Motivation:
The first final version of GraalVM was released which deprecated some flags. We should use the new ones.
Modifications:
Removes the use of deprecated GraalVM native-image flags
Adds a flag to initialize netty at build time.
Result:
Do not use deprecated flags
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:
Http2MultiplexCodec.DefaultHttp2StreamChannel currently only act on ClosedChannelException exceptions when checking for isAutoClose(). We should widen the scope here to IOException to be more consistent with AbstractChannel.
Modifications:
Replace instanceof ClosedChannelException with instanceof IOException
Result:
More consistent handling of isAutoClose()
Motivation:
GraalVM native images are a new way to deliver java applications. Netty is one of the most popular libraries however there are a few limitations that make it impossible to use with native images out of the box. Adding a few metadata (in specific modules will allow the compilation to success and produce working binaries)
Modification:
Added properties files in `META-INF` and substitutions classes (under `internal.svm`) will solve the compilation issues. The substitutions classes are not visible and do not have a public constructor so they are not visible to end users.
Result:
Fixes#8959
This fix is very conservative as it applies the minimum config required to build:
* pure netty servers
* vert.x applications
* grpc applications
The build is having trouble due to checkstyle which does not seem to be able to find the copyright notice on property files.
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) always runs the GOAWAY and graceful close
logic. This coupling means that a user would have to override
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) to modify the behavior, and the
Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec are not extendable so you cannot
override at this layer. Ideally we can totally decouple the close(..) of the
transport and the GOAWAY graceful closure process completely, but to preserve
backwards compatibility we can add an opt-out option to decouple where the
application is responsible for sending a GOAWAY with error code equal to
NO_ERROR as described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.8 in
order to initiate graceful close.
Modifications:
- Http2ConnectionHandler supports an additional boolean constructor argument to
opt out of close(..) going through the graceful close path.
- Http2FrameCodecBuilder and Http2MultiplexCodec expose
gracefulShutdownTimeoutMillis but do not hook them up properly. Since these
are already exposed we should hook them up and make sure the timeout is applied
properly.
- Http2ConnectionHandler's goAway(..) method from Http2LifecycleManager should
initiate the graceful closure process after writing a GOAWAY frame if the error
code is NO_ERROR. This means that writing a Http2GoAwayFrame from
Http2FrameCodec will initiate graceful close.
Result:
Http2ConnectionHandler#close(..) can now be decoupled from the graceful close
process, and immediately close the underlying transport if desired.
Motivation:
Http2FrameCodec currently fails the write promise associated with creating a
stream with a Http2NoMoreStreamIdsException. However this means the user code
will have to listen to all write futures in order to catch this scenario which
is the same as receiving a GOAWAY frame. We can also simulate receiving a GOAWAY
frame from our remote peer and that allows users to consolidate graceful close
logic in the GOAWAY processing.
Modifications:
- Http2FrameCodec should simulate a DefaultHttp2GoAwayFrame when trying to
create a stream but the stream IDs have been exhausted.
Result:
Applications can rely upon GOAWAY for graceful close processing instead of also
processing write futures.
Motivaiton:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder uses SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator to combine two
operations into a single future status. However it directly uses the
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator object instead of using the newPromise() method
in one case. This may result in premature completion of the aggregated future.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder to use
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator#newPromise() instead of directly using the
SimpleChannelPromiseAggregator instance when writing the settings ACK frame
Result:
More correct status for the SETTING ACK frame writing when auto settings ACK is
disabled.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 codec will synchronously respond to a SETTINGS frame with a SETTINGS
ACK before the application sees the SETTINGS frame. The application may need to
adjust its state depending upon what is in the SETTINGS frame before applying
the remote settings and responding with an ACK (e.g. to adjust for max
concurrent streams). In order to accomplish this the HTTP/2 codec should allow
for the application to opt-in to sending the SETTINGS ACK.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should support a mode where SETTINGS frames can
be queued instead of immediately applying and ACKing.
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder should attempt to poll from the queue (if it
exists) to apply the earliest received but not yet ACKed SETTINGS frame.
- AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder (and sub classes) should support a new
option to enable the application to opt-in to managing SETTINGS ACK.
Result:
HTTP/2 allows for asynchronous SETTINGS ACK managed by the application.
Motivation:
com.puppycrawl.tools checkstyle < 8.18 was reported to contain a possible security flaw. We should upgrade.
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-build and checkstyle.
- Fix checkstyle errors
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8968.
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:
When more than one connection header is present in h2c upgrade request, upgrade fails. This is to fix that.
Modification:
In HttpServerUpgradeHandler's upgrade() method, check whether any of the connection header value is upgrade, not just the first header value which might return a different value other than upgrade.
Result:
Fixes#8846.
With this PR, now when multiple connection headers are sent with the upgrade request, upgrade will not fail.
Motivation:
We can replace some "hand-rolled" integer checks with our own static utility method to simplify the code.
Modifications:
Use methods provided by `ObjectUtil`.
Result:
Cleaner code and less duplication
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:
When a write error happens during writing of flowcontrolled data frames we miss to correctly detect this in the write loop which may result in an infinite loop as we will never detect that the frame should be removed from the queue.
Modifications:
- When we fail a flowcontrolled data frame we ensure that the next frame.write(...) call will signal back that the whole frame was handled and so can be removed.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8707.
Motivation:
In Http2FrameCodec we made the incorrect assumption that we can only have 1 buffered outboundstream as maximum. This is not correct and we need to account for multiple buffered streams.
Modifications:
- Use a map to allow buffer multiple streams
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8692.
