In this commit, we remove a ton of unnecessary indentation in the
processRemoteAdds method. Before this commit, we had a switch statement
on the type of the entry. This was required before when the method was
generic, but now since we already know that it’s an Add, we no longer
require such a statement.
In this commit, we remove the DecodeHopIterator method from the
ChannelLinkConfig struct. We do this as we no longer use this method,
since we only ever use the DecodeHopIterators method now.
In this commit, we fix a bug that was uncovered by the recent change to
lnwire.MilliSatoshi. Rather than manually compute the diff in fees,
we’ll directly compare the fee that is given against the fee that we
expect.
In this commit, we extend the switch as is, to record details
concerning settled payment circuits. To do this, we introduce a new
interface to the package: the ForwardingLog. This is a tiny interface
that simply lets us abstract away the details of the storage backing of
the forwarding log.
Each time we receive a successful HTLC settle, we’ll log the full
details (chans, fees, time) as a pending forwarding log entry. Every 15
seconds, we’ll then batch flush out these entries to disk. When we’re
exiting, we’ll try to flush out all entries to ensure everything gets
recorded to disk.
We’ll need this value within the link+switch in order to fully populate
the forwarding event that will be generated if this HTLC circuit is
successfully completed.
In this commit, we add the incoming+outgoing amounts if the HTLC’s that
the payment circuit consists of. With these new fields, we’ll be able
to populate the forwarding event log once the payment circuit has been
successfully completed.
This commit fixes a deadlock scenario caused when some
switch methods are waiting for a response on the
command's done/err chan. However, no such response will
be delivered if the main event loop has already exited.
This is resolved by selecting on the command's done/err chan
and the server's quit chan simultaneously.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that would result in some
payments getting “stuck”. This would happen if one side restarted
before the channel was fully locked in. In this case, since upon
re-connection, the link will get added to the switch with a *short
channel ID of zero*. If A then tries to make a multi-hop payment
through B, B will fail to forward the payment, as it’ll mistakenly
think that the payment originated from a local-subsystem as the channel
ID is zero. A short channel ID of zero is used to map local payments
back to their caller.
With fix this by allowing the funding manager to dynamically update the
short channel ID of a link after it discovers the short channel ID.
In this commit, we fix a second instance of reported “stuck” payments
by users.
This commit updates the tests for checking a links Bandwidth()
calculation, after the change that made us use the remoteACKedIndex
instead of the logIndex when calculating it. The main result of this
change is that we never consider incoming updates before they are
acked, when calculating the bandwidth. This is because this was
inconsistent with the state we actually end up signing later on.
This commit introduces a new Ticker interface, that can be used
to control when the batch timer should tick. This is done to be
able to more easily control the ticker during tests. The batch
timer is wrapped in the new BatchTicker struct, and made part
of the config together with BatchSize.
In this commit, we add 6 new integration tests to test the various
actions that may need to be performed when either side goes on-chain to
fully resolve HTLC’s. Many of the tests are mirrors of each other as
they test sweeping/resolving HTLC’s from both commitment transactions.
In this commit, we update the failure case within handleLocalDispatch
to handle locally sourced resolutions. This is the case that we send a
payment out, but before it can even get past the first hop, we need to
go to chain (may have been a cascading failure). Once the HTLC is fully
resolved, we’ll send back a resolution message, however, that message
doesn’t have a failure reason populated. To properly handle this, we’ll
send back a permanent channel failure to the router.
In this commit, we address a lingering TODO: before this if we had a
set of HTLC’s that we knew the pre-image to on our commitment
transaction after a restart, then we wouldn’t attempt to settle them.
With this new change, we’ll check that we didn’t already retransmit the
settles for them, and check the preimage cache to see if we already
know the preimage. If we do, then we’ll immediately settle them.
In this commit, we add some additional logic to the case when we
receive a pre-image from an upstream peer. We’ll immediately add it to
the witness cache, as an incoming HTLC might be waiting on-chain to
fully resolve the HTLC with knowledge of the newly discovered
pre-image.
In this commit, we add a new method: ProcessContractResolution. This
will be used by entities of the contract court package to notify us
whenever they discover that we can resolve an incoming contract
off-chain after the outgoing contract was fully resolved on-chain.
