This commit enables the user to specify he is not interested in
automatically close channels with pending payments that their
corresponding htlcs have timed-out.
By requiring a configurable grace period uptime of our node
before closing such channels, we give a chance to the other node to
properly cancel the htlc and avoid unnecessary on-chain transaction.
In mobile it is very important for the user experience as otherwise
channels will be force closed more frequently.
This commit adds a linkError field to track the value of failures
which occur at our node. This field is set when local payments or
multi hop htlcs fail in the switch or on our outgoing link. This
addition is required for the addition of a htlc notifier which will
notify these failures in handleDownstreamPacket.
The passing of link error to failAddPacket removes the need for an
additional error field, because the link error's failure detail will
contain any additional metadata. In the places where the failure detail
does not cover all the metadata that was previously supplied by addr
err, the error is logged before calling failAddPacket so that this
change does not reduce the amount of information we log.
Rename FailureDetail in a separate commit so that a FailureDetail
interface can be introduced in the following commit.
OutgoingFailureOnionDecode is renamed to OutgoingFailureDecodeError
to specifically indicate that we could not decode the wire
failure that our payment experienced.
Add a CheckCircularForward function which detects packets which are
forwards over the same incoming and outgoing link, and errors if the
node is configured to disallow forwards of this nature. This check is
added to increase the cost of a liquidity lockup attack, because it
increases the length of the route required to lock up an individual
node's bandwidth. Since nodes are currently limited to 20 hops,
increasing the length of the route needed to lock up capital increases
the number of malicious payments an attacker will have to route, which
increases the capital requirement of the attack overall.
Update the ChannelLink interface to specifically
return the LinkError struct. This error implements
the ClearTextError interface, so will be picked
up as a routing realted error by the router.
With LinkErrors implemented, the switch now
returns a LinkError for all failures on our
incoming/outgoing link and ForwardingError when
the failure occurs down the line.
Update the type check used for checking local payment
failures to check on the ClearTextError interface rather
than on the ForwardingError type. This change prepares
for splitting payment errors up into Link and Forwarding
errors.
This commit adds a ClearTextError interface
which is implemented by non-opaque errors that
we know the underlying wire failure message for.
This interface is implemented by ForwardingErrors,
because we can fully decrypt the onion blob to
obtain the underlying failure reason. This interface
will also be implemented by errors which originate
at our node in following commits, because we know
the failure reason when we fail the htlc.
The lnwire interface is un-embedded in the
ForwardingError struct in favour of implementing
this interface. This change is made to protect
against accidental passing of a ForwardingError
to the wire, where the embedded FailureMessage
interface will present as wire failure but
will not serialize properly.
In the scenario where the requested channel does not have enough balance
and another channel towards the same node generates a different failure,
we erroneously returned UnknownNextPeer instead of the expected
TemporaryChannelFailure.
This commit rewrites the non-strict forwarding logic in the switch to
return the proper failure message. Part of this is moving the link
balance check inside the link.
Extends the invalid payment details failure with the new accept height
field. This allows sender to distinguish between a genuine invalid
details situation and a delay caused by intermediate nodes.
Previously a temporary channel failure was returning for unexpected
malformed htlc failures. This is not what we want to communicate to the
sender, because the sender may apply a penalty to us only.
Returning the temporary channel failure is especially problematic if we
ourselves are the sender and the malformed htlc failure comes from our
direct peer. When interpretating the failure, we aren't able to
distinguish anymore between our channel not having enough balance and
our peer sending an unexpected failure back.
Align naming better with the lightning spec. Not the full name of the
failure (FailIncorrectOrUnknownPaymentDetails) is used, because this
would cause too many long lines in the code.
TestSwitchGetPaymentResult tests that the switch interacts as expected
with the circuit map and network result store when looking up the result
of a payment ID. This is important for not to lose results under
concurrent lookup and receiving results.
In this commit we move handing the deobfuscator from the router to the
switch from when the payment is initiated, to when the result is
queried.
We do this because only the router can recreate the deobfuscator after a
restart, and we are preparing for being able to handle results across
restarts.
Since the deobfuscator cannot be nil anymore, we can also get rid of
that special case.
This lets us distinguish an critical error from a actual payment result
(success or failure). This is important since we know that we can only
attempt another payment when a final result from the previous payment
attempt is received.
With the following commits, it'll become important to not resuse
paymentIDs, since there is no way to tell whether the HTLC in question
has already been forwarded and settled/failed.
We clarify this in the SendHTLC comments, and alter the tests to not
attempt to resend an HTLC with a duplicate payment ID.
This commit moves the responsibility of generating a unique payment ID
from the switch to the router. This will make it easier for the router
to keep track of which HTLCs were successfully forwarded onto the
network, as it can query the switch for existing HTLCs as long as the
paymentIDs are kept.
The router is expected to maintain a map from paymentHash->paymentID,
such that they can be replayed on restart. This also lets the router
check the status of a sent payment after a restart, by querying the
switch for the paymentID in question.
In this commit, we add a new test to ensure that we're able to properly
convert malformed HTLC errors that are sourced from multiple hops away,
or our direct channel peers. In order to test this effectively, we force
the onion decryptors of various peers to always fail which will trigger
the malformed HTLC logic.
In this commit, we deprecate the `IncorrectHtlcAmount` onion error.
We'll still decode this error to use when retrying paths, but we'll no
longer send this ourselves. The `UnknownPaymentHash` error has been
amended to also include the value of the payment as well. This allows us
to worry about one less error.
In this commit, we address an issue that could arise when using the
SendToRoute RPC. In this RPC, we specify the exact hops that a payment
should take. However, within the switch, we would set a constraint for
the first hop to be any hop as long as the first peer was at the end of
it. This would cause discrepancies when attempting to use the RPC as the
payment would actually go through another hop with the same peer. We fix
this by explicitly specifying the channel ID of the first hop.
Fixes#1500.
Fixes#1515.
In this commit, we modify the existing logic that would attempt to read
the min CLTV information from the invoice directly. With this route, we
avoid any sort of DB index modifications, as this information is already
stored within the payment request, which is already available to the
outside callers. By modifying the InvoiceDatabase interface, we avoid
having to make the switch aware of what the "primary" chain is.
In this commit, we move the block height dependency from the links in
the switch to the switch itself. This is possible due to a recent change
on the links no longer depending on the block height to update their
commitment fees.
We'll now only have the switch be alerted of new blocks coming in and
links will retrieve the height from it atomically.