Motiviation:
Http2FrameCodecTest and Http2MultiplexCodecTest were quite fragile and often not went through the whole pipeline which made testing sometimes hard and error-prone.
Modification:
- Refactor tests to have data flow through the whole pipeline and so made the test more robust (by testing the while implementation).
Result:
Easier to write tests for the codecs in the future and more robust testing in general.
Beside this it also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6036.
Motivation:
We should always call ctx.read() even when AUTO_READ is false as flow-control is enforced by the HTTP/2 protocol.
See also https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-5.2.2.
We already did this before but not explicit and only did so because of some implementation details of ByteToMessageDecoder. It's better to be explicit here to not risk of breakage later on.
Modifications:
- Ensure we always call ctx.read() when AUTO_READ is false
- Add unit test.
Result:
No risk of staling the connection when HTTP/2 is used.
Motivation:
In windows if the project is in a path that contains whitespace,
resources cannot be accessed and tests fail.
Modifications:
Adds ResourcesUtil.java in netty-common. Tests use ResourcesUtil.java to access a resource.
Result:
Being able to build netty in a path containing whitespace
Motivation:
9f9aa1a did some changes related to fixing how we handle ctx.read() in child channel but did incorrectly change some assert.
Modifications:
Fix assert to be correct.
Result:
Code does not throw an AssertionError due incorrect assert check.
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:
We did not correct respect ctx.read() calls while processing a read for a child Channel. This could lead to read stales when auto read is disabled and no other read was requested.
Modifications:
- Keep track of extra read() calls while processing reads
- Add unit tests that verify that read() is respected when triggered either in channelRead(...) or channelReadComplete(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8209.
Motivation
DefaultHttp2FrameReader currently does a fair amount of "intermediate"
slicing which can be avoided.
Modifications
Avoid slicing the input buffer in DefaultHttp2FrameReader until
necessary. In one instance this also means retainedSlice can be used
instead (which may also avoid allocating).
Results
Less allocations when using http2.
Motivation:
When the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder writes the initial headers for a new
locally created stream we create the stream in the half-closed state if the
end-stream flag is set which signals to the life cycle manager that the headers
have been sent. However, if we synchronously fail to write the headers the
life cycle manager then sends a RST_STREAM on our behalf which is a connection
level PROTOCOL_ERROR because the peer sees the stream in an IDLE state.
Modification:
Don't open the stream in the half-closed state if the end-stream flag is
set and let the life cycle manager take care of it.
Result:
Cleaner state management in the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.
Fixes#8434.
Motivation:
The `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec` is marked `@Sharable` but mutates
an internal `HttpScheme` field every time it is added to a pipeline.
Modifications:
Instead of storing the `HttpScheme` in the handler we store it as an
attribute on the parent channel.
Result:
Fixes#8480.
Motivation:
There are log messages emitted from Http2ConnectionDecoder of the form
```
INF i.n.h.c.h.DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder ignoring HEADERS frame for stream RST_STREAM sent. {}
```
Modifications:
Remove the trailing `{}` in the log message that doesn't have a value.
Result:
Log messages no longer have a trailing `{}`.
Motivation:
When writing an HTTP/2 HEADERS with END_STREAM=1, the application expects
the stream to be closed afterward. However, the write can fail locally
due to HPACK encoder and similar. When that happens we need to make sure
to issue a RST_STREAM otherwise the stream can be closed locally but
orphaned remotely. The RST_STREAM is typically handled by
Http2ConnectionHandler.onStreamError, which will only send a RST_STREAM
if that stream still exists locally.
There are two possible flows for trailers, one handled immediately and
one going through the flow controller. Previously they behaved
differently, with the immedate code calling the error handler after
closing the stream. The immediate code also used a listener for calling
closeStreamLocal while the flow controlled code did so immediately after
the write.
The two code paths also differed in their VoidChannelPromise handling,
but both were broken. The immediate code path called unvoid() only if
END_STREAM=1, however it could always potentially add a listener via
notifyLifecycleManagerOnError(). And the flow controlled code path
unvoided incorrectly, changing the promise completion behavior. It also
passed the wrong promise to closeStreamLocal() in FlowControlledBase.
Modifications:
Move closeStreamLocal handling after calls to onError. This is the
primary change.
Now call closeStreamLocal immediately instead of when the future
completes. This is the more likely correct behavior as it matches that
of DATA frames.
Fix all the VoidChannelPromise handling.
Result:
Http2ConnectionHandler.onStreamError sees the same state as the remote
and issues a RST_STREAM, properly cleaning up the stream.
Motivation:
Http2MultiplexCodec queues data internally if data is delivered from the
parent channel but the child channel did not request data. If the parent
channel notifies of a stream closure it is possible data in the queue
will be discarded before closing the channel.
Http2MultiplexCodec interacts with RecvByteBufAllocator to control the
child channel's demand for read. However it currently only ever reads a
maximum of one time per loop. This can thrash the read loop and bloat
the call stack if auto read is on, because channelReadComplete will
re-enter the read loop synchronously, and also neglect to deliver data
during the parent's read loop (if it is active). This also meant the
readPendingQueue was not utilized as originally intended (to extend the
child channel's read loop during the parent channel's read loop if
demand for data still existed).
Modifications:
- Modify the child channel's read loop to respect the
RecvByteBufAllocator, and append to the parents readPendingQueue if
appropriate.
- Stream closure notification behaves like EPOLL and KQUEUE transports
and reads all queued data, because the data is already queued in memory
and it is known there will be no more data. This will also replenish the
connection flow control window which may otherwise be constrained by a
closed stream.
Result:
More correct read loop and less risk of dropping data.
