This addresses a panic when a notification is canceled after its been
detected as included in a block and before its confirmation notification
is dispatched.
This commit introduces an optimization for the chain scanning
used in historical confirmations notifications.
It now uses batch request instead of requesting filters one by one.
Earlier GetCFilter could return a nil-error along with a nil-filter in
cases where we failed to fetch the filter. We would just ignore the
block causing us to miss potential crucial information.
Now that GetCFilter will return an error in cases where the fetch
failed, the filter will never be nil (even for blocks with only coinbase
transactions), and we'll instead return an error.
We also increase the number of retries for the filter from the default 2
to 5.
We would establish the connection to the chain backend and start getting
block notifications before we had started the concurrent queues, which
would lead to the OnBlockConnected call being blocked, and a deadlock
(since GetBestBlock would never return).
Instead we make sure to start the queues before establishing the
connection, consuming the notifications right away.
In this commit, we lower the mempool spend check timeout to be twice as
long as the trickle interval of the miner node, which will greatly
improve the execution time of this specific test. We're able to do this
now since we can specify custom trickle intervals for our test
harnesses.
This prevents a deadlock while tearing down the TxNotifier if it's
currently blocked delivering a notification. By closing the quit chan
first, we ensure blocked sends/reads can exit and allow the TxNotifier
to proceed tearing down.
A height hint not being set would cause lnd to scan for the
confirmation/spend of a txid/outpoint/address from genesis.
The number of confirmations not being set within a confirmation request
would cause the internal TxNotifier to deadlock when dispatching
updates.
Since GetUtxo is a potentially long running call, we would see
RegisterSpendNtfn block in some cases, in particular on starting the
chain watcher, causing lnd to hang on startup.
This commit makes the call to GetUtxo in a go routine, letting
RegisterSpendNtfn return immediately when the notification events are
created.
This commit fixes a bug that would cause the
notifier not to commit spend hints for items
that are not found. This is done by calling
UpdateSpendDetails with a nil detail, permitting
the notifier to begin updating the spend hints
with new blocks that arrive at tip. The change
is designed to mimic the behavior for historical
confirmation dispatch.
The symptom of this bug is needing to do many
long rescans on startup, even if new blocks
arrive after the rescan had completed. With
this change, nodes will have to do the scans
once more before their hints will be properly
updated. Restarts from then on should not
have this behavior.
In this commit, we update the build to point to the latest version of
neutrino and btcwallet. The latest version of neutrino includes a number
of bug fixes, and new features like reliably transaction broadcast. The
latest version of btcwallet contains a number of bug fixes related to
properly remove invalid transactions from its database.
In this commit, we modify the main interface-level tests for neutrino to
skip the block catch up re-org test. We do this, as the test itself is
very unstable and only passes occasionally by the grace of RNGesus.
What's needed to ensure it passes reliably is to extend neutrino with a
cache of the last N blocks disconnected. Sample output of the affected
test when run:
```
--- SKIP: TestInterfaces/neutrino_test_catch_up_on_missed_blocks_w/_reorged_best_block (0.00s)
interface_test.go:1574: skipping re-org test for neutrino
```
