Motivation:
When using the JDK SSL provider in client mode, the SNI host names (called serverNames in SslEngineImpl) is set to the peerHost (if available) that is used to initialize the SSL Engine:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/file/687fd7c7986d/src/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLEngineImpl.java#l377
This allows one to call SslEngine.getSSLParameters() and inspect what is the SNI name to be sent. The same should be done in the OpenSSL provider as well. Currently even though the the SNI name is sent by the OpenSSL provider during handshake when the peerHost is specified, it is missing from the parameters.
Modification:
Set the sniHostNames field when SNI is to be used. Also verifies the peer is actually a hostname before setting it as the SNI name, which is consistent with JDK SSL provider's behavior.
Result:
SslEngine using the OpenSSL provider created in client mode with peerHost will initialize sniHostNames with the peerHost.
Calling SslEngine.getSSLParameters().getServerNames() will return a list that contains that name.
Motivation:
There is a JDK bug which will return IP_TOS as supported option for ServerSocketChannel even if its not supported afterwards and cause an AssertionError.
See http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/nio-dev/2018-August/005365.html.
Modifications:
Add a workaround for the JDK bug.
Result:
ServerSocketChannel.config().getOptions() will not throw anymore and work as expected.
Motivation:
DnsNameResolver manages search domains and will retry the request with the different search domains provided to it. However if the query results in an invalid hostname, the Future corresponding to the resolve request will never be completed.
Modifications:
- If a resolve attempt results in an invalid hostname and the query isn't issued we should fail the associated promise
Result:
No more hang from DnsNameResolver if search domain results in invalid hostname.
In nioBuffer(int,int) in CompositeByteBuf , we create a sub-array of nioBuffers for the components that are in range, then concatenate all the components in range into a single bigger buffer.
However, if the call to nioBuffers() returned only one sub-buffer, then we are copying it to a newly-allocated buffer "merged" for no reason.
Motivation:
Profiler for Spark shows a lot of time spent in put() method inside nioBuffer(), while usually no copy of data is required.
Modification:
This change skips this last step and just returns a duplicate of the single buffer returned by the call to nioBuffers(), which will in most implementation not copy the data
Result:
No copy when the source is only 1 buffer
Motivation:
At the moment we only clear the resolveCache when the Channel is closed. We should also do the same for the authoritativeDnsServerCache.
Modifications:
Add authoritativeDnsServerCache.clear() to the Channel closeFuture.
Result:
Correctly clear all caches.
Motivation:
952eeb8e1e introduced the possibility to use any JDK SocketOption when using the NIO transport but broke the possibility to use netty with java6.
Modifications:
Do not use java7 types in method signatures of the static methods in NioChannelOption to prevent class-loader issues on java6.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8166.
Motivation:
We missed to do a null check before trying to destroy the OpenSslSessionContext, which could lead to a NPE.
Modifications:
Add null check and tests.
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8170.
Motivation:
Temporary disable test that wwas introduced as part of f60d08fd32 as it sometimes fail on the CI. We need to figure out why it fails there (can not reproduce so far even on the CI after ssh into it).
Modifications:
Ignore test.
Result:
More stable builds until we figure out the flackyness.
Motivation:
In some of our tests we not correctly init the SSLEngine before trying to perform a handshake which can cause an IllegalStateException. While this not happened in previous java releases it does now on Java11 (which is "ok" as its even mentioned in the api docs). Beside this how we selected the ciphersuite to test renegotation was not 100 % safe.
Modifications:
- Correctly init SSLEngine before using it
- Correctly select ciphersuite before testing for renegotation.
Result:
More correct tests and also pass on next java11 EA release.
Motivation:
Avoid unnecessary native memory allocation if UDP / TCP isn't being
used.
Modifications:
Create the reused NativeDatagramPacketArray and IovArray upon first use
instead of EpollEventLoop construction.
Also correct related comment in NativeDatagramPacketArray.
Result:
Reduced native memory use when using epoll in many cases
Motivation:
d67d639f5f added a test for shading the native transport of netty. We should also test that shading netty-tcnative is possible.
Modifications:
Add test for shading netty-tcnative
Result:
More testing.
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.
Motivation:
We should allow to also validate sni hostname which contains for example underscore when using our native SSL impl. The JDK implementation does this as well.
Modifications:
- Construct the SNIHostName via byte[] and not String.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8144.
Motivation:
We need to add special handling for WrappedCompositeByteBuf as these also extend AbstractByteBuf, otherwise we will not correctly adjust / read the writerIndex during processing.
