Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS
cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very
large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since
gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%.
Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside
the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a
little costlier than I'm happy with.
This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.
Provide a useful warning when launch_circuit tries to make us use a
node we don't want to use. Just give an info message when this is a
normal and okay situation. Fix for logging issues in bug 984.
Update Standards-Version from 3.8.0 to 3.8.1. No real changes required, we
already support nocheck in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS since August 2004, and we already
create our var/run directory in the init script (tho we now no longer ship it
either - see above).
No longer inform the user if/when we re-create the /var/run/tor directory in
the init script. With /var/run on tmpfs this is completely normal now so our
message was just noise.
This patch adds a function to determine whether we're in the main
thread, and changes control_event_logmsg() to return immediately if
we're in a subthread. This is necessary because otherwise we will
call connection_write_to_buf, which modifies non-locked data
structures.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.x; fix for at least one of the things currently
called "bug 977".
Tas (thanks!) noticed that when *ListenAddress is set, Tor would
still warn on startup when *Port is low and hibernation is active.
The patch parses all the *ListenAddress lines, and checks the
ports. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc
With the last fix of task 932 (5f03d6c), client requests are only added to
the history when they happen after the start of the current history. This
conflicts with the unit tests that insert current requests first (defining
the start of the client request history) followed by requests in the past.
The fix is to insert requests in chronological order in the unit tests.
If we ever add an event, then set it, then add it again, there will be
now two pointers to the event in the event base. If we delete one and
free it, the first pointer will still be there, and possibly cause a
crash later.
This patch adds detection for this case to the code paths in
eventdns.c, and works around it. If the warning message ever
displays, then a cleverer fix is in order.
{I am not too confident that this *is* the fix, since bug 957 is very
tricky. If it is, it is a bugfix on 0.2.0.}
When we got a descriptor that we (as an authority) rejected as totally
bad, we were freeing it, then using the digest in its RAM to look up its
download status. Caught by arma with valgrind. Bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
The trick is that we should assert that our next_mem pointer has not
run off the end of the array _before_ we realign the pointer, since
doing that could take us over the end... but only if we're on a system
where malloc() gives us ram in increments smaller than sizeof(void*).
Bridges are not supposed to publish router descriptors to the directory
authorities. It defeats the point of bridges when they are included in the
public relay directory.
This patch puts out a warning and exits when the node is configured as
a bridge and to publish v1, v2, or v3 descriptors at the same time.
Also fixes part of bug 932.
This matters because a cpuworker can close its socket when it
finishes. Cpuworker typically runs in another thread, so without a
lock here, we can have a race condition and get confused about how
many sockets are open. Possible fix for bug 939.
This addresses the first part of bug 918. Users are now warned when
they try to use hibernation in combination with a port below 1024
when they're not on Windows. We don't want to die here, because
people might run Tor as root, use a capabilities system or some
other platform that will allow them to re-attach low ports.
Wording suggested by Marian
(Don't crash immediately if we have leftover chunks to free after
freeing chunks in a buffer freelist; instead log a debugging message
that might help.)
