1. 简介
libp2p swarm 是用于 libp2p 网络的“低级”接口，可以更精细地控制系统的各个方面。swarm 可以建立监听，也可以向其他主机拨号建立新的连接（比如和某个主机建立 tcp 连接），而这里所指的拨号其实就是建立出站连接的过程，它的实现逻辑较为复杂，我们在这里做一个梳理。
2. 代码结构
仓库地址：https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-swarm.git
拨号相关代码主要分布在swarm_dial.go,limiter.go,dial_sync.go这三个文件，它们包含的结构体：
swarm_dial.go：DialBackoff，backoffAddr
DialBackoff 主要用于拨号失败后再次拨号时间限制
dial_sync.go：DialSync、activeDial
DialSync 同步拨号帮助程序，同一时刻只有一个到指定 Peer 的拨号处于活跃状态
limiter.go：dialLimiter、dialJob、dialResult
dialLimiter 主要对拨号并发数限制
3.时序图
通过上图可以看出拨号其实是对并发拨号、同步、重试做了一系列检查，最后再调用 Transport 进行拨号。假设有1000个 Peer，每个 Peer 有5个不同的地址，如果一个一个同步拨势必影响效率，所以需要启动多个协程并发拨号，但也不能完全不限制，dialLimiter 实现了对并发拨号的限制。如果一个地址拨号失败，也不能立即就去再次尝试拨号,这样大概率会失败，这里需要等一段时间再去拨，否则就是浪费资源，所以等多久这里有个算法，DialBackoff 实现了这些功能。那为什么还需要 DialSync？外部程序在调用 DialPeer 的时候，可能启动了多个协程对同一个 Peer 进行并发拨号，因为无法限制外面是怎么调用方式，所以只有在拨号源头进行限制（内部已经实现了并发拨号）。
这里借用 swarm_dial.go 里的一张图，看看 DialSync 是如何工作的：

swarm 对外暴露了一个 DialPeer 方法，应用程序可以直接通过它对 Peer 拨号，有两处用到了它。
// DialPeer connects to a peer.
func (s *Swarm) DialPeer(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID) (network.Conn, error) {
if s.gater != nil && !s.gater.InterceptPeerDial(p) {
log.Debugf("gater disallowed outbound connection to peer %s", p.Pretty())
return nil, &DialError{Peer: p, Cause: ErrGaterDisallowedConnection}
}
return s.dialPeer(ctx, p)
}1.BasicHost 的 Connect 方法调用了 DialPeer 方法
func (h *BasicHost) Connect(ctx context.Context, pi peer.AddrInfo) error {
// absorb addresses into peerstore
h.Peerstore().AddAddrs(pi.ID, pi.Addrs, peerstore.TempAddrTTL)
if h.Network().Connectedness(pi.ID) == network.Connected {
return nil
}
resolved, err := h.resolveAddrs(ctx, h.Peerstore().PeerInfo(pi.ID))
if err != nil {
return err
}
h.Peerstore().AddAddrs(pi.ID, resolved, peerstore.TempAddrTTL)
return h.dialPeer(ctx, pi.ID)
}
func (h *BasicHost) dialPeer(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID) error {
log.Debugf("host %s dialing %s", h.ID(), p)
c, err := h.Network().DialPeer(ctx, p)
if err != nil {
return err
}
select {
case <-h.ids.IdentifyWait(c):
case <-ctx.Done():
return ctx.Err()
}
log.Debugf("host %s finished dialing %s", h.ID(), p)
return nil
}最后 IpfsDHT 调用了 BasicHost 的 Connect
func (dht *IpfsDHT) dialPeer(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID) error {
// short-circuit if we're already connected.
if dht.host.Network().Connectedness(p) == network.Connected {
return nil
}
logger.Debug("not connected. dialing.")
routing.PublishQueryEvent(ctx, &routing.QueryEvent{
Type: routing.DialingPeer,
ID: p,
})
pi := peer.AddrInfo{ID: p}
if err := dht.host.Connect(ctx, pi); err != nil {
logger.Debugf("error connecting: %s", err)
routing.PublishQueryEvent(ctx, &routing.QueryEvent{
Type: routing.QueryError,
Extra: err.Error(),
ID: p,
})
return err
}
logger.Debugf("connected. dial success.")
