This commit adds a missing return to the resolveContract method, that
will ensure the goroutine exits if the ChannelArbitrator shuts down.
This fixes a potential deadlock during the integration tests.
We also promote some of the logs to Debug from Trace.
In this commit, we fix a long standing bug where at times a co-op
channel closure wouldn't be properly marked as fully closed in the
database. The culprit was a re-occurring code flaw we've seen many times
in the codebase: a closure variable that closes over a loop iterator
variable. Before this instance, I assumed that this could only pop up
when goroutines bind to the loop iterator within a closure. However,
this instance is the exact same issue, but within a regular closure that
has _delayed_ execution. As the closure doesn't execute until long after
the loop has finished executing, it may still be holding onto the _last_
item the loop iterator variable was assigned to.
The fix for this issue is very simple: re-assign the channel point
before creating the closure. Without this fix, we would go to call
db.MarkChanFullyClosed on a channel that may not have yet actually be in
the pending close state, causing all executions to fail.

This commit renames ForceCloseSummary to LocalForceCloseSummary, and
adds a new method NewLocalForceCloseSummary that can be used to derive a
LocalForceCloseSummary if our commitment transaction gets confirmed
in-chain. It is meant to accompany the NewUnilateralCloseSummary method,
which is used for the same purpose in the event of a remote commitment
being seen in-chain.
This commit mitigates a problem within the ChannelArbitrator, where
after a restart we would start up in the state StateBroadcastCommit but
fail to broadcast out commitment because a conflicting transaction (most
likely our own commitment) was already broadcast. A more complete fix
for this case will be added later, but this commit let the
ChannelArbitrator continue, trying to close out the channel.
In this commit, we fix an existing grouting leak within the contract
court package. If a goroutine dies, but it doesn’t actually cancel the
block epoch notification that it requested, then it’s possible to leak
thousands of gorutines. To remedy this situation, we ensure that we’ll
*always* cancel the epoch notification once the goroutine has exited.
In this commit, we fix an existing flake on Travis related to the new
set of on-chain HTLC tests. In this timing flake, Bob would broadcast
his sweeping transaction, but *mid block mining*. As a result, the
output would never be properly swept, needing an additional block to be
mined. We’ll now wait for both Bob’s sweeping transaction, and Carol’s
sweep transaction to be confirmed before we attempt our assertions.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug in the implementation of the
resolution of the htlcOutgoingContestResolver. Before this commit, we
would _always_ watch the claim outpoint. However, if this is on the
remote party’s commitment transaction, then we would end up watching
the wrong output. We’ll now properly detect this by modifying which
output we watch, based on if we have a second level transaction or not.
In this commit, we add 6 new integration tests to test the various
actions that may need to be performed when either side goes on-chain to
fully resolve HTLC’s. Many of the tests are mirrors of each other as
they test sweeping/resolving HTLC’s from both commitment transactions.
In this commit, we modify the way that notifications are dispatched
within the chainWatcher. Before we would *always* wait for an ack back
before we started to clean up he database state. This would at times
lead to deadlocks. To remedy this, we now allow callers to decide if
they want notifications to be sync or not. The only current caller that
requires this is the breach arbiter.
In this commit, we modify the interaction between the chanCloser
sub-system and the chain notifier all together. This fixes a series of
bugs as before this commit, we wouldn’t be able to detect if the remote
party actually broadcasted *any* of the transactions that we signed off
upon. This would be rejected to the user by having a “zombie” channel
close that would never actually be resolved.
Rather than the chanCloser watching for on-chain closes, we’ll now open
up a co-op close context to the chainWatcher (via a layer of
indirection via the ChainArbitrator), and report to it all possible
closes that we’ve signed. The chainWatcher will then be able to launch
a goroutine to properly update the database state once any of the
possible closure transactions confirms.
In this commit, we add the IsOurAddress field into the config of the
chain arb. With this new function closure, the chain arb is able to
detect co-op on chain closes automatically.
In this commit, we extend the chainWatcher to be able to automatically
detect co-op closes of the channel. With this change, it’s now fully
encompassed so able to detect all types of closes on-chain. We detect a
co-op close due to the sequence number being finalized, as well as
paying to us directly in a regular p2wkh-like output.
In this commit, we add a new method to allow external sub-systems to
gain an intent to receive notifications once an on-chain event happens.
This will be used in place of the old channel signals directly on the
channel state machine object in a series of follow up commits.
In this commit, we modify the construction of the channel arbitrator to
accept a pointer to an event stream from the chain watcher that’s been
assigned to that channel. As a result, we no longer need a fresh
unilateral close signal, as the one we get from the chain watcher will
*always* be up to date.
For each active channel, we’ll now create a chainWatcher instance that
will be around until the channel is fully closed on chain.
In this commit, we add a new struct to the package, the chainWatcher.
The duty of this struct is to replace the functionality that was
previously implemented by the closeObserver of each channel. Rather
than the source of notification being tied to the lifetime of a
particular object, it’s now delegated to a persistent object that will
be around for the entire lifetime of the channel (until it’s closed).
This will serve to greatly simplify the code, and eliminate a large
class of bugs.
In this commit, we add the ChainArbitrator struct. The ChainArbitrator
is a special sub-system that will oversee the on-chain resolution of
all active channels, and also channels that are in the pending close
state. The ChainArbitrator maintains a set of ChannelArbitrators, one
for each channel that hasn’t yet been fully resolved.
Outside sub-systems should send new channels to the arbitrator once
they’ve opened. Additionally, they can also trigger manual
interventions to close out a channel on chain forcibly, or just to
signal that a channel has been closed cooperatively.
Finally, (for now) the ChainArbitrator should be notified once a fresh
set of signals for a channel becomes available. The ChannelArbitrator
for the channel will use these set of signals to be notified when an
on-chain event happens.
In this commit, we introduce a new interface, the ContractResolver. The
duty of a ContractResolver is to watch a contract on-chain, for all
possible transitions, and exit finally when the contract has been fully
resolved. Resolvers themselves can be recursive: meaning producing
another resolver to hand off the duties require to fully resolve a
contract.
Each resolver also has a ResolverKit which contains all the function
closures and interfaces that the resolver need to properly do its job.
The 5 types of resolvers are:
* outgoing HTLC timeout
* outgoing HTLC contested
* incoming HTLC know presage
* incoming HTLC contested (don’t yet know)
* commitment sweep
In the future, more advanced resolver types can be added as required.
In this commit, we add a new file: briefcase.go. The contents of this
file are the ArbitratorLog. This log will be used by the internal state
machine of each Channel Arbitrator to ensure that each state transition
is fully reflected on-disk, to ensure that the state machine is durable
and able to survive restarts.
This commit also adds a new implementation of the ArbitratorLog
interface backed by boltdb.
In this commit, we add the primary struct of the package with a full
implementation. The duty of the ChannelArbitrator is to watch the set
of active contracts on a comment transaction and act accordingly if any
of their redemption criteria have been met. Potential criteria include:
an HTLC about to time out, and HTLC about to time out that we know the
preiamge to, or the remote party going to chain (forcing us to resolve
all pending contracts on chain).
The primary goroutine of this struct implements a persistent state
machine in order to ensure that mid contract resolution, we’re able to
properly survive restarts without losing our place, or forgetting about
a pending contract.
A ChannelArbitrator will stay alive until all contracts have been fully
resolved. This means that outside sub-systems no longer need to worry
about remembering to mark a channel as fully resolved, as it’s the job
of the ChannelArbitrator to do this task.
