cmd/swarm/swarm-smoke: improve smoke tests (#1337)
swarm/network: remove dead code (#1339)
swarm/network: remove FetchStore and SyncChunkStore in favor of NetStore (#1342)
This change restructures the internals of p2p/discover to make room for
the discv5 code which will soon be added to this package.
- packet type names now have a "V4" suffix.
- ListenUDP returns *UDPv4 instead of *Table. This technically breaks
the API but the only caller in go-ethereum is package p2p, which uses
a compatible interface and doesn't need changes.
- The internal transport interface is changed to make Table reusable for v5.
- The 'lookup' code moves from table to transport. This required
updating the lookup unit test to use udpTest instead of a custom transport.

This resolves a minor issue where neighbors responses containing less
than 16 nodes would bump the failure counter, removing the node. One
situation where this can happen is a private deployment where the total
number of extant nodes is less than 16.
Issue found by @jsying.
dummyHook's fields were concurrently written by nodes and read by
the test. The simplest solution is to protect all fields with a mutex.

* p2p/discover: remove unused function
* p2p/enode: use localItemKey for local sequence number
I added localItemKey for this purpose in #18963, but then
forgot to actually use it. This changes the database layout
yet again and requires bumping the version number.
This change
- implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
- replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
implementation changes.
- reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
processing to prevent database contention.
- implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
- adds a unit test for the new client manager.
- adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
control functions through the new API.
I added localItemKey for this purpose in #18963, but then
forgot to actually use it. This changes the database layout
yet again and requires bumping the version number.
* swarm/network: DRY out repeated giga comment
I not necessarily agree with the way we wait for event propagation.
But I truly disagree with having duplicated giga comments.
* p2p/simulations: encapsulate Node.Up field so we avoid data races
The Node.Up field was accessed concurrently without "proper" locking.
There was a lock on Network and that was used sometimes to access
the field. Other times the locking was missed and we had
a data race.
For example: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/18464
The case above was solved, but there were still intermittent/hard to
reproduce races. So let's solve the issue permanently.
resolves: ethersphere/go-ethereum#1146
* p2p/simulations: fix unmarshal of simulations.Node
Making Node.Up field private in 13292ee897e345045fbfab3bda23a77589a271c1
broke TestHTTPNetwork and TestHTTPSnapshot. Because the default
UnmarshalJSON does not handle unexported fields.
Important: The fix is partial and not proper to my taste. But I cut
scope as I think the fix may require a change to the current
serialization format. New ticket:
https://github.com/ethersphere/go-ethereum/issues/1177
* p2p/simulations: Add a sanity test case for Node.Config UnmarshalJSON
* p2p/simulations: revert back to defer Unlock() pattern for Network
It's a good patten to call `defer Unlock()` right after `Lock()` so
(new) error cases won't miss to unlock. Let's get back to that pattern.
The patten was abandoned in 85a79b3ad3c5863f8612d25c246bcfad339f36b7,
while fixing a data race. That data race does not exist anymore,
since the Node.Up field got hidden behind its own lock.
* p2p/simulations: consistent naming for test providers Node.UnmarshalJSON
* p2p/simulations: remove JSON annotation from private fields of Node
As unexported fields are not serialized.
* p2p/simulations: fix deadlock in Network.GetRandomDownNode()
Problem: GetRandomDownNode() locks -> getDownNodeIDs() ->
GetNodes() tries to lock -> deadlock
On Network type, unexported functions must assume that `net.lock`
is already acquired and should not call exported functions which
might try to lock again.
* p2p/simulations: ensure method conformity for Network
Connect* methods were moved to p2p/simulations.Network from
swarm/network/simulation. However these new methods did not follow
the pattern of Network methods, i.e., all exported method locks
the whole Network either for read or write.
* p2p/simulations: fix deadlock during network shutdown
`TestDiscoveryPersistenceSimulationSimAdapter` often got into deadlock.
The execution was stuck on two locks, i.e, `Kademlia.lock` and
`p2p/simulations.Network.lock`. Usually the test got stuck once in each
20 executions with high confidence.
`Kademlia` was stuck in `Kademlia.EachAddr()` and `Network` in
`Network.Stop()`.
Solution: in `Network.Stop()` `net.lock` must be released before
calling `node.Stop()` as stopping a node (somehow - I did not find
the exact code path) causes `Network.InitConn()` to be called from
`Kademlia.SuggestPeer()` and that blocks on `net.lock`.

