Struct Inner 

struct Inner {
    params: VanguardParams,
    mode: VanguardMode,
    vanguard_sets: VanguardSets,
    has_onion_svc: bool,
    config_tx: Sender<VanguardConfig>,
}

The mutable inner state of VanguardMgr.

Fields

params: VanguardParams

The current vanguard parameters.

mode: VanguardMode

Whether to use full, lite, or no vanguards.

vanguard_sets: VanguardSets

The L2 and L3 vanguards.

The L3 vanguards are only used if we are running in Full vanguard mode. Otherwise, the L3 set is not populated, or read from.

If Full vanguard mode is enabled, the vanguard sets will be persisted to disk whenever vanuards are rotated, added, or removed.

The vanguard sets are updated and persisted to storage by update_vanguard_sets.

If the VanguardSets change while we are in “lite” mode, the changes will not not be written to storage. If we later switch to “full” vanguards, those previous changes still won’t be persisted to storage: we only flush to storage if the VanguardSets change while we are in “full” mode (changing the VanguardMode does not constitute a change in the VanguardSets).

This is initialized with the vanguard sets read from the vanguard state file, if the file exists, or with a Default VanguardSets, if it doesn’t.

Note: The VanguardSets are read from the vanguard state file even if full vanguards are not enabled. They are not, however, written to the state file unless full vanguards are in use.

has_onion_svc: bool

Whether we’re running an onion service.

config_tx: Sender<VanguardConfig>

A channel for sending VanguardConfig changes to the vanguard maintenance task.

Implementations

impl Inner

fn update_vanguard_sets<R: Runtime>( &mut self, runtime: &R, storage: &DynStorageHandle<VanguardSets>, netdir: &Arc<NetDir>, ) -> Result<(), VanguardMgrError>

Update the vanguard sets, handling any potential vanguard parameter changes.

This updates the VanguardSetss based on the VanguardParams derived from the new NetDir, replenishing the sets if necessary.

NOTE: if the new VanguardParams specify different lifetime ranges than the previous VanguardParams, the new lifetime requirements only apply to newly selected vanguards. They are not retroactively applied to our existing vanguards.

fn update_params(&mut self, new_params: VanguardParams)

Update our vanguard params.

fn flush_to_storage( &self, storage: &DynStorageHandle<VanguardSets>, ) -> Result<(), VanguardMgrError>

Flush the vanguard sets to storage, if the mode is “vanguards-full”.
