Motivation:
When using SslProvider.OPENSSL we currently not handle SNI on the client side.
Modifications:
Correctly enable SNI when using clientMode and peerHost != null.
Result:
SNI works even with SslProvider.OPENSSL.
Motivation:
See #3411. A reusable ArrayList in InternalThreadLocalMap can avoid allocations in the following pattern:
```
List<...> list = new ArrayList<...>();
add something to list but never use InternalThreadLocalMap
return list.toArray(new ...[list.size()]);
```
Modifications:
Add a reusable ArrayList to InternalThreadLocalMap and update codes to use it.
Result:
Reuse a thread local ArrayList to avoid allocations.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
When an SSL record contains an invalid extension data, SniHandler
currently throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException, which is not optimal.
Modifications:
- Do strict index range checks
Result:
No more unnecessary instantiation of exceptions and their stack traces
Motivation:
Not all SSLEngine implementations permit beginHandshake being called while a handshake is in progress during the initial handshake. We should ensure we only go through the initial handshake code once to prevent unexpected exceptions from being thrown.
Modifications:
- Only call beginHandshake if there is not currently a handshake in progress
Result:
SslHandler's handshake method is compatible with OpenSSLEngineImpl in Android 5.0+ and 6.0+.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4718
Motivation:
We incorrectly added the trustCertChain as certificate chain when OpenSslClientContext was created. We need to correctly add the keyCertChain.
Modifications:
Correctly add whole keyCertChain.
Result:
SSL client auth is working when usin OpenSslClientContext and more then one cert is contained in the certificate chain.
Motivation:
Attempts to enable SSL protocols which are currently disabled fail when using the OpenSslEngine. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4736
Modifications:
Clear out all options that have disabled SSL protocols before attempting to enable any SSL protocol.
Result:
setEnabledProtocols works as expected.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we flush out all pending data when an SslException accours so the remote peer receives all alerts.
Modifications:
Ensure we call ctx.flush() when needed.
Result:
Correctly receive alerts in all cases on the remote peer.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we add the correct handshake error to the SSLHandshakeException before throwing it when failing the
handshake.
Modifications:
Use the correct error string when creating the SSLHandshakeException.
Result:
Correct SSLHandshakeException message included.
Motivation:
Sometimes a user want to do async mappings in the SniHandler as it is not possible to populate a Mapping up front.
Modifications:
Add AsyncMapping interface and make SniHandler work with it.
Result:
It is possible to do async mappings for SNI
Motivation:
As we can only handle handshake commands to parse SNI we should try to skip alert and change cipher spec commands a few times before we fallback to use a default SslContext.
Modifications:
- Use default SslContext if no application data command was received
- Use default SslContext if after 4 commands we not received a handshake command
- Simplify code
- Eliminate multiple volatile fields
- Rename SslConstants to SslUtils
- Share code between SslHandler and SniHandler by moving stuff to SslUtils
Result:
Correct handling of non handshake commands and cleaner code.
Motivation:
Android 5.0 (API version 21) has a bug which not correctly set the bytesConsumed of SSLEngineResult when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED. Because of this we need to special handle the status and so workaround the Android bug.
Modifications:
- Break the unwrap for (;;) loop when HandshakeStatus is FINISHED and bytesConsumed == 0 && bytesProduced == 0.
Result:
SslHandler works with all known version of Android.
Motivation:
There are a few buffer leaks related to how Unpooled.wrapped and Base64.encode is used.
Modifications:
- Fix usages of Bas64.encode to correct leaks
- Clarify interface of Unpooled.wrapped* to ensure reference count ownership is clearly defined.
Result:
Reference count code is more clearly defined and less leaks are possible.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap when the handshake is started as otherwise we may produce a memory leak when the OpenSslEngine is created but not actually used. This can for example happen if we encounter a connection refused from the remote peer. In this case we will never remove the OpenSslEngine from the OpenSslEngineMap and so it will never be collected (as we hold a reference). This has as affect that the finalizer will never be run as well.
Modifications:
- Lazy add the OpenSslEngine to the OpenSslEngineMap to elimate possible leak.
- Call OpenSslEngine.shutdown() when SslHandler is removed from the ChannelPipeline to free memory asap in all cases.
Result:
No more memory leak with OpenSslEngine if connection is refused.
Motivation:
We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make
Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result,
our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections.
Modifications:
- Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and
npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections
from pom.xml
- Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info
Result:
Cleaner pom.xml
Motivation:
- Javadoc is not correct (#4353)
- WriteTimeoutHandler does not always cancel the timeout task (#2973)
Modifications:
Fix the javadoc and cleanup timeout task in handlerRemoved
Result:
WriteTimeoutHandler's javadoc describes the correct behavior and it will cancel timeout tasks when it's removed.
Motivation:
As we not used Unpooled anymore for allocate buffers in Base64.* methods we need to ensure we realease all the buffers.
Modifications:
Correctly release buffers
Result:
No more buffer leaks
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine now tests ALPN behavior. However it is possible that OpenSSL is present, but the version does not support ALPN. This will result in test failures instead of just skipping the test.
Modifications:
- Skip ALPN tests in OpenSslEngineTest if the version of OpenSSL does not support ALPN
Result:
Tests don't fail due to unsupported feature in OpenSSL.
Motivation:
Currently there are no tests for OpenSSL Engine,
only for JdkSSL engine.
Modifications:
Common methods from `JdkSslEngine` test moved
to `SSLEngineTest`, JdkSslEngine now implements
NPN and ALPN tests.
Result:
OpenSSL Engine is now covered with unit tests.
Motivation:
Javadoc reports errors about invalid docs.
Modifications:
Fix some errors reported by javadoc.
Result:
A lot of javadoc errors are fixed by this patch.
Motivation:
There are some wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Modifications:
Fix the wrong links and tags in javadoc.
Result:
These links will work correctly in javadoc.
Motivation:
ChunkedInput.readChunk currently takes a ChannelHandlerContext object as a parameters. All current implementations of this interface only use this object to get the ByteBufAllocator object. Thus taking a ChannelHandlerContext as a parameter is more restrictive for users of this API than necessary.
Modifications:
- Add a new method readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
- Deprecate readChunk(ChannelHandlerContext) and updates all implementations to call readChunk(ByteBufAllocator)
Result:
API that only requires ByteBufAllocator to use ChunkedInput.
Motivation:
FileInputStream opened by SelfSignedCertificate wasn't closed.
Modifications:
Use a try-finally to close the opened FileInputStream.
Result:
FileInputStream will be closed properly.
Related: #4470#4473
Motivation:
A user might want to:
- implement dynamic mapping from hostname to SslContext
- server large number of domain names whose SslContext can be
initialized lazily and destroyed when unused
Modifications:
- Let SniHandler accept Mapping<String, SslContext> as well as
DomainNameMapping
- Make the default constructor of SslContext so that a user can create
his or her own SslContext wrapper
Result:
Flexibility
Motivation:
We currently not supported using KeyManagerFactory with OpenSslServerContext and so should throw an exception if the user tries to do so. This will at least not give suprising and hard to debug problems later.
Modifications:
Throw exception if a user tries to construct a OpenSslServerContext with a KeyManagerFactory
Result:
Fail fast if the user tries to use something that is not supported.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we consume all pending data in the BIO on error to correctly send the close notify for the remote peer.
Modifications:
Correctly force the user to call wrap(...) if there is something left in the BIO.
Result:
close_notify is not lost.
Motivation:
When ClientAuth is set via SslContextBuilder we pass it into the OpenSslEngine constructor. Due a bug we missed to call the correct native methods and so never enabled ClientAuth in this case.
Modifications:
Correctly call setClientAuth(...) in the constructor if needed.
Result:
client auth also works when configured via the SslContextBuilder and OPENSSL is used.
Motivation:
We missed to remove a method in SslContext while refactored the implementation. We should remove the method to keep things clean.
Modifications:
Remove unused method.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
Use new / non-deprecated APIs for creating SSL Context
in tests, in order to be able to implement OpenSsl
tests with maximum code reuse.
Modifications:
Use `SslContextBuilder.(forServer|forClient)` instead
of deprecated `JdkSslServerContext` constructor.
Use `ApplicationProtocolConfig` instead of Protocol
Negotiator.
Use custom exception type for skipping tests to avoid
swallowing exceptions arising from tests.
Result:
Exceptions from tests aren't swallowed.
Using new APIs allows reusing same test code for
OpenSsl tests.
Motivation:
We should use OneTimeTask where possible to reduce object creation.
Modifications:
Replace Runnable with OneTimeTask
Result:
Less object creation
Motivation:
Child classes of ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler may want to override the behavior when a handshake failure is detected.
Modifications:
- Provide a method which can be overriden when a handshake failure is detected.
Result:
Child classes can override ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler handshake failure behavior.
Motivation:
OpenSslServerContext should not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain as the user should be able to pass a fully initialized TrustManagerFactory. This is also in line with how JdkSslServerContext works.
Modifications:
Not reinitialize the provided TrustManagerFactory with the key cert chain.
Result:
Correct and consistent behavior.
Motivation:
The SSLSession allows to invalidate a SSLSession and so disallow resume of a session. We should support this for OpenSSLEngine as well.
Modifications:
- Correctly implement SSLSession.isValid() and invalidate() in OpenSSLEngine
- Add unit test.
Result:
Invalidate of SSL sessions is supported when using OpenSSL now.
Motivation:
Often unwrap(...), wrap(...) is used with a single ByteBuffer and not with a ByteBuffer[]. We should reduce the array creations in this case.
Modifications:
Reuse ByteBuffer[1] for dst/src ByteBuffer.
Result:
Less object creation and so less GC
Motivation:
As a SSL session may be created later at some time we should compute the creation time in a lazy fashion.
Modifications:
- Lazy compute creation time
- Add some unit test
Result:
More correct behavior
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly update the internal handshake state on beginHandshake() if we was able to finish the handshake directly. Also we not handled the case correctly when beginHandshake() was called after the first handshake was finished, which incorrectly throw an Error.
