This commit adds two new cli flags: one for accepting non-std
transactions, and the other for rejecting non-std transactions.
The two flag are rejected when using concurrently. Config parsing is
set up such that, the desired policy expressed via the config always
overrides the policy set by default for a particular chain.
The doc.go files and the sample-btcd.conf file have been updated to document
the new flags exposing further policy control.
This modifies the config for the new mempool package such that it takes
a callback function to obtain the best chain height instead of requiring
a fully initialized blockchain.BlockChain instance.
This will make it much easier to test the mempool since the tests will
be able to provide their own height function to test various
functionality without having create and manipulate full blocks and chain
instances.
This does the minimum work necessary to refactor the mempool code into
its own package. The idea is that separating this code into its own
package will greatly improve its testability, allow independent
benchmarking and profiling, and open up some interesting opportunities
for future development related to the memory pool.
There are likely some areas related to policy 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:
- Create the new package
- Move several files into the new package:
- mempool.go -> mempool/mempool.go
- mempoolerror.go -> mempool/error.go
- policy.go -> mempool/policy.go
- policy_test.go -> mempool/policy_test.go
- Update mempool logging to use the new mempool package logger
- Rename mempoolPolicy to Policy (so it's now mempool.Policy)
- Rename mempoolConfig to Config (so it's now mempool.Config)
- Rename mempoolTxDesc to TxDesc (so it's now mempool.TxDesc)
- Rename txMemPool to TxPool (so it's now mempool.TxPool)
- Move defaultBlockPrioritySize to the new package and export it
- Export DefaultMinRelayTxFee from the mempool package
- Export the CalcPriority function from the mempool package
- Introduce a new RawMempoolVerbose function on the TxPool and update
the RPC server to use it
- Update all references to the mempool to use the package.
- Add a skeleton README.md
This reduces the mempool lock contention by removing an unnecessary
check when responding to a "mempool" request.
In particular, the code first gets a list of all transactions from the
mempool and then iterates them in order to construct the inventory
vectors and apply bloom filtering if it is enabled. Since it is
possible that the transaction was removed from the mempool by another
thread while that list is being iterated, the code was checking if each
transaction was still in the mempool. This is a pointless check because
the transaction might still be removed at any point after the check
anyways. For example, it might be removed after the mempool response
has been sent to the remote peer or even while the loop is still
iterating.
This rewrites the shutdown logic to simplify the shutdown signalling.
All cleanup is now run from deferred functions in the main function and
channels are used to signal shutdown either from OS signals or from
other subsystems such as the RPC server and windows service controller.
The RPC server has been modified to use a new channel for signalling
shutdown that is exposed via the RequestedProcessShutdown function
instead of directly calling Stop on the server as it previously did.
Finally, it adds a few checks for early termination during the main
start sequence so the process can be stopped without starting all the
subsystems if desired.
This is a backport of the equivalent logic from Decred with a few slight
modifications. Credits go to @jrick.
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
This adds support for serving headers instead of inventory messages in
accordance with BIP0130. btcd itself does not yet make use of the
feature when receiving data.
It is not the responsibility of mempool to relay transactions, so
return a slice of transactions accepted to the mempool due to the
passed transaction to the caller.
having 3 int32s above the uint64s in the struct
will cause misalignment for some 32-bit architectures.
see https://golang.org/pkg/sync/atomic/#pkg-note-BUG
This aligns bytesReceived and bytesSent.
This introduces a new indexing infrastructure for supporting optional
indexes using the new database and blockchain infrastructure along with
two concrete indexer implementations which provide both a
transaction-by-hash and a transaction-by-address index.
The new infrastructure is mostly separated into a package named indexers
which is housed under the blockchain package. In order to support this,
a new interface named IndexManager has been introduced in the blockchain
package which provides methods to be notified when the chain has been
initialized and when blocks are connected and disconnected from the main
chain. A concrete implementation of an index manager is provided by the
new indexers package.
The new indexers package also provides a new interface named Indexer
which allows the index manager to manage concrete index implementations
which conform to the interface.
