commit 69f93f806c4531e9498257578a10935e7859390f Author: George Kadianakis <desnacked@riseup.net> Date: Mon Nov 20 18:11:59 2017 +0200 Check number of usable guards when applying md restrictions. We used to check whether we have enough filtered guards (guard set when torrc is applied) but that's not good enough, since that might be bad in some cases where many guards are not reachable (might cause overblocking and hence reacahbility issues). We now check if we have enough reachable filtered guards before applying md restrictions which should prevent overblocking. --- src/or/entrynodes.c | 30 ++++++++++++++---------------- src/or/entrynodes.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/or/entrynodes.c b/src/or/entrynodes.c index dc02557b5..d63d9291b 100644 --- a/src/or/entrynodes.c +++ b/src/or/entrynodes.c @@ -966,7 +966,7 @@ entry_guard_learned_bridge_identity(const tor_addr_port_t *addrport, * violate it. */ STATIC int -num_reachable_filtered_guards(guard_selection_t *gs, +num_reachable_filtered_guards(const guard_selection_t *gs, const entry_guard_restriction_t *rst) { int n_reachable_filtered_guards = 0; @@ -1472,30 +1472,28 @@ guard_create_exit_restriction(const uint8_t *exit_id) return rst; } -/** If we have fewer than this many possible guards, don't set - * MD-availability-based restrictions: we might blacklist all of - * them. */ +/** If we have fewer than this many possible usable guards, don't set + * MD-availability-based restrictions: we might blacklist all of them. */ #define MIN_GUARDS_FOR_MD_RESTRICTION 10 /** Return true if we should set md dirserver restrictions.
