Taking two instances of the same mutex may be totally fine, but it
requires a total lockorder that we cannot (trivially) check. Thus,
its generally unsafe to do if we can avoid it.
To discourage doing this, here we default to panicing on such locks
in our lockorder tests, with a separate lock function added that is
clearly labeled "unsafe" to allow doing so when we can guarantee a
total lockorder.
This requires adapting a number of sites to the new API, including
fixing a bug this turned up in `ChannelMonitor`'s `PartialEq` where
no lockorder was guaranteed.
Our existing lockorder tests assume that a read lock on a thread
that is already holding the same read lock is totally fine. This
isn't at all true. The `std` `RwLock` behavior is
platform-dependent - on most platforms readers can starve writers
as readers will never block for a pending writer. However, on
platforms where this is not the case, one thread trying to take a
write lock may deadlock with another thread that both already has,
and is attempting to take again, a read lock.
Worse, our in-tree `FairRwLock` exhibits this behavior explicitly
on all platforms to avoid the starvation issue.
Thus, we shouldn't have any special handling for allowing recursive
read locks, so we simply remove it here.
We currently have two codepaths on most channel update functions -
most methods return a set of messages to send a peer iff the
`ChannelMonitorUpdate` succeeds, but if it does not we push the
messages back into the `Channel` and then pull them back out when
the `ChannelMonitorUpdate` completes and send them then. This adds
a substantial amount of complexity in very critical codepaths.
Instead, here we swap all our channel update codepaths to
immediately set the channel-update-required flag and only return a
`ChannelMonitorUpdate` to the `ChannelManager`. Internally in the
`Channel` we store a queue of `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s, which will
become critical in future work to surface pending
`ChannelMonitorUpdate`s to users at startup so they can complete.
This leaves some redundant work in `Channel` to be cleaned up
later. Specifically, we still generate the messages which we will
now ignore and regenerate later.
This commit updates the `ChannelMonitorUpdate` pipeline across all
the places we generate them.
Long ago, we used the `no_connection_possible` to signal that a
peer has some unknown feature set or some other condition prevents
us from ever connecting to the given peer. In that case we'd
automatically force-close all channels with the given peer. This
was somewhat surprising to users so we removed the automatic
force-close, leaving the flag serving no LDK-internal purpose.
Distilling the concept of "can we connect to this peer again in the
future" to a simple flag turns out to be ripe with edge cases, so
users actually using the flag to force-close channels would likely
cause surprising behavior.
Thus, there's really not a lot of reason to keep the flag,
especially given its untested and likely to be broken in subtle
ways anyway.
In the next commit(s) we'll start holding `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s
that are being persisted in `Channel`s until they're done
persisting. In order to do that, switch to applying the updates by
reference instead of value.
This is purely a refactor that does not change the InitFeatures
advertised by a ChannelManager. This allows users to configure which
features should be advertised based on the values of `UserConfig`. While
there aren't any existing features currently leveraging this behavior,
it will be used by the upcoming anchors_zero_fee_htlc_tx feature.
The UserConfig dependency on provided_init_features caused most
callsites of the main test methods responsible for opening channels to
be updated. This commit foregos that completely by no longer requiring
the InitFeatures of each side to be provided to these methods. The
methods already require a reference to each node's ChannelManager to
open the channel, so we use that same reference to obtain their
InitFeatures. A way to override such features was required for some
tests, so a new `override_init_features` config option now exists on
the test harness.
Since `ChannelMonitor`s will now re-derive signers rather than
persisting them, we can no longer use the OnlyReadsKeysInterface
concrete implementation.
When we process a `channel_reestablish` message we free the HTLC
update holding cell as things may have changed while we were
disconnected. However, some time ago, to handle freeing from the
holding cell when a monitor update completes, we added a holding
cell freeing check in `get_and_clear_pending_msg_events`. This
leaves the in-`channel_reestablish` holding cell clear redundant,
as doing it immediately or is `get_and_clear_pending_msg_events` is
not a user-visible difference.
Thus, we remove the redundant code here, substantially simplifying
`handle_chan_restoration_locked` while we're at it.
Asserting that specific log entries were printed isn't all that
useful, we should really be focusing on the expected messages (or,
when a monitor udpate fails, the lack thereof). In the next commit
one of these log checks would otherwise break due to the particular
time a monitor update fails changing, but I also plan on reworking
the montior update flows substantially soon, breaking lots of them.