The following is high level overview of the main index infrastructure
changes:
- Define a new IndexManager interface in the blockchain package and
modify the package to make use of the interface when specified
- Create a new indexers package
- Provides an Index interface which allows concrete indexes to plugin
to an index manager
- Provides a concrete IndexManager implementation
- Handles the lifecycle of all indexes it manages
- Tracks the index tips
- Handles catching up disabled indexes that have been reenabled
- Handles reorgs while the index was disabled
- Invokes the appropriate methods for all managed indexes to allow
them to index and deindex the blocks and transactions
- Implement a transaction-by-hash index
- Makes use of internal block IDs to save a significant amount of
space and indexing costs over the old transaction index format
- Implement a transaction-by-address index
- Makes use of a leveling scheme in order to provide a good tradeoff
between space required and indexing costs
- Supports enabling and disabling indexes at will
- Support the ability to drop indexes if they are no longer desired
The following is an overview of the btcd changes:
- Add a new index logging subsystem
- Add new options --txindex and --addrindex in order to enable the
optional indexes
- NOTE: The transaction index will automatically be enabled when the
address index is enabled because it depends on it
- Add new options --droptxindex and --dropaddrindex to allow the indexes
to be removed
- NOTE: The address index will also be removed when the transaction
index is dropped because it depends on it
- Update getrawtransactions RPC to make use of the transaction index
- Reimplement the searchrawtransaction RPC that makes use of the address
index
- Update sample-btcd.conf to include sample usage for the new optional
index flags
This commit is the first stage of several that are planned to convert
the blockchain package into a concurrent safe package that will
ultimately allow support for multi-peer download and concurrent chain
processing. The goal is to update btcd proper after each step so it can
take advantage of the enhancements as they are developed.
In addition to the aforementioned benefit, this staged approach has been
chosen since it is absolutely critical to maintain consensus.
Separating the changes into several stages makes it easier for reviewers
to logically follow what is happening and therefore helps prevent
consensus bugs. Naturally there are significant automated tests to help
prevent consensus issues as well.
The main focus of this stage is to convert the blockchain package to use
the new database interface and implement the chain-related functionality
which it no longer handles. It also aims to improve efficiency in
various areas by making use of the new database and chain capabilities.
The following is an overview of the chain changes:
- Update to use the new database interface
- Add chain-related functionality that the old database used to handle
- Main chain structure and state
- Transaction spend tracking
- Implement a new pruned unspent transaction output (utxo) set
- Provides efficient direct access to the unspent transaction outputs
- Uses a domain specific compression algorithm that understands the
standard transaction scripts in order to significantly compress them
- Removes reliance on the transaction index and paves the way toward
eventually enabling block pruning
- Modify the New function to accept a Config struct instead of
inidividual parameters
- Replace the old TxStore type with a new UtxoViewpoint type that makes
use of the new pruned utxo set
- Convert code to treat the new UtxoViewpoint as a rolling view that is
used between connects and disconnects to improve efficiency
- Make best chain state always set when the chain instance is created
- Remove now unnecessary logic for dealing with unset best state
- Make all exported functions concurrent safe
- Currently using a single chain state lock as it provides a straight
forward and easy to review path forward however this can be improved
with more fine grained locking
- Optimize various cases where full blocks were being loaded when only
the header is needed to help reduce the I/O load
- Add the ability for callers to get a snapshot of the current best
chain stats in a concurrent safe fashion
- Does not block callers while new blocks are being processed
- Make error messages that reference transaction outputs consistently
use <transaction hash>:<output index>
- Introduce a new AssertError type an convert internal consistency
checks to use it
- Update tests and examples to reflect the changes
- Add a full suite of tests to ensure correct functionality of the new
code
The following is an overview of the btcd changes:
- Update to use the new database and chain interfaces
- Temporarily remove all code related to the transaction index
- Temporarily remove all code related to the address index
- Convert all code that uses transaction stores to use the new utxo
view
- Rework several calls that required the block manager for safe
concurrency to use the chain package directly now that it is
concurrent safe
- Change all calls to obtain the best hash to use the new best state
snapshot capability from the chain package
- Remove workaround for limits on fetching height ranges since the new
database interface no longer imposes them
- Correct the gettxout RPC handler to return the best chain hash as
opposed the hash the txout was found in
- Optimize various RPC handlers:
- Change several of the RPC handlers to use the new chain snapshot
capability to avoid needlessly loading data
- Update several handlers to use new functionality to avoid accessing
the block manager so they are able to return the data without
blocking when the server is busy processing blocks
- Update non-verbose getblock to avoid deserialization and
serialization overhead
- Update getblockheader to request the block height directly from
chain and only load the header
- Update getdifficulty to use the new cached data from chain
- Update getmininginfo to use the new cached data from chain
- Update non-verbose getrawtransaction to avoid deserialization and
serialization overhead
- Update gettxout to use the new utxo store versus loading
full transactions using the transaction index
The following is an overview of the utility changes:
- Update addblock to use the new database and chain interfaces
- Update findcheckpoint to use the new database and chain interfaces
- Remove the dropafter utility which is no longer supported
NOTE: The transaction index and address index will be reimplemented in
another commit.
