Close ObjectInputStream in ObjectDecoder.decode(...)

Motivation:

We create a new CompactObjectInputStream with ByteBufInputStream in ObjectDecoder.decode(...) method and don't close this InputStreams before return statement.

Modifications:

Save link to the ObjectInputStream and close it before return statement.

Result:

Close InputStreams and clean up unused resources. It will be better for GC.
Small performance improvements

Modifications:

- Added a static modifier for CompositeByteBuf.Component.
This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in HttpResponseDecoder, RtspResponseDecoder, PerMessageDeflateClientExtensionHandshaker and PerMessageDeflateServerExtensionHandshaker
A boxed primitive is created from a String, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Removed unnecessary 3 times calculations in DiskAttribute.addContent(...).
- Removed unnecessary checks if file exists before call mkdirs() in NativeLibraryLoader and PlatformDependent.
Because the method mkdirs() has this check inside.
- Removed unnecessary `instanceof AsciiString` check in StompSubframeAggregator.contentLength(StompHeadersSubframe) and StompSubframeDecoder.getContentLength(StompHeaders, long).
Because StompHeaders.get(CharSequence) always returns java.lang.String.
Fixes for compression codecs

Motivation:

Fixed founded mistakes in compression codecs.

Modifications:

- Changed return type of ZlibUtil.inflaterException() from CompressionException to DecompressionException
- Updated @throws in javadoc of JZlibDecoder to throw DecompressionException instead of CompressionException
- Fixed JdkZlibDecoder to throw DecompressionException instead of CompressionException
- Removed unnecessary empty lines in JdkZlibEncoder and JZlibEncoder
- Removed public modifier from Snappy class
- Added MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_DATA_SIZE constant in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Used in.readableBytes() instead of (in.writerIndex() - in.readerIndex()) in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Added private modifier for enum ChunkType in SnappyFramedDecoder
- Fixed potential bug (sum overflow) in Bzip2HuffmanAllocator.first(). For more info, see http://googleresearch.blogspot.ru/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-nearly.html

Result:

Fixed sum overflow in Bzip2HuffmanAllocator, improved exceptions in ZlibDecoder implementations, hid Snappy class
Small fixes and improvements

Motivation:

Fix some typos in Netty.

Modifications:

- Fix potentially dangerous use of non-short-circuit logic in Recycler.transfer(Stack<?>).
- Removed double 'the the' in javadoc of EmbeddedChannel.
- Write to log an exception message if we can not get SOMAXCONN in the NetUtil's static block.
Fix NPE problems

Motivation:

Now Netty has a few problems with null values.

Modifications:

- Check HAProxyProxiedProtocol in HAProxyMessage constructor and throw NPE if it is null.
If HAProxyProxiedProtocol is null we will set AddressFamily as null. So we will get NPE inside checkAddress(String, AddressFamily) and it won't be easy to understand why addrFamily is null.
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
If !mqttConnectVariableHeader.isWillFlag() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasUserName() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasPassword() we will get NPE when we will try to create new instance of MqttConnectPayload.
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null check in DefaultStompFrame(StompCommand) constructor.
Because we have this check in the super class.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.

Result:

Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
Don't spin from malformed dns packets containing loops

Motivation:

DNS packets that contain pointers in a loop will cause
DnsResponseDecoder.readName() to infinite loop.

Modifications:

Fixed DnsResponseDecoder.readName() to detect when packets have loops
and return null instead.

Result:

It is no longer possible to cause Netty to infinite loop by sending it malformed
DNS packets with a loop.
[#2680] NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() / EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() should always return non-null array as stated in javadocs

Motivation:

At the moment NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() / EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() returns null if something is contained in the ChannelOutboundBuffer which is not a ByteBuf. This is a problem for two reasons:
  1 - In the javadocs we state that it will never return null
  2 - We may do a not optimal write as there may be things that could be written via gathering writes

Modifications:

Change NioSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.nioBuffers() /  EpollSocketChannelOutboundBuffer.memoryAddresses() to never return null but have it contain all ByteBuffer that were found before the non ByteBuf. This way we can do a gathering write and also conform to the javadocs.

Result:

Better speed and also correct implementation in terms of the api.
Use the correct memoryAddress size when do a gathering write. Part of [#2680]
[#2684] EpollSocketChannel gathering writes should take fast-path if possible

Motivation:

In EpollSocketchannel.writeBytesMultiple(...) we loop over all buffers to see if we need to adjust the readerIndex for incomplete writes. We can skip this if we know that everything was written (a.k.a complete write).

