Motivation:
There are currently many more places where this could be used which were
possibly not considered when the method was added.
If https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8388 is included in its current
form, a number of these places could additionally make use of the same
BYTE_ARRAYS threadlocal.
There's also a couple of adjacent places where an optimistically-pooled
heap buffer is used for temp byte storage which could use the
threadlocal too in preference to allocating a temp heap bytebuf wrapper.
For example
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/buffer/src/main/java/io/netty/buffer/ByteBufUtil.java#L1417.
Modifications:
Replace new byte[] with PlatformDependent.allocateUninitializedArray()
where appropriate; make use of ByteBufUtil.getBytes() in some places
which currently perform the equivalent logic, including avoiding copy of
backing array if possible (although would be rare).
Result:
Further potential speed-up with java9+ and appropriate compile flags.
Many of these places could be on latency-sensitive code paths.
Motivation:
trackedObject != null gives no guarantee that trackedObject remains reachable. This may cause problems related to premature finalization: false leak detector warnings.
Modifications:
Add private method reachabilityFence0 that works on JDK 8 and can be factored out into PlatformDependent. Later, it can be swapped for the real Reference.reachabilityFence.
Result:
No false leak detector warnings in future versions of JDK.
Motivation:
DefaultResourceLeak.toString() did include the wrong value for duplicated records.
Modifications:
Include the correct value.
Result:
Correct toString() implementation.
Motivation:
Java since version 6 has the wrapper for the ConcurrentHashMap that could be created via Collections.newSetFromMap(map). So no need to create own ConcurrentSet class. Also, since netty plans to switch to Java 8 soon there is another method for that - ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet().
For now, marking this class @deprecated would be enough, just to warn users who use netty's ConcurrentSet. After switching to Java 8 ConcurrentSet should be removed and replaced with ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet().
Modification:
ConcurrentSet deprecated.
Motivation:
Seems like IntegerHolder counterHashCode field is the very old legacy field that is no longer used. Should be marked as deprecated and removed in the future versions.
Modification:
IntegerHolder class, InternalThreadLocalMap.counterHashCode() and InternalThreadLocalMap.setCounterHashCode(IntegerHolder counterHashCode) are now deprecated.
Motivation:
When a X509TrustManager is used while configure the SslContext the JDK automatically does some extra checks during validation of provided certs by the remote peer. We should do the same when our native implementation is used.
Modification:
- Automatically wrap a X509TrustManager and so do the same validations as the JDK does.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
More consistent behaviour. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6664.
Motivation:
The Epoll transport checks to see if there are any scheduled tasks
before entering epoll_wait, and resets the timerfd just before.
This causes an extra syscall to timerfd_settime before doing any
actual work. When scheduled tasks aren't added frequently, or
tasks are added with later deadlines, this is unnecessary.
Modification:
Check the *deadline* of the peeked task in EpollEventLoop, rather
than the *delay*. If it hasn't changed since last time, don't
re-arm the timer
Result:
About 2us faster on gRPC RTT 50pct latency benchmarks.

* Log the correct line-number when using SLF4j with netty if possible.
Motivation:
At the moment we do not log the correct line number in many cases as it will log the line number of the logger wrapper itself. Slf4j does have an extra interface that can be used to filter out these nad make it more usable with logging wrappers.
Modifications:
Detect if the returned logger implements LocationAwareLogger and if so make use of its extra methods to be able to log the correct origin of the log request.
Result:
Better logging when using slf4j.
Motivation:
In Java8 and earlier we used reflection to replace the used key set if not otherwise told. This does not work on Java9 and later without special flags as its not possible to call setAccessible(true) on the Field anymore.
Modifications:
- Use Unsafe to instrument the Selector with out special set when sun.misc.Unsafe is present and we are using Java9+.
Result:
NIO transport produce less GC on Java9 and later as well.
Motivation:
In Java8 and earlier we used reflection to detect if unaligned access is supported. This fails in Java9 and later as we would need to change the accessible level of the method.
Lucky enough we can use Unsafe directly to read the content of the static field here.
Modifications:
Add special handling for detecting if unaligned access is supported on Java9 and later which does not fail due jigsaw.
Result:
Better and more correct detection on Java9 and later.
Motivation:
At the moment we will just assume the correct version of log4j2 is used when we find it on the classpath. This may lead to an AbstractMethodError at runtime. We should not use log4j2 if the version is not correct.
Modifications:
Check on class loading if we can use Log4J2 or not.
Result:
Fixes#8217.
Motivation:
Log4J2Logger had some code-duplication with AbstractInternalLogger
Modifications:
Reuse AbstractInternaLogger.EXCEPTION_MESSAGE in Log4J2Logger and so remove some code-duplication
Result:
Less duplicated code.
* We should be able to use the ByteBuffer cleaner on java8 (and earlier versions) even if sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Motivation:
At the moment we have a hard dependency on sun.misc.Unsafe to use the Cleaner on Java8 and earlier. This is not really needed as we can still use pure reflection if sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Modifications:
Refactor Cleaner6 to fallback to pure reflection if sun.misc.Unsafe is not present on system.