mempoolPolicy contains the values that configure the mempool policy.
This decouples the values from the internals of btcd to move closer
to a mempool package.
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.
When the RPC server is not running a buffered transaction notification
channel fills and eventually blocks. This commit ensures that the
channel continues to be drained irrespective of the RPC server status.
Dynamic ban scores consist of a persistent and a decaying component. The
persistent score can be used to create simple additive banning policies
simlar to those found in other bitcoin node implementations. The
decaying score enables the creation of evasive logic which handles
misbehaving peers (especially application layer DoS attacks) gracefully
by disconnecting and banning peers attempting various kinds of flooding.
Dynamic ban scores allow these two approaches to be used in tandem.
This pull request includes the following:
- Dynamic ban score type & functions, with tests for core functionality
- Ban score of connected peers can be queried via rpc (getpeerinfo)
- Example policy with decaying score increments on mempool and getdata
- Logging of misbehavior once half of the ban threshold is reached
- Banning logic can be disabled via configuration (enabled by default)
- User defined ban threshold can be set via configuration
This updates a couple of logging statements to use the serverPeer
instance instead of the embedded peer.Peer so they are consistent with
all of the other log statements.
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.
When a persistent peer is disconnected (for example due to a
network timeout), a connection retry is issued. The logic for
doing so failed to remove the peer from the peerState, causing
dead peer connections to fill the peerState. Since connections
in the peerState are counted towards the maxPeers limit, this
would cause btcd to eventually stop retrying connection.
This commit fixes the issue by properly removing the peer from
the peerState.
The CPU miner relies on the mempool, so the mempool has to be created
before calling the function to create the CPU miner. When PR #568
introduced the mempool config struct, it moved the mempool creation
after the miner creation, which leads to the CPU miner crashing due to
trying to access a nil mempool.
This move the CPU miner creation after the mempool creation
appropriately.
This creates a skeleton mining package that simply contains a few of the
definitions used by the mining and mempool code.
This is a step towards decoupling the mining code from the internals of
btcd and ultimately will house all of the code related to creating block
templates and CPU mining.
The main reason a skeleton package is being created before the full
blown package is ready is to avoid blocking mempool separation which
relies on these type definitions.
This fixes an issue introduced during the peer refactor where persistent
peers that failed the initial connection are not retried as intended.
It also improves the retry logic as follows:
- Make the retry handler goroutine simply use a for loop instead of
launching a new goroutine for each backoff attempt. Even though
goroutines are fairly cheap to create, it is much more efficient to
simply loop
- Change the retry handler to accept a flag if it is the initial attempt
- Rather than dividing the const interval by 2 everywhere and passing
the retry duration in, just half the constant and set the initial
duration to it in the retry handler
Finally, include the address of the peer in the error message when a new
outbound peer can't be created.
This introduces the concept of a mining policy struct which is used to
control block template generation instead of directly accessing the
config struct. This is a step toward decoupling the mining code from
the internals of btcd. Ultimately the intent is to create a separate
mining package.
When the peer code was refactored, the lists of peers were converted to
maps however the code which runs when a peer disconnects still iterates
them like a slice. This is no longer necessary since they are maps
which means the peer can simply be looked up by its ID.
Also, the old code was comparing the map entry and the peer being
removed by their pointers which could lead to potentially not properly
finding the peer. This issue is also resolved by this change since it
looks up the peer by its ID.
This modifies the IP parsing code to work with IPv6 zone ids. This is
needed since the net.ParseIP function does not allow zone ids even
though net.Listen does.
This commit introduces package peer which contains peer related features
refactored from peer.go.
