Each active channel now gains its a dedicated htlcManager goroutine
which currently accepts to two golang channels, and a lightning
channel. The “downstream” channel will be used for dispatched multi-hop
payments sent from the htlcSwitch, while the “upstream” channel will be
used once the readHandler de-multiplexes hltc add/timeout/settle
messages.
Each time a new channel is fully created after N confirmations, the
peer’s channelManager registers the new link with the htlcSwitch. Once
the channel is closed either cooperatively or non-cooperatively, then
the link is unregistered.
This commit switches the implementation of the open/close channel RPC’s
from a fully blocking synchronous model to one that’s async by default,
allowing callers to add a sync wrapper.
The new proto specs also allow for “updates” for the pending channels
in the form of new confirmations which progress the pending status of
the channel. At this point, only the final open/close updates have been
implemented. Obtaining confirmation notifications requires a bit of
re-working within the current ChainNotifier interface, thus this has
been deferred to a later time.
This commit fixes a bug introduced within a prior commit. The prior
commit failed to drollery reverse the txid string taken in as user
input, therefore in order to properly close a channel, the user needed
to manually reverse the txid themselves.
With this change, `wire.NewShaHashFromStr` is used which properly
reverses the string within the constructor. This allows the string
reported not be directly used to the close an active channel.
This commit also corrects a few logging messages.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
* With this commit, then initial draft of the peer struct is finished.
Items to still complete include the interaction between the peer and
internal wallet, version handshake, pings, etc.