Result:
More timely releasing of direct memory on Java8 and earlier when sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Motivation:
f77891cc17 changed slightly how we detect if we should prefer direct buffers or not but did miss to also take this into account when logging.
Modifications:
Fix branch for log message to reflect changes in f77891cc17.
Result:
Correct logging.
Motivation:
There was a race condition between the task submitter and task executor threads such that the last Runnable submitted may not get executed.
Modifications:
The bug was fixed by checking the task queue and state in the task executor thread after it saw the task queue was empty.
Result:
Fixes#8230
Motivation:
We should prefer direct buffers whenever we can use the cleaner even if sun.misc.Unsafe is not present.
Modifications:
Correctly prefer direct buffers in all cases.
Result:
More correct code.
Motivation:
CleanerJava9 currently fails whever a SecurityManager is installed. We should make use of AccessController.doPrivileged(...) so the user can give it the correct rights.
Modifications:
Use doPrivileged(...) when needed.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8201.
Motivation:
Recycler may produce a NPE when the same object is recycled multiple times from different threads.
Modifications:
- Check if the id has changed or if the Stack became null and if so throw an IllegalStateException
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8220.
* Try to monkey-patch library id when shading is used and we are on MacOS / OSX.
Motivation:
ea4c315b45 did ensure we support using multiple versions of the same shaded native library but the user still needed to run install_name_tool -id on MacOS to ensure the ID is unique.
This is kind of error prone and also means that the shading itself would need to be done on MacOS / OSX.
This is related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7272.
Modifications:
- Monkey patch the shaded native lib on MacOS to ensure the id is unique while unpacking it to the tempory location.
Result:
Easier way of using shaded native libs in netty.
Motivation:
Java9 and later does the safepoint polling by itself so there is not need for us to do it.
Modifications:
Check for java version before doing manual safepoint polling.
Result:
Less custom code and less overhead when using java9 and later. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8122.
Motivation:
We do not correctly check for previous calles of setUncancellable() in getNow() which may result in ClassCastException as we incorrectly return the internally UNCANCELLABLE object and not null if setUncancellable() we as called before.
Modifications:
Correctly check for UNCANCELLABLE and add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8135.
Motivation:
We incorrectly calculated the length that was used for our for loop in AsciiString.indexOf(...). This lead to a possible ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Not include the start in the length calculation
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8112.
Motivation:
Users should not see a scary log message when Netty is initialized if
Netty configuration explicitly disables unsafe. The log message that
produces this warning was previously guarded but by recent refactoring
a bug was introduced inside the guard helper method.
Modifications:
This commit brings back the guard against the scary log message if
unsafe is explicitly disabled.
Result:
No log message is produced when unsafe is unavailable because Netty was
told to not look for it.
Relates https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/5624, https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/6696
Motivation:
ObjectCleaner does start a Thread to handle the cleaning of resources which leaks into the users application. We should not use it in netty itself to make things more predictable.
Modifications:
- Remove usage of ObjectCleaner and use finalize as a replacement when possible.
- Clarify javadocs for FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) to ensure its clear that remove() is not guaranteed to be called when the Thread completees and so this method is not enough to guarantee cleanup for this case.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8017.
Motivation:
I'm not sure if trivial changes like this are interesting :-) But I
noticed that the PlatformDependent.maxDirectMemory0() method is called
twice unnecessarily during static initialization (on the default path at
least).
Modifications:
Use constant MAX_DIRECT_MEMORY already set to the same value instead of
calling maxDirectMemory0() again.
Result:
A surely imperceivable reduction in operations performed at startup.
Motivation
There is a cost to concatenating strings and calling methods that will be wasted if the Logger's level is not enabled.
Modifications
Check if Log level is enabled before producing log statement. These are just a few cases found by RegEx'ing in the code.
Result
Tiny bit more efficient code.
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.
Motivation:
On J9 / OpenJ9 netty initializes this value with 64M, even the direct accessible memory is actually unbounded.
Modifications:
Skip usage of VM.maxDirectMemory() on J9 / OpenJ9
Result:
More correct direct memory limit detection. Fixes#7654.
Motivation:
We did not guard against the case of calling malloc(0) when creating a ByteBuffer without a Cleaner. The problem is that malloc(0) can have different behaviour, it either return a null-pointer or a valid pointer that you can pass to free.
The real problem arise if Unsafe.allocateMemory(0) returns 0 and we use it as the memoryAddress of the ByteBuffer. The problem here is that native libraries test for 0 and handle it as a null-ptr. This is for example true in SSL.bioSetByteBuffer(...) which would throw a NPE when 0 is used as memoryAddress and so produced errors during SSL usage.
Modifications:
- Always allocate 1 byte as minimum (even if we ask for an empty buffer).
- Add unit test.
Result:
No more errors possible because of malloc(0).
Motivation:
When a buffer is over-released, the current error message of `IllegalReferenceCountException` is `refCnt: XXX, increment: XXX`, which is confusing. The correct message should be `refCnt: XXX, decrement: XXX`.
Modifications:
Pass `-decrement` to create `IllegalReferenceCountException`.
Result:
The error message will be `refCnt: XXX, decrement: XXX` when a buffer is over-released.
Motivation:
On z/OS netty initializes this value with 64M, even the direct accessible memory is actually unbounded.
