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.
Composes the new payment status helper methods such that
we only require one db txn per state transition. This
also allows us to remove the exclusive lock from the
control tower, and enable more concurrent requests.
This commit splits FetchPaymentStatus and
UpdatePaymentStatus, such that they each invoke
helper methods that can be composed into different
db txns. This enables us to improve performance on
send/receive, as we can remove the exclusive lock
from the control tower, and allow concurrent calls
to utilize Batch more effectively.
This commit loosens the fwdpkg reference acking to be more tolerant
of prior deletions. Specifically, we won't fail if certain channels
are not found or fwdpkgs do not exist. This will make us more
tolerant to future changes where we:
- remove fwdpkgs on channel close
- defensively cleanup stray responses
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 modify the readHandler w/in
the mock peer to drop messages if it is unable
to find the target link. This has led to observed
race conditions related to removing a link and still
attempting to deliver messages. By removing this,
the readHandler shouldn't fail the test as a result.
This commit increases the fwdpkg garbage collection
interval to 15s, to mitigate the likelihood of it
interfering with our unit tests related to fwdpkgs.
