As payments fail, the channel responsible for the failure may be
penalized. Implement Scorer::payment_path_failed to penalize the failed
channel using a configured penalty. As time passes, the penalty is
reduced using exponential decay, though penalties will accumulate if the
channel continues to fail. The decay interval is also configurable.
The payment_hash may not uniquely identify the payment if it has been
reused. Include the payment_id in PaymentSent events so it can
correlated with the send_payment call.
This stores and tracks HTLC payee information with HTLCSource info,
allowing us to provide it back to the user if the HTLC fails and
ensuring persistence by keeping it with the HTLC itself as it
passes between Channel and ChannelMonitor.
A payee can be identified by a pubkey and optionally have an associated
set of invoice features and route hints. Use this in get_route instead
of three separate parameters. This may be included in PaymentPathFailed
later to use when finding a new route.
Failed payments may be retried, but calling get_route may return a Route
with the same failing path. Add a routing::Score trait used to
parameterize get_route, which it calls to determine how much a channel
should be penalized in terms of msats willing to pay to avoid the
channel.
Also, add a Scorer struct that implements routing::Score with a constant
constant penalty. Subsequent changes will allow for more robust scoring
by feeding back payment path success and failure to the scorer via event
handling.
Exposing a `RwLock<HashMap<>>` directly was always a bit strange,
and in upcoming changes we'd like to change the internal
datastructure in `ChainMonitor`.
Further, the use of `RwLock` and `HashMap` meant we weren't able
to expose the ChannelMonitors themselves to users in bindings,
leaving a bindings/rust API gap.
Thus, we take this opportunity go expose ChannelMonitors directly
via a wrapper, hiding the internals of `ChainMonitor` behind
getters. We also update tests to use the new API.
The interface for get_route will change to take a scorer. Using
get_route_and_payment_hash whenever possible allows for keeping the
scorer inside get_route_and_payment_hash rather than at every call site.
Replace get_route with get_route_and_payment_hash wherever possible.
Additionally, update get_route_and_payment_hash to use the known invoice
features and the sending node's logger.
This makes it more practical for users to track channels prior to
funding, especially if the channel fails because the peer rejects
it for a parameter mismatch.
During the event of a channel close, if the funding transaction
is yet to be broadcasted then a DiscardFunding event is issued
along with the ChannelClose event.
When we detect a channel `is_shutdown()` or call on it
`force_shutdown()`, we notify the user with a Event::ChannelClosed
informing about the id and closure reason.
PaymentFailed events contain an optional NetworkUpdate describing
changes to the NetworkGraph as conveyed by a node along a failed payment
path according to BOLT 4. An EventHandler should apply the update to the
graph so that future routing decisions can account for it.
Implement EventHandler for NetGraphMsgHandler to update NetworkGraph.
Previously, NetGraphMsgHandler::handle_htlc_fail_channel_update
implemented this behavior.
MessageSendEvent::PaymentFailureNetworkUpdate served as a hack to pass
an HTLCFailChannelUpdate from ChannelManager to NetGraphMsgHandler via
PeerManager. Instead, remove the event entirely and move the contained
data (renamed NetworkUpdate) to Event::PaymentFailed to be processed by
an event handler.
Now that NetworkGraph uses interior mutability, the RwLock used around
it in NetGraphMsgHandler is no longer needed. This allows for shared
ownership without a lock.
This adds the new range-based closing_signed negotiation specified
in https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/pull/847 as
well as cleans up the existing closing_signed negotiation to unify
the new codepaths and the old ones.
Note that because the new range-based closing_signed negotiation
allows the channel fundee to ultimately select the fee out of a
range specified by the funder, which we, of course, always select
the highest allowed amount from. Thus, we've added an extra round
of closing_signed in the common case as we will not simply accept
the first fee we see, always preferring to make the funder pay as
much as they're willing to.
At `update_add_htlc()`/`send_htlc()`, we verify that the inbound/
outbound dust or the sum of both, on either sides of the link isn't
above new config setting `max_balance_dust_htlc_msat`.
A dust HTLC is hence defined as a trimmed-to-dust one, i.e including
the fee cost to publish its claiming transaction.
It is useful for accounting and informational reasons for users to
be informed when a payment has been successfully forwarded. Thus,
when an HTLC which represents a forwarded leg is claimed, we
generate a new `PaymentForwarded` event.
This requires some additional plumbing to return HTLC values from
`OnchainEvent`s. Further, when we have to go on-chain to claim the
inbound side of the payment, we do not inform the user of the fee
reward, as we cannot calculate it until we see what is confirmed
on-chain.

Private nodes should never wish to forward HTLCs at all, which we
support here by disabling forwards out over private channels by
default. As private nodes should not have any public channels, this
suffices, without allowing users to disable forwarding over
channels announced in the routing graph already.
Closes#969
Currently the base fee we apply is always the expected cost to
claim an HTLC on-chain in case of closure. This results in
significantly higher than market rate fees [1], and doesn't really
match the actual forwarding trust model anyway - as long as
channel counterparties are honest, our HTLCs shouldn't end up
on-chain no matter what the HTLC sender/recipient do.
While some users may wish to use a feerate that implies they will
not lose funds even if they go to chain (assuming no flood-and-loot
style attacks), they should do so by calculating fees themselves;
since they're already charging well above market-rate,
over-estimating some won't have a large impact.
Worse, we current re-calculate fees at forward-time, not based on
the fee we set in the channel_update. This means that the fees
others expect to pay us (and which they calculate their route based
on), is not what we actually want to charge, and that any attempt
to forward through us is inherently race-y.
This commit adds a configuration knob to set the base fee
explicitly, defaulting to 1 sat, which appears to be market-rate
today.
[1] Note that due to an msat-vs-sat bug we currently actually
charge 1000x *less* than the calculated cost.
If we are a public node and have a private channel, our
counterparty needs to know the fees which we will charge to forward
payments to them. Without sending them a channel_update, they have
no way to learn that information, resulting in the channel being
effectively useless for outbound-from-us payments.
This commit fixes our lack of channel_update messages to private
channel counterparties, ensuring we always send them a
channel_update after the channel funding is confirmed.
We had a user who pointed out that we weren't creating
`SpendableOutputs` events when we should have been after they
called `ChannelMonitor::best_block_updated` with a block well
after a CSV locktime and then called
`ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed` with the transaction which
we should have been spending (with a block height/hash a ways in
the past).
This was due to `ChannelMonitor::transactions_confirmed` only
calling `ChannelMonitor::block_confirmed` with the height at which
the transactions were confirmed, resulting in all checks being done
against that, not the current height.
Further, in the same scenario, we also would not fail-back and HTLC
where the HTLC-Timeout transaction was confirmed more than
ANTI_REORG_DELAY blocks ago.
To address this, we use the best block height for confirmation
threshold checks in `ChannelMonitor::block_confirmed` and pass both
the confirmation and current heights through to
`OnchainTx::update_claims_view`, using each as appropriate.
Fixes#962.
