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.
Allow one-hop directory fetching circuits the full "circuit build timeout"
period, rather than just half of it, before failing them and marking
the relay down. This fix should help reduce cases where clients declare
relays (or worse, bridges) unreachable because the TLS handshake takes
a few seconds to complete.
Fixes bug 6743 (one piece of bug 3443); bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha, where
we changed the timeout from a static 30 seconds.
This solves bug 5283, where client traffic could get sent over the
same circuit as an anonymized connection to a directory, even if
that circuit used an exit node unsuitable for clients. By marking
the directory connection as needs_internal, we ensure that the
(non-internal!) client-traffic connection won't be sent over the
same circuit.
Fixes bug #4897, not yet in any release.
Using n_circ_id alone here (and below, when n_conn is NULL) really sucks,
but that's a separate bug which will need a changes/ file.
Incidentally, we've got 30969 lines in master with a comma
in them, of which 1995 have a comma followed by a non-newline,
non-space character. So about 93% of our commas are right,
but we have a substantial number of "crowded" lines.
In this new representation for wildcarded addresses, there are no
longer any 'magic addresses': rather, "a.b c.d", "*.a.b c.d" and
"*.a.b *.c.d" are all represented by a mapping from "a.b" to "c.d". we
now distinguish them by setting bits in the addressmap_entry_t
structure, where src_wildcard is set if the source address had a
wildcard, and dst_wildcard is set if the target address had a
wildcard.
This lets the case where "*.a.b *.c.d" or "*.a.b c.d" remap the
address "a.b" get handled trivially, and lets us simplify and improve
the addressmap_match_superdomains implementation: we can now have it
run in O(parts of address) rather than O(entries in addressmap).
Comments below focus on changes, see diff for added code.
New type tor_addr_port_t holding an IP address and a TCP/UDP port.
New flag in routerinfo_t, ipv6_preferred. This should go in the
node_t instead but not now.
Replace node_get_addr() with
- node_get_prim_addr() for primary address, i.e. IPv4 for now
- node_get_pref_addr() for preferred address, IPv4 or IPv6.
Rename node_get_addr_ipv4h() node_get_prim_addr_ipv4h() for
consistency. The primary address will not allways be an IPv4 address.
Same for node_get_orport() -> node_get_prim_orport().
Rewrite node_is_a_configured_bridge() to take all OR ports into account.
Extend argument list to extend_info_from_node and
extend_info_from_router with a flag indicating if we want to use the
routers primary address or the preferred address. Use the preferred
address in as few situtations as possible for allowing clients to
connect to bridges over IPv6.
Now let's have "lookup" indicate that there can be a hostname
resolution, and "parse" indicate that there wasn't. Previously, we
had one "lookup" function that did resolution; four "parse" functions,
half of which did resolution; and a "from_str()" function that didn't
do resolution. That's confusing and error-prone!
The code changes in this commit are exactly the result of this perl
script, run under "perl -p -i.bak" :
s/tor_addr_port_parse/tor_addr_port_lookup/g;
s/parse_addr_port(?=[^_])/addr_port_lookup/g;
s/tor_addr_from_str/tor_addr_parse/g;
This patch leaves aton and pton alone: their naming convention and
behavior is is determined by the sockets API.
More renaming may be needed.
The conflicts are with the proposal 171 circuit isolation code, and
they're all trivial: they're just a matter of both branches adding
some unrelated code in the same places.

Back when I added this logic in 20c0581a79, the rule was that whenever
a circuit finished building, we cleared its isolation info. I did that
so that we would still use the circuit even if all the streams that
had previously led us to tentatively set its isolation info had closed.
But there were problems with that approach: We could pretty easily get
into a case where S1 had led us to launch C1 and S2 had led us to
launch C2, but when C1 finished, we cleared its isolation and attached
S2 first. Since C2 was still marked in a way that made S1
unattachable to it, we'd then launch another circuit needlessly.
So instead, we try the following approach now: when a circuit is done
building, we try to attach streams to it. If it remains unused after
we try attaching streams, then we clear its isolation info, and try
again to attach streams.
Thanks to Sebastian for helping me figure this out.
This is mainly meant as a way to keep clients from accidentally
DOSing themselves by (e.g.) enabling IsolateDestAddr or
IsolateDestPort on a port that they use for HTTP.
Our old "do we need to launch a circuit for stream S" logic was,
more or less, that if we had a pending circuit that could handle S,
we didn't need to launch a new one.
But now that we have streams isolated from one another, we need
something stronger here: It's possible that some pending C can
handle either S1 or S2, but not both.
This patch reuses the existing isolation logic for a simple
solution: when we decide during circuit launching that some pending
C would satisfy stream S1, we "hypothetically" mark C as though S1
had been connected to it. Now if S2 is incompatible with S1, it
won't be something that can attach to C, and so we'll launch a new
stream.
When the circuit becomes OPEN for the first time (with no streams
attached to it), we reset the circuit's isolation status. I'm not
too sure about this part: I wanted some way to be sure that, if all
streams that would have used a circuit die before the circuit is
done, the circuit can still get used. But I worry that this
approach could also lead to us launching too many circuits. Careful
thought needed here.
This is the meat of proposal 171: we change circuit_is_acceptable()
to require that the connection is compatible with every connection
that has been linked to the circuit; we update circuit_is_better to
prefer attaching streams to circuits in the way that decreases the
circuits' usefulness the least; and we update link_apconn_to_circ()
to do the appropriate bookkeeping.
This adds a little code complexity: we need to remember for each
node whether it supports the right feature, and then check for each
connection whether it's exiting at such a node. We store this in a
flag in the edge_connection_t, and set that flag at link time.
Instead, use compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy everywhere.
One advantage of this is that compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy can
better distinguish 0.0.0.0 from "unknown", which caused a nasty bug
with microdesc users.
This lets us make a lot of other stuff const, allows the compiler to
generate (slightly) better code, and will make me get slightly fewer
patches from folks who stick mutable stuff into or_options_t.
const: because not every input is an output!

