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call will fail with "Outdated" and the announcement won't propagate.
This commit adds asynchronous starting of peers,
in order to avoid potential DOS vectors. Currently,
we block with the server's mutex while peers exchange
Init messages and perform other setup. Thus, a remote
peer that does not reply with an init message will
cause server to block for 15s per attempt.
We also modify the startup behavior to spawn
peerTerminationWatchers before starting the
peer itself, ensuring that a peer is properly
cleaned up if the initialization fails. Currently,
failing to start a peer does not execute the bulk
of the teardown logic, since it is not spawned
until after a successful Start occurs.
In this commit, we fix a small bug where we would increase epochErrors
by one even if connections were successfully established. Due to this,
we would stay stuck inside of the peer bootstrapper loop without
requerying for new peers.
In this commit, we move the initialization of the server into the
funding manager itself. We do this as it's no longer the case that _any_
RPC needs to access the funding manager. In the past, this was the
only reason that the funding manager was instantiated outside of the
server: to be able to respond to queries _before_ the server was
started.
This change also fixes a bug as atm, the funding manager will try to
register for notifications _before_ the ChainNotifier itself has fully
started.
In this commit, we modify the existing message sending functionality
within the fundingmanager. Due to each mesage send requiring to hold the
server's lock to retrieve the peer, we might run into a case where the
lock is held for a larger than usual amount of time and would therefore
block on sending the message within the fundingmanager. We remedy this
by taking a similar approach to some recent changes within the gossiper.
We now keep track of each peer within the internal fundingmanager
messages and send messages directly to them.
In this commit, we extend the server's functionality to prune link nodes
on startup. Since we currently only decide whether to prune a link node
from the database based on a channel close, it's possible that we have
link nodes lingering from before this functionality was added on.
In this commit, we update all the lncfg methods used to properly pass in
a new resolver. This is required in order to ensure that we don't leak
our DNS queries if Tor mode is active.
In this commit, we move the block height dependency from the links in
the switch to the switch itself. This is possible due to a recent change
on the links no longer depending on the block height to update their
commitment fees.
We'll now only have the switch be alerted of new blocks coming in and
links will retrieve the height from it atomically.
In this commit, we address an existing issue with regards to the inital
peer bootstrapping stage. At times, the bootstrappers can be unreliable
by providing addresses for peers that no longer exist/are currently
offline. This would lead to nodes quickly entering an exponential
backoff method used to maintain a minimum target of peers without first
achieving said target.
We address this by separating the peer bootstrapper into two stages: the
initial peer bootstrapping and maintaining a target set of nodes to
maintain an up-to-date view of the network. The initial peer
bootstrapping stage has been made aggressive in order to provide such
view of the network as quickly as possible. Once done, we continue on
with the existing exponential backoff method responsible for maintaining
a target set of nodes.
traversal
In this commit, we allow our node to automatically advertise its
connection's external IPs on the ports it is currently listening on in
order to accept inbound connections. This is only done when specifying
a NAT traversal technique when starting the daemon.
We also include a handy method that watches for dynamic IP changes in
the background. If a new IP is detected, we'll craft a new node
announcement using the new IP and broadcast it to the network.
In this commit, we finish the fix for the inbound/outbound peer bool in
the server. The prior commit forgot to also flip the inbound/output maps
in Inbound/Outbound peer connected. As a result, the checks were
incorrect and could cause lnd to refuse to accept any more inbound
connections in the case of a concurrent connection attempt.
In this commit, we ensure that if we're already ignoring a connection,
then we also ignore the pending persistent connection request.
Otherwise, we'll move to accept the replaced connection, but then
continue to attempt connection requests.
In this commit, we modify the look up for inbound peers to ensure that
we connect to the "freshest" address until we need to execute the
peerTerminationWatcher. We do this as it's possible for a channel to be
created by the remote peer during our session. If we don't query for the
node's address at the latest point, then we'll miss this new node
announcement for the node.
In this commit, we address the meaning of the inbound parameter to
peerConnected. An inbound connection is defined as a connection
initiated by the peer, rather than ourselves.
We also update the inbound value for the peerConnected calls within
OutboundPeerConnected and InboundPeerConnected to reflect the definition
above.
We remove the internale broadcastMessage method, and instead handle the
mutex handling within BroadcastMessage. This lets us hold the mutex only
when neccessary.
This commit removes the sendToPeer method from the server, and instead
moves the necessary logic into SendToPeer. This let's us make the mutex
acquisition more fine-grained, only holding it while reading from the
peer map. Earlier it was required to be held during the whole call to
sendToPeer, as the method would access the map internally.
