Netty Data Stream Handling - read
上篇文章分析了EventLoop的实现,这篇文章我们主要看一下Netty中是怎么处理数据流的。涉及到几个核心抽象:Channel,ChannelHandler,ChannelPipeline。
-
Channel是网络套接字的抽象,一个Tcp链接对应一个Channel实例。 Channel提供了read, write, connect, bind这些基本网络操作。在Netty中所有的IO操作都是异步的,可以立即返回但是不能立即得到操作结果,只能拿到一个ChannelFuture。ChannelFuture中记录了操作是成功还是失败。
-
ChannelHandler是处理IO事件的主要抽象。
-
ChannelPipeline以链表的形式编排多个ChannelHandler,让IO事件在各个Handler中流转。
Channel和Unsafe
这段代码在上篇文章中我们已经读过了:EventLoop拿到了可用的OP_READ(Selection Key),然后调用Unsafe读取数据。
private void processSelectedKey(SelectionKey k, AbstractNioChannel ch) {
final AbstractNioChannel.NioUnsafe unsafe = ch.unsafe();
try {
if ((readyOps & (SelectionKey.OP_READ | SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT)) != 0 || readyOps == 0) {
unsafe.read();
}
} catch (CancelledKeyException ignored) {
unsafe.close(unsafe.voidPromise());
}
}
先来说一下Unsafe和Channel的关系。Unsafe是定义在Channel中的一个接口,它定抽象了所有网络相关的操作。不同的Channel实例都会实各自的Unsafe,以辅助进行IO操作。以下代码是Unsafe接口的定义。
interface Unsafe {
RecvByteBufAllocator.Handle recvBufAllocHandle();
SocketAddress localAddress();
SocketAddress remoteAddress();
void register(EventLoop eventLoop, ChannelPromise promise);
void bind(SocketAddress localAddress, ChannelPromise promise);
void connect(SocketAddress remoteAddress, SocketAddress localAddress, ChannelPromise promise);
void disconnect(ChannelPromise promise);
void close(ChannelPromise promise);
void closeForcibly();
void deregister(ChannelPromise promise);
void beginRead();
void write(Object msg, ChannelPromise promise);
void flush();
ChannelPromise voidPromise();
ChannelOutboundBuffer outboundBuffer();
}
这里Unsafe对应的是NioByteUnsafe,我们来看下它的read方法的实现。
public final void read() {
final ChannelConfig config = config();
final ChannelPipeline pipeline = pipeline();
final ByteBufAllocator allocator = config.getAllocator();
final RecvByteBufAllocator.Handle allocHandle = recvBufAllocHandle();
allocHandle.reset(config);
ByteBuf byteBuf = null;
boolean close = false;
try {
do {
// 1
byteBuf = allocHandle.allocate(allocator);
allocHandle.lastBytesRead(doReadBytes(byteBuf));
if (allocHandle.lastBytesRead() <= 0) {
byteBuf.release();
byteBuf = null;
close = allocHandle.lastBytesRead() < 0;
break;
}
allocHandle.incMessagesRead(1);
readPending = false;
// 2
pipeline.fireChannelRead(byteBuf);
byteBuf = null;
} while (allocHandle.continueReading());
allocHandle.readComplete();
// 3
pipeline.fireChannelReadComplete();
if (close) {
closeOnRead(pipeline);
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
handleReadException(pipeline, byteBuf, t, close, allocHandle);
} finally {
if (!readPending && !config.isAutoRead()) {
removeReadOp();
}
}
}
这个方法主要的三个逻辑已经标识出来:
1.分配ByteBuf(关于ByteBuf可以看我的另一篇文章)。
2.读取的数据传递给Pipeline。
3.告知Pipeline数据读取完毕。
在说pipeline.fireChannelRead(byteBuf);
之前我们先铺垫一些知识,这样我们读代码会更容易一下。
Channel,Pipeline,EventLoop三者之间的关系
现在我们来研究一下Channel,Pipeline,EventLoop三者之间的关系。我们先来看一下Channel接口,它定义了获取eventLoop和pipeline这两个抽象方法。具体如何实现都丢到了子类。
public interface Channel extends AttributeMap, ChannelOutboundInvoker, Comparable<Channel> {
EventLoop eventLoop();
ChannelPipeline pipeline();
}
我们找到Channel的一个继承类AbtractChannel,我把和Eventloop,Pipeline相关的代码摘出来:
public abstract class AbstractChannel extends DefaultAttributeMap implements Channel {
private final DefaultChannelPipeline pipeline;
private volatile EventLoop eventLoop;
protected AbstractChannel(Channel parent) {
this.parent = parent;
id = newId();
unsafe = newUnsafe();
pipeline = newChannelPipeline();
}
protected DefaultChannelPipeline newChannelPipeline() {
return new DefaultChannelPipeline(this);
}
protected abstract class AbstractUnsafe implements Unsafe {
