Sending a getheaders message with an empty locator and a stop hash
is a request for a single header by hash. The node will respond with
headers for blocks not in the main chain as well as those in the main
chain. To avoid fingerprinting, the node should, however, ignore
requests for headers on side branches that are too old.
Combine fLimitFree and fOverrideMempoolLimit into a single boolean:
bypass_limits. This is used to indicate that mempool limiting based on feerate
should be bypassed. It is used when readding transactions from a reorg and then
the mempool is trimmed to size after all transactions are added and they can be
evaluated in the context of their descendants. No changes to behavior.
There are a few too many edge-cases here to make this a scripted diff.
The following commits will move a few functions into PeerLogicValidation, where
the local connman instance can be used. This change prepares for that usage.
At startup, we choose one peer to serve us the headers chain, until
our best header is close to caught up. Disconnect this peer if more
than 15 minutes + 1ms/expected_header passes and our best header
is still more than 1 day away from current time.
This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
vToFetch is never used after declaration. When checked if not empty,
evaluation is always false. Best case scenario this is optimized by the
compiler, worst case it wastes cpu cycles. It should be removed either
way.
This simplifies fixing the wallet-returns-stale-info issue as we
can now hold cs_wallet across an entire block instead of only
per-tx (though we only actually do so in the next commit).
This change also removes the NOT_IN_BLOCK constant in favor of only
passing the CBlockIndex* parameter to SyncTransactions when a new
block is being connected, instead of also when a block is being
disconnected.
This change adds a parameter to BlockConnectedDisconnected which
lists the transactions which were removed from mempool due to
confliction as a result of this operation. While its somewhat of a
shame to make block-validation-logic generate a list of mempool
changes to be included in its generated callbacks, fixing this isnt
too hard.
Further in this change-set, CValidationInterface starts listening
to mempool directly, placing it in the middle and giving it a bit
of logic to know how to route notifications from block-validation,
mempool, etc (though not listening for conflicted-removals yet).
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
Remove -limitfreerelay and always enforce minRelayTxFee in the mempool (except from disconnected blocks)
Remove -relaypriority, the option was only used for the ability to allow free transactions to be relayed regardless of their priority. Both notions no longer apply.
In the case that the branch ...
if (itInFlight != mapBlocksInFlight.end() && itInFlight->second.first == nodeid) {
... is taken, there was prior to this commit an implicit assumption that
MarkBlockAsInFlight(...) was being called with its fifth and optional
argument (pit) being present (and non-NULL).
7a8c251901 made this logic hard to follow. After that change, messages would
not be sent to a peer via SendMessages() before the handshake was complete, but
messages could still be sent as a response to an incoming message.
For example, if a peer had not yet sent a verack, we wouldn't notify it about
new blocks, but we would respond to a PING with a PONG.
This change makes the behavior straightforward: until we've received a verack,
never send any message other than version/verack/reject.
The behavior until a VERACK is received has always been undefined, this change
just tightens our policy.
This also makes testing much easier, because we can now connect but not send
version/verack, and anything sent to us is an error.
Prior to this change, all messages were ignored until a VERSION message was
received, as well as possibly incurring a ban score.
Since REJECT messages can be sent at any time (including as a response to a bad
VERSION message), make sure to always parse them.
Moving this parsing up keeps it from being caught in the
if (pfrom->nVersion == 0) check below.
7a8c251901 made a change to avoid getting into SendMessages() until the
version handshake (VERSION + VERACK) is complete. That was done to avoid
leaking out messages to nodes who could connect, but never bothered sending
us their version/verack.
Unfortunately, the ban tally and possible disconnect are done as part of
SendMessages(). So after 7a8c251901, if a peer managed to do something
bannable before completing the handshake (say send 100 non-version messages
before their version), they wouldn't actually end up getting
disconnected/banned. That's fixed here by checking the banscore as part of
ProcessMessages() in addition to SendMessages().
These are (afaik) all long-standing races or concurrent accesses. Going
forward, we can clean these up so that they're not all individual atomic
accesses.
- Reintroduce cs_vRecv to guard receive-specific vars
- Lock vRecv/vSend for CNodeStats
- Make some vars atomic.
- Only set the connection time in CNode's constructor so that it doesn't change
This avoids having some vars set if the version negotiation fails.
Also copy it all into CNode at the same site. nVersion and
fSuccessfullyConnected are set last, as they are the gates for the other vars.
Make them atomic for that reason.
