In this commit, we update the genNodeAnnouncement method to also write
an updated version of the node announcment to disk. Before this commit,
we would update the in memory version, but then never write the new
version to disk. As a result, when connecting to new peers, we would
never propagate the new version of this announcement to the network.
In this commit, we modify the newly introduced UtxoSweeper.CreateSweepTx
to accept the confirmation target as a param of the method rather than a
struct level variable. We do this as this allows each caller to decide
at sweep time, what the fee rate should be, rather than using a global
value that is meant to work in all scenarios. For example, anytime
we're sweeping an output with a CLTV lock that's has a dependant
transaction we need to sweep/cancel, we may require a higher fee rate
than a regular force close with a CSV output.
In this commit, we also check ErrEdgeNotFound when attempting to send an
active/inactive channel update for a channel to the network. We do this
as it's possible that a channel has confirmed, but it still does not
meet the required number of confirmations to be publicly announced.
In this commit IncubateOutputs are given an extra parameter
broadcastHeight, which is passed from the server and used when called
registerPresschoolConf.
Earlier the utxonursery used the bestHeight as height hint in this case,
which would be wrong in the cases where we got outputs for incubation
which was confirmed below the best height.
over Tor
In this commit, we fix a small bug where we would attempt to start the
Tor controller even if we were not requested to automatically create and
onion service in order to listen for inbound connections over Tor.
In this commit, we restrict the persistent connection logic on startup
to only attempt to establish connections to Tor addresses if Tor
outbound support is enabled. Otherwise, we'll continually attempt to
reach the address even though we never will.
In this commit, we remove signaling for initial routing
dumps, which create unnecessary log spam, bandwidth, and
CPU. Now that gossip syncing is in full force, we will
instead opt to use the more efficient querying/set
reconciliation. Other nodes may still request initial
gossip sync from us, and we will respond.
This commit modifies the connection peer backoff
logic such that it will always backoff for "unstable"
peers. Unstable in this context is determined by
connections whose duration is shorter than 10
minutes. If a disconnect happens with a peer
whose connection lasts longer than 10 minutes,
we will scale back our stored backoff for that peer.
This resolves an issue that would result in a tight
connection loop with remote peers. This stemmed
from the connection duration being very short,
and always driving the backoff to the default
backoff of 1 second. Short connections like
this are now caught by the stable connection
threshold.
This also modifies the computation on the
backoff relaxation to subtract the connection
duration after applying randomized exponential
backoff, which offers better stability when
the connection duration and backoff are roughly
equal.
In this commit, we avoid logging an error when the links associated with
a peer are not found within its termination watcher. We do this to
prevent a benign log message as the links have already been removed from
the switch.
This commit fixes a bug that would cause us to fetch our peer's
ChannelUpdate in some cases, where we really wanted to fetch our own.
The reason this happened was that we passed the peer's pubkey to
fetchLastChanUpdate, making us match on their policy. This would lead to
ChannelUpdates being sent during routing which would have no effect on
the attempted path.
We fix this by always use our own pubkey in fetchLastChanUpdate, and
also uses the common methods within the server to be able to extract the
update even when only one policy is known.
This commit adds a goroutine watchChannelStatus to the server, which
will query the switch for the status of all open channels every
InactiveChanTimeout / 4. If a channel's status has remained unchanged
during the last InactiveChanTimeout it'll send out a ChannelUpdate
setting the disabled bit accordingly.
ProcessLocalAnnouncement will attempt to call UpdateEdge with the new
policy. If we call it manually before handing it to the gossiper, that
call will fail with "Outdated" and the announcement won't propagate.
