In this commit, we add a new option to toggle gossip rate limiting. This
new option can be useful in contexts that require near instant
propagation of gossip messages like integration tests.
With this commit we make it possible to use an Onion v2 hidden service
address as the Neutrino backend.
This failed before because an .onion address cannot be looked up and
converted into an IP address through the normal DNS resolving process,
even when using a Tor socks proxy.
Instead, we turn any v2 .onion address into a fake IPv6 representation
before giving it to Neutrino's address manager and turn it back into an
Onion host address when actually dialing.
If we use a chain backend that only understands IP addresses (like
Neutrino for example), we need to turn any Onion v2 host addresses into
a fake IPv6 representation, otherwise it would be resolved incorrectly.
To do this, we use the same fake IPv6 address format that bitcoind and
btcd use internally to represent Onion v2 hidden service addresses.
Currently if the tower hangs up during session negotiation there is no
backoff applied. We add backoff here to avoid excessive CPU/network
utilization during unexpected failures.
Currently the ForceQuit call is scheduled after trying to stop the
backup queue. In certain cases, the call to stop the queue never
finishes, which means the force quit is never scheduled. We rememdy by
scheduling this call before any other operations to ensure we can always
exit ungracefully if necessary.
In this commit, we extend the `BuildRoute` method and RPC on the router
sub-server to accept a raw payment address which will be included as
part of an MPP payload for the finla hop. This change actually also
allows users to craft their own MPP paths using BuildRoute+SendToRoute.
Our primary goal however, was to fix some broken itests since we now
require the payAddr to be present for ALL payments other than key send
payments.
In this commit, we move to start rejecting any normal payments that
aren't keysend, if they don't also include the MPP invoice payload. With
this change, we require that some sort of e2e secret (either the payment
addr or the keysend pre-image) is present in a payload before we'll
accept the payment.
The second portion of the commit also updates all current tests in the
package. We kept the base `TestSettleInvoice` test in-tact as it still
exercises some useful behavior. However, we've removed all cases that
allow an overpayment, as the new MPP logic doesn't allow overpayment for
various reasons. In addition to this, some of the returned errors are
slightly different, tho the actual behavior is equivalent.
In this commit, we add a new RequiresFeature method to the feature
vector struct. This method allows us to check if the set of features
we're examining *require* that the even portion of a bit pair be set.
This can be used to check if new behavior should be allowed (after we
flip new bits to be required) for existing contexts.
In this commit, we move to start requiring the payment addr feature bit
in the invoices we produce. With this change, if a user attempts to pay
one of our invoices (assuming they're also an lnd node), then they'll
receive an error when they attempt to pay. At this point, *most* lnd
nodes should be on v0.11 at this point, and this change will notify any
lagging wallet authors to update, as these payments are generally more
secure.
This change was largely motivated by an increase in high disk usage as a
result of channel update spam. With an in memory graph, this would've
gone mostly undetected except for the increased bandwidth usage, which
this doesn't aim to solve yet. To minimize the effects to disks, we
begin to rate limit channel updates in two ways. Keep alive updates,
those which only increase their timestamps to signal liveliness, are now
limited to one per lnd's rebroadcast interval (current default of 24H).
Non keep alive updates are now limited to one per block per direction.
This allows for a 1000 different persistent operations to proceed
concurrently. Now that we are batching operations at the db level, the
average number of outstanding requests will be higher since the commit
latency has increased. To compensate, we allow for more outstanding
requests to keep the router busy while batches are constructed.
This allows for a 1000 different validation operations to proceed
concurrently. Now that we are batching operations at the db level, the
average number of outstanding requests will be higher since the commit
latency has increased. To compensate, we allow for more outstanding
requests to keep the gossiper busy while batches are constructed.
To finally end the discussion what Dockerfile should be used for what
and whether we should build from local source or check out from git, we
place both Dockerfiles next to each other and explicitly document their
purpose.
