Version 0.32.2 of `rust-bitcoin` deprecates a number of methods that
are commonly used in this project, most visibly `txid()`, which is
now called `compute_txid()`. This resulted in a lot of warnings, and
this commit is part of a series that seeks to address that.
Use the `hex-conservative` crate directly from `bitcoin` instead of from
`hashes`. Although it makes no real difference it is slightly more clear
and more terse.
The `hex` crate is re-exported by `rust-bitcoin` so we can get it from
there instead of explicitly depending on it. Doing so reduces the
maintenance burden and helps reduce the likelyhood of getting two
versions in the dependency graph.
The `rust-bitcoin` project is working towards making the public API
separate from the directory structure; eventually the
`bitcoin::blockdata` will go away, to make maintenance easier here stop
using the `blockdata` module.
Do not run the formatter, so as to make review easier. This patch was
created mechanically using:
search-and-replace bitcoin::blockdata bitcoin
and having defined
```bash
search-and-replace () {
if (($# != 2))
then
echo "Usage: $0 <this> <that>"
return
fi
local this="$1"
local that="$2"
for file in $(git grep -l "$this")
do
perl -pi -e "s/$this/$that/g" "$file"
done
}
```
`lightning-block-sync`'s REST and RPC clients both hold a cache for
a connected client to avoid the extra connection round-trip on each
request. Because only one client can be using a connection at once,
the connection is `take()`n out of an `Option` behind a `Mutex` and
if there isn't one present, we call `HttpClient::connect` to build
a new one.
However, this full logic is completed in one statement, causing a
client-cache lock to be held during `HttpClient::connect`. This
can turn into quite a bit of contention when using these clients as
gossip verifiers as we can create many requests back-to-back during
startup.
I noticed this as my node during startup only seemed to be
saturating one core and managed to get a backtrace that showed
several threads being blocked on this mutex when hitting a Bitcoin
Core node over REST that is on the same LAN, but not the same
machine.
This uses the newly introduced conditional configuration checks that are
now configurable withint Cargo (beta).
This allows us to get rid of our custom python script that checks for
expected features and cfgs.
This does introduce a warning regarding the unknown lint in Cargo
versions prior to the current beta, but since these are not rustc errors,
they won't break any builds with the "-D warnings" RUSTFLAG.
Moving to this lint actually exposed the "strict" feature not being
present in the lightning-invoice crate, as our python script didnt
correctly parse the cfg_attr where it appeared.
In 67659677d4 we relaxed the bounds
set on `UtxoLookup` to enable those using `RoutingMessageHandler`
other than `P2PGossipSync` to use `UtxoLookup`. Sadly, because this
requires having a concrete `PeerManager` type which does *not* use
`UtxoLookup` in the `RoutingMessageHandler` type, this broke users
who were directly using `P2PGossipSync`.
We could split `UtxoLookup` into two, with different bounds, for
the two use-cases, but instead here we simply switch to storing a
reference to the `PeerManager` via a `dyn Fn` which allows us to
wake the `PeerManager` when we need to.
Fixes#2813
ChainHash is more appropriate for places where an arbitrary BlockHash is
not desirable. This type was introduced in later versions of the bitcoin
crate, thus BlockHash was used instead.
Using ChainHash also makes it easier to check if ChannelManager is
compatible with an Offer.
Our tests should generally not rely on internet access, and should
not rely on the behavior of any given remote server. However, one
of the `endpoint_tests` in `lightning-block-sync::http` relied on
`foo.com` resolving to a single socket address, which both might
change in the future and makes our tests fail without internet.
The BOLT spec mandates that channels not be announced until they
have at least six confirmations. This is important to enforce not
because we particularly care about any specific DoS concerns, but
because if we do not we may have to handle reorgs of channel
funding transactions which change their SCID or have conflicting
SCIDs.
In LDK, we expect users operating nodes on the public network to
implement the `UtxoSource` interface in order to validate the
gossip they receive from the network.
Sadly, because the DoS attack of flooding a node's gossip store
isn't a common issue, and because we do not provide an
implementation off-the-shelf to make doing so easily, many of our
downstream users do not have a `UtxoSource` implementation.
In order to change that, here we implement an async `UtxoSource`
in the `lightning-block-sync` crate, providing one for users who
sync the chain from Bitcoin Core's RPC or REST interfaces.
