This adapts our fee estimations requests to the Bitcoin backend to the
new semantic, and batch the requests.
This makes our request for fees much simpler, and leaves some more
flexibility for a plugin to do something smart (it could still lie before
but now it's explicit, at least.) as we don't explicitly request
estimation for a specific mode and a target.
Changelog-Changed: We now batch the requests for fee estimation to our Bitcoin backend.
Changelog-Changed: We now get more fine-grained fee estimation from our Bitcoin backend.
We kept track of an URGENT, a NORMAL, and a SLOW feerate. They were used
for opening (NORMAL), mutual (NORMAL), UNILATERAL (URGENT) transactions
as well as minimum and maximum estimations, and onchain resolution.
We now keep track of more fine-grained feerates:
- `opening` used for funding and also misc transactions
- `mutual_close` used for the mutual close transaction
- `unilateral_close` used for unilateral close (commitment transactions)
- `delayed_to_us` used for resolving our output from our unilateral close
- `htlc_resolution` used for resolving onchain HTLCs
- `penalty` used for resolving revoked transactions
We don't modify our requests to our Bitcoin backend, as the next commit
will batch them !
Changelog-deprecated: The "urgent", "slow", and "normal" field of the `feerates` command are now deprecated.
Changelog-added: The fields "opening", "mutual_close", "unilateral_close", "delayed_to_us", "htlc_resolution" and "penalty" have been added to the `feerates` command.
This adds `getchaininfo` and `getrawblockbyheight` handling lightningd-side,
and use them in setup_topology().
We then remove legacy bitcoind_getblockcount() (we already get the count in
`getchaininfo`), bitcoind_getblockchaininfo() (it was only used in setup_topology()),
and wait_for_bitcoind() (this was specific to bitcoin-core and we assume our Bitcoin
backend to be functional if the plugin responds to `init`).
If the same memory gets reallocated, our "has the tip changed?" test
gets a false negative. This happened for me about one time in 10,
causing tests/test_misc.py::test_funding_reorg_remote_lags to fail.

This leads to all sorts of problems; in particular it's incredibly
slow (days, weeks!) if bitcoind is a long way back. This also changes
the behaviour of a rescan argument referring to a future block: we will
also refuse to start in that case, which I think is the correct behavior.
We already ignore bitcoind if it goes backwards while we're running.
Also cover a false positive memleak.
Changelog-Fixed: If bitcoind goes backwards (e.g. reindex) refuse to start (unless forced with --rescan).

We have split the iteration over the txs and the output in different
functions, so pushing the annotation down, while keeping the transaction
addition atop. This showcases the need to not have the txid reference the
transactions.id in the DB: we annotate in a function that doesn't have the tx
index context, but only add the TX after we have finished extracting.
Currently the only source for amount_asset is the value getter on a tx output,
and we don't hand it too far around (mainly ignoring it if it isn't the
chain's main currency). Eventually we could bubble them up to the wallet, use
them to select outputs or actually support assets in the channels.
Since we don't hand them around too widely I thought it was ok for them to be
pass-by-value rather than having to allocate them and pass them around by
reference. They're just 41 bytes currently so the overhead should be ok.

I was working on rewriting our (somewhat chaotic) tx watching code
for 0.7.2, when I found this bug: we don't always notice the funding
tx in corner cases where more than one block is detected at
once.
This is just the one commit needed to fix the problem: it has some
unnecessary changes, but I'd prefer not to diverge too far from my
cleanup-txwatch branch.

"result" should always be an object (so that we can add new fields),
so make that implicit in json_stream_success.
This makes our primitives well-formed: we previously used NULL as our
fieldname when calling the first json_object_start, which is a hack
since we're actually in an object and the fieldname is 'result' (which
was already written by json_object_start).
There were only two cases which didn't do this:
1. dev-memdump returned an array. No API guarantees on this.
2. shutdown returned a string.
I temporarily made shutdown return an empty object, which shouldn't
break anything, but I want to fix that later anyway.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
A new string field is added to the command structure and is specified at the creation of each native command, and in the JSON created by 'json_add_help_command()'.
- result fundchannel command now depends on successful or failed broadcast of the funding tx
- failure returns error code FUNDING_BROADCAST_FAIL
- don't fail the channel when broadcast failed, but keep in CHANNELD_AWAITING_LOCKIN
- after fixing the initial broadcast failure, the user could manually rebroadcast the tx and
keep the channel
openingd/opening_funder_finished:
- broadcast_tx callback function now handles both success and failure
jsonrpc: added error code FUNDING_BROADCAST_FAIL
manpage: added error code returned by fundchannel command
This makes the user more aware of broadcast failure, so it hopefully doesn't
try to broadcast new tx's that depend on its change_outputs. Some users have reported (see
issue #2171) a whole sequence of fundings failing, because each funding was using the change
output of the previous one, which would not confirm.
Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