Modifications:
- Correctly set internal handshake state in all cases
- Correctly handle beginHandshake() once first handshake was finished.
Result:
Correctly handle OpenSslEngine.beginHandshake()
Motivation:
We should provide a better way to set session keys that not use the deprecated method of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionTicketKey
- Expose new method on OpenSslServerContext and deprecate the old method.
Result:
Easier to use and can remove the deprecated method later on.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4257 introduced paramters and didn't use them.
Modifications:
- Use the new paramters
Result:
No warnings and correct behavior
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) must return HandhsakeStatus.FINISHED if an unwrap or wrap finishes a handshake to behave like descripted in the SSLEngine docs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we return HandshakeStatus.FINISHED
Result:
Behave correctly.
Motivation:
Users may want to control the valid dates for SelfSignedCertificate.
Modifications:
- Allow NOT_BEFORE and NOT_AFTER to be controlled via java system properties.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3978
Motivation:
To simplify the use of client auth, we need to add it to the SslContextBuilder.
Modifications:
Added a ClientAuth enum and plumbed it through the builder, down into the contexts/engines.
Result:
Client auth can be configured when building an SslContext.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() was not supported when using OpenSSL, which can produce problems when switch from JDK to OpenSSL impl.
Modifications:
Implement SSLSession.getLocalCertificates() and getLocalPrincipal() for OpenSslEngine.
Result:
More consistent behaving between JDK and OpenSSL based SSLEngine.
Motivation:
As stated in the SSLSession javadocs getPeer* methods need to throw a SSLPeerUnverifiedException if peers identity has not be verified.
Modifications:
- Correctly throw SSLPeerUnverifiedException
- Add test for it.
Result:
Correctly behave like descripted in javadocs.
Motivation:
Invoking the javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine.closeInbound() method will send a
fatal alert and invalidate the SSL session if a close_notify alert has
not been received.
From the javadoc:
If the application initiated the closing process by calling
closeOutbound(), under some circumstances it is not required that the
initiator wait for the peer's corresponding close message. (See section
7.2.1 of the TLS specification (RFC 2246) for more information on
waiting for closure alerts.) In such cases, this method need not be
called.
Always invoking the closeInbound() method without regard to whether or
not the closeOutbound() method has been invoked could lead to
invalidating perfectly valid SSL sessions.
Modifications:
Added an instance variable to track whether the
SSLEngine.closeOutbound() method has been invoked. When the instance
variable is true, the SSLEngine.closeInbound() method doesn't need to be
invoked.
Result:
SSL sessions will not be invalidated if the outbound side has been
closed but a close_notify alert hasn't been received.
Motivation:
On Android devices with version less than Lollipop, HarmonyJSSE is used for SSL. After completion of handshake, handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING instead of FINISHED. Also encrypting empty buffer after handshake should cause underflow exception and produce 0 bytes, but here it happily encrypts it causing for loop to never break
Modification:
Since 0 bytes should only be consumed in handshake process. Added a condition to break loop when 0 bytes are consumed and handshake status is NOT_HANDSHAKING
Result:
Sucessful ssl handshake on Android devices, no infinite loop now
Motivation:
We provide a hyperlink to the docs for SPDY if the runtime is not setup correctly to help users. These docs have moved.
Modifications:
- Update the hyperlink to point to the new doc location.
Result:
Users are able to find docs more easily.
Motivation:
Sometimes the user already has a PrivateKey / X509Certificate which should be used to create a new SslContext. At the moment we only allow to construct it via Files.
Modifications:
- Add new methods to the SslContextBuilder to allow creating a SslContext from PrivateKey / X509Certificate
- Mark all public constructors of *SslContext as @Deprecated, the user should use SslContextBuilder
- Update tests to us SslContextBuilder.
Result:
Creating of SslContext is possible with PrivateKay/X509Certificate
Motivation:
We pass-through non ByteBuf when SslHandler.write(...) is called which can lead to have unencrypted data to be send (like for example if a FileRegion is written).
Modifications:
- Fail ChannelPromise with UnsupportedMessageException if a non ByteBuf is written.
Result:
Only allow ByteBuf to be written when using SslHandler.
Motivation:
Remove RC4 from default ciphers as it is not known as secure anymore.
Modifications:
Remove RC4
Result:
Not use an insecure cipher as default.
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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.
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.
Motivation:
For advanced use-cases it an be helpful to be able to directly access the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers of the underlying openssl objects. This for example allows to register custom C callbacks.
Modifications:
- Expose the SSL_CTX and SSL pointers
- Cleanup the shutdown code
Result:
It's now possible to obtain the c pointes and set native callbacks.
Motivation:
SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser duplicate fair amount code with each other.
Modification:
- Replace SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser with ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler
- Add ApplicationProtocolNames to define the known application-level protocol names
Result:
- Less code duplication
- A user can perform dynamic pipeline configuration that follows ALPN/NPN for any protocols.
Related: #3641 and #3813
Motivation:
When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.
Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.
The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.
Modifications:
- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
application protocol
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
only, so that it conforms to its contract.
Result:
- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box
Motivation:
Calling System.nanoTime() for each channelRead(...) is very expensive. See [#3808] for more detailed description.
Also we always do extra work for each write and read even if read or write idle states should not be handled.
Modifications:
- Move System.nanoTime() call to channelReadComplete(...).
- Reuse ChannelFutureListener for writes
- Only add ChannelFutureListener to writes if write and all idle states should be handled.
- Only call System.nanoTime() for reads if idle state events for read and all states should be handled.
Result:
Less overhead when using the IdleStateHandler.
Motivation:
We called TrustManagerFactory.init(...) even when the trustCertChainFile is null. This could lead to exceptions during the handshake.
Modifications:
Correctly only call TurstManagerFactory.init() if trustCertcChainFail is not null.
Result:
Correct behavior.
Motiviation:
The OpenSSL engine uses SSLHandshakeException in the event of failures that occur during the handshake process. The alpn-boot project's getSSLException will also map the no_application_protocol to a SSLHandshakeException exception. We should be consistent and use SSLHandshakeException for handshake failure events.
Modifications:
-Update JdkAlpnSslEngine to propagate an SSLHandshakeException in the event of a failure.
Result:
Consistent usage of SSLHandshakeException during a handshake failure event.
Motivation:
Allow writing with void promise if IdleStateHandler is configured in the pipeline for read timeout events.
Modifications:
Better performance.
Result:
No more ChannelFutureListeners are created if IdleStateHandler is only configured for read timeouts allowing for writing to the channel with void promise.
Motivation:
[#3808] introduced some improvements to reduce the calls to System.nanoTime() but missed one possible optimization.
Modifications:
Only call System.nanoTime() if no reading patch is in process.
Result:
Less System.nanoTime() calls.
Motivation:
Discussion is in https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn/issues/8. The new API allows protocol negotiation to properly throw SSLHandshakeException.
Modifications:
Updated the parent pom.xml with the new version.
Result:
Upgraded alpn-api now allows throwing SSLHandshakeException.
Motivation:
We mitigate callouts to System.nanoTime() in SingleThreadEventExecutor
as it is 'relatively expensive'. On a modern system, tak translates to
about 20ns per call. With channelReadComplete() we can side-step this in
channelRead().
Modifications:
Introduce a boolean flag, which indicates that a read batch is currently
on-going, which acts as a flush guard for lastReadTime. Update
lastReadTime in channelReadComplete() just before setting the flag to
false. We set the flag to true in channelRead().
The periodic task examines the flag, and if it observes it to be true,
it will reschedule the task for the full duration. If it observes as
false, it will read lastReadTime and adjust the delay accordingly.
Result:
ReadTimeoutHandler calls System.nanoTime() only once per read batch.
Motivation:
At the moment hostname verification is not supported with OpenSSLEngine.
Modifications:
- Allow to create OpenSslEngine with peerHost and peerPort informations.
- Respect endPointIdentificationAlgorithm and algorithmConstraints when set and get SSLParamaters.
Result:
hostname verification is supported now.
Motivation:
keyManager() is required on server-side, and so there is a forServer()
method for each override of keyManager(). However, one of the
forServer() overrides was missing, which meant that if you wanted to use
a KeyManagerFactory you were forced to provide garbage configuration
just to get past null checks.
Modifications:
Add missing override.
Result:
No hacks to use SslContextBuilder on server-side with KeyManagerFactory.
Resolves#3775
Motivation:
To prevent from DOS attacks it can be useful to disable remote initiated renegotiation.
Modifications:
Add new flag to OpenSslContext that can be used to disable it
Adding a testcase
Result:
Remote initiated renegotion requests can be disabled now.
Motivation:
In the SslHandler we schedule a timeout at which we close the Channel if a timeout was detected during close_notify. Because this can race with notify the flushFuture we can see an IllegalStateException when the Channel is closed.
Modifications:
- Use a trySuccess() and tryFailure(...) to guard against race.
Result:
No more race.
Motivation:
Currently mutual auth is not supported when using OpenSslEngine.
Modification:
- Add support to OpenSslClientContext
- Correctly throw SSLHandshakeException when an error during handshake is detected
Result:
Mutual auth can be used with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
Our automatically handling of non-auto-read failed because it not detected the need of calling read again by itself if nothing was decoded. Beside this handling of non-auto-read never worked for SslHandler as it always triggered a read even if it decoded a message and auto-read was false.
This fixes [#3529] and [#3587].
Modifications:
- Implement handling of calling read when nothing was decoded (with non-auto-read) to ByteToMessageDecoder again
- Correctly respect non-auto-read by SslHandler
Result:
No more stales and correctly respecting of non-auto-read by SslHandler.
Motivation:
Unnecessary object allocation is currently done during wrap/unwrap while a handshake is still in progress.
Modifications:
Use static instances when possible.
Result:
Less object creations.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to get informations about the available OpenSSL library that is used for the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add two new methods which allows to get the available OpenSSL version as either
an int or an String.
Result:
Easy to access details about OpenSSL version.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to use EC keys and not DSA or RSA. We should support it.
Modifications:
Support EC keys and share the code between JDK and Openssl impl.
