Motivation:
When the ImmediateEventExecutor is in use it is possible to get a StackOverFlowException if when a promise completes a new listener is added to that promise.
Modifications:
- Protect against the case where LateListeners.run() smashes the stack.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4395
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler.BaseBuilder is constructing objects which have 'close' methods, but is not calling these methods in the event of an exception.
Modifications:
- Objects which implement 'close' should have this method called if an exception is thrown and the build operation can not complete normally.
Result:
Objects are closed even if the build process encounters an error.
Motivation:
The build fails on OSX, due to it trying to pull in an epoll specific OSX dependency. See #4409.
Modifications:
* move netty-transport-native-epoll to linux profile
* exclude Http2FrameWriterBenchmark from compiler
* include Http2FrameWriterBenchmark back only in linux profile (please check)
Result:
Build succeeds on OSX.
Motiviation:
If a user writes from outside the EventLoop we increase the pending bytes of the outbound buffer before submitting the write request. This is done so the user can stop writing asap once the channel turns unwritable. Unfortunally this doesn't take the overhead of adding the task into the account and so it is very easy for an user to full up the task queue. Beside this we use a value of 0 for an unown message by default which is not ideal.
Modifications:
- port the message calculation we used in netty 3.x into AbstractChannelHandlerContext and so better calculate the overhead of a message that is submitted from outside the EventLoop
- change the default estimated size for an unknown message to 8.
Result:
Better behaviour when submiting writes from outside the EventLoop.
Keep RTSPRequestEncoder, RTSPRequestDecoder, RTSPResponseEncoder and
RTSPResponseDecoder for backwards compatibility but they now just extends
the generic encoder/decoder and are markes as deprecated.
Renamed the decoder test, because the decoder is now generic. Added
testcase for when ANNOUNCE request is received from server.
Created testcases for encoder.
Mark abstract base classes RTSPObjectEncoder and RTSPObjectDecoder as
deprecated, that functionality is now in RTSPEncoder and RTSPDecoder.
Added annotation in RtspHeaders to suppress warnings about deprecation, no need when
whole class is deprecated.
Motivation:
Fix a race condition that was introduced by f18990a8a5 that could lead to a NPE when allocate from the PooledByteBufAllocator concurrently by many threads.
Modifications:
Correctly synchronize on the PoolSubPage head.
Result:
No more race.
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:
Once a FixedChannelPool was closed we must not allow to acquire or release Channels to prevent assert errors.
Modifications:
Fail release and acquire calls when FixedChannelPool is closed.
Result:
No more assert errors.1
Motiviation:
We have a lot of duplicated code which makes it hard to maintain.
Modification:
Move shared code to UnsafeByteBufUtil and use it in the implementations.
Result:
Less duplicated code and so easier to maintain.
Motiviation:
We have a lot of duplicated code which makes it hard to maintain.
Modification:
Move shared code to HeapByteBufUtil and use it in the implementations.
Result:
Less duplicated code and so easier to maintain.
Motivation:
As MaxMessageHandle is stateful we can not share the same HandleImpl instance as otherwise we will see race conditions.
Modifications:
Create a new HandleImpl instance on each newHandle() call.
Result:
No more races.
Motivation:
sun.misc.Unsafe allows us to handle heap ByteBuf in a more efficient matter. We should use special ByteBuf implementation when sun.misc.Unsafe can be used to increase performance.
Modifications:
- Add PooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf and UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf that are used when sun.misc.Unsafe is ready to use.
- Add UnsafeHeapSwappedByteBuf
Result:
Better performance when using heap buffers and sun.misc.Unsafe is ready to use.
Motivation:
We had a bug in our implemention which double "reversed" bytes on systems which not support unaligned access.
Modifications:
- Correctly only reverse bytes if needed.
- Share code between unsafe implementations.
Result:
No more data-corruption on sytems without unaligned access.
Motivation:
When moving bytes between a PooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf or an UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf
and a ByteBuffer, a temp ByteBuffer is allocated and will need to be GCed. This is a
common case since a ByteBuffer is always needed when reading/writing on a file,
for example.