Modifications:
- Add instanceof checks for WrappedCompositeByteBuf as well.
- Add testcases
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8152.
Motivation:
We do not correctly check for previous calles of setUncancellable() in getNow() which may result in ClassCastException as we incorrectly return the internally UNCANCELLABLE object and not null if setUncancellable() we as called before.
Modifications:
Correctly check for UNCANCELLABLE and add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8135.
* Support the usage of SocketOption when nio is used and the java version >= 7.
Motivation:
The JDK uses SocketOption since java7 to support configuration options on the underyling Channel. We should allow to create a ChannelOption from a given SocketOption if nio is used. This also allows us to expose the same featureset in terms of configuration as the java nio implementation does without any extra effort.
Modifications:
- Add NioChannelOption which allows to wrap an existing SocketOption which then can be applied to the nio transport.
- Add test-cases
Result:
Support the same configuration options as the JDK. Also fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8072.
Motivation:
It's easy to break the support for shading native libs as shown in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8090. We should have some testing to ensure all works as expected.
Modification:
Add new testsuite which verifies that shading our native transports work as expected.
Result:
Include test to verify shading of native code.
Motivation:
a137291ad1 introduced a way to get the most speed out of OpenSSL by not only caching keymaterial but pre-compute these. The problem was we missed to check for null before doing an instanceof check and then a cast which could lead to a NPE as we tried to cast null to Exception and throw it.
Modifications:
Add null check and unit test.
Result:
No more NPE when keymaterial was not found for requested alias.
Motivation:
We incorrectly calculated the length that was used for our for loop in AsciiString.indexOf(...). This lead to a possible ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Not include the start in the length calculation
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8112.
Motivation:
Some code that was shown as part of the ChannelHandler javadoc was not 100 % correct and used some constructs that we used in netty 3. Also we never called flush() in the code which is a bad example for users.
Modifications:
- Remove netty 3 code references
- Replace channel.write(...) with ctx.writeAndFlush(...)
Result:
More correct code in the javadocs.
Motivation:
MemcacheClientHandler.channelRead(...) need to release the frame after it prints out its content to not introduce a memory leak.
Modifications:
Call release() on the frame.
Result:
Example has no leak any more.
* Add OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which makes it even easier for people to get the maximum performance when using OpenSSL / LibreSSL / BoringSSL with netty.
Motivation:
To make it even easier for people to get the maximum performance when using native SSL we should provide our own KeyManagerFactory implementation that people can just use to configure their key material.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which users can use for maximum performance with native SSL
- Refactor some internal code to re-use logic and not duplicate it.
Result:
Easier to get the max performance out of native SSL implementation.
Motivation:
5b1fe611a6 introduced the usage of a finalizer as last resort for PoolThreadCache. As we may call free() from the FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) and finalize() we need to guard against multiple calls as otherwise we will corrupt internal state (that is used for metrics).
Modifications:
Use AtomicBoolean to guard against multiple calls of PoolThreadCache.free().
Result:
No more corruption of internal state caused by calling PoolThreadCache.free() multuple times.
Motivation:
Users should not see a scary log message when Netty is initialized if
Netty configuration explicitly disables unsafe. The log message that
produces this warning was previously guarded but by recent refactoring
a bug was introduced inside the guard helper method.
Modifications:
This commit brings back the guard against the scary log message if
unsafe is explicitly disabled.
Result:
No log message is produced when unsafe is unavailable because Netty was
told to not look for it.
Relates https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/5624, https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/6696
Motivation:
We need to release the inbound data to ensure there are no leaks.
Modifications:
Extend SimpleChannelInboundHandler which will release inbound data by default.
Result:
No more leaks.
Motivation:
Recent PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8040 introduced
Unpooled.wrappedUnmodifiableBuffer(ByteBuf...) which has the same
behaviour but wraps the provided array directly. This is preferred for
most uses (including varargs-based use) and if there are any unusual
cases of an explicit array which is re-used before the ByteBuf is
finished with, it can just be copied first.
Modifications:
Added @Deprecated annotation and javadoc to
Unpooled.unmodifiableBuffer(ByteBuf...).
Result:
Unpooled.unmodifiableBuffer(ByteBuf...) will be deprecated.
Motivation:
When a Http2MultiplexCodec stream channel fails to write the first
HEADERS it will forcibly close, and that will trigger sending a
RST_STREAM, which is commonly a connection level protocol error. This is
because it has what looks like a valid stream id, but didn't check with
the connection as to whether the stream may have actually existed.
