We didn't really have test coverage for these parsing functions, so
I went and made some. These tests also verify that the parsing
functions set the list of invalid digests correctly.
One pain point in evolving the Tor design and implementing has been
adding code that makes clients reject directory documents that they
previously would have accepted, if those descriptors actually exist.
When this happened, the clients would get the document, reject it,
and then decide to try downloading it again, ad infinitum. This
problem becomes particularly obnoxious with authorities, since if
some authorities accept a descriptor that others don't, the ones
that don't accept it would go crazy trying to re-fetch it over and
over. (See for example ticket #9286.)
This patch tries to solve this problem by tracking, if a descriptor
isn't parseable, what its digest was, and whether it is invalid
because of some flaw that applies to the portion containing the
digest. (This excludes RSA signature problems: RSA signatures
aren't included in the digest. This means that a directory
authority can still put another directory authority into a loop by
mentioning a descriptor, and then serving that descriptor with an
invalid RSA signatures. But that would also make the misbehaving
directory authority get DoSed by the server it's attacking, so it's
not much of an issue.)
We already have a mechanism to mark something undownloadable with
downloadstatus_mark_impossible(); we use that here for
microdescriptors, extrainfos, and router descriptors.
Unit tests to follow in another patch.
Closes ticket #11243.
Fix an instance of integer overflow in format_time_interval() when
taking the absolute value of the supplied signed interval value.
Fixes bug 13393.
Create unit tests for format_time_interval().
Preserve previous semantics of src/test/test-network.sh by exiting with
the exit status of chutney verify, even though the latest version ends
with chutney stop.
If (GNU) Make 3.81 is running processes in parallel using -j2 (or more),
it waits until all descendent processes have exited before it returns to
the shell.
When a command like "make -j2 test-network" is run, this means that
test-network.sh apparently hangs until it either make is forcibly
terminated, or all the chutney-launched tor processes have exited.
A workaround is to use make without -j, or make -j1 if there is an
existing alias to "make -jn" in the shell.
We resolve this bug in tor by using "chutney stop" after "chutney verify"
in test-network.sh.
Cases that now send errors:
* Malformed IP address (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* CONNECT/RESOLVE request with IP, when SafeSocks is set
(SOCKS5_NOT_ALLOWED)
* RESOLVE_PTR request with FQDN (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)
* Malformed FQDN (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* Unknown address type (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)
Fixes bug 13314.
Add a --delay option to test-network.sh, which configures the delay before
the chutney network tests for data transmission. The default remains at
18 seconds if the argument isn't specified.
Apparently we should be using bootstrap status for this (eventually).
Partially implements ticket 13161.
The default shell on OS X is bash, which has a builtin echo. When called
in "sh" mode, this echo does not accept "-n". This patch uses "/bin/echo -n"
instead.
Partially fixes issue 13161.
When a spawned process forks, fails, then exits very quickly, (this
typically occurs when exec fails), there is a race condition between the
SIGCHLD handler updating the process_handle's fields, and checking the
process status in those fields. The update can occur before or after the
spawn tests check the process status.
We check whether the process is running or not running (rather than just
checking if it is running) to avoid this issue.
