Motivation:
Test was leaving composite buffers taken from the queue unreleased.
Modifications:
Make the test release buffers.
Result:
Nagging about leaked buffers should stop.
Motivation:
The MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE of SETTINGS is represented by
unsigned 32-bit value and this value isn't limited in RFC7540.
But in current implementation, its stored to int variable so
over 2^31-1 value is recognized as minus and handled as
PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Modifications:
If a value of MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is larger than 2^31-1, its
handled as 2^31-1
Result:
Over 2^31-1 MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is became acceptable
Motivation:
Slicing a mutable CompositeByteBuf is not the appropriate mechanism to use to track and release buffers that have been written to a channel.
In particular buffers passed over an Embedded or LocalChannel are retained after the ChannelPromise is completed and listening to the
promise to consolidate a CompositeBuffer breaks slices taken from the composite as the offset indices have changed.
In addition CoalescingBufferQueue handles taking arbitrarily sized slices of a sequence of buffers more efficiently.
Modifications:
Convert FlowControlledData to use a CoalescingBufferQueue to handle merging data writes.
Result:
HTTP2 works over LocalChannel and code is considerably simpler.
Motivation:
Sometimes people use a data frame with length 0 to end a stream(such as jetty http2-server). So it is possible that data.readableBytes and padding are all 0 for a data frame, and cause an IllegalArgumentException when calling flowController.consumeBytes.
Modifications:
Return false when numBytes == 0 instead of throwing IllegalArgumentException.
Result:
Fix IllegalArgumentException.
Motivation:
Simplifies writing code that needs to merge or slice a sequence of buffer & promise pairs into chunks of arbitrary sizes.
For example in HTTP2 we merge or split buffers across fixed-size DATA frame boundaries.
Modifications:
Add new utility class CoalescingBufferQueue
Result:
Following this change HTTP2 code will switch to use it instead of CompositeByteBuffer for DATA frame coalescing.
Motivation:
The problem is described in https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/605. Basically, when using `StreamBufferingEncoder` there is a chance of creating zombie streams that never get closed.
Modifications:
Change `Http2ConnectionHandler`'s `channelInactive` handling logic to shutdown the encoder/decoder before shutting down the active streams.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/605
Motivation:
While cherry-picked 11f9e9084b I changed the EmbeddedChannel implementation to not allow no ChannelHandlers when constructing it.
This was done by mistake.
Modifications:
Revert change and add unit test.
Result:
Restore old behavior.
Motivation:
When using an EmbeddedChannel often it either does inbound or outbound processing which means we only often need one queue.
Modifications:
Lazy init the inbound and outbound message queues.
Result:
Less memory usage.
Motivation:
When we detect a BUFFER_OVERFLOW we should just forward the already produced data and allocate a new buffer and NOT do any extra memory copies while trying to expand the buffer.
Modifications:
When a BUFFER_OVERFLOW is returned and some data was produced just fire this data through the pipeline and allocate a new buffer to read again.
Result:
Less memorycopies and so better performance.
Motivation:
A SSL_read is needed to ensure the bio buffer is flushed, for this we did a priming read. This can be removed in many cases. Also ensure we always fill as much as possible in the destination buffers.
Modifications:
- Only do priming read if capacity of all dsts buffers is zero
- Always produce as must data as possible in the dsts buffers.
Result:
Faster code.
Motivation:
Previous we called BIO_write until either everything was written into it or it returned an error, which meant that the buffer is full. This then needed a ERR_clear_error() call which is expensive.
Modifications:
Break out of writing loop once we detect that not everything was written and so the buffer is full.
Result:
Less overhead when writing more data then the internal buffer can take.
Motivation:
When BIO_write is called with an empty buffer it will return 0 for which we call ERR_clear_error(). This is not neccessary as we should just skip these buffers. This eliminates a lot of overhead.
Modifications:
Skip empty src buffers when call unwrap(...).
Result:
Less overhead for unwrap(...) when called with empty buffers.
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler missed to forward channelReadComplete(...) events.
Modifications:
Ensure we notify the next handler in the pipeline via ctx.fireChannelReadComplete().
Result:
Correctly forwarding of event.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 hello world example server should be expecting a FullHttpRequest when falling back to HTTP/1.x mode.
Modifications:
- HelloWorldHttp1Handler should process FullHttpRequestObjects
- Http2ServerInitializer should insert an HttpObjectAggregator into the pipeline if no upgrade was attempted
Result:
Responses from the HelloWorldHttp1Handler should only come after full HTTP requests are received.