return nil
}2.另外 Swarm 的 NewStream 也调用了 dialPeer，如果还没有建立连接则先拨号
func (s *Swarm) NewStream(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID) (network.Stream, error) {
log.Debugf("[%s] opening stream to peer [%s]", s.local, p)
dials := 0
for {
c := s.bestConnToPeer(p)
if c == nil {
if nodial, _ := network.GetNoDial(ctx); nodial {
return nil, network.ErrNoConn
}
if dials >= DialAttempts {
return nil, errors.New("max dial attempts exceeded")
}
dials++
var err error
c, err = s.dialPeer(ctx, p)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
}
s, err := c.NewStream()
if err != nil {
if c.conn.IsClosed() {
continue
}
return nil, err
}
return s, nil
}
}4.拨号程序初始化
Swarm{
....
// dialing helpers
dsync *DialSync
backf DialBackoff
limiter *dialLimiter
}
func NewSwarm(ctx context.Context, local peer.ID, peers peerstore.Peerstore, bwc metrics.Reporter, extra ...interface{}) *Swarm {
s := &Swarm{
local: local,
peers: peers,
bwc: bwc,
}
.....
s.dsync = NewDialSync(s.doDial)
s.limiter = newDialLimiter(s.dialAddr, s.IsFdConsumingAddr)
s.proc = goprocessctx.WithContext(ctx)
s.ctx = goprocessctx.OnClosingContext(s.proc)
s.backf.init(s.ctx)
return s
}
type DialFunc func(context.Context, peer.ID) (*Conn, error)
// NewDialSync constructs a new DialSync
func NewDialSync(dfn DialFunc) *DialSync {
return &DialSync{
dials: make(map[peer.ID]*activeDial),
dialFunc: dfn,
}
}
type dialfunc func(context.Context, peer.ID, ma.Multiaddr) (transport.CapableConn, error)
type isFdConsumingFnc func(ma.Multiaddr) bool
func newDialLimiter(df dialfunc, fdFnc isFdConsumingFnc) *dialLimiter {
fd := ConcurrentFdDials
if env := os.Getenv("LIBP2P_SWARM_FD_LIMIT"); env != "" {
if n, err := strconv.ParseInt(env, 10, 32); err == nil {
fd = int(n)
}
}
return newDialLimiterWithParams(fdFnc, df, fd, DefaultPerPeerRateLimit)
}
func newDialLimiterWithParams(isFdConsumingFnc isFdConsumingFnc, df dialfunc, fdLimit, perPeerLimit int) *dialLimiter {
return &dialLimiter{
isFdConsumingFnc: isFdConsumingFnc,
fdLimit: fdLimit,
perPeerLimit: perPeerLimit,
waitingOnPeerLimit: make(map[peer.ID][]*dialJob),
activePerPeer: make(map[peer.ID]int),
dialFunc: df,
}
}
func (db *DialBackoff) init(ctx context.Context) {
if db.entries == nil {
db.entries = make(map[peer.ID]map[string]*backoffAddr)
}
go db.background(ctx)
}
在 NewSwarm 实例的时候对 DialBackoff、dialLimiter、DialBackoff 三个拨号帮助程序进行了初始化。
NewDialSync 需要传入一个拨号函数做参数（实际调用 Swarm 的 doDial 函数）
newDialLimiter 则需要传入两个函数：一个为拨号函数（实际调用 Swarm 的 dialAddr 函数），一个是判断协议是否需要消耗 FD（UNIX/TCP）
DialBackoff 的 init 后台还会启动一个协程做 Backoff 清理工作
5.涉及协程
1、针对每一个 peer，在 DialSync 启动了一个协程去拨号
func (ad *activeDial) start(ctx context.Context) {
ad.conn, ad.err = ad.ds.dialFunc(ctx, ad.id)
// This isn't the user's context so we should fix the error.
switch ad.err {
case context.Canceled:
// The dial was canceled with `CancelDial`.
ad.err = errDialCanceled
case context.DeadlineExceeded:
// We hit an internal timeout, not a context timeout.