We’ll take a contractcourt.ResolutionMsg and map it to the proper
internal package so we can fully resolve an active circuit.
Before this commit, if the htlcManager unexpectedly exited (due to a
protocol error, etc), the underlying block epoch notification intent
that was created for it would never be cancelled. This would result in
tens, or hundreds of goroutine leaks as the client would never consume
those notifications.
To fix this, we move cancellation of the block epoch intent from the
Stop() method of the channel link, to the defer statement at the top of
the htlcManager.
In this commit, we add an additional case when handling a failed
commitment signature. If we detect that it’s a InvalidCommitSigError,
then we’ll send over an lnwire.Error message with the full details. We
don’t yet properly dispatch this error on the reciting side, but that
will be done in a follow up a commit.
In this commit, we fix a lingering protocol level bug when reporting
errors encountered during onion blob processing. The spec states that
if one sends an UpdateFailMalformedHtlc, then the error reason MUST
have the BadOnion bit set. Before this commit, we would return
CodeTemporaryChannelFailure. This is incorrect as this doesn’t have the
BadOnio bit set.
In this commit, we modify the way the link handles HTLC’s that it
detects is destined for itself. Before this commit if a payment hash
came across for an invoice we’d already settled, then we’d gladly
accept the payment _again_. As we’d like to enforce the norm that an
invoice is NEVER to be used twice, this commit modifies that behavior
to instead reject an incoming payment that attempts to re-use an
invoice.
Fixes#560.
This commit fixes a lingering bug that could at times cause
incompatibilities with other implementations when attempting a
cooperative channel close. Before this commit, we would use a pointer
to the funding txin everywhere. As a result, each time we made a new
state, or verified one, we would modify the sequence field of the main
txin of the commitment transaction. Due to this if we updated the
channel, then went to do a cooperative channel closure, the sequence of
the txin would still be set to the value we used as the state hint.
To remedy this, we now copy the txin each time when making the
commitment transaction, and also the cooperative closure transaction.
This avoids accidentally mutating the txin itself.
Fixes#502.
This simplifies the pending payment handling code because it allows it
be handled in nearly the same way as forwarded HTLCs by treating an
empty channel ID as local dispatch.
The src/dest terminology for routing packets is kind of confusing
because the source HTLC may not be the source of the packet for
settles/fails traversing the circuit in the opposite direction. This
changes the nomenclature to incoming/outgoing and always references
the HTLCs themselves.
Previously, some methods on a LightningChannel like SettleHTLC and
FailHTLC would identify HTLCs by payment hash. This would not always
work correctly if there are multiple HTLCs with the same payment hash,
so instead we change these methods to identify HTLCs by their unique
identifiers instead.
This changes the circuit map internals and API to reference circuits
by a primary key of (channel ID, HTLC ID) instead of paymnet
hash. This is because each circuit has a unique offered HTLC, but
there may be multiple circuits for a payment hash with different
source or destination channels.
The constructor functions have no additional logic other than passing
function parameters into struct fields. Given the large function
signatures, it is more clear to directly construct the htlcPacket in
client code than call a function with lots of positional arguments.
In this commit, we modify the existing logic to handle
UpdateFailMalformedHLTC message from an incoming peer. Rather than fail
the Chanel if they give us an invalid failure code, we’ll instead treat
it as a temporary channel failure so we can continue to forward the
error.
This commit is a follow up to a prior commit which skipped sending the
commitment sig message (and sending out the update fee) message if the
channel wasn’t yet able to forward any HTLC’s. We’ll modify the prior
commit to not add the fee update to the channel at all. Otherwise, we
risk a state desynchronization.
This commit adds a check to `updateChannelFee` which skipssending the
`update_fee` message when the channel is not eligable for forwarding
messages (likely due to the channel's `RemoteNextRevocation` not yet
being set).
This addresses #470.
This commit fixes an existing bug wherein we would incorrectly attempt
to forward and HTLC to a link that wasn’t yet eligible for forwarding.
This would occur when we’ve added a link to the switch, but haven’t yet
received a FundingLocked message for the channel. As a result, the
channel won’t have the next revocation point available. A logic error
prior to this commit would skip tallying the largest bandwidth rather
than skipping examining the link all together.
Fixes#464.