Result:
It's possible to use EC keys now.
Motivation:
SslContext factory methods have gotten out of control; it's past time to
swap to a builder.
Modifications:
New Builder class. The existing factory methods must be left as-is for
backward compatibility.
Result:
Fixes#3531
Motivation:
To support HTTP2 we need APLN support. This was not provided before when using OpenSslEngine, so SSLEngine (JDK one) was the only bet.
Beside this CipherSuiteFilter was not supported
Modifications:
- Upgrade netty-tcnative and make use of new features to support ALPN and NPN in server and client mode.
- Guard against segfaults after the ssl pointer is freed
- support correctly different failure behaviours
- add support for CipherSuiteFilter
Result:
Be able to use OpenSslEngine for ALPN / NPN for server and client.
In TrafficCounter, a recent change makes the contract of the API (the
constructor) wrong and lead to issue with GlobalChannelTrafficCounter
where executor must be null.
Motivation:
TrafficCounter executor argument in constructor might be null, as
explained in the API, for some particular cases where no executor are
needed (relevant tasks being taken by the caller as in
GlobalChannelTrafficCounter).
A null pointer exception is raised while it should not since it is
legal.
Modifications:
Remove the 2 null checking for this particular attribute.
Note that when null, the attribute is not reached nor used (a null
checking condition later on is applied).
Result:
No more null exception raized while it should not.
This shall be made also to 4.0, 4.1 (present) and master. 3.10 is not
concerned.
Related: #3567
Motivation:
SslHandler.channelReadComplete() forgets to call
super.channelReadComplete(), which discards read bytes from the
cumulative buffer. As a result, the cumulative buffer can expand its
capacity unboundedly.
Modifications:
Call super.channelReadComplete() instead of calling
ctx.fireChannelReadComplete()
Result:
Fixes#3567
Motivation:
LoggingHandlerTest sometimes failure due to unexpected log messages
logged due to the automatic reclaimation of thread-local objects.

Modifications:
Add the mock appender to the related logger only
Result:
No more intermittent test failures
Related: #3368
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler checks if the return value of
ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() after calling ChunkedInput.close().
This makes ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() trigger an IOException, which is
originally triggered by PushBackInputStream.read().
By contract, ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() should not raise an IOException
even when the underlying stream is closed.
Modifications:
Add a boolean flag that keeps track of whether the underlying stream has
been closed or not, so that ChunkedStream.isEndOfInput() does not
propagate the IOException from PushBackInputStream.
Result:
Fixes#3368
Motivation:
For some use cases X509ExtendedTrustManager is needed as it allows to also access the SslEngine during validation.
Modifications:
Add support for X509ExtendedTrustManager on java >= 7
Result:
It's now possible to use X509ExtendedTrustManager with OpenSslEngine
Motivation:
The Http2FrameLogger is currently using the internal logging classes. We should change this so that it's using the public classes and then converts internally.
Modifications:
Modified Http2FrameLogger and the examples to use the public LogLevel class.
Result:
Fixes#2512
Motivation:
With the current implementation the client protocol preference list
takes precedence over the one of the server, since the select method
will return the first item, in the client list, that matches any of the
protocols supported by the server. This violates the recommendation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.2.
It will also fail with the current implementation of Chrome, which
sends back Extension application_layer_protocol_negotiation, protocols:
[http/1.1, spdy/3.1, h2-14]
Modifications:
Changed the protocol negotiator to prefer server’s list. Added a test
case that demonstrates the issue and that is fixed with the
modifications of this commit.
Result:
Server’s preference list is used.
Related: #3476
Motivation:
Some users use TrafficCounter for other uses than we originally
intended, such as implementing their own traffic shaper. In such a
case, a user does not want to specify an AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor that does not require an
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler, so that a user can use it without it.
- Simplify TrafficMonitoringTask
- Javadoc cleanup
Result:
We open the possibility of using TrafficCounter for other purposes than
just using it with AbstractTrafficShapingHandler. Eventually, we could
generalize it a little bit more, so that we can potentially use it for
other uses.
Motivation:
There are various places in OpenSslEngine wher we can do performance optimizations.
Modifications:
- Reduce JNI calls when possible
- Detect finished handshake as soon as possible
- Eliminate double calculations
- wrap multiple ByteBuffer if possible in a loop
Result:
Better performance
Motivation:
At the moment we log priming read and handshake errors via info log level and still throw a SSLException that contains the error. We should only log with debug level to generate less noise.
Modifications:
Change logging to debug level.
Result:
Less noise .
Motivation:
SonarQube (clinker.netty.io/sonar) reported a few 'critical' issues related to the OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
- Remove potential for dereference of null variable.
- Remove duplicate null check and TODO cleanup.
Results:
Less potential for null dereference, cleaner code, and 1 less TODO.
Motivation:
SslHandler adds a pending write with an empty buffer and a VoidChannelPromise when a user flush and not pending writes are currently stored. This may produce an IllegalStateException later if the user try to add a ChannelFutureListener to the promise in the next ChannelOutboundHandler.
Modifications:
Replace ctx.voidPromise() with ctx.newPromise()
Result:
No more IllegalStateException possible
Motivation:
SSLEngine specifies that IllegalArgumentException must be thrown if a null argument is given when using wrap(...) or unwrap(...).
Modifications:
Replace NullPointerException with IllegalArgumentException to match the javadocs.
Result:
Match the javadocs.
Motivation:
We failed to correctly calculate the endOffset when wrap multiple ByteBuffer and so not wrapped everything when an offset > 0 is used.
Modifications:
Correctly calculate endOffset.
Result:
All ByteBuffers are correctly wrapped when offset > 0.
Motivation:
When SslHandler.unwrap() copies SSL records into a heap buffer, it does
not update the start offset, causing IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Copy to a heap buffer before calling unwrap() for simplicity
- Do not copy an empty buffer to a heap buffer.
- unwrap(... EMPTY_BUFFER ...) never involves copying now.
- Use better parameter names for unwrap()
- Clean-up log messages
Result:
- Bugs fixed
- Cleaner code
Motivation:
When using OpenSslEngine with the SslHandler it is possible to reduce memory copies by unwrap(...) multiple ByteBuffers at the same time. This way we can eliminate a memory copy that is needed otherwise to cumulate partial received data.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) method that can be used to unwrap multiple src ByteBuffer a the same time
- Use a CompositeByteBuffer in SslHandler for inbound data so we not need to memory copy
- Add OpenSslEngine.unwrap(ByteBuffer[],...) in SslHandler if OpenSslEngine is used and the inbound ByteBuf is backed by more then one ByteBuffer
- Reduce object allocation
Result:
SslHandler is faster when using OpenSslEngine and produce less GC
Motivation:
Currently when there are bytes left in the cumulation buffer we do a byte copy to produce the input buffer for the decode method. This can put quite some overhead on the impl.
Modification:
- Use a CompositeByteBuf to eliminate the byte copy.
- Allow to specify if a CompositeBytebug should be used or not as some handlers can only act on one ByteBuffer in an efficient way (like SslHandler :( ).
Result:
Performance improvement as shown in the following benchmark.

Motivation:
When a user sees an error message, sometimes he or she does not know
what exactly he or she has to do to fix the problem.
Modifications:
Log the URL of the wiki pages that might help the user troubleshoot.
Result:
We are more friendly.
Motivation:
When a user deliberatively omitted netty-tcnative from classpath, he or
she will see an ugly stack trace of ClassNotFoundException.
Modifications:
Log more briefly when netty-tcnative is not in classpath.
Result:
Better-looking log at DEBUG level
Motivation:
- There's no point of pre-population.
- Waste of memory and time because they are going to be cached lazily
- Some pre-populated cipher suites are ancient and will be unused
Modification:
- Remove cache pre-population
Result:
Sanity restored
Motivation:
Calling JNI methods is pretty expensive, so we should only do if needed.
Modifications:
Lazy call methods if needed.
Result:
Better performance.
Motivation:
SSL_set_cipher_list() in OpenSSL does not fail as long as at least one
cipher suite is available. It is different from the semantics of
SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites(), which raises an exception when the
list contains an unavailable cipher suite.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSsl.isCipherSuiteAvailable(String) which checks the
availability of a cipher suite
- Raise an IllegalArgumentException when the specified cipher suite is
not available
Result:
Fixed compatibility
Motivation:
To make OpenSslEngine a full drop-in replacement, we need to implement
getSupportedCipherSuites() and get/setEnabledCipherSuites().
Modifications:
- Retrieve the list of the available cipher suites when initializing
OpenSsl.
- Improve CipherSuiteConverter to understand SRP
- Add more test data to CipherSuiteConverterTest
- Add bulk-conversion method to CipherSuiteConverter
Result:
OpenSslEngine should now be a drop-in replacement for JDK SSLEngineImpl
for most cases.
Related: #3285
Motivation:
When a user attempts to switch from JdkSslContext to OpenSslContext, he
or she will see the initialization failure if he or she specified custom
cipher suites.
Modifications:
- Provide a utility class that converts between Java cipher suite string
and OpenSSL cipher suite string
- Attempt to convert the cipher suite so that a user can use the cipher
suite string format of Java regardless of the chosen SslContext impl
Result:
- It is possible to convert all known cipher suite strings.
- It is possible to switch from JdkSslContext and OpenSslContext and
vice versa without any configuration changes
Motivation:
Several issues were shown by various ticket (#2900#2956).
Also use the improvement on writability user management from #3036.
And finally add a mixte handler, both for Global and Channels, with
the advantages of being uniquely created and using less memory and
less shaping.
Issue #2900
When a huge amount of data are written, the current behavior of the
TrafficShaping handler is to limit the delay to 15s, whatever the delay
the previous write has. This is wrong, and when a huge amount of writes
are done in a short time, the traffic is not correctly shapened.
Moreover, there is a high risk of OOM if one is not using in his/her own
handler for instance ChannelFuture.addListener() to handle the write
bufferisation in the TrafficShapingHandler.
