c5faa142fb KObjectHashMap probeNext improvement
Motivation:
KObjectHashMap.probeNext(..) usually involves 2 conditional statements and 2 aritmatic operations. This can be improved to have 0 conditional statements.

Modifications:
- Use bit masking to avoid conditional statements

Result:
Improved performance for KObjecthashMap.probeNext(..)

d580245afc DefaultHttp2Connection.close Reentrant Modification
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Conneciton.close method accounts for active streams being iterated and attempts to avoid reentrant modifications of the underlying stream map by using iterators to remove from the stream map. However there are a few issues:

- While iterating over the stream map we don't prevent iterations over the active stream collection
- Removing a single stream may actually remove > 1 streams due to closed non-leaf streams being preserved in the priority tree which may result in NPE

Preserving closed non-leaf streams in the priority tree is no longer necessary with our current allocation algorithms, and so this feature (and related complexity) can be removed.

Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2Connection.close should prevent others from iterating over the active streams and reentrant modification scenarios which may result from this
- DefaultHttp2Connection should not keep closed stream in the priority tree
  - Remove all associated code in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController which accounts for this case including the ReducedState object
  - This includes fixing writability changes which depended on ReducedState
- Update unit tests

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198

9229ed98e2 [#5088] Add annotation which marks packages/interfaces/classes as unstable
Motivation:

Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.

Modifications:

- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.

Result:

Better document unstable APIs.

f990f9983d HTTP/2 Don't Flow Control Iniital Headers
Motivation:
Currently the initial headers for every stream is queued in the flow controller. Since the initial header frame may create streams the peer must receive these frames in the order in which they were created, or else this will be a protocol error and the connection will be closed. Tolerating the initial headers being queued would increase the complexity of the WeightedFairQueueByteDistributor and there is benefit of doing so is not clear.

Modifications:
- The initial headers will no longer be queued in the flow controllers

Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4758

6dbb610f5b Add ChannelHandlerContext.invoker()
Motivation:

Being able to access the invoker() is useful when adding additional
handlers that should be running in the same thread. Since an application
may be using a threading model unsupported by the default invoker, they
can specify their own. Because of that, in a handler that auto-adds
other handlers:

// This is a good pattern
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.invoker(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);
// This will generally work, but prevents using custom invoker.
ctx.pipeline().addBefore(ctx.executor(), ctx.name(), null, newHandler);

That's why I believe in commit 110745b0, for the now-defunct 5.0 branch,
when ChannelHandlerAppender was added the invoker() method was also
necessary.

There is a side-benefit to exposing the invoker: in certain advanced
use-cases using the invoker for a particular handler is useful. Using
the invoker you are able to invoke a _particular_ handler, from possibly
a different thread yet still using standard exception processing.

ChannelHandlerContext does part of that, but is unwieldy when trying to
invoke a particular handler because it invokes the prev or next handler,
not the one the context is for. A workaround is to use the next or prev
context (respectively), but this breaks when the pipeline changes.

This came up during writing the Http2MultiplexCodec which uses a
separate child channel for each http/2 stream and wants to send messages
from the child channel directly to the Http2MultiplexCodec handler that
created it.

Modifications:

Add the invoker() method to ChannelHandlerContext. It was already being
implemented by AbstractChannelHandlerContext. The two other
implementations of ChannelHandlerContext needed minor tweaks.

Result:

Access to the invoker used for a particular handler, for either reusing
for other handlers or for advanced use-cases. Fixes #4738

904e70a4d4 HTTP/2 Weighted Fair Queue Byte Distributor
Motivation:
PriorityStreamByteDistributor uses a homegrown algorithm which distributes bytes to nodes in the priority tree. PriorityStreamByteDistributor has no concept of goodput which may result in poor utilization of network resources. PriorityStreamByteDistributor also has performance issues related to the tree traversal approach and number of nodes that must be visited. There also exists some more proven algorithms from the resource scheduling domain which PriorityStreamByteDistributor does not employ.

Modifications:
- Introduce a new ByteDistributor which uses elements from weighted fair queue schedulers

Result:
StreamByteDistributor which is sensitive to priority and uses a more familiar distribution concept.

2202e8f967 Revamp the Http2ConnectionHandler builder API
Related: #4572

Motivation:

- A user might want to extend Http2ConnectionHandler and define his/her
  own static inner Builder class that extends
  Http2ConnectionHandler.BuilderBase. This introduces potential
  confusion because there's already Http2ConnectionHandler.Builder. Your
  IDE will warn about this name duplication as well.
- BuilderBase exposes all setters with public modifier. A user's Builder
  might not want to expose them to enforce it to certain configuration.
  There's no way to hide them because it's public already and they are
  final.
- BuilderBase.build(Http2ConnectionDecoder, Http2ConnectionEncoder)
  ignores most properties exposed by BuilderBase, such as
  validateHeaders, frameLogger and encoderEnforceMaxConcurrentStreams.
  If any build() method ignores the properties exposed by the builder,
  there's something wrong.
- A user's Builder that extends BuilderBase might want to require more
  parameters in build(). There's no way to do that cleanly because
  build() is public and final already.