In this commit, when selecting a candidate link to forward a payment,
we’ll ensure that it’s actually able to take on the HTLC. Otherwise,
we’ll skip over the link itself. Currently, a link is only fully
eligible for forwarding, *after* we’ve received and fully processed the
FundingLocked message.
In this commit, we add a new method to the ChanneLink interface:
EligibleToForward. This method allows a link to be added to the switch,
but in an intermediate state which indicates that it isn’t yet ready to
forward any incoming HTLC’s.
In this commit we add a new case to the main select statement within a
channel link. This select statement will serve as a Sipping Bird which
will check the network fee rate (as returned by the fee estimator) and
compare that to the fee on the commitment transaction. Using the
shouldAdjustCommitFee function, we determine if we should update the
commitment fee. If so, then we’ll send an UpdateFee message and also
trigger a new commitment update.
We also add a new unit test: TestChannelLinkUpdateCommitFee to ensure
that we update the fee accordingly if the fee increases or decreases by
a large portion.
In this commit, we add a new helper function to the link which will be
utilized in a later commit. This helper function will help us determine
if we should update the commitment fee, in response to a change in the
network fee return by our fee estimators.
In this commit we modify the primary InvoiceRegistry interface within
the package to instead return a direct value for LookupInvoice rather
than a pointer. This fixes an existing race condition wherein a caller
could modify or read the value of the returned invoice.
In this commit we add a quit case to the select statement that’s
entered once a link is created. Before this commit, upon restart it
would be possible that the deamon would never ben able to shutdown as
the link would be waiting for the messages to be sent by the other
side.
In this commit, we update getChanID to be aware of the FundingLocked
message as it will be retransmitted upon reconnect if both nodes think
that they’re at the very first commitment state.
In this commit, we’ve re-written the process of syncing the state of
channels after we reconnect. This re-write ensure correctness, and also
simplified the existing logic which would attempt to launch another
goroutine to handle requests from the switch to ensure that it doesn’t
block. This is no longer necessary as the AddPacket method that the
switch indirectly calls is non-blocking.
In this commit, we modify the existing implementation of the
Bandwidth() method on the default ChannelLink implementation to use
much tighter accounting. Before this commit, there was a bug wherein if
the link restarted with pending un-settled HTLC’s, and one of them was
settled, then the bandwidth wouldn’t properly be updated to reflect
this fact.
To fix this, we’ve done away with the manual accounting and instead
grab the current balances from two sources: the set of active HTLC’s
within the overflow queue, and the report from the link itself which
includes the pending HTLC’s and factors in the amount we’d need to (or
not need to) pay in fees for each HTLC.
In this commit, we’ve modified the link and the switch to start to use
the new mailBox in place of the existing synchronous message send
directly into the link’s upstream/downstream channels. With his change,
we no longer need to spawn a new goroutine each time an HTLC needs to
be forwarded, or a user payment is initiated.
In this commit, we add a new abstraction to the package: the mailBox.
The mailBox is a non-blocking, concurrent safe, in-order queue for
delivering messages to a given channelLink instance. With this
abstraction in place, we can now allow the switch to no longer launch a
new goroutine for each forwarded HTLC, or instantiated user payment.
After addition of the retransmission logic in the channel link, we
should make the onion blobs persistant, the proper way to do this is
include the onion blobs in the payment descriptor rather than storing
them in the distinct struct in the channel link.
In this commit BOLT№2 retranmission logic for the channel link have
been added. Now if channel link have been initialised with the
'SyncState' field than it will send the lnwire.ChannelReestablish
message and will be waiting for receiving the same message from remote
side. Exchange of this message allow both sides understand which
updates they should exchange with each other in order sync their
states.
In order to be able to properly restart switch several times we should
have the sequential process of channel link stop. In other words if we
stopped the switch we should be sure that all channel links have been
stopped too. Addition of the goroutine during the force close was added
because of the deadlock:
Trace:
1. link:force_close_notification
2. link:wipe_channel
3. peer:switch_remove_link
4. switch:stop_link
5. link:wait <-- deadlock
This commit where added as a measure to avoid the panic during several
server simultanoius fault. The panic happened becuase *t.Testing
structure is not concurrent safe.