ad.err = ErrDialTimeout
}
close(ad.waitch)
ad.cancel()
}
func (ds *DialSync) getActiveDial(p peer.ID) *activeDial {
ds.dialsLk.Lock()
defer ds.dialsLk.Unlock()
actd, ok := ds.dials[p]
if !ok {
adctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
actd = &activeDial{
id: p,
cancel: cancel,
waitch: make(chan struct{}),
ds: ds,
}
ds.dials[p] = actd
go actd.start(adctx)
}
// increase ref count before dropping dialsLk
actd.incref()
return actd
}2、针对每一个 Peer 的每个地址，在 dialLimiter 启动了一个协程去拨号
func (dl *dialLimiter) addCheckFdLimit(dj *dialJob) {
if dl.shouldConsumeFd(dj.addr) {
if dl.fdConsuming >= dl.fdLimit {
log.Debugf("[limiter] blocked dial waiting on FD token; peer: %s; addr: %s; consuming: %d; "+
"limit: %d; waiting: %d", dj.peer, dj.addr, dl.fdConsuming, dl.fdLimit, len(dl.waitingOnFd))
dl.waitingOnFd = append(dl.waitingOnFd, dj)
return
}
log.Debugf("[limiter] taking FD token: peer: %s; addr: %s; prev consuming: %d",
dj.peer, dj.addr, dl.fdConsuming)
// take token
dl.fdConsuming++
}
log.Debugf("[limiter] executing dial; peer: %s; addr: %s; FD consuming: %d; waiting: %d",
dj.peer, dj.addr, dl.fdConsuming, len(dl.waitingOnFd))
go dl.executeDial(dj)
}
func (dl *dialLimiter) addCheckPeerLimit(dj *dialJob) {
if dl.activePerPeer[dj.peer] >= dl.perPeerLimit {
log.Debugf("[limiter] blocked dial waiting on peer limit; peer: %s; addr: %s; active: %d; "+
"peer limit: %d; waiting: %d", dj.peer, dj.addr, dl.activePerPeer[dj.peer], dl.perPeerLimit,
len(dl.waitingOnPeerLimit[dj.peer]))
wlist := dl.waitingOnPeerLimit[dj.peer]
dl.waitingOnPeerLimit[dj.peer] = append(wlist, dj)
return
}
dl.activePerPeer[dj.peer]++
dl.addCheckFdLimit(dj)
}
// executeDial calls the dialFunc, and reports the result through the response channel when finished. Once the response is sent it also releases all tokens it held during the dial.
func (dl *dialLimiter) executeDial(j *dialJob) {
defer dl.finishedDial(j)
if j.cancelled() {
return
}
dctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(j.ctx, j.dialTimeout())
defer cancel()
con, err := dl.dialFunc(dctx, j.peer, j.addr)
select {
case j.resp <- dialResult{Conn: con, Addr: j.addr, Err: err}:
case <-j.ctx.Done():
if err == nil {
con.Close()
}
}
}3、Backoff 清理
func (db *DialBackoff) init(ctx context.Context) {
if db.entries == nil {
db.entries = make(map[peer.ID]map[string]*backoffAddr)
}
go db.background(ctx)
}
func (db *DialBackoff) background(ctx context.Context) {
ticker := time.(BackoffMax)NewTicker
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return
case <-ticker.C:
db.cleanup()
}
}
}
func (db *DialBackoff) cleanup() {
db.lock.Lock()
defer db.lock.Unlock()
now := time.Now()
for p, e := range db.entries {
good := false
for _, backoff := range e {
backoffTime := BackoffBase + BackoffCoef*time.Duration(backoff.tries*backoff.tries)
if backoffTime > BackoffMax {
backoffTime = BackoffMax
}
if now.Before(backoff.until.Add(backoffTime)) {
good = true
break
}
}
if !good {
delete(db.entries, p)
}
}
}6.一些重要规则和算法
1、拨号地址的过滤
// filterKnownUndialables takes a list of multiaddrs, and removes those that we definitely don't want to dial: addresses configured to be blocked, IPv6 link-local addresses, addresses without a dial-capable transport, and addresses that we know to be our own. This is an optimization to avoid wasting time on dials that we know are going to fail.
func (s *Swarm) filterKnownUndialables(p peer.ID, addrs []ma.Multiaddr) []ma.Multiaddr {
lisAddrs, _ := s.InterfaceListenAddresses()
var ourAddrs []ma.Multiaddr
for _, addr := range lisAddrs {
protos := addr.Protocols()
// we're only sure about filtering out /ip4 and /ip6 addresses, so far
if len(protos) == 2 && (protos[0].Code == ma.P_IP4 || protos[0].Code == ma.P_IP6) {
ourAddrs = append(ourAddrs, addr)
}
}
return addrutil.FilterAddrs(addrs,
addrutil.SubtractFilter(ourAddrs...),
s.canDial,
// TODO: Consider allowing link-local addresses
addrutil.AddrOverNonLocalIP,
func(addr ma.Multiaddr) bool {
return s.gater == nil || s.gater.InterceptAddrDial(p, addr)
},
)
}
// FilterAddrs is a filter that removes certain addresses, according to the given filters.