Motivation:
The Http2FrameListener requires that the Http2FrameReader accumulate ByteBuf objects. There is currently no way to limit the amount of bytes that is accumulated.
Motiviation:
- DefaultHttp2FrameReader supports maxHeaderSize which will fail fast as soon as the maximum size is exceeded.
- DefaultHttp2HeadersDecoder will respect the return value of endHeaderBlock() and fail if the max size is exceeded.
Result:
Frames which carry header data now respect a maximum number of bytes that can be accumulated.
Motivation:
If server sends SETTINGS with ENABLE_PUSH, its handled as
PROTOCOL_ERROR in spite of the value. But the value specified to
0 may be allowed in RFC7540.
Modifications:
Check whether ENABLE_PUSH sent from a server is 0 or not.
Result:
When server specifies ENABLE_PUSH to 0 explicitly, client doesn't
handle it as PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Motivation:
If a user tries to access various informations on the OpenSslSession after the SSLEngine was closed it will not work if these were not accessed before as we lazy init most of them.
Modifications:
Directly populate the whole OpenSslSession once the handshake is complete and before the user is notified about it.
Result:
OpenSslSession informations are avaible until it is GC'ed.
Motivation:
At the moment we directly closed the Channel when an exception accoured durring initChannel(...) without giving the user any way to do extra or special handling.
Modifications:
Handle the exception in exceptionCaught(...) of the ChannelInitializer which will by default log and close the Channel. This way the user can override this.
Result:
More felixible handling of exceptions.
Motivation:
Currently in EmbeddedChannel we add the ChannelHandlers before the Channel is registered which leads to have the handlerAdded(...) callback
be called from outside the EventLoop and also prevent the user to obtain a reference to the EventLoop in the callback itself.
Modifications:
Delay adding ChannelHandlers until EmbeddedChannel is registered.
Result:
Correctly call handlerAdded(...) after EmbeddedChannel is registered.
Motivation:
If you set a ChannelHandler via ServerBootstrap.handler(...) it is added to the ChannelPipeline before the Channel is registered. This will lead to and IllegalStateException if a user tries to access the EventLoop in the ChannelHandler.handlerAdded(...) method.
Modifications:
Delay the adding of the ChannelHandler until the Channel was registered.
Result:
No more IllegalStateException.
Motivation:
As we modify the position of the passed in ByteBuffer's this methods are not thread-safe.
Modifications:
Duplicate the input ByteBuffers before copy the content to byte[].
Result:
Unpooled.copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer) and copiedBuffer(ByteBuffer...) is now thread-safe.
Motivation:
The javadoc of ByteBuf contained some out-dated code.
Modifications:
Update code example in javadoc to use netty 4+ API
Result:
Correct javadocs
Motivation:
FixedCompositeByteBuf does not properly implement a number of methods for
copying its content to direct buffers and output streams
Modifications:
Replace improper use of capacity() with readableBytes() when computing offesets during writes
Result:
Copying works correctly
Motivation:
NPE doesn't cause the tests to fail but should get fixed.
Modifications:
Modified the StreamBufferingEncoderTest to mock the ctx to return a promise.
Result:
Fixes#3905
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to detect if a ByteBuf contains a HAProxy header, for example if you want to write something like the PortUnification example.
Modifications:
- Add ProtocolDetectionResult which can be used as a return type for detecting different protocol.
- Add new method which allows to detect HA Proxy messages.
Result:
Easier to detect protocol.
Motivation:
We used ERR_get_error() to detect errors and missed to handle different errors. Also we missed to clear the error queue for a thread before invoke SSL operations,
this could lead to detecting errors on different OpenSslEngines then the one in which the error actual happened.
Modifications:
Explicit handle errors via SSL.get_error and clear the error code before SSL operations.
Result:
Correctly handle errors and no false-positives in different OpenSslEngines then the one which detected an error.
Motivation:
Coalescing many small writes into a larger DATA frame reduces framing overheads on the wire and reduces the number of calls to Http2FrameListeners on the remote side.
Delaying the write of WINDOW_UPDATE until flush allows for more consumed bytes to be returned as the aggregate of consumed bytes is returned and not the amount consumed when the threshold was crossed.
Modifications:
- Remote flow controller no longer immediately writes bytes when a flow-controlled payload is enqueued. Sequential data payloads are now merged into a single CompositeByteBuf which are written when 'writePendingBytes' is called.
- Listener added to remote flow-controller which observes written bytes per stream.
