Our old code correctly called bufferevent_flush() on linked
connections to make sure that the other side got an EOF event... but
it didn't call bufferevent_flush() when the connection wasn't
hold_open_until_flushed. Directory connections don't use
hold_open_until_flushed, so the linked exit connection never got an
EOF, so they never sent a RELAY_END cell to the client, and the
client never concluded that data had arrived.
The solution is to make the bufferevent_flush() code apply to _all_
closing linked conns whose partner is not already marked for close.
First start of a fix for bug2001, but my test network still isn't
working: the client and the server send each other VERSIONS cells,
but never notice that they got them.
Currently the unit tests test_util_spawn_background_* assume that they
are run from the Tor build directory. This is not the case when running
make distcheck, so the test will fail. This problem is fixed by autoconf
setting BUILDDIR to be the root of the Tor build directory, and this
preprocessor variable being used to specify the absolute path to
test-child. Also, in test-child, do not print out argv[0] because this will
no longer be predictable. Found by Sebastian Hahn.

Some of these functions only work for routerinfo-based nodes, and as
such are only usable for advisory purposes. Fortunately, our uses
of them are compatible with this limitation.
Also, make the NodeFamily option into a list of routersets. This
lets us git rid of router_in_nickname_list (or whatever it was
called) without porting it to work with nodes, and also lets people
specify country codes and IP ranges in NodeFamily
This was the only flag in routerstatus_t that we would previously
change in a routerstatus_t in a consensus. We no longer have reason
to do so -- and probably never did -- as you can now confirm more
easily than you could have done by grepping for is_running before
this patch.
The name change is to emphasize that the routerstatus_t is_running
flag is only there to tell you whether the consensus says it's
running, not whether it *you* think it's running.
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.
The node_t type is meant to serve two key functions:
1) Abstracting difference between routerinfo_t and microdesc_t
so that clients can use microdesc_t instead of routerinfo_t.
2) Being a central place to hold mutable state about nodes
formerly held in routerstatus_t and routerinfo_t.
This patch implements a nodelist type that holds a node for every
router that we would consider using.
