Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
Prop210: Add attempt-based connection schedules
Existing tor schedules increment the schedule position on failure,
then retry the connection after the scheduled time.
To make multiple simultaneous connections, we need to increment the
schedule position when making each attempt, then retry a (potentially
simultaneous) connection after the scheduled time.
(Also change find_dl_schedule_and_len to find_dl_schedule, as it no
longer takes or returns len.)
Prop210: Add multiple simultaneous consensus downloads for clients
Make connections on TestingClientBootstrapConsensus*DownloadSchedule,
incrementing the schedule each time the client attempts to connect.
Check if the number of downloads is less than
TestingClientBootstrapConsensusMaxInProgressTries before trying any
more connections.
The reasoning for refactoring this function is that removing the
introduction point adaptative algorithm (#4862) ended up changing quite a
bit rend_services_introduce(). Also, to fix some open issues (#8239, #8864
and #13483), this work had to be done.
First, this removes time_expiring variable in an intro point object and
INTRO_POINT_EXPIRATION_GRACE_PERIOD trickery and use an expiring_nodes list
where intro nodes that should expire are moved to that list and cleaned up
only once the new descriptor is successfully uploaded. The previous scheme
was adding complexity and arbitrary timing to when we expire an intro point.
We keep the intro points until we are sure that the new descriptor is
uploaded and thus ready to be used by clients. For this,
rend_service_desc_has_uploaded() is added to notify the HS subsystem that
the descriptor has been successfully uploaded. The purpose of this function
is to cleanup the expiring nodes and circuits if any.
Secondly, this adds the remove_invalid_intro_points() function in order to
split up rend_services_introduce() a bit with an extra modification to it
that fixes#8864. We do NOT close the circuit nor delete the intro point if
the circuit is still alive but the node was removed from the consensus. Due
to possible information leak, we let the circuit and intro point object
expire instead.
Finally, the whole code flow is simplified and large amount of documentation
has been added to mostly explain the why of things in there.
Fixes#8864

For FAILED and RECEIVED action of the HS_DESC event, we now sends back the
descriptor ID at the end like specified in the control-spec section 4.1.25.

"+HSPOST" and the related event changes allow the uploading of HS
descriptors via the control port, and more comprehensive event
monitoring of HS descriptor upload status.
The HS_DESC event was using rend_data_t from the dir connection to reply the
onion address and authentication type. With the new HSFETCH command, it's
now possible to fetch a descriptor only using the descriptor id thus
resulting in not having an onion address in any HS_DESC event.
This patch removes rend_query from the hs desc control functions and replace
it by an onion address string and an auth type.
On a successful fetch, the service id is taken from the fetched descriptor.
For that, an extra parameter is added to "store as a client" function that
contains the cache entry stored.
This will make the control event functions scale more easily over time if
other values not present in rend_data_t are needed since the rend_data from
the dir connection might not contained everything we need.

As defined in section 4.1.26 in the control-spec.txt, this new event replies
the content of a successfully fetched HS descriptor. This also adds a unit
test for the controller event.

We've started to hit the limit here. We introduced the limit in
0.1.2.5-alpha. This fixes bug 14261, but we should have a smarter way
to not actually do the behavior this permits. See #14267 for a ticket
about fixing that.
When V3AuthVotingInterval is low, decrease the delay on the
If-Modified-Since header passed to directory servers.
This allows us to obtain consensuses promptly when the consensus
interval is very short.
This assists in bootstrapping a testing Tor network.
Fixes bugs 13718 & 13963.
We add a compression level argument to tor_zlib_new, and use it to
determine how much memory to allocate for the zlib object. We use the
existing level by default, but shift to smaller levels for small
requests when we have been over 3/4 of our memory usage in the past
half-hour.
Closes ticket 11791.
Bitwise check for the BRIDGE_DIRINFO flag, rather than checking for
equality.
Fixes a (potential) bug where directories offering BRIDGE_DIRINFO,
and some other flag (i.e. microdescriptors or extrainfo),
would be ignored when looking for bridge directories.
Final fix in series for bug 13163.
Document usage of the NO_DIRINFO and ALL_DIRINFO flags clearly in functions
which take them as arguments. Replace 0 with NO_DIRINFO in a function call
for clarity.
Seeks to prevent future issues like 13163.
When we converted the horrible set of options that previously
controlled "use ORPort or DirPort? Anonymously or Non-anonymouly?" to
a single 'indirection' argument, we missed
directory_post_to_dirservers.
The problematic code was introduced in 5cbeb6080, which went into
0.2.4.3-alpha. This is a fix for bug 11469.
On OpenBSD 5.4, time_t is a 32-bit integer. These instances contain
implicit treatment of long and time_t as comparable types, so explicitly
cast to time_t.
Clients should always believe that v3 directory authorities serve
extra-info documents, regardless of whether their server descriptor
contains a "caches-extra-info" line or not.
Fixes part of #11683.
