When I removed version_supports_begindir, I accidentally removed the
mechanism we had been using to make a directory cache self-test its
directory port. This caused bug 6815, which caused 6814 (both in
0.2.4.2-alpha).
To fix this bug, I'm replacing the "anonymized_connection" argument to
directory_initiate_command_* with an enumeration to say how indirectly
to connect to a directory server. (I don't want to reinstate the
"version_supports_begindir" argument as "begindir_ok" or anything --
these functions already take too many arguments.)
For safety, I made sure that passing 0 and 1 for 'indirection' gives
the same result as you would have gotten before -- just in case I
missed any 0s or 1s.
With this patch, I dump the old kludge of using magic negative
numbers to indicate unknown bandwidths. I also compute each node's
weighted bandwidth exactly once, rather than computing it once in
a loop to compute the total weighted bandwidth and a second time in
a loop to find which one we picked.
Previously, we had incremented rand_bw so that when we later tested
"tmp >= rand_bw", we wouldn't have an off-by-one error. But instead,
it makes more sense to leave rand_bw alone and test "tmp > rand_bw".
Note that this is still safe. To take the example from the bug1203
writeup: Suppose that we have 3 nodes with bandwidth 1. So the
bandwidth array is { 1, 1, 1 }, and the total bandwidth is 3. We
choose rand_bw == 0, 1, or 2. With the first iteration of the loop,
tmp is now 1; with the second, tmp is 2; with the third, tmp is 3.
Now that our check is tmp > rand_bw, we will set i in the first
iteration of the loop iff rand_bw == 0; in the second iteration of
the loop iff rand_bw == 1, and in the third iff rand_bw == 2.
That's what we want.
Incidentally, this change makes the bug 6538 fix more ironclad: once
rand_bw is set to UINT64_MAX, tmp > rand_bw is obviously false
regardless of the value of tmp.
The old approach, because of its "tmp >= rand_bw &&
!i_has_been_chosen" check, would run through the second part of the
loop slightly slower than the first part. Now, we remove
i_has_been_chosen, and instead set rand_bw = UINT64_MAX, so that
every instance of the loop will do exactly the same amount of work
regardless of the initial value of rand_bw.
Fix for bug 6538.
This should make our preferred solution to #6538 easier to
implement, avoid a bunch of potential nastiness with excessive
int-vs-double math, and generally make the code there a little less
scary.
"But wait!" you say. "Is it really safe to do this? Won't the
results come out differently?"
Yes, but not much. We now round every weighted bandwidth to the
nearest byte before computing on it. This will make every node that
had a fractional part of its weighted bandwidth before either
slighty more likely or slightly less likely. Further, the rand_bw
value was only ever set with integer precision, so it can't
accurately sample routers with tiny fractional bandwidth values
anyway. Finally, doing repeated double-vs-uint64 comparisons is
just plain sad; it will involve an implicit cast to double, which is
never a fun thing.
The SMARTLIST_FOREACH macro is more convenient than BEGIN/END when
you have a nice short loop body, but using it for long bodies makes
your preprocessor tell the compiler that all the code is on the same
line. That causes grief, since compiler warnings and debugger lines
will all refer to that one line.
So, here's a new style rule: SMARTLIST_FOREACH blocks need to be
short.
Also, try to resolve some doxygen issues. First, define a magic
"This is doxygen!" macro so that we take the correct branch in
various #if/#else/#endifs in order to get the right documentation.
Second, add in a few grouping @{ and @} entries in order to get some
variables and fields to get grouped together.
This patch changes the total serverdesc threshold from 25% to 75%
and the exit threshold from 33% to 50%. The goal is to make
initially constructed circuits less horrible, and to make initial
less awful (since fetching directory information in parallel with
whatever the user is trying to do can hurt their performance).
Implements ticket 3196.
This is ticket 2479. Roger's original explanation was:
We have a series of bugs where relays publish a descriptor within
12 hours of their last descriptor, but the authorities drop it
because it's not different "enough" from the last one and it's
too close to the last one.
The original goal of this idea was to a) reduce the number of new
descriptors authorities accept (and thus have to store) and b)
reduce the total number of descriptors that clients and mirrors
fetch. It's a defense against bugs where relays publish a new
descriptor every minute.
Now that we're putting out one consensus per hour, we're doing
better at the total damage that can be caused by 'b'.
There are broader-scale design changes that would help here, and
we've had a trac entry open for years about how relays should
recognize that they're not in the consensus, or recognize when
their publish failed, and republish sooner.
In the mean time, I think we should change some of the parameters
to make the problem less painful.
When we started RefuseUnknownExits back in 0.2.2.11-alpha, we
started making exits act like they cache directory info (since they
need an up-to-date idea of who is really a router). But this
included fetching needless (unrecognized) authorities' certs, which
doesn't make any sense for them.
This is related to, but not necessarily the same as, the issue that
Ian reported for bug #2297.
(This patch is based on a patch from a user who I believe has asked
not to be named. If I'm wrong about that, please add the
appropriate name onto the changelog.)
This mitigates an attack proposed by wanoskarnet, in which all of a
client's bridges collude to restrict the exit nodes that the client
knows about. Fixes bug 5343.
These were found by looking for tor_snprintf() instances that were
preceeded closely by tor_malloc(), though I probably converted some
more snprintfs as well.
(In every case, make sure that the length variable (if any) is
removed, renamed, or lowered, so that anything else that might have
assumed a longer buffer doesn't exist.)
Some controllers want this so they can mess with Tor's configuration
for a while via the control port before actually letting Tor out of
the house.
We do this with a new DisableNetwork option, that prevents Tor from
making any outbound connections or binding any non-control
listeners. Additionally, it shuts down the same functionality as
shuts down when we are hibernating, plus the code that launches
directory downloads.
To make sure I didn't miss anything, I added a clause straight to
connection_connect, so that we won't even try to open an outbound
socket when the network is disabled. In my testing, I made this an
assert, but since I probably missed something, I've turned it into a
BUG warning for testing.
For printf, %f and %lf are synonymous, since floats are promoted to
doubles when passed as varargs. It's only for scanf that we need to
say "%lf" for doubles and "%f" for floats.
Apparenly, some older compilers think it's naughty to say %lf and like
to spew warnings about it.
Found by grarpamp.
Instead, use compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy everywhere.
One advantage of this is that compare_tor_addr_to_node_policy can
better distinguish 0.0.0.0 from "unknown", which caused a nasty bug
with microdesc users.
It's very easy for nodelist_add_node_family(sl,node) to accidentally
add 'node', and kind of hard to make sure that it omits it. Instead
of taking pains to leave 'node' out, let's instead make sure that we
always include it.
I also rename the function to nodelist_add_node_and_family, and
audit its users so that they don't add the node itself any longer,
since the function will take care of that for them.
Resolves bug 2616, which was not actually a bug.
Just looking at the "latest" consensus could give us a microdesc
consensus, if microdescs were enabled. That would make us decide
that every routerdesc was unlisted in the latest consensus and drop
them all: Ouch.
Fixes bug 3113; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
All of the routerset_contains*() functions return 0 if their
routerset_t argument is NULL. Therefore, there's no point in
doing "if (ExcludeNodes && routerset_contains*(ExcludeNodes...))",
for example.
This patch fixes every instance of
if (X && routerstatus_contains*(X,...))
Note that there are other patterns that _aren't_ redundant. For
example, we *don't* want to change:
if (EntryNodes && !routerstatus_contains(EntryNodes,...))
Fixes#2797. No bug here; just needless code.
Every node_t has either a routerinfo_t or a routerstatus_t, so every
node_t *should* have a nickname. Nonetheless, let's make sure in
hex_digest_nickname_matches().
Should quiet CID 434.
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!
The conflicts were mainly caused by the routerinfo->node transition.

