This commit removes the fallback in fetchGossipSyncer
that creates a gossip syncer if one is not registered
w/in the gossiper. Now that we register gossip syncers
explicitly before reading any gossip query messages,
this should not longer be required. The fallback also
did not honor the cfg.NoChanUpdates flag, which may
have led to inconsistencies between configuration and
actual behavior.
In this commit, we aim to resolve an issue with nodes requesting for
channel announcements when receiving a channel update for a channel
they're not aware of. This can happen if a node is not caught up with
the chain or if they receive updates for zombie channels. This would
lead to a spam issue, as if a node is not caught up with the chain,
every new update they receive is premature, causing them to manually
request the backing channel announcement. Ideally, we should be able to
detect this as a potential DoS vector and ban the node responsible, but
for now we'll simply remove this functionality.
In this commit, we select on the peer's QuitSignal to allow the caller
to unblock if the peer itself is disconnecting. With this change, we now
ensure that it isn't possible for a peer to block on this method and
prevent a graceful exit.
Previosuly we would immediately return nil on the error channel for
premature ChannelUpdates, which would break the expection that a a
returned non-error meant the update was successfully added to the
database. This meant that the caller would believe the update was added
to the database, while it is actually still in volatile memory and can
be lost during restarts.
This change makes us handle premature ChannelUpdates as we handle other
premature announcements within the gossiper, by deferring sending on the
error channel until we have reprocessed the update.
Previously we wouldn't return anything in the case where the
announcement were meant for a chain we didn't recognize. After this
change we should return an error on the error channel in all flows
within the gossiper.
Corrects an instance that holds a reference to a boltdb
byte slice after returning from the transaction. This
can cause panics under certain conditions, which is
avoided by creating a copy of the key.
In this commit, we allow the gossiper syncer to store the chunk size for
its respective encoding type. We do this to prevent a race condition
that would arise within the unit tests by modifying the values of the
encodingTypeToChunkSize map to allow for easier testing.
In this commit, we randomize the order of the different bootstrappers in
order to prevent from always querying potentially unreliable
bootstrappers first.
In this commit, we fix the logging when adding new gossip syncers. The
old log would log the byte array, rather than the byte slice. We fix
this by slicing before logging.
This commit changes the gossiper to direct messages to
peer objects, instead of sending them through the
server every time. The primary motivation is to reduce
contention on the server's mutex and, more importantly,
avoid deadlocks in the Triangle of Death.
In this commit, we go through the codebase looking for TCP address
assumptions and modifying them to include the recently introduced onion
addresses. This enables us to fully support onion addresses within the
daemon.
In this commit, we fix a bug where a fallback SRV lookup would leak
information if `lnd` was set to route connections over Tor. We solve
this by using the network-specific functions rather than the standard
ones found in the `net` package.
In this commit, we fix an existing deadlock in the
gossiper->server->peer pipeline by ensuring that we're not holding the
syncer mutex while we attempt to have a syncer filter out the rest of
gossip messages.
In this commit we fix an existing bug caused by a scheduling race
condition. We'll now ensure that if we get a gossip message from a peer
before we create an instance for it, then we create one on the spot so
we can service the message. Before this commit, we would drop the first
message, and therefore never sync up with the peer at all, causing them
to miss channel announcements.
In this commit, we extend the AuthenticatedGossiper to take advantage of
the new query features in the case that it gets a channel update w/o
first receiving the full channel announcement. If this happens, we'll
attempt to find a syncer that's fully synced, and request the channel
announcement from it.
This new method allows outside callers to sample the current state of
the gossipSyncer in a concurrent-safe manner. In order to achieve this,
we now only modify the g.state variable atomically.
In this commit, we create a new concrete implementation for the new
discovery.ChannelGraphTimeSeries interface. We also export the
createChannelAnnouncement method to allow the chanSeries struct to
re-use the existing code for creating wire messages from the database
structs.
