2017-01-05Break addnode out from the outbound connection limits.Gregory Maxwell
Previously addnodes were in competition with outbound connections for access to the eight outbound slots. One result of this is that frequently a node with several addnode configured peers would end up connected to none of them, because while the addnode loop was in its two minute sleep the automatic connection logic would fill any free slots with random peers. This is particularly unwelcome to users trying to maintain links to specific nodes for fast block relay or purposes. Another result is that a group of nine or more nodes which are have addnode configured towards each other can become partitioned from the public network. This commit introduces a new limit of eight connections just for addnode peers which is not subject to any of the other connection limitations (including maxconnections). The choice of eight is sufficient so that under no condition would a user find themselves connected to fewer addnoded peers than previously. It is also low enough that users who are confused about the significance of more connections and have gotten too copy-and-paste happy will not consume more than twice the slot usage of a typical user. Any additional load on the network resulting from this will likely be offset by a reduction in users applying even more wasteful workaround for the prior behavior. The retry delays are reduced to avoid nodes sitting around without their added peers up, but are still sufficient to prevent overly aggressive repeated connections. The reduced delays also make the system much more responsive to the addnode RPC. Ban-disconnects are also exempted for peers added via addnode since the outbound addnode logic ignores bans. Previously it would ban an addnode then immediately reconnect to it. A minor change was also made to CSemaphoreGrant so that it is possible to re-acquire via an object whos grant was moved.

- Drop the interruption point directly after the pnode allocation. This would be leaky if hit. - Rearrange thread creation so that the socket handler comes first

2016-11-25net: push only raw data into CConnmanCory Fields
This fixes one of the last major layer violations in the networking stack. The network side is no longer in charge of message serialization, so it is now decoupled from Bitcoin structures. Only the header is serialized and attached to the payload.

2016-11-03net: switch all callers to connman for pushing messagesCory Fields
Drop all of the old stuff.
2016-11-03connman is in charge of pushing messagesCory Fields
The changes here are dense and subtle, but hopefully all is more explicit than before. - CConnman is now in charge of sending data rather than the nodes themselves. This is necessary because many decisions need to be made with all nodes in mind, and a model that requires the nodes calling up to their manager quickly turns to spaghetti. - The per-node-serializer (ssSend) has been replaced with a (quasi-)const send-version. Since the send version for serialization can only change once per connection, we now explicitly tag messages with INIT_PROTO_VERSION if they are sent before the handshake. With this done, there's no need to lock for access to nSendVersion. Also, a new stream is used for each message, so there's no need to lock during the serialization process. - This takes care of accounting for optimistic sends, so the nOptimisticBytesWritten hack can be removed. - -dropmessagestest and -fuzzmessagestest have not been preserved, as I suspect they haven't been used in years.
2016-11-01Use RelevantServices instead of node_network in AttemptToEvict.Gregory Maxwell
Use of node_network here is really meant to be a proxy of "likely to send us blocks in the future". RelevantServices is the right criteria now.

2016-10-25Make connect=0 disable automatic outbound connections.Gregory Maxwell
Otherwise it just responds to this obvious bit of configuration by trying to connect to "0" in a loop.
2016-10-24[net] Remove assert(nMaxInbound > 0)MarcoFalke
nMaxInbound might very well be 0 or -1, if the user prefers to keep a small number of maxconnections. Note: nMaxInbound of -1 means that the user set maxconnections to 8 or less, but we still want to keep an additional slot for the feeler connection.
2016-10-24Qt: Add GUI feedback and control of network activity state.Jon Lund Steffensen
Add getNetworkActive()/setNetworkActive() method to client model. Send network active status through NotifyNetworkActiveChanged. Indicate in tool tip of gui status bar network indicator whether network activity is disabled. Indicate in debug window whether network activity is disabled and add button to allow user to toggle network activity state.
2016-10-24Allow network activity to be temporarily suspended.Jon Lund Steffensen
Added the function SetNetworkActive() which when called with argument set to false disconnects all nodes and sets the flag fNetworkActive to false. As long as this flag is false no new connections are attempted and no incoming connections are accepted. Network activity is reenabled by calling the function with argument true.

2016-10-19Make dnsseed's definition of acute need include relevant services.Gregory Maxwell
We normally prefer to connect to peers offering the relevant services. If we're not connected to enough peers with relevant services, we probably don't know about them and could use dnsseed's help.

2016-10-17Kill insecure_random and associated global stateWladimir J. van der Laan
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests. This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically seeded on creation. This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee rounding, or randomization for coin selection. As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this should also get rid of the potential race conditions. - I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for discussion...) - The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit, it does not need to be random nor unpredictable. - To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is passed into PushAddress as appropriate. There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.

Rather than doing a circle and re-resolving the node's IP, just use the one from nodestats directly. This requires syncing the addr field from CNode.
2016-09-28net: Consistent checksum handlingWladimir J. van der Laan
In principle, the checksums of P2P packets are simply 4-byte blobs which are the first four bytes of SHA256(SHA256(payload)). Currently they are handled as little-endian 32-bit integers half of the time, as blobs the other half, sometimes copying the one to the other, resulting in somewhat confused code. This PR changes the handling to be consistent both at packet creation and receiving, making it (I think) easier to understand.

2016-09-15net: No longer send local address in addrMeWladimir J. van der Laan
After #8594 the addrFrom sent by a node is not used anymore at all, so don't bother sending it. Also mitigates the privacy issue in (#8616). It doesn't completely solve the issue as GetLocalAddress is also called in AdvertiseLocal, but at least when advertising addresses it stands out less as *our* address.
2016-09-14net: fix maxuploadtarget settingCory Fields
This was broken by 63cafa6329e1a. Note that while this fixes the settings, it doesn't fix the actual usage of -maxuploadtarget completely, as there is currently a bug in the nOptimisticBytesWritten accounting that causes a delayed response if the target is reached. That bug will be addressed separately.
