The `ContentNotAcceptableError` is triggered when client either requests
an unsupported media type, or has form errors such as sending multiples.
Updating the description to also indicate non-supported Accept headers.
When EL `newPayload` is slow (e.g., Raspberry Pi with Besu), the epoch
and shuffling caches tend to fill up with multiple copies per epoch when
processing gossip and performing validator duties close to wall slot.
The old strategy of evicting oldest epoch led to the same item being
evicted over and over, leading to blocking of over 5 minutes in extreme
cases where alternate epochs/shuffling got loaded repeatedly.
Changing the cache eviction strategy to least-recently-used seems to
improve the situation drastically. A simple implementation was selected
based on single linked-list without a hashtable.
When backfilling LC updates (`--light-client-data-import-mode=full`),
the highest participation update is computed without ensuring that the
finalized header is in the same period. Updates sharing same period for
both finalized and attested headers should be preferred.
Fixes a bug leading to suboptimal update selection.
* avoid database race-condition inconsistency after fcU `INVALID` then crash
* ensure head doesn't fall behind finalized; add more tests for head movement/reloading DAG
In `eth2_rest_serialization` there was a `dump` function for
`KeystoresAndSlashingProtection` that does not seem to be used.
Removes that unused function.
For pre-encoded JSON REST responses we have `jsonResponsePlain`.
Adds a `sszResponsePlain` function to serve similar purpose for SSZ.
This avoids caller having to explicitly specify Http200 and media type.
When the BN's head is reorged while shut down, reloading the BN will not
assign `BlockRef` to alternate branches. However, blocks from other
branches are still present in the database, leading to their descendants
incorrectly marked as `UnviableFork`. By restricting the check to blocks
that have been finalized, they should be reported as `MissingParent`
instead, eventually re-assigning a `BlockRef` to them.
The `eth1_monitor` check to require engine API from bellatrix onward
has issues in setups where the EL and CL are started simultaneously
because the EL may not be ready to answer requests by the time that the
check is performed. This can be observed, e.g., on Raspberry Pi 4 when
using Besu as the EL client. Now that the merge transition happened, the
check is also not that useful anymore, as users have other ways to know
that their setup is not working correctly (e.g., repeated exchange logs)
When running as Gnosis-chain binary the config was no longer adjustable.
Restores loading custom configs when running as Gnosis-chain binary,
as long as the following keys remain same:
- SLOTS_PER_EPOCH=16
- SECONDS_PER_SLOT=5
- BASE_REWARD_FACTOR=25
- EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD=512
This allows running the Gnosis-chain binary on custom test networks.
* detect mismatch of config and binary
When loading configuration that sets keys that Nimbus bakes into the
binary at compile-time, raise an error if the config is incompatible
instead of ignoring the conflicting value.
When TTD hits before Bellatrix, avoid waiting for new blocks and detect
the TTD block as the terminal block hash even before Bellatrix hits.
Also allow detecting EL genesis block as merge transition block.
This fixes the local testnet simulation with Geth to actually merge.
Since these files may have been created in a previous run or manually,
we want to keep loading them even on nodes that don't enable the
keystore API (for example static setups)
Other changes:
* log keystore loading progressively (#3699)
* print initial fee recipient when loading validators
* log dynamic fee recipient updates
The optimistic candidate block check that only imports a new block into
the EL client if its parent block also had execution enabled is not
needed anymore, as mainnet has merged and the attack period is over.
Port changes to `nextExchangeTransitionConfiguration` from BN to LC:
- 60 seconds delay before initial exchange
- 45 seconds interval between followup exchanges
- Only exchange post Bellatrix
