Tests if addresses are online or offline by briefly connecting to them. These short lived connections are referred to as feeler connections. Feeler connections are designed to increase the number of fresh online addresses in tried by selecting and connecting to addresses in new. One feeler connection is attempted on average once every two minutes.

The partition checker was producing huge number of false-positives
and was disabled in 0.12.1 on the understanding it would either be
fixed in 0.13 or removed entirely from master if not.
*** Dash specific note: ***
This check was disabled in Dash already.
* Rework addnode behaviour
* Use CNode::addeName to track whether a connection to a name is already open
* A new connection to a previously-connected by-name addednode is only opened when
the previous one closes (even if the name starts resolving to something else)
* At most one connection is opened per addednode (even if the name resolves to multiple)
* Unify the code between ThreadOpenAddedNodeConnections and getaddednodeinfo
* Information about open connections is always returned, and the dns argument becomes a dummy
* An IP address and inbound/outbound is only reported for the (at most 1) open connection
* Prevent duplicate connections where one is by name and another by ip
* Randomize name lookup result in ConnectSocketByName
* fix vulnerability with mapMasternodeOrphanObjects
The vulnerability is that a malicious node can send a lot of NetMsgType::MNGOVERNANCEOBJECT messages which refer to many arbitrary MN's. In this case, mapMasternodeOrphanObjects will grow unrestrictedly.
* MN collateral moved to governance-object.cpp; ban score applied to misbehaving nodes
* recursive locks removed
* check for the mn collateral code segregated to a separate function
* CheckCollateral implementation moved to cpp
This reverts commit 1f828f45ec.
The commit being reverted changed FindNode(const CService& addr)
to make no difference between nodes with the same IP address,
but different ports, but only for regtest network.
As functional tests run several nodes on different ports or the same
IP address (127.0.0.1), this eventually started breaking functional tests.
The only use for regtest network I know is for functional tests,
so it's time to revert that commit.
* fix issues with mapSeenGovernanceObjects
Removed seen-governance-objects optimization except for deleted objects. Otherwise some nodes can permanently lost proposals if they received them too early.
Beside of that there is a vulnerability with seen-governance-objects mechanism if malicious node send us a lot of invalid governance objects.
* mapSeenGovernanceObjects renamed to mapErasedGovernanceObjects
* current fixes
* use int64_t for expiration timestamp
* Add recently accepted blocks and txn to AttemptToEvictConnection.
This protects any not-already-protected peers who were the most
recent four to relay transactions and most recent four to send
blocks to us.
* Allow disconnecting a netgroup with only one member in eviction.
With the latest additions there are enough protective measures that
we can take the training wheels off.
* net: don't import std namespace
This file is about to be broken up into chunks and moved around. Drop the
namespace now rather than requiring other files to use it.
* net: remove unused set
* net: use the exposed GetNodeSignals() rather than g_signals directly
* net: make Ban/Unban/ClearBan functionality consistent
- Ban/Unban/ClearBan call uiInterface.BannedListChanged() as necessary
- Ban/Unban/ClearBan sync to disk if the operation is user-invoked
- Mark node for disconnection automatically when banning
- Lock cs_vNodes while setting disconnected
- Don't spin in a tight loop while setting disconnected
* net: No need to export DumpBanlist
DumpBanList currently does this:
- with lock: take a copy of the banmap
- perform I/O (write out the banmap)
- with lock: mark the banmap non-dirty
If a new ban is added during the I/O operation, it may never be persisted to
disk.
Reorder operations so that the data to be persisted cannot be older than the
time at which the banmap was marked non-dirty.
* Make ProcessNewBlock dbp const and update comment
* Switch reindexing to AcceptBlock in-loop and ActivateBestChain afterwards
* Optimize ActivateBestChain for long chains
* Add -reindex-chainstate that does not rebuild block index
* Report reindexing progress in GUI
* Only store and connect to NODE_NETWORK nodes
* Keep addrman's nService bits consistent with outbound observations
* Verify that outbound connections have expected services
* Don't require services in -addnode
* Introduce enum ServiceFlags for service flags
* Introduce REQUIRED_SERVICES constant
* CAddrDB modified so that when de-serialization code throws an exception Addrman is reset to a clean state
* CAddrDB modified to make unit tests possible
* Regression test created to ensure bug is fixed
* StartNode modifed to clear adrman if CAddrDB::Read returns an error code.
