* Decouble EventLoop details from the IO handling for each transport to allow easy re-use of code and customization
Motiviation:
As today extending EventLoop implementations to add custom logic / metrics / instrumentations is only possible in a very limited way if at all. This is due the fact that most implementations are final or even package-private. That said even if these would be public there are the ability to do something useful with these is very limited as the IO processing and task processing are very tightly coupled. All of the mentioned things are a big pain point in netty 4.x and need improvement.
Modifications:
This changeset decoubled the IO processing logic from the task processing logic for the main transport (NIO, Epoll, KQueue) by introducing the concept of an IoHandler. The IoHandler itself is responsible to wait for IO readiness and process these IO events. The execution of the IoHandler itself is done by the SingleThreadEventLoop as part of its EventLoop processing. This allows to use the same EventLoopGroup (MultiThreadEventLoupGroup) for all the mentioned transports by just specify a different IoHandlerFactory during construction.
Beside this core API change this changeset also allows to easily extend SingleThreadEventExecutor / SingleThreadEventLoop to add custom logic to it which then can be reused by all the transports. The ideas are very similar to what is provided by ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (that is part of the JDK). This allows for example things like:
* Adding instrumentation / metrics:
* how many Channels are registered on an SingleThreadEventLoop
* how many Channels were handled during the IO processing in an EventLoop run
* how many task were handled during the last EventLoop / EventExecutor run
* how many outstanding tasks we have
...
...
* Implementing custom strategies for choosing the next EventExecutor / EventLoop to use based on these metrics.
* Use different Promise / Future / ScheduledFuture implementations
* decorate Runnable / Callables when submitted to the EventExecutor / EventLoop
As a lot of functionalities are folded into the MultiThreadEventLoopGroup and SingleThreadEventLoopGroup this changeset also removes:
* AbstractEventLoop
* AbstractEventLoopGroup
* EventExecutorChooser
* EventExecutorChooserFactory
* DefaultEventLoopGroup
* DefaultEventExecutor
* DefaultEventExecutorGroup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8514 .
Motivation:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap() is no longer needed so it could be easily removed and new ConcurrentHashMap<>() inlined instead of invoking PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap().
Modification:
Use ConcurrentHashMap provided by the JDK directly.
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:
Replace "if else" conditions with string switch. It is easier to read the code, for large "if else" constructions switch also could be faster.
Modification:
Replaced "if else" with a string switch.
Result:
Use new language features
Motivation:
The concurrent set is present in Java 8 and above so we can use it instead of own implementation.
Modification:
io.netty.utik.internal.ConcurrentSet replaced with ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet().
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
While we are not yet quite sure if we want to require Java11 as minimum we are at least sure we want to use java8 as minimum.
Modifications:
Change minimum version to java8 and update some tests which failed compilation after this change.
Result:
Use Java8 as minimum and be able to use Java8 features.
Motiviation:
Because of how we implemented the registration / deregistration of an EventLoop it was not possible to wrap an EventLoop implementation and use it with a Channel.
Modification:
- Introduce EventLoop.Unsafe which is responsible for the actual registration.
- Move validation of EventLoop / Channel combo to the EventLoop
- Add unit test that verifies that wrapping works
Result:
Be able to wrap an EventLoop and so add some extra functionality.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler should report write operation as failed
in case *any* chunked was not written. Right now this is not
true for the last chunk.
Modifications:
* Check if the appropriate write operation was succesfull when
reporting the last chunk
* Skip writing chunks if the write operation was already marked
as "done"
* Test cases to cover write failures when dealing with chunked input
Result:
Fix https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8700
Motivation:
At the moment it’s possible to have a Channel in Netty that is not registered / assigned to an EventLoop until register(...) is called. This is suboptimal as if the Channel is not registered it is also not possible to do anything useful with a ChannelFuture that belongs to the Channel. We should think about if we should have the EventLoop as a constructor argument of a Channel and have the register / deregister method only have the effect of add a Channel to KQueue/Epoll/... It is also currently possible to deregister a Channel from one EventLoop and register it with another EventLoop. This operation defeats the threading model assumptions that are wide spread in Netty, and requires careful user level coordination to pull off without any concurrency issues. It is not a commonly used feature in practice, may be better handled by other means (e.g. client side load balancing), and therefore we propose removing this feature.
