There were only two functions outside of circuitstats that actually
wanted to know what was inside this. Making the structure itself
hidden should help isolation and prevent us from spaghettifying the
thing more.
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.
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.
Now that circid_t is 4 bytes long, the default integer promotions will
leave it alone when sizeof(int) == 4, which will leave us formatting an
unsigned as an int. That's technically undefined behavior.
Fixes bug 8447 on bfffc1f0fc. Bug not
in any released Tor.
In a number of places, we decrement timestamp_dirty by
MaxCircuitDirtiness in order to mark a stream as "unusable for any
new connections.
This pattern sucks for a few reasons:
* It is nonobvious.
* It is error-prone: decrementing 0 can be a bad choice indeed.
* It really wants to have a function.
It can also introduce bugs if the system time jumps backwards, or if
MaxCircuitDirtiness is increased.
So in this patch, I add an unusable_for_new_conns flag to
origin_circuit_t, make it get checked everywhere it should (I looked
for things that tested timestamp_dirty), and add a new function to
frob it.
For now, the new function does still frob timestamp_dirty (after
checking for underflow and whatnot), in case I missed any cases that
should be checking unusable_for_new_conns.
Fixes bug 6174. We first used this pattern in 516ef41ac1,
which I think was in 0.0.2pre26 (but it could have been 0.0.2pre27).

In general, if we tried to use a circ for a stream, but then decided to place
that stream on a different circuit, we need to probe the original circuit
before deciding it was a "success".
We also need to do the same for cannibalized circuits that go unused.
Turns out there's more than one way to block a tagged circuit.
This seems to successfully handle all of the normal exit circuits. Hidden
services need additional tweaks, still.
Apparently some compilers like to eliminate memset() operations on
data that's about to go out-of-scope. I've gone with the safest
possible replacement, which might be a bit slow. I don't think this
is critical path in any way that will affect performance, but if it
is, we can work on that in 0.2.4.
Fixes bug 7352.
Previously, we would treat an intro circuit failure as a timeout iff the
circuit failed due to a mismatch in relay identity keys. (Due to a bug
elsewhere, we only recognize relay identity-key mismatches on the first
hop, so this isn't as bad as it could have been.)
Bugfix on commit eaed37d14c, not yet in any
release.
Back when I added this logic in 20c0581a79, the rule was that whenever
a circuit finished building, we cleared its isolation info. I did that
so that we would still use the circuit even if all the streams that
had previously led us to tentatively set its isolation info had closed.
But there were problems with that approach: We could pretty easily get
into a case where S1 had led us to launch C1 and S2 had led us to
launch C2, but when C1 finished, we cleared its isolation and attached
S2 first. Since C2 was still marked in a way that made S1
unattachable to it, we'd then launch another circuit needlessly.
So instead, we try the following approach now: when a circuit is done
building, we try to attach streams to it. If it remains unused after
we try attaching streams, then we clear its isolation info, and try
again to attach streams.
Thanks to Sebastian for helping me figure this out.
Our old "do we need to launch a circuit for stream S" logic was,
more or less, that if we had a pending circuit that could handle S,
we didn't need to launch a new one.
But now that we have streams isolated from one another, we need
something stronger here: It's possible that some pending C can
handle either S1 or S2, but not both.
This patch reuses the existing isolation logic for a simple
solution: when we decide during circuit launching that some pending
C would satisfy stream S1, we "hypothetically" mark C as though S1
had been connected to it. Now if S2 is incompatible with S1, it
won't be something that can attach to C, and so we'll launch a new
stream.
When the circuit becomes OPEN for the first time (with no streams
attached to it), we reset the circuit's isolation status. I'm not
too sure about this part: I wanted some way to be sure that, if all
streams that would have used a circuit die before the circuit is
done, the circuit can still get used. But I worry that this
approach could also lead to us launching too many circuits. Careful
thought needed here.
This patch adds fields to track how streams should be isolated, and
ensures that those fields are set correctly. It also adds fields to
track what streams can go on a circuit, and adds functions to see
whether a streams can go on a circuit and update the circuit
accordingly. Those functions aren't yet called.
This lets us make a lot of other stuff const, allows the compiler to
generate (slightly) better code, and will make me get slightly fewer
patches from folks who stick mutable stuff into or_options_t.
const: because not every input is an output!

