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:
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.

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:
I'm not sure if trivial changes like this are interesting :-) But I
noticed that the PlatformDependent.maxDirectMemory0() method is called
twice unnecessarily during static initialization (on the default path at
least).
Modifications:
Use constant MAX_DIRECT_MEMORY already set to the same value instead of
calling maxDirectMemory0() again.
Result:
A surely imperceivable reduction in operations performed at startup.
Motivation
There is a cost to concatenating strings and calling methods that will be wasted if the Logger's level is not enabled.
Modifications
Check if Log level is enabled before producing log statement. These are just a few cases found by RegEx'ing in the code.
Result
Tiny bit more efficient code.
Motivation:
We should allow to schedule tasks with a delay up to Long.MAX_VALUE as we did pre 4.1.25.Final.
Modifications:
Just ensure we not overflow and put the correct max limits in place when schedule a timer. At worse we will get a wakeup to early and then schedule a new timeout.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7970.
Motivation:
On J9 / OpenJ9 netty initializes this value with 64M, even the direct accessible memory is actually unbounded.
Modifications:
Skip usage of VM.maxDirectMemory() on J9 / OpenJ9
Result:
More correct direct memory limit detection. Fixes#7654.
Motivation:
We did not guard against the case of calling malloc(0) when creating a ByteBuffer without a Cleaner. The problem is that malloc(0) can have different behaviour, it either return a null-pointer or a valid pointer that you can pass to free.
The real problem arise if Unsafe.allocateMemory(0) returns 0 and we use it as the memoryAddress of the ByteBuffer. The problem here is that native libraries test for 0 and handle it as a null-ptr. This is for example true in SSL.bioSetByteBuffer(...) which would throw a NPE when 0 is used as memoryAddress and so produced errors during SSL usage.
Modifications:
- Always allocate 1 byte as minimum (even if we ask for an empty buffer).
- Add unit test.
Result:
No more errors possible because of malloc(0).
Motivation:
When a buffer is over-released, the current error message of `IllegalReferenceCountException` is `refCnt: XXX, increment: XXX`, which is confusing. The correct message should be `refCnt: XXX, decrement: XXX`.
Modifications:
Pass `-decrement` to create `IllegalReferenceCountException`.
Result:
The error message will be `refCnt: XXX, decrement: XXX` when a buffer is over-released.
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
* 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:
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:
We missed to correctly record the stacktrace of the creation of an ResourceLeak record. This could either have the effect to log the wrote stacktrace for creation or not log a stacktrace at all if the object was dropped on the floor after it was created.
Modifications:
Correctly create a Record on creation of the object.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7781.
Motivation:
We recently introduced ObjectCleaner which can be used to ensure some cleanup action is done once an object becomes weakable reachable. We should use this in Recycler.WeakOrderQueue to reduce the overhead of using a finalizer() (which will cause the GC to process it two times).
Modifications:
Replace finalizer() usage with ObjectCleaner
Result:
Fixes [#7343]
Motivation:
We dont protect from overflow and so the timer may fire too early if a large timeout is used.
Modifications:
Add overflow guard and a test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7760.
Motivation:
It is not clear why Unsafe is unavailable when it is explicitly
disabled, or when Netty thinks it is running on Android.
Modification:
Change the "has" fields and methods to be causes. A null cause
means Unsafe is present. This catches all possible reason why
Unsafe might not be available.
Result:
Easier to debug Netty start up when logging cannot be turned on.
Motivation:
DefaultPromise's internal state depends upon specific Signal objects. These Signal objects can be used externally which causes the DefaultPromise object API to not function correct and state to become corrupted.
Modifications:
- DefaultPromise shouldn't depend upon Signal for its internal state
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7707
Motivation:
The Recycler currently retains 32k objects per thread by default. The Recycler is used in more than just one place and may result in large amounts of memory bloat if spikes of traffic are observed.
Modifications:
- Reduce the Recyclers default capacity from 32k to 4k.
Result:
- Lower default capacity of the Recycler and less memory retained.
Motivation:
Some java binaries include android classes on their classpath, even
if they aren't actually android. When this is true, `Unsafe` no
longer works, disabling the Epoll functionality. A sample case is
for binaries that use the j2objc library.
Modifications:
Check the `java.vm.name` instead of the classpath. Numerous
Google-internal Android libraries / binaries check this property
rather than the class path.
It is believed this is safe and works with bother ART and Dalvik
VMs, safe for Robolectric, and j2objc.
Results:
Unusually built java server binaries can still use Netty Epoll.
Motivation:
Currently if user call set/remove/set/remove many times, it will create multiple cleaner task for same index. It may cause OOM due to long live thread will have more and more task in LIVE_SET.
Modification:
Add flag to avoid recreating tasks.
Result:
Only create 1 clean task. But use more space of indexedVariables.
Motivation:
Reflective setAccessible(true) will produce scary warnings on the console when using java9+, while netty still works. That said users may feel uncomfortable with these warnings, we should not try to do it by default when using java9+.
Modifications:
Add io.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible system property which controls if setAccessible(...) will be used. By default it will bet set to false when using java9+.
Result:
Fixes [#7254].
Motivation:
The methods implement io.netty.util.concurrent.Future#cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning) which actually ignored the param mayInterruptIfRunning.We need to add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Modifications:
Add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Result:
People who call the `cancel` method will be more clear about the effect of `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Motivation:
The ObjectCleanerThread must be a daemon thread as otherwise we may block the JVM from exit. By using a daemon thread we basically give the same garantees as the JVM when it comes to cleanup of resources (as the GC threads are also daemon threads and the CleanerImpl uses a deamon thread as well in Java9+).
Modifications:
Change ObjectCleanThread to be a daemon thread.
Result:
JVM shutdown will always be able to complete. Fixed [#7617].
Motivation:
In environments with a security manager, the reflective access to get the reference to
Throwable#addSuppressed can cause issues that result in Netty failing to load. The main
motivation in this pull request is to remove the use of reflection to prevent issues in
these environments.
Modifications:
ThrowableUtil no longer uses Class#getDeclaredMembers to get the Method that references
Throwable#addSuppressed and instead guards the call to Throwable#addSuppressed with a
Java version check.
Additionally, a annotation was added that suppresses the animal sniffer java16 signature
check on the given method. The benefit of the annotation is that it limits the exclusion
of Throwable to just the ThrowableUtil class and has string text indicating the reason
for suppressing the java16 signature check.
Result:
Netty no longer requires the use of Class#getDeclaredMethod for ThrowableUtil and will
work in environments restricted by a security manager without needing to grant reflection
permissions.
Fixes#7614
Motivation:
In a few classes, Netty starts a thread and then sets the context classloader of these threads
to prevent classloader leaks. The Thread#setContextClassLoader method is a privileged method in
that it requires permissions to be executed when there is a security manager in place. Unless
these calls are wrapped in a doPrivileged block, they will fail in an environment with a security
manager and restrictive policy in place.
Modifications:
Wrap the calls to Thread#setContextClassLoader in a AccessController#doPrivileged block.
Result:
After this change, the threads can set the context classloader without any errors in an
environment with a security manager and restrictive policy in place.