The following is an overview of the features the package provides:
- Provides a basic concurrent safe bitcoin peer for handling bitcoin
communications via the peer-to-peer protocol
- Full duplex reading and writing of bitcoin protocol messages
- Automatic handling of the initial handshake process including protocol
version negotiation
- Automatic periodic keep-alive pinging and pong responses
- Asynchronous message queueing of outbound messages with optional
channel for notification when the message is actually sent
- Inventory message batching and send trickling with known inventory
detection and avoidance
- Ability to wait for shutdown/disconnect
- Flexible peer configuration
- Caller is responsible for creating outgoing connections and listening
for incoming connections so they have flexibility to establish
connections as they see fit (proxies, etc.)
- User agent name and version
- Bitcoin network
- Service support signalling (full nodes, bloom filters, etc.)
- Maximum supported protocol version
- Ability to register callbacks for handling bitcoin protocol messages
- Proper handling of bloom filter related commands when the caller does
not specify the related flag to signal support
- Disconnects the peer when the protocol version is high enough
- Does not invoke the related callbacks for older protocol versions
- Snapshottable peer statistics such as the total number of bytes read
and written, the remote address, user agent, and negotiated protocol
version
- Helper functions for pushing addresses, getblocks, getheaders, and
reject messages
- These could all be sent manually via the standard message output
function, but the helpers provide additional nice functionality such
as duplicate filtering and address randomization
- Full documentation with example usage
- Test coverage
In addition to the addition of the new package, btcd has been refactored
to make use of the new package by extending the basic peer it provides to
work with the blockmanager and server to act as a full node. The
following is a broad overview of the changes to integrate the package:
- The server is responsible for all connection management including
persistent peers and banning
- Callbacks for all messages that are required to implement a full node
are registered
- Logic necessary to serve data and behave as a full node is now in the
callback registered with the peer
Finally, the following peer-related things have been improved as a part
of this refactor:
- Don't log or send reject message due to peer disconnects
- Remove trace logs that aren't particularly helpful
- Finish an old TODO to switch the queue WaitGroup over to a channel
- Improve various comments and fix some code consistency cases
- Improve a few logging bits
- Implement a most-recently-used nonce tracking for detecting self
connections and generate a unique nonce for each peer
Also, update TravisCI goclean script to remove the special casing which
ignored 'Id' from the lint output since that exception is no longer
needed. It was previously required due to the old version of btcjson,
but that is no longer in the repo.
Introduce an ECDSA signature verification into btcd in order to
mitigate a certain DoS attack and as a performance optimization.
The benefits of SigCache are two fold. Firstly, usage of SigCache
mitigates a DoS attack wherein an attacker causes a victim's client to
hang due to worst-case behavior triggered while processing attacker
crafted invalid transactions. A detailed description of the mitigated
DoS attack can be found here: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/fixed-bitcoin-vulnerability-explanation-why-the-signature-cache-is-a-dos-protection/
Secondly, usage of the SigCache introduces a signature verification
optimization which speeds up the validation of transactions within a
block, if they've already been seen and verified within the mempool.
The server itself manages the sigCache instance. The blockManager and
txMempool respectively now receive pointers to the created sigCache
instance. All read (sig triplet existence) operations on the sigCache
will not block unless a separate goroutine is adding an entry (writing)
to the sigCache. GetBlockTemplate generation now also utilizes the
sigCache in order to avoid unnecessarily double checking signatures
when generating a template after previously accepting a txn to the
mempool. Consequently, the CPU miner now also employs the same
optimization.
The maximum number of entries for the sigCache has been introduced as a
config parameter in order to allow users to configure the amount of
memory consumed by this new additional caching.
SFNodeBloom is a new service flag that a node is required to use to
indicate that it supports bloom filtering. This includes a protocol
version bump to 70011 and a wire version bump to 0.3.0.
btcd:
The SFNodeBloom flag is set by default. A new configuration option
--nopeerbloomfilters has been added to to disable bloom filtering.
Any node advertising a version greater than or equal to 70011 that
attempts to use bloom filtering will be disconnected if bloom
filtering is disabled.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit afb0ccaf9c9e4e8fac7db3564c4e19c9218c6b03
The comment says "only allow recent nodes (10mins) after we failed 30 times",
but the server actually did the opposite and allowed only recent nodes before
30 failed connection attempts. This corrects the server's behavior.
