Motivation:
Often a temporary ByteBuffer is used which can be cached to reduce the GC pressure.
Modifications:
Add a Deque per PoolChunk which will be used for caching.
Result:
Less GC.
Motivation:
When we create new chunk with memory aligned, the offset of direct memory should be
'alignment - address & (alignment - 1)', not just 'address & (alignment - 1)'.
Modification:
Change offset calculating formula to offset = alignment - address & (alignment - 1) in PoolArena.DirectArena#offsetCacheLine and add a unit test to assert that.
Result:
Correctly calculate offset.
Motivation:
We did miss to use MessageFormatter inside LocationAwareSlf4jLogger and so {} was not correctly replaced in log messages when using slf4j.
This regression was introduced by afe0767e9c.
Modifications:
- Make use of MessageFormatter
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8483.
Motivation:
We can change from using compareAndSet to addAndGet, which emits a different CPU instruction on x86 (CMPXCHG to XADD) when count direct memory usage. This instruction is cheaper in general and so produce less overhead on the "happy path". If we detect too much memory usage we just rollback the change before throwing the Error.
Modifications:
Replace compareAndSet(...) with addAndGet(...)
Result:
Less overhead when tracking direct memory.
Motivation:
During benchmarks two methods showed up as "hot method too big". We can easily make these smaller by factor out some less common code-path to an extra method and so allow inlining.
Modifications:
Factor out less common code path to an extra method.
Result:
Hot methods can be inlined.
Motivation:
Our HeadContext in DefaultChannelPipeline does handle inbound and outbound but we only marked it as outbound. While this does not have any effect in the current code-base it can lead to problems when we change our internals (this is also how I found the bug).
Modifications:
Construct HeadContext so it is also marked as handling inbound.
Result:
More correct code.
Motivation:
31fd66b617 added @Deprecated to some classes but also to the package-info.java files. IntelliJ does not like to have these annotations on package-info.java
Modifications:
Remove annotation from package-info.java
Result:
Be able to compile against via IntelliJ
Motivation:
We plan to remove the OIO based transports in Netty 5 so we should mark these as deprecated already.
Modifications:
Mark all OIO based transports as deprecated.
Result:
Give the user a heads-up for removal.
Motivation:
Some of transports support gathering writes when using datagrams. For example this is the case for EpollDatagramChannel. We should minimize the calls to flush() to allow making efficient usage of sendmmsg in this case.
Modifications:
- minimize flush() operations when we query for multiple address types.
- reduce GC by always directly schedule doResolveAll0(...) on the EventLoop.
Result:
Be able to use sendmmsg internally in the DnsNameResolver.
Motivation:
We currently depend on slf4j in an transitive way in one of our classes in the examples. We should not do this.
Modifications:
Remove logging in example.
Result:
Remove not needed dependency.
Motivation:
0d2e38d5d6 added supported for detection of peer supported algorithms but we missed to fix the testcase.
Modifications:
Fix test-case.
Result:
No more failing tests with BoringSSL.
Motivation:
When the Selector throws an IOException during our EventLoop processing we should rebuild it and transfer the registered Channels. At the moment we will continue trying to use it which will never work.
Modifications:
- Rebuild Selector when an IOException is thrown during any select*(...) methods.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8566.
Motivation:
We should allow adjustment of the leak detecting sampling interval when in SAMPLE mode.
Modifications:
Added new int property io.netty.leakDetection.samplingInterval
Result:
Be able to consume changes made by the user.
Motivation:
Besides an error caused by closing socket in Windows a bunch of other errors may happen at this place which won't be somehow logged. For instance any VirtualMachineError as OutOfMemoryError will be simply ignored. The library should at least log the problem.
Modification:
Added logging of the throwable object.
Result:
Fixes#8499.
Motivation:
We should refresh the DNS configuration each 5 minutes to be able to detect changes done by the user. This is inline with what OpenJDK is doing
Modifications:
Refresh config every 5 minutes.
Result:
Be able to consume changes made by the user.
