Motivation:
HAProxyMessage should be released as it contains a list of TLV which hold a ByteBuf, otherwise, it may cause memory leaks.
Modification:
- Let HAProxyMessage extend AbstractReferenceCounted
- Adjust tests.
Result:
Fixes#9201
Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation: Today when Netty encounters a general error while decoding
it treats this as a decoder exception. However, for fatal causes this
should not be treated as such, instead the fatal error should be carried
up the stack without the callee having to unwind causes. This was
probably done for byte to byte message decoder but is now done for all
decoders.
Modifications: Instead of translating any error to a decoder exception,
we let those unwind out the stack (note that finally blocks still
execute) except in places where an event needs to fire where we fire
with the error instead of wrapping in a decoder exception.
Result: Fatal errors will not be treated as innocent decoder exceptions.
Motivation:
The current PROXY protocol implementation does not have support for optional Type-Length-Value fields. This pull requests adds the TLV values as specified in the PROXY protocol specification (http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt) and adds support for arbitrary TLVs.
Modifications:
The existing HAProxyMessage implements an additional TLV reading operation. A small bug in the AF_UNIX reader which didn’t set the reader index correctly was also fixed.
Result:
The PROXY protocol supports TLVs
