This commit modifies the behavior of the
HasActiveLink method within the switch to
only return true if the link is in the
link index and is eligible to forward
HTLCs.
The prior version returns true whenever
the link is found in the link index,
which may return true for pending
channels that are not actually active.
This commit adds conversion between the lnwire.UpdateFee message and the
new FeeUpdate PaymentDescriptor. We re-purpose the existing Amount field
in the PaymentDescriptor stuct to hold the feerate.
This commit moves the logic handling responses to
locally-initiated payments to be asynchronous. The
reordering of operations into handleLocalDispatch
brings a serious performance burden to the switch's
main event loop. However, the at-most once semantics
of circuit map and idempotency of cleanup methods
allows concurrent operations to run in parallel.
Prior to this commit, the async_payments_benchmark
would timeout due to the forcibly serial nature of
the prior design. With this change, there is no
perceptible difference in the benchmark OMM, even
though we've added two extra db calls.
In this commit, we address an issue that could arise when using the
SendToRoute RPC. In this RPC, we specify the exact hops that a payment
should take. However, within the switch, we would set a constraint for
the first hop to be any hop as long as the first peer was at the end of
it. This would cause discrepancies when attempting to use the RPC as the
payment would actually go through another hop with the same peer. We fix
this by explicitly specifying the channel ID of the first hop.
Fixes#1500.
Fixes#1515.
In this commit, we thread through a link's quit channel into
routeAsync, the primary helper method allowing links to send
htlcPackets through the switch. This is intended to remove
deadlocks from happening, where the link is synchronously
blocking on forwarding packets to the switch, but also
needs to shutdown.
In this commit, we modify the removeLink method to be more asynchronous.
Before this commit, we would attempt to block until the peer exits.
However, it may be the case that at times time, then target link is
attempting to forward a batch of packets to the switch (forwardBatch).
Atm, this method doesn't pass in an external context/quit, so we can't
cancel this message/request. As a result, we'll now ensure that
`removeLink` doesn't block, so we can resume the switch's main loop as
soon as possible.
In this commit, we move the block height dependency from the links in
the switch to the switch itself. This is possible due to a recent change
on the links no longer depending on the block height to update their
commitment fees.
We'll now only have the switch be alerted of new blocks coming in and
links will retrieve the height from it atomically.
In this commit, we fix a bug in the way we handle removing items from
the interfaceIndex. Before this commit, we would delete all items items
with the target public key that of the peer that owns the link being
removed. However, this is incorrect as the peer may have other links
sill active.
In this commit, we fix this by first only deleting the link from the
peer's index, and then checking to see if the index is empty after this
deletion. Only if so do we delete the index for the peer all together.
In this commit, we modify the interfaceIndex to no longer key the second
level of the index by the ChannelLink. Instead, we'll use the chan ID as
it's a stable identifier, unlike a reference to an interface.
In this commit, we fix an existing source of a panic, that could at
times lead to a deadlock. If the circuit returned from closeCircuit
didn't have an outgoing key (as it was an incomplete forward), then we
would attempt to de-ref a nil pointer. This would trigger a panic, and
the runtime would start to unwind the stack, and execute each defer in
line. A deadlock can arise here, as in the defer at the root goroutine,
we need to grab the fwdingEventMtx. However, we already have it at the
panic site.
We fix this issue by ensuring we only attempt to add the event if it's a
_settle_ and also actually has an outgoing circuit (which it should
already, just a defensive check).
In this commit, we ensure that any time we send a TempChannelFailure
that's destined for a multi-hop source sender, then we'll always package
the latest channel update along with it.
In this commit, we update the testUpdateChannelPolicy to exercise the
recent set of changes within the switch. If one applies this test to a
fresh branch (without those new changes) it should fail. This is due to
the fact that before, Bob would attempt to apply the constraints of the
incoming link (which we updated) instead of the outgoing link. With the
recent set of changes, the test now properly passes.
In this commit, we simplify the switch's code a bit. Rather than having
a set of channels we use to mutate or query for the set of current
links, we'll instead now just use a mutex to guard a set of link
indexes. This serves to simplify the ode, and also make it such that we
don't need to block forwarding in order to add/remove a link.
In this commit, we fix a very old, lingering bug within the link. When
accepting an HTLC we are meant to validate the fee against the
constraints of the *outgoing* link. This is due to the fact that we're
offering a payment transit service on our outgoing link. Before this
commit, we would use the policies of the *incoming* link. This would at
times lead to odd routing errors as we would go to route, get an error
update and then route again, repeating the process.
With this commit, we'll properly use the incoming link for timelock
related constraints, and the outgoing link for fee related constraints.
We do this by introducing a new HtlcSatisfiesPolicy method in the link.
This method should return a non-nil error if the link can carry the HTLC
as it satisfies its current forwarding policy. We'll use this method now
at *forwarding* time to ensure that we only forward to links that
actually accept the policy. This fixes a number of bugs that existed
before that could result in a link accepting an HTLC that actually
violated its policy. In the case that the policy is violated for *all*
links, we take care to return the error returned by the *target* link so
the caller can update their sending accordingly.
In this commit, we also remove the prior linkControl channel in the
channelLink. Instead, of sending a message to update the internal link
policy, we'll use a mutex in place. This simplifies the code, and also
adds some necessary refactoring in anticipation of the next follow up
commit.
