Hidden service clients didn't use a cached service descriptor that
was older than 15 minutes, but wouldn't fetch a new one either. Now,
use a cached descriptor no matter how old it is and only fetch a new
one when all introduction points fail. Fix for bug 997. Patch from
Marcus Griep.
Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS
cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very
large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since
gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%.
Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside
the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a
little costlier than I'm happy with.
This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.
Provide a useful warning when launch_circuit tries to make us use a
node we don't want to use. Just give an info message when this is a
normal and okay situation. Fix for logging issues in bug 984.
This patch adds a function to determine whether we're in the main
thread, and changes control_event_logmsg() to return immediately if
we're in a subthread. This is necessary because otherwise we will
call connection_write_to_buf, which modifies non-locked data
structures.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.x; fix for at least one of the things currently
called "bug 977".
Tas (thanks!) noticed that when *ListenAddress is set, Tor would
still warn on startup when *Port is low and hibernation is active.
The patch parses all the *ListenAddress lines, and checks the
ports. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc
With the last fix of task 932 (5f03d6c), client requests are only added to
the history when they happen after the start of the current history. This
conflicts with the unit tests that insert current requests first (defining
the start of the client request history) followed by requests in the past.
The fix is to insert requests in chronological order in the unit tests.
- Write geoip stats to disk every 24 hours, not every hour.
- Remove configuration options and define reasonable defaults.
- Clear history of client requests every 24 hours (which wasn't done at
all before).
Specifically if you send SIGUSR1, it will add two lines to the log file:
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache has 3364 entries.
May 22 07:41:59.576 [notice] Our DNS cache size is approximately 1022656
bytes.
[tweaked a bit by nickm]
Really, our idiocy was that we were calling event_set() on the same
event more than once, which sometimes led to us calling event_set() on
an event that was already inserted, thus making it look uninserted.
With this patch, we just initialize the timeout events when we create
the requests and nameservers, and we don't need to worry about
double-add and double-del cases at all.
If we ever add an event, then set it, then add it again, there will be
now two pointers to the event in the event base. If we delete one and
free it, the first pointer will still be there, and possibly cause a
crash later.
This patch adds detection for this case to the code paths in
eventdns.c, and works around it. If the warning message ever
displays, then a cleverer fix is in order.
{I am not too confident that this *is* the fix, since bug 957 is very
tricky. If it is, it is a bugfix on 0.2.0.}
