arma's rationale: "I think this is a bug, since people intentionally
set DirPortFrontPage, so they really do want their relay to serve that
page when it's asked for. Having it appear only sometimes (or roughly
never in Sebastian's case) makes it way less useful."
Fixes bug 1013; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
If the Tor is running with AutomapHostsOnResolve set, it _is_
reasonable to do a DNS lookup on a .onion address. So instead we make
tor-resolve willing to try to resolve anything. Only if Tor refuses
to resolve it do we suggest to the user that resolving a .onion
address may not work.
Fix for bug 1005.
Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP
address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS
cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very
large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since
gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%.
Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside
the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a
little costlier than I'm happy with.
This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.
Provide a useful warning when launch_circuit tries to make us use a
node we don't want to use. Just give an info message when this is a
normal and okay situation. Fix for logging issues in bug 984.
This patch adds a function to determine whether we're in the main
thread, and changes control_event_logmsg() to return immediately if
we're in a subthread. This is necessary because otherwise we will
call connection_write_to_buf, which modifies non-locked data
structures.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.x; fix for at least one of the things currently
called "bug 977".
Tas (thanks!) noticed that when *ListenAddress is set, Tor would
still warn on startup when *Port is low and hibernation is active.
The patch parses all the *ListenAddress lines, and checks the
ports. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc
If we ever add an event, then set it, then add it again, there will be
now two pointers to the event in the event base. If we delete one and
free it, the first pointer will still be there, and possibly cause a
crash later.
This patch adds detection for this case to the code paths in
eventdns.c, and works around it. If the warning message ever
displays, then a cleverer fix is in order.
{I am not too confident that this *is* the fix, since bug 957 is very
tricky. If it is, it is a bugfix on 0.2.0.}
When we got a descriptor that we (as an authority) rejected as totally
bad, we were freeing it, then using the digest in its RAM to look up its
download status. Caught by arma with valgrind. Bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
The trick is that we should assert that our next_mem pointer has not
run off the end of the array _before_ we realign the pointer, since
doing that could take us over the end... but only if we're on a system
where malloc() gives us ram in increments smaller than sizeof(void*).
This matters because a cpuworker can close its socket when it
finishes. Cpuworker typically runs in another thread, so without a
lock here, we can have a race condition and get confused about how
many sockets are open. Possible fix for bug 939.
(Don't crash immediately if we have leftover chunks to free after
freeing chunks in a buffer freelist; instead log a debugging message
that might help.)
bytes (aka 20KB/s), to match our documentation. Also update
directory authorities so they always assign the Fast flag to relays
with 20KB/s of capacity. Now people running relays won't suddenly
find themselves not seeing any use, if the network gets faster
on average.

IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling them
their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they never got
an accurate answer about their new address, so they just vanished
after a day. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900 -- but alas, only
after every directory mirror has upgraded.

ago. This change should significantly improve client performance,
especially once more people upgrade, since relays that have been
a guard for a long time are currently overloaded.

The directory authorities were refusing v3 consensus votes from
other authorities, since the votes are now 504K. Fixes bug 959;
bugfix on 0.0.2pre17 (where we raised it from 50K to 500K ;).

When we used smartlist_free to free the list of succesful uploads
because we had succeeded in uploading everywhere, we did not actually
set the successful_uploads field to NULL, so later it would get freed
again in rend_service_descriptor_free. Fix for bug 948; bug
introduced in 0.2.1.6-alpha.
svn:r19073
It seems that 64-bit Sparc Solaris demands 64-bit-aligned access to
uint64_t, but does not 64-bit-align the stack-allocated char array we
use for cpuworker tags. So this patch adds a set/get_uint64 pair, and
uses them to access the conn_id field in the tag.

It turns out that we weren't updating the _ExcludeExitNodesUnion set's
country numbers when we reloaded (or first loaded!) the IP-to-country
file. Spotted by Lark. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.

stream never finished making its connection, it would live
forever in circuit_wait state. Now we close it after SocksTimeout
seconds. Bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha; reported by Mike Perry.

Previously, when we had the chosen_exit set but marked optional, and
we failed because we couldn't find an onion key for it, we'd just give
up on the circuit. But what we really want to do is try again, without
the forced exit node.
Spotted by rovv. Another case of bug 752. I think this might be
unreachable in our current code, but proposal 158 could change that.

GCC's interpretation of the C99 aliasing rules, to be charitable,
creates a dialect of C intended for a better programmers than I am
certain of my ability to be in all times. I just spent 2 hours
tracking down a platform-hyperspecific libevent bug that turned out to
be because of this, and darned if I ever want to do *that* again.
One of Linus's recent rants will give you a picture of why GCC's
behavior here can lead to fun surprises in your binaries:

This resolves bug 526, wherein we would crash if the following
events occurred in this order:
A: We're an OR, and one of our nameservers goes down.
B: We launch a probe to it to see if it's up again. (We do this hourly
in steady-state.)
C: Before the probe finishes, we reconfigure our nameservers,
usually because we got a SIGHUP and the resolve.conf file changed.
D: The probe reply comes back, or times out. (There is a five-second
window for this, after B has happens).
IOW, if one of our nameservers is down and our nameserver
configuration has changed, there were 5 seconds per hour where HUPing
the server was unsafe.
Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. Too obscure to backport.
svn:r18306
This fixes the last known case of bug 891, which could happen if two
hosts, A and B, disagree about how long a circuit has been open,
because of clock drift of some kind. Host A would then mark the
connection as is_bad_for_new_circs when it got too old and open a new
connection. In between when B receives a NETINFO cell on the new
conn, and when B receives a conn cell on the new circuit, the new
circuit will seem worse to B than the old one, and so B will mark it
as is_bad_for_new_circs in the second or third loop of
connection_or_group_set_badness().
Bugfix on 0.1.1.13-alpha. Bug found by rovv.
Not a backport candidate: the bug is too obscure and the fix too tricky.

crypto_global_init gets called. Also have it be crypto_global_init
that calls crypto_seed_rng, so we are not dependent on OpenSSL's
RAND_poll in these fiddly cases.
Should fix bug 907. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre6. Backport candidate.