// If all filters return true, the address is kept.
func FilterAddrs(a []ma.Multiaddr, filters ...func(ma.Multiaddr) bool) []ma.Multiaddr {
b := make([]ma.Multiaddr, 0, len(a))
for _, addr := range a {
good := true
for _, filter := range filters {
good = good && filter(addr)
}
if good {
b = append(b, addr)
}
}
return b
}
// AddrOverNonLocalIP returns whether the addr uses a non-local ip link
func AddrOverNonLocalIP(a ma.Multiaddr) bool {
split := ma.Split(a)
if len(split) < 1 {
return false
}
if manet.IsIP6LinkLocal(split[0]) {
return false
}
return true
}2、拨号地址排序
// ranks addresses in descending order of preference for dialing Private UDP > Public UDP > Private TCP > Public TCP > UDP Relay server > TCP Relay server
rankAddrsFnc := func(addrs []ma.Multiaddr) []ma.Multiaddr {
var localUdpAddrs []ma.Multiaddr // private udp
var relayUdpAddrs []ma.Multiaddr // relay udp
var othersUdp []ma.Multiaddr // public udp
var localFdAddrs []ma.Multiaddr // private fd consuming
var relayFdAddrs []ma.Multiaddr // relay fd consuming
var othersFd []ma.Multiaddr // public fd consuming
for _, a := range addrs {
if _, err := a.ValueForProtocol(ma.P_CIRCUIT); err == nil {
if s.IsFdConsumingAddr(a) {
relayFdAddrs = append(relayFdAddrs, a)
continue
}
relayUdpAddrs = append(relayUdpAddrs, a)
} else if manet.IsPrivateAddr(a) {
if s.IsFdConsumingAddr(a) {
localFdAddrs = append(localFdAddrs, a)
continue
}
localUdpAddrs = append(localUdpAddrs, a)
} else {
if s.IsFdConsumingAddr(a) {
othersFd = append(othersFd, a)
continue
}
othersUdp = append(othersUdp, a)
}
}
relays := append(relayUdpAddrs, relayFdAddrs...)
fds := append(localFdAddrs, othersFd...)
return append(append(append(localUdpAddrs, othersUdp...), fds...), relays...)
}3、Backoff 时间设定
// BackoffBase is the base amount of time to backoff (default: 5s).
var BackoffBase = time.Second * 5
// BackoffCoef is the backoff coefficient (default: 1s).
var BackoffCoef = time.Second
// BackoffMax is the maximum backoff time (default: 5m).
var BackoffMax = time.Minute * 5
// AddBackoff lets other nodes know that we've entered backoff with peer p, so dialers should not wait unnecessarily. We still will attempt to dial with one goroutine, in case we get through.
//
// Backoff is not exponential, it's quadratic and computed according to the following formula:
//
// BackoffBase + BakoffCoef * PriorBackoffs^2
//
// Where PriorBackoffs is the number of previous backoffs.
