Eric Anderson 88f0586a7e Remove HpackDecoder.maxHeaderListSizeGoAway (#7911)
Motivation:

When a sender sends too large of headers it should not unnecessarily
kill the connection, as killing the connection is a heavy-handed
solution while SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE is advisory and may be
ignored.

The maxHeaderListSizeGoAway limit in HpackDecoder is unnecessary because
any headers causing the list to exceeding the max size can simply be
thrown away. In addition, DefaultHttp2FrameReader.HeadersBlockBuilder
limits the entire block to maxHeaderListSizeGoAway. Thus individual
literals are limited to maxHeaderListSizeGoAway.

(Technically, literals are limited to 1.6x maxHeaderListSizeGoAway,
since the canonical Huffman code has a maximum compression ratio of
.625. However, the "unnecessary" limit in HpackDecoder was also being
applied to compressed sizes.)

Modifications:

Remove maxHeaderListSizeGoAway checking in HpackDecoder and instead
eagerly throw away any headers causing the list to exceed
maxHeaderListSize.

Result:

Fewer large header cases will trigger connection-killing.
DefaultHttp2FrameReader.HeadersBlockBuilder will still kill the
connection when maxHeaderListSizeGoAway is exceeded, however.

Fixes #7887

Netty Project

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build

For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.

You require the following to build Netty:

Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.

Branches to look

Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.

Usage with JDK 9

Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:

  • io.netty.all
  • io.netty.buffer
  • io.netty.codec
  • io.netty.codec.dns
  • io.netty.codec.haproxy
  • io.netty.codec.http
  • io.netty.codec.http2
  • io.netty.codec.memcache
  • io.netty.codec.mqtt
  • io.netty.codec.redis
  • io.netty.codec.smtp
  • io.netty.codec.socks
  • io.netty.codec.stomp
  • io.netty.codec.xml
  • io.netty.common
  • io.netty.handler
  • io.netty.handler.proxy
  • io.netty.resolver
  • io.netty.resolver.dns
  • io.netty.transport
  • io.netty.transport.epoll (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.kqueue (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.unix.common (native omitted - reserved keyword in Java)
  • io.netty.transport.rxtx
  • io.netty.transport.sctp
  • io.netty.transport.udt

Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately in your module-info file.
