Fix router_picked_poor_directory_log() before 0.2.8 release

    • Closed (moved) Issue created by teor @teor

    Users and developers still report log messages like this: router_picked_poor_directory_log(): Bug: Firewall denied all OR and Dir addresses for all relays when searching for a directory. (on Tor 0.2.8.1-alpha-dev 9093e3769746742f)

    After #18616 (moved) is fixed, we need to work out whether these logs still occur, and whether they are genuine bugs that affect reachability, or spurious warnings that should be eliminated.

    To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information

      We think this is fixed in 0.2.8.3-alpha by fixing other bugs. If not, let's reopen this ticket.

      I'd like to reword the log entries so they explain that it's not necessarily a bug, particularly if the network is down.

      A relay which has been running fine for quite some time, the network is not down, I have hundreds of these messages in the log files and tor service is still running, but logging only similar warnings. This occurs on Tor version 0.2.8.1-alpha-dev (git-58bcae37a2c63db8+26ab2e0).

      We think this is fixed in 0.2.8.3-alpha by fixing other bugs. Would you mind running 0.2.8.4-rc to check?

      Not at all. Thought more info would result from the full trace. Will try now with 0.2.8.4-rc

      This bug seems to be happening, a lot, on moria1, running git master.

      I had been thinking maybe it is because directory authorities make different assumptions about reachability than normal relays?

      But if s7r sees it on a normal relay, maybe it is something else.

      Please see my branch bug18849 on https://github.com/teor2345/tor.git

      It makes both warnings LD_DIR rather than LD_BUG, demotes the "no relay" log to debug level, makes that message more explanatory, and removes the stack trace (it only alarmed people).