Modifications:
Use PlatformDependent.copyMemory() to avoid the need for the temp ByteBuffer
Result:
No temp ByteBuffer allocated and GCed.
Motivation:
SlicedByteBuf did double reference count checking for various bulk operations, which affects performance.
Modifications:
- Add package private method to AbstractByteBuf that can be used to check indexes without check the reference count
- Use this new method in the bulk operation os SlicedByteBuf as the reference count checks take place on the wrapped buffer anyway
- Fix test-case to not try to read data that is out of the bounds of the buffer.
Result:
Better performance on bulk operations when using SlicedByteBuf (and sub-classes)
Motivation:
We started the thread before store it in a field which could lead to an assert error when the thread is executed before we actually store it.
Modifications:
Store thread before start it.
Result:
No more assert error possible.
Motivation:
Some of the tests in the buffer module contained unused code. Some of the tests also used unnecessary inheritance which could be avoided to simplify code.
Modifications:
Cleanup the test cases.
Result:
Cleaner code, less cruft.
Motivation:
We need to always return a real slice even when the requested length is 0. This is needed as otherwise we not correctly share the reference count and so may leak a buffer if the user call release() on the returned slice and expect it to decrement the reference count of the "parent" buffer.
Modifications:
- Always return a real slice
- Add unit test for the bug.
Result:
No more leak possible when a user requests a slice of length 0 of a SlicedByteBuf.
Motivation:
Java_io_netty_channel_epoll_Native_getSoError incorrectly returns the value from the get socket option function.
Modifications:
- return the value from the result of the get socket option call
Result:
Java_io_netty_channel_epoll_Native_getSoError returns the correct value.
Motivation:
SlicedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is sliced.
Modifications:
- Add SlicedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.
Result:
Faster SlicedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.
Motivation:
DuplicatedByteBuf can be used for any ByteBuf implementations and so can not do any optimizations that could be done
when AbstractByteBuf is duplicated.
Modifications:
- Add DuplicatedAbstractByteBuf that can eliminate range and reference count checks for _get* and _set* methods.
Result:
Faster DuplicatedByteBuf implementations for AbstractByteBuf sub-classes.
Motivation:
Calling AbstractByteBuf.toString(..., Charset) is used quite frequently by users but produce a lot of GC.
Modification:
- Use a FastThreadLocal to store the CharBuffer that are needed for decoding.
- Use internalNioBuffer(...) when possible
Result:
Less object creation / Less GC
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:
As part of recent efforts to rectify performance and make 4.1 headers more similar to 5.0 some methods were deprecated. Some of these methods were deprecated because they used String instead of CharSequence in the signature, which may require casting at the user level. Some of the deprecated methods have no direct alternatives and were done to inform a user the method will go away in future releases.
Modifications:
- Remove the deprecated qualifier from methods where no direct replacement exists
Result:
Less warnings in user code.
Motiviation:
Checking reference count on every access on a ByteBuf can have some big performance overhead depending on how the access pattern is. If the user is sure that there are no reference count errors on his side it should be possible to disable the check and so gain the max performance.
Modification:
- Add io.netty.buffer.bytebuf.checkAccessible system property which allows to disable the checks. Enabled by default.
- Add microbenchmark
Result:
Increased performance for operations on the ByteBuf.
Motivation:
We should minimize and optimize bound checks as much as possible to get the most out of performance.
Modifications:
- Use bitwise operations to remove branching
- Remove branches when possible
Result:
Better performance for various operations.
Motivation:
Remove encoderMaxConcurrentStreams(...) and use the default settings. Also throw an exception if server mode is used.
Modifications:
- Remove encoderMaxConcurrentStreams(...) method
- Throw exception if server mode is used and trying to enforce conncurrent streams.
Result:
Correctly support settings stuff via builder
Motivation:
The proxy example contains some code that is not needed. This can confuse the reader.
Modifications:
Remove the not needed ctx.write(...).
Result:
Less confusing code.
Motivation:
EmbeddedChannelId#hashCode() and equals() do not behave correctly if an
instance is serialized and then deserialized. Additionally,
EmbeddedChannel does not allow use of any other type of ChannelId, and
EmbeddedChannelId is (mostly) a singleton instance. This creates a
problem for unit tests that construct multiple EmbeddedChannels and
expect each channel to have a unique ID.