This commit correctly replaces persistent peers that are being retried in
the list of persistent peers so it will continue to be retried as
intended.
Also, limit the maximum retry interval for persistent peers to 5 minutes.
Fixes#463.
* The cases for the 'addnode' command were previously
stacked on top the new cases for the 'node' command.
The intended behavior was to create a fall through and
handle both commands. However, trying to use this
syntax with a type switch caused the first case to be
ignored.
* addnode' specific functions and structs in the server
have been removed. Instead, the 'add' and 'del' subcommands
are now proxied to the matching 'node' cmd functions.
* Gives node operators full control of peer connectivity
* RPC adds ability to disconnect all matching non-persistent peers,
remove persistent peers, and connect to peers making them either
temporary or persistent.

This mimics Bitcoin Core commit c6a63ceeb4956933588995bcf01dc3095aaeb1fc
This commit contains three classes of optimizations:
- Reducing the number of unnecessary hash copies
- Improve the performance of the DoubleSha256 function
- A couple of minor optimizations of the ShaHash functions
The first class is a result of the Bytes function on a ShaHash making a
copy of the bytes before returning them. It really should have been named
CloneBytes, but that would break the API now.
To address this, a comment has been added to the function which explicitly
calls out the copy behavior. In addition, all call sites of .Bytes on a
ShaHash in the code base have been updated to simply slice the array when
a copy is not needed. This saves a significant amount of data copying.
The second optimization modifies the DoubleSha256 function to directly use
fastsha256.Sum256 instead of the hasher interface. This reduces the
number of allocations needed. A benchmark for the function has been added
as well.
old: BenchmarkDoubleSha256 500000 3691 ns/op 192 B/op 3 allocs/op
new: BenchmarkDoubleSha256 500000 3081 ns/op 32 B/op 1 allocs/op
The final optimizations are for the ShaHash IsEqual and SetBytes functions
which have been modified to make use of the fact the type is an array and
remove an unneeded subslice.
In order to avoid prior situations of stalled syncs due to
outdated peer height data, we now update block heights up peers in
real-time as we learn of their announced
blocks.
Updates happen when:
* A peer sends us an orphan block. We update based on
the height embedded in the scriptSig for the coinbase tx
* When a peer sends us an inv for a block we already know
of
* When peers announce new blocks. Subsequent
announcements that lost the announcement race are
recognized and peer heights are updated accordingly
Additionally, the `getpeerinfo` command has been modified
to include both the starting height, and current height of
connected peers.
Docs have been updated with `getpeerinfo` extension.
This commit converts the RPC server over to use the new features available
in the latest version of btcjson and improve a few things along the way.
This following summarizes the changes:
- All btcjson imports have been updated to the latest package version
- The help has been significantly improved
- Invoking help with no command specified now provides an alphabetized
list of all supported commands along with one-line usage
- The help for each command is automatically generated and provides much
more explicit information such as the type of each parameter, whether
or not it's optional or required, etc
- The websocket-specific commands are now provided when accessing the
help when connected via websockets
- Help has been added for all websocket-specific commands and is only
accessible when connected via websockets
- The error returns and handling of both the standard and websocket
handlers has been made consistent
- All RPC errors have been converted to the new RPCError type
- Various variables have been renamed for consistency
- Several RPC errors have been improved
- The commands that are marked as unimplemented have been moved into the
separate map where they belong
- Several comments have been improved
- An unnecessary check has been removed from the createrawtransaction
handler
- The command parsing has been restructured a bit to pave the way for
JSON-RPC 2.0 batching support
* Address index is built up concurrently with the `--addrindex` flag.
* Entire index can be deleted with `--dropaddrindex`.
* New RPC call: `searchrawtransaction`
* Returns all transacitons related to a particular address
* Includes mempool transactions
* Requires `--addrindex` to be activated and fully caught up.
* New `blockLogger` struct has been added to factor our common logging
code
* Wiki and docs updated with new features.
* When an inv is to be sent to the server for relaying, the sender
already has access to the underlying data. So
instead of requiring the relay to look up the data by
hash, the data is now coupled in the request message.
