Thank you for fast response. It will fix issue for non-autoread channels (original issue), but after looking at affected code I'm afraid that channels with `AUTO_READ` can be hurt with this wakeups. @khitrin so you are saying it is not fixed with the PR ? I've built netty with the PR and can confirm that original issue is fixed.

But I think we need further investigation of this case.

1. For 4.1.16.Final (from Maven central) event spam begins immediately when upstream break the connection. Also I checked that setting `readPending` to `false` by debugger helps, so the PR clearly must fix the issue.

2. For 4.1.17.Final-SNAPSHOT (with the PR) single event fired on next `.read()` call.
It is absolutely correct behaviour, but why 4.1.16.Final fires event without `.read()` and why it fixed by this PR?
I will try to rebuild 4.1.16.Final on Mac and test it on Mac and Linux platforms. 

Also similar issue may affect channels with auto read enabled and `readPending` disabling might be not enough here.
 also @Scottmitch .... Finally confirmed on Linux. @khitrin when you say confirmed... what do you mean ? Confirmed as this pr fix it or what ? @normanmaurer, I've checked against @khitrin's source with 4.1.16.Final where issue is present on Linux and with 4.1.17.Final-SNAPSHOT from your PR #7259 which behaves same as on MacOSX. So, PR fixes issue same way as on Mac. I'm still seeing this problem in 4.1.22.Final on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, OpenJDK 1.8.0_151), which appears to have all the abovementioned fixes in place. I'm using the default NIO channel implementation, and am seeing thousands of these events fired when I shutdown the input.
 hmm interesting... @Scottmitch Can you have a look ? See https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7801 @khitrin   how do you find the Suspicious code?
Replace `DefaultSocketChannelConfig` with `SocketChannelConfig`. After this its ready to be merged :)
A lot of ChannelInputShutdownReadComplete events fired for NIO channel with ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE
### Expected behavior
Single `ChannelInputShutdownReadComplete` event will be fired for closed socket.

### Actual behavior
`ChannelInputShutdownReadComplete` event fired on each NIO event loop run.
`NioEventLoop` begin consuming a lot of CPU.

### Steps to reproduce
Create upstream connection channel with enabled `ALLOW_HALF_CLOSURE` and disabled `AUTO_READ`, do a single HTTP keep-alive request and wait until connection being closed by remote server.

### Netty version
4.1.16.Final

### JVM version (e.g. `java -version`)
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

### OS version (e.g. `uname -a`)
Darwin 16.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0: Thu Jun 15 17:36:27 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3789.70.16~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Also confirmed on Linux.

### Suspicious code fragment

from `io.netty.channel.nio.AbstractNioByteChannel::read`

https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/f57d8f00e17a3cbd127aeb2b499c3f2787c002e4/transport/src/main/java/io/netty/channel/nio/AbstractNioByteChannel.java#L124-L133

`readPending` not cleared when `allocHandle.lastBytesRead() <= 0`.

Negative read bytes indicates socket closed state, but each consecutive selection of this socket key with `OP_READ` will succeed immediately (may be related to http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4531726).

### Fix proposal

Call `removeReadOp()` on closed sockets.