* process governance objects in CheckMasternodeOrphanObjects as usual
* code refactoring: SetRateChecksHelper class added
* fixed race condition issues with propagation of governance objects
* change GetCollateralConfirmations signature
* code refactoring
* reduced minimum number of collateral confirmations required for relaying proposals
* bug fixes and improvements
* banlist: update set dirty to be more fine grained
- move the SetBannedSetDirty(false) call from DumpData() into DumpBanlist()
- ensure we only set false, if the write succeeded
* banlist: better handling of banlist in StartNode()
- only start working on/with banlist data, if reading in the banlist from
disk didn't fail
- as CNode::setBannedIsDirty is false (default) when reading fails, we
don't need to explicitly set it to false to prevent writing
banlist.dat in that case either
* banlist: add more banlist infos to log / add GUI signal
- to match the peers.dat handling also supply a debug.log entry for how
many entries were loaded from banlist.dat and how long it took
- add a GUI init message for loading the banlist (same as with peers.dat)
- move the same message for peers.dat upwards in the code, to be able to
reuse the timing variable nStart and also just log, if our read from
peers.dat didn't fail
* banlist (bugfix): allow CNode::SweepBanned() to run on interval
- allows CNode::SweepBanned() to run, even if !CNode::BannedSetIsDirty(),
because if nBanUntil is over we want the ban to be disabled for these
nodes
* Add hassentinelping to governanceinfo
* sentinelping rpc call
* additional fields in mnp
* sentinel ping implementation
* change sentinel state to byte in mnp
* use adjusted time in sentinel ping
* update nTimeLastWatchdogVote if sentinel ping is actual
* remove unused fields
* bump protocol to 70207
* Fix small issues
- fix the error message text in CActivbeMasternodeUpdateSentinelPing;
- add empty string before public: in CActiveMasternode class declaration;
- rename field sentinelPing in CMasternodePing to sentinelIsActual and change $
- decrease sentinelVersion field size to uint16_t;
* revert proto bump for MIN_... consts
* revert changes in getgovernanceinfo
* Update mn vote time for remote masternodes
- call UpdateWatchdogVoteTime in CMasternodeMan::ProcessMessage
- deserialize masternodeping from the previous version archive without exception
- add ability to set time in UpdateWatchdogVoteTime
- set nTimeLastWatchdogVote to masternode ping sigTime if sentinel is actual
- bump CMasternodeMan::SERIALIZATION_VERSION_STRING
* remove mn state checks and add correct rpc param convertion
* fix var names
* Helper class for version in string and integer form
* String version in sentinel ping
Version format is "x.x.x"
* test for bacward compatibility in serialization
* Change VersionInfo class to convert functions
* Build against system UniValue when available
* doc: Add UniValue to build instructions
* Bugfix: The var is LIBUNIVALUE,not LIBBITCOIN_UNIVALUE
* Change default configure option --with-system-univalue to "no"
* Bugfix: Always include univalue in DIST_SUBDIRS
* LDADD dependency order shuffling
* build-unix: Update UniValue build conditions
ProcessNewBlock would return failure early if CheckBlock failed, before
calling AcceptBlock. AcceptBlock also calls CheckBlock, and upon failure
would update mapBlockIndex to indicate that a block was failed. By returning
early in ProcessNewBlock, we were not marking blocks that fail a check in
CheckBlock as permanently failed, and thus would continue to re-request and
reprocess them.
Adds several unittests for CAddrMan and CAddrInfo.
Increases the accuracy of addrman tests.
Removes non-determinism in tests by overriding the random number generator.
Extracts testing code from addrman class to test class.
* log bytes recv/sent per command
* net: Account for `sendheaders` `verack` messages
Looks like these were forgotten in #6589.
* Backport remaining part of Bitcoin PR bitcoin/bitcoin#7181.
Most of this PR is already merged, but a small part remaining
that makes per-command byte counts in CNode working.

Fixes: #1345
The actual problem is that GetDataDir has the side effect of creating the
datadir, even if it is not known yet where it really is. This is only
known after reading the config file or when explicitly specified in the
cmd line.
Thus, if GetDataDir gets called before the datadir value from the config
is read, it tries to create it at the default location.