Modifications:
Skip usage of VM.maxDirectMemory() on z/OS.
Result:
More correct direct memory limit detection. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7654.
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:
A FastThreadLocal instance currently occupies 2 slots of InternalThreadLocalMap of every thread. Actually for a FastThreadLocalThread, it does not need to store cleaner flags of FastThreadLocal instances. Besides, using BitSet to store cleaner flags is also better for space usage.
Modification:
Use BitSet to optimize space usage of FastThreadLocal.
Result:
Avoid unnecessary slot occupancy. Cleaner flags are now stored into a BitSet.
Motivation:
When trying to cleanup WeakOrderQueue by the ObjectCleaner we end up in an endless loop which will cause the ObjectCleaner to be not able to cleanup any other resources anymore.This bug was introduced by 6eb9674bf5.
Modifications:
Correctly update link while cleanup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7877
Motivation:
The bounds checking for AsciiString#indexOf and AsciiString#lastIndexOf is not correct and may lead to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modifications:
- Correct the bounds checking for AsciiString#indexOf and AsciiString#lastIndexOf
Result
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7863
Motivation:
Finer granularity when configuring CorsHandler, enabling different policies for different origins.
Modifications:
The CorsHandler has an extra constructor that accepts a List<CorsConfig> that are evaluated sequentially when processing a Cors request
Result:
The changes don't break backwards compatibility. The extra ctor can be used to provide more than one CorsConfig object.
Motivation:
We need to add a dev-tools dependecy for commons as otherwise we may fail to fetch it before we try to use it.
Modifications:
Add dependency.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7842
Motivation:
Minor performance optimisation that prevents thread from blocking due to task not having been added to queue. Discussed #7815.
Modification:
add task to the queue before starting the thread.
Result:
No additional tests.
* NetUtil valid IP methods to accept CharSequence
Motivation:
NetUtil has methods to determine if a String is a valid IP address. These methods don't rely upon String specific methods and can use CharSequence instead.
Modifications:
- Use CharSequence instead of String for the IP validator methods.
- Avoid object allocation in AsciiString#indexOf(char,int) and reduce
byte code
Result:
No more copy operation required if a CharSequence exists.
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler uses `NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` to compute
CONNECT url and Host header.
The url is correct when the address is unresolved, as
`NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` will then use
`getHoststring`/`getHostname`. If the address is already resolved, the
url will be based on the IP instead of the hostname.
There’s an additional minor issue with the Host header: default port
443 should be omitted.
Modifications:
* Introduce NetUtil#getHostname
* Introduce HttpUtil#formatHostnameForHttp to format an
InetSocketAddress to
HTTP format
* Change url computation to favor hostname instead of IP
* Introduce HttpProxyHandler ignoreDefaultPortsInConnectHostHeader
parameter to ignore 80 and 443 ports in Host header
Result:
HttpProxyHandler performs properly when connecting to a resolved address
Motivation:
We missed to correctly record the stacktrace of the creation of an ResourceLeak record. This could either have the effect to log the wrote stacktrace for creation or not log a stacktrace at all if the object was dropped on the floor after it was created.
Modifications:
Correctly create a Record on creation of the object.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7781.
Motivation:
We recently introduced ObjectCleaner which can be used to ensure some cleanup action is done once an object becomes weakable reachable. We should use this in Recycler.WeakOrderQueue to reduce the overhead of using a finalizer() (which will cause the GC to process it two times).
Modifications:
Replace finalizer() usage with ObjectCleaner
Result:
Fixes [#7343]
Motivation:
We dont protect from overflow and so the timer may fire too early if a large timeout is used.
Modifications:
Add overflow guard and a test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7760.
Motivation:
It is not clear why Unsafe is unavailable when it is explicitly
disabled, or when Netty thinks it is running on Android.
Modification:
Change the "has" fields and methods to be causes. A null cause
means Unsafe is present. This catches all possible reason why
Unsafe might not be available.
Result:
Easier to debug Netty start up when logging cannot be turned on.
Motivation:
DefaultPromise's internal state depends upon specific Signal objects. These Signal objects can be used externally which causes the DefaultPromise object API to not function correct and state to become corrupted.
Modifications:
- DefaultPromise shouldn't depend upon Signal for its internal state
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7707
Motivation:
The Recycler currently retains 32k objects per thread by default. The Recycler is used in more than just one place and may result in large amounts of memory bloat if spikes of traffic are observed.
Modifications:
- Reduce the Recyclers default capacity from 32k to 4k.
Result:
- Lower default capacity of the Recycler and less memory retained.
Motivation:
Some java binaries include android classes on their classpath, even
if they aren't actually android. When this is true, `Unsafe` no
longer works, disabling the Epoll functionality. A sample case is
for binaries that use the j2objc library.
Modifications:
Check the `java.vm.name` instead of the classpath. Numerous
Google-internal Android libraries / binaries check this property
rather than the class path.
It is believed this is safe and works with bother ART and Dalvik
VMs, safe for Robolectric, and j2objc.
Results:
Unusually built java server binaries can still use Netty Epoll.
Motivation:
Currently if user call set/remove/set/remove many times, it will create multiple cleaner task for same index. It may cause OOM due to long live thread will have more and more task in LIVE_SET.
