Motivation:
We should ensure we call *UnLoad when we detect an error during calling *OnLoad and previous *OnLoad calls were succesfull.
Modifications:
Correctly call *UnLoad when needed.
Result:
More correct code and no leaks when an error happens during loading the native lib.
* Allow to use native transports when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system
Motivation:
We should be able to use the native transports (epoll / kqueue) even when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on the system. This is especially important as Java11 will be released soon and does not allow access to it by default.
Modifications:
- Correctly disable usage of sun.misc.Unsafe when -PnoUnsafe is used while running the build
- Correctly increment metric when UnpooledDirectByteBuf is allocated. This was uncovered once -PnoUnsafe usage was fixed.
- Implement fallbacks in all our native transport code for when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8229.
Motivation:
We should support to load multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact as netty is often used in multiple dependencies.
This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7272.
Modifications:
- Use -fvisibility=hidden when compiling and use JNIEXPORT for things we really want to have exported
- Ensure fields are declared as static so these are not exported
- Adjust testsuite-shading to use install_name_tool on MacOS to change the id of the lib. Otherwise the wrong may be used.
Result:
Be able to use multiple shaded versions of the same netty artifact.
Motivation:
Avoid unnecessary native memory allocation if UDP / TCP isn't being
used.
Modifications:
Create the reused NativeDatagramPacketArray and IovArray upon first use
instead of EpollEventLoop construction.
Also correct related comment in NativeDatagramPacketArray.
Result:
Reduced native memory use when using epoll in many cases
Motivation:
We can store the NativeDatagramPacketArray directly in the EpollEventLoop. This removes the need of using FastThreadLocal.
Modifications:
- Store NativeDatagramPacketArray directly in the EpollEventLoop (just as we do with IovArray as well).
Result:
Less FastThreadLocal usage and more consistent code.
Motivation:
Epoll and Kqueue channels have internal state which forces
a single read operation after channel construction. This
violates the Channel#read() interface which indicates that
data shouldn't be delivered until this method is called.
The behavior is also inconsistent with the NIO transport.
Modifications:
- Epoll and Kqueue shouldn't unconditionally read upon
initialization, and instead should rely upon Channel#read()
or auto_read.
Result:
Epoll and Kqueue are more consistent with NIO.
Motivation:
We should allow to schedule tasks with a delay up to Long.MAX_VALUE as we did pre 4.1.25.Final.
Modifications:
Just ensure we not overflow and put the correct max limits in place when schedule a timer. At worse we will get a wakeup to early and then schedule a new timeout.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7970.
* Read until all data is consumed when EOF is detected even if readPending is false and auto-read is disabled.
Motivation:
We should better always notify the user of EOF even if the user did not request any data as otherwise we may never be notified when the remote peer closes the connection. This should be ok as the amount of extra data we may read and so fire through the pipeline is limited by SO_RECVBUF.
Modifications:
- Always drain the socket when EOF is detected.
- Add testcase
Result:
No risk for the user to be not notified of EOF.
Motivation:
Sometimes it's useful to disable native transports / native ssl to debug a problem. We should allow to do so with a system property so people not need to adjust code for this.
Modifications:
Add system properties which allow to disable native transport and native ssl.
Result:
Easier to disable native code usage without code changes.
Motivation:
DatagramPacket.recipient() doesn't return the actual destination IP, but the IP the app is bound to.
Modification:
- IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR option is enabled for UDP sockets, which allows retrieval of ancillary information containing the original recipient.
- _recvFrom(...) function from transport-native-unix-common/src/main/c/netty_unix_socket.c is modified such that if IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR is set, recvmsg is used instead of recvfrom; enabling the retrieval of the original recipient.
- DatagramSocketAddress also contains a 'local' address, representing the recipient.
- EpollDatagramChannel is updated to return the retrieved recipient address instead of the address the channel is bound to.
Result:
Fixes#4950.
Motivation:
Using a very huge delay when calling schedule(...) may cause an Selector error when calling select(...) later on. We should gaurd against such a big value.
Modifications:
- Add guard against a very huge value.
- Added tests.
Result:
Fixes [#7365]
Motivation:
This allows netty to operate in 'transparent proxy' mode for UDP, intercepting connections
to other addresses by means of Linux firewalling rules, as per
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt
Modification:
Add IP_TRANSPARENT option.
Result:
Allows setting and getting of the IP_TRANSPARENT option, which allows retrieval of the ultimate socket address originally requested.
Motivation:
AbstractNioByteChannel will detect that the remote end of the socket has
been closed and propagate a user event through the pipeline. However if
the user has auto read on, or calls read again, we may propagate the
same user events again. If the underlying transport continuously
notifies us that there is read activity this will happen in a spin loop
which consumes unnecessary CPU.
Modifications:
- AbstractNioByteChannel's unsafe read() should check if the input side
of the socket has been shutdown before processing the event. This is
consistent with EPOLL and KQUEUE transports.