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 update the way we reestablish inbound connections if
we lose connectivity to a node we have an open channel with. Rather than
fetching the node's advertised port, we'll fetch one of their advertised
addresses instead. This ensure that if the remote node is running behind
a proxy, we do not see the proxy's address.
In this commit, we allow the daemon to use the recently introduced Tor
Controller implementation. This will automatically create a v2 onion
service at startup in order to listen for inbound connections over Tor.

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 allow `lnd` to properly parse onion addresses in
order to advertise them to the network when set through the
`--externalip` flag.

In this commit, we introduce a new method to the channel router's config
struct: QueryBandwidth. This method allows the channel router to query
for the up-to-date available bandwidth of a particular link. In the case
that this link emanates from/to us, then we can query the switch to see
if the link is active (if not bandwidth is zero), and return the current
best estimate for the available bandwidth of the link. If the link,
isn't one of ours, then we can thread through the total maximal
capacity of the link.
In order to implement this, the missionControl struct will now query the
switch upon creation to obtain a fresh bandwidth snapshot. We take care
to do this in a distinct db transaction in order to now introduced a
circular waiting condition between the mutexes in bolt, and the channel
state machine.
The aim of this change is to reduce the number of unnecessary failures
during HTLC payment routing as we'll now skip any links that are
inactive, or just don't have enough bandwidth for the payment. Nodes
that have several hundred channels (all of which in various states of
activity and available bandwidth) should see a nice gain from this w.r.t
payment latency.
This commit adds a simple scheduling mechanism for
resolving potential deadlocks when dropping a stale
connection (via pubkey inspection).
Ideally, we'd like to wait to activate a new peer until
the previous one has exited entirely. However, the current
logic attempts to disconnect (and wait) until the peer
has been cleaned up fully, which can result in
deadlocks with other portions of the codebase, since
other blocking methods may also need acquire the mutex
before the peer can exit.
When existing connections are replaced, they now
schedule a callback that is executed inside the
peerTerminationWatcher. Since the peer now waits for
the clean exit of the prior peer, this callback is
now executed with a clean slate, adds the peer to
the server's maps, and initiates peer's Start() method.
This skips creating errChans when sending messages to
peer during broadcast. This should be a minor memory
optimization, as well as not requiring channel sends
on those which will never be read.
In this commit, we ensure that any time we send a TempChannelFailure
that's destined for a multi-hop source sender, then we'll always package
the latest channel update along with it.
This commit make the server populate the ChainArbitrator's
ContractBreach method, by a method that will reliably handoff the breach
event ot the breachArbiter. The server will now forward the breach event
to the breachArbiter, and only let the closure return a non-nil error
when the breachArbiter ACKs this event.
In this commit, we fix a minor logging bug introduced in a prior commit.
Before we would directly modify the *net.TCPAddr that was a part of the
brontide connection. This achieved our goal, but would print weird log
messages as we mutated the port in the already established connection.
In this commit, we fix that by ensuring we create a copy iff it's a
net.TCPAddr, then modify that and replace the instance in the
lnwire.NetAddress.
Fixes#991.
This commits changes the behavior of our connection
reestablishment, and resolves some minor issues that
could lead to uncancelled requests or an infinite
connection loop.
- Will not attempt to Remove connection requests with
an ID of 0. This can happen for reconnect attempts
that get scheduled, but have not started at the
time the server cancels the connection requests.
- Adds a per-peer cancellation channel, that is
closed upon a successful inbound or outbound
connection. The goroutine spwaned to handle the
reconnect by the peerTerminationWatch now
selects on this channel, and skips reconnecting
if it is closed before the backoff matures.
- Properly computes the backoff when no entry in
persistentPeersBackoff is found. Previously, a
value of 0 would be returned, cause all subsequent
backoff attempts to use a backoff of 0.
- Cancels a peers retries and remove connections
immediately after receiving an inbound connection,
to mimic the structure of OutboundPeerConnected.
- Cancels all persistent connection requests after
calling DisconnectPeers.
- Allow additional connection attempts to peers, even if
there already exists a pending connection attempt.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug within the codebase: if a peer
connected to us inbound, then we'd attempt to use the assigned port when
re-establishing a connection to them. We fix this issue in this commit
by adding a new method to look up any advertisements for the peer, and
use the specified port that matches our connection attempt. If we can't
find a proper advertisement, then we'll simply use the default peer
port.
In this commit we modify the storage location of the sphinx replay
database to be under the precise network, and not only the graph sub
directory. Before this commit, due to the usage of filepath.Dir(), the
db would lie under /graph/, rather than say, /graph/simnet.
