These options were added back in 0.1.2.5-alpha, but no longer make any
sense now that all directories support tunneled connections and
BEGIN_DIR cells. These options were on by default; now they are
always-on.
This is a fix for 10849, where TunnelDirConns 0 would break hidden
services -- and that bug arrived, I think, in 0.2.0.10-alpha.
This is a bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta, because 6b83b3b made directory
authorities remove themselves from the list of directory authorities to
upload to, but didn't suppress the warning in case they're the only
directory authority in the network.
(There is no longer meaningfully any such thing as a HS authority,
since we stopped uploading or downloading v0 hs descriptors in
0.2.2.1-alpha.)
Implements #10881, and part of #10841.
Apparently fedora currently has ECDH but not P224. This isn't a huge
deal, since we no longer use OpenSSL's P224 ever (see #9780 and
72c1e5acfe). But we shouldn't have segfaulting benchmarks really.
Fixes bug 10835; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
This time, we use a pthread_attr to make sure that if pthread_create
succeeds, the thread is successfully detached.
This probably isn't the big thing going on with 4345, since it'd be
a bit weird for pthread_detach to be failing. But it's worth
getting it right.
Right now this accounts for about 1% of circuits over all, but if you
pick a guard that's running 0.2.3, it will be about 6% of the circuits
running through that guard.
Making sure that every circuit has at least one ntor link means that
we're getting plausibly good forward secrecy on every circuit.
This implements ticket 9777,
It's possible to set your ExitNodes to contains only exits that don't
have the Exit flag. If you do that, we'll decide that 0 of your exits
are working. Instead, in that case we should look at nodes which have
(or which might have) exit policies that don't reject everything.
Fix for bug 10543; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
If you want a slow shutdown, send SIGNAL SHUTDOWN.
(Why not just have the default be SIGNAL QUIT? Because this case
should only happen when an owning controller has crashed, and a
crashed controller won't be able to give the user any "tor is
shutting down" feedback, and so the user gets confused for a while.
See bug 10449 for more info)
The remaining vestige is that we continue to publish the V2dir flag,
and that, for the controller, we continue to emit v2 directory
formats when requested.
Previously, we would sometimes decide in directory_get_from_hs_dir()
to connect to an excluded node, and then later in
directory_initiate_command_routerstatus_rend() notice that it was
excluded and strictnodes was set, and catch it as a stopgap.
Additionally, this patch preferentially tries to fetch from
non-excluded nodes even when StrictNodes is off.
Fix for bug #10722. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha (the v2 hidserv directory
system was introduced in e136f00ca). Reported by "mr-4".
If we don't, we can wind up with a wedged cpuworker, and write to it
for ages and ages.
Found by skruffy. This was a bug in 2dda97e8fd, a.k.a. svn
revision 402. It's been there since we have been using cpuworkers.
