[tor-commits] [tor/main] Move "Didn't recognize cell, but circ stops here" into heartbeat.



commit bcc953307b571df5b640f9fbc299b93c74d3847f
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Oct 19 15:16:49 2021 -0400

    Move "Didn't recognize cell, but circ stops here" into heartbeat.
    
    When we looked, this was the third most frequent message at
    PROTOCOL_WARN, and doesn't actually tell us what to do about it.
    Now:
     * we just log it at info
     * we log it only once per circuit
     * we report, in the heartbeat, how many times it happens, how many
       cells it happens with per circuit, and how long these circuits
       have been alive (on average).
    
    Fixes the final part of #40400.

+  o Minor features (logging, heartbeat):
+    - When a relay receives a cell that isn't encrypted properly for
+      it, but the relay is the last hop on the circuit, the relay
+      now counts how many cells of this kind it receives, on how
+      many circuits, and reports this information in the log.
+      Previously, we'd log each cell at PROTOCOL_WARN level, which
+      is far too verbose to be useful. Fixes part of ticket 40400.
