This commit adds an backoff policy to the peer termination
watcher to avoid getting stuck in tight connection loops
with failing peers. The maximum backoff is now set to 128s,
and each backoff is randomized so that two instances using
the same algorithm have some hope of desynchronizing.
This commit adds the `lnnet` package which contains an
implementation of the newly created LightningNet interface which
multiplexes the Dial and DNS-related functions to use net
by default and torsvc if a flag is specified. This modularization
makes for cleaner code.
This commit adds a new interface named NetInterface and two
implementations of it: RegularNet & TorProxyNet. These two structs
are used in config.go in an attempt to clean up the code and
abstract away the dialer and DNS functions.
This commit adds a new module named 'torsvc' which houses all Tor
functionality in an attempt to isolate it and make it reusable in
other projecs. Some additional tweaks were made to config.go and
to the bootstrapper.
This commit adds Tor support. Users can set the --TorSocks flag
to specify which port Tor's SOCKS5 proxy is listening on so that
lnd can connect to it. When this flag is set, ALL traffic gets
routed over Tor including DNS traffic. Special functions for
DNS lookups were added, and since Tor doesn't natively support
SRV requests, the proxySRV function routes connects us to
a DNS server via Tor and SRV requests can be issued directly
to the DNS server.

A recent commit modified the mutex in the server to the read/write. In
order to further reduce contention, we’ll grab the read lock when we’re
examining get set of peers to ignore.
This commit aims to reduce the contention on the server's primary
mutex by (1) replacing it with a RWMutex, and (2) not holding an
exclusive lock throughout the duration of the SendToPeer method.
For the latter, we now only have to hold a shared lock until all
messages have been queued, where as before an exclusive lock
was held until all messages had been acknowledged by the target
peer's write handler. Since the initial syncing of announcements
with peer now comprises a couple thousand messages on testnet,
these changes should help keep the server from deadlocking while
completing and long-lived syncing operations.
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 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 modify the breach arbiter to no longer require
holding a channel object directly in order to receive new notifications
about possible breaches. Instead, we’ll contact the chain arbiter to
request a new channel event subscription.
As a result of the new architecture, we no longer need to receive a
handoff once the new channel comes online, as the chainWatcher will
always be active and watching the channel until it’s been closed.
Peers are treated as transient by default. When a peer is disconnected,
no attempt is made to reconnect. However, if we have a channel open
with a peer that peer will be added as persistent. If a persistent peer
becomes disconnected then we will attempt to reconnect.
This behavior implies that a fresh node - those without any channels -
will fall off the network over time as remote nodes restart or due to
connectivity changes. This change marks bootstrap peers as persistent
and ensures that the node remains connected to those specific peers over
time. This does not keep the node connected in the case that all
bootstrap peers are down.
Fixes#451.
In this commit, we modify the Broadcast to take a *set* of peers to
skip, rather than just a single peer. We make this modification as when
a new channel is discovered, it’s likely the case that we get the
announcement from several peers rather than a single peer. With this
change, we’ll ensure that the caller (who is aware of the set of
senders) is able to properly avoid wasting bandwidth by re-sending the
message to all peers that sent it to us originally.
This commit fixes a deadlock that could occur when
a peer disconnected during a call to sentToPeer. In
This particular case, a message would successfully
be queued, the peer would shutdown, and we would
block waiting for an error to be returned on the
message's error channel, which would deadlock.
This fixes that by also checking for peer shutdown.
This commit reorders logic in the peer termination
watcher such that we short circuit earlier if we
already have pending persistent connection requests.
Before, the debug statement may have indicated that
a reconnection was being attempted, even though it
may have exited before submitting the request to
the connection manager.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that would cause funding
transaction to be broadcast without any fees attached at all. This is
only an issue if the fee rate reported is extremely so, as can happen
on testnet. In this case, when we went to scale down to sat/weight, we
would return a value of zero due to integer division. If we went via
the EstimateFeePerWeight call directly, then it would've been detected.
However, we accept the fee/byte from the user directly on the command
line this wasn't being done.
To fix this, we'll now manually set the fee to a sane value, if it
returns a value that can't properly be scaled to fee/weight.
In this commit, we fix a bug that would cause the DNS seeds to be
*always* active regardless of which chain+network we were on. Before we
would look up the network in the reverseChainMap. However, if we were
on regtest or testate, then it would still (incorrectly) resolve to a
valid hash.
To remedy this, we now directly use the genesis hash of the current
active chain.
In this commit, we fix an existing issue that could at times cause an
inconsistent view between the set of total coins, and the set of segwit
coins in the wallet of the node. This could be caused by initiating a
funding flow, but then the funding negotiation breaking down somewhere
along the lines. In this case, us or the other peer will disconnect.
