feat: support io_uring #366
Conversation
WalkthroughThe pull request introduces support for IO Uring, a modern Linux asynchronous I/O interface, in the Netty-based networking library. Changes include adding configuration constants, a method to retrieve IO Uring configuration, and modifications to the event loop utility to support IO Uring as a new event loop type. The implementation ensures backward compatibility with existing epoll and NIO event loop mechanisms while providing an optional IO Uring-based event loop when enabled. Changes

Confirm that setting epoll-specific channel options is appropriate when io_uring is disabled.To verify, review the interaction between epoll and io_uring in Netty's documentation and ensure that epoll options do not interfere when io_uring is enabled.

Ensure io_uring support is available before enabling
The ioUringEnabled variable should also check if io_uring is available on the current platform. Similar to how epollEnabled is initialized with an availability check, consider adding IOUring.isAvailable() to prevent potential runtime issues on systems that do not support io_uring.
Apply this change to include the availability check:
-private static final boolean ioUringEnabled = ConfigManager.netty_io_uring();
+private static final boolean ioUringEnabled = ConfigManager.netty_io_uring()
+ && IOUring.isAvailable();📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

There is no IOUring.isAvailable method

@funky-eyes You're absolutely right. After reviewing the implementation more carefully, I see that my suggestion was incorrect. The current approach of only checking the configuration flag is appropriate because:
- The io_uring dependency is marked as 'provided', so it's optional at runtime
- If io_uring classes aren't available, the code will naturally fall back to epoll/nio through the class loading mechanism
Thank you for the correction!
🔗 Analysis chain
@funky-eyes I apologize for my mistake. You are correct - I made an incorrect assumption about the existence of IOUring.isAvailable() method. I retract my previous suggestion about adding the availability check.

Learning: For Netty's io_uring support (netty-incubator-transport-native-io_uring), unlike Epoll, there's no need for explicit availability checks like `isAvailable()`. The optional 'provided' dependency and Java's class loading mechanism handle the fallback to epoll/nio when io_uring is not available.

Timestamp: 2025-01-20T02:00:07.128Z
Learning: The Netty IO_uring incubator does not provide an `IOUring.isAvailable()` method for checking io_uring availability, unlike the Epoll transport which provides `Epoll.isAvailable()`.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

💡 Codebase verification
Document IO_uring requirements and upgrade Netty version
-
Add IO_uring transport requirements to documentation:
- Linux kernel version 5.9 or higher
- Runtime provided dependency
-
Security recommendations:
- Current Netty version (4.1.42.Final) is outdated
- Consider upgrading to the latest stable version for security improvements
🔗 Analysis chain
Document runtime requirements for IO_uring support.
The IO_uring transport is provided at runtime and requires specific Linux kernel version (5.9+). Consider adding this information to the project documentation.
Also, verify security advisories for both Netty dependencies:

93-94: Replace System.out.println with proper test logging.While the assertion change to
assertNotSameis good, usingSystem.out.printlnfor debugging in tests isn't ideal. Consider:
- Using SLF4J/Logback for test logging
- Using JUnit's TestRule to capture output if needed
- Using AssertJ's assertion messages for detailed failure info
Example improvement:
-System.out.println(request.getClass()+"|"+remotingCtx+"|"+remotingContext); +logger.debug("Processing request: class={}, remotingCtx={}, parentContext={}", + request.getClass(), remotingCtx, remotingContext); Assert.assertNotSame(remotingCtx, remotingContext);

1-424: Verify IO Uring implementation in related files.While this file contains a good error handling improvement, it would be helpful to review the core IO Uring implementation files to ensure proper integration.
Let's check for IO Uring related files:
✅ Verification successful

The implementation follows best practices with:
- Configuration-driven activation (disabled by default)
- Proper fallback mechanism (IO Uring → Epoll → NIO)
- Clean integration with Netty infrastructure
- Appropriate dependency management (IO Uring as optional dependency)
