This patch makes sure that for every* config type we have, the defaults
you get from a Builder match those you get from Serde, and that both
match the value that you get from arti_defaults.toml. Later down the
line I'll be adding some tests to keep these in sync.
* StorageConfig still has no defaults of its own, since we aren't so
sure we want other applications to use Arti's directories by default.
Since these shell-variables are hardwired to use org.torproject.Arti as
the program name, it isn't appropriate to call them "app-specific".
If we someday reinstate APP_FOO, it should be based on a user-provided
application name.
In order to handle explicitly specified path buffers directly, we now
let CfgPath be either a string (that gets expanded) or a PathBuf
(that doesn't).
This simplifies TorClientConfig::with_directories()
Now every section that the two configuration objects share has the
same type and name. This should help us in documenting our configuration
in a way that doesn't confuse people.
There is still lots of API work to go.
To do this at all neatly, I had to split out `tor-config` from
`arti-config` again, and putting the lower level stuff (paths,
builder errors) into tor-config. I also changed our use of
derive_builder to always use a common error type, to avoid
error type proliferation.
The `bad_extend_*` failures were caused by bad test code in
`bad_extend_test_impl` that used `futures::join!`; this meant that the
reactor could receive the `Extended2` cell before it actually got the
`ExtendNtor` request, which caused it to get (quite rightly) confused
and close the circuit. Spawning a background thread which has a short
delay before sending the `Extended2` cell seems to have alleviated this
problem.
`new_circ_create_failure` is similar; I think the reactor was getting
dropped before it had a chance to flush out its `CreateFast` cell
properly, because it had already gotten the result back (since the test
code sends it indiscriminately). This was "fixed" in much the same
manner as the other test: making it wait a bit before sending the result
cell back.
There seem to be other tests that use `futures::join!` (like
`begindir`?), and use similarly erroneous patterns; I haven't gotten any
to fail reliably enough to be able to debug them, though.
This field isn't used in modern Tor, and has never been used in
Arti. If tor!489 is merged, then it will no longer contain a useful
value in future consensuses. We shouldn't store it, or else
somebody else will get the smart idea of using it for something.
This commit breaks API compatibility for tor-netdoc with the
`build_docs` feature enabled. I haven't entered that into the
semver_status.md file, since we already have a pending tor-netdoc
API breaker in !129.
Nothing in arti currently uses this document type. Eventually it
will be useful for relays and for bridge clients.
I've left the "SHA1 digest of a router descriptor" type available
unconditinoally, however, since it does get used in a few places.
Part of #125.
We don't currently need a couple of the key manipulation features
that we have, since we aren't yet doing relays or onion service
clients.

testing was done on a different target than building, so everything was
compiled twice (actually, it's the same target, but rust doesn't realize
that)
makes build+test about 20% faster
Previously, the reactor would use an `UnboundedSender` to send things to
the `RawCellStream`, in order that the reactor wouldn't block if you
failed to read from the latter. This is bad, though, since it means
people can just run us out of memory by sending lots of things.
To fix this, we make the new `StreamReader` type (which does the reading
parts from `RawCellStream`) keep track of the stream's receive window
and issue SENDMEs once *it* has consumed enough data to require it, thus
meaning that we shouldn't get sent enough data to fill the channel
between reactor and `StreamReader` (and, if we do, that's someone trying
to flood us, and we abort the circuit).
As hinted to above, the `RawCellStream` was removed and its reading
functionalities replaced by `StreamReader`; its writing functionalities
are handled by `StreamTarget` anyway, so we just give out one of those
for the write end. This now means we don't need any mutexes!
note: this commit introduces a known issue, arti#230
Rather like e8e9699c3c ("Get rid of
tor-proto's ChannelImpl, and use the reactor more instead"), this
admittedly rather large commit refactors the way circuits in `tor-proto`
work, centralising all of the logic in one large nonblocking reactor
which other things send messages into and out of, instead of having a
bunch of `-Impl` types that are protected by mutexes.
Congestion control becomes a lot simpler with this refactor, since the
reactor can manage both stream- and circuit-level congestion control
unilaterally without having to share this information with consumers,
meaning we can get rid of some locks.
The way streams work also changes, in order to facilitate better
handling of backpressure / fairness between streams: each stream now has
a set of channels to send and receive messages over, instead of sending
relay cells directly onto the channel (now, the reactor pulls messages
off each stream in each map, and tries to avoid doing so if it won't be
able to forward them yet).
Additionally, a lot of "close this circuit / stream" messages aren't
required any more, since that state is simply indicated by one end of a
channel going away. This should make cleanup a lot less brittle.
Getting all of this to work involved writing a fair deal of intricate
nonblocking code in Reactor::run_once that tries very hard to be mindful
of making backpressure work correctly (and congestion control); the old
code could get away with having tasks .await on things, but the new
reactor can't really do this (as it'd lock the reactor up), so has to do
everything in a nonblocking manner.