- Local flow-controller no longer immediately writes WINDOW_UPDATE when the ratio threshold is crossed. Now an explicit call to 'writeWindowUpdates' triggers the WINDOW_UPDATE for all streams who's ratio is exceeded at that time. This results in
fewer window updates being sent and more bytes being returned.
- Http2ConnectionHandler.flush triggers 'writeWindowUpdates' on the local flow-controller followed by 'writePendingBytes' on the remote flow-controller so WINDOW_UPDATES preceed DATA frames on the wire.
Result:
- Better throughput for writing many small DATA chunks followed by a flush, saving 9-bytes per coalesced frame.
- Fewer WINDOW_UPDATES being written and more flow-control bytes returned to remote side more quickly, thereby improving throughput.
Motivation:
Bootstrap of the HTTP/2 can take a lot of paths and a lot of things can go wrong in the initial handshakes leading up to establishment of HTTP/2 between client and server. There have been many times where handshakes have failed silently, leading to very cryptic errors that are hard to debug.
Modifications:
Changed the HTTP/2 handler and decoder to ensure that the very first data on the wire (WRT HTTP/2) is SETTINGS/preface+SETTINGS. When this is not the case, a connection error is thrown with the bytes that were found instead.
Result:
Fixes#3880
Motivation:
Only one of the three FixedChannelPool constructors checks for the constructor
arguments. Therfore it was possible to create a pool with zero maxConnections.
This change chains all constructors together, so that the last one
in the chain always checks the validity of the arguments, regardless of the
constructor used.
Result:
It is no longer possible to create a FixedChannelPool instance with invalid
maxConnections or maxPendingAcquires parameters.
Motivation:
At the moment we use 1 * cores as default mimimum for pool arenas. This can easily lead to conditions as we use 2 * cores as default for EventLoop's when using NIO or EPOLL. If we choose a smaller number we will run into hotspots as allocation and deallocation needs to be synchronized on the PoolArena.
Modifications:
Change the default number of arenas to 2 * cores.
Result:
Less conditions when using the default settings.
Motivation:
According to the javadocs of SSLSession.getPeerPrincipal should be returning the identity of the peer, while we return the identity of the issuer.
Modifications:
Return the correct indentity.
Result:
Behavior match the documentation.
Motivation:
FixedChannelPool should enforce a number of maximal used channels, but due a bug we fail to correctly enforce this.
Modifications:
Change check to correctly only acquire channel if we not hit the limit yet.
Result:
Correct limiting.
Motivation:
To avoid buffering too much it would be useful to get an estimate of how many bytes can be written to a Channel before it becomes unwritable.
Modifications:
- Update the Channel interface to support 2 new methods. 1 to give how many bytes before unwritable. 1 to give how many bytes before writable.
- Update the AbstractChannel implementation to delegate to the ChannelOutboundBuffer.
Result:
The Channel interface supports 2 new methods which provide more visibility into writability.
Proposal to fix issue #3636
Motivations:
Currently, while adding the next buffers to the decoder
(`decoder.offer()`), there is no way to access to the current HTTP
object being decoded since it can only be available currently once fully
decoded by `decoder.hasNext()`.
Some could want to know the progression on the overall transfer but also
per HTTP object.
While overall progression could be done using (if available) the global
Content-Length of the request and taking into account each HttpContent
size, the per HttpData object progression is unknown.
Modifications:
1) For HTTP object, `AbstractHttpData` has 2 protected properties named
`definedSize` and `size`, respectively the supposely final size and the
current (decoded until now) size.
This provides a new method `definedSize()` to get the current value for
`definedSize`. The `size` attribute is reachable by the `length()`
method.
Note however there are 2 different ways that currently managed the
`definedSize`:
a) `Attribute`: it is reset each time the value is less than actual
(when a buffer is added, the value is increased) since the final length
is not known (no Content-Length)
b) `FileUpload`: it is set at startup from the lengh provided
So these differences could lead in wrong perception;
a) `Attribute`: definedSize = size always
b) `FileUpload`: definedSize >= size always
Therefore the comment tries to explain clearly the different behaviors.
2) In the InterfaceHttpPostRequestDecoder (and the derived classes), I
add a new method: `decoder.currentPartialHttpData()` which will return a
`InterfaceHttpData` (if any) as the current `Attribute` or `FileUpload`
(the 2 generic types), which will allow then the programmer to check
according to the real type (instance of) the 2 methods `definedSize()`
and `length()`.
This method check if currentFileUpload or currentAttribute are null and
returns the one (only one could be not null) that is not null.
