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.
Since it turned out borking channels on every received error could cause
us to bork channels in case of a sync error with C-lightning, we revert
this for now.
Now that inputs might have accompanied outputs to be added to the sweep
tx, we add them to the sweep transaction first, and account for it when
calculating the change amount.
If inputs require outputs to be added at the same time, this will
change the weight and amount calculations, so we must account for that.
We wait to get the weight estimator for the sweep tx until needed,
such that we can easily choose whether to include a change output or not
in the estimate. This is needed for the case where the second level
transactions can pay for their own fee, so no change output is needed.
