Previously we did this based on the fraction of descriptors we
had. But really, we should be going based on what fraction of paths
we're able to build based on weighted bandwidth, since otherwise a
directory guard or two could make us behave quite oddly.
Implementation for feature 5956
If any circuits were opened during a scaling event, we were scaling attempts
and successes by different amounts. This leads to rounding error.
The fix is to record how many circuits are in a state that hasn't been fully
counted yet, and subtract that before scaling, and add it back afterwords.
Since they use RELAY_EARLY (which can be seen by all hops on the path),
it's not safe to say they actually count as a successful use.
There are also problems with trying to allow them to finish extending due to
the circuit purpose state machine logic. It is way less complicated (and
possibly more semantically coherent) to simply wait until we actually try to
do something with them before claiming we 'used' them.
Also, we shouldn't call timed out circuits 'used' either, for semantic
consistency.
An adversary could let the first stream request succeed (ie the resolve), but
then tag and timeout the remainder (via cell dropping), forcing them on new
circuits.
Rolling back the state will cause us to probe such circuits, which should lead
to probe failures in the event of such tagging due to either unrecognized
cells coming in while we wait for the probe, or the cipher state getting out
of sync in the case of dropped cells.
Path use bias measures how often we can actually succeed using the circuits we
actually try to use. It is a subset of path bias accounting, but it is
computed as a separate statistic because the rate of client circuit use may
vary depending on use case.
This is a minimal refactoring to expose the weighted bandwidth
calculations for each node so I can use them to see what fraction of
nodes, weighted by bandwidth, we have descriptors for.
This is ticket 7706, reported by "bugcatcher." The rationale here
is that if somebody says 'ExcludeNodes {tv}', then they probably
don't just want to block definitely Tuvaluan nodes: they also want
to block nodes that have unknown country, since for all they know
such nodes are also in Tuvalu.
This behavior is controlled by a new GeoIPExcludeUnknown autobool
option. With the default (auto) setting, we exclude ?? and A1 if
any country is excluded. If the option is 1, we add ?? and A1
unconditionally; if the option is 0, we never add them.
(Right now our geoip file doesn't actually seem to include A1: I'm
including it here in case it comes back.)
This feature only takes effect if you have a GeoIP file. Otherwise
you'd be excluding every node.
The implementation is pretty straightforward: parse_extended_hostname() is
modified to drop any leading components from an address like
'foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion'.

In 6fbdf635 we added a couple of statements like:
if (test) {
...
};
The extraneous semicolons there get flagged as worrisome empty
statements by the cparser library, so let's fix them.
Patch by Christian Grothoff; fixes bug 7115.
Otherwise, it's possible to create streams or circuits with these
bogus IDs, leading to orphaned circuits or streams, or to ones that
can cause bandwidth DOS problems.
Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on all released Tors.
In general, if we tried to use a circ for a stream, but then decided to place
that stream on a different circuit, we need to probe the original circuit
before deciding it was a "success".
We also need to do the same for cannibalized circuits that go unused.
This makes removing items from the middle of the queue into an O(1)
operation, which could prove important as we let onionqueues grow
longer.
Doing this actually makes the code slightly smaller, too.
The right way to set "MaxOnionsPending" was to adjust it until the
processing delay was appropriate. So instead, let's measure how long
it takes to process onionskins (sampling them once we have a big
number), and then limit the queue based on its expected time to
finish.
This change is extra-necessary for ntor, since there is no longer a
reasonable way to set MaxOnionsPending without knowing what mix of
onionskins you'll get.
This patch also reserves 1/3 of the onionskin spots for ntor
handshakes, on the theory that TAP handshakes shouldn't be allowed to
starve their speedier cousins. We can change this later if need be.
Resolves 7291.
The unit of work sent to a cpuworker is now a create_cell_t; its
response is now a created_cell_t. Several of the things that call or
get called by this chain of logic now take create_cell_t or
created_cell_t too.
Since all cpuworkers are forked or spawned by Tor, they don't need a
stable wire protocol, so we can just send structs. This saves us some
insanity, and helps p
As elsewhere, it makes sense when adding or extending a cell type to
actually make the code to parse it into a separate tested function.
This commit doesn't actually make anything use these new functions;
that's for a later commit.
The handshake_digest field was never meaningfully a digest *of* the
handshake, but rather is a digest *from* the handshake that we exapted
to prevent replays of ESTABLISH_INTRO cells. The ntor handshake will
generate it as more key material rather than taking it from any part
of the circuit handshake reply..
I'm going to want a generic "onionskin" type and set of wrappers, and
for that, it will be helpful to isolate the different circuit creation
handshakes. Now the original handshake is in onion_tap.[ch], the
CREATE_FAST handshake is in onion_fast.[ch], and onion.[ch] now
handles the onion queue.
This commit does nothing but move code and adjust header files.
Here we try to handle curve25519 onion keys from generating them,
loading and storing them, publishing them in our descriptors, putting
them in microdescriptors, and so on.
This commit is untested and probably buggy like whoa
This patch moves curve25519_keypair_t from src/or/onion_ntor.h to
src/common/crypto_curve25519.h, and adds new functions to generate,
load, and store keypairs.
The ntor handshake--described in proposal 216 and in a paper by
Goldberg, Stebila, and Ustaoglu--gets us much better performance than
our current approach.
Our old warn_nonlocal_client_ports() would give a bogus warning for
every nonlocal port every time it parsed any ports at all. So if it
parsed a nonlocal socksport, it would complain that it had a nonlocal
socksport...and then turn around and complain about the nonlocal
socksport again, calling it a nonlocal transport or nonlocal dnsport,
if it had any of those.
Fixes bug 7836; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
mr-4 reports on #7799 that he was seeing it several times per second,
which suggests that things had gone very wrong.
This isn't a real fix, but it should make Tor usable till we can
figure out the real issue.
