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.
The thresholdState and deploymentState functions expect the block node
for the block prior to which the threshold state is calculated, however
the startup code which checked the threshold states was using the
current best node instead of its parent.
While here, also update the comments and rename a couple of variables to
help make this fact more clear.
The CSV consensus rules dictate that the opcode fails when the
transaction version is not at least version 2, however that only applies
if the disable flag is not set in the sequence.
This is not an issue at the current time because we do not yet enforce
CSV at a consensus level, however, I noticed this discrepancy when doing
a thorough audit of the CSV paths due to the ongoing work to add full
consensus-enforced CSV support.
As a result, this must be merged prior to enabling consensus enforcement
for CSV or it would open up the potential for a hard fork.
This modifies the code to only enforce the fairly expensive BIP0030
(duplicate transcactions) checks when the chain has not yet reached the
BIP0034 activation height (and is not one of the 2 special historical
blocks that break the rule and prompted BIP0034 to being with) since
that BIP made it impossible to create duplicate coinbases and thus
removed the possibility of creating transactions that overwrite older
ones.
This is a rather large optimization because the check is expensive due
to involving a ton of cache misses in the utxoset. For example, the
following are times it took to perform the BIP0030 check on blocks
425490 - 425502 and a system with a relatively old Hitachi spinner HDD:
block 425490: 674.5857ms
block 425491: 726.5923ms
block 425492: 827.6051ms
block 425493: 680.0863ms
block 425494: 722.0917ms
block 425495: 700.0889ms
block 425496: 647.5823ms
block 425497: 445.0565ms
block 425498: 602.5765ms
block 425499: 375.0476ms
block 425500: 771.0979ms
block 425501: 461.5586ms
block 425502: 603.0766ms
As can be seen from these numbers, this reduces the block validation
time by an average of just over half a second for the given
representative data set and hardware.

Now that all softforking is done via BIP0009 versionbits, replace the
old isMajorityVersion deployment mechanism with hard coded historical
block heights at which they became active.
Since the activation heights vary per network, this adds new parameters
to the chaincfg.Params struct for them and sets the correct heights at
which each softfork became active on each chain.
It should be noted that this is a technically hard fork since the
behavior of alternate chain history is different with these hard-coded
activation heights as opposed to the old isMajorityVersion code. In
particular, an alternate chain history could activate one of the soft
forks earlier than these hard-coded heights which means the old code
would reject blocks which violate the new soft fork rules whereas this
new code would not.
However, all of the soft forks this refers to were activated so far in
the chain history there is there is no way a reorg that long could
happen and checkpoints reject alternate chains before the most recent
checkpoint anyways. Furthermore, the same change was made in Bitcoin
Core so this needs to be changed to be consistent anyways.
This commit adds all of the infrastructure needed to support BIP0009
soft forks.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Add new configuration options to the chaincfg package which allows the
rule deployments to be defined per chain
- Implement code to calculate the threshold state as required by BIP0009
- Use threshold state caches that are stored to the database in order
to accelerate startup time
- Remove caches that are invalid due to definition changes in the
params including additions, deletions, and changes to existing
entries
- Detect and warn when a new unknown rule is about to activate or has
been activated in the block connection code
- Detect and warn when 50% of the last 100 blocks have unexpected
versions.
- Remove the latest block version from wire since it no longer applies
- Add a version parameter to the wire.NewBlockHeader function since the
default is no longer available
- Update the miner block template generation code to use the calculated
block version based on the currently defined rule deployments and
their threshold states as of the previous block
- Add tests for new error type
- Add tests for threshold state cache
addrmgr.GetAddress() had a parameter `class string` originally intended
to support looking up addresses according to some type of filter such as
IPv4, IPv6, and only those which support specific wire.ServiceFlags
(full nodes, nodes that support bloom filters, nodes that support
segwit, etc). But currently the parameter is unused and also has an
inappropriate type `string`.
If it would ever be used, it's easy to add back and should then get an
appropriate type such as something that allows bitflags to be set so
that the caller could request combinations such as peers that support
IPv6, are full nodes, and support bloom filters.
This corrects an issue introduced by commit
e8f63bc295 where a failure to lookup a
hostname could lead to a panic in certain circumstances. An error is
now returned in that case as expected.
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.
This commit modifies the `ConnManager` to use the `net.Add` interface
through the package instead of a plain string to represent and
manipulate addresses. This change makes the package much more general as
users of the package can possibly utilize custom implementations of the
`net.Addr` interface to establish connections.
More precisely, the `ConnReq` struct has been modified to use a net.Addr
instance explicitly, and the `DialFunc` type has also been modified to
take a `net.Addr` directly. This latter change gives functions that
adhere to the `DialFunc` type more flexibility as to exactly how the
connection is established.
Additionally, the `connmgr.Config.GetNewAddress` configuration option
now directly returns a `net.Addr. This change allows the `connmgr` to be
decoupled from all DNS queries which allows callers to preferentially
select more secure methods like performing DNS lookups over a Tor proxy.
This modifies the signatures of all serverPeer callbacks that are
provided as peer.Listeners to use _ for the first parameter name which
ensures the passed peer can't be used within the function and updates
all references to the server peer.
This helps ensure any overridden methods that might be defined on a
serverPeer will be invoked where directly calling methods on the passed
peer would not.
Also, while here, add a comment to the OnFeeFilter function.
This modifies the connection manager to provide support for accepting
inbound connections on a caller-provided set of listeners and notify the
caller via a callback.
This is only the minimum work necessary to get inbound support into the
connection manager. The intention for future commits is to move more
connection-related logic such as limiting the maximum number of overall
connections and banned peer tracking into the connection manager.
This removes the type definitions for the callback functions in favor of
declaring them directly in the Config struct. This is more consistent
with the rest of the code base and is preferred since it means callers
reviewing the documentation don't have to follow another level of
indirection to figure out the signature.
Rather than accepting a net.Addr interface and returning an error when
it's not specifically a *net.TCPConn, just accept a *net.TCPConn
directly so the compiler will assert it. Also, remove the error return
since it can no longer occur.
This function is a legacy function from way back during initial
development. Nothing actually uses it and it's not very useful anyways
since it requires the connection to be a specific type (net.TCPConn) and
therefore doesn't work right with things that typically provide their
own net.Conn implementation like proxies.
This modifies the goclean.sh script to include the unconvert lint tool
in the gometalinter configuration.
It also bumps the deadline to 45 seconds to give slower TravisCI
build servers more breathing room.
This makes two modifications based on the results of staticcheck.
The first is to use a simplified zero value for the time in the addrmgr
package tests.
The second is check any errors when opening a directory while attempting
to perform old version upgrades.
This switches `goclean` to use `gometalint` instead of running each checking tool one at a time. The `gometalint` tool runs them concurrently.
More importantly it will allow us to easily add additional linters as desired.