Modifications:
- Change all Channel implementations to require an EventLoop for construction ( + an EventLoopGroup for all ServerChannel implementations)
- Remove all register(...) methods from EventLoopGroup
- Add ChannelOutboundInvoker.register(...) which now basically means we want to register on the EventLoop for IO.
- Change ChannelUnsafe.register(...) to not take an EventLoop as parameter (as the EventLoop is supplied on custruction).
- Change ChannelFactory to take an EventLoop to create new Channels and introduce ServerChannelFactory which takes an EventLoop and one EventLoopGroup to create new ServerChannel instances.
- Add ServerChannel.childEventLoopGroup()
- Ensure all operations on the accepted Channel is done in the EventLoop of the Channel in ServerBootstrap
- Change unit tests for new behaviour
Result:
A Channel always has an EventLoop assigned which will never change during its life-time. This ensures we are always be able to call any operation on the Channel once constructed (unit the EventLoop is shutdown). This also simplifies the logic in DefaultChannelPipeline a lot as we can always call handlerAdded / handlerRemoved directly without the need to wait for register() to happen.
Also note that its still possible to deregister a Channel and register it again. It's just not possible anymore to move from one EventLoop to another (which was not really safe anyway).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8513.
Motivation:
Users who want to construct a `FlushConsolidationHandler` with a default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` but non-default `consolidateWhenNoReadInProgress` may benefit from having an easy way to get the default "flush after flushes" count.
Modifications:
- Moved default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` value to a public constant.
- Adjusted Javadoc accordingly.
Result:
Default `explicitFlushAfterFlushes` is accessible to callers.
Motivation:
During some other work I noticed we do not have any tests to ensure we correctly use SSLSessionBindingEvent. We should add some testing.
Modifications:
- Added unit test to verify we correctly implement it.
- Ignore the test when using Conscrypt as it not correctly implements it.
Result:
More tests for custom SSL impl.
Motivation:
We missed to skip a few tests that depend on the KeyManagerFactory if the used OpenSSL version / flavor not support it.
Modifications:
Add missing overrides.
Result:
Testsuite also passes for example when using LibreSSL.
Motivation:
In windows if the project is in a path that contains whitespace,
resources cannot be accessed and tests fail.
Modifications:
Adds ResourcesUtil.java in netty-common. Tests use ResourcesUtil.java to access a resource.
Result:
Being able to build netty in a path containing whitespace
Motivation:
SSLSession.putValue / getValue / removeValue / getValueNames must be thread-safe as it may be called from multiple threads. This is also the case in the OpenJDK implementation.
Modifications:
Guard with synchronized (this) blocks to keep the memory overhead low as we do not expect to have these called frequently.
Result:
SSLSession implementation is thread-safe.
Motivation:
ByteBuf supports “marker indexes”. The intended use case for these is if a speculative operation (e.g. decode) is in process the user can “mark” and interface and refer to it later if the operation isn’t successful (e.g. not enough data). However this is rarely used in practice,
requires extra memory to maintain, and introduces complexity in the state management for derived/pooled buffer initialization, resizing, and other operations which may modify reader/writer indexes.
Modifications:
Remove support for marking and adjust testcases / code.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8535.
Motivation:
If two requests from the same IP are reached at the same time, `connected.contains(remoteIp)` may return false in both threads.
Modifications:
Check if there is already a connection with the same IP using return values.
Result:
Become thread safe.
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
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.
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.
* 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:
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:
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 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:
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:
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:
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
Motivation:
201e984cb3 added support to use native TLSv1.3 support even with Java versions prior to 11. For this we try to detect if we need to wrap the used KeyManager or not. This testing code did create an X509Certificate[1] but does not correctly also set the certficiate on index 0. While this should be harmless we should better do the right thing and set it.
Modifications:
Correctly init the array.
Result:
Cleaner and more correct code.
Motivation:
0ddc62cec0 added support for TLSv1.3 when using openssl 1.1.1. Now that BoringSSL chromium-stable branch supports it as well we can also support it with netty-tcnative-boringssl-static.
During this some unit tests failed with BoringSSL which was caused by not correctly handling flush() while the handshake is still in progress.
Modification:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative version which also supports TLSv1.3 when using BoringSSL
- Correctly handle flush() when done while the handshake is still in progress in all cases.