Modifications:
EmbeddedChannelId is modified so equals() will return true and
hashCode() will return the same value for any instance of the class.
EmbeddedChannel is modified to allow a ChannelId to be specified when
the channel is constructed. Tests added for both changes.
Result:
EmbeddedChannelId now behaves correctly when deserialized, and
EmbeddedChannels can now have unique IDs.
Motivation:
ByteBufUtil.writeUtf8(...) / writeUsAscii(...) can use a fast-path when writing into AbstractByteBuf. We should try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf implementations so
we are able to do the same on wrapped AbstractByteBuf instances.
Modifications:
- Try to unwrap WrappedByteBuf to use the fast-path
Result:
Faster writing of utf8 and usascii for WrappedByteBuf instances.
Motivation:
As relaying on external DNS Server can result to test-failures we should better use a mock DNS Server for the dns tests.
Modifications:
- Refactor the DnsNameResolverTest to use a mock DNS Server which is using apacheds.
- Allow to disable adding an opt resources as some servers not support it.
Result:
More stable testsuite.
Motivation:
As toString() is often used while logging we need to ensure this produces no exception.
Modifications:
Ensure we never throw an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Result:
Be able to log without produce exceptions.
Motivation:
PendingWriteQueueTest needs some cleanup.
Modifications:
- Cleanup code to remove deprecation warnings
- use static imports
Result:
No more warnings
Motivation:
The logic in ByteBufUtilTest.ByteBufUtilTest is wrong. It is attempting to ensure at least 1 byte is different in the ranges that will be subsequently compared, but does so before the copy operation.
Modifications:
- Move the code which ensures there is a difference to after the copy
- Simplify the logic which ensures there is a difference
Result:
Unit test now operates as designed.
Motivation:
At the moment we only forward decoded messages that were added the out List once the full decode loop was completed. This has the affect that resources may not be released as fast as possible and as an application may incounter higher latency if the user triggeres a writeAndFlush(...) as a result of the decoded messages.
Modifications:
- forward decoded messages after each decode call
Result:
Forwarding decoded messages through the pipeline in a more eager fashion.
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:
We missed to run all pending tasks when EmbeddedChannel.close(...) or disconnect(...) was called. Because of this channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) of the handlers were never called.
Modifications:
Correctly run all pending tasks and cancel all not ready scheduled tasks when close or disconnect was called.
Result:
Correctly run tasks on close / disconnect and have channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) called.
Motivation:
We had an unused paramter on a method, we should just remove it to keep code clean.
Modifications:
- Remove parameter
- Fix typo in javadoc
Result:
Cleanup done.
Motivation:
If a RDHUP and IN event occurred at the same time it is possible we may not read all pending data on the channel. We should ensure we read data before processing the RDHUP event.
Modifications:
- Process the RDHUP event before the IN event.
Result:
Data will not be dropped.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4317
Motivation:
EPOLL attempts to support half closed socket, but fails to call shutdown to close the read portion of the file descriptor.
Motivation:
- If half closed is supported shutting down the input should call underlying Native.shutdown(...) to make sure the peer is notified of the half closed state.
Result:
EPOLL half closed is more correct.
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:
ByteBufUtilTest.notEqualsBufferSubsections is testing non-equality but just uses random numbers to assume they will not be equal. Even after the random bytes are generated we should check they are infact not equal so the test has no chance of failing when it should not.
Modifications:
- Loop through bytes in notEqualsBufferSubsections after they are randomly generated to ensure there is atleast 1 difference.
Result:
More reliable unit tests.
Motivation:
When dealing with case insensitive headers it can be useful to have a case insensitive contains method for CharSequence.
Modifications:
- Add containsCaseInsensative to AsciiString
Result:
More expressive utility method for case insensitive CharSequence.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder writes a ACK when receiving a ping frame and sends the same data buffer it received. The data buffer is also passed to the listener, but the indexes are shared between the send and the listener. We should ensure the indexes are independent for these two operations.
Modifications:
- Call slice on the buffer that is being sent
Result:
Listener now has access to a buffer that will not appear to be already consumed.
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.
