This is allowed by the C statndard, which permits you to represent
doubles any way you like, but in practice we have some code that
assumes that memset() clears doubles in structs. Noticed as part of
7802 review; see 8081 for more info.
When we implemented #5823 and removed v2 directory request info, we
never actually changed the unit tests not to expect it.
Fixes bug 8084; bug not in any released version of Tor.
It looks like there was a compilation error for 6826 on some
platforms. Removing even more now-uncallable code to handle detecting
libevent versions before 1.3e.
Fixes bug 8012; bug not in any released Tor.
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.
You can get it back by saying ./autogen.sh -v
Patch from onizuka; for bug 4664.
This isn't a complete fix, since starting from a clean checkout still
reports that it's installing stuff
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.
This won't actually break them any worse than they were broken before:
it just removes a set of warnings that nobody was actually seeing, I
hope.
Closes 6826
The implementation is pretty straightforward: parse_extended_hostname() is
modified to drop any leading components from an address like
'foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion'.
