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.
The current max orphan transaction size causes problems with dependent
transaction relay due to its artificially small size in relation to the
max standard transaction size.
Consequently, this modifies the orphan transaction policy by increasing
the max size of each orphan to the same value allowed for standard
non-orphan transactions and reducing the default max allowed number of
orphans to 100.
From a memory usage standpoint, the worst case max mem usage prior to
this change was 5MB plus structure and tracking overhead (1000 max
orphans * 5KB max each). With this, that is raised to 10MB (100 max
orphans * 100KB max each) in the worst case.
It is important to note that the values were originally implemented as a
naive means to control the size of the orphan pool before several of the
recent enhancements which more aggressively remove orphans from the
orphan pool were added, so they needed to be evaluated again.
For a very long time prior to recent changes, the orphan pool would
quickly reach the max allowed worst-case usage and effectively stay
there forever whereas with more recent changes, the actual run-time
orphan pool usage is usually much smaller.
Finally, as another point in favor of this change, as the network has
evolved, nodes have generally become better about orphan management and
as such missing ancestors will typically either be broadcast or mined
fairly quickly resulting in fewer overall orphans.
This removes any remaining orphan transactions that were sent by a peer
when it disconnects since it is extremely unlikely that the missing
parents will ever materialize from elsewhere.
This allows a caller-provided tag to be associated with orphan
transactions. This is useful since the caller can use the tag for
purposes such as keeping track of which peers orphans were first seen
from.
Also, since a parameter is required now anyways, it associates the peer
ID with processed transactions from remote peers.
This does the minimum work necessary to refactor the CPU miner code into
its own package. The idea is that separating this code into its own
package will improve its testability and ultimately be useful to other
parts of the codebase such as the various tests which currently
effectively have their own stripped-down versions of this code.
The API will certainly need some additional cleanup and changes to make
it more usable outside of the specific circumstances it was originally
designed to support (namely the generate RPC), however it is better to
do that in future commits in order to keep the changeset as small as
possible during this refactor.
Overview of the major changes:
- Create the new package
- Move cpuminer.go -> cpuminer/cpuminer.go
- Update mining logging to use the new cpuminer package logger
- Rename cpuminerConfig to Config (so it's now cpuminer.Config)
- Rename newCPUMiner to New (so it's now cpuminer.New)
- Update all references to the cpuminer to use the package
- Add a skeleton README.md
This moves the error check for an attempt to call the generate RPC when
on a network that there is virtually no chance of mining a block with
the CPU into the RPC server where it more naturally belongs. The caller
of the CPU should be the one to determine if it wants to allow mining or
not. While here, use a more accurate RPC error code of ErrDifficulty
instead of ErrInternal.
This change is a step towards being able to separate the CPU mining code
into its own subpackage.
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 corrects a few issues introduced with the connection manager where
the server was not notifying the connection manager when a connection
request is available again.
The cases resolved are:
- Unable to initialize a server peer instance in response to the connection
- Failure to associate the connection with the server peer instance
- Disconnection of a non-persistent outbound peer
It also changes the log message to a debug in the former case because
it's not something that should be shown to the user as an error given
it's not due to anything the user has misconfigured nor is it even
unexpected if an invalid address is provided.
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.
Now that glide is used for version management the deps.txt file is no
longer needed. It will still be available in the git history if it is
ever needed.
This modifies the NewMsgTx function to accept the transaction version as
a parameter and updates all callers.
The reason for this change is so the transaction version can be bumped
in wire without breaking existing tests and to provide the caller with
the flexibility to create the specific transaction version they desire.
This does the minimum work necessary to refactor the block template
generation code into the mining package. The idea is that separating
this code into the mining package will greatly improve its testability,
allow independent benchmarking and profiling, and open up some
interesting opportunities for future development related to mining.
There are some areas related to policy and other configuration that
could be further refactored, however it is better to do that in future
commits in order to keep the changeset as small as possible during this
refactor.
Overview of the major changes:
- Move mining.go -> mining/mining.go
- Move mining_test.go -> mining/mining_test.go
- Add logger to mining package
- Update the MINR subsystem to use the new mining package logger
- Export CoinbaseFlags from the mining package
- BlkTmplGenerator is now mining.BlkTmplGenerator
- Update all references to the mining code to use the package
