* Set maximum time for nodes to be banned.
why:
Useless nodes are marked zombies and banned. They a kept in a table
until flushed out by new connections. This works well if there are many
connections. For the case that there are a few only, a maximum time is
set. When expired, zombies are flushed automatically.
* Suspend full sync while block number at beacon block
details:
Also allows to use external setting from file (2nd line)
* Resume state at full sync after restart (if any)
* Relocate full sync descriptors from global `worker_desc.nim` to local pass
why:
These settings are needed only for the full sync pass.
* Rename `pivotAccountsCoverage*()` => `accountsCoverage*()`
details:
Extract from `worker_desc.nim` into separate source file.
* Relocate snap sync sub-descriptors
details:
..from global `worker_desc.nim` to local pass module `snap_pass_desc.nam`.
* Rename `SnapPivotRef` => `SnapPassPivotRef`
* Mostly removed `SnapPass` prefix from object type names
why:
These objects are solely used on the snap pass.
* Rename `playXXX` => `passXXX`
why:
Better purpose match
* Code massage, log message updates
* Moved `ticker.nim` to `misc` folder to be used the same by full and snap sync
why:
Simplifies maintenance
* Move `worker/pivot*` => `worker/pass/pass_snap/*`
why:
better for maintenance
* Moved helper source file => `pass/pass_snap/helper`
* Renamed ComError => GetError, `worker/com/` => `worker/get/`
* Keep ticker enable flag in worker descriptor
why:
This allows to pass this flag with the descriptor and not an extra
function argument when calling the setup function.
* Extracted setup/release code from `worker.nim` => `pass/pass_init.nim`
* Recreating some of the speculative-execution code.
Not really using it yet. Also there's some new inefficiency in
memory.nim, but it's fixable - just haven't gotten around to it yet.
The big thing introduced here is the idea of "cells" for stack,
memory, and storage values. A cell is basically just a Future (though
there's also the option of making it an Identity - just a simple
distinct wrapper around a value - if you want to turn off the
asynchrony).
* Bumped nim-eth.
* Cleaned up a few comments.
* Bumped nim-secp256k1.
* Oops.
* Fixing a few compiler errors that show up with EVMC enabled.
* Extract RocksDB timing tests from snap unit tests as separate module
why:
Declutter, make space for more snap related unit tests.
* Renamed `undumpNextGroup()` => `undumpBlocks()`
why:
Source file name is called `undump_blocks.nim` which should be sort
of in sync with the method name(s).
* Implement snap/1 server method `getByteCodes()`
* Implement snap/1 client method `getByteCodes()`
* Implement faculty for handling contract code fetching via snap/1
* Provide persistent storage for contract code records
* Implement contract code snap sync fetch & store
* Code massage, cosmetics
* Unit tests for verifying snap sync snapshot dump
details:
Use `undump_kvp.dumpAllDb()` to dump any database.
* Improve logging and logging options in Fluffy
- Allow selection of log format, including:
- JSON
- automatic selection based on tty
- Allow log levels per topic configured on cli
* Update sync scheduler pool mode
why:
The pool mode allows to loop over active peers one after another. This
is ideal for soft re-starting peers. As this is a two tier experience
(start/stop, setup/release) the loop must be run twice. This is
controlled by a more rigid re-definition of how to use the `poolMode`
flag.
* Mitigate RLP serialiser deficiency
why:
Currently, serialising the `BlockBody` in not conevrtible and need
to be checked in the `eth` module. Currently a local fix for the
wire protocol applies. Unit tests will stay (after this local solution
will have been removed.)
* Code cosmetics and massage
details:
Main part is `types.toStr()` as a unified function for logging block
numbers.
* Allow to use a logical genesis replacement (start of history)
why:
Snap sync will set up an arbitrary pivot at a block number different
from zero. In fact, the higher the block number the better.
details:
A non-genesis start of history will currently only affect the score
values which were derived from the difficulty.
* Provide function to store the snap pivot block header in chain db
why:
Together with the start of history facility, this allows to proceed
with full syncing once snap has finished.
details:
Snap db storage was switched from a sub-tables to the flat chain db.
* Provide database completeness and sanity checker
details:
For debugging on smaller databases, only
* Implement snap -> full sync switch
- Remove failing on withdrawalsRoot to allow Shanghai BlockHeader.
Still need to add real checks in block header / body validation.
- Add withdrawals array to Block object for JSON-RPC API
* Somewhat tighten error handling
why:
Zombie state is invoked when the current peer turns out to be useless
for further communication. While there is a chance to further talk
to a peer about another topic (aka healing) after some protocol failure,
it makes no sense to do so after a network problem.
The latter state is explained bu the `peerDegraded` flag that goes
together with the `zombie` state flag. A degraded peer is dropped
immediately.
* Remove `--sync-mode=snapCtx` option, always start snap in recovery mode
why:
No need for a snap sync option without recovery mode, can be achieved
by deleting the database.
* Code cosmetics, typos, prettify logging, debugging helper, etc.
* Split off snap sync sub-mode handler into separate modules
details:
The original `worker.nim` source has become a multiplexer for several
snap sync sub-modes `full` and `snap`. The source modules of the
incarnations of a particular sync sub-mode are places into the
`worker/play` directory.
