The new behavior is to try to rename the old file if there is one there
that we can't read. In all likelihood, that will fail too, but at least
we tried, and at least it won't crash.
Previously we ensured that it would get called periodically by doing
it from inside the code that added microdescriptors. That won't work
though: it would interfere with our code that tried to read microdescs
from disk initially. Instead, we should consider rebuilding the cache
periodically, and on startup.
Clients and relays haven't used them since early 0.2.0.x. The only
remaining use by authorities learning about new relays ahead of scedule;
see proposal 147 for what we intend to do about that.
We're leaving in an option (FetchV2Networkstatus) to manually fetch v2
networkstatuses, because apparently dnsel and maybe bwauth want them.
This fixes bug 3022.
A v0 HS authority stores v0 HS descriptors in the same descriptor
cache that its HS client functionality uses. Thus, if the HS
authority operator clears its client HS descriptor cache, ALL v0
HS descriptors will be lost. That would be bad.
These functions can return NULL for otherwise-valid values of
time_t. Notably, the glibc gmtime manpage says it can return NULL
if the year if greater than INT_MAX, and the windows MSDN gmtime
page says it can return NULL for negative time_t values.
Also, our formatting code is not guaranteed to correctly handle
years after 9999 CE.
This patch tries to correct this by detecting NULL values from
gmtime/localtime_r, and trying to clip them to a reasonable end of
the scale. If they are in the middle of the scale, we call it a
downright error.
Arguably, it's a bug to get out-of-bounds dates like this to begin
with. But we've had bugs of this kind in the past, and warning when
we see a bug is much kinder than doing a NULL-pointer dereference.
Boboper found this one too.
Previously, it would remove every trackhostexits-derived mapping
*from* xyz.<exitname>.exit; it was supposed to remove every
trackhostexits-derived mapping *to* xyz.<exitname>.exit.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc: fixes an XXX020 added while staring at bug-1090
issues.
This once maybe made sense when ExitNodes meant "Here are 3 exits;
use them all", but now it more typically means "Here are 3
countries; exit from there." Using non-Fast/Stable exits created a
potential partitioning opportunity and an annoying stability
problem.
(Don't worry about the case where all of our ExitNodes are non-Fast
or non-Stable: we handle that later in the function by retrying with
need_capacity and need_uptime set to 0.)
The last entry of the *Maxima values in the state file was inflated by a
factor of NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE (currently 10). This could lead to
a wrong maximum value propagating through the state file history.
When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.
This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
Some tor relays would report lines like these in their extrainfo
documents:
dirreq-write-history 2011-03-14 16:46:44 (900 s)
This was confusing to some people who look at the stats. It would happen
whenever a relay first starts up, or when a relay has dirport disabled.
Change this so that lines without actual bw entries are omitted.
Implements ticket 2497.
