chainntfns/btcdnotify: eliminate block epoch race condition, use diff cancel channel
This commit fixes a race condition that was uncovered by the race
condition detector surrounding cancelling active block epoch
notifications. Previously we would close the main notification channel
for each client, at tine this would cause a read/write race condition
if an active grouting was attempting to dispatch a notification. We now
fix this use by using a distinct channel for signaling cancellation to
the active grouting, and another to signal cancellation to any
notification observers.

chainntnfs

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.
