    Thanks for sharing your idea. 
    I think I can understand your consideration and agree with that to some 
extent.
    
    In my current new added tests, I only want to verify the behaviors for 
released channel and un-released channel in handler. So it is easy to just 
control `isReleased` property in mocked `InputChannel`, and does not concern 
the details in `InputChannel`.
    
    As you said, if someone adds more interactions with `InputChannel` in the 
future or so, the previous tests with mocked `InputChannel` may bring potential 
risks. Considering this, I am willing to modify the new added tests with real 
`InputChannel`. :)

> This is a part of work for credit-based network flow control.
> The related works are :
> *  We define a new message called {{AddCredit}} to notify the incremental 
> credit during data shuffle. 
> * Whenever an {{InputChannel}}’s unannounced credit goes up from zero, the 
> channel is enqueued in the pipeline.
> * Whenever the channel becomes writable, it takes the next {{InputChannel}} 
> and sends its unannounced credit. The credit is reset to zero after each sent.
> * That way, messages are sent as often as the network has capacity and 
> contain as much credit as available for the channel at that point in time. 
> Otherwise, it would only add latency to the announcements and not increase 
> throughput.
