Erik GrinakerandGitHub 96215a06ed p2p: add prototype peer lifecycle manager (#5882)
This adds a prototype peer lifecycle manager, `peerManager`, which stores peer data in an internal `peerStore`. The overall idea here is to have methods for peer lifecycle events which exchange a very narrow subset of peer data, and to keep all of the peer metadata (i.e. the `peerInfo` struct) internal, to decouple this from the router and simplify concurrency control. See `peerManager` GoDoc for more information.

The router is still responsible for actually dialing and accepting peer connections, and routing messages across them, but the peer manager is responsible for determining which peers to dial next, preventing multiple connections being established for the same peer (e.g. both inbound and outbound), and making sure we don't dial the same peer several times in parallel. Later it will also track retries and exponential backoff, as well as peer and address quality. It also assumes responsibility for peer updates subscriptions.

It's a bit unclear to me whether we want the peer manager to take on the responsibility of actually dialing and accepting connections as well, or if it should only be tracking peer state for the router while the router is responsible for all transport concerns. Let's revisit this later.

// Router manages peer connections and routes messages between peers and reactor
// channels. This is an early prototype.
//
// Channels are registered via OpenChannel(). When called, we register an input
// message queue for the channel in channelQueues and spawn off a goroutine for
// Router.routeChannel(). This goroutine reads off outbound messages and puts
// them in the appropriate peer message queue, and processes peer errors which
// will close (and thus disconnect) the appriate peer queue. It runs until
// either the channel is closed by the caller or the router is stopped, at which
// point the input message queue is closed and removed.
//
// On startup, the router spawns off two primary goroutines that maintain
// connections to peers and run for the lifetime of the router:
//
// Router.dialPeers(): in a loop, asks the peerStore to dispense an
// eligible peer to connect to, and attempts to resolve and dial each
// address until successful.
//
// Router.acceptPeers(): in a loop, waits for the next inbound connection
// from a peer, and attempts to claim it in the peerStore.
//
// Once either an inbound or outbound connection has been made, an outbound
// message queue is registered in Router.peerQueues and a goroutine is spawned
// off for Router.routePeer() which will spawn off additional goroutines for
// Router.sendPeer() that sends outbound messages from the peer queue over the
// connection and for Router.receivePeer() that reads inbound messages from
// the connection and places them in the appropriate channel queue. When either
// goroutine exits, the connection and peer queue is closed, which will cause
// the other goroutines to close as well.
//
// The peerStore is used to coordinate peer connections, by only allowing a peer
// to be claimed (owned) by a single caller at a time (both for outbound and
// inbound connections). This is done either via peerStore.Dispense() which
// dispenses and claims an eligible peer to dial, or via peerStore.Claim() which
// attempts to claim a given peer for an inbound connection. Peers must be
// returned to the peerStore with peerStore.Return() to release the claim. Over
// time, the peerStore will also do peer scheduling and prioritization, e.g.
// ensuring we do exponential backoff on dial failures and connecting to
// more important peers first (such as persistent peers and validators).
//
// An additional goroutine Router.broadcastPeerUpdates() is also spawned off
// on startup, which consumes peer updates from Router.peerUpdatesCh (currently
// only connections and disconnections), and broadcasts them to all peer update
// subscriptions registered via SubscribePeerUpdates().
//
// On router shutdown, we close Router.stopCh which will signal to all
// goroutines to terminate. This in turn will cause all pending channel/peer
// queues to close, and we wait for this as a signal that goroutines have ended.
//
// All message scheduling should be limited to the queue implementations used
// for channel queues and peer queues. All message sending throughout the router
// is blocking, and if any messages should be dropped or buffered this is the
// sole responsibility of the queue, such that we can limit this logic to a
// single place. There is currently only a FIFO queue implementation that always
// blocks and never drops messages, but this must be improved with other
// implementations. The only exception is that all message sending must also
// select on appropriate channel/queue/router closure signals, to avoid blocking
// forever on a channel that has no consumer.
