In this commit, we create a new chainfee package, that houses all fee
related functionality used within the codebase. The creation of this new
package furthers our long-term goal of extracting functionality from the
bloated `lnwallet` package into new distinct packages. Additionally,
this new packages resolves a class of import cycle that could arise if a
new package that was imported by something in `lnwallet` wanted to use
the existing fee related functions in the prior `lnwallet` package.
In this commit, we convert the existing `channeldb.ChannelType` type
into a _bit field_. This doesn't require us to change the current
serialization or interpretation or the type as it is, since all the
current defined values us a distinct bit. This PR lays the ground work
for any future changes that may introduce new channel types (like anchor
outputs), and also any changes that may modify the existing invariants
around channels (if we're the initiator, we always have the funding
transaction).
This commit adds a new signal to the autopilot agent, meant to signal
when any of the available heuristics has gotten an update.
We currently use this to trigger a new channel opening after the
external scores have been updated.
When appending to a slice, there is no guarantee the slice won't be
modified. So instead of appending to the global slice
availableHeuristics, we create a temporary local one.
Probabilities are no longer returned for querymc calls. To still provide
some insight into the mission control internals, this commit adds a new
rpc that calculates a success probability estimate for a specific node
pair and amount.
With a separate proto message, it becomes possible to also return the
pair data for a single pair. This prepares for the new mc probability
querying rpc.
This prepares for decoupling the result interpretation of a single
payment attempt from the information stored in mission control memory
on the history of a node pair. A planned follow-up where we store both
the last success and last failure requires this decoupling.
This commit adds the total observed lifetime of a channel and the
totaluptime of its remote peer to the lnrpc channel struct. These
fields are marked as experimential because they are subject to
change.
In this commit we change path finding to no longer consider all channels
between a pair of nodes individually. We assume that nodes forward
non-strict and when we attempt a connection between two nodes, we don't
want to try multiple channels because their policies may not be identical.
Having distinct policies for channel to the same peer is against the
recommendation in the spec, but it happens in the wild. Especially since
we recently changed the default cltv delta value.
What this commit introduces is a unified policy. This can be looked upon
as the greatest common denominator of all policies and should maximize
the probability of getting the payment forwarded.
This commit adds a channel event store to the channel fitness
package which is used to manage tracking of a node's channels.
It adds tracking for channel open/closed and peer online/offline
events for all channels that a node has open.
Events are consumed from channelNotifier and peerNotifier event
subscriptions. If either of these subscriptions is cancelled,
channel scoring stops, because both subscriptions are expected
to run until node shutdown.
Two functions are exposed to allow external callers to get uptime
information about a channel. GetLifespan returns the period over
which the channel has been monitored. GetUptime returns the channel's
uptime over a specified period. Callers can use these functions to
get the channel's remote peer uptime over its entire lifetime, or
a subset of that period.
This commit adds a chanfitness package which will be used to track
channel health and performance metrics. It adds a channel event
structure which will be used to track channel opens/closes and peer
uptime.
The eventLog implements an uptime function which calcualtes uptime
over a given period and a lifespan function which returns the time
when the log began monitoring the channel and, if the channel is
closed, the time when it stopped moitoring it.
distance map now holds the edge the current path is coming from,
removing the need for next map.
Both distance map and distanceHeap now hold pointers instead of the full
struct to reduce allocations and copies.
Both these changes reduced path finding time by ~5% and memory usage by
~2mb.
Pre-sizing these structures avoids a lot of map resizing, which causes
copies and rehashing of entries. We mostly know that the map won't
exceed that size, and it doesn't affect memory usage in any significant
way.
Calling `ForEachNode` hits the DB, and allocates and parses every node
in the graph. Walking the channels also loads nodes from the DB, so this
meant that each node was read/parsed/allocated several times per run.
This reduces runtime by ~10ms and memory usage by ~4mb.
Since the funding flow requires messages to go through, make use of
sync version of SendToPeer. Using the async version we would risk that
the message was dropped and the process would stall (it would properly
continue after a restart though).
This commit removes the migrations from channeldb and references those
in the migrations_01_to_11 package. This creates a one-way dependency on
the migrations. Future changes to channeldb won't be able to break
migrations anymore.
This commit is a direct copy of the complete channeldb package. It only
changes the package declaration at the top of every file. We make this
full copy so that review can be focused on the actual changes made.
Otherwise changes may drown in all the file moves.
Linting for the new package is disabled, as it contains lots of
pre-existing issues.