This change clears up confusion around the two ways in which nodes
can be added to the table.
When a neighbors packet is received as a reply to findnode, the nodes
contained in the reply are added as 'seen' entries if sufficient space
is available.
When a ping is received and the endpoint verification has taken place,
the remote node is added as a 'verified' entry or moved to the front of
the bucket if present. This also updates the node's IP address and port
if they have changed.
This change resolves multiple issues around handling of endpoint proofs.
The proof is now done separately for each IP and completing the proof
requires a matching ping hash.
Also remove waitping because it's equivalent to sleep. waitping was
slightly more efficient, but that may cause issues with findnode if
packets are reordered and the remote end sees findnode before pong.
Logging of received packets was hitherto done after handling the packet,
which meant that sent replies were logged before the packet that
generated them. This change splits up packet handling into 'preverify'
and 'handle'. The error from 'preverify' is logged, but 'handle' happens
after the message is logged. This fixes the order. Packet logs now
contain the node ID.

This change extends the peer metrics collection:

- meters the peer traffic separately for every peer
- creates event feed for the peer events
- emits the peer events
This PR adds enode.LocalNode and integrates it into the p2p
subsystem. This new object is the keeper of the local node
record. For now, a new version of the record is produced every
time the client restarts. We'll make it smarter to avoid that in
the future.
There are a couple of other changes in this commit: discovery now
waits for all of its goroutines at shutdown and the p2p server
now closes the node database after discovery has shut down. This
fixes a leveldb crash in tests. p2p server startup is faster
because it doesn't need to wait for the external IP query
anymore.
This fixes a rare deadlock with the inproc adapter:
- A node is stopped, which acquires Network.lock.
- The protocol code being simulated (swarm/network in my case)
waits for its goroutines to shut down.
- One of those goroutines calls into the simulation to add a peer,
which waits for Network.lock.
The fix for the deadlock is really simple, just release the lock
before stopping the simulation node.
Other changes in this PR clean up the exec adapter so it reports
node startup errors better and remove the docker adapter because
it just adds overhead.
In the exec adapter, node information is now posted to a one-shot
server. This avoids log parsing and allows reporting startup
errors to the simulation host.
A small change in package node was needed because simulation
nodes use port zero. Node.{HTTP,WS}Endpoint now return the live
endpoints after startup by checking the TCP listener.
Package p2p/enode provides a generalized representation of p2p nodes
which can contain arbitrary information in key/value pairs. It is also
the new home for the node database. The "v4" identity scheme is also
moved here from p2p/enr to remove the dependency on Ethereum crypto from
that package.
Record signature handling is changed significantly. The identity scheme
registry is removed and acceptable schemes must be passed to any method
that needs identity. This means records must now be validated explicitly
after decoding.
The enode API is designed to make signature handling easy and safe: most
APIs around the codebase work with enode.Node, which is a wrapper around
a valid record. Going from enr.Record to enode.Node requires a valid
signature.
* p2p/discover: port to p2p/enode
This ports the discovery code to the new node representation in
p2p/enode. The wire protocol is unchanged, this can be considered a
refactoring change. The Kademlia table can now deal with nodes using an
arbitrary identity scheme. This requires a few incompatible API changes:
- Table.Lookup is not available anymore. It used to take a public key
as argument because v4 protocol requires one. Its replacement is
LookupRandom.
- Table.Resolve takes *enode.Node instead of NodeID. This is also for
v4 protocol compatibility because nodes cannot be looked up by ID
alone.
- Types Node and NodeID are gone. Further commits in the series will be
fixes all over the the codebase to deal with those removals.
* p2p: port to p2p/enode and discovery changes
This adapts package p2p to the changes in p2p/discover. All uses of
discover.Node and discover.NodeID are replaced by their equivalents from
p2p/enode.
New API is added to retrieve the enode.Node instance of a peer. The
behavior of Server.Self with discovery disabled is improved. It now
tries much harder to report a working IP address, falling back to
127.0.0.1 if no suitable address can be determined through other means.
These changes were needed for tests of other packages later in the
series.
* p2p/simulations, p2p/testing: port to p2p/enode
No surprises here, mostly replacements of discover.Node, discover.NodeID
with their new equivalents. The 'interesting' API changes are:
- testing.ProtocolSession tracks complete nodes, not just their IDs.
- adapters.NodeConfig has a new method to create a complete node.
These changes were needed to make swarm tests work.
Note that the NodeID change makes the code incompatible with old
simulation snapshots.
* whisper/whisperv5, whisper/whisperv6: port to p2p/enode
This port was easy because whisper uses []byte for node IDs and
URL strings in the API.
* eth: port to p2p/enode
Again, easy to port because eth uses strings for node IDs and doesn't
care about node information in any way.
* les: port to p2p/enode
Apart from replacing discover.NodeID with enode.ID, most changes are in
the server pool code. It now deals with complete nodes instead
of (Pubkey, IP, Port) triples. The database format is unchanged for now,
but we should probably change it to use the node database later.
* node: port to p2p/enode
This change simply replaces discover.Node and discover.NodeID with their
new equivalents.
* swarm/network: port to p2p/enode
Swarm has its own node address representation, BzzAddr, containing both
an overlay address (the hash of a secp256k1 public key) and an underlay
address (enode:// URL).
There are no changes to the BzzAddr format in this commit, but certain
operations such as creating a BzzAddr from a node ID are now impossible
because node IDs aren't public keys anymore.
Most swarm-related changes in the series remove uses of
NewAddrFromNodeID, replacing it with NewAddr which takes a complete node
as argument. ToOverlayAddr is removed because we can just use the node
ID directly.

