A height hint not being set would cause lnd to scan for the
confirmation/spend of a txid/outpoint/address from genesis.
The number of confirmations not being set within a confirmation request
would cause the internal TxNotifier to deadlock when dispatching
updates.
There's no need to broadcast these as we assume that online nodes have
already received them. For nodes that were offline, they should receive
them as part of their initial graph sync.
In this commit, we address an edge case that can happen a user rescans
w/ their seed, while retaining their existing `channel.db`. Once they
rescan, if they go to sign for a channel sweep for example, the
commitment key family (actually an account) may not yet have been
created, causing the signing attempt to fail.
We remedy this always creating the account if we go to sign, and the
account isn't found. The change has been structured to make this the
exception, so we'll avoid always needing to do 2 DB hits (check if
account exists, sign), each time we sign.
A new test has been added to exercise this behavior. If the diff from
the `signer.go` file is removed, then the test will fail.
Log can be pretty spammy when using the pendingchannels rpc, which
creates a log for each closing channel. Should help clear up logs for
more pertinent information.
htlcs
config: Adding RejectHTLC field in config struct
This commit adds a RejectHTLC field in the config struct in config.go.
This allows the user to run lnd as a node that does not accept onward
HTLCs.
htlcswitch/switch: Adding a field RejectHTLC to the switch config
This commit adds a field RejectHTLC to the switch config. When the
switch receives an HTLC it will check this flag and if the HTLC is not
from the source hop, the HTLC will be rejected.
htlcswitch/switch: adding check for RejectHTLC flag and incomingChanID
This commit adds a check when receiving UpdateAddHTLC. The check looks
for the RejectHTLC flag set and whether the HTLC is from the sourceHop
(the local switch). If the HTLC is not from the sourceHop, then we
reject the HTLC and return a FailChannelDisabled error.
server: adding RejectHTLC field to initialization of switch
lnd_test: adding test for RejectHTLC
This commit adds a test which tests that a node with the --rejecthtlc
flag will reject any onward HTLCs but still can receive direct HTLCs and
can send HTLCs.
This commit overhauls the interpretation of failed payments. It changes
the interpretation rules so that we always apply the strongest possible
set of penalties, without making assumptions that would hurt good nodes.
Main changes are:
- Apply different rule sets for intermediate and final nodes. Both types
of nodes have different sets of failures that we expect. Penalize nodes
that send unexpected failure messages.
- Distinguish between direct payments and multi-hop payments. For direct
payments, we can infer more about the performance of our peer because we
trust ourselves.
- In many cases it is impossible for the sender to determine which of
the two nodes in a pair is responsible for the failure. In this
situation, we now penalize bidirectionally. This does not hurt the good
node of the pair, because only its connection to a bad node is
penalized.
- Previously we always penalized the outgoing connection of the
reporting node. This is incorrect for policy related failures. For
policy related failures, it could also be that the reporting node
received a wrongly crafted htlc from its predecessor. By penalizing the
incoming channel, we surely hit the responsible node.
- FailExpiryTooSoon is a failure that could have been caused by any node
up to the reporting node by delaying forwarding of the htlc. We don't
know which node is responsible, therefore we now penalize all node pairs
in the route.
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.
When an undecryptable failure comes back for a payment attempt, we
previously only penalized our own outgoing connection. However,
any node could have caused this failure. It is therefore better to
penalize all node connections along the route. Then at least we know for
sure that we will hit the responsible node.
This commit updates existing tests to not rely on mission control for
pruning of local channels. Information about local channels should
already be up to date before path finding starts. If not, the problem
should be fixed where bandwidth hints are set up.
This commit moves the payment outcome interpretation logic into a
separate file. Also, mission control isn't updated directly anymore, but
results are stored in an interpretedResult struct. This allows the
mission control state to be locked for a minimum amount of time and
makes it easier to unit test the result interpretation.
This commit converts several functions from returning a bool and a
failure reason to a nillable failure reason as return parameter. This
will take away confusion about the interpretation of the two separate
values.
Debug invoices are rarely used nowadays, but keep asking for maintenance
every time refactoring in primarily the invoice registry occurs. We have
passed the cost/benefit tipping point, so therefore the debug invoice
concept is removed in this commit.
Previously the debughtlc flag also controlled whether hodl masks were
active. It is safe to remove that additional condition because the hodl
masks are still guarded by the dev build tag.
Previously mission control tracked failures on a per node, per channel basis.
This commit changes this to tracking on the level of directed node pairs. The goal
of moving to this coarser-grained level is to reduce the number of required
payment attempts without compromising payment reliability.
This instruction did not get updated when the docker-compose file removed the `alice` service. This changes makes it work and is consistent with the previous instructions.
In order to prevent information leaks by nodes probing with a payment
hash, this commit changes exit hop processing so that it always returns
incorrect_or_unknown_payment_details and leaves the prober in the dark
about whether an invoice actually exists.
