Motivation:
There is currently no epoll based DatagramChannel. We should add one to make the set of provided channels complete and also to be able to offer better performance compared to the NioDatagramChannel once SO_REUSEPORT is implemented.
Modifications:
Add implementation of DatagramChannel which uses epoll. This implementation does currently not support multicast yet which will me implemented later on. As most users will not use multicast anyway I think it is fair to just add the EpollDatagramChannel without the support for now. We shipped NioDatagramChannel without support earlier too ...
Result:
Be able to use EpollDatagramChannel for max. performance on linux
Motivation:
In linux kernel 3.9 a new featured named SO_REUSEPORT was introduced which allows to have multiple sockets bind to the same port and so handle the accept() of new connections with multiple threads. This can greatly improve the performance when you not to accept a lot of connections.
Modifications:
Implement SO_REUSEPORT via JNI
Result:
Be able to use the SO_REUSEPORT feature when using the EpollServerSocketChannel
Motivation:
The epoll testsuite tests the epoll transport only against itself (i.e. epoll x epoll only). We should test the epoll transport also against the well-tested NIO transport, too.
Modifications:
- Make SocketTestPermutation extensible and reusable so that the epoll testsuite can take advantage of it.
- Rename EpollTestUtils to EpollSocketTestPermutation and make it extend SocketTestPermutation.
- Overall clean-up of SocketTestPermutation
- Use Arrays.asList() for simplicity
- Add combo() method to remove code duplication
Result:
The epoll transport is now also tested against the NIO transport. SocketTestPermutation got cleaner.
Motivation:
Previous commit (2de65e25e9) introduced a regression that makes the epoll testsuite fail with an 'incompatible event loop' error.
Modifications:
Use the correct event loop type.
Result:
Build doesn't fail anymore.
Motivation:
We are seeing EpollSocketSslEchoTest does not finish itself while its I/O thread is busy. Jenkins should have terminated them when the global build timeout reaches, but Jenkins seems to fail to do so. What's more interesting is that Jenkins will start another job before the EpollSocketSslEchoTest is terminated, and Linux starts to oom-kill them, impacting the uptime of the CI service.
Modifications:
- Set timeout for all test cases in SocketSslEchoTest so that all SSL tests terminate themselves when they take too long.
- Fix a bug where the epoll testsuite uses non-daemon threads which can potentially prevent JVM from quitting.
- (Cleanup) Separate boss group and worker group just like we do for NIO/OIO transport testsuite.
Result:
Potentially more stable CI machine.
This transport use JNI (C) to directly make use of epoll in Edge-Triggered mode for maximal performance on Linux. Beside this it also support using TCP_CORK and produce less GC then the NIO transport using JDK NIO.
It only builds on linux and skip the build if linux is not used. The transport produce a jar which contains all needed .so files for 32bit and 64 bit. The user only need to include the jar as dependency as usually
to make use of it and use the correct classes.
This includes also some cleanup of @trustin
