The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.
This commit adds a new method to the ChannelLink interface which is
meant to allow outside sub-system to update the forwarding policy of a
channel. This can be triggered either by a new RPC method, or
automatically by some sort of control system which seeks to optimize
fee revenue, or block off channels, etc.
This commit puts a missing piece in place by properly parsing and
validating the per hop payload received in incoming HTLC’s. When
forwarding HTLC’s we ensure that the payload recovered is consistent
with our current forwarding policy. Additionally, when we’re the “exit
node” for a payment, then we ensure that the HTLC extended matches up
with our expectation w.r.t the payment amount to be received.
This commit modifies the HopIterator interface to allow nodes that
receive incoming HTLC’s to make forwarding decisions based on the
returned peer hop information, rather than just the next hop. With this
change, we can now enforce our routing policy, and reject any HTLC’s
that violate the policy.
This commit fixes a slight regression in the logic of the switch by
ensuring that the log commitment timer is only start _after_ we receive
a new commitment signature. Otherwise, the ticker will keep ticking and
possibly settle HTLC’s that’ve yet to be locked in, or waste a
signature causing us to be deprived of a revocation which is required
for us to initiate a new state transition.
Additionally, the commit performs a few minor post-merge clean ups.
This commit fixes some issues in the display of the stats logger which
resulted in: stats being printed even though no forwarding activity
took place, and underflow of integers resulting in weird outputs when
forwarding.
This commit also adds some additional comments and renames the main
forwarding goroutine to its former name.
This commit fixes an issue that would at times cause the htlcManager
which manages the link that’s the final hop to settle in an HTLC flow.
Previously, a case would arise wherein a set of HTLC’s were settled to,
but not properly committed to in the commitment transaction of the
remote node. This wasn’t an issue with HTLC’s which were added but
uncleared, as that batch was tracked independently.
In order to fix this issue, we now track pending HTLC settles
independently. This is a temporary fix, as has been noted in a TODO
within this commit.
In this commit usage of the pending packet queue have been added.
This queue will consume the downstream packets if state machine return
the error that we do not have enough capacity for htlc in commitment
transaction. Upon receiving settle/fail payment descriptors - add htlc
have been removed, we release the slot, and process pending add htlc
requests.
In this commit pending packet queue have been added. This queue
consumes the htlc packet, store it inside the golang list and send it
to the pending channel upon release notification.
Step #5 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
Combine all that have been done so far and add test framework for channel
links which allow unit test:
* message ordering
* detect redundant messages
* single hop payment
* multihop payment
* several cancel payment scenarios
Because processing of onion blob have been moved in another place we
could get rid of the variables which are not needed any more.
NOTE: pendingBatch have been replaced with batchCounter variable, but
it should be removed at all, because number of pending batch updates
might be counted by the state machine itself.
Step №4 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
This step consist of two:
1. Start using the hop iterator abstraction, the concrete
implementation of which will be added later, basically it will we the
same sphinx onion packet processor, but wrapped in hop iterator
abstraction.
2. The RevokAndAck processing part have been replaced by the
"processLockedInHtlcs" function which implement the same logic, but make
it a bit simpler.
Such changes will allow as to get rid of the the unnecessary variables.
Short: such abstraction give as ability to test the channel link in the
future.
Long: hop iterator represents the entity which is be able to give payment
route hop by hop. This interface will be used to have an abstraction
over the algorithm which we use to determine the next hope in htlc route
and also helps the unit test to create mock representation of such
algorithm which uses simple array of hops.
Step №2 in making htlcManager (aka channelLink) testable:
Implement the ChannelLink interface which is needed to use it in pair
with htlc switch. With this commit channel link impelements interface,
but isn't able to operate properly yet.
In this commit all initial code which will be transformed into channel
link have been added. Rather than changing the in the same commit is
better to create the standalone commit, in order to see the changes
which have been applied to relocated code.
This commit gives the start for making the htlc manager and htlc switch
testable. The testability of htlc switch have been achieved by mocking
all external subsystems. The concrete list of updates:
1. create standalone package for htlc switch.
2. add "ChannelLink" interface, which represent the previous htlc link.
3. add "Peer" interface, which represent the remote node inside our
subsystem.
4. add htlc switch config to htlc switch susbystem, which stores the
handlers which are not elongs to any of the above interfaces.
With this commit we are able test htlc switch even without having
the concrete implementation of Peer, ChannelLink structures, they will
be added later.
Add hop id structure wich represent the next lnd node in sphinx payment
route. This structure will be removed when we switch to use the channel
id as the pointers to the htlc update.
