This will let gossipd be more intelligent about gossiping before we're
synced, and also it might know how far behind we are.

It's generally clearer to have simple hardcoded numbers with an
#if DEVELOPER around it, than apparent variables which aren't, really.
Interestingly, our pruning test was always kinda broken: we have to pass
two cycles, since l2 will refresh the channel once to avoid pruning.
Do the more obvious thing, and cut the network in half and check that
l1 and l3 time out.

Make update_local_channel use a timer if it's too soon to make another
update.
1. Implement cupdate_different() which compares two updates.
2. make update_local_channel() take a single arg for timer usage.
3. Set timestamp of non-disable update back 5 minutes, so we can
always generate a disable update if we need to.
4. Make update_local_channel() itself do the "unchanged update" suppression.
gossipd: clean up local channel updates.
5. Keep pointer to the current timer so we override any old updates with
a new one, to avoid a race.

Write helpers to split it into non-timestamp, non-signature parts,
and simply compare those. We extract a helper to do channel_update, too.
This is more generic than our previous approach, and simpler.

We've been slack, but it's going to be important for testing
ratelimiting. And it currently has a minor memory leak.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Rather than reaching into data structures, let them register their own
callbacks. This avoids us having to expose "memleak_remove_xxx"
functions, and call them manually.
Under the hood, this is done by having a specially-named tal child of
the thing we want to assist, containing the callback.

Fortunately, again, only happens with EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES.
If the query causes us not to actually send anything, we won't
get called again. This can validly happen if they only asked for
the node_announcements, for example.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Our "are we finished?" logic was wrong: it tested if there are no more
node_announcements, but it's possible that there were no node_announcements
for either end of the channel whose information we sent.
This is actually quite unusual on the real network: looking at mainnet
statis from last May, 4301 of 4337 nodes have node_announcements.
However, with query flags it's much more likely, since they might not
ask for node announcements at all.

Make the TLV element a simple array. This is a bit neater, in fact, and

In fact, we always generate them, we only send them if asked. And we set
the flags to 0 if not --enable-experimental-features, so we never send in
that case.
Generating checksums involves pulling the channel_update from the
gossip_store, which is suboptimal: there's a FIXME to store the
checksum in memory.

We're about to use the for gossip extended info too, which *don't* put
the encoding byte at the beginning of the data stream. So this removes
some "scids" from function names and separates out the "prepend a byte"
case from the "external encoding_type" case.

These indicate what fields we are to return. If there's now TLV, or we
haven't got --enable-experimental-features, it's set to all 1s so behaviour

updates the bolt version to 6639cef095a2ecc7b8f0c48c6e7f2f906fbfbc58.
this requires us to use the new bolt parser at generate-bolt.py
and updates to all of the type specifications (ie. from u8 -> byte)
We hit the timestamp assert on #2750; it shouldn't happen, but crashing

We seek a certain number of peers at each level of gossip; 3 "flood"
if we're missing gossip, 2 at 24 hours past to catch recent gossip, and
8 with current gossip. The rest are given a filter which causes them
not to gossip to us at all.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
The first sign that we're missing gossip is that we get a channel_update
for an unknown channel. The peer might be wrong (or lying), but if it turns
out to be a real channel, we were definitely missing something.
This patch does two things: queries when we get an unknown channel_update,
and then notes that a channel_announcement was from such an update when
it's finally processed.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
In particular, we'll need to know the short_channel_id if a
channel_update is unknown (implies we're missing a channel), and whether
processing a pending channel_announcement was successful (implies that
the channel was real).

Up until now we only generated these in dev mode for testing. Hoist
into common code, turn counter into a flag (we're only allowed one!)

This means there's now a semantic difference between the default `fromid`
and setting `fromid` explicitly to our own node_id. In the default case,
it means we don't charge ourselves fees on the route.
This means we can spend the full channel balance.
We still want to consider the pricing of local channels, however:
there's a *reason* to discount one over another, and that is to bias
things. So we add the first-hop fee to the *risk* value instead.

This clarifies things a fair bit: we simply add and remove from the

This means we intercept the peer's gossip_timestamp_filter request
in the per-peer subdaemon itself. The rest of the semantics are fairly
simple however.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Keeping the uintmap ordering all the broadcastable messages is expensive:
130MB for the million-channels project. But now we delete obsolete entries
from the store, we can have the per-peer daemons simply read that sequentially
and stream the gossip itself.
This is the most primitive version, where all gossip is streamed;
successive patches will bring back proper handling of timestamp filtering
and initial_routing_sync.
We add a gossip_state field to track what's happening with our gossip
streaming: it's initialized in gossipd, and currently always set, but
once we handle timestamps the per-peer daemon may do it when the first
filter is sent.

They already send *us* gossip messages, so they have to be distinct anyway.
Why make us both do extra work?
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
We use the high bit of the length field: this way we can still check
that the checksums are valid on deleted fields.
Once this is done, serially reading the gossip_store file will result
in a complete, ordered, minimal gossip broadcast. Also, the horrible
corner case where we might try to delete things from the store during
load time is completely gone: we only load non-deleted things.

Each destructor2 costs 40 bytes, and struct chan is only 120 bytes. So

This has two effects: most importantly, it avoids the problem where
lightningd creates a 800MB JSON blob in response to listchannels,
which causes OOM on the Raspberry Pi (our previous max allocation was
832MB). This is because lightning-cli can start draining the JSON
while we're filling the buffer, so we end up with a max allocation of
68MB.
But despite being less efficient (multiple queries to gossipd), it
actually speeds things up due to the parallelism:
