The OutboundBindAddress option is useful for making sure that all of
your outbond connections use a given interface. But when connecting
to 127.0.0.1 (or ::1 even) it's important to actually have the
connection come _from_ localhost, since lots of programs running on
localhost use the source address to authenticate that the connection
is really coming from the same host.
Our old code always bound to OutboundBindAddress, whether connecting
to localhost or not. This would potentially break DNS servers on
localhost, and socks proxies on localhost. This patch changes the
behavior so that we only look at OutboundBindAddress when connecting
to a non-loopback address.
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.
In C, the code "char x[10]; if (x) {...}" always takes the true branch of
the if statement. Coverity notices this now.
In some cases, we were testing arrays to make sure that an operation
we wanted to do would suceed. Those cases are now always-true.
In some cases, we were testing arrays to see if something was _set_.
Those caes are now tests for strlen(s), or tests for
!tor_mem_is_zero(d,len).
Changes to directory request statistics:
- Rename GEOIP statistics to DIRREQ statistics, because they now include
more than only GeoIP-based statistics, whereas other statistics are
GeoIP-dependent, too.
- Rename output file from geoip-stats to dirreq-stats.
- Add new config option DirReqStatistics that is required to measure
directory request statistics.
- Clean up ChangeLog.
Also ensure that entry guards statistics have access to a local GeoIP
database.
Added a sanity check in config.c and a check in directory.c
directory_initiate_command_rend() to catch any direct connection attempts
when a socks proxy is configured.
The rest of the code was only including event.h so that it could see
EV_READ and EV_WRITE, which we were using as part of the
connection_watch_events interface for no very good reason.
The subversion $Id$ fields made every commit force a rebuild of
whatever file got committed. They were not actually useful for
telling the version of Tor files in the wild.

(The unfixed ones are being downgraded to regular XXXs mainly on the rationale that they don't seem to be exploding Tor, and they were apparently not showstoppers for 0.2.0.x-final.)
svn:r17682
Initial conversion of uint32_t addr to tor_addr_t addr in connection_t and related types. Most of the Tor wire formats using these new types are in, but the code to generate and use it is not. This is a big patch. Let me know what it breaks for you.
svn:r16435
Make generic address manipulation functions work better. Switch address policy code to use tor_addr_t, so it can handle IPv6. That is a good place to start.
svn:r16178
as soon as you run out of working bridges, rather than waiting
for ten failures -- which will never happen if you have less than
ten bridges.
svn:r15368
Only dump all guard node status to the log when the guard node status actually changes. Downgrade the 4 most common remaining INFO log messages to DEBUG.
svn:r14069
Answer one xxx020 item; move 7 other ones to a new "XXX020rc" category: they should get fixed before we cut a release candidate. arma: please review these to see whether you have fixes/answers for any. Please check out the other 14 XXX020s to see if any look critical for the release candidate.
svn:r13640
Resolved problems with (re-)fetching hidden service descriptors.
Before, v0 descriptors were not fetched at all (fix on 0.2.0.18-alpha),
re-fetching of v2 descriptors did not stop when a v0 descriptor was
received (fix on 0.2.0.18-alpha), and re-fetching of v2 descriptors did
not work in all cases (fix on 0.2.0.19-alpha).