Result:
Easier for people to enable TLSv1.3 when using native SSL impl.
Ensure flush() while handshake is in progress will always be honored.
Motivation:
OpenSsl used SelfSignedCertificate in its static init block to detect if KeyManagerFactory is supported. Unfortunally this only works when either sun.security.x509.* can be accessed or bouncycastle is on the classpath.
We should not depend on either of it.
This came up in https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/issues/404#issuecomment-431551890.
Modifications:
Just directly use the bytes to generate the X509Certificate and so not depend on sun.security.x509.* / bouncycastle.
Result:
Correctly be able to detect if KeyManagerFactory can be supported in all cases.
Motivation:
We had put some workaround in our tests due a bug in the Java11 implementation of TLSv1.3. This was now fixes as part of 11.0.1.
See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211067.
Modifications:
Remove workaround in SSL tests.
Result:
Run all tests with supported TLS version.
Motivation:
At the moment it's only possible to use TLSv1.3 with netty-tcnative if Java 11 is used. It should be possible to do so even with Java 8, 9 and 10.
Modification:
Add a workaround to be able to use TLSv1.3 also when using Java version prior to Java 11 and the default X509ExtendedTrustManager is used.
Result:
Be able to use TLSv1.3 also with past versions of Java.
Motivation:
When the constructor of OpenSslEngine threw we could end up to self call SSL_free by ourself and then have the finalizer do the same which may lead to double free-ing and so SIGSEV.
Modifications:
Just call shutdown() when the constructor throws and so ensure SSL_free is guarded correctly in the finalizer.
Result:
No more SIGSEV possible.
Motivation:
TLSv1.3 support is included in java11 and is also supported by OpenSSL 1.1.1, so we should support when possible.
Modifications:
- Add support for TLSv1.3 using either the JDK implementation or the native implementation provided by netty-tcnative when compiled against openssl 1.1.1
- Adjust unit tests for semantics provided by TLSv1.3
- Correctly handle custom Provider implementations that not support TLSv1.3
Result:
Be able to use TLSv1.3 with netty.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext provides public constructors to wrap an existing `javax.net.ssl.SSLContext`.
Sadly, some options combinations are not possible with the existing constructors, eg:
* protocols is not exposed and always forced to null, so default protocols are always enforced
* startTls is not exposed and always forced to false
Modification:
Add full constructor that take protocols and startTls parameters.
Result:
It's possible to create a JdkSslContext from an existing SSLContext and still have control over protocols and startTls
Motivation:
It is possible that a client is unable to locate a certificate alias given the list of issuers and key types. In this case the X509KeyManager
will return a null which when past to the OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider implementation may produce a NPE. If no matching alias could be found we should not
call OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider at all which is also consistent what OpenJDK does.
Modifications:
- Add null check before calling OpenSslKeyMaterialProvider
- Add unit test.
Result:
No more NPE caused by passing null as client alias.
Motivation:
Before when on server-side we just called the X509KeyManager methods when handshake() was called the first time which is not quite correct as we may not have received the full SSL hello / handshake and so could not extra for example the SNI hostname that was requested.
OpenSSL exposes the SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb function which allows to set a callback which is executed at the correct moment, so we should use it. This also allows us to support more methods of ExtendedSSLSession easily.
Modifications:
- Make use of new methods exposed by netty-tcnative since https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/388 to ensure we select the key material at the correct time.
- Implement more methods of ExtendedOpenSslSession
- Add unit tests to ensure we are able to retrieve various things on server-side in the X509KeyManager and so verify it is called at the correct time.
- Simplify code by using new netty-tcnative methods.
Result:
More correct implementation for server-side usage and more complete implemented of ExtendedSSLSession.
Motivation:
a208f6dc7c added a testcase which uses hostname validation which may not be supported by OpenSSL depending on the version that is used. We should check first before we try to use it.
Modifications:
Add assumeTrue(...) check to ensure hostname validation is supported before trying to run the test.
Result:
No more test-failures on OpenSSL versions < 1.0.2.
Motivation:
When a X509TrustManager is used while configure the SslContext the JDK automatically does some extra checks during validation of provided certs by the remote peer. We should do the same when our native implementation is used.
Modification:
- Automatically wrap a X509TrustManager and so do the same validations as the JDK does.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
More consistent behaviour. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6664.
