This commit adds a new method to the ChannelLink interface which is
meant to allow outside sub-system to update the forwarding policy of a
channel. This can be triggered either by a new RPC method, or
automatically by some sort of control system which seeks to optimize
fee revenue, or block off channels, etc.
This commit puts a missing piece in place by properly parsing and
validating the per hop payload received in incoming HTLC’s. When
forwarding HTLC’s we ensure that the payload recovered is consistent
with our current forwarding policy. Additionally, when we’re the “exit
node” for a payment, then we ensure that the HTLC extended matches up
with our expectation w.r.t the payment amount to be received.
This commit modifies the HopIterator interface to allow nodes that
receive incoming HTLC’s to make forwarding decisions based on the
returned peer hop information, rather than just the next hop. With this
change, we can now enforce our routing policy, and reject any HTLC’s
that violate the policy.
This commit adds a new bit of synchronization to the funding manager to
ensure that we only process the funding locked message directly _after_
the short channel ID has become available within the channel. This
fixes a possible bug wherein we would receive the funding locked
message, and register the channel with the switch without yet knowing
the short chan ID. This would then cause any HTLC’s routed to the new
channel to fail, as it would be using the incorrect short channel ID.
This commit modifies the funding process to use the short channel ID,
rather than only the opening block height to mark a channel as open
once it has been confirmed. With this change, the short channel ID
information will now be available immediately after the channel has
been confirmed in the chain.
This commit adds a new method to the routing.Route struct:
ToHopPayloads. This function will converts a complete route into the
series of per-hop payloads that is to be encoded within each HTLC using
an opaque Sphinx packet.
We can now use this function when creating the sphinx packet to
properly encoded the hop payload for each hop in the route.
This commit inches towards fully validation+adherance of the per-hop
payloads within an HTLC’s route by properly calculating the outgoing
time lock value for each hop according to the current draft
specification.
This commit modifies the OpenChannel struct to include the full short
channel ID rather than simply the opening height. This new field will
be needed by an upcoming change to uniformly switch to using short
channel ID’s when forwarding HTLC’s due to the change in per-hop
payloads.
This commit updates the OnionPacketSize constant in order to reflect
the size of the onion payload as a result of the recent changes to the
sphinx packet format in the specification.
This commit fixes a possible race condition wherein a call to
FilterBlock after a call to UpdateFilter would result in the call to
FilterBlock not yet using the updated filter. We fix this by ensuring
the internal chain filter is updated by the time the call to
FilterBlock returns.
This commit fixes a race condition that was discovered as a result of
the new htlcswitch package. The StateSnapshot method and all of the
other methods which mutate the state of the channel state machine were
using distinct mutexes. The fix is trivial: all methods accessing the
internal channel state variable now use the same mutex.
This commit optimizes the neutrino implementation of FilterBlock method
of the ChainView interface. The old implementation would _always_ fetch
the entire block and manually scan through it. Instead, we can just
fetch the filter, and then if the items match, fetch the block itself.
This will save bandwidth during a lnd node’s pruning of the channel
graph after a period of dormancy.
