for the time duration. This may lead to negative
values for tv_nsec which will result in an EINVAL and raise an IOException to
the event loop selection loop.
Modifications:
Correctly calculate new timeoutTs when EINTR is detected
Result:
Fixes#9013.
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:
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
* Allow to use native transports when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system
Motivation:
We should be able to use the native transports (epoll / kqueue) even when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system. This is especially important as Java11 will be released soon and does not allow access to it by default.
Modifications:
- Correctly disable usage of sun.misc.Unsafe when -PnoUnsafe is used while running the build
- Correctly increment metric when UnpooledDirectByteBuf is allocated. This was uncovered once -PnoUnsafe usage was fixed.
- Implement fallbacks in all our native transport code for when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8229.
Motivation:
We should support to load multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact as netty is often used in multiple dependencies.
This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7272.
Modifications:
- Use -fvisibility=hidden when compiling and use JNIEXPORT for things we really want to have exported
- Ensure fields are declared as static so these are not exported
- Adjust testsuite-shading to use install_name_tool on MacOS to change the id of the lib. Otherwise the wrong may be used.
Result:
Be able to use multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact.
Motivation:
netty_unix_socket attempts to use nettyClassName in an error message, but previously freed the memory. We should wait to free the memory until after we use it.
Modifications:
- Free nettyClassName after using it in snprintf
Result:
More useful error message.
Motivation:
b818852cdb broke support for shading the native libraries in netty as it missed to respect the package prefix that is used when shading.
Modifications:
Correctly respect package prefix for constructor argument and include the used classname when logging that we could not find the constructor.
Result:
Be able to shade native libraries of netty again.
Motivation:
b818852cdb added support for IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR but did not include any #ifdef statements to ensure its usable at all (which is not the case on MacOS).
Modifications:
Add #ifdef statements to check for IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR.
Result:
Compilation works again on MacOS.
Motivation:
DatagramPacket.recipient() doesn't return the actual destination IP, but the IP the app is bound to.
Modification:
- IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR option is enabled for UDP sockets, which allows retrieval of ancillary information containing the original recipient.
- _recvFrom(...) function from transport-native-unix-common/src/main/c/netty_unix_socket.c is modified such that if IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR is set, recvmsg is used instead of recvfrom; enabling the retrieval of the original recipient.
- DatagramSocketAddress also contains a 'local' address, representing the recipient.
- EpollDatagramChannel is updated to return the retrieved recipient address instead of the address the channel is bound to.
Result:
Fixes#4950.
Motivation:
If close(...) reports EINTR there is nothing sane we can do so it makes no sense to even report it. See also:
https://github.com/apple/swift-nio/pull/217
Modifications:
Just ignore EINTR when calling close(...)
Result:
Less noise in the logs.
Motivation:
We currently not check if the buffer has a memory address and just assume this is the case if the nioBufferCount() == 1.
Modifications:
- Check hasMemoryAddress() before trying to access it.
- Add unit case.
Result:
More correct and robust code. Related to [#7752].
Motivation:
IovArray implements MessageProcessor, and the processMessage method will continue to be called during iteration until it returns true. A recent commit b215794de3 changed the return value to only return true if any component of a CompositeByteBuf was added as a result of the method call. However this results in the iteration continuing, and potentially subsequent smaller buffers maybe added, which will result in out of order writes and generally corrupts data.
Modifications:
- IovArray#add should return false so that the MessageProcessor#processMessage will stop iterating.
Result:
Native transports which use IovArray will not corrupt data during gathering writes of CompositeByteBuf objects.
Motivation:
FileDescriptor#writev calls JNI code, and that JNI code dereferences a NULL pointer which crashes the application. This occurs when writing a single CompositeByteBuf object with more than one component.
Modifications:
- Initialize the iovec iterator properly to avoid the core dump
- Fix the array length calculation if we aren't able to fit all the ByteBuffer objects in the iovec array
Result:
No more core dump.
Motivation:
The writeSpinCount currently loops over the same buffer, gathering
write, file write, or other write operation multiple times but will
continue writing until there is nothing left or the OS doesn't accept
any data for that specific write. However if the OS keeps accepting
writes there is no way to limit how much time we spend on a specific
socket. This can lead to unfair consumption of resources dedicated to a
single socket.
We currently don't limit the amount of bytes we attempt to write per
gathering write. If there are many more bytes pending relative to the
SO_SNDBUF size we will end up building iov arrays with more elements
than can be written, which results in extra iteration, conditionals,
and book keeping.
Modifications:
- writeSpinCount should limit the number of system calls we make to
write data, instead of applying to individual write operations
- IovArray should support a maximum number of bytes
- IovArray should support composite buffers of greater than size 1024
- We should auto-scale the amount of data that we attempt to write per
gathering write operation relative to SO_SNDBUF and how much data is
successfully written
- The non-unsafe path should also support a maximum number of bytes,
and respect the IOV_MAX limit
Result:
Write resource consumption can be bounded and gathering writes have
a limit relative to the amount of data which can actually be accepted
by the socket.
Motivation:
We used NetUtil.isIpV4StackPreferred() when loading JNI code which tries to load NetworkInterface in its static initializer. Unfortunally a lock on the NetworkInterface class init may be already hold somewhere else which may cause a loader deadlock.
Modifications:
Add a new Socket.initialize() method that will be called when init the library and pass everything needed to the JNI level so we not need to call back to java.
Result:
Fixes [#7458].
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
Exception handling is nicer when a more specific Exception is thrown
Modification:
Add a static reference for ENOENT, and throw FNFE if it is returned
Result:
More precise exception handling
Motivation:
To better isolate OS system calls we should not call getsockopt directly but use our netty_unix_socket_getOption0 function. See is a followup of f115bf5.
Modifications:
Export netty_unix_socket_getOption0 by declaring it in the header file and use it
Result:
Better isolation of system calls.
Motivation:
If a user calls EpollSocketChannelConfig.getOptions() and TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT is not supported we throw an exception.
Modifications:
- Just return 0 if ENOPROTOOPT is set.
- Add testcase
Result:
getOptions() works as epxected.
Motivation:
We tried to set IPV6 opts on an ipv4 only system and so failed to set / get the traffic opts. This resulted in a test-error when trying to compile netty on ipv4 only systems.
Modifications:
Use the correct opts depending on if the system is ipv4 only or not.
Result:
Be able to build and use on ipv4 only systems.
Motivation:
We should try to bind to an ipv6 only socket before we enable ipv6 support in the native transport as it may not work due setup of the platform.
Modifications:
Try to bind to ::1 use IPV6 later on if this works
Result:
Fixes [#7021].
Motivation:
At the moment we try to load the library using multiple names which includes names using - but also _ . We should just use _ all the time.
Modifications:
Replace - with _
Result:
Fixes [#7069]
Motivation:
We did not correctly handle connect() and disconnect() in EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel and so the behavior was different compared to NioDatagramChannel.
Modifications:
- Correct implement connect and disconnect methods
- Share connect and related code
- Add tests
Result:
EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel also supports correctly connect() and disconnect() methods.