This fix use the "user-defined writability flags" from #3036 to
allow the TrafficShapingHandlers to "user-defined" managed writability
directly, as for reading, thus using the default isWritable() and
channelWritabilityChanged().
This allows for instance HttpChunkedInput to be fully compatible.
The "bandwidth" compute on write is only on "acquired" write orders, not
on "real" write orders, which is wrong from statistic point of view.
Issue #2956
When using GlobalTrafficShaping, every write (and read) are
synchronized, thus leading to a drop of performance.
ChannelTrafficShaping is not touched by this issue since synchronized is
then correct (handler is per channel, so the synchronized).
Modifications:
The current write delay computation takes into account the previous
write delay and time to check is the 15s delay (maxTime) is really
exceeded or not (using last scheduled write time). The algorithm is
simplified and in the same time more accurate.
This proposal uses the #3036 improvement on user-defined writability
flags.
When the real write occurs, the statistics are update accordingly on a
new attribute (getRealWriteThroughput()).
To limit the synchronisations, all synchronized on
GlobalTrafficShapingHandler on submitWrite were removed. They are
replaced with a lock per channel (since synchronization is still needed
to prevent unordered write per channel), as in the sendAllValid method
for the very same reason.
Also all synchronized on TrafficCounter on read/writeTimeToWait() are
removed as they are unnecessary since already locked before by the
caller.
Still the creation and remove operations on lock per channel (PerChannel
object) are synchronized to prevent concurrency issue on this critical
part, but then limited.
Additionnal changes:
1) Use System.nanoTime() instead of System.currentTimeMillis() and
minimize calls
2) Remove / 10 ° 10 since no more sleep usage
3) Use nanoTime instead of currentTime such that time spend is computed,
not real time clock. Therefore the "now" relative time (nanoTime based)
is passed on all sub methods.
4) Take care of removal of the handler to force write all pending writes
and release read too
8) Review Javadoc to explicit:
- recommandations to take into account isWritable
- recommandations to provide reasonable message size according to
traffic shaping limit
- explicit "best effort" traffic shaping behavior when changing
configuration dynamically
Add a MixteGlobalChannelTrafficShapingHandler which allows to use only one
handler for mixing Global and Channel TSH. I enables to save more memory and
tries to optimize the traffic among various channels.
Result:
The traffic shaping is more stable, even with a huge number of writes in
short time by taking into consideration last scheduled write time.
The current implementation of TrafficShapingHandler using user-defined
writability flags and default isWritable() and
fireChannelWritabilityChanged works as expected.
The statistics are more valuable (asked write vs real write).
The Global TrafficShapingHandler should now have less "global"
synchronization, hoping to the minimum, but still per Channel as needed.
The GlobalChannel TrafficShapingHandler allows to have only one handler for all channels while still offering per channel in addition to global traffic shaping.
And finally maintain backward compatibility.
Motivation:
Openssl supports the SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context function to limit for which context a session can be used. We should support this.
Modifications:
Add OpenSslServerSessionContext that exposes a setSessionIdContext(...) method now.
Result:
It's now possible to use SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context.
Motivation:
It is sometimes useful to enable / disable the session cache.
Modifications:
* Add OpenSslSessionContext.setSessionCacheEnabled(...) and isSessionCacheEnabled()
Result:
It is now possible to enable / disable cache on the fly
Motivation:
To be compatible with SSLEngine we need to support enable / disable procols on the OpenSslEngine
Modifications:
Implement OpenSslEngine.getSupportedProtocols() , getEnabledProtocols() and setEnabledProtocols(...)
Result:
Better compability with SSLEngine
Motivation:
The current implementation not returns the real session as byte[] representation.
Modifications:
Create a proper Openssl.SSLSession.get() implementation which returns the real session as byte[].
Result:
More correct implementation
Motivation:
At the moment it is not possible to make use of the session cache when OpenSsl is used. This should be possible when server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionContext (implements SSLSessionContext) which exposes all the methods to modify the session cache.
- Add various extra methods to OpenSslSessionContext for extra functionality
- Return OpenSslSessionContext when OpenSslEngine.getSession().getContext() is called.
- Add sessionContext() to SslContext
- Move OpenSsl specific session operations to OpenSslSessionContext and mark the old methods @deprecated
Result:
It's now possible to use session cache with OpenSsl
Motivation:
ProxyHandlerTest fails with NoClassDefFoundError raised by
SslContext.newClientContext().
Modifications:
Fix a missing 'return' statement that makes the switch-case block fall
through unncecessarily
Result:
- ProxyHandlerTest does not fail anymore.
- SslContext.newClientContext() does not raise NoClassDefFoundError
anymore.
Motivation:
At the moment we use SSL.getLastError() in unwrap(...) to check for error. This is very inefficient as it creates a new String for each check and we also use a String.startsWith(...) to detect if there was an error we need to handle.
Modifications:
Use SSL.getLastErrorNumber() to detect if we need to handle an error, as this only returns a long and so no String creation happens. Also the detection is much cheaper as we can now only compare longs. Once an error is detected the lately SSL.getErrorString(long) is used to conver the error number to a String and include it in log and exception message.
Result:
Performance improvements in OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) due less object allocation and also faster comparations.
Motivation:
As we now support OpenSslEngine for client side, we should use it when avaible.
Modifications:
Use SslProvider.OPENSSL when openssl can be found
Result:
OpenSslEngine is used whenever possible
Motivation:
When using client auth it is sometimes needed to use a custom TrustManagerFactory.
Modifications:
Allow to pass in TrustManagerFactory
Result:
It's now possible to use custom TrustManagerFactories for JdkSslServerContext and OpenSslServerContext
Motivation:
To make OpenSsl*Context a drop in replacement for JdkSsl*Context we need to use TrustManager.
Modifications:
Correctly hook in the TrustManager
Result:
Better compatibility
Motivation:
At the moment there is no way to enable client authentication when using OpenSslEngine. This limits the uses of OpenSslEngine.
Modifications:
Add support for different authentication modes.
Result:
OpenSslEngine can now also be used when client authenticiation is needed.
Motivation:
The current SSLSession implementation used by OpenSslEngine does not support various operations and so may not be a good replacement by the SSLEngine provided by the JDK implementation.
Modifications:
- Add SSLSession.getCreationTime()
- Add SSLSession.getLastAccessedTime()
- Add SSLSession.putValue(...), getValue(...), removeValue(...), getValueNames()
- Add correct SSLSession.getProtocol()
- Ensure OpenSSLEngine.getSession() is thread-safe
- Use optimized AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater when possible
Result:
More complete OpenSslEngine SSLSession implementation
Motivation:
We only support openssl for server side at the moment but it would be also useful for client side.
Modification:
* Upgrade to new netty-tcnative snapshot to support client side openssl support
* Add OpenSslClientContext which can be used to create SslEngine for client side usage
* Factor out common logic between OpenSslClientContext and OpenSslServerContent into new abstract base class called OpenSslContext
* Correctly detect handshake failures as soon as possible
* Guard against segfault caused by multiple calls to destroyPools(). This can happen if OpenSslContext throws an exception in the constructor and the finalize() method is called later during GC
Result:
openssl can be used for client and servers now.
Motivation:
SslHandler.wrap(...) does a poor job when handling CompositeByteBuf as it always call ByteBuf.nioBuffer() which will do a memory copy when a CompositeByteBuf is used that is backed by multiple ByteBuf.
Modifications:
- Use SslEngine.wrap(ByteBuffer[]...) to allow wrap CompositeByteBuf in an efficient manner
- Reduce object allocation in unwrapNonAppData(...)
Result:
Performance improvement when a CompositeByteBuf is written and the SslHandler is in the ChannelPipeline.
Motivation:
When a remote peer did open a connection and only do the handshake without sending any data and then directly close the connection we did not call shutdown() in the OpenSslEngine. This leads to a native memory leak. Beside this it also was not fireed when a OpenSslEngine was created but never used.
Modifications:
- Make sure shutdown() is called in all cases when closeInbound() is called
- Call shutdown() also in the finalize() method to ensure we release native memory when the OpenSslEngine is GC'ed
Result:
No more memory leak when using OpenSslEngine
Related:
e9685ea45a
Motivation:
SslHandler.unwrap() does not evaluate the handshake status of
SSLEngine.unwrap() when the status of SSLEngine.unwrap() is CLOSED.
It is not correct because the status does not reflect the state of the
handshake currently in progress, accoding to the API documentation of
SSLEngineResult.Status.
Also, sslCloseFuture can be notified earlier than handshake notification
because we call sslCloseFuture.trySuccess() before evaluating handshake
status.
Modifications:
- Notify sslCloseFuture after the unwrap loop is finished
- Add more assertions to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Potentially fix the regression caused by:
- e9685ea45a
Related: #2958
Motivation:
SslHandler currently does not issue a read() request when it is
handshaking. It makes a connection with autoRead off stall, because a
user's read() request can be used to read the handshake response which
is invisible to the user.
Modifications:
- SslHandler now issues a read() request when:
- the current handshake is in progress and channelReadComplete() is
invoked
- the current handshake is complete and a user issued a read() request
during handshake
- Rename flushedBeforeHandshakeDone to flushedBeforeHandshake for
consistency with the new variable 'readDuringHandshake'
Result:
SslHandler should work regardless whether autoRead is on or off.
Related: #3125
Motivation:
We did not expose a way to initiate TLS renegotiation and to get
notified when the renegotiation is done.
Modifications:
- Add SslHandler.renegotiate() so that a user can initiate TLS
renegotiation and get the future that's notified on completion
- Make SslHandler.handshakeFuture() return the future for the most
recent handshake so that a user can get the future of the last
renegotiation
- Add the test for renegotiation to SocketSslEchoTest
Result:
Both client-initiated and server-initiated renegotiations are now
supported properly.
Related: #3219
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() does not call ctx.flush() when channel is
not writable. This can be a problem when other handler / non-Netty
thread writes messages simultaneously, because
ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() might have no chance to observe
channel.isWritable() returns true and thus the channel is never flushed.
Modifications:
- Ensure that ChunkedWriteHandler.flush() calls ctx.flush() at least
once.
