Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder requires using an intermediate List to put results into. This intermediate list adds overhead (memory/CPU) which grows as the number of objects increases. This overhead can be avoided by directly propagating events through the ChannelPipeline via ctx.fireChannelRead(...). This also makes the semantics more clear and allows us to keep track if we need to call ctx.read() in all cases.
Modifications:
- Remove List from the method signature of ByteToMessageDecoder.decode(...) and decodeLast(...)
- Adjust all sub-classes
- Adjust unit tests
- Fix javadocs.
Result:
Adjust ByteToMessageDecoder as noted in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8525.
Motivation:
We should use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as we require java8
Modifications:
Replace ObjectUtil.checkNonNull(...) with Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
At the moment our AbstractSniHandler makes the assemption that Handshake messages are not fragmented. This is incorrect as it is completely valid to split these across multiple TLSPlaintext records.
Thanks to @sskrobotov for bringing this to my attentation and to @Lukasa for the help.
Modifications:
- Adjust logic in AbstractSniHandler to handle fragmentation
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly handle fragmented Handshake message in AbstractSniHandler (and so SniHandler).
Motivation:
This is a PR to solve the problem described here: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9767
Basically this PR is to add two more APIs in SslContextBuilder, for users to directly specify
the KeyManager or TrustManager they want to use when building SslContext. This is very helpful
when users want to pass in some customized implementation of KeyManager or TrustManager.
Modification:
This PR takes the first approach in here:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9767#issuecomment-551927994 (comment)
which is to immediately convert the managers into factories and let factories continue to pass
through Netty.
1. Add in SslContextBuilder the two APIs mentioned above
2. Create a KeyManagerFactoryWrapper and a TrustManagerFactoryWrapper, which take a KeyManager
and a TrustManager respectively. These are two simple wrappers that do the conversion from
XXXManager class to XXXManagerFactory class
3.Create a SimpleKeyManagerFactory class(and internally X509KeyManagerWrapper for compatibility),
which hides the unnecessary details such as KeyManagerFactorySpi. This serves the similar
functionalities with SimpleTrustManagerFactory, which was already inside Netty.
Result:
Easier usage.
Motivation:
MINIMAL_WAIT is the key constant. Thus, When we see the constant, we must read more code logic to see if it is ms or ns. So improving java doc will be better.
Modifications:
Improve java doc by add "10ms" such as DEFAULT_CHECK_INTERVAL with "1s".
Result:
Easy to know it is ms and keep same java doc style with other constants such as DEFAULT_CHECK_INTERVAL.
Motivation:
sun.security.ssl.X509KeyManagerImpl will not use "stable" aliases and so aliases may be changed during invocations. This means caching is useless. Because of this we should disable the cache if its used.
Modifications:
- Disable caching if sun.security.ssl.X509KeyManagerImpl is used
- Add tests
Result:
More protection against https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9747.
Motivation:
At the moment te cache is not bound and so lead to huge memory consumpation. We should ensure its bound by default.
Modifications:
Ensure cache is bound
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9747.
Motivation
Per javadoc in 4.1.x SimpleChannelInboundHandler:
"Please keep in mind that channelRead0(ChannelHandlerContext, I) will be
renamed to messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext, I) in 5.0."
Modifications
Rename aforementioned method and all references/overrides.
Result
Method is renamed.
Motivation:
Easier to debug SelfSignedCertificate failures.
Modifications:
Add first throwable as suppressed to thrown exception.
Result:
Less technical debt.
Motivation:
At the moment we directly extend the Recycler base class in our code which makes it hard to experiment with different Object pool implementation. It would be nice to be able to switch from one to another by using a system property in the future. This would also allow to more easily test things like https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8052.
Modifications:
- Introduce ObjectPool class with static method that we now use internally to obtain an ObjectPool implementation.
- Wrap the Recycler into an ObjectPool and return it for now
Result:
Preparation for different ObjectPool implementations
Motivation:
It is common, especially in frameworks, for the parameters to `SslContextBuilder` methods to be built up as a `List` or similar `Iterable`. It is currently difficult to use `SslContextBuilder` in this case because it requires a conversion to array.
Modification:
Add overloads for methods that accept varargs to also accept `Iterable`, delegating by copying into an array.
Result:
Fixes#9293
Motivation:
Netty should respect JVM flags to control SSL protocols, eg. `-Djdk.tls.client.protocols`
Modification:
Changed `JdkSslContext` to use `SSLContext.getDefaultSSLParameters().getProtocols()` instead of `engine.getSupportedProtocols()` which is hardcoded as `SSLv2Hello, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2`.
