The functions inside of the crypto.go file in chanbackup (like EncryptPayloadToWriter and DecryptPayloadFromReader) can be used by a lot of things outside of just the chanbackup package. We can't just reference them directly from the chanbackup package because it's likely that it would generate circular dependencies. Therefore we need to move these functions into their own package to be referenced by chanbackup and whatever new functionality that needs them
In this commit, we add an additional defense against starting up with an
invalid SCB state. With this commit, we'll now fail to start up if we're
unable to update or read the existing SCB state from disk. This will
prevent an lnd node from starting up with an invalid SCB file, an SCB
file it can't decrypt, or an SCB left over from another node.
In this commit, we fix a bug that could possibly cause a user's on disk
back up file to be wiped out, if they ever started _another_ lnd node
with different channel state. To remedy this, before we swap out the
channel state with what's on disk, we'll first read out the contents of
the on-disk SCB file and _combine_ that with what we have in memory.
Fixes#4377
In this commit, we modify the sub-swapper to update the set of backups
files time it's tarted. We do this to ensure that each time we start,
we're up to sync with the current set of open channels. This also ensure
that we'll create a new back up file if this is the first time we're
starting up with this new feature.
In this commit, we introduce the chanbackup.SubSwapper interface. It
takes a regular Swapper implementation (defined by the
chanbackup.SubSwapper) interface along with a chanbackup.ChannelNotifier
implementation. Given these two interfaces, we're able to be notified
when a new channel is opened or closed, and then use the Swapper to
atomically replace the on-disk channel back up. As a result, a Lightning
daemon can ensure that they alwayts have a up to date channels.backup on
disk that can safely be copied away by users and be used to restore
channel funds in the event of partial/total data loss.