Result:
A stall connection issue, that occurs when certain combination of
handlers exist in a pipeline, has been fixed. (e.g. SslHandler and
ChunkedWriteHandler)
- Parameterize DomainNameMapping to make it useful for other use cases
than just mapping to SslContext
- Move DomainNameMapping to io.netty.util
- Clean-up the API documentation
- Make SniHandler.hostname and sslContext volatile because they can be
accessed by non-I/O threads
Motivation:
We use 3 (!) libraries to build mock objects - easymock, mockito, jmock.
Mockito and jMock pulls in the different versions of Hamcrest, and it
conflicts with the version pulled by jUnit.
Modifications:
- Replace mockito-all with mockito-core to avoid pulling in outdated
jUnit and Hamcrest
- Exclude junit-dep when pulling in jmock-junit4, because it pulls an
outdated Hamcrest version
- Pull in the hamcrest-library version used by jUnit explicitly
Result:
No more dependency hell that results in NoSuchMethodError during the
tests
Motivation:
When we need to host multiple server name with a single IP, it requires
the server to support Server Name Indication extension to serve clients
with proper certificate. So the SniHandler will host multiple
SslContext(s) and append SslHandler for requested hostname.
Modification:
* Added SniHandler to host multiple certifications in a single server
* Test case
Result:
User could use SniHandler to host multiple certifcates at a time.
It's server-side only.
Motivation:
JdkSslContext used SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA in its cipher suite list.
OpenSslServerContext used DES-CBC3-SHA in the same place in its cipher suite
list, which is equivalent to SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA.
This means the lists were out of sync. Furthermore, using
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA is not desirable as it uses DES, a weak cipher. Triple
DES should be used instead.
Modifications:
Replace SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA with SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA in
JdkSslContext.
Result:
The JdkSslContext and OpenSslServerContext cipher suite lists are now in sync.
Triple DES is used instead of DES, which is stronger.
Motivation:
RC4 is not a recommended cipher suite anymore, as the recent research
reveals, such as:
- http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
Modifications:
- Remove most RC4 cipher suites from the default cipher suites
- For backward compatibility, leave RC4-SHA, while de-prioritizing it
Result:
Potentially safer default
Motivation:
Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.
Modifications:
- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.
Result:
Performance improvements.
Motivation:
When ALPN/NPN is disabled, a user has to instantiate a new
ApplicationProtocolConfig with meaningless parameters.
Modifications:
- Add ApplicationProtocolConfig.DISABLED, the singleton instance
- Reject the constructor calls with Protocol.NONE, which doesn't make
much sense because a user should use DISABLED instead.
Result:
More user-friendly API when ALPN/NPN is not needed by a user.
Motivation:
Previous backport removed the old methods and constructors. They should
not be removed in 4.x but just deprecated in favor of the new methods
and constructors.
Modifications:
Add back the removed methods and constructors in SslContext and its
subtypes for backward compatibility.
Result:
Backward compatibility issues fixed.
Motivation:
Improvements were made on the main line to support ALPN and mutual
authentication for TLS. These should be backported.
Modifications:
- Backport commits from the master branch
- f8af84d599
- e74c8edba3
Result:
Support for ALPN and mutual authentication.
Motivation:
The SslHandler currently forces the use of a direct buffer for the input to the SSLEngine.wrap(..) operation. This allocation may not always be desired and should be conditionally done.
Modifications:
- Use the pre-existing wantsDirectBuffer variable as the condition to do the conversion.
Result:
- An allocation of a direct byte buffer and a copy of data is now not required for every SslHandler wrap operation.
Motivation:
The SslHandler wrap method requires that a direct buffer be passed to the SSLEngine.wrap() call. If the ByteBuf parameter does not have an underlying direct buffer then one is allocated in this method, but it is not released.
Modifications:
- Release the direct ByteBuffer only accessible in the scope of SslHandler.wrap
Result:
Memory leak in SslHandler.wrap is fixed.
Motivation:
Currently the last read/write throughput is calculated by first division,this will be 0 if the last read/write bytes < interval,change the order will get the correct result
Modifications:
Change the operator order from first do division to multiplication
Result:
Get the correct result instead of 0 when bytes are smaller than interval
Motivation:
handlerAdded and handlerRemoved were overriden but super was never
called, while it should.
Also add one missing information in the toString method.
Modifications:
Add the super corresponding call, and add checkInterval to the
toString() method
Result;
super method calls are correctly passed to the super implementation
part.
Motivation:
When constructing a FingerprintTrustManagerFactory from an Iterable of Strings, the fingerprints were correctly parsed but never added to the result array. The constructed FingerprintTrustManagerFactory consequently fails to validate any certificate.
Modifications:
I added a line to add each converted SHA-1 certificate fingerprint to the result array which then gets passed on to the next constructor.
Result:
Certificate fingerprints passed to the constructor are now correctly added to the array of valid fingerprints. The resulting FingerprintTrustManagerFactory object correctly validates certificates against the list of specified fingerprints.
Motivation:
In GitHub issue #2767 a bug was reported that the IPv4
default route leads to the ipfilter package denying
instead of accepting all addresses.
While the issue was reported for Netty 3.9, this bug
also applies to Netty 4 and higher.
Modifications:
When computing the subnet address from the CIDR prefix,
correctly handle the case where the prefix is set to zero.
Result:
Ipfilter accepts all addresses when passed the
IPv4 default route.
Related issue: #2741 and #2151
Motivation:
There is no way for ChunkedWriteHandler to know the progress of the
transfer of a ChannelInput. Therefore, ChannelProgressiveFutureListener
cannot get exact information about the progress of the transfer.
If you add a few methods that optionally provides the transfer progress
to ChannelInput, it becomes possible for ChunkedWriteHandler to notify
ChannelProgressiveFutureListeners.
If the input has no definite length, we can still use the progress so
far, and consider the length of the input as 'undefined'.
Modifications:
- Add ChunkedInput.progress() and ChunkedInput.length()
- Modify ChunkedWriteHandler to use progress() and length() to notify
the transfer progress
Result:
ChunkedWriteHandler now notifies ChannelProgressiveFutureListener.
Motivation:
Currently Traffic Shaping is using 1 timer only and could lead to
"partial" wrong bandwidth computation when "short" time occurs between
adding used bytes and when the TrafficCounter updates itself and finally
when the traffic is computed.
Indeed, the TrafficCounter is updated every x delay and it is at the
same time saved into "lastXxxxBytes" and set to 0. Therefore, when one
request the counter, it first updates the TrafficCounter with the added
used bytes. If this value is set just before the TrafficCounter is
updated, then the bandwidth computation will use the TrafficCounter with
a "0" value (this value being reset once the delay occurs). Therefore,
the traffic shaping computation is wrong in rare cases.
Secondly the traffic shapping should avoid if possible the "Timeout"
effect by not stopping reading or writing more than a maxTime, this
maxTime being less than the TimeOut limit.
Thirdly the traffic shapping in read had an issue since the readOp
was not set but should, turning in no read blocking from socket
point of view.
Modifications:
The TrafficCounter has 2 new methods that compute the time to wait
according to read or write) using in priority the currentXxxxBytes (as
before), but could used (if current is at 0) the lastXxxxxBytes, and
therefore having more chance to take into account the real traffic.
Moreover the Handler could change the default "max time to wait", which
is by default set to half of "standard" Time Out (30s:2 = 15s).
Finally we add the setAutoRead(boolean) accordingly to the situation,
as proposed in #2696 (this pull request is in error for unknown reason).
Result:
The Traffic Shaping is better take into account (no 0 value when it
shouldn't) and it tries to not block traffic more than Time Out event.
Moreover the read is really stopped from socket point of view.
This version is similar to #2388 and #2450.
This version is for V4.1, and includes the #2696 pull request
to ease the merge process.
It is compatible with master too.
Including also #2748
The test minimizes time check by reducing to 66ms steps (55s).
Motivation:
Sometimes ChannelHandler need to queue writes to some point and then process these. We currently have no datastructure for this so the user will use an Queue or something like this. The problem is with this Channel.isWritable() will not work as expected and so the user risk to write to fast. That's exactly what happened in our SslHandler. For this purpose we need to add a special datastructure which will also take care of update the Channel and so be sure that Channel.isWritable() works as expected.
Modifications:
- Add PendingWriteQueue which can be used for this purpose
- Make use of PendingWriteQueue in SslHandler
Result:
It is now possible to queue writes in a ChannelHandler and still have Channel.isWritable() working as expected. This also fixes#2752.
Motivation:
Currently it is not possible to load an encrypted private key when
creating a JDK based SSL server context.
Modifications:
- Added static method to JdkSslServerContext which handles key spec generation for (encrypted) private keys and make use of it.
-Added tests for creating a SSL server context based on a (encrypted)
private key.
Result:
It is now possible to create a JDK based SSL server context with an
encrypted (password protected) private key.
Motivation:
Message from FindBugs:
This method performs synchronization an object that is an instance of a class from the java.util.concurrent package (or its subclasses). Instances of these classes have their own concurrency control mechanisms that are orthogonal to the synchronization provided by the Java keyword synchronized. For example, synchronizing on an AtomicBoolean will not prevent other threads from modifying the AtomicBoolean.
Such code may be correct, but should be carefully reviewed and documented, and may confuse people who have to maintain the code at a later date.
Modification:
Use synchronized(this)
Result:
Less confusing code
Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check HAProxyProxiedProtocol in HAProxyMessage constructor and throw NPE if it is null.
If HAProxyProxiedProtocol is null we will set AddressFamily as null. So we will get NPE inside checkAddress(String, AddressFamily) and it won't be easy to understand why addrFamily is null.
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
If !mqttConnectVariableHeader.isWillFlag() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasUserName() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasPassword() we will get NPE when we will try to create new instance of MqttConnectPayload.
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null check in DefaultStompFrame(StompCommand) constructor.
Because we have this check in the super class.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.