Motivation:
4d1458604a did fix some leaks in SniClientTest but missed the ones in SniClientJava8TestUtil.
Modifications:
Correctly release SslContext.
Result:
No more leaks in SNI tests.
Motivation:
I noticed that we had some errors showing up in a test (which did not fail it tho) because we tried to full-fill the promise multiples times.
Modifications:
Use trySuccess(...) as we may produce multiple exceptions.
Result:
Less errors during test-run.
Motivation:
Java9 added getStatusResponses() to ExtendedSSLSession which we should correctly support when possible.
Modifications:
Implement the method correctly.
Result:
More complete and correct implementation.
Motivation:
6ed7c6c75d added support for ExtendedOpenSslSession but we did not override getStatusResponses(). This lead to test failures on java9.
Modifications:
Implement ExtendedOpenSslSession.getStatusResponses() so it just returns an empty list.
Result:
Test pass again on Java9.
Motivation:
6ed7c6c75d added a test which blindly assumed we can use a KeyManagerFactory all the time. This is only true if have OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later, which may not be the case.
Modifications:
Only use KeyManagerFactory in test if the OpenSSL version does support it.
Result:
More robust tests.
Motivation:
When an ExtendedSSLSession is used its possible to do more strict checking of the keys during handshake. We should do this whenever possible.
Modification:
- Return an ExtendedSSLSession when using client-mode and Java7+
- Add unit test
- Simplify unit tests
Result:
More consistent behaviour.
* PemPrivateKey.toPem(...) should throw IllegalArgumentException when PrivateKey which does not support encoding is used.
Motivation:
At the moment when a PrivateKey is used that does not support encoding we throw a NPE when trying to convert the key. We should better throw an IllegalArgumentException with the details about what key we tried to encode.
Modifications:
- Check if PrivateKey.getEncoded() returns null and if so throw an IllegalArgumentException
- Add unit test.
Result:
Better handling of non-supported PrivateKey implementations.
Motivation:
5aaa16b24c introduced a testcase for specific ciphersuites and checked if these are supported by our native implementation before running it. Unfortunally this is not good enough as even on the JDK it may not be supported on various JDK versions (like Java7). Beside this the test leaked buffers.
Modifications:
- Correctly check if ciphersuite is supported on each SslProvider before trying to run test.
- Fix buffer leaks.
Result:
Testsuite pass again on Java7 and others when -Pleak is used.
Motivation:
ea626ef8c3 added more debug logging but we can even include a bit more.
Modifications:
Always log the error number as well.
Result:
More informations for debugging SSL errors.
Motivation:
We should log a bit more details about why we shutdown the SSL.
Modifications:
Add the return value of SSL_get_error(...) as well in debug mode.
Result:
More logging to make it easier to understand why an SSL error happened.
Motivation
Ensure classes of cipher suites continue working between releases. Adding just a DHE check for now as it caused #8165 but this test can be expaned to other suites.
Modifications
Adding an unit test that checks for the presence of a cipher suite.
Result
Prevent #8165 from happening in the future.
Motivation:
OpenSSL itself has an abstraction which allows you to customize some things. For example it is possible to load the PrivateKey from the engine. We should support this.
Modifications:
Add two new static methods to OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory which allow to create an OpenSslX509KeyManagerFactory that loads its PrivateKey via the OpenSSL Engine directly.
Result:
More flexible usage of OpenSSL possible
Motivation:
In OpenSslCertificateException we should ensure we try to load netty-tcnative before trying to use any class from it as otherwise it may throw an error due missing linking of the native libs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we call OpenSsl.isAvailable() before we try to use netty-tcnative for validation
- Add testcase.
Result:
No more errors causing by not loading native libs before trying to use these.
* Rename SslHandler.close(...) to closeOutbound(...) as it is still useful and delegate to the methods.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user may want to send a close_notify without closing the underlying Channel. For this we offered the SslHandler.close(...) methods which were marked as deeprecated. We should offer an way to still do this without the user calling deprecated methods.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51710231/using-nettys-sslhandlerclosechannelhandlercontext-channelpromise/51753742#comment90555949_51753742 .
Modifications:
- Remove deprecation of the SslHandler.close(...) method that exactly allows this and rename these to closeOutbound(...) as this is more clear.