Modification:
Add flag to avoid recreating tasks.
Result:
Only create 1 clean task. But use more space of indexedVariables.
Motivation:
Reflective setAccessible(true) will produce scary warnings on the console when using java9+, while netty still works. That said users may feel uncomfortable with these warnings, we should not try to do it by default when using java9+.
Modifications:
Add io.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible system property which controls if setAccessible(...) will be used. By default it will bet set to false when using java9+.
Result:
Fixes [#7254].
Motivation:
The methods implement io.netty.util.concurrent.Future#cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning) which actually ignored the param mayInterruptIfRunning.We need to add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Modifications:
Add comments for the `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Result:
People who call the `cancel` method will be more clear about the effect of `mayInterruptIfRunning` param.
Motivation:
The ObjectCleanerThread must be a daemon thread as otherwise we may block the JVM from exit. By using a daemon thread we basically give the same garantees as the JVM when it comes to cleanup of resources (as the GC threads are also daemon threads and the CleanerImpl uses a deamon thread as well in Java9+).
Modifications:
Change ObjectCleanThread to be a daemon thread.
Result:
JVM shutdown will always be able to complete. Fixed [#7617].
Motivation:
In environments with a security manager, the reflective access to get the reference to
Throwable#addSuppressed can cause issues that result in Netty failing to load. The main
motivation in this pull request is to remove the use of reflection to prevent issues in
these environments.
Modifications:
ThrowableUtil no longer uses Class#getDeclaredMembers to get the Method that references
Throwable#addSuppressed and instead guards the call to Throwable#addSuppressed with a
Java version check.
Additionally, a annotation was added that suppresses the animal sniffer java16 signature
check on the given method. The benefit of the annotation is that it limits the exclusion
of Throwable to just the ThrowableUtil class and has string text indicating the reason
for suppressing the java16 signature check.
Result:
Netty no longer requires the use of Class#getDeclaredMethod for ThrowableUtil and will
work in environments restricted by a security manager without needing to grant reflection
permissions.
Fixes#7614
Motivation:
In a few classes, Netty starts a thread and then sets the context classloader of these threads
to prevent classloader leaks. The Thread#setContextClassLoader method is a privileged method in
that it requires permissions to be executed when there is a security manager in place. Unless
these calls are wrapped in a doPrivileged block, they will fail in an environment with a security
manager and restrictive policy in place.
Modifications:
Wrap the calls to Thread#setContextClassLoader in a AccessController#doPrivileged block.
Result:
After this change, the threads can set the context classloader without any errors in an
environment with a security manager and restrictive policy in place.
Motivation:
Usages of HttpResponseStatus may result in more object allocation then necessary due to not looking for cached objects and the AsciiString parsing method not being used due to CharSequence method being used instead.
Modifications:
- HttpResponseDecoder should attempt to get the HttpResponseStatus from cache instead of allocating a new object
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(CharSequence) should check if the type is AsciiString and redirect to the AsciiString parsing method which may not require an additional toString call
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(AsciiString) can be optimized and doesn't require and may not require object allocation
Result:
Less allocations when dealing with HttpResponseStatus.
Motivation:
ObjectCleaner inovkes a Runnable which may execute user code (FastThreadLocal#onRemoval) and therefore exceptions maybe thrown. If an exception is thrown the cleanup thread will exit prematurely and we may never finish cleaning up which will result in leaks.
Modifications:
- ObjectCleaner should suppress exceptions and continue cleaning
Result:
ObjectCleaner will reliably clean despite exceptions being thrown.
Motivation:
ObjectCleaner polls a ReferenceQueue which will block indefinitely. However it is possible there is a race condition between the live set of objects being empty due to the WeakReference being cleaned/cleared and polling the queue. If this situation occurs the cleanup thread may never unblock if no more objects are added to the live set, and may result in an application's failure to gracefully close.
Modifications:
- ReferenceQueue.remove should use a timeout to compensate for the race condition, and avoid dead lock
Result:
No more dead lock in ObjectCleaner when polling the ReferenceQueue.
Motivation:
FastThreadLocal#set calls isIndexedVariableSet to determine if we need to register with the cleaner, but the set(InternalThreadLocalMap, V) method will also internally do this check so we can share code and only do the check a single time.
Modifications:
- extract code from set(InternalThreadLocalMap, V) so it can be called externally to determine if a new item was created
Result:
Less code duplication in FastThreadLocal#set.
Motivation:
e329ca1 introduced the user of ObjectCleaner in FastThreadLocal but we missed the case to register our cleaner task if FastThreadLocal.set was called only.
Modifications:
- Use ObjectCleaner also when FastThreadLocal.set is used.
- Add test case.
Result:
ObjectCleaner is always used.
Motivation:
Allow pre-computing calculation of the constants for compiler where it could be.
Similar fix in OpenJDK: [1].
Modifications:
- Use parentheses.
- Simplify static initialization of `BYTE2HEX_*` arrays in `StringUtil`.
Result:
Less bytecode, possible faster calculations at runtime.
[1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4477961
Motivation:
There is no guarantee that FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) is called if the FastThreadLocal is used by "non" FastThreacLocalThreads. This can lead to all sort of problems, like for example memory leaks as direct memory is not correctly cleaned up etc.