Swallow SSL Exception "closing inbound before receiving peer's close_notify" when running on Java 11 (#8463)
Motivation:
When closing a inbound SSL connection before the remote peer has send a close notify, the Java JDK is trigger happy to throw an exception. This exception can be ignored since the connection is about to be closed.
The exception wasn't printed in Java 8, based on filtering on the exception message. In Java 11 the exception message has been changed.
Modifications:
Update the if statement to also filter/swallow the message on Java 11.
Result:
On Java 11 the exception isn't printed with log levels set to debug. The old behaviour is maintained.
Motivation:
The SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() / getLocalPrincipial() methods did not correctly return the local configured certificate / principal if a KeyManagerFactory was used when configure the SslContext.
Modifications:
- Correctly update the local certificates / principial when the key material is selected.
- Add test case that verifies the SSLSession after the handshake to ensure we correctly return all values.
Result:
SSLSession returns correct values also when KeyManagerFactory is used with the OpenSSL provider.
Motivation:
We did not return the pointer to SSL_CTX put to the internal datastructure of tcnative.
Modifications:
Return the correct pointer.
Result:
Methods work as documented in the javadocs.
Motivation:
Update to netty-tcnative 2.0.20.Final which fixed a bug related to retrieving the remote signature algorithms when using BoringSSL.
Modifications:
Update netty-tcnative
Result:
Be able to correctly detect the remote signature algorithms when using BoringSSL.
Motivation:
There is a racy UnsupportedOperationException instead because the task removal is delegated to MpscChunkedArrayQueue that does not support removal. This happens with SingleThreadEventExecutor that overrides the newTaskQueue to return an MPSC queue instead of the LinkedBlockingQueue returned by the base class such as NioEventLoop, EpollEventLoop and KQueueEventLoop.
Modifications:
- Catch the UnsupportedOperationException
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fix#8475
* Correctly convert supported signature algorithms when using BoringSSL
Motivation:
BoringSSL uses different naming schemes for the signature algorithms so we need to adjust the regex to also handle these.
Modifications:
- Adjust SignatureAlgorithmConverter to handle BoringSSL naming scheme
- Ensure we do not include duplicates
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Correctly convert boringssl signature algorithm names.
Motivation:
We did not correctly convert between openssl / boringssl and java ciphers when using TLV1.3 which had different effects when either using openssl or boringssl.
- When using openssl and TLSv1.3 we always returned SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL as cipher name
- When using boringssl with TLSv1.3 we always returned an incorrect constructed cipher name which does not match what is defined by Java.
Modifications:
- Add correct mappings in CipherSuiteConverter for both openssl and boringssl
- Add unit tests for CipherSuiteConvert
- Add unit in SSLEngine which checks that we do not return SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL ever and that server and client returns the same cipher name.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8477.
Motivation:
The code for initiating a TLS handshake or renegotiation process is
currently difficult to reason about.
Modifications:
This commit introduces to clear paths for starting a handshake. The
first path is a normal handshake. The handshake is started and a timeout
is scheduled.
The second path is renegotiation. If the first handshake is incomplete,
the renegotiation promise is added as a listener to the handshake
promise. Otherwise, the renegotiation promise replaces the original
promsie. At that point the handshake is started again and a timeout is
scheduled.
Result:
Cleaner and easier to understand code.
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:
ByteBuf.retainedSlice() and similar methods produce sliced buffers with
an independent refcount to the buffer that they wrap.
One of the optimizations in 10539f4dc7 was
to use the ref to the unwrapped buffer object for added slices, but this
did not take into account the above special case when later releasing.
Thanks to @rkapsi for discovering this via #8495.
Modifications:
Since a reference to the slice is still kept in the Component class,
just changed Component.freeIfNecessary() to release the slice in
preference to the unwrapped buf.
Also added a unit test which reproduces the bug.
Result:
Fixes#8495
Motivation:
We did not correctly schedule the handshake timeout if the handshake was either started by a flush(...) or if starttls was used.
Modifications:
- Correctly setup timeout in all cases
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8493.
Motivation:
We missed to include a profile for windows which means that we did not have the correct dependencies setup.
