This allows for protocols build on top of discv5 to use the ENR
provided in the handshake directly, instead of having to rely
on requesting it from the discv5 routing table.
Instead of patching BlockHeader or BlockBody codec
each time it get additional optional fields,
this PR make the rlp codec automatically handle
optional fields. Thus rlp codec overloading of
EthBlock, BlockHeader, and BlockBody can be removed.
Using exception in rlp.append turn out creates more problem than it solve.
`blockHash` operation is literally everywhere in nimbus-eth1, nimbus-eth2, and fluffy-code.
The compiler begins to complain about unlisted exception.
Rlp bytes coming from network and test vectors already verified by the decoder.
So, any invalid optional fields of blockheader that come into rlp.append means
programming error. Assertion will be more apropiate in this situation and less problematic.
including:
- fix rlp.append of BlockHeader
- add tests for rlp.readRecordType of BlockBody
- add tests for rlp.append of BlockHeader
- add tests for EthBlock roundtrip
* Add metrics related to devp2p peer connections
* Avoid reconnecting to peers that just failed connection
- Add SeenTable to avoid reconnecting to peers immediately after
a failed connect. Depending on the failure, the amount of time is
different. This is similar to what is done in nimbus-eth2.
- Attempt to rework rlpxConnect at the same time, in order to
make sure that errors are properly handled. The current structure
is far from ideal, but it is hopefully a small step in the right
direction. To many oddities in there right now to really rework
rlpxConnect properply.
* Fix rlpx thunk fuzzer
Adds `Withdrawal` type according to EIP-4895, and extends `BlockHeader`
accordingly. Also adds RLP encoding support for `Withdrawal` to enable
building `BlockHeader` (used by Nimbus-CL in empty block prod fallback).
- Fix two possible RangeErrors, due to negative seq allocation
in decodeAuthMessageEIP8 and in decodeAckMessageEIP8
- Set the minimum auth message size to AuthMessageEIP8Length,
in case there are clients that no longer add padding
- Add tests for invalid length cases
RLP Enum deserialization would currently not check if "hole values"
were attempted to be converted to the enum type. Now use
checkedEnumAssign and fail with RlpTypeMismatch on invalid values.
There is at least one occurance of an enum with holes in rlpx p2p:
DisconnectionReason. For this enum the issue could occur.
Also:
- Added enum RLP tests and rlpx p2p disconnect message tests to
test the DisconnectionReason with enum hole value.
- Fixed worse custom DisconnectionReason decoding occurance
in rlpx in waitSingleMsg proc where this issue could occur.
Nim devel brach(1.7.1) introduce gc=orc as default mode.
Because the p2p protocol using unsafe pointer operations
for it's ProtocolInfo and using global variables scattered
around, the orc mistakenly(or maybe correctly) crash the protocol.