Result:
Without `-Djdk.tls.client.protocols`, `SSLContext.getDefaultSSLParameters().getProtocols()` returns `TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2`.
With `-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2`, `SSLContext.getDefaultSSLParameters().getProtocols()` returns `TLSv1.2`.
Fixes#9706
Motivation:
In PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9695 IdleStateEvents
were made to cache their string representation. The reason for this
was to avoid creating garbage as these values would be used frequently.
However, these objects may be used on multiple event loops and this
may cause an unexpected race to occur.
Modification:
Only make the events that Netty creates cache their toString representation.
Result:
No races.
Motivation:
We should aim to always use heap buffers when using the JDK SSLEngine for now as it wants to operate on byte[] and so will do internal memory copies if a non heap buffer is used. Beside this it will always return BUFFER_OVERFLOW when a smaller buffer then 16kb is used when calling wrap(...) (even if a very small amount of bytes should be encrypted). This can lead to excercive direct memory usage and pressure for no good reason.
Modifications:
Refactor internals of SslHandler to ensure we use heap buffers for the JDK SSLEngine impelementation
Result:
Less direct memory usage when JDK SSLEngine implementation is used
FlowControllerHandler currently may swell read-complete events in some situations.
* Fire read-complete event from flow controller, when it previously was swallowed
* New unit test to cover this case
Fixes#9667: FlowControllerHandler swallows read-complete event when auto-read is disabled
IdleStateEvent is very convenient and frequently used type of events. However both in runtime (logs) and in debug you need some manual steps to see their actual content. Default implementation generates worthless trash like this:
io.netty.handler.timeout.IdleStateEvent@27f674d
There are examples already, where event has convenient and useful toString implementation:
* io.netty.handler.proxy.ProxyConnectionEvent
* io.netty.handler.ssl.SslCompletionEvent
* Implement 'IdleStateEvent.toString' method.
* Unit test.
More useful String representation of IdleStateEvent
Motivation:
We have a public utility `OpenSsl.isAlpnSupported()` that helps users to
check if ALPN is available for `SslProvider.OPENSSL`. However, we do not
provide a similar utility for `SslProvider.JDK`. Therefore, users who
configured ALPN with `SslProvider.JDK` will get a runtime exception at
the time when a new connection will be created.
Modifications:
- Add public `SslProvider.isAlpnSupported(SslProvider)` utility method
that returns `true` if the `SslProvider` supports ALPN;
- Deprecate `OpenSsl.isAlpnSupported()`;
Result:
Users can verify if their environment supports ALPN with
`SslProvider` upfront (at bootstrap), instead of failing with
runtime exception when a new connection will be created.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to be able to set attributes on a SslContext.
Modifications:
Add new method that will return a AttributeMap that is tied to a SslContext instance
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6542.
Motivation:
There is not need to use a CAS as everything is synchronized anyway. We can simplify the code a bit by not using it.
Modifications:
- Just remove the CAS operation
- Change from int to boolean
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
Currently when the SslHandler coalesces outbound bytes it always
allocates a direct byte buffer. This does not make sense if the JDK
engine is being used as the bytes will have to be copied back to heap
bytes for the engine to operate on them.
Modifications:
Inspect engine type when coalescing outbound bytes and allocate heap
buffer if heap bytes are preferred by the engine.
Result:
Improved performance for JDK engine. Better performance in environments
without direct buffer pooling.
Motivation:
031c2e2e88 introduced some change to reduce the risk of have the `ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext` be destroyed while the `ReferenceCountedSslEngine` is still in us. Unfortunaly it missed to adjust a few tests which make assumptions about the refCnt of the context.
Modifications:
Adjust tests to take new semenatics into acount.
Result:
No more tests failures
Motivation:
With the Netty ref-counted OpenSSL implementation the parent SslContext
maintains state necessary for the SslEngine's it produces. However, it's
possible for the parent context to be closed and release those resources
before the child engines are finished which causes problems.
Modification:
Spawned ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine's retain a reference to their
parent ReferenceCountedOpenSslContext.
Result:
The lifetime of the shared data is extended to include the lifetime of
the dependents.
Motiviation:
A lot of reentrancy bugs and cycles can happen because the DefaultPromise will notify the FutureListener directly when completely in the calling Thread if the Thread is the EventExecutor Thread. To reduce the risk of this we should always notify the listeners via the EventExecutor which basically means that we will put a task into the taskqueue of the EventExecutor and pick it up for execution after the setSuccess / setFailure methods complete the promise.
Modifications:
- Always notify via the EventExecutor
- Adjust test to ensure we correctly account for this
- Adjust tests that use the EmbeddedChannel to ensure we execute the scheduled work.