This commit uses the new MedianTimeSource API in btcchain to create a
median time source which is stored in the server and is fed time samples
from all remote nodes that are connected. It also modifies all call sites
which now require the the time source to pass it in.
This ensures we backoff when reconnecting to peers for which we don't
understand the replies, just like we do for peers we fail to connect to.
Closes#103
This commit implements full support for filtering based on the filterload,
filteradd, filterclear, and merkleblock messages introduced by BIP0037.
This allows btcd to work seamlessly with SPV wallets such as BitcoinJ.
Original code by @dajohi. Cleanup, bug fixes, and polish by @davecgh.
These changes are a joint effort between myself and @dajohi.

This commit does just enough to move the address manager into its own
package. Since it was not originally written as a package, it will
require a bit of refactoring and cleanup to turn it into a robust
package with a friendly API.
By putting each DNS seed in its own go routine, btcd can start connecting
to nodes as they are found instead of waiting for all seeds to respond. This
significantly speeds up startup time.
Additionally, logging was added to show how many addresses were fetched from
each seed.
This commits removes a number of golint warnings. There is a class of

This commit implements a built-in concurrent CPU miner that can be enabled
with the combination of the --generate and --miningaddr options. The
--blockminsize, --blockmaxsize, and --blockprioritysize configuration
options wich already existed prior to this commit control the block
template generation and hence affect blocks mined via the new CPU miner.
The following is a quick overview of the changes and design:
- Starting btcd with --generate and no addresses specified via
--miningaddr will give an error and exit immediately
- Makes use of multiple worker goroutines which independently create block
templates, solve them, and submit the solved blocks
- The default number of worker threads are based on the number of
processor cores in the system and can be dynamically changed at
run-time
- There is a separate speed monitor goroutine used to collate periodic
updates from the workers to calculate overall hashing speed
- The current mining state, number of workers, and hashes per second can
be queried
- Updated sample-btcd.conf file has been updated to include the coin
generation (mining) settings
- Updated doc.go for the new command line options
In addition the old --getworkkey option is now deprecated in favor of the
new --miningaddr option. This was changed for a few reasons:
- There is no reason to have a separate list of keys for getwork and CPU
mining
- getwork is deprecated and will be going away in the future so that means
the --getworkkey flag will also be going away
- Having the work 'key' in the option can be confused with wanting a
private key while --miningaddr make it a little more clear it is an
address that is required
Closes#137.

This commit resolves an issue where it was possible the block manager
could hang on shutdown due to inventory rebroadcasting. In particular, it
adds checks to prevent modification of the of rebroadcast inventory during
shutdown and adds a drain on the channel to ensure any outstanding
messages are discarded.
Found by @dajohi who also provided some of the code.
This commit, along with recent commits to btcnet and btcwire, expose a new
network that is intended to provide a private network useful for
simulation testing. To that end, it has the special property that it has
no DNS seeds and will actively ignore all addr and getaddr messages. It
will also not try to connect to any nodes other than those specified via
--connect. This allows the network to remain private to the specific
nodes involved in the testing and not simply become another public
testnet.
The network difficulty is also set extremely low like the regression test
network so blocks can be created extremely quickly without requiring a lot
of hashing power.
This change modifies the params struct to embed a *btcnet.Params,
removing the old parameter fields that are handled by the btcnet
package.
Hardcoded network checks have also been removed in favor of modifying
behavior based on the current active net's parameters.
Not all library packages, notable btcutil and btcchain, have been
updated to use btcnet yet, but with this change, each package can be
updated one at a time since the active net's btcnet.Params are
available at each callsite.

In practise the races caused by not protecting these quite simply didn't
matter, they couldn't actually cause any damage whatsoever. However, I
am sick of hearing about these essentially false positivies whenever
someone runs the race detector (yes, i know that race detector has no
false positives but this was effectively harmess).

This commit cleans up and moves a couple of comments in the recent pull
request which implements a rebroadcast handler (#114) in order to avoid
discussing internal state in the exported function comment.
How a function actually accomplishes the stated functionality is not
something that a caller is concerned with. The details about the internal
state are better handled with comments inside the function body.
This commit implements a rebroadcast handler which deals with
rebroadcasting inventory at a random time interval between 0 and 30
minutes. It then uses the new rebroadcast logic to ensure transactions
which were submitted via the sendrawtransaction RPC are rebroadcast until
they make it into a block.