Result:
Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
Motivation:
There is no way for a ChannelHandler to check if the passed in ChannelPromise for a write(...) call is a VoidChannelPromise. This is a problem as some handlers need to add listeners to the ChannelPromise which is not possible in the case of a VoidChannelPromise.
Modification:
- Introduce ChannelFuture.isVoid() which will return true if it is not possible to add listeners or wait on the result.
- Add ChannelPromise.unvoid() which allows to create a ChannelFuture out of a void ChannelFuture which supports all the operations.
Result:
It's now easy to write ChannelHandler implementations which also works when a void ChannelPromise is used.
Motivation:
When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.
FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.
Modifications:
- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9
Result:
- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
performance of FastThreadLocal even more.
Motivation:
Provide a faster ThreadLocal implementation
Modification:
Add a "FastThreadLocal" which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals (all of the static instances created by netty) that is around 10-20% faster than standard ThreadLocal in my benchmarks (and can be seen having an effect in the direct PooledByteBufAllocator benchmark that uses the DEFAULT ByteBufAllocator which uses this FastThreadLocal, as opposed to normal instantiations that do not, and in the new RecyclableArrayList benchmark);
Result:
Improved performance
Motivation:
ChannelTrafficShapingHandler may corrupt inbound data stream by
scheduling the fireChannelRead event.
Modification:
Always call fireChannelRead(...) and only suspend reads after it
Result:
No more data corruption
Motivation:
According to TLS ALPN draft-05, a client sends the list of the supported
protocols and a server responds with the selected protocol, which is
different from NPN. Therefore, ApplicationProtocolSelector won't work
with ALPN
Modifications:
- Use Iterable<String> to list the supported protocols on the client
side, rather than using ApplicationProtocolSelector
- Remove ApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
Future compatibility with TLS ALPN
Motivation:
- OpenSslEngine and JDK SSLEngine (+ Jetty NPN) have different APIs to
support NextProtoNego extension.
- It is impossible to configure NPN with SslContext when the provider
type is JDK.
Modification:
- Implement NextProtoNego extension by overriding the behavior of
SSLSession.getProtocol() for both OpenSSLEngine and JDK SSLEngine.
- SSLEngine.getProtocol() returns a string delimited by a colon (':')
where the first component is the transport protosol (e.g. TLSv1.2)
and the second component is the name of the application protocol
- Remove the direct reference of Jetty NPN classes from the examples
- Add SslContext.newApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
- A user can now use both JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine for NPN-based
protocols such as HTTP2 and SPDY
Motivation:
For an unknown reason, JVM of JDK8 crashes intermittently when
SslHandler feeds a direct buffer to SSLEngine.unwrap() *and* the current
cipher suite has GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) enabled.
Modifications:
Convert the inbound network buffer to a heap buffer when the current
cipher suite is using GCM.
Result:
JVM does not crash anymore.
Motivation:
JDK's SSLEngine.wrap() requires the output buffer to be always as large as MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH even if the input buffer contains small number of bytes. Our OpenSslEngine implementation does not have such wasteful behaviot.
Modifications:
If the current SSLEngine is OpenSslEngine, allocate as much as only needed.
Result:
Less peak memory usage.
Motivation:
Previous fix for the OpenSslEngine compatibility issue (#2216 and
18b0e95659) was to feed SSL records one by
one to OpenSslEngine.unwrap(). It is not optimal because it will result
in more JNI calls.
Modifications:
- Do not feed SSL records one by one.
- Feed as many records as possible up to MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH
- Deduplicate MAX_ENCRYPTED_PACKET_LENGTH definitions
Result:
- No allocation of intemediary arrays
- Reduced number of calls to SSLEngine and thus its underlying JNI calls
- A tad bit increase in throughput, probably reverting the tiny drop
caused by 18b0e95659
Motivation:
Some users already use an SSLEngine implementation in finagle-native. It
wraps OpenSSL to get higher SSL performance. However, to take advantage
of it, finagle-native must be compiled manually, and it means we cannot
pull it in as a dependency and thus we cannot test our SslHandler
against the OpenSSL-based SSLEngine. For an instance, we had #2216.
Because the construction procedures of JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
are very different from each other, we also need to provide a universal
way to enable SSL in a Netty application.
Modifications:
- Pull netty-tcnative in as an optional dependency.
http://netty.io/wiki/forked-tomcat-native.html
- Backport NativeLibraryLoader from 4.0
- Move OpenSSL-based SSLEngine implementation into our code base.
- Copied from finagle-native; originally written by @jpinner et al.
- Overall cleanup by @trustin.
- Run all SslHandler tests with both default SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
- Add a unified API for creating an SSL context
- SslContext allows you to create a new SSLEngine or a new SslHandler
with your PKCS#8 key and X.509 certificate chain.
- Add JdkSslContext and its subclasses
- Add OpenSslServerContext
- Add ApplicationProtocolSelector to ensure the future support for NPN
(NextProtoNego) and ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation) on
the client-side.
- Add SimpleTrustManagerFactory to help a user write a
TrustManagerFactory easily, which should be useful for those who need
to write an alternative verification mechanism. For example, we can
use it to implement an unsafe TrustManagerFactory that accepts
self-signed certificates for testing purposes.
- Add InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManager for quick
and dirty testing
- Add SelfSignedCertificate class which generates a self-signed X.509
certificate very easily.
- Update all our examples to use SslContext.newClient/ServerContext()
- SslHandler now logs the chosen cipher suite when handshake is
finished.
Result:
- Cleaner unified API for configuring an SSL client and an SSL server
regardless of its internal implementation.
- When native libraries are available, OpenSSL-based SSLEngine
implementation is selected automatically to take advantage of its
performance benefit.
- Examples take advantage of this modification and thus are cleaner.
Motivation:
When writing data from a server before the ssl handshake completes may not be written at all to the remote peer
if nothing else is written after the handshake was done.
Modification:
Correctly try to write pending data after the handshake was complete
Result:
Correctly write out all pending data
Motivation:
As discussed in #2250, it will become much less complicated to implement
deregistration and reregistration of a channel once #2250 is resolved.
Therefore, there's no need to deprecate deregister() and
channelUnregistered().
Modification:
- Undeprecate deregister() and channelUnregistered()
- Remove SuppressWarnings annotations where applicable
Result:
We (including @jakobbuchgraber) are now ready to play with #2250 at
master
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker.writeAndFlush(...) and the related
implementations.
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Fix found differences
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.
Motivation:
Some SSLEngine implementations violate the contract and raises an
exception when SslHandler feeds an input buffer that contains multiple
SSL records to SSLEngine.unwrap(), while the expected behavior is to
decode the first record and return.
Modification:
- Modify SslHandler.decode() to keep the lengths of each record and feed
SSLEngine.unwrap() record by record to work around the forementioned
issue.
- Rename unwrap() to unwrapMultiple() and unwrapNonApp()
- Rename unwrap0() to unwrapSingle()
Result:
SslHandler now works OpenSSLEngine from finagle-native. Performance
impact remains unnoticeable. Slightly better readability. Fixes#2116.
Motivation:
Some Android SSLEngine implementations skip FINISHED handshake status
and go straightly into NOT_HANDSHAKING. This behavior blocks SslHandler
from notifying its handshakeFuture, because we do the notification when
SSLEngine enters the FINISHED state.
Modification:
When the current handshake state is NOT_HANDSHAKING and the
handshakeFuture is not fulfilled yet, treat NOT_HANDSHAKING as FINISHED.
Result:
Better Android compatibility - fixes#1823
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
In SslHandler.safeClose(...) we attach a ChannelFutureListener to the flushFuture and will notify the ChannelPromise which was used for close(...) in it. The problem here is that we only call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) if Channel.isActive() is true and otherwise not notify it at all. We should just call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in all cases.
Modifications:
Always call ChannelHandlerContext.close(ChannelPromise) in the ChannelFutureListeiner
Result:
ChannelPromise used for close the Channel is notified in all cases
Motivation:
In ChunkedWriteHandler, there is a redundant variable that servers
no purpose. It implies that under some conditions you might not want
to flush.
Modifications:
Removed the variable and the if condition that read it. The boolean
was always true so just removing the if statement was fine.
Result:
Slightly less misleading code.
Motivation:
Currently we use System.currentTimeMillis() in our timeout handlers this is bad
for various reasons like when the clock adjusts etc.
Modifications:
Replace System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime()
Result:
More robust timeout handling
Motivation:
We don't really need to propagate an event when handling the event fails.
Modifications:
Do not use finally block in AbstractRemoteAddressFilter
Result:
AbstractRemoteaddressFilter does not forward an event in case of failure.
Motivation:
Recently merged ipfilter package has the following problems:
* AbstractIpFilterHandler could be improved to support any SocketAddress types rather than only InetSocketAddress.
* AbstractIpFilterHandler can be removed immediately after decision is made rather than keeping the outcome of the decision as an attribute.
* AbstractIpFilterHandler doesn't have a hook for the accepted addresses.
* The hook method (reject()) needs to be named in line with other handler methods (i.e. channelRejected())
* IpFilterRuleHandler should allow accepting zero rules - it's particularly useful for machine-configured setup (i.e. specifying zero rules disables ipfilter).
* IpFilterRuleType.ALLOW/DENY should be ACCEPT/REJECT for consistency.
Modifications:
* AbstractIpFilterHandler has been renamed to AbstractRemoteAddressFilter and now uses type parameter.
* Added channelAccepted() and renamed reject() to channelRejected()
* Added ChannelHandlerContext as a parameter of accept() so that accept() can add a listener to the closeFuture() of the channel. This way, UniqueIpFilter continue working even if we remove the filtering handler early.
* Various renames
* IpFilterRuleHandler -> RuleBasedIpFilter
* UniqueIpFilterHandler -> UniqueIpFilter
Result:
* Much cleaner API with more extensibility
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler can sometimes fail to write the last chunk of a ChunkedInput due to an I/O error. Subsequently, the ChunkedInput's associated promise is marked as failure and the connection is closed. When the connection is closed, ChunkedWriteHandler attempts to clean up its message queue and to mark their promises as success or failure. However, because the promise of the ChunkedInput, which was consumed completely yet failed to be written, is already marked as failure, the attempt to mark it as success fails, leading a WARN level log.