Result:
Reentrancy bugs related to the FutureListeners cant happen anymore.
Motivation:
Users can reuse the same FileChannel for different ChunkedNioFile
instances without being worried that FileChannel::position will be
changed concurrently by them.
In addition, FileChannel::read with absolute position allows to
use on *nix pread that is more efficient then fread.
Modifications:
Always use absolute FileChannel::read ops
Result:
Faster and more flexible uses of FileChannel for ChunkedNioFile
Motivation:
Due some bug we did endup with ClassCastExceptions in some cases. Beside this we also did not correctly handle the case when ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngineTest did produce tasks to run in on test.
Modifications:
- Correctly unwrap the engine before to fix ClassCastExceptions
- Run delegated tasks when needed.
Result:
All tests pass with different OpenSSL implementations (OpenSSL, BoringSSL etc)
Motivation:
SystemPropertyUtil already uses the AccessController internally so not need to wrap its usage with AccessController as well.
Modifications:
Remove explicit AccessController usage when SystemPropertyUtil is used.
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
We did not correctly handle taskoffloading when using BoringSSL / OpenSSL. This could lead to the situation that we did not write the SSL alert out for the remote peer before closing the connection.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle exceptions when we resume processing on the EventLoop after the task was offloadded
- Ensure we call SSL.doHandshake(...) to flush the alert out to the outboundbuffer when an handshake exception was detected
- Correctly signal back the need to call WRAP again when a handshake exception is pending. This will ensure we flush out the alert in all cases.
Result:
No more failures when task offloading is used.
Motivation:
When using io.netty.handler.ssl.openssl.useTasks=true we may call ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine.setKeyMaterial(...) from another thread and so need to synchronize and also check if the engine was destroyed in the meantime to eliminate of the possibility of a native crash.
The same is try when trying to access the authentication methods.
Modification:
- Add synchronized and isDestroyed() checks where missing
- Add null checks for the case when a callback is executed by another thread after the engine was destroyed already
- Move code for master key extraction to ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine to ensure there can be no races.
Result:
No native crash possible anymore when using io.netty.handler.ssl.openssl.useTasks=true
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to build netty on a power 8 systems.
Modifications:
- Improve detection of the possibility of using Conscrypt
- Skip testsuite-shading when not on x86_64 as this is the only platform for which we build tcnative atm
- Only include classifier if on x86_64 for tcnative as dependency as this is the only platform for which we build tcnative atm
- Better detect if UDT test can be run
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9479
Motivation:
The java doc doesn't match the real case: The exception only happen when a write operation
cannot finish in a certain period of time instead of write idle happen.
Modification:
Correct java doc
Result:
java doc matched the real case
Motiviation:
EmbeddedChannel currently is quite differently in terms of semantics to other Channel implementations. We should better change it to be more closely aligned and so have the testing code be more robust.
Modifications:
- Change EmbeddedEventLoop.inEventLoop() to only return true if we currenlty run pending / scheduled tasks
- Change EmbeddedEventLoop.execute(...) to automatically process pending tasks if not already doing so
- Adjust a few tests for the new semantics (which is closer to other Channel implementations)
Result:
EmbeddedChannel works more like other Channel implementations
Motivation:
There are some extra log level checks (logger.isWarnEnabled()).
Modification:
Remove log level checks (logger.isWarnEnabled()) from io.netty.channel.epoll.AbstractEpollStreamChannel, io.netty.channel.DefaultFileRegion, io.netty.channel.nio.AbstractNioChannel, io.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer, io.netty.handler.stream.ChunkedWriteHandler and io.netty.channel.udt.nio.NioUdtMessageConnectorChannel
Result:
Fixes#9456
Motivation:
The Netty classes are initialized at build time by default for GraalVM Native Image compilation. This is configured via the `--initialize-at-build-time=io.netty` option. While this reduces start-up time it can lead to some problems:
- The class initializer of `io.netty.buffer.PooledByteBufAllocator` looks at the maximum memory size to compute the size of internal buffers. If the class initializer runs during image generation, then the buffers are sized according to the very large heap size that the image generator uses, and Netty allocates several arrays that are 16 MByte. The fix is to initialize the following 3 classes at run time: `io.netty.buffer.PooledByteBufAllocator,io.netty.buffer.ByteBufAllocator,io.netty.buffer.ByteBufUtil`. This fix was dependent on a GraalVM Native Image fix that was included in 19.2.0.
- The class initializer of `io.netty.handler.ssl.util.ThreadLocalInsecureRandom` needs to be initialized at runtime to ensure that the generated values are trully random and not fixed for each generated image.
