Stop requiring exits to have non-zero bandwithcapacity in a
TestingTorNetwork. Instead, when TestingMinExitFlagThreshold is 0,
ignore exit bandwidthcapacity.
This assists in bootstrapping a testing Tor network.
Fixes bugs 13718 & 13839.
Makes bug 13161's TestingDirAuthVoteExit non-essential.
We add a compression level argument to tor_zlib_new, and use it to
determine how much memory to allocate for the zlib object. We use the
existing level by default, but shift to smaller levels for small
requests when we have been over 3/4 of our memory usage in the past
half-hour.
Closes ticket 11791.
One pain point in evolving the Tor design and implementing has been
adding code that makes clients reject directory documents that they
previously would have accepted, if those descriptors actually exist.
When this happened, the clients would get the document, reject it,
and then decide to try downloading it again, ad infinitum. This
problem becomes particularly obnoxious with authorities, since if
some authorities accept a descriptor that others don't, the ones
that don't accept it would go crazy trying to re-fetch it over and
over. (See for example ticket #9286.)
This patch tries to solve this problem by tracking, if a descriptor
isn't parseable, what its digest was, and whether it is invalid
because of some flaw that applies to the portion containing the
digest. (This excludes RSA signature problems: RSA signatures
aren't included in the digest. This means that a directory
authority can still put another directory authority into a loop by
mentioning a descriptor, and then serving that descriptor with an
invalid RSA signatures. But that would also make the misbehaving
directory authority get DoSed by the server it's attacking, so it's
not much of an issue.)
We already have a mechanism to mark something undownloadable with
downloadstatus_mark_impossible(); we use that here for
microdescriptors, extrainfos, and router descriptors.
Unit tests to follow in another patch.
Closes ticket #11243.
Add the TestingDirAuthVoteExit option, a list of nodes to vote Exit for,
regardless of their uptime, bandwidth, or exit policy.
TestingTorNetwork must be set for this option to have any effect.
Works around an issue where authorities would take up to 35 minutes to
give nodes the Exit flag in a test network, despite short consensus
intervals. Partially implements ticket 13161.
Avoid 4 null pointer errors under clang shallow analysis (the default when
building under Xcode) by using tor_assert() to prove that the pointers
aren't null. Resolves issue 13284 via minor code refactoring.
"At this point in the code, msg has been set to a string
constant. But the tor code checks that msg is not NULL, and the
redundant NULL check confuses the analyser[...] To avoid this
spurious warning, the patch initialises msg to NULL."
Patch from teor. another part of 13157.
This implements the meat of #12899. This commit should simply remove the
parts of Tor dirauths used to check whether a relay was supposed to be
named or not, it doesn't yet convert to a new mechanism for
reject/invalid/baddir/badexiting relays.
This function never returns non-null, but its usage doesn't reflect
that. Let's make it explicit. This will be mostly overridden by later
commits, so no changes file here.
This is in preparation for a big patch series removing the entire Naming
system from Tor. In its wake, the approved-routers file is being
deprecated, and a replacement option to allow only pre-approved routers
is not being implemented.
This implements a feature from bug 13000. Instead of starting a bwauth
run with this wrong idea about their bw, relays should do the self-test
and then get measured.
Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the
network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus
weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the
current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500.
This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards
down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected
performance for most users.
Implements ticket 12690.
We should only assign a relay the HSDir flag if it is currently
considered valid. We can accomplish this by only considering active
relays, and as a consequence of this we also exclude relays that are
currently hibernating. Fixes#12573
On OpenBSD 5.4, time_t is a 32-bit integer. These instances contain
implicit treatment of long and time_t as comparable types, so explicitly
cast to time_t.
There are still quite a few 0.2.3.2x relays running for x<5, and while I
agree they should upgrade, I don't think cutting them out of the network
is a net win on either side.
The remaining vestige is that we continue to publish the V2dir flag,
and that, for the controller, we continue to emit v2 directory
formats when requested.
As a bridge authority, before we create our networkstatus document, we
should compute the thresholds needed for the various status flags
assigned to each bridge based on the status of all other bridges. We
then add these thresholds to the networkstatus document for easy access.
Fixes for #1117 and #9859.
We previously used FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers mostly for
identifiers exposed only to the unit tests... but also for
identifiers exposed to the benchmarker, and sometimes for
identifiers exposed to a similar module, and occasionally for no
really good reason at all.
Now, we use FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers for identifiers shared by
Tor and the unit tests. They should be defined static when we
aren't building the unit test, and globally visible otherwise. (The
STATIC macro will keep us honest here.)
For identifiers used only by the unit tests and never by Tor at all,
on the other hand, we wrap them in #ifdef TOR_UNIT_TESTS.
This is not the motivating use case for the split test/non-test
build system; it's just a test example to see how it works, and to
take a chance to clean up the code a little.