- Add close(...) methods that delegate to these and mark these as deprecated.
Result:
Be able to send close_notify without closing the Channel.
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
* 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:
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:
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.
Motiviation:
During profiling it showed that a lot of time during the handshake is spent by parsing the key / chain over and over again. We should cache these parsed structures if possible to reduce the overhead during handshake.
Modification:
- Use new APIs provided by https://github.com/netty/netty-tcnative/pull/360.
- Introduce OpensslStaticX509KeyManagerFactory which allows to wrap another KeyManagerFactory and caches the key material provided by it.
Result:
In benchmarks handshake times have improved by 30 %.
Motivation:
Some of the cipher protocol combos that were used are no longer included in more recent OpenSSL releases.
Modifications:
Remove some combos that were used for testing.
Result:
Tests also pass in more recent OpenSSL versions (1.1.0+).
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:
SslHandlerTest tried to get access to the SslHandler in the pipeline via pipeline.get(...) which may return null if the channel was already closed and so the pipeline was teared down.
This showed up in a test run as:
```
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test set: io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandlerTest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

```
Modifications:
Use an AtomicReference to propagate the SslHandler instance to the outer scope.
Result:
No more NPE.
Motivation:
When we build the key-material we should use the ByteBufAllocator used by the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine when possible.
Modifications:
Whenever we have access to the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine we use its allocator.
Result:
Use correct allocator
Motivation:
We currently have only interopt tests for Conscrypt, we should also have non-interopt tests.
Modifications:
Add ConscryptSslEngineTest
Result:
More tests
Motivation:
We previously did not correctly take into account when we could not wrap (and so produce) the full SSL record with an alert when the SSLEngine was closed.
There are two problems here:
- If we call wrap(...) with an empty dst buffer after closeOutbound() was called we will not notify the user if we could not store the whole SSLRecord into the dst buffer and so we may produce incomplete SSLRecords
Modifications:
Add unit test which failed before.
Result:
Correctly handle the case when the dst buffer is not big enough and and alert needs to be produced.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7943 had a bug which caused to not have the argument passed to the delegating method.
Modifications:
Add argument to release call.
Result:
Correctly delegate method.
Motivation:
Some of the tests failed when using BoringSSL as some protocol / cipher combinations are not supported and it uses a different alert when the cert is not valid yet.
Modification:
- Remove protocol / cipher combos that are not supported by BoringSSL
- Test for different alert when using BoringSSL
Result:
Not test failures when using BoringSSL.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7941 proved that its easy to not correctly clear the error stack sometimes. We should do carefully test this.
Modifications:
Add a new SSLEngine wrapper that is used during tests, which verifies that the error stack is empty after each method call.
Result:
Better testing.
Motivation:
We sometimes did not correctly detect when a protocol is not enabled when using netty-tcnative as we did not take into account when the option flag is 0 (as for example in BoringSSL for SSLv2).
Modifications:
- Correctly take an option flag with 0 into account.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7935.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly clear the error stack in one case when using the ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine. Because of this it was possible to pick up an error on an unrelated operation.
Modifications:
- Correctly clear the stack
- Add verification of empty error stack to tests.
Result:
Not possible to observe unrelated errors.
Motivation:
We had a bug-report that claimed the src buffer used by OpenSslEngine will be zero out.
Modifications:
Add testcase to ensure correct behaviour
Result:
Testcase for https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7753
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to disable native transports / native ssl to debug a problem. We should allow to do so with a system property so people not need to adjust code for this.
Modifications:
Add system properties which allow to disable native transport and native ssl.
Result:
Easier to disable native code usage without code changes.
Motivation:
Some `if` statements contains common parts that can be extracted.
Modifications:
Extract common parts from `if` statements.
Result:
Less code and bytecode. The code is simpler and more clear.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.doFlush is called twice from the same write if the channelWritabilityChanged event is invoked during the write. The buffer is already written so no extra data is sent on the socket but it causes the "promise already done" exception to be thrown.
This error happens only when the message is not ChunkedInput.
Modification:
Clear out the currentWrite reference before the ctx.write call, such that next time when the method is invoked the same object is not used twice.
Result:
Fixes#7819
Motivation:
We should only schedule one timeout to wait for the close notify to be done.
