Instead of having SendToRoute pull routes from the payment session in
the payment lifecycle, we utilize the new methods on the paymentShard to
launch and collect the result for this single route.
This also let us remove the check for noRouteError, as we will always
have the result from the tried attempt returned. A result of this is
that we can finally remove lastError from the payment lifecycle (see
next commits).
Fetching the final shard result will also be done for calls to
SendToRoute, so we extract this code into a new method.
We move the call to the ControlTower to set the payment level failure
out into the payment loop, as this must be handled differently when
multiple shards are in flight, and for SendToRoute.
Define shardHandler which is a struct holding what is needed to send
attempts along given routes. The reason we define the logic on this
struct instead of the paymentLifecycle is that we later will make
SendToRoute calls not go through the payment lifecycle, but only using
this struct.
The launch shard is responsible for registering the attempt with the
control tower, failing it if the launch fails. Note that it is NOT
responsible for marking the _payment_ failed in case a terminal error is
encountered. This is important since we will later reuse this method for
SendToRoute, where whether to fail the payment cannot be decided on the
shard level.
We replace the cached attempt, and instead use the control tower
(database) to fetch any in-flight attempt. This is done as a
preparation for having multiple attempts in flight.
In addition we remove the cached circuit, as it won't be applicable when
multiple shards are in flight.
Instead of tracking the attemp we consult the database on every
iteration, and pick up any existing attempt. This also let us avoid
having to pass in the existing attempts from the payment loop, as we
just fetch them direclty.
This method is used to fetch a payment and all HTLC attempt that have
been made for that payment. It will both be used to resume inflight
attempts, and to fetch the final outcome of previous attempts.
We also update the the mock control tower to mimic the real control
tower, by letting it track multiple HTLC attempts for a given payment
hash, laying the groundwork for later enabling it for MPP.
The test case's preimage was (mistakenly) overwritten after crafting the
lightning payment, causing the parts of the testcases use the same
preimage causing problems when we are using the payment hash and
preimage in the mock control tower to distinguish paymennts.
In our quest to move calls to the ControlTower into the main payment
lifecycle loop, we move the edge case of a too long route out of
createNewPaymentAttempt.
loop
To prepare for multiple in flight payment attempts, we move
checkpointing the payment attempt out of createNewPaymentAttempt and
into the main payment lifecycle loop.
We'll attempt to move all calls to the DB via the ControlTower into this
loop, so we can more easily handle them in sequence.
active shards
In preparation for doing pathfinding for routes sending a value less
than the total payment amount, we let the payment session take the max
amount to send and the fee limit as arguments to RequestRoute.
This commit moves supplying of the information in the LightningPayment
to the initialization of the paymentSession, away from every call to
RequestRoute.
Instead the paymentSession will store this information internally, as it
doesn't change between payment attempts.
This is done to rid the RequestRoute call of the LightingPayment
argument, as for SendToRoute calls, it is not needed to supply the next
route.
This commit extends the htlc fail info with the full failure reason that
was received over the wire. In a later commit, this info will also be
exposed on the rpc interface. Furthermore it serves as a building block
to make SendToRoute reliable across restarts.
This commit converts the database structure of a payment so that it can
not just store the last htlc attempt, but all attempts that have been
made. This is a preparation for mpp sending.
In addition to that, we now also persist the fail time of an htlc. In a
later commit, the full failure reason will be added as well.
A key change is made to the control tower interface. Previously the
control tower wasn't aware of individual htlc outcomes. The payment
remained in-flight with the latest attempt recorded, but an outcome was
only set when the payment finished. With this commit, the outcome of
every htlc is expected by the control tower and recorded in the
database.

To better distinguish payments from HTLCs, we rename the attempt info
struct to HTLCAttemptInfo. We also embed it into the HTLCAttempt struct,
to avoid having to duplicate this information.
The paymentID term is renamed to attemptID.
Adds an integrated routing test of probability extrapolation for untried
channels. The larger part of this commit is mock code to simulate the
Lightning Network.
The difference between this test and the existing pathfinding tests, is that
this test focuses on the feedback loop from result interpretation via
mission control updates and probability estimation back to pathfinding.
Improvements like probability extrapolation were previously only
validated by reasoning, while this setup makes it possible to assert the
improvement in a test and guard it for the future.
Previously we only penalized the outgoing connections of a failing node.
This turned out not to be sufficient, because the next route sometimes
went into the same failing node again to try a different outgoing
connection that wasn't yet known to mission control and therefore not
penalized before.
This shortcut does not work when the destination is a private node. We
also don't have this shortcut for regular payments. This commit
aligns the behavior between SendPayment and QueryRoutes.
The default was increased for the main sendpayment RPC in commit
d3fa9767a9729756bab9b4a1121344b265410b1a. This commit sets the
same default for QueryRoutes, routerrpc.SendPayment and
router.EstimateRouteFee.
Update the type check used for checking local payment
failures to check on the ClearTextError interface rather
than on the ForwardingError type. This change prepares
for splitting payment errors up into Link and Forwarding
errors.
This commit adds a ClearTextError interface
which is implemented by non-opaque errors that
we know the underlying wire failure message for.
This interface is implemented by ForwardingErrors,
because we can fully decrypt the onion blob to
obtain the underlying failure reason. This interface
will also be implemented by errors which originate
at our node in following commits, because we know
the failure reason when we fail the htlc.
The lnwire interface is un-embedded in the
ForwardingError struct in favour of implementing
this interface. This change is made to protect
against accidental passing of a ForwardingError
to the wire, where the embedded FailureMessage
interface will present as wire failure but
will not serialize properly.
Add a constructor for the creation of forwarding errors.
A special constructor is added for the case where we have
an unknown wire failure, and must set a nil failure message.
Modifies TestMissingFeatureDep and TestDestPaymentAddr to use the test
ctx directly instead of generating a closure and using local state to
modify restrictions.
This commit brings us inline with recent modifications to the spec, that
say we shouldn't pay nodes whose feature vectors signal unknown required
features, and also that we shouldn't route through nodes signaling
unknown required features.
Currently we assert that invoices don't have such features during
decoding, but now that users can specify feature vectors via the rpc
interface, it makes sense to perform this check deeper in call stack.
This will also allow us to remove the check from decoding entirely,
making decodepayreq more useful for debugging.
In this commit, we update the routing package to use the new
`sphinx.NewOnionPacket` method. The new version of this method allows us
to specify _how_ the packet should be filled before it's used to create
a mix-header. This isn't a fundamental change (totally backwards
compatible), instead it plugs a privacy leak that may have revealed to
the destination how long the true route was.
This commit adds success mission control
results for all hops along the route in
a mpp timeout and takes no action for
the final hop along the route. This is a
temporary measure to prevent the default
logic from penalizing the final node while
we decide how to penalize mpp timeouts.
This commit adds a getResolutionFailure function
which returns an appropriate wire failure based
on the outcome of a htlc resolution. It also updates
the MissionControlStore test to ensure that lnd
can handle failures which occur due to mpp timeout.
