1168394d759b13af68acec6d5bfa04aaa24561f8 [wallet] Notify conflicted transactions in TransactionRemovedFromMempool (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
These boost signals were added in #9371, before we had a `TransactionRemovedFromMempool` method in the validation interface. The `NotifyEntryAdded` callback was used by validation to build a vector of conflicted transactions when connecting a block, which the wallet was notified of in the `BlockConnected` CValidationInterface callback.
Now that we have a `TransactionRemovedFromMempool` callback, we can fire that signal directly from the mempool for conflicted transactions.
Note that #9371 was implemented to ensure `-walletnotify` events were fired for these conflicted transaction. We inadvertently stopped sending these notifications in #16624 (Sep 2019 commit 7e89994). We should probably fix that, but in a different PR.

In PeerLogicValidation::PeerLogicValidation() we would schedule a lambda
function to execute later, capturing the local variable
`consensusParams` by reference.
Presumably this was considered safe because `consensusParams` is a
reference itself to a global variable which is not supposed to change,
but it can in tests.

This refactor does two things:
* Pass mempool in to PeerLogicValidation
* Pass m_mempool around where needed
|
|
The wallet now uses TransactionRemovedFromMempool to be notified about
conflicted wallet, and no other clients use vtxConflicted.

a029e18c2bf67dd00552b0f4bbc85fa2fa5b973b Use rolling bloom filter of recent block tx's for AlreadyHave() check (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
In order to determine whether to download or process a relayed transaction, we first try to check whether we already have the transaction -- either in the mempool, in our filter of recently rejected transactions, in our orphan pool, or already confirmed in a block.
Prior to this commit, the heuristic for checking whether a transaction was confirmed in a block is based on whether there's a coin cache entry corresponding to the 0- or 1-index vout of the tx. While that is a quick check, it is very imprecise (eg if those outputs were already spent in another block, we wouldn't detect that the transaction has already been confirmed) -- we can do better by just keeping a rolling bloom filter of the transactions in recent blocks, which will better capture the case of a transaction which has been confirmed and then fully spent.
This should reduce the bandwidth that we waste by requesting transactions which will not be accepted to the mempool.
To avoid relay problems for transactions which have been included in a recent block but then reorged out of the chain, we clear the bloom filter whenever a block is disconnected.

090b75c14be6b9ba2efe38a17d141c6e6af575cb p2p: Avoid allocating memory for addrKnown where we don't need it (User)
Pull request description:
We should allocate memory for addrKnown filter only for those peers which are expected to participate in address relay.
Currently, we do it for all peers (including SPV and block-relay-only), which results in extra RAM where it's not needed.
Upd:
In future, we would still allow SPVs to ask for addrs, so allocation still will be done by default.
However, they will be able to opt-out via [this proposal](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-October/017428.html) and then we could save some more memory.
This PR still saves memory for block-relay-only peers immediately after merging.
Top commit has no ACKs.

a27a2957ed9afbe5a96caa5f0f4cbec730d27460 [validation] Add CValidationState subclasses (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Carries out some remaining tidy-ups remaining after PR 15141:
- split ValidationState into TxValidationState and BlockValidationState (commit from ajtowns)
- various minor code style tidy-ups to the ValidationState class
- remove the useless `ret` parameter from `ValidationState::Invalid()`
- remove the now unused `first_invalid` parameter from `ProcessNewBlockHeaders()`
- remove the `fMissingInputs` parameter from `AcceptToMemoryPool()`, and deal with missing inputs the same way as other errors by using the `TxValidationState` object.
Tip for reviewers (thanks ryanofsky!): The first commit ("[validation] Add CValidationState subclasses" ) is huge and can be easier to start reviewing if you revert the rote, mechanical changes:
Substitute the commit hash of commit "[validation] Add CValidationState subclasses" for <CommitHash> in the commands below.
```sh
git checkout <CommitHash>
git grep -l ValidationState | xargs sed -i 's/BlockValidationState\|TxValidationState/CValidationState/g'
git grep -l ValidationResult | xargs sed -i 's/BlockValidationResult\|TxValidationResult/ValidationInvalidReason/g'
git grep -l MaybePunish | xargs sed -i 's/MaybePunishNode\(ForBlock\|ForTx\)/MaybePunishNode/g'
git diff HEAD^
```
After that it's possible to easily see the mechanical changes with:
```sh
git log -p -n1 -U0 --word-diff-regex=. <CommitHash>
```

Handle this failure in the same way as all other failures: call Invalid()
with the reasons for the failure.
|
|
No callers use the returned value in first_invalid. Remove it from the
function signature and don't set it in the function.
|
|
Split CValidationState into TxValidationState and BlockValidationState
to store validation results for transactions and blocks respectively.
|
|
So g_connman and g_banman globals can be removed next commit.

