When sandboxing is enabled, we could not write any stats to disk.
check_or_create_data_subdir("stats"), which prepares the private stats
directory, calls check_private_dir(), which also opens and not just stats() the
directory. Therefore, we need to also allow open() for the stats dir in our
sandboxing setup.
If we're a server with no address configured, resolve_my_hostname
will need this. But not otherwise. And the preseeding itself can
consume a few seconds if like tails we have no resolvers.
Fixes bug 18548.
I didn't want to grant blanket permissions for chmod() and chown(),
so here's what I had to do:
* Grant open() on all parent directories of a unix socket
* Write code to allow chmod() and chown() on a given file only.
* Grant chmod() and chown() on the unix socket.
This is in accordance with our usual policy against freelists,
now that working allocators are everywhere.
It should also make memarea.c's coverage higher.
I also doubt that this code ever helped performance.
Originally it can overflow in some weird cases. Now it should no longer
be able to do so.
Additionally, limit main's timers to 30 days rather than to 38 years;
we don't actually want any 38-year timers.
Closes bug 17682.
Otherwise, relays publish a descriptor with DirPort 0 when the DirPort
reachability test takes longer than the ORPort reachability test.
Closes bug #18050. Reported by "starlight", patch by "teor".
Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc, commit a1f1fa6ab on 27 Feb 2005.
According to the POSIX standard the option value is a pointer to void
and the option length a socklen_t. The Windows implementation makes the
option value be a pointer to character and the option length an int.
Casting the option value to a pointer to void conforms to the POSIX
standard while the implicit cast to a pointer to character conforms to
the Windows implementation.
The casts of the option length to the socklen_t data type conforms to
the POSIX standard. The socklen_t data type is actually an alias of an
int so it also conforms to the Windows implementation.
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.
These functions must really never fail; so have crypto_rand() assert
that it's working okay, and have crypto_seed_rng() demand that
callers check its return value. Also have crypto_seed_rng() check
RAND_status() before returning.
Loading a on disk bridge descriptor causes a directory download to be
scheduled, which asserts due to the periodic events not being
initialized yet.
Fixes bug #17635, not in any released version of tor.
Now we only re-scan the list in the cases we did before: when we
have a new circuit that we should try attaching to, or when we have
added a new stream that we haven't tried to attach yet.
This is part of 17590.
Long ago we used to call connection_ap_handshake_attach_circuit()
only in a few places, since connection_ap_attach_pending() attaches
all the pending connections, and does so regularly. But this turned
out to have a performance problem: it would introduce a delay to
launching or connecting a stream.
We couldn't just call connection_ap_attach_pending() every time we
make a new connection, since it walks the whole connection list. So
we started calling connection_ap_attach_pending all over, instead!
But that's kind of ugly and messes up our callgraph.
So instead, we now have connection_ap_attach_pending() use a list
only of the pending connections, so we can call it much more
frequently. We have a separate function to scan the whole
connection array to see if we missed adding anything, and log a
warning if so.
Closes ticket #17590
