The routerset_equal function explicitly handles NULL inputs, so
there's no need to check inputs for NULL before calling it.
Also fix a bug in routerset_equal where a non-NULL routerset with no
entries didn't get counted as equal to a NULL routerset. This was
untriggerable, I think, but potentially annoying down the road.
ExcludeExitNodes foo now means that foo.exit doesn't work. If
StrictNodes is set, then ExcludeNodes foo also overrides foo.exit.
foo.exit , however, still works even if foo is not listed in ExitNodes.
This once maybe made sense when ExitNodes meant "Here are 3 exits;
use them all", but now it more typically means "Here are 3
countries; exit from there." Using non-Fast/Stable exits created a
potential partitioning opportunity and an annoying stability
problem.
(Don't worry about the case where all of our ExitNodes are non-Fast
or non-Stable: we handle that later in the function by retrying with
need_capacity and need_uptime set to 0.)
If we're picking a random directory node, never pick an excluded one.
But if we've chosen a specific one (or all), allow it unless strictnodes
is set (in which case warn so the user knows it's their fault).
When warning that we won't connect to a strictly excluded node,
log what it was we were trying to do at that node.
When ExcludeNodes is set but StrictNodes is not set, we only use
non-excluded nodes if we can, but fall back to using excluded nodes
if none of those nodes is usable.
This is a tweak to the bug2917 fix. Basically, if we want to simulate
a signal arriving in the controller, we shouldn't have to pretend that
we're Libevent, or depend on how Tor sets up its Libevent callbacks.
The last entry of the *Maxima values in the state file was inflated by a
factor of NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE (currently 10). This could lead to
a wrong maximum value propagating through the state file history.
When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.
This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
While doing so, get rid of the now unnecessary function
control_signal_act().
Fixes bug 2917, reported by Robert Ransom. Bugfix on commit
9b4aa8d2ab. This patch is loosely based on
a patch by Robert (Changelog entry).