public final void register(EventLoop eventLoop, final ChannelPromise promise) {
if (eventLoop == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("eventLoop");
}
if (isRegistered()) {
promise.setFailure(new IllegalStateException("registered to an event loop already"));
return;
}
if (!isCompatible(eventLoop)) {
promise.setFailure(
new IllegalStateException("incompatible event loop type: " + eventLoop.getClass().getName()));
return;
}
AbstractChannel.this.eventLoop = eventLoop;
if (eventLoop.inEventLoop()) {
register0(promise);
} else {
try {
eventLoop.execute(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
register0(promise);
}
});
} catch (Throwable t) {
logger.warn(
"Force-closing a channel whose registration task was not accepted by an event loop: {}",
AbstractChannel.this, t);
closeForcibly();
closeFuture.setClosed();
safeSetFailure(promise, t);
}
}
}
}
}
AbstractChannel定义了eventloop和pipeline两个变量。所以Channel中的eventloop(),pipeline()返回的是这两个变量值。然后我们再来看它的构造函数:
- pipeline是创建了一个DefaultChannelPipeline实例。
- eventloop则是通过register方法设置的,我的另一篇文章解释了register是什么时候发生的。
那这三者的关系我们现在也搞清楚了:Channel在初始化的时候都会创建一个DefaultChannelPipeline实例,同时也会分配一个EventLoop。
Pipeline Internal
在继续看channelpiple处理数据之前,我们先介绍ChannelPipeline是如何工作的。ChannelPipeline是Netty中处理事件的管道。它维护了一个链表来管理多个ChannelHandler。Pipeline定义了两种事件流向,分别是:inbound和outbound。对应的实现类分别是ChannelInboundHandler和ChannelOutboundHandler。如下图,从Socket读入数据传向程序内部,这是inbound流向;从程序向外流出并flush到Socket,这是outbound。

ChannelHandler主要负责事件处理,ChannelPipeline维护着多个handler。问题来了:如何在执行完Handler1之后调用它后边的Handler2呢?这就需要ChannelHandlerContext。ChannelHandlerContext是协调者,负责查找接下来要执行的是哪个handler。ChannelHandlerContext是Handler被添加到Pipeline时创建的。下图解释了Pipeline内部是如何工作的。
准确的说ChannelHandler要依附于Context,ChannelPipeline内部也是维护的Context的引用。由于我们平时打交道的都是handler和Pipeline,所以这么说更容易理解一些。下图解释了Pipeline,ChannelHandler,ChannelHandlerContext三者之间的关系。
回到pipeline的fireChannelRead
现在我们来看pipeline.fireChannelRead
。
public final ChannelPipeline fireChannelRead(Object msg) {
AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(head, msg);
return this;
}
head是pipeline默认的处于头部的ChannelHandler,它还有一个tail ChannelHandler处于Handler链的尾部。我们添加的ChannelHandler位于这两个Handler之间。上面的方法中我们看到了fireChannelRead内部实际调用了AbstractChannelHandlerContext的invokeChannelRead方法。我们进入这个方法:
static void invokeChannelRead(final AbstractChannelHandlerContext next, Object msg) {
final Object m = next.pipeline.touch(ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(msg, "msg"), next);
EventExecutor executor = next.executor();
if (executor.inEventLoop()) {
next.invokeChannelRead(m);
} else {
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
next.invokeChannelRead(m);
}
});
}
}
第一行代码用于检测ByteBuf的内存泄露。然后调用head(HandlerContext)的invokeChannelRead方法。
private void invokeChannelRead(Object msg) {
if (invokeHandler()) {
try {
((ChannelInboundHandler) handler()).channelRead(this, msg);
} catch (Throwable t) {
notifyHandlerException(t);
}
} else {
fireChannelRead(msg);
}
}
接着调用HeadContext的channelRead方法:
public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
}
关键部分,我们来看AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead方法,它又调用了invokeChannelRead方法,通过findContextInbound查找下一个被调用的HandlerContext。这样的话Handler就通过HandlerContext串联起来了。这样再调用invokeChannelRead时就会执行下个Handler的channelRead方法。
public ChannelHandlerContext fireChannelRead(final Object msg) {
invokeChannelRead(findContextInbound(), msg);
return this;
}
private AbstractChannelHandlerContext findContextInbound() {
AbstractChannelHandlerContext ctx = this;
do {
ctx = ctx.next;
} while (!ctx.inbound);
return ctx;
}
这篇文章我们以Netty如何处理读入的事件为线索,主要介绍了Channel,Pipeline,Handler之间的关系,以及Pipeline内部工作机制。
