chainntnfs/txnotifier: correctly update confirm/spend hints on chain updates
In this commit, we address an issue w.r.t. updating the confirm hints
for transactions and spend hints for outpoints on chain updates.
Previously, upon a block being disconnected, we'd attempt to commit a
new height hint for all outstanding confirmation notifications. This is
not correct because we'll end up modifying the height hint for things
that have confirmed at a previous height than the one being
disconnected. This would cause issues on restart when attempting a
historical dispatch, as we would start scanning at a height above which
the transaction actually confirmed in.

This has been addressed by only updating the hints for outstanding
notifications that are still unconfirmed/unspent and for notifications
that were confirmed/spent within the block being connected/disconnected.

Build Status MIT licensed GoDoc

The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of notifications available include:

  • Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
  • Notifications once a txid has reached a specified number of confirmations.
  • Notifications once a target outpoint (txid:index) has been spent.

These notifications are used within lnd in order to properly handle the workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally pruning the channel graph.

This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the specific use cases within lnd outlined above. The current sole concrete implementation of the ChainNotifier interface depends on btcd.
