This commit modifies the base peer struct to ascertain when a peer is
able to understand the new witness encoding, and specify the peer’s
supported encoding explicitly before/after the version handshake.
This changes the nonce generated to detect self connections over to use
pseudo randoms instead of a cryptographically random nonce.
There is really not a good reason for it to be cryptographically strong,
using the prng is much faster, and the prng also doesn't burn entropy.
This removes the field that tracks whether the version has been sent
since it is no longer used after the version negotiation was separated
from the main read and write code.
Replace assignments to individual fields of wire.NetAddress with
creating the entire object at once, as one would do if the type was
immutable.
In some places this replaces the creation of a NetAddress with a
high-precision timestamp with a call to a 'constructor' that converts
the timestamp to single second precision. For consistency, the tests
have also been changed to use single-precision timestamps.
Lastly, the number of allocations in readNetAddress have been reduced by
reading the services directly into the NetAddress instead of first into
a temporary variable.
This modifies the error handling path in the peer read loop such that it
will no longer log an error when the error is io.ErrUnexpectedEOF. This
is being done because that error is almost always the result of a peer
being remotely disconnected and thus it isn't useful information to log.
However, since it might actually be due to a malformed message, a reject
message is still queued up to be sent back to the peer (which will
simply be discarded if the peer disconnected) before it is disconnected.
While it would be ideal to only log if it's not due to a disconnect, and
the code already attempts to handle that, it's not 100% possible to
detect upon the read returning an error without attempting to read again
which will not happen until the next loop iteration.
The inability for a peer to negotiate is not something that should be a
warning which implies something is wrong. On the contrary, it is quite
expected that various peers will connect (or be connected to) that are
unable to properly negotiate for a variety of reasons. One example would
be a peer that is too old.
Also, while here take care of a few style nits.
This adds a new field to the peer struct which stores the protocol
version advertised by the remote peer and updates the StatsSnapshot to
return the advertised version instead of the negotiated version.
Older nodes previously added the IP and port information to the address
manager which proved to be unreliable as an inbound connection from a
peer didn't necessarily mean the peer itself accepted inbound
connections.
This also fixes a bug where the peer package was incorrectly sending
the peer's services as its own.
This makes the enforcement of the bloom filter service bit much more
strict. In particular, it does the following:
- Moves the enforcement of the bloom filter service bit out of the peer
package and into the server so the server can ban as necessary
- Disconnect peers that send filter commands when the server is
configured to disable them regardless of the protocol version
- Bans peers that are a high enough protocol version that they are
supposed to observe the service bit is disabled, but ignore it and
send filter commands regardless.
As an added bonus, this fixes the old logic which had a bug in that it
was examining the *remote* peer's supported services in order to choose
whether or not to disconnect instead of the *local* server's supported
services.
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
The --blocksonly configuration option disables accepting transactions
from remote peers. It will still accept, relay, and rebroadcast
valid transactions sent via RPC or websockets.
This modifies the peer package to add support for the sendheaders
protocol message introduced by BIP0030.
NOTE: This does not add support to btcd itself. That requires the server
and sync code to make use of the new functionality exposed by these
changes. As a result, btcd will still be using protocol version 70011.
This ensures the channel passed to QueueMessage is writable and that
QueueMessage will not read from the channel (write-only).
This change is merely a safety change. If a user of the API passes
a read-only channel to QueueMessage, it will now be caught at compile
time instead of panicking during runtime.
Also update internal functions.
This commit does not change functionality. It makes the creation of inbound and outbound peers more homogeneous. As a result the Start method of peer was removed as it was found not to be necessary. This is the first of several pull requests/commits designed to make the peer public API and internals less complex.
