The btcsuite/fastsha256 registers itself in the crypto package of
golang as a replacement for sha256. This causes problems in TLS1.3
connections that require the hash implementations to be serializable
and results in the "tls: internal error: failed to clone hash" error.
By removing all uses of the library we fix that error.
This commit extends the link with a new synchronous delivery point for
local UpdateAddHTLC messages. The switch method SendHTLC is updated to
use this delivery point and thereby becomes a synchronous call.
For MPP payments, synchronous hand-off is important. Otherwise the next
pathfinding round could start without the channel balance updated yet.
Modifies some of the older mailbox tests that were left untouched as of
PR #4174 to use the new mailbox test context. This ensures that the
config members of each mailbox's config are properly initialized. In
certain instances where travis is slow, this would cause test panics.
This commit adds a PendingCommitTicker to the link config, which allows
us to control how quickly we fail the link if the commitment dance
stalls. Now that the mailbox has the ability to cancel packets, when the
link fails it will reset the mailbox packets on exit, forcing a
reevaluation of the HTLCs against their mailbox expiries.
Now that packet failure is handled by the mailbox, we can now enforce
a delivery deadline and fail the packet if it the deadilne is exceeded.
This gives senders quicker feedback about tried routes, and allows them
to try alternative paths to the destination in the meantime.
This commit splits the packet courier internally into two distinct
queues, one for adds and one for settles+fails. This allows us to
prioritize HTLCs that will clear the commitment transaction and make
space for adds. Previously this responsibility was handled by the
overflow queue.
This commit delays the advancement of the pktHead until after the
message has been delivered. This is a prepatory step, as in the future
we may fail to deliver the packet due to a deadline expiring.
This commit moves the current logic for sending failures out of the link
and into the mailbox in preparation for our failing delayed htlcs. We do
so because the mailbox may need to fail packets while the link is
offline, and needs to be able to complete the task without member
methods on the link.
This commit removes the overflowQueue from the link. We do so in order
to promote better UX for senders, so that HTLCs are failed faster when
the commitment is full. This gives the sender the opportunity to try
another, more open path, rather than perceive the HTLC as being stuck.
At the same time, we remove the total number of active goroutines in lnd
by a factor of N where N is the number of active channels.
This commit is preparation for the test added in the subsequent commit.
We modify makeHoldPayment to return any failures direectly when trying
to add an HTLC to the switch. This lets us know that the HTLC was indeed
sent without failure when the method returns.
A following commits will move/modify callsites of AckPacket, Start, and
Stop, none of which use the return value and ultimately cause the linter
to complain. However, none of these in-memory operations can fail so we
just remove the returned errors altogether.