This patch introduces a few new functions in router.c to produce a
more helpful description of a node than its nickame, and then tweaks
nearly all log messages taking a nickname as an argument to call these
functions instead.
There are a few cases where I left the old log messages alone: in
these cases, the nickname was that of an authority (whose nicknames
are useful and unique), or the message already included an identity
and/or an address. I might have missed a couple more too.
This is a fix for bug 3045.

Here I looked at the results of the automated conversion and cleaned
them up as follows:
If there was a tor_memcmp or tor_memeq that was in fact "safe"[*] I
changed it to a fast_memcmp or fast_memeq.
Otherwise if there was a tor_memcmp that could turn into a
tor_memneq or tor_memeq, I converted it.
This wants close attention.
[*] I'm erring on the side of caution here, and leaving some things
as tor_memcmp that could in my opinion use the data-dependent
fast_memcmp variant.

We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
We need to make sure that the worst thing that a weird consensus param
can do to us is to break our Tor (and only if the other Tors are
reliably broken in the same way) so that the majority of directory
authorities can't pull any attacks that are worse than the DoS that
they can trigger by simply shutting down.
One of these worse things was the cbtnummodes parameter, which could
lead to heap corruption on some systems if the value was sufficiently
large.
This commit fixes this particular issue and also introduces sanity
checking for all consensus parameters.
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.
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.
At best, this patch helps us avoid sending queued relayed cells that
would get ignored during the time between when a destroy cell is
sent and when the circuit is finally freed. At worst, it lets us
release some memory a little earlier than it would otherwise.
Fix for bug #1184. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
In rare cases, we could cannibalize a one-hop circuit, ending up
with a two-hop circuit. This circuit would not be actually used,
but we should prevent its creation in the first place.
Thanks to outofwords and swissknife for helping to analyse this.
The new rule is: safe_str_X() means "this string is a piece of X
information; make it safe to log." safe_str() on its own means
"this string is a piece of who-knows-what; make it safe to log".
There are two big changes here:
- We store active circuits in a priority queue for each or_conn,
rather than doing a linear search over all the active circuits
before we send each cell.
- Rather than multiplying every circuit's cell-ewma by a decay
factor every time we send a cell (thus normalizing the value of a
current cell to 1.0 and a past cell to alpha^t), we instead
only scale down the cell-ewma every tick (ten seconds atm),
normalizing so that a cell sent at the start of the tick has
value 1.0).
Each circuit is ranked in terms of how many cells from it have been
relayed recently, using a time-weighted average.
This patch has been tested this on a private Tor network on PlanetLab,
and gotten improvements of 12-35% in time it takes to fetch a small
web page while there's a simultaneous large data transfer going on
simultaneously.
[Commit msg by nickm based on mail from Ian Goldberg.]
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.
Avoid crashing if the client is trying to upload many bytes and the
circuit gets torn down at the same time, or if the flip side
happens on the exit relay. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 1150.
If the networkstatus consensus tells us that we should use a
negative circuit package window, ignore it. Otherwise we'll
believe it and then trigger an assert.
Also, change the interface for networkstatus_get_param() so we
don't have to lookup the consensus beforehand.
Tor now reads the "circwindow" parameter out of the consensus,
and uses that value for its circuit package window rather than the
default of 1000 cells. Begins the implementation of proposal 168.

Move n_addr, n_port, and n_conn_id_digest fields of circuit_t into a separately allocated extend_info_t. Saves 22 bytes per connected circuit_t on 32-bit platforms, and makes me more comfortable with using tor_addr_t in place of uint32_t n_addr.

Initial attempts to track down bug 600, and refactor possibly offending code. 1) complain early if circuit state is set to OPEN when an onionskin is pending. 2) refactor onionskin field into one only used when n_conn is pending, and a separate onionskin field waiting for attention by a cpuworker. This might even fix the bug. More likely, it will make it fail with a more useful core.

Initial version of circuit-based cell queues. Instead of hammering or_conns with piles of cells, queue cells on their corresponding circuits, and append them to the or_conn as needed.
