SSL_*_app_data uses ex_data index 0, which will be the first one allocated
by SSL_get_ex_new_index. Thus, if we ever started using the ex_data feature
for some other purpose, or a library linked to Tor ever started using
OpenSSL's ex_data feature, Tor would break in spectacular and mysterious
ways. Using the SSL_*_ex_data functions directly now may save us from
that particular form of breakage in the future.
But I would not be surprised if using OpenSSL's ex_data functions at all
(directly or not) comes back to bite us on our backends quite hard. The
specified behaviour of dup_func in the man page is stupid, and
crypto/ex_data.c is a horrific mess.
This should fix a bug that special ran into, where if your state file
didn't record period maxima, it would never decide that it had
successfully parsed itself unless you got lucky with your
uninitialized-variable values.
This patch also tries to improve error messags in the case where a
maximum value legitimately doesn't parse.
In private networks, the defaults for some options are changed. This
means that in options_validate(), where we're testing that the defaults
are what we think they are, we fail. Use a workaround by setting a
hidden configuration option _UsingTestingTorNetwork when we have altered
the configuration this way, so that options_validate() can do the right
thing.
Fixes bug 2250, bugfix on 0.2.1.2-alpha (the version introducing private
network options).
Changed received_netinfo_from_trusted_dir into a
tristate in order to keep track of whether we have
already tried contacting a trusted dir. So we don't
send multiple requests if we get a bunch of skews.
The underlying fix is to stop indicating requests "ns" consensuses by
putting NULL in their requested_resource field: we already had a
specialized meaning for requested_resource==NULL, which was (more or
less) "Treat a failure here as a network failure, since it's too early
to possibly be a resource or directory failure." Overloading the two
meant that very early microdesc consensus download failures would get
treated as ns consensus download failures, so the failure count there
would get incremented, but the microdesc download would get retried
immediately in an infinite loop.
Fix for bug2381. Diagnosed by mobmix.