Modifications:
- Add missing profile
- Add assumeFalse(...) to ensure we do only test the native transpot shading on non windows platforms.
- Explicit specify dependency on netty-common
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8489.
Motivation:
If you attempt to write to a channel with an SslHandler prior to channelActive being called you can hit an assertion. In particular - if you write to a channel it forces some handshaking (through flush calls) to occur.
The AssertionError only happens on Java11+.
Modifications:
- Replace assert by an "early return" in case of the handshake be done already.
- Add unit test that verifies we do not hit the AssertionError anymore and that the future is correctly failed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8479.
Motivation:
We disabled the test at some point but it should work now without any problems.
Modifications:
Remove @Ignore from test.
Result:
Verify shading of netty-tcnative on CI.
Motivation:
Two similar bugs were introduced by myself in separate recent PRs #8393
and #8464, while optimizing the assignment/handling of temporary arrays
in ByteBufUtil and UnsafeByteBufUtil.
The temp arrays allocated for buffering data written to an OutputStream
are incorrectly sized to the full length of the data to copy rather than
being capped at WRITE_CHUNK_SIZE.
Unfortunately one of these is in the 4.1.31.Final release, I'm really
sorry and will be more careful in future.
This kind of thing is tricky to cover in unit tests.
Modifications:
Revert the temp array allocations back to their original sizes.
Avoid making duplicate calls to ByteBuf.capacity() in a couple of places
in ByteBufUtil (unrelated thing I noticed, can remove it from this PR if
desired!)
Result:
Temporary byte arrays will be reverted to their originally intended
sizes.
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:
We should call wrapEngine(...) in our SSLEngineTest to correctly detect all errors in case of the OpenSSLEngine.
Modifications:
Add missing wrapEngine(...) calls.
Result:
More correct tests
Motivation:
We did not override all methods in OpenSslX509Certificate and delegate to the internal 509Certificate.
Modifications:
Add missing overrides.
Result:
More correct implementation
Motivation:
allLeaks is to store the DefaultResourceLeak. When we actually use it, the key is DefaultResourceLeak, and the value is actually a meaningless value.
We only care about the keys of allLeaks and don't care about the values. So Set is more in line with this scenario.
Using Set as a container is more consistent with the definition of a container than Map.
Modification:
Replace allLeaks with set. Create a thread-safe set using 'Collections.newSetFromMap(new ConcurrentHashMap<DefaultResourceLeak<?>, Boolean>()).'
Motivation:
#8388 introduced a reusable ThreadLocal<byte[]> for use in
decodeString(...). It can be used in more places in the buffer package
to avoid temporary allocations of small arrays.
Modifications:
Encapsulate use of the ThreadLocal in a static package-private
ByteBufUtil.threadLocalTempArray(int) method, and make use of it from a
handful of new places including ByteBufUtil.readBytes(...).
Result:
Fewer short-lived small byte array allocations.
Motivation:
CompositeByteBuf is a powerful and versatile abstraction, allowing for
manipulation of large data without copying bytes. There is still a
non-negligible cost to reading/writing however relative to "singular"
ByteBufs, and this can be mostly eliminated with some rework of the
internals.
My use case is message modification/transformation while zero-copy
proxying. For example replacing a string within a large message with one
of a different length
Modifications:
- No longer slice added buffers and unwrap added slices
- Components store target buf offset relative to position in
composite buf
- Less allocations, object footprint, pointer indirection, offset
arithmetic
- Use Component[] rather than ArrayList<Component>
- Avoid pointer indirection and duplicate bounds check, more
efficient backing array growth
- Facilitates optimization when doing bulk-inserts - inserting n
ByteBufs behind m is now O(m + n) instead of O(mn)
- Avoid unnecessary casting and method call indirection via superclass
- Eliminate some duplicate range/ref checks via non-checking versions of
toComponentIndex and findComponent
- Add simple fast-path for toComponentIndex(0); add racy cache of
last-accessed Component to findComponent(int)
- Override forEachByte0(...) and forEachByteDesc0(...) methods
- Make use of RecyclableArrayList in nioBuffers(int, int) (in line with
FasterCompositeByteBuf impl)
- Modify addComponents0(boolean,int,Iterable) to use the Iterable
directly rather than copy to an array first (and possibly to an
ArrayList before that)
- Optimize addComponents0(boolean,int,ByteBuf[],int) to not perform
repeated array insertions and avoid second loop for offset updates
- Simplify other logic in various places, in particular the general
pattern used where a sub-range is iterated over
- Add benchmarks to demonstrate some improvements
While refactoring I also came across a couple of clear bugs. They are
fixed in these changes but I will open another PR with unit tests and
fixes to the current version.