Beside this we use ThreadDeathWatcher to check if we need to release buffers back to the pool when thread local caches are collected. In the past ThreadDeathWatcher was used which will need to "wakeup" every second to check if the registered Threads are still alive. If we can ensure FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) is called we do not need this anymore.
Modifications:
- Introduce ObjectCleaner and use it to ensure FastThreadLocal.onRemoval(...) is always called when a Thread is collected.
- Deprecate ThreadDeathWatcher
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Consistent way of cleanup FastThreadLocals when a Thread is collected.
Motivation:
We should remove the WeakOrderedQueue from the WeakHashMap directly if possible and only depend on the semantics of the WeakHashMap if there is no other way for us to cleanup it.
Modifications:
Override onRemoval(...) to remove the WeakOrderedQueue if possible.
Result:
Less overhead and quicker collection of WeakOrderedQueue for some cases.
Motivation:
When doStartThread throws an exception, e.g. due to the actual executor being depleted of threads and throwing in its rejected execution handler, the STEE ends up in started state anyway. If we try to execute another task in this executor, it will be queued but the thread won't be started anymore and the task will linger forever.
Modifications:
- Ensure we not update the internal state if the startThread() method throws.
- Add testcase
Result:
Fixes [#7483]
Motivation:
In our Recycler implementation we store a reference to the current Thread in the Stack that is stored in a FastThreadLocal. The Stack itself is referenced in the DefaultHandle itself. A problem can arise if a user stores a Reference to an Object that holds a reference to the DefaultHandle somewhere and either not remove the reference at all or remove it very late. In this case the Thread itself can not be collected as its still referenced in the Stack that is referenced by the DefaultHandle.
Modifications:
- Use a WeakReference to store the reference to the Thread in the Stack
- Add a test case
Result:
Ensure a Thread can be collected in a timely manner in all cases even if it used the Recycler.
Motivation:
ThreadDeathWatcher and GlobalEventExecutor may create and start a new thread from various other threads and so inherit the classloader. We need to ensure we not inherit to allow recycling the classloader.
Modifications:
Use Thread.setContextClassLoader(null) to ensure we not hold a strong reference to the classloader and so not leak it.
Result:
Fixes [#7290].
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:
We dont need to use the ThreadDeathWatcher if we use a FastThreadLocalThread for which we wrap the Runnable and ensure we call FastThreadLocal.removeAll() once the Runnable completes.
Modifications:
- Dont use a ThreadDeathWatcher if we are sure we will call FastThreadLocal.removeAll()
- Add unit test.
Result:
Less overhead / running theads if you only allocate / deallocate from FastThreadLocalThreads.
Motivation:
OSGI and other enviroments may not allow to even load Unsafe which will lead to an NoClassDefFoundError when trying to access it. We should guard against this.
Modifications:
Catch NoClassDefFoundError when trying to load Unsafe.
Result:
Be able to use netty with a strict OSGI config.
Motivation:
When system property is empty, the default value should be used.
Modification:
- Correctly use the default value in all cases
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correct behaviour
Motivation:
In order to determine if a header contains a value we currently rely
upon getAll(..) and regular expressions. This operation is commonly used
during the encode and decode stage to determine the transfer encoding
(e.g. HttpUtil#isTransferEncodingChunked). This operation requires an
intermediate collection and possibly regular expressions for the
CombinedHttpHeaders use case which can be expensive.
Modifications:
- Add a valuesIterator to HttpHeaders and specializations of this method
for DefaultHttpHeaders, ReadOnlyHttpHeaders, and CombinedHttpHeaders.
Result:
Less intermediate collections and allocation overhead when determining
if HttpHeaders contains a name/value pair.
Motivation:
Netty could handle "connection" or "te" headers more gently when
converting from http/1.1 to http/2 headers. Http/2 headers don't
support single-hop headers, so when we convert from http/1.1 to http/2,
we should drop all single-hop headers. This includes headers like
"transfer-encoding" and "connection", but also the headers that
"connection" points to, since "connection" can be used to designate
other headers as single-hop headers. For the "te" header, we can more
permissively convert it by just dropping non-conforming headers (ie
non-"trailers" headers) which is what we do for all other headers when
we convert.
Modifications:
Add a new blacklist to the http/1.1 to http/2 conversion, which is
constructed from the values of the "connection" header, and stop
throwing an exception when a "te" header is passed with a non-"trailers"
value. Instead, drop all values except for "trailers". Add unit tests
for "connection" and "te" headers when converting from http/1.1 to http/2.
Result:
This will improve the h2c upgrade request, and also conversions from
http/1.1 to http/2. This will simplify implementing spec-compliant
http/2 servers that want to share code between their http/1.1 and http/2
implementations.
[Fixes#7355]
Motivation:
`AbstractScheduledEventExecutor` uses a standard `java.util.PriorityQueue` to keep track of task deadlines. `ScheduledFuture.cancel` removes tasks from this `PriorityQueue`. Unfortunately, `PriorityQueue.remove` has `O(n)` performance since it must search for the item in the entire queue before removing it. This is fast when the future is at the front of the queue (e.g., already triggered) but not when it's randomly located in the queue.