Modifications:

- Make BuilderBase and Builder top-level so that there's no duplicate
  name issue anymore.
  - Add AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  - Add Http2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  - Add HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
- Make all builder methods in AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandlerBuilder
  protected so that a subclass can choose which methods to expose
- Provide only a single build() method
  - Add connection() and codec() so that a user can still specify
    Http2Connection or Http2Connection(En|De)coder explicitly
  - Implement proper state validation mechanism so that it is prevented
    to invoke conflicting setters

Result:

Less confusing yet flexible builder API

641505a5d2 DefaultChannelConfig maxMessagesPerRead default not always set
Motivation:
ChannelMetadata has a field minMaxMessagesPerRead which can be confusing. There are also some cases where static instances are used and the default value for channel type is not being applied.

Modifications:
- use a default value which is set unconditionally to simplify
- make sure static instances of MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator are not used if the intention is that the default maxMessagesPerRead should be derived from the channel type.

Result:
Less confusing interfaces in ChannelMetadata and ChannelConfig. Default maxMessagesPerRead is correctly applied.

2a2059d976 Adding UniformStreamByteDistributor
Motivation:

The current priority algorithm can yield poor per-stream goodput when either the number of streams is high or the connection window is small. When all priorities are the same (i.e. priority is disabled), we should be able to do better.

Modifications:

Added a new UniformStreamByteDistributor that ignores priority entirely and manages a queue of streams.  Each stream is allocated a minimum of 1KiB on each iteration.

Result:

Improved goodput when priority is not used.

6504d52b94 Add HTTP/2 local flow control option for auto refill
Motivation:

For many HTTP/2 applications (such as gRPC) it is necessary to autorefill the connection window in order to prevent application-level deadlocking.

Consider an application with 2 streams, A and B.  A receives a stream of messages and the application pops off one message at a time and makes a request on stream B. However, if receiving of data on A has caused the connection window to collapse, B will not be able to receive any data and the application will deadlock.  The only way (currently) to get around this is 1) use multiple connections, or 2) manually refill the connection window.  Both are undesirable and could needlessly complicate the application code.

Modifications:

Add a configuration option to DefaultHttp2LocalFlowController, allowing it to autorefill the connection window.

Result:

Applications can configure HTTP/2 to avoid inter-stream deadlocking.

19658e9cd8 HTTP/2 Headers Type Updates
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2) indicates that header names consist of ASCII characters. We currently use ByteString to represent HTTP/2 header names. The HTTP/2 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-10.3) also eludes to header values inheriting the same validity characteristics as HTTP/1.x. Using AsciiString for the value type of HTTP/2 headers would allow for re-use of predefined HTTP/1.x values, and make comparisons more intuitive. The Headers<T> interface could also be expanded to allow for easier use of header types which do not have the same Key and Value type.

Motivation:
- Change Headers<T> to Headers<K, V>
- Change Http2Headers<ByteString> to Http2Headers<CharSequence, CharSequence>
- Remove ByteString. Having AsciiString extend ByteString complicates equality comparisons when the hash code algorithm is no longer shared.

Result:
Http2Header types are more representative of the HTTP/2 RFC, and relationship between HTTP/2 header name/values more directly relates to HTTP/1.x header names/values.

c9364616c8 Fix performance regression in FastThreadLocal microbenchmark. Fixes #4402
Motivation:

As reported in #4402, the FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that the JDK ThreadLocal
is actually faster than Netty's custom thread local implementation.

I was looking forward to doing some deep digging, but got disappointed :(.

Modifications:

The microbenchmark was not using FastThreadLocalThreads and would thus always hit the slow path.
I updated the JMH command line flags, so that FastThreadLocalThreads would be used.

Result:

FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows FastThreadLocal to be faster than JDK's ThreadLocal implementation,
by about 56% in this particular benchmark. Run on OSX El Capitan with OpenJDK 1.8u60.

9697afc106 Allow to disable reference count checks on every access of the ByteBuf
Motiviation:

Checking reference count on every access on a ByteBuf can have some big performance overhead depending on how the access pattern is. If the user is sure that there are no reference count errors on his side it should be possible to disable the check and so gain the max performance.

Modification:

- Add io.netty.buffer.bytebuf.checkAccessible system property which allows to disable the checks. Enabled by default.
- Add microbenchmark

Result:

Increased performance for operations on the ByteBuf.
