Traits in top-level modules is somewhat confusing - generally
top-level modules are just organizational modules and don't contain
things themselves, instead placing traits and structs in
sub-modules. Further, its incredibly awkward to have a `scorer`
sub-module, but only have a single struct in it, with the relevant
trait it is the only implementation of somewhere else. Not having
`Score` in the `scorer` sub-module is further confusing because
it's the only module anywhere that references scoring at all.
Currently, we write out the Channel's `ChannelTypeFeatures` as an
odd type, implying clients which don't understand the
`ChannelTypeFeatures` field can simply ignore it. This is obviously
nonsense if the channel type is some future version - the client
needs to fail to deserialize as it doesn't understand the channel's
type.
We adapt the serialization logic here to only write out the
`ChannelTypeFeatures` field if it is something other than
only-static-remote-key, and simply consider that "default" (as it
is the only supported type today). Then, we write out the channel
type as an even TLV, implying clients which do not understand it
must fail to read the `Channel`.
Note that we do not need to bother reserving the TLV type no longer
written as it never appeared in a release (merged post-0.0.103).
We currently assume our counterparty is naive and misconfigured and
may force-close a channel to get an HTLC we just forwarded them.
There shouldn't be any reason to do this - we don't have any such
bug, and we shouldn't start by assuming our counterparties are
buggy. Worse, this results in refusing to forward payments today,
failing HTLCs for largely no reason.
Instead, we keep a fairly conservative check, but not one which
will fail HTLC forwarding spuriously - testing only that the HTLC
doesn't expire for a few blocks from now.
Fixes#1114.
If we send a payment and fail to update the first-hop channel state
with a `PermanentFailure` ChannelMonitorUpdateErr, we would have an
entry in our pending payments map, but possibly not return the
PaymentId back to the user to retry the payment, leading to a (rare
and relatively minor) memory leak.
I realized on my own node that I don't have any visibility into how
long a monitor or manager persistence call takes, potentially
blocking other operations. This makes it much more clear by adding
a relevant log_trace!() print immediately before and immediately
after persistence.
Scorer uses time to determine how much to penalize a channel after a
failure occurs. Parameterizing it by time cleans up the code such that
no-std support is in a single AlwaysPresent struct, which implements the
Time trait. Time is implemented for std::time::Instant when std is
available.
This parameterization also allows for deterministic testing since a
clock could be devised to advance forward as needed.
NetworkGraph is owned by NetGraphMsgHandler, but DefaultRouter requires
a reference to it. Introduce shared ownership to NetGraphMsgHandler so
that both can use the same NetworkGraph.
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.
This ensures we don't let a hung connection stick around forever if
the peer never completes the initial handshake.
This also resolves a race where, on receiving a second connection
from a peer, we may reset their_node_id to None to prevent sending
messages even though the `channel_encryptor`
`is_ready_for_encryption()`. Sending pings only checks the
`channel_encryptor` status, not `their_node_id` resulting in an
`unwrap` on `None` in `enqueue_message`.
An upcoming Router interface will be used for finding a Route both when
initially sending a payment and also when retrying failed payment paths.
Unify the three varieties of get_route so the interface can consist of a
single method implemented by the new `find_route` method. Give get_route
pub(crate) visibility so it can still be used in tests.
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.
When a payment path fails, it may be retried. Typically, this means
re-computing the route after updating the NetworkGraph and channel
scores in order to avoid the failing hop. The last hop in
PaymentPathFailed's path field contains the pubkey, amount, and CLTV
values needed to pass to get_route. However, it does not contain the
payee's features and route hints from the invoice.
Include the entire set of parameters in PaymentPathRetry and add it to
the PaymentPathFailed event. Add a get_retry_route wrapper around
get_route that takes PaymentPathRetry. This allows an EventHandler to
retry failed payment paths using the payee's route hints and features.
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.
This implements the channel type negotiation, though as we currently
only support channels with only static_remotekey set, it doesn't
implement the negotiation explicitly.
Its semantics are somewhat different from existing features,
however not enough to merit a different struct entirely.
Specifically, it only supports required features (if you send a
channel_type, the counterparty has to accept it wholesale or try
again, it cannot select only a subset of the flags) and it is
serialized differently (only appearing in TLVs).
If we go to send a payment, add the HTLC(s) to the channel(s),
commit the ChannelMonitor updates to disk, and then crash, we'll
come back up with no pending payments but HTLC(s) ready to be
claim/failed.
This makes it rather impractical to write a payment sender/retryer,
as you cannot guarantee atomicity - you cannot guarantee you'll
have retry data persisted even if the HTLC(s) are actually pending.
Because ChannelMonitors are *the* atomically-persisted data in LDK,
we lean on their current HTLC data to figure out what HTLC(s) are a
part of an outbound payment, rebuilding the pending payments list
on reload.