Many servers will use `ScheduledFuture.cancel` on all requests, e.g., to manage a request timeout. As these cancellations will be happen in arbitrary order, when there are many scheduled futures, `PriorityQueue.remove` is a bottleneck and greatly hurts performance with many concurrent requests (>10K).
Modification:
Use netty's `DefaultPriorityQueue` for scheduling futures instead of the JDK. `DefaultPriorityQueue` is almost identical to the JDK version except it is able to remove futures without searching for them in the queue. This means `DefaultPriorityQueue.remove` has `O(log n)` performance.
Result:
Before - cancelling futures has varying performance, capped at `O(n)`
After - cancelling futures has stable performance, capped at `O(log n)`
Benchmark results
After - cancelling in order and in reverse order have similar performance within `O(log n)` bounds

Motivation:
When looking for a leak, its nice to be able to request at least a
number of leaks.
Modification:
* Made all leak records up to the target amoutn recorded, and only
then enable backing off.
* Enable recording more than 32 elements. Previously the shift
amount made this impossible.
Result:
Ability to record all accesses.
Motivation:
Fix NullPointerExceptions that occur when running netty-tcnative inside the bootstrap class loader.
Modifications:
- Replace loader.getResource(...) with ClassLoader.getSystemResource(...) when loader is null.
- Replace loader.loadClass(...) with Class.forName(..., false, loader) which works when loader is both null and non-null.
Result:
Support running native libs in bootstrap class loader
Motivation:
Phantom references are for cleaning up resources that were
forgotten, which means they keep their referent alive. This
means garbage is kept around until the refqueue is drained, rather
than when the reference is unreachable.
Modification:
Use Weak References instead of Phantoms
Result:
More punctual leak detection.
Motivation:
Objects of java.util.TreeMap or java.util.TreeSet will become
non-Serializable if instantiated with Comparators, which are not also
Serializable. This can result in unexpected and difficult-to-diagnose
bugs.
Modifications:
Implements Serializable for all classes, which implements Comparator.
Result:
Proper Comparators which will not force collections to
non-Serializable mode.
Motivation:
Even if it's a super micro-optimization (most JVM could optimize such
cases in runtime), in theory (and according to some perf tests) it
may help a bit. It also makes a code more clear and allows you to
access such methods in the test scope directly, without instance of
the class.
Modifications:
Add 'static' modifier for all methods, where it possible. Mostly in
test scope.
Result:
Cleaner code with proper 'static' modifiers.
Motivation:
Without a 'serialVersionUID' field, any change to a class will make
previously serialized versions unreadable.
Modifications:
Add missed 'serialVersionUID' field for all Serializable
classes.
Result:
Proper deserialization of previously serialized objects.
Configuring this is tough because there is split between highly shared (and accessed) objects and lightly accessed objects.
Modification:
There are a number of changes here. In relative order of importance:
API / Functionality changes:
* Max records and max sample records are gone. Only "target" records, the number of records tries to retain is exposed.
* Records are sampled based on the number of already stored records. The likelihood of recording a new sample is `2^(-n)`, where `n` is the number of currently stored elements.
* Records are stored in a concurrent stack structure rather than a list. This avoids a head and tail. Since the stack is only read once, there is no need to maintain head and tail pointers
* The properties of this imply that the very first and very last access are always recorded. When deciding to sample, the top element is replaced rather than pushed.
* Samples that happen between the first and last accesses now have a chance of being recorded. Previously only the final few were kept.
* Sampling is no longer deterministic. Previously, a deterministic access pattern meant that you could conceivably always miss some access points.
* Sampling has a linear ramp for low values and and exponentially backs off roughly equal to 2^n. This means that for 1,000,000 accesses, about 20 will actually be kept. I have an elegant proof for this which is too large to fit in this commit message.
Code changes:
* All locks are gone. Because sampling rarely needs to do a write, there is almost 0 contention. The dropped records counter is slightly contentious, but this could be removed or changed to a LongAdder. This was not done because of memory concerns.
* Stack trace exclusion is done outside of RLD. Classes can opt to remove some of their methods.
* Stack trace exclusion is faster, since it uses String.equals, often getting a pointer compare due to interning. Previously it used contains()
* Leak printing is outputted fairly differently. I tried to preserve as much of the original formatting as possible, but some things didn't make sense to keep.
Result:
More useful leak reporting.
Faster:

Motivation:
We need to upgrade our dependencies to versions which use ASM 6.0.0+ to support compiling on java9.
Modifications:
Update animal-sniffer-maven-plugin and maven-shade-plugin.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6100
Motivation:
There are 2 motivations, the first depends on the second:
Loading Netty Epoll statically stopped working in 4.1.16, due to
`Native` always loading the arch specific shared object. In a
static binary, there is no arch specific SO.
Second, there are a ton of exceptions that can happen when loading
a native library. When loading native code, Netty tries a bunch of
different paths but a failure in any given may not be fatal.
Additionally: turning on debug logging is not always feasible so
exceptions get silently swallowed.
Modifications:
* Change Epoll and Kqueue to try the static load second
* Modify NativeLibraryLoader to record all the locations where
exceptions occur.