This patch introduces a few new functions in router.c to produce a
more helpful description of a node than its nickame, and then tweaks
nearly all log messages taking a nickname as an argument to call these
functions instead.
There are a few cases where I left the old log messages alone: in
these cases, the nickname was that of an authority (whose nicknames
are useful and unique), or the message already included an identity
and/or an address. I might have missed a couple more too.
This is a fix for bug 3045.

Here I looked at the results of the automated conversion and cleaned
them up as follows:
If there was a tor_memcmp or tor_memeq that was in fact "safe"[*] I
changed it to a fast_memcmp or fast_memeq.
Otherwise if there was a tor_memcmp that could turn into a
tor_memneq or tor_memeq, I converted it.
This wants close attention.
[*] I'm erring on the side of caution here, and leaving some things
as tor_memcmp that could in my opinion use the data-dependent
fast_memcmp variant.

Now we believe it to be the case that we never build a circuit for our
stream that has an unsuitable exit, so we'll never need to use such
a circuit. The risk is that we have some code that builds the circuit,
but now we refuse to use it, meaning we just build a bazillion circuits
and ignore them all.
We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
There's no reason to keep a time_t and a struct timeval to represent
the same value: highres_created.tv_sec was the same as timestamp_created.
This should save a few bytes per circuit.
A node_t is an abstraction over routerstatus_t, routerinfo_t, and
microdesc_t. It should try to present a consistent interface to all
of them. There should be a node_t for a server whenever there is
* A routerinfo_t for it in the routerlist
* A routerstatus_t in the current_consensus.
(note that a microdesc_t alone isn't enough to make a node_t exist,
since microdescriptors aren't usable on their own.)
There are three ways to get a node_t right now: looking it up by ID,
looking it up by nickname, and iterating over the whole list of
microdescriptors.
All (or nearly all) functions that are supposed to return "a router"
-- especially those used in building connections and circuits --
should return a node_t, not a routerinfo_t or a routerstatus_t.
A node_t should hold all the *mutable* flags about a node. This
patch moves the is_foo flags from routerinfo_t into node_t. The
flags in routerstatus_t remain, but they get set from the consensus
and should not change.
Some other highlights of this patch are:
* Looking up routerinfo and routerstatus by nickname is now
unified and based on the "look up a node by nickname" function.
This tries to look only at the values from current consensus,
and not get confused by the routerinfo_t->is_named flag, which
could get set for other weird reasons. This changes the
behavior of how authorities (when acting as clients) deal with
nodes that have been listed by nickname.
* I tried not to artificially increase the size of the diff here
by moving functions around. As a result, some functions that
now operate on nodes are now in the wrong file -- they should
get moved to nodelist.c once this refactoring settles down.
This moving should happen as part of a patch that moves
functions AND NOTHING ELSE.
* Some old code is now left around inside #if 0/1 blocks, and
should get removed once I've verified that I don't want it
sitting around to see how we used to do things.
There are still some unimplemented functions: these are flagged
with "UNIMPLEMENTED_NODELIST()." I'll work on filling in the
implementation here, piece by piece.
I wish this patch could have been smaller, but there did not seem to
be any piece of it that was independent from the rest. Moving flags
forces many functions that once returned routerinfo_t * to return
node_t *, which forces their friends to change, and so on.
In the first 100 circuits, our timeout_ms and close_ms
are the same. So we shouldn't transition circuits to purpose
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_MEASURE_TIMEOUT, since they will just timeout again
next time we check.
Rechecking the timeout condition was foolish, because it is checked on the
same codepath. It was also wrong, because we didn't round.
Also, the liveness check itself should be <, and not <=, because we only have
1 second resolution.
Specifically, a circ attempt that we'd launched while the network was
down could timeout after we've marked our entrynodes up, marking them
back down again. The fix is to annotate as bad the OR conns that were
around before we did the retry, so if a circuit that's attached to them
times out we don't do anything about it.
Many friendly operating systems have 64-bit times, and it's not nice
to pass them to an %ld format.
It's also extremely not-nice to write a time to the log as an
integer. Most people think it's 2010 June 29 23:57 UTC+epsilon, not
1277855805+epsilon.
We need to ensure that we close timeout measurement circuits. While
we're at it, we should close really old circuits of certain types that
aren't in use, and log really old circuits of other types.
We need to record different statistics at point of timeout, vs the point
of forcible closing.
Also, give some better names to constants and state file variables
to indicate they are not dealing with timeouts, but abandoned circuits.
This should prevent some asserts and storage of incorrect build times
for the cases where Tor is suspended during a circuit construction, or
just after completing a circuit. The idea is that if the circuit
build time is much greater than we would have cut it off at, we probably
had a suspend event along this codepath, and we should discard the
value.
