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.
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.
The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer
allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links and now
requires a newline in between anchors and other formatting. This
updates all of the markdown files accordingly.
While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in some of the
README.md files.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
This implementation ensures that all addresses have an equal chance of
being included in the addr message. It also moves the pseudorandom number
generator seeding to package level so that it can be overridden for
testing if required.
The getaddr msg is usually replied to with an addr msg, but if
the other peer does not have any addresses to share it will not
reply at all (instead of replying with an addr msg with 0 addresses).
Therefore, the getaddr msg is not guaranteed a reply, so this commit
removes it from stall detection to avoid incorrectly kicking
such peers.
In case of an error during protocol negotiation in handleVersionMsg,
immediately break out and prevent further processing of OnVersion
listener which generally depends upon peer attributes like NA to be set
during the negotiation. Fixes#579.