* Attempt to use `addSuppressed` from Java 7 if available.
Alternatives Considered:
An alternative would be to record log messages at each failure. If
all load attempts fail, the log messages are printed as warning,
else as debug. The problem with this is there is no `LogRecord` to
create like in java.util.logging. Buffering the args to
logger.log() at the end of the method loses the call site, and
changes the order of events to be confusing.
Another alternative is to teach NativeLibraryLoader about loading
the SO first, and then the static version. This would consolidate
the code fore Epoll, Kqueue, and TCNative. I think this is the
long term better option, but this PR is changing a lot already.
Someone else can take a crack at it later
Results:
Epoll Still Loads and easier debugging.
Motivation:
Highly retained and released objects have contention on their ref
count. Currently, the ref count is updated using compareAndSet
with care to make sure the count doesn't overflow, double free, or
revive the object.
Profiling has shown that a non trivial (~1%) of CPU time on gRPC
latency benchmarks is from the ref count updating.
Modification:
Rather than pessimistically assuming the ref count will be invalid,
optimistically update it assuming it will be. If the update was
wrong, then use the slow path to revert the change and throw an
execption. Most of the time, the ref counts are correct.
This changes from using compareAndSet to getAndAdd, which emits a
different CPU instruction on x86 (CMPXCHG to XADD). Because the
CPU knows it will modifiy the memory, it can avoid contention.
On a highly contended machine, this can be about 2x faster.
There is a downside to the new approach. The ref counters can
temporarily enter invalid states if over retained or over released.
The code does handle these overflow and underflow scenarios, but it
is possible that another concurrent access may push the failure to
a different location. For example:
Time 1 Thread 1: obj.retain(INT_MAX - 1)
Time 2 Thread 1: obj.retain(2)
Time 2 Thread 2: obj.retain(1)
Previously Thread 2 would always succeed and Thread 1 would always
fail on the second access. Now, thread 2 could fail while thread 1
is rolling back its change.
====
There are a few reasons why I think this is okay:
1. Buggy code is going to have bugs. An exception _is_ going to be
thrown. This just causes the other threads to notice the state
is messed up and stop early.
2. If high retention counts are a use case, then ref count should
be a long rather than an int.
3. The critical section is greatly reduced compared to the previous
version, so the likelihood of this happening is lower
4. On error, the code always rollsback the change atomically, so
there is no possibility of corruption.
Result:
Faster refcounting

```
Motivation:
3c8c7fc7e9 introduced some changes to the ResourceLeakDetector that introduced a regression and so would always log that paranoid leak detection should be enabled even it was already.
Modifications:
Correctly not clear the recorded stacktraces when we process the reference queue so we can log these.
Result:
ResourceLeakDetector works again as expected.
Motivation:
NativeLibraryLoader uses ClassLoader#getResource method that can return nulls when the resource cannot be found. The returned url variable should be checked for nullity and fail in a more usable manner than a NullPointerException
Modifications:
Fail with a FileNotFoundException
Result:
Fixes [#7222].
Motiviation:
The ResourceLeakDetector helps to detect and troubleshoot resource leaks and is often used even in production enviroments with a low level. Because of this its import that we try to keep the overhead as low as overhead. Most of the times no leak is detected (as all is correctly handled) so we should keep the overhead for this case as low as possible.
Modifications:
- Only call getStackTrace() if a leak is reported as it is a very expensive native call. Also handle the filtering and creating of the String in a lazy fashion
- Remove the need to mantain a Queue to store the last access records
- Add benchmark
Result:
Huge decrease of performance overhead.

ResourceLeakDetectorRecordBenchmark.recordWithHint 16 thrpt 20 38660.176 ± 1467.732 ops/s
Motivation:
RLD allocates an ArrayDeque in anticipation of recording access
points. If the leak detection level is less than ADVANCED though,
the dequeue is never used. Since SIMPLE is the default level,
there is a minor perf win to not preemptively allocate it.
This showed up in garbage profiling when creation a high number of
buffers.
Modifications:
Only allocate the dequeue if it will be used.
Result:
Less garbage created.
Motivation:
NativeLibraryLoader may only log a debug statement if the library is successfully loaded from java.library.path, but will log failure statements the if load for java.library.path fails which can mislead users to believe the load actually failed when it may have succeeded.
Modifications:
- Always load a debug statement when a library was successfully loaded
Result:
NativeLibraryLoader log statements more clear.
Motivation:
When Log4j2Logger is used with PatternLayout (%F:%L)%c.%M, the log message incorrect shows:
(Log4J2Logger.java:73)io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent0.debug ....
Modification:
Extend AbstractLogger
Result:
Fixes [#7186].
Motivation:
We should only try to load the native artifacts if the architecture we are currently running on is the same as the one the native libraries were compiled for.
Modifications:
Include architecture in native lib name and append the current arch when trying to load these. This will fail then if its not the same as the arch of the compiled arch.
Result:
Fixes [#7150].
Motivation:
When the user want to have the direct memory explicitly managed by the GC (just as java.nio does) it is useful to be able to construct an UnpooledByteBufAllocator that allows this without the chances to see any memory leak.
