#20499: Relay/Bridge won't update the microdesc consensus while running --------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: rubiate | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.9.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.9.4-alpha Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: regression | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+------------------------------------
Comment (by arma): This looks very similar to my "mystery 1" in #19969 -- so I am going to bring that discussion over here so we can keep the bugs separate. For me it happened on "Tor 0.2.9.3-alpha-dev (git-bfaded9143d127cb)" (which is alas not in a released version of Tor, because #20269 isn't merged yet, but suffice to say it's partway between 0.2.9.3 and 0.2.9.4). And this was just a client, not a bridge or relay. teor asked in #19969 what my "consensus download_status_t has for all its fields, particularly the attempt and failure counts." Here is what gdb says: {{{ (gdb) print consensus_dl_status $8 = {{next_attempt_at = 0, n_download_failures = 0 '\000', n_download_attempts = 0 '\000', schedule = DL_SCHED_CONSENSUS, want_authority = DL_WANT_ANY_DIRSERVER, increment_on = DL_SCHED_INCREMENT_FAILURE, backoff = DL_SCHED_RANDOM_EXPONENTIAL, last_backoff_position = 0 '\000', last_delay_used = 0}, {next_attempt_at = 1477296555, n_download_failures = 17 '\021', n_download_attempts = 17 '\021', schedule = DL_SCHED_CONSENSUS, want_authority = DL_WANT_ANY_DIRSERVER, increment_on = DL_SCHED_INCREMENT_FAILURE, backoff = DL_SCHED_RANDOM_EXPONENTIAL, last_backoff_position = 17 '\021', last_delay_used = 387}} }}} The first half of that makes sense, since my Tor doesn't touch the non- microdesc consensus stuff. But for the second half... it looks like my next_attempt_at is ~6 days ago. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20499#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