Result:
Much faster creation, manipulation, and access; many fewer allocations
and smaller footprint. Benchmark results to follow.
Motivation:
If the encoder needs to flush more than one outbound message it will
create a new ChannelPromise for all but the last write which will
swallow failures.
Modification:
Use a PromiseCombiner in the case of multiple messages and the parent
promise isn't the `VoidPromise`.
Result:
Intermediate failures are propagated to the original ChannelPromise.
Motivation:
Due a bug in our implementation we tried to release the same ByteBuf two times when we failed to parse the X509Certificate as closing the ByteBufInputStream already closed it.
Modifications:
- Don't close the ByteBuf when closing the ByteBufInputStream
- Explicit release all ByteBufs after we are done parsing in a finally block.
- Add testcase.
Result:
Do not produce an IllegalReferenceCountException and throw the correct CertificateException.
Motivation:
After #7527 fix there is no need to manually release chunks (HttpData) during file upload as they will be released on HttpPostRequestDecoder.destroy().
Modification:
HttpUploadServer example doesn't release chunks manually (doesn't call data.release()).
Result:
Fixes#7695 and #7689
Motivation:
HWT does not support anything smaller then 1ms so we should make it clear that this is the case.
Modifications:
Log a warning if < 1ms is used.
Result:
Less suprising behaviour.
Motivation:
SHA1 is a broken hash function and shouldn't be used anymore (see: https://shattered.io/).
Security scanning tools will raise this as an issue and it will reflect badly on netty and I, therefore, recommend to use a SHA2 hash function which is secure and won't be flagged by such tools.
Modifications:
Replaced insecure SHA1 based signing scheme with SHA2.
Result:
Modern and thus secure cryptographic primitives will be in use and won't be flagged by security scanning tools.
Motivation:
In netty we use our own max direct memory limit that can be adjusted by io.netty.maxDirectMemory but we do not take this in acount when maxDirectMemory() is used. That will lead to non optimal configuration of PooledByteBufAllocator in some cases.
This came up on stackoverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53097133/why-is-default-num-direct-arena-derived-from-platformdependent-maxdirectmemory
Modifications:
Correctly respect io.netty.maxDirectMemory and so configure PooledByteBufAllocator correctly by default.
Result:
Correct value for max direct memory.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8444 reports that there is some issue with negative values passed to timerfd_settime. This test verifies that everything is working as expected.
Modifications:
Add testcase.
Result:
Test to verify expected behaviour.
Motivation:
Unpooled.wrap(byte[]...) and Unpooled.wrap(ByteBuffer...) currently
allocate/copy an intermediate ByteBuf ArrayList and array, which can be
avoided.
Modifications:
- Define new internal ByteWrapper interface and add a CompositeByteBuf
constructor which takes a ByteWrapper with an array of the type that it
wraps, and modify the appropriate Unpooled.wrap(...) methods to take
advantage of it
- Tidy up other constructors in CompositeByteBuf to remove duplication
and misleading len arg (which is really an end offset into provided
array)
Result:
Less allocation/copying when wrapping byte[] and ByteBuffer arrays,
tidier code.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8442 reported that we fail to build a SslContext when an invalid cipher is used with netty-tcnative-boringssl-static, while it worked before. This test verifies that this is now consistent with all other SSLEngine implementations.
Modifications:
Add test-case to verify consistent behaviour
Result:
More tests to assert consistent behaviour across SSLEngine implementations