Modification:
Use trySuccess() instead of setSuccess() so that the attempt to mark a ChunkedInput as success does not raise an exception even if the promise is already done.
Result:
Fixes#2249
- Use ': ' instead of '(...)' for simpler string concatenation and prettier presentation
- Optimize the overall performance of format*() methods
- All format*() methods are now expected to encode the channel information by themselves so that StringBuilder instances are created less often.
- Use a look-up table for generating per-row prefixes
- Hid formatByteBuf(), formatByteBufHolder(), and formatNonByteBuf() from user because a user can always override format(ctx, eventName, arg). For example, to disable hexdump:
protected void format(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, String eventName, Object arg) {
if (arg instanceof ByteBuf) {
super.format(ctx, eventName, arg.toString());
} else {
super.format(ctx, eventName, arg);
}
}
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
- Fixes#1905
- Call ctx.flush() only when necessary
- Improve the estimation of application and packet buffer sizes
- decode() method now tries to call unwrap() with as many SSL records as
possible to reduce the number of events triggered
The old implementation was broken and could lead to pending message never be picked up again until the user either explicit called flush or
resumeTransfer().
Fix for first issue from #1652 on computation of time to wait in AbstractTrafficShapingHandler for Netty 4, using the same formula than in Netty 3 (wrong place for parenthese).
Was:
(bytes * 1000 / limit - interval / 10) * 10;
Becomes:
(bytes * 1000 / limit - interval) / 10 * 10;
- Fix a bug in DefaultProgressivePromise.tryProgress() where the notification is dropped
- Fix a bug in AbstractChannel.calculateMessageSize() where FileRegion is not counted
- HttpStaticFileServer example now uses zero copy file transfer if possible.
- write() now accepts a ChannelPromise and returns ChannelFuture as most
users expected. It makes the user's life much easier because it is
now much easier to get notified when a specific message has been
written.
- flush() does not create a ChannelPromise nor returns ChannelFuture.
It is now similar to what read() looks like.
- Remove channelReadSuspended because it's actually same with messageReceivedLast
- Rename messageReceived to channelRead
- Rename messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete
We renamed messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete because it
reflects what it really is for. Also, we renamed messageReceived to
channelRead for consistency in method names.
I must admit MesageList was pain in the ass. Instead of forcing a
handler always loop over the list of messages, this commit splits
messageReceived(ctx, list) into two event handlers:
- messageReceived(ctx, msg)
- mmessageReceivedLast(ctx)
When Netty reads one or more messages, messageReceived(ctx, msg) event
is triggered for each message. Once the current read operation is
finished, messageReceivedLast() is triggered to tell the handler that
the last messageReceived() was the last message in the current batch.
Similarly, for outbound, write(ctx, list) has been split into two:
- write(ctx, msg)
- flush(ctx, promise)
Instead of writing a list of message with a promise, a user is now
supposed to call write(msg) multiple times and then call flush() to
actually flush the buffered messages.
Please note that write() doesn't have a promise with it. You must call
flush() to get notified on completion. (or you can use writeAndFlush())
Other changes:
- Because MessageList is completely hidden, codec framework uses
List<Object> instead of MessageList as an output parameter.
The API changes made so far turned out to increase the memory footprint
and consumption while our intention was actually decreasing them.
Memory consumption issue:
When there are many connections which does not exchange data frequently,
the old Netty 4 API spent a lot more memory than 3 because it always
allocates per-handler buffer for each connection unless otherwise
explicitly stated by a user. In a usual real world load, a client
doesn't always send requests without pausing, so the idea of having a
buffer whose life cycle if bound to the life cycle of a connection
didn't work as expected.
Memory footprint issue:
The old Netty 4 API decreased overall memory footprint by a great deal
in many cases. It was mainly because the old Netty 4 API did not
allocate a new buffer and event object for each read. Instead, it
created a new buffer for each handler in a pipeline. This works pretty
well as long as the number of handlers in a pipeline is only a few.
However, for a highly modular application with many handlers which
handles connections which lasts for relatively short period, it actually
makes the memory footprint issue much worse.
Changes:
All in all, this is about retaining all the good changes we made in 4 so
far such as better thread model and going back to the way how we dealt
with message events in 3.
To fix the memory consumption/footprint issue mentioned above, we made a
hard decision to break the backward compatibility again with the
following changes:
- Remove MessageBuf
- Merge Buf into ByteBuf
- Merge ChannelInboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelStateHandler into ChannelInboundHandler
- Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Merge ChannelOutboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelOperationHandler into ChannelOutboundHandler
- Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Introduce MessageList which is similar to `MessageEvent` in Netty 3
- Replace inboundBufferUpdated(ctx) with messageReceived(ctx, MessageList)
- Replace flush(ctx, promise) with write(ctx, MessageList, promise)
- Remove ByteToByteEncoder/Decoder/Codec
- Replaced by MessageToByteEncoder<ByteBuf>, ByteToMessageDecoder<ByteBuf>, and ByteMessageCodec<ByteBuf>
- Merge EmbeddedByteChannel and EmbeddedMessageChannel into EmbeddedChannel
- Add SimpleChannelInboundHandler which is sometimes more useful than
ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter
- Bring back Channel.isWritable() from Netty 3
- Add ChannelInboundHandler.channelWritabilityChanges() event
- Add RecvByteBufAllocator configuration property
- Similar to ReceiveBufferSizePredictor in Netty 3
- Some existing configuration properties such as
DatagramChannelConfig.receivePacketSize is gone now.
- Remove suspend/resumeIntermediaryDeallocation() in ByteBuf
This change would have been impossible without @normanmaurer's help. He
fixed, ported, and improved many parts of the changes.
- Fixes#1366: No elegant way to free non-in/outbound buffers held by a handler
- handlerRemoved() is now also invoked when a channel is deregistered, as well as when a handler is removed from a pipeline.
- A little bit of clean-up for readability
- Fix a bug in forwardBufferContentAndRemove() where the handler buffers are not freed (mainly because we were relying on channel.isRegistered() to determine if the handler has been removed from inside the handler.
- ChunkedWriteHandler.handlerRemoved() is unnecessary anymore because ChannelPipeline now always forwards the content of the buffer.
- Fixes#1308
freeInboundBuffer() and freeOutboundBuffer() were introduced in the early days of the new API when we did not have reference counting mechanism in the buffer. A user did not want Netty to free the handler buffers had to override these methods.
However, now that we have reference counting mechanism built into the buffer, a user who wants to retain the buffers beyond handler's life cycle can simply return the buffer whose reference count is greater than 1 in newInbound/OutboundBuffer().
This change also introduce a few other changes which was needed:
* ChannelHandler.beforeAdd(...) and ChannelHandler.beforeRemove(...) were removed
* ChannelHandler.afterAdd(...) -> handlerAdded(...)
* ChannelHandler.afterRemoved(...) -> handlerRemoved(...)
* SslHandler.handshake() -> SslHandler.hanshakeFuture() as the handshake is triggered automatically after
the Channel becomes active
- Rename ChannelHandlerAdapter to ChannelDuplexHandler
- Add ChannelHandlerAdapter that implements only ChannelHandler
- Rename CombinedChannelHandler to CombinedChannelDuplexHandler and
improve runtime validation
- Remove ChannelInbound/OutboundHandlerAdapter which are not useful
- Make ChannelOutboundByteHandlerAdapter similar to
ChannelInboundByteHandlerAdapter
- Make the tail and head handler of DefaultChannelPipeline accept both
bytes and messages. ChannelHandlerContext.hasNext*() were removed
because they always return true now.
- Removed various unnecessary null checks.
- Correct method/field names:
inboundBufferSuspended -> channelReadSuspended
- Move common methods from ByteBuf to Buf
- Rename ensureWritableBytes() to ensureWritable()
- Rename readable() to isReadable()
- Rename writable() to isWritable()
- Add isReadable(int) and isWritable(int)
- Add AbstractMessageBuf
- Rewrite DefaultMessageBuf and QueueBackedMessageBuf
- based on Josh Bloch's public domain ArrayDeque impl
This pull request adds two new handler methods: discardInboundReadBytes(ctx) and discardOutboundReadBytes(ctx) to ChannelInboundByteHandler and ChannelOutboundByteHandler respectively. They are called between every inboundBufferUpdated() and flush() respectively. Their default implementation is to call discardSomeReadBytes() on their buffers and a user can override this behavior easily. For example, ReplayingDecoder.discardInboundReadBytes() looks like the following:
@Override
public void discardInboundReadBytes(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
ByteBuf in = ctx.inboundByteBuffer();
final int oldReaderIndex = in.readerIndex();
super.discardInboundReadBytes(ctx);
final int newReaderIndex = in.readerIndex();
checkpoint -= oldReaderIndex - newReaderIndex;
}
If a handler, which has its own buffer index variable, extends ReplayingDecoder or ByteToMessageDecoder, the handler can also override discardInboundReadBytes() and adjust its index variable accordingly.
This pull request introduces a new operation called read() that replaces the existing inbound traffic control method. EventLoop now performs socket reads only when the read() operation has been issued. Once the requested read() operation is actually performed, EventLoop triggers an inboundBufferSuspended event that tells the handlers that the requested read() operation has been performed and the inbound traffic has been suspended again. A handler can decide to continue reading or not.
Unlike other outbound operations, read() does not use ChannelFuture at all to avoid GC cost. If there's a good reason to create a new future per read at the GC cost, I'll change this.
This pull request consequently removes the readable property in ChannelHandlerContext, which means how the traffic control works changed significantly.
This pull request also adds a new configuration property ChannelOption.AUTO_READ whose default value is true. If true, Netty will call ctx.read() for you. If you need a close control over when read() is called, you can set it to false.
Another interesting fact is that non-terminal handlers do not really need to call read() at all. Only the last inbound handler will have to call it, and that's just enough. Actually, you don't even need to call it at the last handler in most cases because of the ChannelOption.AUTO_READ mentioned above.