In this commit, we address a lingering TODO within the
TestUpdateForwardingPolicy test case to ensure that Bob will reject the
payment the second time around due to an update in his fee policy.
In this commit, we update the TestLinkForwardTimelockPolicyMismatch to
instead _subtract_ time from the first HTLC extended to the initial
hop. We now subtract instead as giving intermediate hops more time
is.now permitted.
In this commit, we relax the time lock verification when we realize
we’re an intermediate hop. We no longer directly assert that the time
lock we receive is _identical_, instead we allow slow slack and will
reject iff, the incoming timelock minus the outgoing time lock doesn’t
meet our delta requirements.
This commit modifies the errors that we return within the
handleLocalDispatch method. Rather than returning a regular error, or
simply the matching error code in some instances, we now _always_
return an instance of ForwardingError. This will allow the router to
make more intelligent decisions w.r.t routing HTLC’s as with this
information it will now be able to differentiate errors that occur
within the switch (before sending out the HTLC), from errors that occur
within the HTLC route itself.
This commit adds a new field to the switch’s Config, namely the public
key of the backing lightning node. This field will soon be used to
return more detailed errors messages back to the ChannelRouter itself.
This commit adds a new field to the ForwardingError struct: ExtraMsg.
The purpose of this field is to allow the htlcswitch to tack on
additional error context to ForwardingError messages returned to the L3
router.
This commit renames the Deobfuscator interface to ErrorDecrypter and
the Obfuscator interface to ErrorEncrypter. With this rename, the
purpose of these two interfaces are a bit clearer.
Additionally, DecryptError (which was formerly Deobfuscate) now
directly returns an ForwardingError type instead of the
lnwire.FailureMessage.
This commit introduces a new type to the package: ForwardingError. It
wraps an existing lnwire.FailureMessage interface, and also includes
the _source_ of the error message. By including the source of the
message, the router can now prune the set of available routes down in
order to reduce the number of subsequent failures based on the source
of the error and the type of the error itself.
This commit fixes an existing bug, wherein if we failed to account for
the fact that if we we’re unable to add an HTLC for any reason other
than an overflown commitment transaction, then we wouldn’t properly
re-add the available bandwidth of the offending HTLC.
This commit modifies the error we return to the end user in the case of
an insufficient link capacity error when handling a local payment
dispatch. Previously we would return a
lnwire.CodeTemporaryChannelFailure, however, this isn’t necessary as
this is a local payment attempt and we don’t give up any sensitive
information by returning the best available bandwidth, and what we need
to complete the payment.
In the case where the channelLink get started and the number of
updates on this channel is zero, this means no paymenys has been
done using this channel. This might mean that the fundingLocked
never was sent successfully, so we resend to make sure this
channel gets opened correctly.
This commit fixes a bug related to swallowing an error that should go
to the switch in the case of an insufficient balance error when
attempting to add a new HTLC to the channel state machine. In this
case, an error would never be returned back to the client/switch, and
the internal processing within the channelLink would loop forever,
attempting to add an HTLC that can’t be added due to insufficient
balance to state machine itself.
We fix this issue by only treating the lnwallet.ErrMaxHTLCNumber as the
only error that prompts adding an HTLC to the overflow queue rather
than sending the error directly back to the switch.
This commit fixes a possible deadlock within the packetQueue that could
be caused by the following circular waiting dependency:
packetCoordinator woken up, grabs lock, queue isn’t empty, attempts to
send packet to link (lock still held) -> channelLink has commitment
overflow, attempts to add new item to packet queue, in AddPkt grabs
Lock -> circular wait.
We avoid this scenario by *not* holding the lock within the
packetCoordinator when we attempt to send a new packet to the switch.
Instead, we release the lock before the second select statement in the
main processing loop.
This commit adds a new test case for the default implementation of the
ChannelLink to ensure that the bandwidth is updated properly in the
face of commitment transaction overflows, and the subsequent draining
of said overflown commitment transaction.
This commit adds a new test for the current default ChannelLink
implementation to ensure that the bandwidth updates for a link are
externally consistent from the PoV of callers after a modifying action.
In this commit, we’ve moved away from the internal queryHandler within
the packetQueue entirely. We now use an internal queueLen variable
internally to allow callers to sample the queue’s size, and also for
synchronization purposes internally.