* p2p/discover: move bond logic from table to transport
This commit moves node endpoint verification (bonding) from the table to
the UDP transport implementation. Previously, adding a node to the table
entailed pinging the node if needed. With this change, the ping-back
logic is embedded in the packet handler at a lower level.
It is easy to verify that the basic protocol is unchanged: we still
require a valid pong reply from the node before findnode is accepted.
The node database tracked the time of last ping sent to the node and
time of last valid pong received from the node. Node endpoints are
considered verified when a valid pong is received and the time of last
pong was called 'bond time'. The time of last ping sent was unused. In
this commit, the last ping database entry is repurposed to mean last
ping _received_. This entry is now used to track whether the node needs
to be pinged back.
The other big change is how nodes are added to the table. We used to add
nodes in Table.bond, which ran when a remote node pinged us or when we
encountered the node in a neighbors reply. The transport now adds to the
table directly after the endpoint is verified through ping. To ensure
that the Table can't be filled just by pinging the node repeatedly, we
retain the isInitDone check. During init, only nodes from neighbors
replies are added.
* p2p/discover: reduce findnode failure counter on success
* p2p/discover: remove unused parameter of loadSeedNodes
* p2p/discover: improve ping-back check and comments
* p2p/discover: add neighbors reply nodes always, not just during init
These RPC calls are analogous to Parity's parity_addReservedPeer and
parity_removeReservedPeer.
They are useful for adjusting the trusted peer set during runtime,
without requiring restarting the server.
This commit adds all changes needed for the merge of swarm-network-rewrite.
The changes:
- build: increase linter timeout
- contracts/ens: export ensNode
- log: add Output method and enable fractional seconds in format
- metrics: relax test timeout
- p2p: reduced some log levels, updates to simulation packages
- rpc: increased maxClientSubscriptionBuffer to 20000
ToECDSAPub was unsafe because it returned a non-nil key with nil X, Y in
case of invalid input. This change replaces ToECDSAPub with
UnmarshalPubkey across the codebase.
This applies spec changes from ethereum/EIPs#1049 and adds support for
pluggable identity schemes.
Some care has been taken to make the "v4" scheme standalone. It uses
public APIs only and could be moved out of package enr at any time.
A couple of minor changes were needed to make identity schemes work:
- The sequence number is now updated in Set instead of when signing.
- Record is now copy-safe, i.e. calling Set on a shallow copy doesn't
modify the record it was copied from.
This change removes a peer information from dialing history
when peer is removed from static list. It allows to force a
server to re-dial concrete peer if it is needed.
In our case we are running geth node on mobile devices, and
it is common for a network connection to flap on mobile.
Almost every time it flaps or network connection is changed
from cellular to wifi peers are disconnected with read
timeout. And usually it takes 30 seconds (default expiration
timeout) to recover connection with static peers after
connectivity is restored.
This change allows us to reconnect with peers almost
immediately and it seems harmless enough.
I forgot to change the check in udp.go when I changed Table.bond to be
based on lastPong instead of node presence in db. Rename lastPong to
bondTime and add hasBond so it's clearer what this DB key is used for
now.

