This commit makes the outgoing link pipeline the settle to the
switch as soon as it receives it. Previously, it would wait for a
revocation before sending it, which caused increased latency on
payments as well as possibly never settling on the incoming link.
A duplicate settle is still sent to the switch, but it is handled
gracefully. A new AckEventTicker was added to the switch which
acknowledges any pending settle / fail entries in an outgoing
link's fwd pkgs in batch. This was needed in order to reduce the
number of db txn's which would have been incurred by acking whenever
we receive a duplicate settle without batching.
Methods on failure message types used to be defined on value receivers.
This allowed assignment of a failure message to ForwardingError both as
a value and as a pointer. This is error-prone, especially when using a
type switch.
In this commit the failure message methods are changed so that they
target pointer receivers.
Two instances where a value was assigned instead of a reference are
fixed.
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 now properly convert multi-hop malformed HTLC
failures. Before this commit, we wouldn't properly add a layer of
encryption to these errors meaning that the destination would fail to
decrypt the error as it was actually plaintext.
To remedy this, we'll now check if we need to convert an error, and if
so we'll encrypt it as if it we were the source of the error (the true
source is our direct channel peer).
In this commit, we fix a bug that caused us to be unable to properly
handle malformed HTLC failures from our direct link. Before this commit,
we would attempt to decrypt it and fail since it wasn't well formed. In
this commit, if its an error for a local payment, and it needed to be
converted, then we'll decode it w/o decrypting since it's already
plaintext.
This commit modifies the behavior of the
HasActiveLink method within the switch to
only return true if the link is in the
link index and is eligible to forward
HTLCs.
The prior version returns true whenever
the link is found in the link index,
which may return true for pending
channels that are not actually active.
This commit adds conversion between the lnwire.UpdateFee message and the
new FeeUpdate PaymentDescriptor. We re-purpose the existing Amount field
in the PaymentDescriptor stuct to hold the feerate.
This commit moves the logic handling responses to
locally-initiated payments to be asynchronous. The
reordering of operations into handleLocalDispatch
brings a serious performance burden to the switch's
main event loop. However, the at-most once semantics
of circuit map and idempotency of cleanup methods
allows concurrent operations to run in parallel.
Prior to this commit, the async_payments_benchmark
would timeout due to the forcibly serial nature of
the prior design. With this change, there is no
perceptible difference in the benchmark OMM, even
though we've added two extra db calls.
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 thread through a link's quit channel into
routeAsync, the primary helper method allowing links to send
htlcPackets through the switch. This is intended to remove
deadlocks from happening, where the link is synchronously
blocking on forwarding packets to the switch, but also
needs to shutdown.
