Netty--read接收数据创建的buf回收

创建地点：NioByteUnsafe#read

  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 {
                      // 申请了buf  
                    byteBuf = allocHandle.allocate(allocator);

。。。

回收地点：TailContext#channelRead

        public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
            onUnhandledInboundMessage(msg);
        }

    protected void onUnhandledInboundMessage(Object msg) {
        try {
            logger.debug(
                    "Discarded inbound message {} that reached at the tail of the pipeline. " +
                            "Please check your pipeline configuration.", msg);
        } finally {
           // 释放buffer  
            ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
        }
    }

SimpleChannelInboundHandler#read

    @Override
    public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) throws Exception {
        boolean release = true;
        try {
            if (acceptInboundMessage(msg)) {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                I imsg = (I) msg;
                channelRead0(ctx, imsg);
            } else {
                release = false;
                ctx.fireChannelRead(msg);
            }
        } finally {
            if (autoRelease && release) {
                // 释放
                ReferenceCountUtil.release(msg);
            }
        }
    }

• Netty默认会在ChannelPipline的最后添加一个tail handler帮你完成ByteBuf的release。
• SimpleChannelInboundHandler的read方法会释放msg
• 其释放的是channelRead传入的ByteBuf，如果在handlers传递过程中，传递了新值，老值需要你自己手动释放。
• 另外如果中途没有使用fireChannelRead传递下去也要自己释放。
