Previously[*], the function would start with the first stream on the
circuit, and let it package as many cells as it wanted before
proceeding to the next stream in turn. If a circuit had many live
streams that all wanted to package data, the oldest would get
preference, and the newest would get ignored.
Now, we figure out how many cells we're willing to send per stream,
and try to allocate them fairly.
Roger diagnosed this in the comments for bug 1298.
[*] This bug has existed since before the first-ever public release
of Tor. It was added by r152 of Tor on 26 Jan 2003, which was
the first commit to implement streams (then called "topics").
This is not the oldest bug to be fixed in 0.2.2.x: that honor
goes to the windowing bug in r54, which got fixed in e50b7768 by
Roger with diagnosis by Karsten. This is, however, the most
long-lived bug to be fixed in 0.2.2.x: the r54 bug was fixed
2580 days after it was introduced, whereas I am writing this
commit message 2787 days after r152.
I'm going to use this to implement more fairness in
circuit_resume_edge_reading_helper in an attempt to fix bug 1298.
(Updated with fixes from arma and Sebastian)
An authority should never download a consensus if it has a live one,
but when it doesn't, it should admit that it's not going to get one,
and see if anybody else can give it one.
Fixes 1300, fix on 0.2.0.9-alpha
When we introduced the code to close non-open OR connections after
KeepalivePeriod had passed, we replaced some code that said
if (!connection_is_open(conn)) {
/* let it keep handshaking forever */
} else if (do other tests here) {
...
with new code that said
if (!connection_is_open(conn) && past_keepalive) {
/* let it keep handshaking forever */
} else if (do other tests here) {
...
This was a mistake, since it made all the other tests start applying
to non-open connections, thus causing bug 1840, where non-open
connections get closed way early.
Fixes bug 1840. Bugfix on 0.2.1.26 (commit 67b38d50).
- Move checks for extra_info to callers
- Change argument name from failed to descs
- Use strlen("fp/") instead of a magic number
- I passed on the suggestion to rename functions from *_failed() to
*_handle_failure(). There are a lot of these so for now just follow
the house style.
It's normal when bootstrapping to have a lot of different certs
missing, so we don't want missing certs to make us warn... unless
the certs we're missing are ones that we've tried to fetch a couple
of times and failed at.
May fix bug 1145.
We frequently add cells to stream-blocked queues for valid reasons
that don't mean we need to block streams. The most obvious reason
is if the cell arrives over a circuit rather than from an edge: we
don't block circuits, no matter how full queues get. The next most
obvious reason is that we allow CONNECTED cells from a newly created
stream to get delivered just fine.
This patch changes the behavior so that we only iterate over the
streams on a circuit when the cell in question came from a stream,
and we only block the stream that generated the cell, so that other
streams can still get their CONNECTEDs in.
This should keep WinCE working (unicode always-on) and get Win98
working again (unicode never-on).
There are two places where we explicitly use ASCII-only APIs, still:
in ntmain.c and in the unit tests.
This patch also fixes a bug in windoes tor_listdir that would cause
the first file to be listed an arbitrary number of times that was
also introduced with WinCE support.
Should fix bug 1797.