* Update ticker for snap and full sync logging
* Fix fringe condition for `GetStorageRanges` message handler
why:
Receiving a proved empty range was not considered at all. This lead to
inconsistencies of the return value which led to subsequent errors.
* Update storage range bulk download
details;
Mainly re-org of storage queue processing in `storage_queue_helper.nim`
* Update logging variables/messages
* Update storage slots healing
details:
Mainly clean up after improved helper functions from the sources
`find_missing_nodes.nim` and `storage_queue_helper.nim`.
* Simplify account fetch
why:
To much fuss made tolerating some errors. There will be an overall
strategy implemented where the concert of download and healing function
is orchestrated.
* Add error resilience to the concert of download and healing.
why:
The idea is that a peer might stop serving snap/1 accounts and storage
slot downloads while still able to support fetching nodes for healing.
Allow for the Fluffy Portal bridge to inject receipts. This
requires a web3 endpoint to be provided, and currently only
Alchemy is supported due to the used JSON-RPC endpoint.
* Update nearby/neighbour leaf nodes finder
details:
Update return error codes so that in the case that there is no more
leaf node beyond the search direction, the particular error code
`NearbyBeyondRange` is returned.
* Compile largest interval range containing only this leaf point
why:
Will be needed in snap sync for adding single leaf nodes to the range
of already allocated nodes.
* Reorg `hexary_inspect.nim`
why:
Merged the nodes collecting algorithm for persistent and in-memory
into a single generic function `hexary_inspect.inspectTrieImpl()`
* Update fetching accounts range failure handling in `rangeFetchAccounts()`
why:
Rejected response leads now to fetching for another account range. Only
repeated failures (or all done) terminate the algorithm.
* Update accounts healing
why:
+ Fixed looping over a bogus node response that could not inserted into
the database. As a solution, these nodes are locally registered and not
asked for in this download cycle.
+ Sub-optimal handling of interval range for a healed account leaf node.
Now the maximal range interval containing this node is registered as
processed which leafs to de-fragementation of the processed (and
unprocessed) range list(s). So *gap* ranges which are known not to
cover any account leaf node are not asked for on the network, anymore.
+ Sporadically remove empty interval ranges (if any)
* Update logging, better variable names
It is only (mostly) a skeleton, not further developed and not
used. It is unlikely the way forward either when further
developing the Portal state network.
t8n: a silly bug contract address generator, should use original
tx nonce instead of read the nonce from sender address in state db.
Although in EVM contract address generated by reading nonce from state db
is correct, outside EVM that nonce value might have been modified,
thus generating incorrect contract address.
accounts cache: when clearing account storage, the originalValue
cache is not cleared, only the storageRoot set to empty storage root,
this will cause getStorage and getCommitedStorage return wrong value
if the originalValue cache contains old value.
* Redesign snap1 message GetTrieNodes argument prototypes
why:
A list of sub-objects `seq[SnapTriePath]` is more intuitive to work with
than an opaque definition `seq[seq[Blob]]` because the inner object
`SnapTriePath` object has a dedicated inner structure (for how to
interprete `seq[Blob]`.)
* Collect some public constants into `constants.nim` file
* Reorg `hexary_paths.nim`
why:
+ Collecting nodes following a partial path properly ending at an
extension node failed to collect this last node.
+ Merged the nodes collecting algorithm for persistent and in-memory
into a single generic function `hexary_paths.rootPathExtend()`
info:
Extracted common tasks to `hexary_nodes_helper.nim`
* Implement `StorageRanges` message handler for snap/1 protocol
now macro assembler support merge fork, shanghai, etc without using ugly hack.
also each assembler test have their own `setup` section that can access
`vmState` and perform various custom setup.
simplify EVM and delegete those things to accounts cache.
also no more manual state clearing, accounts cache will be
responsible for both collecting touched account and perform
state clearing.
* Gwei conversion should use u256 because u64 can overflow.
* Make withdrawals follow the EIP-158 state-clearing rules.
(i.e. Empty accounts should be deleted.)
* Allow the zero address in normalizeNumber.
(Necessary for one of the new withdrawals-related tests.)
* Another fix with a withdrawals-related test.
* Add state root to node steps path register `RPath` or `XPath`
why:
Typically, the first node in the path register is the state root. There
are occasions, when the path register is empty (i.e. there are no node
references) which typically applies to a zero node key.
In order to find the next node key greater than zero, the state root is
is needed which is now part of the `RPath` or `XPath` data types.
* Extracted hexary tree debugging functions into separate files
* Update empty path fringe case for left/right node neighbour
why:
When starting at zero, the node steps path register would be empty. So
will any path that is before the fist non-zero link of a state root (if
it is a `Branch` node.)
The `hexaryNearbyRight()` or `hexaryNearbyLeft()` function required a
non-zero node steps path register. Now the first node is to be advanced
starting at the first state root link if necessary.
* Simplify/reorg neighbour node finder
why:
There was too mach code repetition for the cases
* persistent or in-memory database
* left or right move
details:
Most algorithms apply for persistent and in-memory alike. Using
templates/generic functions most of these algorithms can be stated
in a unified way
* Update storage slots snap/1 handler
details:
Minor changes to be more debugging friendly.
* Fix detection of full database for snap sync
* Docu: Snap sync test & debugging scenario
