In this commit, we modify the test to explitlcy give the neutrino
backend more time to catch up compared to the RPC backends. We do this
as a recent change has been made in the neutrino backend to wait for the
filter headers to finish syncing before proceeding with the rescan
itself. As a result, we'll need to account for this in the test and
sleep enough to give the backend a chance to catch up.
In this commit, we ensure that the neutrino backend meets the target
interface, and also we update the API usage for the internal neutrino
rescan struct to use the new InputWithScript struct.
In this commit, we update the existing UpdateFilter method to take the
new channeldb.EdgePoint struct in place of the prior wire.OutPoint. We
must do this as the caller now typically has this type due to the
preparation to enable lnd to be able to be compatible with the new
neutrino protocol.
In this commit, we fix a slight race condition that can occur when we go
to add a shell node for a node announcement, but then right afterwards,
a new block arrives that causes us to prune an unconnected node. To
ensure this doesn't happen, we now add shell nodes within the same db
transaction as AddChannelEdge. This ensures that the state is fully
consistent and shell nodes will be added atomically along with the new
channel edge.
As a result of this change, we no longer need to add shell nodes within
the ChannelRouter, as the database will take care of this operation as
it should.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that could at times lead to a
panic if a user manually crafts a route via SendToRoute, and that route
results in a payment error. The fix is simple: create the map even
though it won't be used in the sessions since the user is feeding the
router manual routes.
In this commit, we modify the granularity of the locking
around the filterMtx in the bitcoind chainview, such that
we only lock once per block connected or filter update.
Currently, we acquire and release the lock for every
update to the map.
We also fix a bug that would cause us to not fully remove
all previous outpoints spent by a txn when doing manual
filter, as we previously would only remove the first output
detected.

In this commit, we update the generateSphinxPacket to use newLogClosure
to delay the spew evaluation until log print time. Before this commit,
even if we weren't on the trace logging level, the spew call would
always be evaluated.
In this commit, a new weight function is introduced. This will create a
meaningful effect of time lock on route selection. Also, removes the
squaring of the fee term. This led to suboptimal routes.
Unit test added that covers the weight function and asserts that the
lowest fee route is indeed returned.
This comment extends the unit tests for NewRoute with checks
on the total time lock for a route as well as the expected time
lock values for every hop along the route.
This commit fixes the logic inside the newRoute function to
address the following problems:
- Fee calculation for a hop does not include the fee that needs
to be paid to the next hop.
- The incoming channel capacity "sanity" check does not include
the fee to be paid to the current hop.
In this commit, we fix the incorrect expiry values in the
spec_example.json test file. Many of the time locks were incorrect which
allowed bugs within the path finding logic related to CLTV deltas to go
un-detected.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the newRoute method. Before
this commit we would use the time lock delta of the current hop to
compute the outgoing time lock for the current hop. This is incorrect as
the time lock delta of the _outgoing_ hop should be used, as this is
what we're paying for "transit" on. This is a bug left over from when we
switched the meaning of the CLTV delta on the ChannelUpdate message
sometime last year.
The fix is simple: use the CLTV delta of the prior (later in the route)
hop.
- Extend SendRequest and QueryRoutesRequest protos
- newRoute function takes fee limit and cuts off routes that exceed it
- queryRoutes, payInvoice and sendPayment commands take the feeLimit inputs and pass them down to newRoute
- When no feeLimit is included, don't enforce any feeLimits at all (by setting feeLimit to maxValue)
In this commit, we modify the recent refactoring of the mission control
sub-system to overload the existing payment session, rather than create
a brand new one. This allows us to re-use more of the existing logic, and
also feedback into mission control the failures incurred by any user
selected routes.
In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.
In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.
The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.
This commit alters the neutrino chainview such that it
caches the filter entries corresponding to watched
outpoints at the moment they are added to the filter.
Previously, we would rederive each filter entry when
reconstructing the relevant filter entries, which
would lead to unnecessary work on the gc. Now, each is
created at most once, and reused across subsequent
reconstructions.
Adds a new error ErrVBarrierShuttingDown that is returned
from WaitForDependants if the validation barrier's quit
chan is closed. This allows any blocked goroutines to
distinguish whether the dependent task has been completed,
or if validation should be aborted entirely.
This commit improves the shutdown of the router's
pending validation tasks, by ensuring the pending
tasks exit early if the validation barrier
receives a shutdown request.
Currently, any goroutines blocked by WaitForDependants
will continue execution after a shutdown is signaled.
This may lead to unnexpected behavior as the relation
between updates is no longer upheld. It also has the
side effect of slowing down shutdown, since we
continue to process the remaining updates.
To remedy this, WaitForDependants now returns an error
that signals if a shutdown was requested. The blocked
goroutines can exit early upon seeing this error,
without also signaling completion of their task to
the dependent tasks, which should will now properly
wait to read the validation barrier's quit signal.
In this commit, we update the TestSendPaymentErrorPathPruning test to
reflect the new behavior w.r.t how we respond to UnknownPeer errors. In
this new test, we expect that we'll find alternative route in light of
us getting an UnknownPeer error "pointing" to our destination node.
In this commit we fix an lingering bug in the Mission Control logic we
execute in response to the FailUnknownNextPeer error. Historically, we
would treat this as the _next_ node not being online. As a result, we
would then prune away the vertex from the current reachable graph all
together. It was recently realized, that this would at times be a bit
_tooo_ aggressive if the channel we attempt to route over was faulty,
down, or the incoming node had connectivity issues with the outgoing
node.
In light of this realization, we'll now instead only prune the _edge_
that we attempted to route over. This ensures that we'll continue to
explore the possible edges. Additionally, this guards us against failure
modes where nodes report FailUnknownNextPeer to other nodes in an
attempt to more closely control our retry logic.
This change is a stop gap on the path to a more intelligent set of
autopilot heuristics.
Fixes#1114.
In this commit, we modify our path finding algorithm to take an
additional set of edges that are currently not known to us that are
used to temporarily extend our graph with during a payment session.
These edges should assist the sender of a payment in successfully
constructing a path to the destination.
These edges should usually represent private channels, as they are not
publicly advertised to the network for routing.
In this commit, we introduce the ability for payment sessions to store
an additional set of edges that can be used to assist a payment in
successfully reaching its destination.
In this commit, we add a new field of routing hints to payments over the
Lightning Network. These routing hints can later be used within the path
finding algorithm in order to craft a path that will reach the
destination succesfully.