Modifications:
Keep track of if we already scheduled a timeout for close notify and if so not schedule another one.
Result:
No duplicated timeouts.
Motivation:
LibreSSL removed support for NPN in its 2.6.1+ releases.
Modifications:
Skip NPN tests in libressl 2.6.1+
Result:
Be able to run netty tests against libressl 2.6.1+ as well.
Motivation:
We had some code duplication in ChunkedWriteHandler.
Modifications:
Factor out duplicated code into private methods and reuse it.
Result:
Less code duplication.
Motivation:
When using the JdkSslEngine, the ALPN class is used keep a reference
to the engine. In the event that the TCP connection fails, the
SSLEngine is not removed from the map, creating a memory leak.
Modification:
Always close the SSLEngine regardless of if the channel became
active. Also, record the SSLEngine was closed in all places.
Result:
Fixes: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/3080
Motivation:
Android 5.0 sometimes not correctly update the bytesConsumed of the SSLEngineResult when consuming data from the input ByteBuffer. This will lead to handshake failures.
Modifications:
Add a workaround for Android 5.0
Result:
Be able to use netty on Android 5.0 by fixing https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7758 .
Motivation:
When SSL handshake fails, the connection should be closed. This is not true anymore after 978a46c.
Modifications:
- Ensure we always flush and close the channel on handshake failure.
- Add testcase.
Result:
Fixes [#7724].
Motivation:
Profiling tcnative SSL code showed a non trivial percentage (1%)
of time spent in JNI code for InstaceOf. This turned out to be
from `Buffer.address` which makes a JNI call, which safely checks
on each call that The ByteBuffer is direct.
Modification:
Prefer using the address field of the pojo rather than looking it
up with JNI. This is the same approach taken by the `OpenSsl`
class.
Result:
Less JNI overhead
Motivation:
The code did reflection every method call which made the code slower and
harder to read with additional cases to consider.
Modifications:
Instead of loading the method and then throwing it away, save the Method
reference instead of the Class reference. Then also use more precise
exception handling for the method invocation.
Result:
Simpler, speedier code.
Motivation:
Sometimes, it would be convenient to be able to easily enable all
supported cipher suites, regardless of security.
Currently, the only way it to retrieve all supported ciphers and pass
them explicitly.
Modification:
Introduce a new IdentityCipherSuiteFilter singleton that defaults to
supportedCiphers instead of defaultCiphers when ciphers are null.
Result:
Convenient way to enabled all supported cipher suites.
Motivation:
In google/conscrypt#313 the Conscrypt.Engines class was removed in favor
of methods directly on Conscrypt and overloading. The Conscrypt-using
code in Netty used reflection to access the old API, that doesn't exist
anymore. And thus recent versions of Conscrypt fail to enable things
like ALPN with Netty.
Modifications:
Instead of calling Conscrypt.Engines.isConscrypt, call
Conscrypt.isConscrypt.
Result:
Conscrypt detected properly at runtime.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext builds the list of supported cipher suites, but assumes that ciphers prefixed with SSL_ and TLS_ will be interchangeable. However this is not the case and only applies to a small subset of ciphers. This results in the JdkSslContext attempting to use unsupported ciphers.
Modifications:
- When building the list of ciphers in JdkSslContext we should first check if the engine supports the TLS_ prefix cipher.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7673
Motivation:
SslHandler#decode methods catch any exceptions and attempt to wrap
before shutting down the engine. The intention is to write any alerts
which the engine may have pending. However the wrap process may also
attempt to write user data, and may also complete the associated
promises. If this is the case, and a promise listener closes the channel
then SslHandler may later propagate a SslHandshakeCompletionEvent user
event through the pipeline. Since the channel has already been closed
the user may no longer be paying attention to user events.
Modifications:
- Sslhandler#decode should first fail the associated handshake promise
and propagate the SslHandshakeCompletionEvent before attempting to wrap
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7639
Motivation:
Will allow easy removal of deprecated methods in future.
Modification:
Replaced ctx.attr(), ctx.hasAttr() with ctx.channel().attr(), ctx.channel().hasAttr().
Result:
No deprecated ctx.attr(), ctx.hasAttr() methods usage.
Motivation:
We recently removed support for renegotiation, but there are still some hooks to attempt to allow remote initiated renegotiation to succeed. The remote initated renegotiation can be even more problematic from a security stand point and should also be removed.
