There's no reason to keep a time_t and a struct timeval to represent
the same value: highres_created.tv_sec was the same as timestamp_created.
This should save a few bytes per circuit.
Some of these functions only work for routerinfo-based nodes, and as
such are only usable for advisory purposes. Fortunately, our uses
of them are compatible with this limitation.
A node_t is an abstraction over routerstatus_t, routerinfo_t, and
microdesc_t. It should try to present a consistent interface to all
of them. There should be a node_t for a server whenever there is
* A routerinfo_t for it in the routerlist
* A routerstatus_t in the current_consensus.
(note that a microdesc_t alone isn't enough to make a node_t exist,
since microdescriptors aren't usable on their own.)
There are three ways to get a node_t right now: looking it up by ID,
looking it up by nickname, and iterating over the whole list of
microdescriptors.
All (or nearly all) functions that are supposed to return "a router"
-- especially those used in building connections and circuits --
should return a node_t, not a routerinfo_t or a routerstatus_t.
A node_t should hold all the *mutable* flags about a node. This
patch moves the is_foo flags from routerinfo_t into node_t. The
flags in routerstatus_t remain, but they get set from the consensus
and should not change.
Some other highlights of this patch are:
* Looking up routerinfo and routerstatus by nickname is now
unified and based on the "look up a node by nickname" function.
This tries to look only at the values from current consensus,
and not get confused by the routerinfo_t->is_named flag, which
could get set for other weird reasons. This changes the
behavior of how authorities (when acting as clients) deal with
nodes that have been listed by nickname.
* I tried not to artificially increase the size of the diff here
by moving functions around. As a result, some functions that
now operate on nodes are now in the wrong file -- they should
get moved to nodelist.c once this refactoring settles down.
This moving should happen as part of a patch that moves
functions AND NOTHING ELSE.
* Some old code is now left around inside #if 0/1 blocks, and
should get removed once I've verified that I don't want it
sitting around to see how we used to do things.
There are still some unimplemented functions: these are flagged
with "UNIMPLEMENTED_NODELIST()." I'll work on filling in the
implementation here, piece by piece.
I wish this patch could have been smaller, but there did not seem to
be any piece of it that was independent from the rest. Moving flags
forces many functions that once returned routerinfo_t * to return
node_t *, which forces their friends to change, and so on.
With this patch we stop scheduling when we should write statistics using a
single timestamp in run_scheduled_events(). Instead, we remember when a
statistics interval starts separately for each statistic type in geoip.c
and rephist.c. Every time run_scheduled_events() tries to write stats to
disk, it learns when it should schedule the next such attempt.
This patch also enables all statistics to be stopped and restarted at a
later time.
This patch comes with a few refactorings, some of which were not easily
doable without the patch.
The HSAuthorityRecordStats option was used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage on the version 0 hidden service authorities. With the
version 2 hidden service directories being deployed and version 0
descriptors being phased out, these statistics are not as useful anymore.
Goodbye, you fine piece of software; my first major code contribution to
Tor.
Some *_free functions threw asserts when passed NULL. Now all of them
accept NULL as input and perform no action when called that way.
This gains us consistence for our free functions, and allows some
code simplifications where an explicit null check is no longer necessary.
Do not segfault when writing buffer stats when we haven't observed a
single circuit to report about. This is a minor bug that would only show
up in testing environments with no traffic and with reduced stats
intervals.
- Avoid memmoving 0 bytes which might lead to compiler warnings.
- Don't require relays to be entry node AND bridge at the same to time to
record clients.
- Fix a memory leak when writing dirreq-stats.
- Don't say in the stats files that measurement intervals are twice as long
as they really are.
- Reduce minimum observation time for requests to 12 hours, or we might
never record usage.
- Clear exit stats correctly after writing them, or we accumulate old stats
over time.
- Reset interval start for buffer stats, too.
- Refactor geoip.c by moving duplicate code into rotate_request_period().
- Don't leak memory when cleaning up cell queues.
- Make sure that exit_(streams|bytes_(read|written)) are initialized in all
places accessing these arrays.
- Read only the last block from *stats files and ensure that its timestamp
is not more than 25 hours in the past and not more than 1 hour in the
future.
- Stop truncating the last character when reading *stats files.
The only thing that's left now is to avoid reading whole *stats files into
memory.
Introduce a threshold of 0.01% of bytes that must be read and written per
port in order to be included in the statistics. Otherwise we cannot include
these statistics in extra-info documents, because they are too big.
Change the labels "-written" and "-read" so that the meanings are as
intended.
when we write out our stability info, detect relays that have slipped
through the cracks. log about them and correct the problem.
if we continue to see a lot of these over time, it means there's another
spot where relays fall out of the routerlist without being marked as
unreachable.
