In this commit, we thread through a link's quit channel into
routeAsync, the primary helper method allowing links to send
htlcPackets through the switch. This is intended to remove
deadlocks from happening, where the link is synchronously
blocking on forwarding packets to the switch, but also
needs to shutdown.
This commit adds a test that verifies Stop does not block
if the link is concurrently forwarding incoming Adds to
the switch. This test fails prior to the commits that
thread through the link's quit channel.
This resolves the situation where a notifier's chain backend skips a series of blocks, causing the notifier to need to dispatch historical block notifications to clients.
Additionally, if the current notifier's best block has been reorged out, this logic enables the notifier to rewind to the common ancestor between the current chain and the outdated best block and dispatches notifications from the ancestor.
This prevents the situation where we notify clients about a newly connected block, and then the block connection itself fails. We also want to set our best block in between connecting the block and notifying clients, in case a client makes queries about the new block they have received.
If the chain backend misses telling the notifier about a series of disconnected blocks, the notifier is now able to disconnect the tip to its new best block.
If a client passes in their best known block when registering for block notifications, check to see if it's behind our best block. If so, dispatch the missed block notifications to the client.
This is necessary because clients that persist their best known block can miss new blocks while registering for notifications.
Clients can optionally pass their best block known into RegisterBlockEpochNtfn. This enables the notifiers to catch up clients on blocks they may have missed.
In this commit, we fix a bug recently introduced where we would
construct the parameters required to connect to a bitcoind backend, but
never actually started the connection.
In this commit, we add a new method to the ChannelEdgeInfo that will
allow the path finding logic to get the node opposite the pivot node
without first creating a new db transaction. The new method is able to
use an existing db transaction, or create a new one if needed.
The commit ensures that for every channel, there will always
be two entries in the edges bucket. If the policy from one or
both ends of the channel is unknown, it is marked as such.
This allows efficient lookup of incoming edges. This is
required for backwards payment path finding.
In this commit, we explicitly convert sat/vbyte fee rates input by the
user to sat/kw. We do this as users are typically more accustomed to
sat/vbyte fee rates, rather than sat/kw.
Due to a recent change within the codebase to return estimated fee rates
in sat/kw, this commit ensures that we use this fee rate properly by
calculing a transaction's fees using its weight. This includes all of
the different transactions that are created within lnd (funding, sweeps,
etc.). On-chain transactions still rely on a sat/vbyte fee rate since it's
required by btcwallet.
