Motivation:
Right now to customize DNS name resolver when using DnsAddressResolverGroup
one should subclass implementation and override newNameResolver method when
in fact it's possible to collect all settings in a DnsNameResolverBuilder
instance. Described in #7749.
Modifications:
- Added new constructor for DnsNameResolverBuilder in order to delay
EventLoop specification
- Added copy() method to DnsNameResolverBuilder to provide an immutable
copy of the builder
- Added new single-argument constructor for DnsAddressResolverGroup and
RoundRobinDnsAddressResolverGroup accepting DnsNameResolverBuilder
instance
- DnsAddressResolverGroup to build a new resolver using DnsNameResolverBuilder
given instead of creating a new one
- Test cases to check that changing channelFactory after the builder was passed
to create a DnsNameResolverGroup would not propagate to the name resolver
Result:
Much easier to customize DNS settings w/o subclassing DnsAddressResolverGroup
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:
LocalChannel / LocalServerChannel did not respect read limits and just always read all of the messages.
Modifications:
- Correct respect MAX_MESSAGES_PER_READ settings
- Add unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7880.
Motivation:
On z/OS netty initializes this value with 64M, even the direct accessible memory is actually unbounded.
Modifications:
Skip usage of VM.maxDirectMemory() on z/OS.
Result:
More correct direct memory limit detection. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7654.
Motivation:
Using a very huge delay when calling schedule(...) may cause an Selector error when calling select(...) later on. We should gaurd against such a big value.
Modifications:
- Add guard against a very huge value.
- Added tests.
Result:
Fixes [#7365]
Motivation:
A FastThreadLocal instance currently occupies 2 slots of InternalThreadLocalMap of every thread. Actually for a FastThreadLocalThread, it does not need to store cleaner flags of FastThreadLocal instances. Besides, using BitSet to store cleaner flags is also better for space usage.
Modification:
Use BitSet to optimize space usage of FastThreadLocal.
Result:
Avoid unnecessary slot occupancy. Cleaner flags are now stored into a BitSet.
Motivation:
It should be possible to write a ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf to a channel without errors. However, ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf does not override isWritable and ensureWritable, which can cause some handlers to mistakenly assume they can write to the ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf, resulting in ReadOnlyBufferException.
Modification:
Added isWritable and ensureWritable method overrides on ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf to indicate that it is never writable. Added tests for these methods.
Result:
Can successfully write ReadOnlyByteBufferBuf to a channel with an SslHandler (or any other handler which may attempt to write to the ByteBuf it receives).
Motivation:
A new version of os-maven-plugin has been released.
Modifications:
- Update os-maven-plugin from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0
Result:
- No visible changes
- Feels good
It is possible to create streams in the half-closed state where the
stream state doesn't reflect that the request headers have been sent by
the client or the server hasn't received the request headers. This
state isn't possible in the H2 spec as a half closed stream must have
either received a full request or have received the headers from a
pushed stream. In the current implementation, this can cause the stream
created as part of an h2c upgrade request to be in this invalid state
and result in the omission of RST frames as the client doesn't believe
it has sent the request to begin with.
Modification:
The `DefaultHttp2Connection.activate` method checks the state and
modifies the status of the request headers as appropriate.
Result:
Fixes#7847.
Motivation:
Currently, if a DNS server returns a non-preferred address type before the preferred one, then both will be returned as the result, and when only taking a single one, this usually ends up being the non-preferred type. However, the JDK requires lookups to only return the preferred type when possible to allow for backwards compatibility.
To allow a client to be able to resolve the appropriate address when running on a machine that does not support IPv6 but the DNS server returns IPv6 addresses before IPv4 addresses when querying.
Modification:
Filter the returned records to the expected type when both types are present.
Result:
Allows a client to run on a machine with IPv6 disabled even when a server returns both IPv4 and IPv6 results. Netty-based code can be a drop-in replacement for JDK-based code in such circumstances.
This PR filters results before returning them to respect JDK expectations.
Motivation:
When trying to cleanup WeakOrderQueue by the ObjectCleaner we end up in an endless loop which will cause the ObjectCleaner to be not able to cleanup any other resources anymore.This bug was introduced by 6eb9674bf5.
Modifications:
Correctly update link while cleanup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7877
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only reset readInProgress if the outboundBuffer is not empty as otherwise we may miss to call fireChannelRead(...) later on when using the LocalChannel.
Modifications:
Also check if the outboundBuffer is not empty before setting readInProgress to false again
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7855
Motivation:
This allows netty to operate in 'transparent proxy' mode for UDP, intercepting connections
to other addresses by means of Linux firewalling rules, as per
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt
Modification:
Add IP_TRANSPARENT option.
Result:
Allows setting and getting of the IP_TRANSPARENT option, which allows retrieval of the ultimate socket address originally requested.