* p2p: add DialRatio for configuration of inbound vs. dialed connections
* p2p: add connection flags to PeerInfo
* p2p/netutil: add SameNet, DistinctNetSet
* p2p/discover: improve revalidation and seeding
This changes node revalidation to be periodic instead of on-demand. This
should prevent issues where dead nodes get stuck in closer buckets
because no other node will ever come along to replace them.
Every 5 seconds (on average), the last node in a random bucket is
checked and moved to the front of the bucket if it is still responding.
If revalidation fails, the last node is replaced by an entry of the
'replacement list' containing recently-seen nodes.
Most close buckets are removed because it's very unlikely we'll ever
encounter a node that would fall into any of those buckets.
Table seeding is also improved: we now require a few minutes of table
membership before considering a node as a potential seed node. This
should make it less likely to store short-lived nodes as potential
seeds.
* p2p/discover: fix nits in UDP transport
We would skip sending neighbors replies if there were fewer than
maxNeighbors results and CheckRelayIP returned an error for the last
one. While here, also resolve a TODO about pong reply tokens.
This commit affects p2p/discv5 "topic discovery" by running it on
the same UDP port where the old discovery works. This is realized
by giving an "unhandled" packet channel to the old v4 discovery
packet handler where all invalid packets are sent. These packets
are then processed by v5. v5 packets are always invalid when
interpreted by v4 and vice versa. This is ensured by adding one
to the first byte of the packet hash in v5 packets.
DiscoveryV5Bootnodes is also changed to point to new bootnodes
that are implementing the changed packet format with modified
hash. Existing and new v5 bootnodes are both running on different
ports ATM.

p2p/simulations: introduce dialBan
- Refactor simulations/network connection getters to support
avoiding simultaneous dials between two peers If two peers dial
simultaneously, the connection will be dropped to help avoid
that, we essentially lock the connection object with a
timestamp which serves as a ban on dialing for a period of time
(dialBanTimeout).
- The connection getter InitConn can be wrapped and passed to the
nodes via adapters.NodeConfig#Reachable field and then used by
the respective services when they initiate connections. This
massively stablise the emerging connectivity when running with
hundreds of nodes bootstrapping a network.
p2p: add Inbound public method to p2p.Peer
p2p/simulations: Add server id to logs to support debugging
in-memory network simulations when multiple peers are logging.
p2p: SetupConn now returns error. The dialer checks the error and
only calls resolve if the actual TCP dial fails.
This commit introduces a network simulation framework which
can be used to run simulated networks of devp2p nodes. The
intention is to use this for testing protocols, performing
benchmarks and visualising emergent network behaviour.
Using a Timer over Ticker seems to be a lot better, though I cannot fully
account for why that it behaves so (since Ticker should be more bursty, but not
necessarily more active over time, but that may depend on how long window it
uses to decide on when to tick next)