- add unit test with @normanmaurer's help, and make transports consistent with respect to user events
Result:
No more read spin loop in NIO when the channel is half closed.
Motivation:
The flush task is currently using flush() which will have the affect of have the flush traverse the whole ChannelPipeline and also flush messages that were written since we gave up flushing. This is not really correct as we should only continue to flush messages that were flushed at the point in time when the flush task was submitted for execution if the user not explicit call flush() by him/herself.
Modification:
Call *Unsafe.flush0() via the flush task which will only continue flushing messages that were marked as flushed before.
Result:
More correct behaviour when the flush task is used.
Motivation:
b215794de3 recently introduced a change in behavior where writeSpinCount provided a limit for how many write operations were attempted per flush operation. However when the write quantum was meet the selector write flag was not cleared, and the channel unsafe flush0 method has an optimization which prematurely exits if the write flag is set. This may lead to no write progress being made under the following scenario:
- flush is called, but the socket can't accept all data, we set the write flag
- the selector wakes us up because the socket is writable, we write data and use the writeSpinCount quantum
- we then schedule a flush() on the EventLoop to execute later, however it the flush0 optimization prematurely exits because the write flag is still set
In this scenario the socket is still writable so the EventLoop may never notify us that the socket is writable, and therefore we may never attempt to flush data to the OS.
Modifications:
- When the writeSpinCount quantum is exceeded we should clear the selector write flag
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7729
Motivation:
IovArray implements MessageProcessor, and the processMessage method will continue to be called during iteration until it returns true. A recent commit b215794de3 changed the return value to only return true if any component of a CompositeByteBuf was added as a result of the method call. However this results in the iteration continuing, and potentially subsequent smaller buffers maybe added, which will result in out of order writes and generally corrupts data.
Modifications:
- IovArray#add should return false so that the MessageProcessor#processMessage will stop iterating.
Result:
Native transports which use IovArray will not corrupt data during gathering writes of CompositeByteBuf objects.
Motivation:
FileDescriptor#writev calls JNI code, and that JNI code dereferences a NULL pointer which crashes the application. This occurs when writing a single CompositeByteBuf object with more than one component.
Modifications:
- Initialize the iovec iterator properly to avoid the core dump
- Fix the array length calculation if we aren't able to fit all the ByteBuffer objects in the iovec array
Result:
No more core dump.
Motivation:
The writeSpinCount currently loops over the same buffer, gathering
write, file write, or other write operation multiple times but will
continue writing until there is nothing left or the OS doesn't accept
any data for that specific write. However if the OS keeps accepting
writes there is no way to limit how much time we spend on a specific
socket. This can lead to unfair consumption of resources dedicated to a
single socket.
We currently don't limit the amount of bytes we attempt to write per
gathering write. If there are many more bytes pending relative to the
SO_SNDBUF size we will end up building iov arrays with more elements
than can be written, which results in extra iteration, conditionals,
and book keeping.
Modifications:
- writeSpinCount should limit the number of system calls we make to
write data, instead of applying to individual write operations
- IovArray should support a maximum number of bytes
- IovArray should support composite buffers of greater than size 1024
- We should auto-scale the amount of data that we attempt to write per
gathering write operation relative to SO_SNDBUF and how much data is
successfully written
- The non-unsafe path should also support a maximum number of bytes,
and respect the IOV_MAX limit
Result:
Write resource consumption can be bounded and gathering writes have
a limit relative to the amount of data which can actually be accepted
by the socket.
Motivation:
We used NetUtil.isIpV4StackPreferred() when loading JNI code which tries to load NetworkInterface in its static initializer. Unfortunally a lock on the NetworkInterface class init may be already hold somewhere else which may cause a loader deadlock.
Modifications:
Add a new Socket.initialize() method that will be called when init the library and pass everything needed to the JNI level so we not need to call back to java.
Result:
Fixes [#7458].
Motivation:
AbstractChannel attempts to "filter" messages which are written [1]. A goal of this process is to copy from heap to direct if necessary. However implementations of this method [2][3] may translate a buffer with 0 readable bytes to EMPTY_BUFFER. This may mask a user error where an empty buffer is written but already released.
Modifications:
Replace safeRelease(...) with release(...) to ensure we propagate reference count issues.
Result:
Fixes [#7383]
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
To better isolate OS system calls we should not call getsockopt directly but use our netty_unix_socket_getOption0 function. See is a followup of f115bf5.
Modifications:
Export netty_unix_socket_getOption0 by declaring it in the header file and use it
Result:
Better isolation of system calls.
Motivation:
If a user calls EpollSocketChannelConfig.getOptions() and TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT is not supported we throw an exception.
Modifications:
- Just return 0 if ENOPROTOOPT is set.
- Add testcase
Result:
getOptions() works as epxected.
