[tor-bugs] #18852 [Core Tor/Tor]: Directory mirrors should check accounting usage more frequently
#18852: Directory mirrors should check accounting usage more frequently
------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.8.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.8.1-alpha
Severity: Normal | Keywords:
Actual Points: | Parent ID: #18616
Points: | Reviewer:

------------------------------+--------------------------------
After merging #12358 and #18616, Tor can wait up to 18 hours before
checking whether the accounting usage has increase so much that we want to
stop advertising DirPort and begindir support.
This is not great for relays with daily accounting periods.
I suggest we check every hour to see whether the result of
router_should_be_directory_server() has changed. If so, we should
mark_my_descriptor_dirty() with an appropriate message about deciding to
advertise or stop advertising directory service support / DirPort.
This likely also means separating the calculation part of
router_should_be_directory_server() from the logging, otherwise we will
log duplicate messages each time we change our minds about our accounting.
