Netty-响应消息的释放

ChannelHandlerContext调用writeAndFlush()方法时,当消息发送完成,Netty框架会主动帮助应用释放内存,内存的释放分为两种场景。

- 堆内存(PooledHeapByteBuf)

会将HeapByteBuffer转换成DirectByteBuffer,并释放PooledHeapByteBuf到内存池。

	//AbstractNioChannel
	protected final ByteBuf newDirectBuffer(ByteBuf buf){
		final int readableBytes = buf.readableBytes();
		if (readableBytes == 0){
			ReferenceCountUtil.safeRelease(buf);
			return Upooled.EMPTY_BUFFER;
		}
		final ByteBufAllocator alloc = alloc();
		if(alloc.isDirectBufferedPooled()){
			ByteBuf directBuf = alloc.directBuffer(readableBytes);
			directBuf.writeBytes(buf, buf.readerIndex(), readableBytes);
			ReferenceCountUtil.safeRelease(buf);
			return directBuf;
		}
	}

如果消息完整地被写到SocketChannel中,则释放DirectByteBuf

	//ChannelOutboundBuffer
	public boolean remove(){
		Entry e = flushEntry();
		if(e == null){
			clearNioBuffers();
			return false;
		}
		Object msg = e.msg;
		ChannelPromise promise = e.promise;
		int size = e.pendingSize;
		removeEntry(e);
		if(!e.cancelled){
			ReferenceCountUtil.saveRelease(msg);
			safeSuccess(promise);
			decrementPendingOutboundBytes(size, false, true);
		}
	}

- DirectByteBuffer

不需要转换,在消息发送完成后,由ChannelOutboundBuffer的remove()负责释放。