The p2p packages can now be configured to restrict all communication to
a certain subset of IP networks. This feature is meant to be used for
private networks.
The discovery DHT contains a number of hosts with LAN and loopback IPs.
These get relayed because some implementations do not perform any checks
on the IP.
go-ethereum already prevented relay in most cases because it verifies
that the host actually exists before adding it to the local table. But
this verification causes other issues. We have received several reports
where people's VPSs got shut down by hosting providers because sending
packets to random LAN hosts is indistinguishable from a slow port scan.
The new check prevents sending random packets to LAN by discarding LAN
IPs sent by Internet hosts (and loopback IPs from LAN and Internet
hosts). The new check also blacklists almost all currently registered
special-purpose networks assigned by IANA to avoid inciting random
responses from services in the LAN.
As another precaution against abuse of the DHT, ports below 1024 are now
considered invalid.
The new package contains three things for now:
- IP network list parsing and matching
- The WSAEMSGSIZE workaround, which is duplicated in p2p/discover and
p2p/discv5.
Port mapper auto discovery used to run immediately after parsing the
--nat flag, giving it a slight performance boost. But this is becoming
inconvenient because we create node.Node for all geth operations
including account management and bare chain interaction. Delay
autodiscovery until the first use instead, which avoids any network
interaction until the node is actually started.
On Windows, UDPConn.ReadFrom returns an error for packets larger
than the receive buffer. The error is not marked temporary, causing
our loop to exit when the first oversized packet arrived. The fix
is to treat this particular error as temporary.
Fixes: #1579, #2087
Updates: #2082
This change makes it possible to add peers without providing their IP
address. The endpoint of the target node is resolved using the discovery
protocol.
nodeDB.querySeeds was not safe for concurrent use but could be called
concurrenty on multiple goroutines in the following case:
- the table was empty
- a timed refresh started
- a lookup was started and initiated refresh
These conditions are unlikely to coincide during normal use, but are
much more likely to occur all at once when the user's machine just woke
from sleep. The root cause of the issue is that querySeeds reused the
same leveldb iterator until it was exhausted.
This commit moves the refresh scheduling logic into its own goroutine
(so only one refresh is ever active) and changes querySeeds to not use
a persistent iterator. The seed node selection is now more random and
ignores nodes that have not been contacted in the last 5 days.
PR #1621 changed Table locking so the mutex is not held while a
contested node is being pinged. If multiple nodes ping the local node
during this time window, multiple ping packets will be sent to the
contested node. The changes in this commit prevent multiple packets by
tracking whether the node is being replaced.
If the timeout fired (even just nanoseconds) before the deadline of the
next pending reply, the timer was not rescheduled. The timer would've
been rescheduled anyway once the next packet was sent, but there were
cases where no next packet could ever be sent due to the locking issue
fixed in the previous commit.
As timing-related bugs go, this issue had been present for a long time
and I could never reproduce it. The test added in this commit did
reproduce the issue on about one out of 15 runs.
Table.mutex was being held while waiting for a reply packet, which
effectively made many parts of the whole stack block on that packet,
including the net_peerCount RPC call.
Lookup calls would spin out of control when network connectivity was
lost. The throttling that was in place only took effect when the table
returned zero results, which doesn't happen very often.
The new throttling should not have a negative impact when the host is
online. Lookups against the network take some time and dials for all
results must complete or hit the cache before a new one is started. This
usually takes longer than four seconds, leaving online lookups
unaffected.
Fixes#1296
As of this commit, we no longer rely on the protocol handler to report
write errors in a timely fashion. When a write fails, shutdown is
initiated immediately and no new writes can start. This will also
prevent new writes from starting after Server.Stop has been called.
The most visible change is event-based dialing, which should be an
improvement over the timer-based system that we have at the moment.
The dialer gets a chance to compute new tasks whenever peers change or
dials complete. This is better than checking peers on a timer because
dials happen faster. The dialer can now make more precise decisions
about whom to dial based on the peer set and we can test those
decisions without actually opening any sockets.
Peer management is easier to test because the tests can inject
connections at checkpoints (after enc handshake, after protocol
handshake).
Most of the handshake stuff is now part of the RLPx code. It could be
exported or move to its own package because it is no longer entangled
with Server logic.
The previous limit was 10MB which is unacceptable for all kinds
of reasons, the most important one being that we don't want to
allow the remote side to make us allocate 10MB at handshake time.
The returned reason is currently not used except for the log
message. This change makes the log messages a bit more useful.
The handshake code also returns the remote reason.
People stil get confused about the messages. This commit changes
the levels so that the only thing printed at the default level (info)
is a successful mapping.