Closes#99.
Rather than using a type specifically in btcd for the getpeerinfo, this
commit, along with a recent commit to btcjson, changes the code over to
use the type from btcjson. This is more consistent with other RPC results
and provides a few extra benefits such as the ability for btcjson to
automatically unmarshal the results into a concrete type with proper field
types as opposed to a generic interface.
Recent commits to the reference implementation have changed the syncnode
field to be present in the getpeerinfo RPC even when it is false. This
commit changes btcd to match.
This commit changes the server byte counters over to use a mutex instead
of the atomic package. The atomic.AddUint64 function requires the struct
fields to be 64-bit aligned on 32-bit platforms. The byte counts are
fields in the server struct and are not 64-bit aligned. While it would be
possible to arrange the fields to be aligned through various means, it
would make the code too fragile for my tastes. I prefer code that doesn't
depend on platform specific alignment.
Fixes#96.
Previously the getnettotals was just looping through all of the currently
connected peers to sum the byte counts and returning that. However, the
intention of the getnettotals RPC is to get all bytes since the server was
started, so this logic was not correct.
This commit modifies the code to keep an atomic counter on the server for
bytes read/written and has each peer update the server counters as well as
the per-peer counters.
This commit adds byte counters to each peer using the new btcwire
ReadMessageN and WriteMessageN functions to obtain the number of bytes
read and written, respectively. It also returns those byte counters via
the PeerInfo struct which is used to populate the RPC getpeerinfo reply.
Closes#83.
Rather than having the iterator functions a separate entities that access
the state to iterate, just expose the iterators as receivers on the state
itself. This is more consistent with the style used throughout the code
and the other receivers on the state such as Count, OutboundCount, etc.
This commit adds full support for the getaddednodeinfo RPC command
including DNS lookups which abide by proxy/onion/tor rules when the DNS
flag is specified. Note that it returns an array of strings when the DNS
flag is not set which is different than the current version of bitcoind
which is bugged and scheduled to be fixed per issue 3581 on the bitcoind
issue tracker.
This implements --onion (and --onionuser/--onionpass) that enable a
different proxy to be used to connect to .onion addresses. If no main
proxy is supplied then no proxy will be used for non-onion addresses.
Additionally we add --noonion that blocks connection attempts to .onion
addresses entirely (and avoids using tor for proxy dns lookups).
the --tor option has been supersceded and thus removed.
Closes#47
The fields of the PeerInfo should not have been marked omit as the only
ones that should be omitted to for compatibility are the SyncNode and
BanScore fields.
In order to match the Satohsi client, the return is supposed to be an
8-digit string representation of the services instead of the actual
services numeric value.
since we don't wait for peers, this largely just waits for the server procs
themselves to die. Unless the entire server is wedged (which is what kill -9 is
for) this should always shut down fairly swiftly.
This should mean we sync addrmanager and disestablish upnp correctly on
interrupt.
Discussed with davec.
This code borrows and fixes up a chunk of code to handle upnp from
Taipei-Torrent (https://github.com/jackpal/Taipei-Torrent), under
current versions of go none of the xml parsing was working correctly.
This fixes that and also refactors the SOAP code to be a little nicer by
stripping off the soap containers. It is still rather rough but seems to
correctly redirect ports and advertise the correct address.
Upnp is not run by default. --upnp will enable it, but it will still not
run if we are not listening or if --externalip is in use.
Closes#51
This implements only the bare bones of external ip address selection
using very similar algorithms and selection methods to bitcoind. Every
address we bind to, and if we bind to the wildcard, every listening
address is recorded, and one for the appropriate address type of the
peer is selected.
Support for fetching addresses via upnp, external services, or via the
command line are not yet implemented.
Closes#35
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
This allows the provision of address/port pairs to be listened on instead
of just providing the port. e.g.:
btcd --listen 1.2.3.4:4321 --listen 127.0.0.01 --listen [::1]:5432
When --proxy and --connect are used, we disable listening *unless* any --listen
arguments have been provided, when we will listen on those addresses as
requested.
Initial code by davec, integration by myself.