When we initiate funding flows, we lock coins exclusively, to ensure
that concurrent funding flows don’t end up double spending the same
coin. Before this commit, we wouldn’t ever unlock those coins. As a
result, our view of available coins would be skewed.
The walletbalance call would show all the coins, but when adding the
—witness_only flag, some coins would be missing, or gone all together.
This is because the former call actually scans the txstore and manually
tallies the amount of available coins, while the latter looks at the
sent of available outputs, which is filtered based on which coins are
locked.
To remedy this, we now ensure that when a peer disconnects, we wipe all
existing reservations which will return any locked outputs to the set
of available outputs for funding flows.
Add option to set trickleDelay for AuthenticatedGossiper in
command line, with default value of 300 milliseconds. Pass this
value to newServer, which uses it when creating a new instance of
AuthenticatedGossiper. Also set this value to 300 milliseconds when
creating nodes in integration tests.
In this commit, we add a new method shouldRequestGraphSync which the
server will use in order to determine if we should request a full
channel graph sync from a newly connected remote peer. Atm, we’ll only
request a full sync iff, we have less than two peers. This is only the
initial basic logic, as we’ll later extend this to be more
comprehensive.
With this change, we’ll no longer be blasted by full channel graph
dumps for _each_ new connection after we deem that we’ve been
sufficiently bootstrapped to the network.
In this commit we add the set of local features advertised as a
parameter to the newPeer function. With this change, the server will be
able to programmatically determine _which_ bits should be set on a
connection basis, rather than re-using the same global set of bits for
each peer.
This commit adds a new field to the switch’s Config, namely the public
key of the backing lightning node. This field will soon be used to
return more detailed errors messages back to the ChannelRouter itself.
This reverts commit 6db90ef09ab974df0ff09aeaf75a3d80414d4f50.
The root cause was fixed by commit
f4e7c36c80e8e2be9edb78b3b317c69d28d6d78f. As a result, this commit is no
longer needed.

This commit removes another case of unnecessary blockage, by modifying
the sendToPeer method to be fully asynchronous. From the PoV of the
callers that utilize this method currently, there’s no reason to block
until the completion of this method. Additionally, as the graph grows
larger without more intelligent the number of messages sent during
initial dump will start to be prohibitive to waiting for full
completion before proceeding.
In this commit, we make the BroadcastMessage method on the server more
asynchronous by abandoning the two wait groups that it used for
synchronization. It has been observed that a circular waiting loop
between the AuthenticatedGossiper and a peer’s readHandler can cause
the system to dead lock.
By removing this unnecessary synchronization, we avoid the deadlock
case and allow the gossiper itself to no longer block in this scenario.
In this commit we modify the main loop within the peerBootstrapper
slightly to check for a sufficient amount of connections, _before_
checking to see if we need to back off the main loop. With this, we
avoid unnecessarily backing off unless an actual error occurs.
This commit implements 2-week zombie channel pruning. This means that
every GraphPruneInterval (currently set to one hour), we’ll scan the
channel graph, marking any channels which haven’t had *both* edges
updated in 2 weeks as a “zombie”. During the second pass, all “zombie”
channel are removed from the channel graph all together.
Adding this functionality means we’ll ensure that we maintain a
“healthy” network view, which will cut down on the number of failed
HTLC routing attempts, and also reflect an active portion of the graph.
This commit fixes an incorrect logging statement within the
peerBootstrapper goroutine. We we’re using a Debug method previously
when we should’ve been using Debugf in order to properly pass the
logging statement through.
This commit adds a listener queue for each peer, that can be used
to queue listeners that will be notified when the targetted peer
eventually comes online.
This commit adds a new primary goroutine to the server struct:
peerBootstrapper. If peer boostrapping isn’t disabled in the config,
this new goroutine will be launched to attempt to establish a set of
initial connections for a new node. The logic is pretty straight
forward: first a set of initial connections is attempted, if after our
first epoch, we don’t have enough connections yet, then we’ll attempt
to query for an additional set. In each iteration, if we haven’t been
successful, then we increase our exponential backoff in order to not
spam any of our bootstrapping sources.
This commit alters the synchronization patterns used in the server
such that the internal state is protected by a single mutex. Overall,
this simplifies the ability to reason about the behavior and
manipulation of the internal state, which has resolved a few of flakes
related to race conditions that were observed before hand.
Invoking DisconnectPeer is now fully synchronous, and waits until
the provided peer's peerTerminationWatcher has exited before
returning. Currently this is done by tracking the watcher using the
peer's WaitGroup, and locking until the peer has shutdown.
The server's API has also been refactored such that all public methods
are safe for concurrent use. Therefore, other subsystems should be
sure to make use of these endpoints to avoid corrupting the internal
state.