Pull request description:
**This refactors the network message deserialization.**
* It transforms the `CNetMessage` into a transport protocol agnostic message container.
* A new class `TransportDeserializer` (unique pointer of `CNode`) is introduced, handling the network buffer reading and the decomposing to a `CNetMessage`
* **No behavioral changes** (in terms of disconnecting, punishing)
* Moves the checksum finalizing into the `SocketHandler` thread (finalizing was in `ProcessMessages` before)
The **optional last commit** makes the `TransportDeserializer` following an adapter pattern (polymorphic interface) to make it easier to later add a V2 transport protocol deserializer.
Intentionally not touching the sending part.
Pre-Requirement for BIP324 (v2 message transport protocol).

Pull request description:
This change allows peers to request transactions even after they've expired from mapRelay and even if they're not doing mempool requests. This is intended to allow for CPFP of old transactions -- if parent tx P wasn't relayed due to low fees, then a higher fee rate child C is relayed, peers will currently request the parent P, but we prior to this patch, we will not relay it due to it not being in mapRelay.

Pull request description:
We no longer send BIP 61 REJECT messages, so there's no need to set
a REJECT code in the CValidationState object.
Note that there is a minor bug fix in p2p behaviour here. Because the
call to `MaybePunishNode()` in `PeerLogicValidation::BlockChecked()` only
previously happened if the REJECT code was > 0 and < `REJECT_INTERNAL`,
then there are cases were `MaybePunishNode()` can get called where it
wasn't previously:
- when `AcceptBlockHeader()` fails with `CACHED_INVALID`.
- when `AcceptBlockHeader()` fails with `BLOCK_MISSING_PREV`.
Note that `BlockChecked()` cannot fail with an 'internal' reject code. The
only internal reject code was `REJECT_HIGHFEE`, which was only set in
ATMP.

fa25f43ac5692082dba3f90456c501eb08f1b75c p2p: Remove BIP61 reject messages (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Reject messages (BIP 61) appear in the following settings:
* Parsing of reject messages (in case `-debug=net` is set, off by default). This has only been used for a single `LogPrint` call for several releases now. Such logging is completely meaningless to us and should thus be removed.
* The sending of reject messages (in case `-enablebip61` is set, off by default). This can be used to debug a node that is under our control. Instead of hacking this debugging into the p2p protocol, it could be more easily achieved by parsing the debug log. (Use `-printtoconsole` to have it as stream, or read from the `debug.log` file like our python function `assert_debug_log` in the test framework does)
Having to maintain all of this logic and code to accommodate debugging, which can be achieved by other means a lot easier, is a burden. It makes review on net processing changes a lot harder, since the reject message logic has to be carried around without introducing any errors or DOS vectors.

0c62e3aa73839e97e65a3155e06a98d84b700a1e New regression testing for CVE-2018-17144, CVE-2012-2459, and CVE-2010-5137. (lucash-dev)
38bfca6bb2ad68719415e9c54a981441052da072 Added comments referencing multiple CVEs in tests and production code. (lucash-dev)
Pull request description:
This functional test includes two scenarios that test for regressions of vulnerabilities, but they are only briefly described. There are freely available documents explaining in detail the issues, but without explicit mentions, the developer trying to maintain the code needs an additional step of digging in commit history and PR conversations to figure it out.
Added comments to explicitly mention CVE-2018-17144 and CVE-2012-2459, for more complete documentation.
This improves developer experience by making understanding the tests easier.

Recent questions have come up regarding dynamic service registration
(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16442#discussion_r308702676
and the assumeutxo project, which needs to dynamically flip NODE_NETWORK).
While investigating how dynamic service registration might work, I was
confused about how we convey local services to peers. This adds some
documentation that hopefully clarifies this process.

Pull request description:
Transaction relay is optimized for a combination of redundancy/robustness as well as bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.
Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:
(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of a given transaction.
(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to achieve a network split).
We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is much more expensive for an adversary.
After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

ACK 0ba08020c9791f7caf5986ad6490c16a2b66cd83 -- code review, ran tests. ran it on mainnet for a couple of days with MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS upped from 2 to 16 and didn't observe any unexpected behaviour: it disconnected a couple of peers that tried sending inv's, and it successfully did compact block relay with some block relay peers.
TheBlueMatt:
re-utACK 0ba08020c9791f7caf5986ad6490c16a2b66cd83. Pointed out that stats.fRelayTxes was sometimes uninitialized for blocksonly peers (though its not a big deal and only effects RPC), which has since been fixed here. Otherwise changes are pretty trivial so looks good.

If we set fRelay=false in our VERSION message, and a peer sends an INV or TX
message anyway, disconnect. Since we use fRelay=false to minimize bandwidth,
we should not tolerate remaining connected to a peer violating the protocol.

We don't want relay of addr messages to leak information about
these network links.