Modifications:
Allow to explicitly disable the usage of reflection to construct direct ByteBufs and so be sure these will be collected by GC.
Result:
More flexible way to use the UnpooledByteBufAllocator.
Motivation:
The documentation for field updates says:
> Note that the guarantees of the {@code compareAndSet}
> method in this class are weaker than in other atomic classes.
> Because this class cannot ensure that all uses of the field
> are appropriate for purposes of atomic access, it can

This implies that volatiles shouldn't use normal assignment; the
updater should set them.
Modifications:
Use setter for field updaters that make use of compareAndSet.
Result:
Concurrency compliant code
Motivation:
PD and PD0 Both try to find and use Unsafe. If unavailable, they
try to log why and continue on. However, it is not always east to
enable this logging. Chaining exceptions together is much easier
to reach, and the original exception is relevant when Unsafe is
needed.
Modifications:
* Make PD log why PD0 could not be loaded with a trace level log
* Make PD0 remember why Unsafe wasn't available
* Expose unavailability cause through PD for higher level use.
* Make Epoll and KQueue include the reason when failing
Result:
Easier debugging in hard to reconfigure environments
Motivation:
Continuing to make netty happy when compiling through errorprone.
Modification:
Mostly comments, some minor switch statement changes.
Result:
No more compiler errors!
Motivation:
On restricted systems (e.g. grsecurity), it might not be possible to write a .so on disk and load it afterwards. On those system Netty should check java.library.path for libraries to load.
Modifications:
Changed NativeLibraryLoader.java to first try to load libs from java.library.path before exporting the .so to disk.
Result:
Libraries load fine on restricted systems.
Motivation:
When compiling this code and running it through errorprone[1], this message appears:
```
StringUtil.java:493: error: [FallThrough] Switch case may fall through; add a `// fall through` comment if it was deliberate
case LINE_FEED:

(see http://errorprone.info/bugpattern/FallThrough)
```
By adding that comment, it silences the error and also makes clear the intention of that statement.
[1]http://errorprone.info/index
Modification:
Add simple comment.
Result:
Errorprone is happier with the code.
Motivation:
The `AsciiString#toString` method calculate string value and cache it into field. If an `AsciiString` created from the `String` value, we can avoid rebuilding strings if we cache them immediately when creating `AsciiString`. It would be useful for constants strings, which already stored in the JVMs string table, or in cases where an unavoidable `#toString `method call is assumed.
Modifications:
- Add new static method `AsciiString#cache(String)` which save string value into cache field.
- Apply a "benign" data race in the `#hashCode` and `#toString` methods.
Result:
Less memory usage in some `AsciiString` use cases.
Motivation:
At the moment we try to load the library using multiple names which includes names using - but also _ . We should just use _ all the time.
Modifications:
Replace - with _
Result:
Fixes [#7069]
Motivation:
In some cases of using an `InternalThreadLocalMap#stringBuilder`, the `StringBuilder`s size can often exceed the exist limit (1024 bytes). This can lead to permanent memory reallocation.
Modifications:
Add custom properties for the initial capacity and maximum size (after which the `StringBuilder`s capacity will be reduced to the initial capacity).
Result:
An `InternalThreadLocalMap#stringBuilder`s initial and max size is configurable. Fixes [#7092].
Motivation:
NativeLibraryLoader has some code-duplication that can be removed.
Modifications:
Remove duplicated code and just use provided methods of PlatformDependent.
Result:
Less code duplication, fixes [#3756].
Motivation:
Now that the NativeLibraryLoader implicitly detects the shaded package prefix we no longer need the io.netty.packagePrefix system property.
Modifications:
- Remove io.netty.packagePrefix processing from NativeLibraryLoader
Result:
Code is cleaner.
Motivation:
Shading requires renaming binary components (.so, .dll; for tcnative,
epoll, etc). But the rename then requires setting the
io.netty.packagePrefix system property on the command line or runtime,
which is either a burden or not feasible.
If you don't rename the binary components everything appears to
work, until a dependency on a second version of the binary component is
added. At that point, only one version of the binary will be loaded...
which is what shading is supposed to prevent. So for valid shading, the
binaries must be renamed.
Modifications:
Automatically detect the package prefix by comparing the actual class
name to the non-shaded expected class name. The expected class name must
be obfuscated to prevent shading utilities from changing it.
Result:
When shading and using binary components, runtime configuration is no
longer necessary.
Pre-existing shading users that were not renaming the binary components
will break, because the packagePrefix previously defaulted to "". Since
these pre-existing users had broken configurations that only _appeared_
to work, this breakage is considered a Good Thing. Users may workaround
this breakage temporarily by setting -Dio.netty.packagePrefix= to
restore packagePrefix to "".
Fixes#6963
Motivation:
ResourceLeakDetector records at most MAX_RECORDS+1 records
Modifications:
Make room before add to lastRecords
Result:
ResourceLeakDetector will record at most MAX_RECORDS records
Motivation:
JCTools 2.0.2 provides an unbounded MPSC linked queue. Before we shaded JCTools we had our own unbounded MPSC linked queue and used it in various places but gave this up because there was no public equivalent available in JCTools at the time.
Modifications:
- Use JCTool's MPSC linked queue when no upper bound is specified
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5951
