In this commit, we fix a bug introduced with the recent bug fix for SCB
state+fail combination. On windwos a rename operation will fail is the
fail one is attempting to rename is still open. Therefore we need to
close the file after we read the contents, to ensure the follow up
rename operations once the channel state changes will succeed. We do
this by using `ioutil.ReadFile`, which will always clsoe the file after
reading.
Fixes#4450.
In this commit, we add an additional defense against starting up with an
invalid SCB state. With this commit, we'll now fail to start up if we're
unable to update or read the existing SCB state from disk. This will
prevent an lnd node from starting up with an invalid SCB file, an SCB
file it can't decrypt, or an SCB left over from another node.
In this commit, we fix a bug that could possibly cause a user's on disk
back up file to be wiped out, if they ever started _another_ lnd node
with different channel state. To remedy this, before we swap out the
channel state with what's on disk, we'll first read out the contents of
the on-disk SCB file and _combine_ that with what we have in memory.
Fixes#4377
In this commit, we convert the existing `channeldb.ChannelType` type
into a _bit field_. This doesn't require us to change the current
serialization or interpretation or the type as it is, since all the
current defined values us a distinct bit. This PR lays the ground work
for any future changes that may introduce new channel types (like anchor
outputs), and also any changes that may modify the existing invariants
around channels (if we're the initiator, we always have the funding
transaction).
In this commit, we create a new Single version for channels that use the
tweakless commitment scheme. When recovering from an SCB into an open
channel shell, we'll now check this field and use it to determine the
proper channel type. Otherwise, we may attempt to sweep the on chain
funds using the commitment point, when it goes directly to our key, or
the other way around.
It has been reported that on Windows, the current file swap process
doesn't properly work since we still have the file open when we try to
rename it. In order to fix this, we'll now close the file _before_ we
rename it.
In this commit, we extend the prior Single format to include the entire
channel config, other than the constraints, but including the CSV delay
for both sides. We do this as we'll need more of the keying information
in order to properly execute the DLP protocol. Additionally, in the
future, if warranted, this would allow channels to be resumed if deemed
safe.
In this commit, we modify the sub-swapper to update the set of backups
files time it's tarted. We do this to ensure that each time we start,
we're up to sync with the current set of open channels. This also ensure
that we'll create a new back up file if this is the first time we're
starting up with this new feature.
In this commit, we introduce the chanbackup.SubSwapper interface. It
takes a regular Swapper implementation (defined by the
chanbackup.SubSwapper) interface along with a chanbackup.ChannelNotifier
implementation. Given these two interfaces, we're able to be notified
when a new channel is opened or closed, and then use the Swapper to
atomically replace the on-disk channel back up. As a result, a Lightning
daemon can ensure that they alwayts have a up to date channels.backup on
disk that can safely be copied away by users and be used to restore
channel funds in the event of partial/total data loss.
In this commit, we add a new MultiFile struct. We'll use this struct in
store the latest multi-channel backup on disk, swap it out atomically,
and finally extract+unpack the contents of the multi-file. The format
that's written to disk is the same as a regular Packed multi. The
contents of this new file are meant to be used to safely implement an
always up to date multi file on disk as a way for users to easily rsync
or fsnotiy (when it changes) the backup state of their channels.
We implement an atomic update and swap in the UpdateAndSwap. The method
uses relies on the underlying file system supporting an atomic rename
syscall. We first make a temporary backup file, write the latest
contents to that, then swap the temp file with the main file using
rename(2). This way, we ensure that we always have a single up to date
file, if the protocol aborts before the rename, then we can detect this,
remove the temp file, and attempt another swap.
In this commit, we add a series of functions that will allow users to
recover existing channel backups. We do this using two primary
interfaces: the ChannelRestorer, and the PeerConnector. The first
interfaces allows us to abstract away the details w.r.t exactly how a
channel is restored. Instead, we simply expect that the channel backup
will be inserted as a sort of "channel shell" which contains only the
data required to initiate the data loss protection protocol. The second
interface is how we instruct the Lightning node to connect out to the
channel peer given its known addresses.
In this commit, we introduce a series of interfaces and methods that
will allow external callers to backup either all channels, or a specific
channel identified by its channel point. In order to abstract away the
details w.r.t _how_ we obtain the set of open channels, or their storage
mechanisms, we introduce a new LiveChannelSource interfaces. This
interfaces allows us to fetch all channels, a channel by its channel
point, and also all the known addresses for a node as we'll need this in
order to connect out to the node in the case of a recovery attempt.
In this commit, we introduce the Multi sturct. Multi is a series of
static channel backups. This type of backup can contains ALL the channel
backup state in a single packed blob. This is suitable for storing on
your file system, cloud storage, etc. Systems will be in place within
lnd to ensure that one can easily obtain the latest version of the Multi
for the node, and also that it will be kept up to date if channel state
changes.
In this commit, we add the initial implementation of the SCB structure.
Given an SCB, and a user's seed, it will be possible to recover the
settled balanced of a channel in the event of total or partial data
loss. The SCB contains all information required to initiate the data
loss protection protocol once we restore the channel and connect to the
remote channel peer.
The primary way outside callers will interact with this package are via
the Pack and Unpack methods. Packing means writing a
serialized+encrypted version of the SCB to an io.Writer. Unpacking does
the opposite.
The encoding format itself uses the same encoding as we do on the wire
within Lightning. Each encoded backup begins with a version so we can
easily add or modify the serialization format in the future, if new
channel types appear, or we need to add/remove fields.
In this commit, we implement a series of new crypto operations that will
allow us to encrypt and decrypt a set of serialized channel backups.
Their various backups may have distinct encodings when serialized, but
to the functions defined in this file, we treat them as simple opaque
blobs.
For encryption, we utilize chacha20poly1305 with a random 24 byte nonce.
We use a larger nonce size as this can be safely generated via a CSPRNG
without fear of frequency collisions between nonces generated. To
encrypt a blob, we then use this nonce as the AD (associated data) and
prepend the nonce to the front of the ciphertext package.
For key generation, in order to ensure the user only needs their
passphrase and the backup file, we utilize the existing keychain to
derive a private key. In order to ensure that at we don't force any
hardware signer to be aware of our crypto operations, we instead opt to
utilize a public key that will be hashed to derive our private key. The
assumption here is that this key will only be exposed to this software,
and never derived as a public facing address.