In c986e52ce8, an `MppId` was added
to `HTLCSource` objects as a way of correlating HTLCs which belong
to the same payment when the `ChannelManager` sees an HTLC
succeed/fail. This allows it to have awareness of the state of all
HTLCs in a payment when it generates the ultimate user-facing
payment success/failure events. This was used in the same PR to
avoid generating duplicative success/failure events for a single
payment.
Because the field was only used as an internal token to correlate
HTLCs, and retries were not supported, it was generated randomly by
calling the `KeysInterface`'s 32-byte random-fetching function.
This also provided a backwards-compatibility story as the existing
HTLC randomization key was re-used for older clients.
In 28eea12bbe `MppId` was renamed to
the current `PaymentId` which was then used expose the
`retry_payment` interface, allowing users to send new HTLCs which
are considered a part of an existing payment.
At no point has the payment-sending API seriously considered
idempotency, a major drawback which leaves the API unsafe in most
deployments. Luckily, there is a simple solution - because the
`PaymentId` must be unique, and because payment information for a
given payment is held for several blocks after a payment
completes/fails, it represents an obvious idempotency token.
Here we simply require the user provide the `PaymentId` directly in
`send_payment`, allowing them to use whatever token they may
already have for a payment's idempotency token.
As we're moving towards monitor update async being a supported
use-case, we shouldn't call an async monitor update "failed", but
rather "in progress". This simply updates the internal channel.rs
enum name to reflect the new thinking.
If the initial ChannelMonitor persistence is done asynchronously
but does not complete before the node restarts (with a
ChannelManager persistence), we'll start back up with a channel
present but no corresponding ChannelMonitor.
Because the Channel is pending-monitor-update and has not yet
broadcasted its initial funding transaction or sent channel_ready,
this is not a violation of our API contract nor a safety violation.
However, the previous code would refuse to deserialize the
ChannelManager treating it as an API contract violation.
The solution is to test for this case explicitly and drop the
channel entirely as if the peer disconnected before we received
the funding_signed for outbound channels or before sending the
channel_ready for inbound channels.
When a `chain::Watch` `ChannelMonitor` update method is called, the
user has three options:
(a) persist the monitor update immediately and return success,
(b) fail to persist the monitor update immediately and return
failure,
(c) return a flag indicating the monitor update is in progress and
will complete in the future.
(c) is rather harmless, and in some deployments should be expected
to be the return value for all monitor update calls, but currently
requires returning `Err(ChannelMonitorUpdateErr::TemporaryFailure)`
which isn't very descriptive and sounds scarier than it is.
Instead, here, we change the return type used to be a single enum
(rather than a Result) and rename `TemporaryFailure`
`UpdateInProgress`.
See doc updates for more info on the edge case this prevents, and
there isn't really a strong reason why we would need to broadcast
the latest state immediately. Specifically, in the case of HTLC
claims (the most important reason to ensure we have state on chain
if it cannot be persisted), we will still force-close if there are
HTLCs which need claiming and are going to expire.
Surprisingly, there were no tests which failed as a result of this
change, but a new one has been added.
In the next commit we'll enforce counterparty `InitFeatures`
matching our required set in `ChannelManager`, implying they must
be set for many tests where they previously did not need to be (as
they were enforced in `PeerManager`, which is not used in
functional tests).
When we connect to a new peer, immediately send them any
channel_announcement and channel_update messages for any public
channels we have with other peers. This allows us to stop sending
those messages on a timer when they have not changed and ensures
we are sending messages when we have peers connected, rather than
broadcasting at startup when we have no peers connected.
The `rejected_by_dest` field of the `PaymentPathFailed` event has
always been a bit of a misnomer, as its really more about retry
than where a payment failed. Now is as good a time as any to
rename it.
If a user restores from a backup that they know is stale, they'd
like to force-close all of their channels (or at least the ones
they know are stale) *without* broadcasting the latest state,
asking their peers to do so instead. This simply adds methods to do
so, renaming the existing `force_close_channel` and
`force_close_all_channels` methods to disambiguate further.
As like the previous commit, `commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is another
static field that cannot change after the initial channel handshake. We
therefore move it out from its existing place in `ChannelConfig`.
NetGraphMsgHandler implements RoutingMessageHandler to handle gossip
messages defined in BOLT 7 and maintains a view of the network by
updating NetworkGraph. Rename it to P2PGossipSync, which better
describes its purpose, and to contrast with RapidGossipSync.