Note that if this method returns null, it might mean 2 situations:
a) the last `HttpData` (whatever attribute or file upload) is already
finished and therefore accessible through `next()`
b) there is not yet any `HttpData` in decoding (body not yet parsed for
instance)
Result:
The developper has more access and therefore control on the current
upload.
The coding from developper side could looks like in the example in
HttpUloadServerHandler.
Motivation:
It's useful to be able to be notified once all Channels that are part of the ChannelGroup are notified. This can for example be useful if you want to do a graceful shutdown.
Modifications:
- Add ChannelGroup.newCloseFuture(...) which will be notified once all Channels are notified that are part of the ChannelGroup at the time of calling.
Result:
Easier to be notified once all Channels within a ChannelGroup are closed.
Motiviation:
There are currently no accessors which provide visbility into how many bytes must be written in order for a writability change to occur. This feature would be useful for codecs which intent to control how many bytes are queued at any given time.
Modifications:
- add bytesBeforeUnWritable() which will give the number of bytes before the buffer (and associated channel) transitions to not writable
- add bytesBeforeWritable() which will give the number of bytes that must be drained from the queue until the channel becomes writable.
Result:
More visibility into writability for the ChannelOutboundBuffer.
Motivation:
Due a copy and paste error we incorrectly skipped the first cert in the keyCertChainFile when using OpenSslClientContext.
Modifications:
Correctly not skip the first cert.
Result:
The certificate chain is correctly setup when using OpenSslClientContext.

Motivation:
To implement the support for an upgrade from cleartext HTTP/1.1
connection to cleartext HTTP/2 (h2c) connection, a user usually uses
HttpServerUpgradeHandler.
It does its job, but it requires a user to instantiate the UpgradeCodecs
for all supported protocols upfront. It means redundancy for the
connections that are not upgraded.
Modifications:
- Change the constructor of HttpServerUpgradeHandler
- Accept UpgraceCodecFactory instead of UpgradeCodecs
- The default constructor of HttpServerUpgradeHandler sets the
maxContentLength to 0 now, which shouldn't be a problem because a
usual upgrade request is a GET.
- Update the examples accordingly
Result:
A user can instantiate Http2ServerUpgradeCodec and its related objects
(Http2Connection, Http2FrameReader/Writer, Http2FrameListener, etc) only
when necessary.
Motivation:
A user sometimes just want the aggregated message has no content at
all. (e.g. A user only wants HTTP GET requests.)
Modifications:
- Do not raise IllegalArgumentException even if a user specified
the maxContentLength of 0
Result:
A user can disallow a message with non-empty content.
Motivation:
Our HTTP/2 implementation sometimes uses hard-coded handler names when
adding/removing a handler to/from a pipeline. It's not really a good
idea because it can easily result in name clashes. Unless there is a
good reason, we need to use the reference to the handlers
Modifications:
- Allow null as a handler name for Http2Client/ServerUpgradeCodec
- Use null as the default upgrade handler name
- Do not use handler name strings in some test cases and examples
Result:
Fixes#3815
Related: #3871
Motivation:
StreamBufferingEncoderTest does not release when writeGoAway() is
called.
Modifications:
Release the buffer in mock object arguments
Result:
No buffer leak
Motivation:
Dumping the content of a ByteBuf in a hex format is very useful.
Modifications:
Move code into ByteBufUtil so its easy to reuse.
Result:
Easy to reuse dumping code.
Motiviation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/3865 was merged from a machine with old code. A test case that was updates was not merged.
Modifications:
- Merge the missing test case updates
Result:
Test case no longer fails.
Motiviation:
The connection handler stream close operation is unconditionally adding a listener object to a future. We may not have to add a listener at all because the future has already been completed.
Modifications:
- If the future is done, directly invoke the logic without creating/adding a new listener.
Result:
No need to create/add listener if the future is already done in close logic.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we never allow to have null values set on headers, otherwise we will see a NPE during encoding them.
Modifications:
Add unit test that shows we correctly handle null values.
Result:
Verify correct implementation.
Motivation:
The current dumping code does not respect the readerIndex and so logs incorrect.
Modifications:
Respect readerIndex of ByteBuf
Result:
Correctly log content of buffer.
Motivation:
If the handlerAdded(...) callback was not called, the checkDeadLock() of the handshakeFuture will produce an IllegalStateException.
This was first reported at https://github.com/impossibl/pgjdbc-ng/issues/168 .
Modifications:
Pass deadlock check if ctx is null
Result:
No more race and so IllegalStateException.