Closes#33
allow listens to fail, but warn. error if all failed
fmt
persistentpeers and outbound(nonpersistent) peers get their own lists,
so iterating over them can be much simpler (and quicker when you have
125 peer of which 8 are outbound).
We have a channel for queries and commands in server, where we pass in
args and the channel to reply from, let rpcserver use these interfaces
to provide the requistie information.
So far not all of the informaation is 100% correct, the syncpeer
information needs to be fetched from blockmanager, the subversion isn't
recorded and the number of bytes sent and recieved needs to be obtained
from btcwire. The rest should be correct.
If we don't hear from a peer for 5 minutes, we disconnect them. To keep
traffic flowing we send a ping every 2 minutes if we have not send any
other message that should get a reply.
This commit is a first pass at improving the logging. It changes a number
of things to improve the readability of the output. The biggest addition
is message summaries for each message type when using the debug logging
level.
There is sitll more to do here such as allowing the level of each
subsystem to be independently specified, syslog support, and allowing the
logging level to be changed run-time.
Also, the loops which only remove a single element and break or return
don't need the extra logic for iteration since they don't continue
iteration after removal.
It is not safe to remove an item from a container/list while iterating the
list without first saving the next pointer since removing the item nils
the internal list element's next pointer.
This commit is a rather large one which implements transaction pool and
relay according to the protocol rules of the reference implementation.
It makes use of btcchain to ensure the transactions are valid for the
block chain and includes several stricter checks which determine if they
are "standard" or not before admitting them into the pool and relaying
them.
There are still a few TODOs around the more strict rules which determine
which transactions are willing to be mined, but the core checks which
are imperative (everything except the all of the "standard" checks really)
to operate as a good citizen on the bitcoin network are in place.
Rather than having all of the various places that print peer figure out
the direction and form the string, centralize it by implementing the
Stringer interface on the peer.
Only log errors for most cases if the peer is persisent (and thus requested).
Only log by default after version exchange, and after losing a peer that had
completed version exchange. Make most other messages debug.
We would occasionally hang or a while during server shudown, this is due
to an outbound peer waiting on a connection or a sleep. However, we
don't actually require to wait for the peers to finish at all. So just
let them finish.
Secondly, make peer.disconnnect and server.shutdown atomic varaibles so
that checking them from multiple goroutines isn't race, and clean up
their usage.
- Remove leftover debug log prints
- Increment waitgroup outside of goroutine
- Various comment and log message consistency
- Combine peer setup and newPeer -> newInboundPeer
- Save and load peers.json to/from cfg.DataDir
- Only claim addrmgr needs more addresses when it has less than 1000
- Add warning if unkown peer on orphan block.
Use it to add multiple peer support. We try and keep 8 outbound peers
active at all times.
This address manager is not as complete as the one in bitcoind yet, but
additional functionality is being worked on.
We currently handle (in a similar manner to bitcoind):
- biasing between new and already tried addresses based on number of connected
peers.
- rejection of non-default ports until desparate
- address selection probabilities based on last successful connection and number
of failures.
- routability checks based on known unroutable subnets.
- only connecting to each network `group' once at any one time.
We currently lack support for:
- tor ``addresses'' (an .onion address encoded in 64 bytes of ip address)
- full state save and restore (we just save a json with the list of known
addresses in it)
- multiple buckets for new and tried addresses selected by a hash of address and
source. The current algorithm functions the same as bitcoind would with only
one bucket for new and tried (making the address cache rather smaller than it
otherwise would be).
This commit changes the code so that all calls to .Add on waitgroups
happen before the associated goroutines are launched. Doing this after
the goroutine could technically cause a race where the goroutine started
and finished before the main goroutine has a chance to increment the
counter. In our particular case none of the goroutines exit quickly
enough for this to be an issue, but nevertheless the correct way should be
used.
This commit adds support for relaying blocks between peers. It keeps
track of inventory that has either already been advertised to remote peers
or advertised by remote peers using a size-limited most recently used
cache. This helps avoid relaying inventory the peer already knows as
much as possible while not allowing rogue peers to eat up arbitrary
amounts of memory with bogus inventory.
The commit reworks the server statup and shutdown sequence to ensure the
server can always shutdown cleanly. The peer code depends on being able
to send messages to the address and block managers, so they need to have
their lifecycle tied to the peer handler to prevent issues with
asynchronous shutdown order.
