Connections can be dropped by the net_node layer,
unbeknownst to cryptonote_protocol, which would then
not flush any spans scheduled to that connection,
which would cause it to be only downloaded again
once it becomes the next span (possibly after a small
delay if it had been requested less than 5 seconds
ago).
A block queue is now placed between block download and
block processing. Blocks are now requested only from one
peer (unless starved).
Includes a new sync_info coommand.
All code which was using ip and port now uses a new IPv4 object,
subclass of a new network_address class. This will allow easy
addition of I2P addresses later (and also IPv6, etc).
Both old style and new style peer lists are now sent in the P2P
protocol, which is inefficient but allows peers using both
codebases to talk to each other. This will be removed in the
future. No other subclasses than IPv4 exist yet.
- only pause mining once we've got the lock (in practice, it'll
already be paused by another thread if we can't get the lock
at once though)
- do not call prepare_handle_incoming_blocks when we dismissed
all the blocks, it only causes cleanup_handle_incoming_blocks
to complain afterwards
8bdc86be protocol: speed up sync by minimizing duplicate work (moneromooo-monero)
61dfa310 epee: fix some log macros not printing context nicely (moneromooo-monero)
In particular, the prepare_handle_incoming_blocks call
is pretty lengthy, and entirely pointless in the common
case where several different connections will prepare
the exact same blocks.
- fix wrong block being used when a new block is received between
a node elaying a fluffy block and sending a new fluffy block
with txes a peer did not have
- misc a neverending ping pong requesting the same missing txids
when a new block is received in the meantime, causing the top
block to not be the one we need
- send the original fluffy block message block height when sending
a new fluffy block, not the current top height, which might
have been updated since
- avoid sending back the whole block blob when asking for txes,
send only the hash instead
- plus misc cleanup and additional debugging logs
0644eed7 Remove boost/foreach.cpp includes (Miguel Herranz)
36dd3e23 Replace BOOST_REVERSE_FOREACH with ranged for (Miguel Herranz)
629e3101 Replace BOOST_FOREACH with C++11 ranged for (Miguel Herranz)
This replaces the epee and data_loggers logging systems with
a single one, and also adds filename:line and explicit severity
levels. Categories may be defined, and logging severity set
by category (or set of categories). epee style 0-4 log level
maps to a sensible severity configuration. Log files now also
rotate when reaching 100 MB.
To select which logs to output, use the MONERO_LOGS environment
variable, with a comma separated list of categories (globs are
supported), with their requested severity level after a colon.
If a log matches more than one such setting, the last one in
the configuration string applies. A few examples:
This one is (mostly) silent, only outputting fatal errors:
MONERO_LOGS=*:FATAL
This one is very verbose:
MONERO_LOGS=*:TRACE
This one is totally silent (logwise):
MONERO_LOGS=""
This one outputs all errors and warnings, except for the
"verify" category, which prints just fatal errors (the verify
category is used for logs about incoming transactions and
blocks, and it is expected that some/many will fail to verify,
hence we don't want the spam):
MONERO_LOGS=*:WARNING,verify:FATAL
Log levels are, in decreasing order of priority:
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
Subcategories may be added using prefixes and globs. This
example will output net.p2p logs at the TRACE level, but all
other net* logs only at INFO:
MONERO_LOGS=*:ERROR,net*:INFO,net.p2p:TRACE
Logs which are intended for the user (which Monero was using
a lot through epee, but really isn't a nice way to go things)
should use the "global" category. There are a few helper macros
for using this category, eg: MGINFO("this shows up by default")
or MGINFO_RED("this is red"), to try to keep a similar look
and feel for now.
Existing epee log macros still exist, and map to the new log
levels, but since they're used as a "user facing" UI element
as much as a logging system, they often don't map well to log
severities (ie, a log level 0 log may be an error, or may be
something we want the user to see, such as an important info).
In those cases, I tried to use the new macros. In other cases,
I left the existing macros in. When modifying logs, it is
probably best to switch to the new macros with explicit levels.
The --log-level options and set_log commands now also accept
category settings, in addition to the epee style log levels.
Added a new command to the P2P protocol definitions to allow querying for support flags.
Implemented handling of new support flags command in net_node. Changed for_each callback template to include support flags. Updated print_connections command to show peer support flags.
Added p2p constant for signaling fluffy block support.
Added get_pool_transaction function to cryptnote_core.
Added new commands to cryptonote protocol for relaying fluffy blocks.
Implemented handling of fluffy block command in cryptonote protocol.
Enabled fluffy block support in node initial configuration.
Implemented get_testnet function in cryptonote_core.
Made it so that fluffy blocks only run on testnet.
This will be when we can't find common ground between the peer's
short chain history and our blockchain.
This fixes bad peers claiming a higher blockchain height from never
dropped, and keeping the node in synchronizing state forever, since
we will never get blocks from that peer.
