In preparation for the added propagation delay by separating the miner
and the chain backend, we increase several timeouts throughout the test,
and extract them into constants that can easily be altered.
This commit passes the peer's quit signal to the
gossipSyncer when attempt to hand off gossip query
messages. This allows a rate-limited peer's read
handler to break out immediately, which would
otherwise remain stuck until the rate-limited
gossip syncer pulled the message.
This commit restructures the delivery of gossip
query related messages, such that they are delivered
directly to the gossip syncers. Gossip query rate
limiting was introduced in #1824 on a per-peer basis.
However, since all gossip query messages were being
delivered in the main event loop, the end result is
that one rate-limited peer could stall all other
peers.
In addition, since no other peers would be able to
submit gossip-related messages through the blocked
event loop, the back pressure would eventually rate
limit the read handlers of all peers as well.
The end result would be lengthy delays in reading
messages related to htlc forwarding.
The fix is to lift the delivery of gossip query
messages outside of the main event loop. With
this change, the rate limiting backpressure is
delivered only to the intended peer.
By passing a pubkey into SendToRoute, it becomes unnecessary for lnd to
query the channel graph to retrieve the hop pubkey. This allows routes
over private channels that are not present in the graph.
In this commit, we alter the different ChainNotifier implementations to
dispatch confirmation and spend notifications after blocks. We do this
to ensure the external consistency of our registered clients.
In this commit, we modify the TxNotifier's ConnectTip method to no
longer dispatch notifications to any clients who had a request fulfilled
within the height connected. Instead, it will queue the notifications
for dispatch and we add a new method NotifyHeight, which will actually
dispatch them. We do this to allow the users of the TxNotifier to be
more flexible when dispatching notifications.
In this commit, we modify the notifier to handle filter updates
synchronously. We do this to prevent race conditions between new block
notifications and filter updates. Otherwise, it's possible for a new
block to come in that should match our filter, but doesn't due to the
filter being updated after.
We also modify their order so that the filter is updated first. We do
this so we can immediately start watching for the event at tip while the
rescan is ongoing.
In this commit, we'll now commit the current height of the TxNotifier as
the height hint for an outpoint/transaction after a rescan has been
completed and has determined that the outpoint is unspent/transaction is
unconfirmed. We do this to prevent another potentially long rescan if
the daemon is restarted before a new block comes in (which is when the
hints will be updated again).
