This implements "algorithm 1" from my discussion of bug #9072: on OOM,
find the circuits with the longest queues, and kill them. It's also a
fix for #9063 -- without the side-effects of bug #9072.
The memory bounds aren't perfect here, and you need to be sure to
allow some slack for the rest of Tor's usage.
This isn't a perfect fix; the rest of the solutions I describe on
codeable.
In my #7912 fix, there wasn't any code to remove entries from the
(channel, circuit ID)->circuit map corresponding to queued but un-sent
DESTROYs.
Spotted by skruffy. Fixes bug 9082; bug not in any released Tor.
I added the code to pass a destroy cell to a queueing function rather
than writing it immediately, and the code to remember that we
shouldn't reuse the circuit id until the destroy is actually sent, and
the code to release the circuit id once the destroy has been sent...
and then I finished by hooking destroy_cell_queue into the rest of
Tor.
doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to
look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago,
though.
authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in
torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in
large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not.
translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other
than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website
now.
tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version
for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one
while we're waiting for an accurate version.
the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in
doc/contrib if anywhere.
Resolves bug #8965.
This is a reprise of the fix in bdff7e3299d78; 6905c1f6 reintroduced
that bug. Briefly: windows doesn't seem to like deleting a mapped
file. I tried adding the PROT_SHARED_DELETE flag to the createfile
all, but that didn't actually fix this issue. Fortunately, the unit
test I added in 4f4fc63fea should
prevent us from making this particular screw-up again.
This patch also tries to limit the crash potential of a failure to
write by a little bit, although it could do a better job of retaining
microdescriptor bodies.
Fix for bug 8822, bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
