Merge #20187: Addrman: test-before-evict bugfix and improvements for block-relay-only peers
16d9bfc417 Avoid test-before-evict evictions of current peers (Suhas Daftuar)
e8b215a086 Refactor test for existing peer connection into own function (Suhas Daftuar)
4fe338ab3e Call CAddrMan::Good() on block-relay-only peer addresses (Suhas Daftuar)
daf5553126 Avoid calling CAddrMan::Connected() on block-relay-only peer addresses (Suhas Daftuar)

Pull request description:

  This PR does two things:

  * Block-relay-only interaction with addrman.
    * Calling `CAddrMan::Connected()` on an address that was a block-relay-only peer causes the time we report in `addr` messages containing that peer to be updated; particularly now that we use anchor connections with a our block-relay-only peers, this risks leaking information about those peers.  So, stop this.
    * Avoiding calling `CAddrMan::Good()` on block-relay-only peer addresses causes the addrman logic around maintaining the new and tried table to be less good, and in particular makes it so that block-relay-only peer addresses are more likely to be evicted from the addrman (for no good reason I can think of).  So, mark those addresses as good when we connect.

  * Fix test-before-evict bug. There's a bug where if we get a collision in the tried table with an existing address that is one of our current peers, and the connection is long-lived enough, then `SelectTriedCollisions()` might return that existing peer address to us as a test-before-evict connection candidate. However, our logic for new outbound connections would later prevent us from actually making a connection; the result would be that when we get a collision with a long-lived current peer, that peer's address is likely to get evicted from the tried table.  Fix this by checking to see if a test-before-evict candidate is a peer we're currently connected to, and if so, mark it as `Good()`.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
