Stop checking for bridge descriptors when we actually want to know if
any bridges are usable. This avoids potential bootstrapping issues.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Stop stalling when bridges are changed at runtime. Stop stalling when
old bridge descriptors are cached, but they are not in use.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 23347 in 0.3.2.1-alpha.
Because the HS and SR subsystems can use the voting schedule early (with the
changes in #23623 making the SR subsystem using the static voting schedule
object), we need to recalculate the schedule very early when setting the new
consensus.

Right now there's a single warn_if_unnamed flag for
router_get_consensus_status_by_nickname() and
node_get_by_nickname(), that is nearly always 1. I've turned it
into an 'unsigned' bitfield, and inverted its sense. I've added the
flags argument to node_get_by_hex_id() too, though it does nothing
there right now.
I've removed the router_get_consensus_status_by_nickname() function,
since it was only used in once place.
This patch changes the warning behavior of GETINFO ns/name/<name>,
since all other name lookups from the controller currently warn.
Later I'm going to add more flags, for ed25519 support.
We also had to alter the SRV functions to take a consensus as optional
input, since we might be setting our HSDir index using a consensus that
is currently being processed and won't be returned by the
networkstatus_get_live_consensus() function.
This change has two results:
a) It makes sure we are using a fresh consensus with the right SRV value
when we are calculating the HSDir hash ring.
b) It ensures that we will not use the sr_get_current/previous()
functions when we don't have a consensus which would have falsely
triggered the disaster SRV logic.
These still won't do anything till I get the values to be filled in.
Also, I changed the API a little (with corresponding changes in
directory.c) to match things that it's easier to store.
Checking all of these parameter lists for every single connection every second
seems like it could be an expensive waste.
Updating globally cached versions when there is a new consensus will still
allow us to apply consensus parameter updates to all existing connections
immediately.
This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
This change is the only one necessary to allow future versions of
the microdescriptor consensus to replace every 'published' date with
e.g. 2038-01-01 00:00:00; this will save 50-75% in compressed
microdescriptor diff size, which is quite significant.
This commit is a minimal change for 0.2.9; future series will
reduce the use of the 'published' date even more.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
This patch is just:
* Code movement
* Adding headers here and there as needed
* Adding a bridges_free_all() with a call to it.
It breaks compilation, since the bridge code needed to make exactly
2 calls into entrynodes.c internals. I'll fix those in the next
commit.
If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to download,
stop waiting for certificates.
If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we started
downloading them, do not consider the certificate download failure a
separate failure.