This commit also introduces a chan struct{} (freeSlots) that is used
internally as a semaphore. The current value of freeSlots reflects the
number of available slots within the commitment transaction. Within the
link, after an HTLC has been removed/modified, then a “slot” is freed
up. The main packetConsumer then interprets these messages as a signal
to attempt to free up a new slot within the queue itself by dumping off
to the commitment transaction.
This commit removes the internal queryHandler within the packetQueue
itself in order to make way for an upcoming commit which uses atomic
variables to report the length of the queue to outside callers.
Additionally, due to the recent change within the channeling, we no
longer need to report the total value of all pending HTLC’s to the
outside world.
This commit modifies the way the bandwidth of a given channel link is
tracked, and reported externally. The prior approach pushed most of the
logic for tracking channel bandwidth into the link itself, and relied
on a report from the queue in order to determine the total available
bandwidth. This approach at times could inadvertently introduce
deadlocks when working on new features as since the query was handled
internally, it required the link to be _active_ and non-blocked in
order to respond to.
We’ve now abandoned this approach in favor of lifting the bandwidth
accounting to the highest possible abstraction layer within the link
itself. We now maintain a availableBandwidth integer that’s used
atomically within the link in response to: us adding+settling an HTLC,
and the remote party failing one of our HTLC’s.
This commit completes a full re-write of the link’s packet overflow
queue with the goals of the making the code itself more understandable
and also allowing it to be more extensible in the future with various
algorithms for handling HTLC congestion avoidance and persistent queue
back pressure.
The new design is simpler and consumes much less coroutines (no longer
a new goroutine for each active HLTC). We now implement a simple
synchronized queue using a standard condition variable.
This commit adds a new debug mode for lnd
called hodlhtlc. This mode instructs a node
to refrain from settling incoming HTLCs for
which it is the exit node. We plan to use
this in testing to more precisely control
the states a node can take during
execution.
This commit fixes an existing bug in the way we perform validation of
the timelock information as the final hop in the route. Previously, we
would assert that the outgoing time lock in the per-hop payload would
exactly match our time lock delta.
Instead, we should be asserting two things:
1. That the time lock in the payload is >= the expected time lock
2. That timeout on the HTLC is exactly equal to the payload
This commit adds a new method to the HtlcSwitch:
UpdateForwardingPolicies. With this method callers are now able to
modify the forwarding policies of all, or some currently active links.
We also make a slight modification to the way that forwarding policy
updates are handled within the links themselves to ensure that we don’t
override with a zero value for any of the fields.
This commit modifies how the htlcswitch handles close requests.
Previously it could be the case that a new channel was added, but at
the same time a channel was requested to be closed. This would result
in a circular waiting dependency: the peer contacts the switch, who
tries to contact the peer.
We eliminate this possibility by ensuring that the switch handles all
close requests asynchronously. With this, the switch won't block
indefinitely in the scenario described above.
This commit implements a missing policy within the current ChannelLink
interface. If an HTLC arrives that is too close to the current block
height, then we’ll reject it. As otherwise, it may be possible for us
to lose an on-chain claim if they HTLC expires already or expires
before we’re able to get a commitment transaction in the chain.
As the exit node, we have a grace period that governs out decision. As
an intermediate node, we ensure that the HTLC isn’t close to expiry on
our outgoing link end if we forward it.
This commit temporary increases the timeout for the
TestChannelLinkBidirectionalOneHopPayments test in order to account for
the slowness of the travis instances that our tests are run on.
This commit modifies the TestChannelLinkBidirectionalOneHopPayments
test to ensure that each payment sent is safely above the dust
threshold. Note that the dust threshold itself is now higher due to the
existence of the HTLC covenant transactions which the HTLC values
themselves must cover.
This change ensure that this test operates under “normal” operation
conditions in order to catch any bugs introduced during a major change.
We can safely remove the initial revocation window extension as this
has gone away with the new state machine. We instead now just fill the
window once the channel has been opened, and then maintain a fixed
window size of 2 from there on.
In previous commits we have intoduced the onion errors. Some of this
errors include lnwire.ChannelUpdate message. In order to change
topology accordingly to the received error, from nodes where failure
have occured, we have to propogate the update to the router subsystem.
