This commit modifies the internal workflow for opening or closing a
channel in order to create a path in which RPC clients can receive
updates. Updates are now communicated via channels from the goroutines
spawned by the RPC server to process the request, and the sub-system
within the daemon that actually executes the request.
With this change clients can now receive updates that the request is
pending (final message has been sent to the target client), or that the
request has been completed. Confirmation related updates have not yet
been implemented as that will require some changes to the ChainNotifier
interface.
This commit integrates BitFury's current routing functionality into lnd. The
primary ochestration point for the routing sub-system in the routingMgr. The
routingMgr manages all persistent and volatile state related to routing within
the network.
Newly opened channels, either when the initiator or responder are inserted into
the routing table once the channel is fully open. Once new links are inserted
the routingMgr can then perform path selection in order to locate an "optimal"
path to a target destination.
This commit adds a basic test for cooperative channel closure. The
current test ensures correctness of the cooperative closure procedure
initiated by either the channel initiator, or the channel responder.
This commit introduces the invoice registry which is a central
repository of all outstanding invoices related to the daemon.
This registry will be used by the goroutines which manage the htlc’s
for a particular channel, and later by the point-to-point workflow
which negotiates the conditions for payment along with signed recipes.
This commit switches the implementation of the open/close channel RPC’s
from a fully blocking synchronous model to one that’s async by default,
allowing callers to add a sync wrapper.
The new proto specs also allow for “updates” for the pending channels
in the form of new confirmations which progress the pending status of
the channel. At this point, only the final open/close updates have been
implemented. Obtaining confirmation notifications requires a bit of
re-working within the current ChainNotifier interface, thus this has
been deferred to a later time.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
This commit adds some cursory documentation along wit minor field
modifications to all messages which deal with adding HTLC’s, or
updating remote commitment transactions.
The messages for dual funding of channel is left purposefully
undocumented as all initial negotiations will be single funder by
default.
A revamp of the testing infrastructure of lnwire will be committed in
the near future.