Modifications:
- Remove state related to remote iniated renegotiation from OpenSslEngine
Result:
More renegotiation code removed from the OpenSslEngine code path.
Motivation:
When using netty on android or with for example a IBM JVM it may not be able to build a SslContext as we hardcoded the use of JKS and SunX509 (which both may not be present).
Modifications:
- Use the default algorithm / type which can be override via a System property
- Remove System property check as its redundant with KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm()
Result:
More portable code. Fixes [#7546].
Motivation:
SSL.setState() has gone from openssl 1.1. Calling it is, and probably
always has been, incorrect. Doing renogitation in this manner is
potentially insecure. There have been at least two insecure
renegotiation vulnerabilities in users of the OpenSSL library.
Renegotiation is not necessary for correct operation of the TLS protocol.
BoringSSL has already eliminated this functionality, and the tests
(now deleted) were not running on BoringSSL.
Modifications:
If the connection setup has completed, always return that
negotiation is not supported. Previously this was done only if we were
the client.
Remove the tests for this functionality.
Fixes#6320.
Motivation:
We tried to call `select` after we closed the channel (and so removed all the handlers from the pipeline) when we detected a non SSL record. This would cause an exception like this:
```
Caused by: java.util.NoSuchElementException: io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler
at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.getContextOrDie(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:1098)
at io.netty.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline.replace(DefaultChannelPipeline.java:506)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler.replaceHandler(SniHandler.java:133)
at io.netty.handler.ssl.SniHandler.onLookupComplete(SniHandler.java:113)

at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.callDecode(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:428)
... 40 more
```
Modifications:
- Ensure we rethrow the NotSslRecordException when detecting it (and closing the channel). This will also ensure we not call `select(...)`
- Not catch `Throwable` but only `Exception`
- Add test case.
Result:
Correctly handle the case of an non SSL record.
* FIX: force a read operation for peer instead of self
Motivation:
When A is in `writeInProgress` and call self close, A should
`finishPeerRead` for B(A' peer).
Modifications:
Call `finishPeerRead` with peer in `LocalChannel#doClose`
Result:
Clear confuse of code logic
* FIX: preserves order of close after write in same event loop
Motivation:
If client and server(client's peer channel) are in same event loop, client writes data to
server in `ChannelActive`. Server receives the data and write it
back. The client's read can't be triggered becasue client's
`ChannelActive` is not finished at this point and its `readInProgress`
is false. Then server closes itself, it will also close the client's
channel. And client has no chance to receive the data.
Modifications:
1. Add a test case to demonstrate the problem
2. When `doClose` peer, we always call
`peer.eventLoop().execute()` and `registerInProgress` is not needed.
3. Remove test case
`testClosePeerInWritePromiseCompleteSameEventLoopPreservesOrder`. This
test case can't pass becasue of this commit. IMHO, I think it is OK,
becasue it is reasonable that the client flushes the data to socket,
then server close the channel without received the data.
4. For mismatch test in SniClientTest, the client should receive server's alert before closed(caused by server's close)
Result:
The problem is gone.
Motivation:
At the moment its a bit "hacky" to retrieve the hostname that was used during SNI as you need to hold a reference to SniHandler and then call hostname() once the selection is done. It would be better to fire an event to let the user know we did the selection.
Modifications:
Add a SniCompletionEvent that can be used to get the hostname that was used to do the selection and was included in the SNI extension.
Result:
Easier usage of SNI.
Motivation:
We only want to log for the particular case when debug logging is enabled so we not need to try to match the message if this is not the case.
Modifications:
Guard with logger.isDebugEnabled()
Result:
Less overhead when debug logging is not enabled.
Motivation:
SslHandler will do aggregation of writes by default in an attempt to improve goodput and reduce the number of discrete buffers which must be accumulated. However if aggregation is not possible then a CompositeByteBuf is used to accumulate multiple buffers. Using a CompositeByteBuf doesn't provide any of the benefits of better goodput and in the case of small + large writes (e.g. http/2 frame header + data) this can reduce the amount of data that can be passed to writev by about half. This has the impact of increasing latency as well as reducing goodput.
Modifications:
- SslHandler should prefer copying instead of using a CompositeByteBuf
Result:
Better goodput (and potentially improved latency) at the cost of copy operations.