- The class initializers of `io.netty.buffer.AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf` and `io.netty.util.AbstractReferenceCounted` compute field offsets. While the field offset recomputation is necessary for correct execution as a native image these initializers also have logic that depends on the presence/absence of `sun.misc.Unsafe`, e.g., via the `-Dio.netty.noUnsafe=true` flag. The fix is to push these initializers to runtime so that the field offset lookups (and the logic depending on them) run at run time. This way no manual substitutions are necessary either.
Modifications:
Add `META-INF/native-image` configuration files that correctly trigger the inialization of the above classes at run time via `--initialize-at-run-time=...` flags.
Result:
Fixes the initialisation issues described above for Netty executables built with GraalVM.
Motivation:
14607979f6 added tests for using ACCP but did miss to use the same unwrapping technique of exceptions as JdkSslEngineTest. This can lead to test-failures on specific JDK versions
Modifications:
Add the same unwrapping code
Result:
No more test failures
Motivation:
Amazon lately released Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider, so we should include it in our testsuite
Modifications:
Add tests related to Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider
Result:
Test netty with Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider
Motivation:
If all we need is the FileChannel we should better use RandomAccessFile as FileInputStream and FileOutputStream use a finalizer.
Modifications:
Replace FileInputStream and FileOutputStream with RandomAccessFile when possible.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8078.
Motivation:
When using OpenSSL and JDK < 11 is used we need to wrap the user provided X509ExtendedTrustManager to be able to support TLS1.3. We had a check in place that first tried to see if wrapping is needed at all which could lead to missleading calls of the user provided trustmanager. We should remove these calls and just always wrap if needed.
Modifications:
Always wrap if OpenSSL + JDK < 11 and TLS1.3 is supported
Result:
Less missleading calls to user provided trustmanager
Motivation:
Users' runtime systems may have incompatible dynamic libraries to the ones our
tcnative wrappers link to. Unfortunately, we cannot determine and catch these
scenarios (in which the JVM crashes) but we can make a more educated guess on
what library to load and try to find one that works better before crashing.
Modifications:
1) Build dynamically linked openSSL builds for more OSs (netty-tcnative)
2) Load native linux libraries with matching classifier (first)
Result:
More developers / users can use the dynamically-linked native libraries.
Motivation
Debugging SSL/TLS connections through wireshark is a pain -- if the cipher used involves Diffie-Hellman then it is essentially impossible unless you can have the client dump out the master key [1]
This is a work-in-progress change (tests & comments to come!) that introduces a new handler you can set on the SslContext to receive the master key & session id. I'm hoping to get feedback if a change in this vein would be welcomed.
An implementation that conforms to Wireshark's NSS key log[2] file is also included.
Depending on feedback on the PR going forward I am planning to "clean it up" by adding documentation, example server & tests. Implementation will need to be finished as well for retrieving the master key from the OpenSSL context.

Modification
- Added SslMasterKeyHandler
- An implementation of the handler that conforms to Wireshark's key log format is included.
Result:
Be able to debug SSL / TLS connections more easily.

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:
2c99fc0f12 introduced a change that eagly recycles the queue. Unfortunally it did not correct protect against re-entrance which can cause a NPE.
Modifications:
- Correctly protect against re-entrance by adding null checks
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9319.
Motivation:
The AbstractSniHandler previously was willing to tolerate up to three
non-handshake records before a ClientHello that contained an SNI
extension field. This is, so far as I can tell, completely
unnecessary: no TLS implementation will be sending alerts or change
cipher spec messages before ClientHello.
Given that it was not possible to determine why this loop is in
the code to begin with, it's probably just best to remove it.
Modifications:
Remove the for loop.
Result:
The AbstractSniHandler will more rapidly determine whether it should
pass the records on to the default SSL handler.

Motivation:
I've introduced netty/netty-tcnative#421 that introduced exposing OpenSSL master key & client/server
random values with the purpose of allowing someone to log them to debug the traffic via auxiliary tools like Wireshark (see also #8653)
Modification:
Augmented OpenSslEngineTest to include a test which manually decrypts the TLS ciphertext
after exposing the masterkey + client/server random. This acts as proof that the tc-native new methods work correctly!
Result:
More tests

Motivation:
Some methods that either override others or are implemented as part of implementation an interface did miss the `@Override` annotation
Modifications:
Add missing `@Override`s
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
asList should only be used if there are multiple elements.
Modification:
Call to asList with only one argument could be replaced with singletonList
Result:
Cleaner code and a bit of memory savings