This causes a compiler warning if we don't do something with the
result (hopefully return immediately!).
We use was_pending() to ignore the result in the case where we
complete a command in a callback (thus really do want to ignore
the result).
This actually fixes one bug: we didn't return after command_fail
in json_getroute with a bad seed value.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Usually, this means they return 'command_param_failed()' if param()
fails, and changing 'command_success(); return;' to 'return
command_success()'.
Occasionally, it's more complex: there's a command_its_complicated()
for the case where we can't exactly determine what the status is,
but it should be considered a last resort.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Handers of a specific form are both designed to be used as callbacks
for param(), and also dispose of the command if something goes wrong.
Make them return the 'struct command_result *' from command_failed(),
or NULL.
Renaming them just makes sense: json_tok_XXX is used for non-command-freeing
parsers too.

json_escaped.[ch], param.[ch] and jsonrpc_errors.h move from lightningd/
to common/. Tests moved too.
We add a new 'common/json_tok.[ch]' for the common parameter parsing
routines which a plugin might want, taking them out of
lightningd/json.c (which now only contains the lightningd-specific
ones).
The rest is mainly fixing up includes.

This (will) avoid the plugin having to walk back from the params object
as it currently does.
No code changes; I removed UNUSED and UNNEEDED labels from the other
parameters though (as *every* json_rpc callback needs to call param()
these days, they're *always* used).
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Such an API is required for when we stream it directly. Almost all our
handlers fit this pattern already, or nearly do.
We remove new_json_result() in favor of explicit json_stream_success()
and json_stream_fail(), but still allowing command_fail() if you just
want a simple all-in-one fail wrapper.

We do this a lot, and had boutique helpers in various places. So add
a more generic one; for convenience it returns a pointer to the new

I prefer the name tal_arr_expand to tal_arr_append, since it's up to

We use feerate in several places, and each one really should react
differently when it's not available (such as when bitcoind is still
catching up):
1. For general fee-enforcement, we use the broadest possible limits.
2. For closingd, we use it as our opening negotiation point: just use half
the last tx feerate.
3. For onchaind, we can use the last tx feerate as a guide for our own txs;
it might be too high, but at least we know it was sufficient to be mined.
4. For withdraw and fund_channel, we can simply refuse.

structeq() is too dangerous: if a structure has padding, it can fail
silently.
The new ccan/structeq instead provides a macro to define foo_eq(),
which does the right thing in case of padding (which none of our
structures currently have anyway).
Upgrade ccan, and use it everywhere. Except run-peer-wire.c, which
is only testing code and can use raw memcmp(): valgrind will tell us
if padding exists.

we didn't define it any more!

`getinfo` has been providing the blockheight for a good while and doesn't
require the `DEVELOPER=1` flag during compilation, so it should be the preferred
method to retrieve the blockchain height.
Implements an EWMA for the fee estimation. Achieves 90% influence of the newer
fee after 5 minutes, and adjusts to the polling rate that is configured.
Until now, `command_fail()` reported an error code of -1 for all uses.
This PR adds an `int code` parameter to `command_fail()`, requiring the
caller to explicitly include the error code.
This is part of #1464.
The majority of the calls are used during parameter validation and
their error code is now JSONRPC2_INVALID_PARAMS.
The rest of the calls report an error code of LIGHTNINGD, which I defined to
-1 in `jsonrpc_errors.h`. The intention here is that as we improve our error
reporting, all occurenaces of LIGHTNINGD will go away and we can eventually
remove it.
I also converted calls to `command_fail_detailed()` that took a `NULL` `data`
parameter to use the new `command_fail()`.
The only difference from an end user perspecive is that bad input errors that
used to be -1 will now be -32602 (JSONRPC2_INVALID_PARAMS).
Make --override-fee-rates a dev option. We use default-fee-rate in
its place, which (since bitcoind won't give fee estimates in regtest
mode for short chains) gives an effective feerate of 15000/7500/3750.
