This commit reduces the number of concurrent validation operations the
router will perform when fully validating the channel graph. Reports
from several users indicate that GetInfo would hang for several minutes,
which is believed to be caused by attempting to validate massive amounts
of channels in parallel. This commit returns the limit back to its
original state before adding the batched gossip improvements.
We keep the 1000 concurrent validation request limit for
AssumeChannelValid, since we don't fetch blocks in that case. This
allows us to still keep the performance benefits on mobile/low-resource
devices.
The shasum command isn't available in Alpine linux while the sha256sum
command isn't available on MacOS. We add a simple switch that tries to
detect which one is available.
To fix an issue where the golang version would be picked up from the
host system if the docker-release command was used, we switch over to
using make inside of the container as well instead of feeding the
parameters into the release script manually.
We only pass in the flags that we might actually want to overwrite.
In this commit, we thread through the necessary state to allow users to
set a max shard amount. If this value is set, then this'll effectively
serve as a ceiling for all our split attempts. If we need to split,
we'll first try to use `paymentAmt/2`, if that's bigger than
`MaxShardAmt, then we'll use the latter instead.
Ideally in the future we have a dynamic way to automatically set both
the `MaxShardAmt` as well as `MaxParts` for users. Until then exposing
these two new fields will allow us to experiment with setting them
automatically using the RPC interface, and also give users a bit more
control over how we attempt to route payments, akin to coin control for
on-chain payments.
Fixes#4730
In this commit, we raise the default value for the `MaxParts` field from
1 to 16. This change was motivated by the fact that many users either
forget, or don't even know this field is there in the first place. A
value of 16 was chosen rather arbitraliy (other than power of 2). In
the future, we should tune this value based on the expected number of
payment attempts for a given payment amount.
Due to a misunderstanding of how the gpg command line options work, we
didn't actually create detached signatures because the --clear-sign
flag would overwrite that. We update our verification script to now only
download the detached signatures and verify them against the main
manifest file.
We also update the signing instructions.
Instead of only allowing the installed versions of lnd and lncli to be
verified, we now also support specifying explicit paths to binaries that
we want to verify.
In this commit, we fix a bug that would cause resolution of items in
/etc/hosts (or the like) to fail as Tor wouldn't recognize them as
proper host names. With this commit, we'll catch this error and fall
back to the system's resolver.
The recently added gossip throttling was shown to be too aggressive,
especially with our auto channel enable/disable signaling. We switch to
a token bucket based system instead as it's based on time, rather than a
block height which isn't constantly updated at a given rate.
Since the batch interval can potentially be long, adding local updates
to the graph could be slow. This would slow down operations like adding
our own channel update and announcements during the funding process, and
updating edge policies for local channels.
Now we instead check whether the update is remote or not, and only for
remote updates use the SchedulerOption to lazily add them to the graph.