Within the network, it's important that when an HTLC forwarding failure
occurs, the recipient is notified in a timely manner in order to ensure
that errors are graceful and not unknown. For that reason with
accordance to BOLT №4 onion failure obfuscation have been added.
This commit fixes a regression introduce in the prior commit which
added full verification of the per-hop payloads to the ChannelLink
interface. When this was initially implemented, the added checks
weren’t guarded on the existence of debughtlc’s. As a result,
debughtlc’s would be rejected as they don’t match the expected invoice
value.
This commit fixes that issue by only checking the hop payload if debug
HTLC mode isn’t on.
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.
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 fixes a slight regression in the logic of the switch by
ensuring that the log commitment timer is only start _after_ we receive
a new commitment signature. Otherwise, the ticker will keep ticking and
possibly settle HTLC’s that’ve yet to be locked in, or waste a
signature causing us to be deprived of a revocation which is required
for us to initiate a new state transition.
Additionally, the commit performs a few minor post-merge clean ups.
This commit fixes some issues in the display of the stats logger which
resulted in: stats being printed even though no forwarding activity
took place, and underflow of integers resulting in weird outputs when
forwarding.
This commit also adds some additional comments and renames the main
forwarding goroutine to its former name.
This commit fixes an issue that would at times cause the htlcManager
which manages the link that’s the final hop to settle in an HTLC flow.
Previously, a case would arise wherein a set of HTLC’s were settled to,
but not properly committed to in the commitment transaction of the
remote node. This wasn’t an issue with HTLC’s which were added but
uncleared, as that batch was tracked independently.
In order to fix this issue, we now track pending HTLC settles
independently. This is a temporary fix, as has been noted in a TODO
within this commit.
In this commit usage of the pending packet queue have been added.
This queue will consume the downstream packets if state machine return
the error that we do not have enough capacity for htlc in commitment
transaction. Upon receiving settle/fail payment descriptors - add htlc
have been removed, we release the slot, and process pending add htlc
requests.
In this commit pending packet queue have been added. This queue
consumes the htlc packet, store it inside the golang list and send it
to the pending channel upon release notification.
Step #5 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
Combine all that have been done so far and add test framework for channel
links which allow unit test:
* message ordering
* detect redundant messages
* single hop payment
* multihop payment
* several cancel payment scenarios
Because processing of onion blob have been moved in another place we
could get rid of the variables which are not needed any more.
NOTE: pendingBatch have been replaced with batchCounter variable, but
it should be removed at all, because number of pending batch updates
might be counted by the state machine itself.
Step №4 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
This step consist of two:
1. Start using the hop iterator abstraction, the concrete
implementation of which will be added later, basically it will we the
same sphinx onion packet processor, but wrapped in hop iterator
abstraction.
2. The RevokAndAck processing part have been replaced by the
"processLockedInHtlcs" function which implement the same logic, but make
it a bit simpler.
Such changes will allow as to get rid of the the unnecessary variables.
Short: such abstraction give as ability to test the channel link in the
future.
Long: hop iterator represents the entity which is be able to give payment
route hop by hop. This interface will be used to have an abstraction
over the algorithm which we use to determine the next hope in htlc route
and also helps the unit test to create mock representation of such
algorithm which uses simple array of hops.
Step №2 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
Implement the ChannelLink interface which is needed to use it in pair
with htlc switch. With this commit channel link impelements interface,
but isn't able to operate properly yet.
In this commit all initial code which will be transformed into channel
link have been added. Rather than changing the in the same commit is
better to create the standalone commit, in order to see the changes
which have been applied to relocated code.
This commit gives the start for making the htlc manager and htlc switch
testable. The testability of htlc switch have been achieved by mocking
all external subsystems. The concrete list of updates:
1. create standalone package for htlc switch.
2. add "ChannelLink" interface, which represent the previous htlc link.
3. add "Peer" interface, which represent the remote node inside our
subsystem.
4. add htlc switch config to htlc switch susbystem, which stores the
handlers which are not elongs to any of the above interfaces.
With this commit we are able test htlc switch even without having
the concrete implementation of Peer, ChannelLink structures, they will
be added later.
Add hop id structure wich represent the next lnd node in sphinx payment
route. This structure will be removed when we switch to use the channel
id as the pointers to the htlc update.