func (db *DialBackoff) AddBackoff(p peer.ID, addr ma.Multiaddr) {
saddr := string(addr.Bytes())
db.lock.Lock()
defer db.lock.Unlock()
bp, ok := db.entries[p]
if !ok {
bp = make(map[string]*backoffAddr, 1)
db.entries[p] = bp
}
ba, ok := bp[saddr]
if !ok {
bp[saddr] = &backoffAddr{
tries: 1,
until: time.Now().Add(BackoffBase),
}
return
}
backoffTime := BackoffBase + BackoffCoef*time.Duration(ba.tries*ba.tries)
if backoffTime > BackoffMax {
backoffTime = BackoffMax
}
ba.until = time.Now().Add(backoffTime)
ba.tries++
}7.核心拨号逻辑
func (s *Swarm) dialAddrs(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID, remoteAddrs []ma.Multiaddr) (transport.CapableConn, *DialError) {
/*
This slice-to-chan code is temporary, the peerstore can currently provide
a channel as an interface for receiving addresses, but more thought
needs to be put into the execution. For now, this allows us to use
the improved rate limiter, while maintaining the outward behaviour
that we previously had (halting a dial when we run out of addrs)
*/
var remoteAddrChan chan ma.Multiaddr
if len(remoteAddrs) > 0 {
remoteAddrChan = make(chan ma.Multiaddr, len(remoteAddrs))
for i := range remoteAddrs {
remoteAddrChan <- remoteAddrs[i]
}
close(remoteAddrChan)
}
log.Debugf("%s swarm dialing %s", s.local, p)
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(ctx)
defer cancel() // cancel work when we exit func
// use a single response type instead of errs and conns, reduces complexity *a ton*
respch := make(chan dialResult)
err := &DialError{Peer: p}
defer s.limiter.clearAllPeerDials(p)
var active int
dialLoop:
for remoteAddrChan != nil || active > 0 {
// Check for context cancellations and/or responses first.
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
break dialLoop
case resp := <-respch:
active--
if resp.Err != nil {
// Errors are normal, lots of dials will fail
if resp.Err != context.Canceled {
s.backf.AddBackoff(p, resp.Addr)
}
log.Infof("got error on dial: %s", resp.Err)
err.recordErr(resp.Addr, resp.Err)
} else if resp.Conn != nil {
return resp.Conn, nil
}
// We got a result, try again from the top.
continue
default:
}
// Now, attempt to dial.
select {
case addr, ok := <-remoteAddrChan:
if !ok {
remoteAddrChan = nil
continue
}
s.limitedDial(ctx, p, addr, respch)
active++
case <-ctx.Done():
break dialLoop
case resp := <-respch:
active--
if resp.Err != nil {
// Errors are normal, lots of dials will fail
if resp.Err != context.Canceled {
s.backf.AddBackoff(p, resp.Addr)
}
log.Infof("got error on dial: %s", resp.Err)
err.recordErr(resp.Addr, resp.Err)
} else if resp.Conn != nil {
return resp.Conn, nil
}
}
}
if ctxErr := ctx.Err(); ctxErr != nil {
err.Cause = ctxErr
} else if len(err.DialErrors) == 0 {
err.Cause = network.ErrNoRemoteAddrs
} else {
err.Cause = ErrAllDialsFailed
}
return nil, err
}一个 Peer 可能有多个地址，对能拨号的地址过滤后，再对这些地址排好序，扔到了这里，先把这些地址放进 channel，再遍历 channel 里的地址（dialLoop）：
STEP 1. 检查上下文和响应
1.1、如果上下文取消，则跳出循环。
1.2、收到响应，并将 active 计数减1， 如果上个循环拨号出错，则 AddBackoff，并记录错误，如果上个循环拨号成功，则直接将 Conn 返回，两者都不是则继续下一次循环。
STEP 2. 尝试拨号
2.1 从 channel 中取出地址，调用 limitedDial 进行拨号（内部会启动协程去拨号），并将 active 计数加1。
2.2 如果上下文取消，则跳出循环。
2.3 收到响应，并将 active 计数减1， 如果拨号出错，则 AddBackoff，并记录错误，如果拨号成功，则直接将 Conn 返回, 两者都不是则继续下一次循环（下一次先检查上下文和响应）。
STEP 3. 返回错误。
dialLoop 结束也没有返回 Conn 则说明：上下文取消或没有地址可拨 ，要不然就是拨号出错，一个地址都没拨成功。
假设这里有三个地址 ，因为启动了协程去拨号，第一个失败了 ，第二个成功了，在等待第二个成功的响应时，第三个拨号任务可能已经执行了，这时返回 Conn 前，先会执行defer cancel() 第三个拨号任务会收到 cancel 信号，如果第三个拨号任务成功了 ，则将这个 Conn 关闭,详见dialLimiter.executeDial。再执行和 defer s.limiter.clearAllPeerDials(p)，这里对waitingOnPeerLimit数据进行清理，不管拨号成功还是失败对这个 Peer 而言拨号已经结束了。
