commit 39d0f69dfee86c4f8703094990d3169fb20614f3 Author: David Goulet dgoulet@torproject.org Date: Tue Feb 23 09:37:17 2021 -0500
relay: Avoid a directory early fetch
The directory_fetches_from_authorities() is used to know if a client or relay should fetch data from an authority early in the boot process.
We had a condition in that function that made a relay trigger that fetch if it didn't know its address (so we can learn it). However, when this is called, the address discovery has not been done yet so it would always return true for a relay.
Furthermore, it would always trigger a log notice that the IPv4 couldn't be found which was inevitable because the address discovery process has not been done yet (done when building our first descriptor).
It is also important to point out that starting in 0.4.5.1-alpha, asking an authority for an address is done during address discovery time using a one-hop circuit thus independent from the relay deciding to fetch or not documents from an authority.
Small fix also is to reverse the "IPv(4|6)Only" flag in the notice so that if we can't find IPv6 it would output to use IPv4Only.
Fixes #40300