Modifications:
Instead of checking if the stream was just a valid looking id ( > 0) we
check with the connection as to whether it may have existed at all.
Result:
We no longer send a RST_STREAM frame from Http2MultiplexCodec for idle
streams.
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:
The Http2Connection state is updated by the DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder after the frame listener is notified of the goaway frame. If the listener sends a frame synchronously this means the connection state will not know about the goaway it just received and we may send frames that are not allowed on the connection. This may also mean a stream object is created but it may never get taken out of the stream map unless some other event occurs (e.g. timeout).
Modifications:
- The Http2Connection state should be updated before the listener is notified of the goaway
- The Http2Connection state modification and validation should be self contained when processing a goaway instead of partially in the decoder.
Result:
No more creating streams and sending frames after a goaway has been sent or received.
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:
Currently, the vast majority of userEventTriggered() implementations
require the user to supply the boilerplate behavior of performing an
instanceof check, handling if appropriate, and calling
fireUserEventTriggered() otherwise.
We can simplify this very common use case by creating a class that only
matches user events of a given type, similar to the existing
SimpleChannelInboundHandler class.
Modifications:
Create a new SimpleUserEventChannelHandler class
Create accompanying SimpleUserEventChannelHandlerTest class
Result:
Users will be able to handle most events in a less verbose manner.
Motivation:
If the local endpoint receives a GO_AWAY frame and then tries to write a stream with a streamId higher than the last know stream ID we will throw a connection error. This results in the local peer sending a GO_AWAY frame to the remote peer, but this is not necessary as the error can be isolated to the local endpoint and communicated via the ChannelFuture return value.
Modifications:
- Instead of throwing a connection error, throw a stream error that simulates the peer receiving the stream and replying with a RST
Result:
Connections are not closed abruptly when trying to create a stream on the local endpoint after a GO_AWAY frame is received.
Motivation:
As the used OpenSSL version may not support hostname validation we should only really call SSL.setHostNameValidation(...) if we detect that its needed.
Modifications:
Only call SSL.setHostNameValidation if it was disabled before and now it needs to be enabled or if it was enabled before and it should be disabled now.
Result:
Less risk of an exception when using an OpenSSL version that does not support hostname validation.
Motivation:
A new version of tcnative was released that allows to use features depending on the runtime version of openssl, which makes it possible to use KeyManagerFactory and hostname verification on newer versions of centos/fedora/rhel and debian/ubuntu without the need to compile again.
Modifications:
Update to 2.0.12.Final
Result:
Use latest version of netty-tcnative to support more features.
Motivation:
ObjectCleaner does start a Thread to handle the cleaning of resources which leaks into the users application. We should not use it in netty itself to make things more predictable.
Modifications:
- Remove usage of ObjectCleaner and use finalize as a replacement when possible.
- Clarify javadocs for FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) to ensure its clear that remove() is not guaranteed to be called when the Thread completees and so this method is not enough to guarantee cleanup for this case.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8017.
Motivation:
OpenSSL allows to use a custom engine for its cryptographic operations. We should allow the user to make use of it if needed.
See also: https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/crypto/engine.html.
Modifications:
Add new system property which can be used to specify the engine to use (null is the default and will use the build in default impl).
Result:
More flexible way of using OpenSSL.
Motivation:
We use FixedChannelPool in production, and we believe we have a leak that doesn't return sockets to the pool (but they should be closed), thus blocking us from creating new connections when we need them. I haven't confirmed this yet, but right now I have to resort to reflection to access this field which makes me sad.
Modification:
Expose the acquiredChannelCount field through a getter method.
Result:
Allows introspection of the pool size in FixedChannelPool.
Motivation:
If a write fails for a Http2MultiplexChannel stream channel, the channel
may be forcibly closed, but only after the promise has been failed. That
means continuations attached to the promise may see the channel in an
inconsistent state of still being open and active.
Modifications:
Move the satisfaction of the promise to after the channel cleanup logic
runs.
Result:
Listeners attached to the future that resulted in a Failed write will
see the stream channel in the correct state.
Motivation:
We can store the NativeDatagramPacketArray directly in the EpollEventLoop. This removes the need of using FastThreadLocal.
Modifications:
- Store NativeDatagramPacketArray directly in the EpollEventLoop (just as we do with IovArray as well).
Result:
Less FastThreadLocal usage and more consistent code.
