Motivation:
441aa4c575 conditionally set the readFlag based upon if maybeMoreDataToRead is set. It is possible that the read flag will not be set, and nothing will be read by executeEpollInReadyRunnable and no actual data will be read even though the user requested it.
Modifications:
- Always set the readFlag in doBeginRead
- Make it so only a single epollInReadyRunnable can execute for a channel at a time
Result:
Less chance of missing read events in EPOLL transport.
If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
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.
