44bc988 [Wallet] Do not flush the wallet in AddToWalletIfInvolvingMe(..) (Cozz Lovan)
|
|
This avoids a regression for issues like #334 where high speed
repeated connections eventually run the HTTP client out of
sockets because all of theirs end up in time_wait.
Maybe the trade-off here is suboptimal, but if both choices will
fail then we prefer fewer changes until the root cause is solved.

It turns out that some miners have been staying with old versions of
Bitcoin Core because their software behaves poorly with persistent
connections and the Bitcoin Core thread and connection limits.
What happens is that underlying HTTP libraries leave connections open
invisibly to their users and then the user runs into the default four
thread limit. This looks like Bitcoin Core is unresponsive to RPC.
There are many things that should be improved in Bitcoin Core's behavior
here, e.g. supporting more concurrent connections, not tying up threads
for idle connections, disconnecting kept-alive connections when limits
are reached, etc. All are fairly big, risky changes.
Disabling keep-alive is a simple workaround. It's often not easy to turn
off the keep-alive support in the client where it may be buried in some
platform library.
If you are one of the few who really needs persistent connections you
probably know that you want them and can find a switch; while if you
don't and the misbehavior is hitting you it is hard to discover the
source of your problems is keepalive related. Given that it is best
to default to off until they're handled better.

aa279d6 Enforce minRelayTxFee on wallet created tx and add a maxtxfee option. (Gregory Maxwell)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previously the minRelayTxFee was only enforced on user specified values.
It was possible for smartfee to produce a fee below minRelayTxFee which
would just result in the transaction getting stuck because it can't be
relayed.
This also introduces a maxtxfee option which sets an absolute maximum
for any fee created by the wallet, with an intention of increasing
user confidence that the automatic fees won't burn them. This was
frequently a concern even before smartfees.
If the configured fee policy won't even allow the wallet to meet the relay
fee the transaction creation may be aborted.

- I saw this on http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/try_catch and
thought it would be a good idea
- also unify used format to better be able to search for exception
uses in our codebase

a206950 Introduce separate flushing modes (Pieter Wuille)
51ce901 Improve chainstate/blockindex disk writing policy (Pieter Wuille)
|
|
There are 3 pieces of data that are maintained on disk. The actual block
and undo data, the block index (which can refer to positions on disk),
and the chainstate (which refers to the best block hash).
Earlier, there was no guarantee that blocks were written to disk before
block index entries referring to them were written. This commit introduces
dirty flags for block index data, and delays writing entries until the actual
block data is flushed.
With this stricter ordering in writes, it is now safe to not always flush
after every block, so there is no need for the IsInitialBlockDownload()
check there - instead we just write whenever enough time has passed or
the cache size grows too large. Also updating the wallet's best known block
is delayed until this is done, otherwise the wallet may end up referring to an
unknown block.
In addition, only do a write inside the block processing loop if necessary
(because of cache size exceeded). Otherwise, move the writing to a point
after processing is done, after relaying.

Previously -proxy was not setting the proxy for IsLimited networks, so
if you set your configuration to be onlynet=tor you wouldn't get an
IPv4 proxy set.
The payment protocol gets its proxy configuration from the IPv4 proxy,
and so it would experience a connection leak.
This addresses issue #5355 and also clears up a cosmetic bug where
getinfo proxy output shows nothing when onlynet=tor is set.

- use __func__ instead of hard-coded function name for logging
- update -discover help message to reflect newly added parameter
interaction
- use DEFAULT_LISTEN in a parameter interaction check instead a hard coded

845c86d Do not use third party services for IP detection. (Gregory Maxwell)
|
|
This is a simplified re-do of closed pull #3088.
This patch eliminates the privacy and reliability problematic use
of centralized web services for discovering the node's addresses
for advertisement.
The Bitcoin protocol already allows your peers to tell you what
IP they think you have, but this data isn't trustworthy since
they could lie. So the challenge is using it without creating a
DOS vector.
To accomplish this we adopt an approach similar to the one used
by P2Pool: If we're announcing and don't have a better address
discovered (e.g. via UPNP) or configured we just announce to
each peer the address that peer told us. Since peers could
already replace, forge, or drop our address messages this cannot
create a new vulnerability... but if even one of our peers is
giving us a good address we'll eventually make a useful
advertisement.
We also may randomly use the peer-provided address for the
daily rebroadcast even if we otherwise have a seemingly routable
address, just in case we've been misconfigured (e.g. by UPNP).
To avoid privacy problems, we only do these things if discovery
is enabled.

This is less surprising.
Avoids the overload-the-CPU default of using N threads for script
verification as well as N threads for generation where N is number of cores.

Helps for troubleshooting.

Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup
initialisations like loading the block index. Until the node is ready,
return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup"
with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message).
This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g.,
they don't have to start it) but not yet available. It is used in
Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI
hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.

Previous refactorings broke the ability to rebuild the chainstate by deleting the chainstate
directory, resulting in an incorrect "Incorrect or no genesis block found" error message. Fix
that.
Also, improve the performance of ActivateBestBlockStep by using the skiplist to only discover
a few potential blocks to connect at a time, instead of all blocks forever - as we likely bail
out after connecting a single one anyway.
