connectd: don't start connecting in parallel in peer_conn_closed.
The crash below from @zerofeerouting left me confused. The invalid value in fmt_wireaddr_internal is a telltale sign of use-after-free. This backtrace shows us destroying the conn *twice*: what's happening? Well, tal carefully protects against destroying twice: it's not that unusual to free something in a destructor which has already been freed. So this indicates that there are *two* io_conn hanging off one struct connecting, which isn't supposed to happen! We deliberately call try_connect_one_addr() initially, then inside the io_conn destructor. But due to races in connectd vs lightningd connection state, we added a fix which allows a connect command to sit around while the peer is cleaning up (6cc9f37) and get fired off when it's done. But what if, in the chaos, we are already connecting again? Now we'll end up with *two* connections. Fortunately, we have a `conn` pointer inside struct connecting, which (with a bit of additional care) we can ensure is only non-NULL while we're actually trying to connect. This lets us check that before firing off a new connection attempt in peer_conn_closed. ``` lightning_connectd: FATAL SIGNAL 6 (version v0.11.2rc2-2-g8f7e939) 0x5614a4915ae8 send_backtrace common/daemon.c:33 0x5614a4915b72 crashdump common/daemon.c:46 0x7ffa14fcd72f ??? ???:0 0x7ffa14dc87bb ??? ???:0 0x7ffa14db3534 ??? ???:0 0x5614a491fc71 fmt_wireaddr_internal common/wireaddr.c:255 0x5614a491fc7a fmt_wireaddr_internal_ common/wireaddr.c:257 0x5614a491ea6b type_to_string_ common/type_to_string.c:32 0x5614a490beaa destroy_io_conn connectd/connectd.c:754 0x5614a494a2f1 destroy_conn ccan/ccan/io/poll.c:246 0x5614a494a313 destroy_conn_close_fd ccan/ccan/io/poll.c:252 0x5614a4953804 notify ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:240 0x5614a49538d6 del_tree ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:402 0x5614a4953928 del_tree ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:412 0x5614a4953e07 tal_free ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:486 0x5614a4908b7a try_connect_one_addr connectd/connectd.c:870 0x5614a490bef1 destroy_io_conn connectd/connectd.c:759 0x5614a494a2f1 destroy_conn ccan/ccan/io/poll.c:246 0x5614a494a313 destroy_conn_close_fd ccan/ccan/io/poll.c:252 0x5614a4953804 notify ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:240 0x5614a49538d6 del_tree ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:402 0x5614a4953e07 tal_free ccan/ccan/tal/tal.c:486 0x5614a4948f08 io_close ccan/ccan/io/io.c:450 0x5614a4948f59 do_plan ccan/ccan/io/io.c:401 0x5614a4948fe1 io_ready ccan/ccan/io/io.c:417 0x5614a494a8e6 io_loop ccan/ccan/io/poll.c:453 0x5614a490c12f main connectd/connectd.c:2164 0x7ffa14db509a ??? ???:0 0x5614a4904e99 ??? ???:0 0xffffffffffffffff ??? ???:0 ``` Fixes: #5339 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <[email protected]>
