feat(config): ability to disable Bitswap fully or just server #10782

gystemd · 2025-04-10T21:58:18Z

Replaced by #10793

This pull request introduces changes to the Bitswap configuration and functionality, including the addition of new configuration options, modifications to the Bitswap server/client behavior, and the inclusion of new tests to verify these changes.

Bitswap Configuration Enhancements:

Added a new BitswapConfig struct in config/bitswap.go to hold Bitswap configuration options, including Enabled and ServerEnabled flags.
Updated the Config struct in config/config.go to include the new BitswapConfig field.

Bitswap Server/Client Behavior:

Modified the Bitswap function in core/node/bitswap.go to respect the ServerEnabled flag, using an empty blockstore when the server is disabled to prevent serving blocks to other peers.
Updated the OnlineExchange function to return a no-op exchange when Bitswap is disabled.
Added a noopExchange struct to handle cases where Bitswap is disabled, ensuring no blocks are served or retrieved.

Testing:

Introduced a new test file test/cli/bitswap_config_test.go with multiple test cases to verify the behavior of Bitswap configuration, including scenarios where the server is enabled, disabled, or Bitswap is completely disabled.

Thank you @gystemd, this partially works, but does not fully disable the server (it is still possible for other peers to send us WANT and GET for CIDs we dont have).

See ideas (A) and (B) below, I suspect we will end up with (B) but let's see what is easier.

We need a test that confirms ipfs id peerid no longer includes /ipfs/bitswap protocols when Bitswap.ServerEnabled is set to false (ensuring we no longer announce ourselves as server)

Original PR: #10782 This pull request introduces changes to the Bitswap configuration and functionality, including the addition of new configuration options, modifications to the Bitswap server/client behavior, and the inclusion of new tests to verify these changes. * Added a new `BitswapConfig` struct in `config/bitswap.go` to hold Bitswap configuration options, including `Enabled` and `ServerEnabled` flags. * Updated the `Config` struct in `config/config.go` to include the new `BitswapConfig` field. * Modified the `Bitswap` function in `core/node/bitswap.go` to respect the `ServerEnabled` flag, using an empty blockstore when the server is disabled to prevent serving blocks to other peers. * Updated the `OnlineExchange` function to return a no-op exchange when Bitswap is disabled. * Added a `noopExchange` struct to handle cases where Bitswap is disabled, ensuring no blocks are served or retrieved. * Introduced a new test file `test/cli/bitswap_config_test.go` with multiple test cases to verify the behavior of Bitswap configuration, including scenarios where the server is enabled, disabled, or Bitswap is completely disabled. - Closes #10717 - Depends on ipfs/boxo#912

Tested latest commit 258fb25 and not returning error here seems to be why we have a panic when executing ipfs cat when Bitswap.Enabled is set to false:

Seems to be an easy fix, I'll push one soon.

Fixes panic described in: ipfs#10782 (comment)

Thank you for your work and patience @gystemd.

Since we switched to latest boxo release, we don't need non-fork local branch PR anymore, using this one
Pushed small fix for a panic described in #10782 (comment) and extra test check, but overall lgtm.
We may want to move noopExchange to boxo/exchange in the future, but fine to keep it here for now (not worth blocking this PR on that).
This is good enough for testing, we can tackle removal of libp2p identify announcement when Bitswap.Enabled=false in future PR.

I'm merging this to include in 0.35.0-rc1 and do some tests in staging environment.
