This commit changes the logic when garbage collecting forwarding
packages such that they are removed once when the function is called,
and then again upon subsequent ticks. This allows us to bump the
peer timer to 1 hour to limit the number of db transactions happening
in lnd. The forwarding packages need to be removed initially as
otherwise a flappy node will never have them garbage collected.
This commit moves all localized instances of mock implementations of
the Signer interface to the lntest/mock package. This allows us to
remove a lot of code and have it housed under a single interface in
many cases.
In this commit we implement a wrapper arround the switch, called
InterceptableSwitch. This kind of wrapper behaves like a proxy which
intercepts forwarded packets and allows an external interceptor to
signal if it is interested to hold this forward and resolve it
manually later or let the switch execute its default behavior.
This infrastructure allows the RPC layer to expose interceptor
registration API to the user and by that enable the implementation
of custom routing behavior.
As part of the preparation to the switch interceptor feature, this
function is changed to return error instead of error channel that
is closed automatically.
Returning an error channel has become complex to maintain and
implement when adding more asynchronous flows to the switch.
The change doesn't affect the current behavior which logs the
errors as before.
Previously it wasn't possible to store a preimage in the invoice
database and signal that a payment should not be settled right away. The
only way to hold a payment was to insert the magic UnknownPreimage value
in the invoice database. This commit introduces a distinct flag to
signal that an invoice is a hold invoice and thereby allows the preimage
to be present in the database already.
Preparation for (key send) hodl invoices for which we already know the
preimage.
The btcsuite/fastsha256 registers itself in the crypto package of
golang as a replacement for sha256. This causes problems in TLS1.3
connections that require the hash implementations to be serializable
and results in the "tls: internal error: failed to clone hash" error.
By removing all uses of the library we fix that error.
This commit extends the link with a new synchronous delivery point for
local UpdateAddHTLC messages. The switch method SendHTLC is updated to
use this delivery point and thereby becomes a synchronous call.
For MPP payments, synchronous hand-off is important. Otherwise the next
pathfinding round could start without the channel balance updated yet.
Modifies some of the older mailbox tests that were left untouched as of
PR #4174 to use the new mailbox test context. This ensures that the
config members of each mailbox's config are properly initialized. In
certain instances where travis is slow, this would cause test panics.
This commit adds a PendingCommitTicker to the link config, which allows
us to control how quickly we fail the link if the commitment dance
stalls. Now that the mailbox has the ability to cancel packets, when the
link fails it will reset the mailbox packets on exit, forcing a
reevaluation of the HTLCs against their mailbox expiries.
Now that packet failure is handled by the mailbox, we can now enforce
a delivery deadline and fail the packet if it the deadilne is exceeded.
This gives senders quicker feedback about tried routes, and allows them
to try alternative paths to the destination in the meantime.
This commit splits the packet courier internally into two distinct
queues, one for adds and one for settles+fails. This allows us to
prioritize HTLCs that will clear the commitment transaction and make
space for adds. Previously this responsibility was handled by the
overflow queue.