This commit adds an backoff policy to the peer termination
watcher to avoid getting stuck in tight connection loops
with failing peers. The maximum backoff is now set to 128s,
and each backoff is randomized so that two instances using
the same algorithm have some hope of desynchronizing.
This commit adds the `lnnet` package which contains an
implementation of the newly created LightningNet interface which
multiplexes the Dial and DNS-related functions to use net
by default and torsvc if a flag is specified. This modularization
makes for cleaner code.
This commit adds a new interface named NetInterface and two
implementations of it: RegularNet & TorProxyNet. These two structs
are used in config.go in an attempt to clean up the code and
abstract away the dialer and DNS functions.
This commit adds a new module named 'torsvc' which houses all Tor
functionality in an attempt to isolate it and make it reusable in
other projecs. Some additional tweaks were made to config.go and
to the bootstrapper.
This commit adds Tor support. Users can set the --TorSocks flag
to specify which port Tor's SOCKS5 proxy is listening on so that
lnd can connect to it. When this flag is set, ALL traffic gets
routed over Tor including DNS traffic. Special functions for
DNS lookups were added, and since Tor doesn't natively support
SRV requests, the proxySRV function routes connects us to
a DNS server via Tor and SRV requests can be issued directly
to the DNS server.

A recent commit modified the mutex in the server to the read/write. In
order to further reduce contention, we’ll grab the read lock when we’re
examining get set of peers to ignore.
This commit aims to reduce the contention on the server's primary
mutex by (1) replacing it with a RWMutex, and (2) not holding an
exclusive lock throughout the duration of the SendToPeer method.
For the latter, we now only have to hold a shared lock until all
messages have been queued, where as before an exclusive lock
was held until all messages had been acknowledged by the target
peer's write handler. Since the initial syncing of announcements
with peer now comprises a couple thousand messages on testnet,
these changes should help keep the server from deadlocking while
completing and long-lived syncing operations.
In this commit, we modify the way that notifications are dispatched
within the chainWatcher. Before we would *always* wait for an ack back
before we started to clean up he database state. This would at times
lead to deadlocks. To remedy this, we now allow callers to decide if
they want notifications to be sync or not. The only current caller that
requires this is the breach arbiter.
In this commit, we add the IsOurAddress field into the config of the
chain arb. With this new function closure, the chain arb is able to
detect co-op on chain closes automatically.
In this commit, we modify the breach arbiter to no longer require
holding a channel object directly in order to receive new notifications
about possible breaches. Instead, we’ll contact the chain arbiter to
request a new channel event subscription.
As a result of the new architecture, we no longer need to receive a
handoff once the new channel comes online, as the chainWatcher will
always be active and watching the channel until it’s been closed.
Peers are treated as transient by default. When a peer is disconnected,
no attempt is made to reconnect. However, if we have a channel open
with a peer that peer will be added as persistent. If a persistent peer
becomes disconnected then we will attempt to reconnect.
This behavior implies that a fresh node - those without any channels -
will fall off the network over time as remote nodes restart or due to
connectivity changes. This change marks bootstrap peers as persistent
and ensures that the node remains connected to those specific peers over
time. This does not keep the node connected in the case that all
bootstrap peers are down.
Fixes#451.
In this commit, we modify the Broadcast to take a *set* of peers to
skip, rather than just a single peer. We make this modification as when
a new channel is discovered, it’s likely the case that we get the
announcement from several peers rather than a single peer. With this
change, we’ll ensure that the caller (who is aware of the set of
senders) is able to properly avoid wasting bandwidth by re-sending the
message to all peers that sent it to us originally.
This commit fixes a deadlock that could occur when
a peer disconnected during a call to sentToPeer. In
This particular case, a message would successfully
be queued, the peer would shutdown, and we would
block waiting for an error to be returned on the
message's error channel, which would deadlock.
This fixes that by also checking for peer shutdown.
This commit reorders logic in the peer termination
watcher such that we short circuit earlier if we
already have pending persistent connection requests.
Before, the debug statement may have indicated that
a reconnection was being attempted, even though it
may have exited before submitting the request to
the connection manager.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that would cause funding
transaction to be broadcast without any fees attached at all. This is
only an issue if the fee rate reported is extremely so, as can happen
on testnet. In this case, when we went to scale down to sat/weight, we
would return a value of zero due to integer division. If we went via
the EstimateFeePerWeight call directly, then it would've been detected.
However, we accept the fee/byte from the user directly on the command
line this wasn't being done.
To fix this, we'll now manually set the fee to a sane value, if it
returns a value that can't properly be scaled to fee/weight.