Motivation:
When connecting to an HTTP/2 server that did not set any value for the
SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE in the settings frame, the netty client was
imposing an arbitrary maximum header list size of 8kB. There should be no need
for the client to enforce such a limit if the server has not specified any
limit. This caused an issue for a grpc-java client that needed to send a large
header to a server via an Envoy proxy server. The error condition is
demonstrated here: https://github.com/JLofgren/demo-grpc-java-bug-4284
Fixes grpc-java issue #4284 - https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/4284
and netty issue #7825 - https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7825
Modifications:
In HpackEncoder use MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE as default maxHeader list size.
Result:
HpackEncoder will only enforce a max header list size if the server has
specified a limit in its settings frame.
Motivation:
The `AbstractByteBuf#equals` method doesn't take into account the
class of buffer instance. So the two buffers with different classes
must have the same `hashCode` values if `equals` method returns `true`.
But `EmptyByteBuf#hashCode` is not consistent with `#hashCode`
of the empty `AbstractByteBuf`, that is violates the contract and
can lead to errors.
Modifications:
Return `1` in `EmptyByteBuf#hashCode`.
Result:
Consistent behavior of `EmptyByteBuf#hashCode` and `AbstractByteBuf#hashCode`.
Motivation:
NPE in `CorsHandler` if a pre-flight request is done using an Origin header which is not allowed by any `CorsConfig` passed to the handler on creation.
Modifications:
During the pre-flight, check the `CorsConfig` for `null` and handle it correctly by not returning any access-control header
Result:
No more NPE for pre-flight requests with unauthorized origins.
Motivation:
We should allow to write Http2UnkownFrame to allow custom extensions.
Modifications:
Allow to write Http2UnkownFrame
Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7860.
Motivation:
The bounds checking for AsciiString#indexOf and AsciiString#lastIndexOf is not correct and may lead to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Correct the bounds checking for AsciiString#indexOf and AsciiString#lastIndexOf
Result
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7863
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:
Finer granularity when configuring CorsHandler, enabling different policies for different origins.
Modifications:
The CorsHandler has an extra constructor that accepts a List<CorsConfig> that are evaluated sequentially when processing a Cors request
Result:
The changes don't break backwards compatibility. The extra ctor can be used to provide more than one CorsConfig object.
Motivation:
The `ByteBuf#slice` and `ByteBuf#duplicate` methods should check
an accessibility to prevent creation slice or duplicate
of released buffer. At now this works not in the all scenarios.
Modifications:
Add missed checks.
Result:
More correct and consistent behavior of `ByteBuf` methods.
Motivation:
We need to add a dev-tools dependecy for commons as otherwise we may fail to fetch it before we try to use it.
Modifications:
Add dependency.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7842
Motivation:
NPE in `ClientCookieDecoder` if cookie starts with comma.
Modifications:
Check `cookieBuilder` for `null` in the return.
Result:
No fails NPE on invalid cookies.
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:
Minor performance optimisation that prevents thread from blocking due to task not having been added to queue. Discussed #7815.
Modification:
add task to the queue before starting the thread.
Result:
No additional tests.
Motivation:
The `#ensureAccessible` method in `UnpooledHeapByteBuf#capacity` used
to prevent NPE if buffer is released and `array` is `null`. In all
other implementations of `ByteBuf` the accessible is not checked by
`capacity` method. We can assign an empty array to `array`
in the `deallocate` and don't worry about NPE in the `#capacity`.
This will help reduce the number of repeated calls of the
`#ensureAccessible` in many operations with `UnpooledHeapByteBuf`.
Modifications:
1. Remove `#ensureAccessible` call from `UnpooledHeapByteBuf#capacity`.
Use the `EmptyArrays#EMPTY_BYTES` instead of `null` in `#deallocate`.
2. Fix access checks in `AbstractUnsafeSwappedByteBuf` and
`AbstractByteBuf#slice` that relied on `#ensureAccessible`
in `UnpooledHeapByteBuf#capacity`. This was found by unit tests.
Result:
Less double calls of `#ensureAccessible` for `UnpooledHeapByteBuf`.
Motivation:
Unnecessary flushes reduce the amount of flush coalescing that can happen at higher levels and thus can increase number of packets (because of TCP_NODELAY) and lower throughput (due to syscalls, TLS frames, etc)
Modifications:
Replace writeAndFlush(...) with write(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7837.
Motivation:
SctpMessageCompletionHandler stores fragments in a Map but not release the stored ByteBuf when the handler is removed.
Modifications:
Release all buffers that are still in the Map when handlerRemoved(...) is called.
Result:
No more leaks for fragemented messages.
Motivation:
There may be meaningful 'connection' headers that exist on a request
that is used to attempt a HTTP/1.x upgrade request that will be
clobbered.
Modifications:
HttpClientUpgradeHandler uses the `HttpHeaders.add` instead of
`HttpHeaders.set` when adding the 'upgrade' field.
Result:
Fixes#7823, existing 'connection' headers are preserved.
* NetUtil valid IP methods to accept CharSequence
Motivation:
NetUtil has methods to determine if a String is a valid IP address. These methods don't rely upon String specific methods and can use CharSequence instead.
Modifications:
- Use CharSequence instead of String for the IP validator methods.
- Avoid object allocation in AsciiString#indexOf(char,int) and reduce
byte code
Result:
No more copy operation required if a CharSequence exists.
