The previous use of allowSelfConns prevented this, as users aren't able
to invoke peer.TstAllowSelfConns themselves due to being part of a test
file, which aren't exported at the library level, leading to a
"disconnecting peer connected to self" error upon establishing a mock
connection between two peers. By including the option at the config
level instead (false by default, prevents connections to self) we enable
users of the peer library to properly test the behavior of the peer.Peer
struct externally.
This modifies the UpdateLastBlockHeight function to ensure the new
height is after the existing height before updating it in order to
prevent it from going backwards so it properly matches the intent of the
function which is to report the latest known block height for the peer.
Without this change, the value will properly start out at the latest
known block height reported by the peer during version negotiation,
however, it will be set to lower values when syncing from the peer due
to requesting old blocks and blindly updating the height.
It also adds a test to ensure proper functionality.
This is a backport of https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1747
This modifies the OnVersion callback to allow a reject message to be
returned in which case the message will be sent to the peer and the peer
will be disconnected.
Backported from Decred.
The cfilter BIP specifies that the filter type is a uint8. The
current code encodes it correctly on the wire, but everywhere else,
it's treated as a boolean (false for basic filter, true for
extended). This commit corrects that to account for possible
additional filter types in the future. All package changes are
done in one commit as they're all interdependent. The following
packages are updated:
* blockchain/indexers
* btcjson
* peer
* wire
* main (server.go and rpcserver.go)
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
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 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 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 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.
Fixes a rare hang during peer tests due to the same connection being
used for different outbound peers. Also fixed passing a chan to
QueueMessage(..) which was not being waited on, so was not being used.
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
