In this commit, we modify the existing message sending functionality
within the fundingmanager. Due to each mesage send requiring to hold the
server's lock to retrieve the peer, we might run into a case where the
lock is held for a larger than usual amount of time and would therefore
block on sending the message within the fundingmanager. We remedy this
by taking a similar approach to some recent changes within the gossiper.
We now keep track of each peer within the internal fundingmanager
messages and send messages directly to them.
In this commit, we extend the server's functionality to prune link nodes
on startup. Since we currently only decide whether to prune a link node
from the database based on a channel close, it's possible that we have
link nodes lingering from before this functionality was added on.
In this commit, we update all the lncfg methods used to properly pass in
a new resolver. This is required in order to ensure that we don't leak
our DNS queries if Tor mode is active.
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.
In this commit, we address an existing issue with regards to the inital
peer bootstrapping stage. At times, the bootstrappers can be unreliable
by providing addresses for peers that no longer exist/are currently
offline. This would lead to nodes quickly entering an exponential
backoff method used to maintain a minimum target of peers without first
achieving said target.
We address this by separating the peer bootstrapper into two stages: the
initial peer bootstrapping and maintaining a target set of nodes to
maintain an up-to-date view of the network. The initial peer
bootstrapping stage has been made aggressive in order to provide such
view of the network as quickly as possible. Once done, we continue on
with the existing exponential backoff method responsible for maintaining
a target set of nodes.
traversal
In this commit, we allow our node to automatically advertise its
connection's external IPs on the ports it is currently listening on in
order to accept inbound connections. This is only done when specifying
a NAT traversal technique when starting the daemon.
We also include a handy method that watches for dynamic IP changes in
the background. If a new IP is detected, we'll craft a new node
announcement using the new IP and broadcast it to the network.
In this commit, we finish the fix for the inbound/outbound peer bool in
the server. The prior commit forgot to also flip the inbound/output maps
in Inbound/Outbound peer connected. As a result, the checks were
incorrect and could cause lnd to refuse to accept any more inbound
connections in the case of a concurrent connection attempt.
In this commit, we ensure that if we're already ignoring a connection,
then we also ignore the pending persistent connection request.
Otherwise, we'll move to accept the replaced connection, but then
continue to attempt connection requests.
In this commit, we modify the look up for inbound peers to ensure that
we connect to the "freshest" address until we need to execute the
peerTerminationWatcher. We do this as it's possible for a channel to be
created by the remote peer during our session. If we don't query for the
node's address at the latest point, then we'll miss this new node
announcement for the node.
In this commit, we address the meaning of the inbound parameter to
peerConnected. An inbound connection is defined as a connection
initiated by the peer, rather than ourselves.
We also update the inbound value for the peerConnected calls within
OutboundPeerConnected and InboundPeerConnected to reflect the definition
above.
We remove the internale broadcastMessage method, and instead handle the
mutex handling within BroadcastMessage. This lets us hold the mutex only
when neccessary.
This commit removes the sendToPeer method from the server, and instead
moves the necessary logic into SendToPeer. This let's us make the mutex
acquisition more fine-grained, only holding it while reading from the
peer map. Earlier it was required to be held during the whole call to
sendToPeer, as the method would access the map internally.
In this commit, we go through the codebase looking for TCP address
assumptions and modifying them to include the recently introduced onion
addresses. This enables us to fully support onion addresses within the
daemon.
In this commit, we update the way we reestablish inbound connections if
we lose connectivity to a node we have an open channel with. Rather than
fetching the node's advertised port, we'll fetch one of their advertised
addresses instead. This ensure that if the remote node is running behind
a proxy, we do not see the proxy's address.
In this commit, we allow the daemon to use the recently introduced Tor
Controller implementation. This will automatically create a v2 onion
service at startup in order to listen for inbound connections over Tor.

In this commit, we fix a bug where a fallback SRV lookup would leak
information if `lnd` was set to route connections over Tor. We solve
this by using the network-specific functions rather than the standard
ones found in the `net` package.
In this commit, we allow `lnd` to properly parse onion addresses in
order to advertise them to the network when set through the
`--externalip` flag.

In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.
In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.
The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.
This commit adds a simple scheduling mechanism for
resolving potential deadlocks when dropping a stale
connection (via pubkey inspection).
Ideally, we'd like to wait to activate a new peer until
the previous one has exited entirely. However, the current
logic attempts to disconnect (and wait) until the peer
has been cleaned up fully, which can result in
deadlocks with other portions of the codebase, since
other blocking methods may also need acquire the mutex
before the peer can exit.
When existing connections are replaced, they now
schedule a callback that is executed inside the
peerTerminationWatcher. Since the peer now waits for
the clean exit of the prior peer, this callback is
now executed with a clean slate, adds the peer to
the server's maps, and initiates peer's Start() method.