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.
rransom notes correctly that now that we aren't checking our HSDir
flag, we have no actual reason to check whether we are listed in the
consensus at all when determining if we should act like a hidden
service directory.
The old behavior contributed to unreliability when hidden services and
hsdirs had different consensus versions, and so had different opinions
about who should be cacheing hsdir info.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha; based on discussions surrounding bug 2732.

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.
To make sure that a server learns if its IP has changed, the server
sometimes launches authority.z descriptor fetches from
update_router_descriptor_downloads. That's nice, but we're moving
towards a situation where update_router_descriptor_downloads doesn't
always get called. So this patch breaks the authority.z
check-and-fetch into a new function.
This function also renames last_routerdesc_download to a more
appropriate last_descriptor_download, and adds a new
update_all_descriptor_downloads() function.
(For now, this is unnecessary, since servers don't actually use
microdescriptors. But that could change, or bridges could start
using microdescriptors, and then we'll be glad this is refactored
nicely.)
To turn this on, set UseMicrodescriptors to "1" (or "auto" if you
want it on-if-you're-a-client). It should go auto-by-default once
0.2.3.1-alpha is released.
Because of our node logic, directory caches will never use
microdescriptors when they have the right routerinfo available.

IOW, if we were using TrackExitHosts, and we added an excluded node or
removed a node from exitnodes, we wouldn't actually remove the mapping
that points us at the new node.
Also, note with an XXX022 comment a place that I think we are looking
at the wrong string.
The routerset_equal function explicitly handles NULL inputs, so
there's no need to check inputs for NULL before calling it.
Also fix a bug in routerset_equal where a non-NULL routerset with no
entries didn't get counted as equal to a NULL routerset. This was
untriggerable, I think, but potentially annoying down the road.
If we're picking a random directory node, never pick an excluded one.
But if we've chosen a specific one (or all), allow it unless strictnodes
is set (in which case warn so the user knows it's their fault).
When warning that we won't connect to a strictly excluded node,
log what it was we were trying to do at that node.
When ExcludeNodes is set but StrictNodes is not set, we only use
non-excluded nodes if we can, but fall back to using excluded nodes
if none of those nodes is usable.
Resolved nontrivial conflict around rewrite_x_address_for_bridge and
learned_bridge_descriptor. Now, since leanred_bridge_descriptor works
on nodes, we must make sure that rewrite_node_address_for_bridge also
works on nodes.