Motivation:
NetUtilBenchmark is using out of date data, throws an exception in the benchmark, and allocates a Set on each run.
Modifications:
- Update the benchmark and reduce each run's overhead
Result:
NetUtilBenchmark is updated.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.doFlush is called twice from the same write if the channelWritabilityChanged event is invoked during the write. The buffer is already written so no extra data is sent on the socket but it causes the "promise already done" exception to be thrown.
This error happens only when the message is not ChunkedInput.
Modification:
Clear out the currentWrite reference before the ctx.write call, such that next time when the method is invoked the same object is not used twice.
Result:
Fixes#7819
* Add DnsNameResolver.resolveAll(DnsQuestion)
Motivation:
A user is currently expected to use DnsNameResolver.query() when he or
she wants to look up the full DNS records rather than just InetAddres.
However, query() only performs a single query. It does not handle
/etc/hosts file, redirection, CNAMEs or multiple name servers.
As a result, such a user has to duplicate all the logic in
DnsNameResolverContext.
Modifications:
- Refactor DnsNameResolverContext so that it can send queries for
arbitrary record types.
- Rename DnsNameResolverContext to DnsResolveContext
- Add DnsAddressResolveContext which extends DnsResolveContext for
A/AAAA lookup
- Add DnsRecordResolveContext which extends DnsResolveContext for
arbitrary lookup
- Add DnsNameResolverContext.resolveAll(DnsQuestion) and its variants
- Change DnsNameResolverContext.resolve() delegates the resolve request
to resolveAll() for simplicity
- Move the code that decodes A/AAAA record content to DnsAddressDecoder
Result:
- Fixes#7795
- A user does not have to duplicate DnsNameResolverContext in his or her
own code to implement the usual DNS resolver behavior.
Motivation:
Currently copying a direct ByteBuf copies it fully into the heap before writing it to an output stream.
The can result in huge memory usage on the heap.
Modification:
copy the bytebuf contents via an 8k buffer into the output stream
Result:
Fixes#7804
Motivation:
AbstractNioByteChannel will detect that the remote end of the socket has
been closed and propagate a user event through the pipeline. However if
the user has auto read on, or calls read again, we may propagate the
same user events again. If the underlying transport continuously
notifies us that there is read activity this will happen in a spin loop
which consumes unnecessary CPU.
Modifications:
- AbstractNioByteChannel's unsafe read() should check if the input side
of the socket has been shutdown before processing the event. This is
consistent with EPOLL and KQUEUE transports.
- add unit test with @normanmaurer's help, and make transports consistent with respect to user events
Result:
No more read spin loop in NIO when the channel is half closed.
Motivation:
There is a race between both flushing the upgrade response and receiving
more data before the flush ChannelPromise can fire and reshape the
pipeline. Since We have already committed to an upgrade by writing the
upgrade response, we need to be immediately prepared for handling the
next protocol.
Modifications:
The pipeline reshaping logic in HttpServerUpgradeHandler has been moved
out of the ChannelFutureListener attached to the write of the upgrade
response and happens immediately after the writeAndFlush call, but
before the method returns.
Result:
The pipeline is no longer subject to receiving more data before the
pipeline has been reformed.
Motivation:
Sometimes it is very convenient to remove the handler from pipeline without throwing the exception in case those handler doesn't exist in the pipeline.
Modification:
Added 3 overloaded methods to DefaultChannelPipeline, but not added to ChannelHandler due to back compatibility.
Result:
Fixes#7662
Motivation:
We should only schedule one timeout to wait for the close notify to be done.
Modifications:
Keep track of if we already scheduled a timeout for close notify and if so not schedule another one.
Result:
No duplicated timeouts.
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler uses `NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` to compute
CONNECT url and Host header.
The url is correct when the address is unresolved, as
`NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` will then use
`getHoststring`/`getHostname`. If the address is already resolved, the
url will be based on the IP instead of the hostname.
There’s an additional minor issue with the Host header: default port
443 should be omitted.
Modifications:
* Introduce NetUtil#getHostname
* Introduce HttpUtil#formatHostnameForHttp to format an
InetSocketAddress to
HTTP format
* Change url computation to favor hostname instead of IP
* Introduce HttpProxyHandler ignoreDefaultPortsInConnectHostHeader
parameter to ignore 80 and 443 ports in Host header
Result:
HttpProxyHandler performs properly when connecting to a resolved address
Motivation:
Our code was not correct in AbstractNioMessageChannel.closeOnReadError(....) which lead to the situation that we always tried to continue reading no matter what exception was thrown when using the NioServerSocketChannel. Also even on an IOException we should check if the Channel itself is still active or not and if not stop reading.
Modifications:
Fix closeOnReadError impl and added test.
Result:
Correctly stop reading on NioServerSocketChannel when error happens during read.
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:
LibreSSL removed support for NPN in its 2.6.1+ releases.
Modifications:
Skip NPN tests in libressl 2.6.1+
Result:
Be able to run netty tests against libressl 2.6.1+ as well.
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.