Motivation:
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are not set to
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES. Instead all available cipher suites are
enabled. This should happen only as a fallback.
Modifications:
Moved the line in the static initializer in OpenSsl which adds the
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES to the default enabled cipher suites up
before the fallback.
Result:
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are set to the
available ones of the SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES.
The default enabled cipher suites of the OpenSsl engine are only set to
all available cipher suites if no one of the
SslUtils#DEFAULT_CIPHER_SUITES is supported.
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:
We should not fire a SslHandshakeEvent if the channel is closed but the handshake was not started.
Modifications:
- Add a variable to SslHandler which tracks if an handshake was started yet or not and depending on this fire the event.
- Add a unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7262].
Motivation:
The behavior for SelectorFailureBehavior and SelectedListenerFailureBehavior enum values are not clear. Additional comments would clarify the expected behavior.
Modifications:
- Add comments for each value in SelectedListenerFailureBehavior and SelectorFailureBehavior which clarify the expected behavior
Result:
The behavior of SelectedListenerFailureBehavior and SelectorFailureBehavior are more clearly communicated.
Motivation:
At the moment use loops to run SslHandler tests with different SslProviders which is error-prone and also make it difficult to understand with which provider these failed.
Modifications:
- Move unit tests that should run with multiple SslProviders to extra class.
- Use junit Parameterized to run with different SslProvider combinations
Result:
Easier to understand which SslProvider produced test failures
complete
Motivation:
SslHandler removes a Buffer/Promise pair from
AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue when wrapping data. However it is possible
the SSLEngine will not consume the entire buffer. In this case
SslHandler adds the Buffer back to the queue, but doesn't add the
Promise back to the queue. This may result in the promise completing
immediately in finishFlush, and generally not correlating to the
completion of writing the corresponding Buffer
Modifications:
- AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue#addFirst should also support adding the
ChannelPromise
- In the event of a handshake timeout we should immediately fail pending
writes immediately to get a more accurate exception
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7378.
Motivation:
SslHandler only supports ByteBuf objects, but will not release objects of other types. SslHandler will also not release objects if its internal state is not correctly setup.
Modifications:
- Release non-ByteBuf objects in write
- Release all objects if the SslHandler queue is not setup
Result:
Less leaks in SslHandler.
Motivation:
HTTP/2 allows writes of 0 length data frames. However in some cases EMPTY_BUFFER is used instead of the actual buffer that was written. This may mask writes of released buffers or otherwise invalid buffer objects. It is also possible that if the buffer is invalid AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue will not release the aggregated buffer nor fail the associated promise.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2FrameCodec should take care to fail the promise, even if releasing the data throws
- AbstractCoalescingBufferQueue should release any aggregated data and fail the associated promise if something goes wrong during aggregation
Result:
More correct handling of invalid buffers in HTTP/2 code.
infinite loop
Motivation:
If SslHandler sets jdkCompatibilityMode to false and ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine sets jdkCompatibilityMode to true there is a chance we will get stuck in an infinite loop if the peer sends a TLS packet with length greater than 2^14 (the maximum length allowed in the TLS 1.2 RFC [1]). However there are legacy implementations which actually send larger TLS payloads than 2^14 (e.g. OpenJDK's SSLSessionImpl [2]) and in this case ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine will return BUFFER_OVERFLOW in an attempt to notify that a larger buffer is to be used, but if the buffer is already at max size this process will repeat indefinitely.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246#section-6.2.1
[2] http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/file/d5a00b1e8f78/src/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLSessionImpl.java#l793
Modifications:
- Support TLS payload sizes greater than 2^14 in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine
- ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine should throw an exception if a
BUFFER_OVERFLOW is impossible to rectify
Result:
No more infinite loop in ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine due to
BUFFER_OVERFLOW and large TLS payload lengths.
Motivation:
ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine.rejectRemoteInitiatedRenegotiation() is called in a finally block to ensure we always check for renegotiation. The problem here is that sometimes we will already shutdown the engine before we call the method which will lead to an NPE in this case as the ssl pointer was already destroyed.
Modifications:
Check that the engine is not destroyed yet before calling SSL.getHandshakeCount(...)
Result:
Fixes [#7353].
