I have no idea whether b0rken clients will DoS the network if the v2
authorities all turn this on or not. It's experimental. See #6783 for
a description of how to test it more or less safely, and please be
careful!
Now that circid_t is 4 bytes long, the default integer promotions will
leave it alone when sizeof(int) == 4, which will leave us formatting an
unsigned as an int. That's technically undefined behavior.
Fixes bug 8447 on bfffc1f0fc. Bug not
in any released Tor.
This patch moves the measured_bw field and the has_measured_bw field
into vote_routerstatus_t, since only votes have 'Measured=XX' set on
their weight line.
I also added a new bw_is_unmeasured flag to routerstatus_t to
represent the Unmeasured=1 flag on a w line. Previously, I was using
has_measured_bw for this, which was quite incorrect: has_measured_bw
means that the measured_bw field is set, and it's probably a mistake
to have it serve double duty as meaning that 'baandwidth' represents a
measured value.
While making this change,I also found a harmless but stupid bug in
dirserv_read_measured_bandwidths: It assumes that it's getting a
smartlist of routerstatus_t, when really it's getting a smartlist of
vote_routerstatus_t. C's struct layout rules mean that we could never
actually get an error because of that, but it's still quite incorrect.
I fixed that, and in the process needed to add two more sorting and
searching helpers.
Finally, I made the Unmeasured=1 flag get parsed. We don't use it for
anything yet, but someday we might.
This isn't complete yet -- the new 2286 unit test doesn't build.
Instead of capping whenever a router has fewer than 3 measurements,
we cap whenever a router has fewer than 3 measurements *AND* there
are at least 3 authorities publishing measured bandwidths.
We also generate bandwidth lines with a new "Unmeasured=1" flag,
meaning that we didn't have enough observations for a node to use
measured bandwidth values in the authority's input, whether we capped
it or not.