There's no serious backward compatibility issue. If the compiler complains your handler does not implement the read() method, add the following:
public void read(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
ctx.read();
}
Note that this pull request certainly makes bounded inbound buffer support very easy, but itself does not add the bounded inbound buffer support.
- Fixes#826
Unsafe.isFreed(), free(), suspend/resumeIntermediaryAllocations() are not that dangerous. internalNioBuffer() and internalNioBuffers() are dangerous but it seems like nobody is using it even inside Netty. Removing those two methods also removes the necessity to keep Unsafe interface at all.
* UnsafeByteBuf is gone. I added ByteBuf.unsafe() back.
* To avoid extra instantiation, all ByteBuf implementations implement the ByteBuf.Unsafe interface.
* To hide this implementation detail, all ByteBuf implementations are package-private.
* AbstractByteBuf and SwappedByteBuf are public and they do not implement ByteBuf.Unsafe because they don't need to.
* unwrap() is not an unsafe operation anymore.
* ChannelBuf also has unsafe() and Unsafe. ByteBuf.Unsafe extends ChannelBuf.unsafe(). ChannelBuf.unsafe() provides free() operation so that a user does not need to down-cast the buffer in freeInbound/OutboundBuffer().
This commit introduces a new API for ByteBuf allocation which fixes
issue #643 along with refactoring of ByteBuf for simplicity and better
performance. (see #62)
A user can configure the ByteBufAllocator of a Channel via
ChannelOption.ALLOCATOR or ChannelConfig.get/setAllocator(). The
default allocator is currently UnpooledByteBufAllocator.HEAP_BY_DEFAULT.
To allocate a buffer, do not use Unpooled anymore. do the following:
ctx.alloc().buffer(...); // allocator chooses the buffer type.
ctx.alloc().heapBuffer(...);
ctx.alloc().directBuffer(...);
To deallocate a buffer, use the unsafe free() operation:
((UnsafeByteBuf) buf).free();
The following is the list of the relevant changes:
- Add ChannelInboundHandler.freeInboundBuffer() and
ChannelOutboundHandler.freeOutboundBuffer() to let a user free the
buffer he or she allocated. ChannelHandler adapter classes implement
is already, so most users won't need to call free() by themselves.
freeIn/OutboundBuffer() methods are invoked when a Channel is closed
and deregistered.
- All ByteBuf by contract must implement UnsafeByteBuf. To access an
unsafe operation: ((UnsafeByteBuf) buf).internalNioBuffer()
- Replace WrappedByteBuf and ByteBuf.Unsafe with UnsafeByteBuf to
simplify overall class hierarchy and to avoid unnecesary instantiation
of Unsafe instances on an unsafe operation.
- Remove buffer reference counting which is confusing
- Instantiate SwappedByteBuf lazily to avoid instantiation cost
- Rename ChannelFutureFactory to ChannelPropertyAccess and move common
methods between Channel and ChannelHandlerContext there. Also made it
package-private to hide it from a user.
- Remove unused unsafe operations such as newBuffer()
- Add DetectionUtil.canFreeDirectBuffer() so that an allocator decides
which buffer type to use safely
- Replace ByteBufferBackedByteBuf with DirectByteBuf
- Make DirectByteBuf and HeapByteBuf dynamic
- Remove DynamicByteBuf
- Replace Unpooled.dynamicBuffer() with Unpooled.buffer() and
directBuffer()
- Remove ByteBufFactory (will be replaced with ByteBufPool later)
- Add ByteBuf.Unsafe (might change in the future)
- ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler does not have a type
parameter anymore.
- User should implement ChannelInboundMessageHandler or
ChannelOutboundMessageHandler.
- Add MessageBuf which replaces java.util.Queue
- Add ChannelBuf which is common type of ByteBuf and ChannelBuf
- ChannelBuffers was renamed to ByteBufs
- Add MessageBufs
- All these changes are going to replace ChannelBufferHolder.
- ChannelBuffer gives a perception that it's a buffer of a
channel, but channel's buffer is now a byte buffer or a message
buffer. Therefore letting it be as is is going to be confusing.
- Also prohibited a user from overriding
ChannelInbound(Byte|Message)HandlerAdapter. If a user wants to do
that, he or she should extend ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter instead.
- In computing, 'stream' means both byte stream and message stream,
which is confusing.
- Also, we were already mixing stream and byte in some places and
it's better use the terms consistently.
(e.g. inboundByteBuffer & inbound stream)
- SslHandler always begins handshake unless startTls is true
- Removed issueHandshake property
- If a user wants to start handshake later, he/she has to add
SslHandler later.
- Removed enableRenegotiation property
- JDK upgrade fixes the security vulnerability - no need to complicate
our code
- Some property name changes
- getSSLEngineInboundCloseFuture() -> sslCloseFuture()
- Updated securechat example
- Added timeout for handshake and close_notify for better security
- However, it's currently hard-coded. Will make it a property later.
- LoggingHandler now only logs state and operations
- StreamLoggingHandler and MessageLoggingHandler log the buffer content
- Added ChannelOperationHandlerAdapter
- Used by WriteTimeoutHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelInboundHandler into
ChannelStateHandler
- Extracted some handler methods from ChannelOutboundHandler into
ChannelOperationHandler
- Moved exceptionCaught and userEventTriggered are now in
ChannelHandler
- Channel(Inbound|Outbound)HandlerContext is merged into
ChannelHandlerContext
- ChannelHandlerContext adds direct access methods for inboud and
outbound buffers
- The use of ChannelBufferHolder is minimal now.
- Before: inbound().byteBuffer()
- After: inboundByteBuffer()
- Simpler and better performance
- Bypass buffer types were removed because it just does not work at all
with the thread model.
- All handlers that uses a bypass buffer are broken. Will fix soon.
- CombinedHandlerAdapter does not make sense anymore either because
there are four handler interfaces to consider and often the two
handlers will implement the same handler interface such as
ChannelStateHandler. Thinking of better ways to provide this feature
- Removed ones are: IP filer and HTTP multipart codec
- Needs closer code review and polishing
- Sorry. I'll add them back in the next alpha releases
- SSL handler and ChunkedWriteHandler also need more work, but
I really want to make them part of the first alpha because they
are used pretty often by users.
... just like we do with byte arrays. toByteBuffer() and
toByteBuffers() had an indeterministic behavior and thus it could not
tell when the returned NIO buffer is shared or not. nioBuffer() always
returns a view buffer of the Netty buffer. The only case where
hasNioBuffer() returns false and nioBuffer() fails is the
CompositeChannelBuffer, which is not very commonly used and *slow*.
- Add EventExecutor and make EventLoop extend it
- Add SingleThreadEventExecutor and MultithreadEventExecutor
- Add EventExecutor's default implementation
- Fixed an API design problem where there is no way to get non-bypass
buffer of desired type
- The default behavior is now to close the channel on timeout. A user
can override this behavior, but I would just use IdleStateHandler or
use eventLoop's timer facility directly for finer control.
- Add ChannelHandlerContext.eventLoop() for convenience
- Bootstrap and ServerBootstrap handles channel initialization failure
better
- More strict checks for missing @Sharable annotation
- A handler without @Sharable annotation cannot be added more than
once now.
- Previous API did not support the pipeline which contains multiple
MessageToStreamEncoders because there was no way to find the closest
outbound byte buffer. Now you always get the correct buffer even if
the handler that provides the buffer is placed distantly.
For example:
Channel -> MsgAEncoder -> MsgBEncoder -> MsgCEncoder
Msg(A|B|C)Encoder will all have access to the channel's outbound
byte buffer. Previously, it was simply impossible.
- Improved ChannelBufferHolder.toString()
- Replaced FrameDecoder and OneToOne(Encoder|Decoder) with:
- (Stream|Message)To(String|Message)(Encoder|Decoder)
- Moved the classes in 'codec.frame' up to 'codec'
- Fixed some bugs found while running unit tests
- Added ChannelBufferHolders.(inbound|outbound)BypassBuffer()
- The holder returned by these methods returns the next handler's
buffer. When a handler's new(Inbound|Outbound)Buffer returns
a bypass holder, your inboundBufferUpdated() and flush()
implementation should check if the buffer is a bypass and should not
modify the content of the buffer.
- Channel(Inbound|Outbound)?HandlerAdapter is now abstract.
- A user has to specify the exact inbound/outbound buffer type
- It's because there's no way to determine the best buffer type
- Implemented LoggingHandler using the new API.
- It doesn't dump received or sent messages yet.
- Fixed a bug where DefaultUnsafe.close() does not trigger deregister()
- Fixed a bug where NioSocketChannel.isActive() does not return false
when closed
- Channel now creates a ChannelPipeline by itself
I find no reason to allow a user to use one's own pipeline
implementation since I saw nobody does except for the cases where a
user wants to add a user attribute to a channel, which is now covered
by AttributeMap.
- Removed ChannelEvent and its subtypes because they are replaced by
direct method invocation.
- Replaced ChannelSink with Channel.unsafe()
- Various getter renaming (e.g. Channel.getId() -> Channel.id())
- Added ChannelHandlerInvoker interface
- Implemented AbstractChannel and AbstractServerChannel
- Some other changes I don't remember
1) ReadTimeoutHandler is also affected by this bug - fixed
2) Reverted IdleStateHandler.beforeAdd() and channelConnected() -
without isAttached() check, timeout can be inaccurate if beforeAdd() is
called long before channelConnected().
1) Do not rely on ChannelPipeline.isAttached() to ensure initialize() is
called once.
2) Fix a race condition where initialize() can schedule timeouts after
destroy() is called.
Merge in fix for threading (related to #140 and #187). This also includes the new feature that allow to submit a Runnable that gets executed later in the io thread.
Split the project into the following modules:
* common
* buffer
* codec
* codec-http
* transport
* transport-*
* handler
* example
* testsuite (integration tests that involve 2+ modules)
* all (does nothing yet, but will make it generate netty.jar)
This commit also fixes the compilation errors with transport-sctp on
non-Linux systems. It will at least compile without complaints.
