With anchors, we've yet to change the frequency or aggressiveness of
feerate updates, so it's likely that commitment transactions have a
good enough feerate to confirm on its own. In any case, when producing a
child anchor transaction, we should already take into account the fees
paid by the commitment transaction itself, allowing the user to save
some satoshis. Unfortunately, in its current form, this will still
result in overpaying by a small margin at the expense of making the coin
selection API more complex.
There's no need to yield such an event when the commitment transaction
already meets the target feerate on its own, so we can simply broadcast
it without an anchor child transaction. This may be a common occurrence
until we are less aggressive about feerate updates.
In an older PR a reviewer had asked why the discarding of a channel
being blocked on another monitor update is okay if the blocked
channel has since closed. At the time, this was not actually okay -
the monitor updates in the channel weren't moved to the
`ChannelManager` on close so the whole pipeline was busted, but
with the changes in 4041f0899f the
handling of channel closes with pending monitor updates is now
correct, and so is the existing code block.
If a `ChannelMonitorUpdate` completes being persisted, but the
`ChannelManager` isn't informed thereof (or isn't persisted) before
shutdown, on startup we may still have it listed as in-flight. When
we compare the available `ChannelMonitor` with the in-flight set,
we'll notice it completed and remove it, however this may leave
some post-update actions dangling which need to complete.
Here we handle this with a new `BackgroundEvent` indicating we need
to handle any post-update action(s) for a given channel.
Historically, we used `vec_type` for all TLV Vec reads/writes, but
it is asymmetric and thus somewhat confusing - on the write side it
always writes a TLV entry, even if there are zero elements. On the
read side, it happily accepts a missing TLV, providing a
zero-length vector.
In 85b573ddad a new `optional_vec`
TLV format was added which was symmetric, but only supports
optional vecs.
Now that we've migrated entirely to the new `required_vec` TLV
type, we can entirely remove the awkward `vec_type`.
* `HolderSignedTx::htlc_outputs` has always been written since it
was converted to TLVs in 86641ea680.
* `ChanelMonitorUpdateStep::*::htlc_outputs` have been written
since the enum was converted to TLVs in 86641ea680.
If a channel has been closed, there may still be some
`ChannelMonitorUpdate`(s) which are pending completion. These
in-flight updates may also be blocking another channel from letting
an update fly, e.g. for forwarded payments where the payment
preimage will be removed from the downstream channel after the
upstream channel has closed.
Luckily all the infrastructure to handle this case is already in
place - we just need to process the
`monitor_update_blocked_actions` for closed channels.
We currently assume the owner of `ChannelMonitor`s won't persist
the `ChannelMonitor` while `Event`s are being processed. This is
fine, except (a) its generally hard to do so and (b) the
`ChainMonitor` doesn't even do this.
Thus, in rare cases, a user could begin processing events which
are, generated by connecting a transaction or a new best-block,
take some time to do so, and while doing so process a further chain
event, causing persistece. This could lose the event being
processed alltogether, which could lose the user funds.
This should be very rare, but may have been made slightly more
reachable with (a) the async event processing making it more
common to do networking in event handling, (b) the new future
generation in the `ChainMonitor`, which now wakes the
`background-processor` directly when chain actions happen on the
`ChainMonitor`.
This was a regression resulting from f2453b7 since we now process events
in a loop until there aren't any left. Processing events is done in
batches and they are not removed until we're done processing each batch.
Since handling a `PendingHTLCsForwardable` event will call back into the
`ChannelManager`, we'll still see the original forwarding event not
removed. Phantom payments will need an additional forwarding event
before being claimed to make them look real by taking more time.
Right now the only real way to verify the node and channel
announcements is to call `update_node_from_announcement`/
`update_channel_from_announcement`. If you want to do some
processing before you add to your network graph then you need to
manually verify the signature. This adds some nice helper functions
to make it easier.
I tried to do the same for channel update but it did not seem as
easy so figured that is fine to punt on since I don't see many
people doing manual things with channel updates.
Because `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s can complete asynchronously and
out-of-order now, a `commitment_signed` `ChannelMonitorUpdate` from
a downstream channel could complete prior to the preimage
`ChannelMonitorUpdate` on the upstream channel. In that case, we may
not get a `update_fulfill_htlc` replay on startup. Thus, we have to
ensure any payment preimages contained in that downstream update are
re-claimed on startup.
Here we do this during the existing walk of the `ChannelMonitor`
preimages for closed channels.

This commit makes use of the added enum to calculate the dust
exposure threshold based on the current fee rate. This also updates
tests to ensure it works as intended.
With fee rates rising dramatically in mid-April 2023, thresholds for
what is considered dust have risen, often exceeding our previous dust
exposure threshold of 5k sats. This causes all payments and HTLC
forwards between 5k sats and new dust thresholds to fail.
This commit changes our max dust exposure config knob from a fixed
upper limit to a `MaxDustHTLCExposure` enum with an additional variant
to allow setting our max dust exposure to a multiplier on the current
high priority feerate.
To remain backwards compatible we'll always write the fixed limit if
it's set, or its default value in its currently reserved TLV.
We also now write an odd TLV for the new enum, so that previous
versions can safely ignore it upon downgrading, while allowing us to
make use of the new type when it's written.