This commit adds a new utility method to the server struct itself. This
method will allow callers to query the state of the server in order to
decide if the server has been started or not. This can be useful
elsewhere in the project as we start to decouple the lifetime of
certain sub-systems from others.
This commit updates the main single-funder funding workflow within the
fundingManager (initiated via the rpcserver or by a message from a
connected peer) to fully adhere to the funding protocol outlined in
BOLT-0002.
The major changes are as follows:
* All messages modified to use the new funding messages in BOLT-0002.
* The initiator of a funding workflow no longer decides how many
confirmations must elapse before the channel can be considered open.
* Rather than each side specifying their desired CSV delay, both
sides now specify the CSV delay for the _other_ party.
In previous commits we have intoduced the onion errors. Some of this
errors include lnwire.ChannelUpdate message. In order to change
topology accordingly to the received error, from nodes where failure
have occured, we have to propogate the update to the router subsystem.
In this commit daemon have been changed to set the proper hooks in the
channel link and switch subsystems so that they could send and receive
encrypted onion errors.
This commit overhauls the way that lnd is created with the goal of
ensuring the chain backends are fully synced up before the daemon
itself starts. The rpcServer has been slightly decoupled from the
server itself s.t we can start the rpcServer independently of the
server. This is required as we’ll now wait (unless we’re in simnet
mode) for the chain to fully sync up before we even _start_ any of the
server’s goroutines.
This commit modifies the Peers method on the server such that a caller
is able to query this method without the main serger goroutines
started. This is a small component in a larger change which will let us
start the RPC server independently of the server.
In current commit big shift have been made in direction of unit testable
payments scenarios. Previosly two additional structures have been added
which had been spreaded in the lnd package before, and now we apply
them in the lnd itself:
1. ChannelLink - is an interface which represents the subsystem for
managing the incoming htlc requests, applying the changes to the
channel, and also propagating/forwarding it to htlc switch.
2. Switch - is a central messaging bus for all incoming/outgoing htlc's.
The goal of the switch is forward the incoming/outgoing htlc messages
from one channel to another, and also propagate the settle/fail htlc
messages back to original requester.
With this abtractions the folowing schema becomes nearly complete:
abstraction

This commit adds the FeeEstimator interface, which can be used for
future fee calculation implementations. Currently, there is only the
StaticFeeEstimator implementation, which returns the same fee rate for
any transaction.
This commit fixes a bug that was introduced when the connection
handling was re-worked to properly handle the case of concurrent
connections being made. In certain cases after a successful initial
connection, a peer’s stray goroutine would still attempt to establish a
second outbound connection even though a connection had already been
established. This was properly handled by the connecting peer, but not
he receiving peer. This commit adds the additional logic to the
receiving peer to ensure that we properly handle this case.
In this commit waiting proofs array have been replaced with persistant
boltd storage which removes the possibility for the half proof to be
lost during half proof exchange.
This commit modifies the implementation of the new DisconnectPeer RPC
in the following ways:
* all validation has moved from the server to the rpcserver
* rather than iterating over _all_ channels, we now only check the
peer’s channels
* the disconnectPeerMsg now has a public key object
* this allows us to also verify that the user submitted a valid
pub key string
* we now check if a peer was persistent when disconnecting so we can
remove them from the persistent peer map
This commit fixes a prior bug wherein if a user connected to a peer
using the —perm command, then once the peer was disconnected, we
wouldn’t automatically connect to them.
Issue: 139
This commit contains client-side and server-side functionality
for disconnecting peers. rpc-client calls server side method and sends
message with pubKey.
This commit fixes a bug that was introduced when the concurrent
connection handling logic was re-written: if we don’t properly add the
persistent outbound connection to the persistent conn reqs map. The fix
is easy: add the pending conn req to the proper map.
This commit fixes a bug that would possibly result in tens of goroutine
beaching launched in an attempt to persistently connect to a peer. This
bug has been fixed by ensuring that we’ll only launch a new pending
connection attempt if we don’t already have one pending.
The prior methods we employed to handle persistent connections could
result in the following situation: both peers come up, and
_concurrently_ establish connection to each other. With the prior
logic, at this point, both connections would be terminated as each peer
would go to kill the connection of the other peer. In order to resolve
this issue in this commit, we’ve re-written the way we handle
persistent connections.
The eliminate the issue described above, in the case of concurrent peer
connection, we now use a deterministic method to decide _which_
connection should be closed. The following rule governs which
connection should be closed: the connection of the peer with the
“smaller” public key should be closed. With this rule we now avoid the
issue described above.
Additionally, each peer now gains a peerTerminationWatcher which waits
until a peer has been disconnected, and then cleans up all resources
allocated to the peer, notifies relevant sub-systems of its demise, and
finally handles re-connecting to the peer if it's persistent. This
replaces the goroutine that was spawned in the old version of
peer.Disconnect().
