Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
junit deprecated Assert.assertThat(...)
Modifications:
Use MatcherAssert.assertThat(...) as replacement for deprecated method
Result:
Less deprecation warnings
Motivation:
We need to also add -XX:+AllowRedefinitionToAddDeleteMethods for JDK15 and 16 as otherwise blockhound will not work
Modifications:
Add profiles for JDK15 and JDK16
Result:
Blockhound tests pass again
Motivation:
SSLEngineImpl.unwrap(...) may call FileInputStream.read(...) internally when TLS1.3 is used. This will cause an BlockingOperationError when BlockHound is enabled.
For more details see https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2020-August/022271.html
Modifications:
- Add whitelist entry to BlockHound config for now
- Update NettyBlockHoundIntegrationTest to include testing for this workaround
Result:
No BlockingOperationError when TLS1.3 is used with JDK SSL implementation and BlockHound is enabled
Motivation:
When BlockHound is installed,
ReferenceCountedOpenSslClientContext$ExtendedTrustManagerVerifyCallback.verify
is reported as blocking call.
Modifications:
Add allowBlockingCallsInside configuration for
ReferenceCountedOpenSslClientContext$ExtendedTrustManagerVerifyCallback.verify
Result:
Fixes#10384
Motivation:
Different versions of the JDK use different TLS versions by default. We should define the versions explicit
Modifications:
Explicit specify TLSv1.2
Result:
Blockhound tests pass on JDK14 as well
Motivation:
JDK 14 was released and need some special settings to be able to build with. Also there seems to be one regression that we need to workaround for now.
Modifications:
- Add maven profile for JDK 14
- Update blockhound version to be able to work on JDK 14
- Add workaround for possible JDK 14 regression
Result:
Be able to build on JDK 14
Motivation:
GlobalEventExecutor/SingleThreadEventExecutor#taskQueue is BlockingQueue.
Modifications:
Add allowBlockingCallsInside configuration for GlobalEventExecutor/SingleThreadEventExecutor#takeTask.
Result:
Fixes#9984
When BlockHound is installed, GlobalEventExecutor/SingleThreadEventExecutor#takeTask is not reported as a blocking call.
Motivation:
JDK is the default SSL provider and internally uses blocking IO operations.
Modifications:
Add allowBlockingCallsInside configuration for SslHandler runAllDelegate function.
Result:
When BlockHound is installed, SSL works out of the box with the default SSL provider.

Motivation:
If something is mis-configured, the "main" test will fail but it is unclear
whether it fails because the integration does not work or it wasn't applied
at all.
Also see:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9738#issuecomment-548416693
Modifications:
This change adds a test that uses the same mechanism as BlockHound does
(`ServiceLoader`) and checks that `NettyBlockHoundIntegration` is present.
Result:
It is now clear whether the integration is not working or it wasn't loaded at all.
Motivation:
Java 13 requires special flags to be set to make BlockHound work
Modifications:
- Added jdk13 profile to `transport-blockhound-tests`
- Enabled `-XX:+AllowRedefinitionToAddDeleteMethods` on jdk13
Result:
The tests work on Java 13
Motivation:
Netty is an asynchronous framework.
If somebody uses a blocking call inside Netty's event loops,
it may lead to a severe performance degradation.
BlockHound is a tool that helps detecting such calls.
Modifications:
This change adds a BlockHound's SPI integration that marks
threads created by Netty (`FastThreadLocalThread`s) as non-blocking.
It also marks some of Netty's internal methods as whitelisted
as they are required to run the event loops.
Result:
When BlockHound is installed, any blocking call inside event loops
is intercepted and reported (by default an error will be thrown).
