Description

Backport PR14897, PR15834 and PR16196

Summary:
They all are backported at once to avoid leaving master in a buggy state.

This is Core PR14897: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14897

  • Change in transaction pull scheduling to prevent InvBlock-related attacks

This is Core PR15834: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15834

  • Remove NOTFOUND transactions from in-flight data structures

This prevents a bug where the in-flight queue for our peers will not be
drained, resulting in not downloading any new transactions from our peers.

Thanks to ajtowns for reporting this bug.

  • Add an explicit memory bound to m_tx_process_time

Previously there was an implicit bound based on the handling of m_tx_announced,
but that approach is error-prone (particularly if we start automatically
removing things from that set).

  • Improve NOTFOUND comment
  • Expire old entries from the in-flight tx map

If a peer hasn't responded to a getdata request, eventually time out the request
and remove it from the in-flight data structures. This is to prevent any bugs in
our handling of those in-flight data structures from filling up the in-flight
map and preventing us from requesting more transactions (such as the NOTFOUND
bug, fixed in a previous commit).

  • Fix bug around transaction requests

If a transaction is already in-flight when a peer announces a new tx to us, we
schedule a time in the future to reconsider whether to download. At that future
time, there was a bug that would prevent transactions from being rescheduled
for potential download again (ie if the transaction was still in-flight at the
time of reconsideration, such as from some other peer). Fix this.