Modification:

Use fast-path if all bytes are written and so no need to loop over buffers

Result:

Fast write path for the average use.
[#2685] Epoll transport should use GetPrimitiveArrayCritical / ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical

Motivation:

At the moment we use Get*ArrayElement all the time in the epoll transport which may be wasteful as the JVM may do a memory copy for this. For code-path that will get executed fast (without blocking) we should better make use of GetPrimitiveArrayCritical and ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical as this signal the JVM that we not want to do any memory copy if not really needed. It is important to only do this on non-blocking code-path as this may even suspend the GC to disallow the JVM to move the arrays around.

See also http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/functions.html#GetPrimitiveArrayCritical

Modification:

Make use of GetPrimitiveArrayCritical / ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical as replacement for Get*ArrayElement / Release*ArrayElement where possible.

Result:

Better performance due less memory copies.
SPDY: fix pushed response NullPointerException
[#2675] Replace synchronization performed on util.concurrent instance in TrafficCounter

Motivation:

Message from FindBugs:
This method performs synchronization an object that is an instance of a class from the java.util.concurrent package (or its subclasses). Instances of these classes have their own concurrency control mechanisms that are orthogonal to the synchronization provided by the Java keyword synchronized. For example, synchronizing on an AtomicBoolean will not prevent other threads from modifying the AtomicBoolean.
Such code may be correct, but should be carefully reviewed and documented, and may confuse people who have to maintain the code at a later date.

Modification:

Use synchronized(this)

Result:

Less confusing code

- Optimize hashCode() and equals() for efficient iteration
- Fixed equals() to not return true for equals(null)
- Optimize iterator to not allocate new Entry at each next()
- Added toString()
- Added some new unit tests

Fix NPE while decoding authority section of a DNS response

Motivation:

NullPointerException is raised when a DNS response conrains a resource
record whose NAME is empty, which is the case for the authority section.

Modification:

Allow an empty name for DnsEntry. Only disallow an empty name for
DnsQuestion.

Result:

Fixes #2686
Raise a meaningful exception instead of NPE

Motivation:

When decoding the NAME field in a DNS Resource Record, DnsResponseDecoder
can raise a NullPointerException if the NAME field contains a loop.

Modification:

Instead of raising an NPE, raise CorruptedFrameException so that the
exception itself has meaning.

Result:

Less confusing when a malformed DNS RR is received
Fixing bug in HTTP/2 ping handling.

Motivation:

The current HTTP/2 ping handling replies with an ack using the same
buffer as the received ping. It doesn't call retain(), however, which
causes a ReferenceCountException since the buffer ends up getting
released twice (once by the write and once by the decoder).

Modifications:

Modified AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler to retain() the buffer. Added a
ping to Http2ConnectionRoundtripTest.stressTest() to verify the problem
and that this fixes it.

Result:

Ping should no longer cause an exception.
Simplify Bzip2 tests

Motivation:

Sometimes we have a 'build time out' error because tests for bzip2 codec take a long time.

Modifications:

Removed cycles from Bzip2EncoderTest.testCompression(byte[]) and Bzip2DecoderTest.testDecompression(byte[]).

Result:

Reduced time to test the 'codec' package by 30 percent.
Reduce the default initial capacity of ChannelOutboundBuffer

Motivation:

ChannelOutboundBuffer is basically a circular array queue of its entry
objects.  Once an entry is created in the array, it is never nulled out
to reduce the allocation cost.

However, because it is a circular queue, the array almost always ends up
with as many entry instances as the size of the array, regardless of the
number of pending writes.

At worst case, a channel might have only 1 pending writes at maximum
while creating 32 entry objects, where 32 is the initial capacity of the
array.

Modifications:

- Reduce the initial capacity of the circular array queue to 4.
- Make the initial capacity of the circular array queue configurable

Result:

We spend 4 times less memory for entry objects under certain
circumstances.
Refactor integration tests of compression codecs

Motivation:

Duplicated code of integration tests for different compression codecs.

Modifications:

- Added abstract class IntegrationTest which contains common tests for any compression codec.
- Removed common tests from Bzip2IntegrationTest and LzfIntegrationTest.
- Implemented abstract methods of IntegrationTest in Bzip2IntegrationTest, LzfIntegrationTest and SnappyIntegrationTest.

Result:

Removed duplicated code of integration tests for compression codecs and simplified an addition of integration tests for new compression codecs.
