Our block.Block was JSONized in a bit different fashion than result.Block in
its NextConsensus and Index fields. It's not good for notifications because
third-party clients would probably expect to see the same format. Also, using
completely different Block representation is probably making our client a bit
weaker as this representation is harder to use with other neo-go components.
So use the same approach we took for Transactions and wrap block.Block which is
to be serialized in proper way.
Fix `Script` JSONization along the way, 3.0 node wraps it within `witnesses`.
Getting batch, updating Prometheus metrics and pushing events doesn't require
any locking: batch is a local cache batch that no one outside cares about,
Prometheus metrics are not critical to be in perfect sync and events are
asynchronous anyway.
Native contracts also don't require any locks and they should be processed
before dumping storage changes.
`NewNEO()` and `NewGAS()` methods are trying to initialise
both `onPersist` and `incBalance` methods of NEO and GAS AFTER
nep5TokenNative is set to the VALUE of created nep5 token.
In this situation an attemmpt to call the corresponding native contracts
methods (e.g. transfer native GAS) leads to contract invocation failure,
as far as `nep5TokenNative.incBalance` method is nil.
Fixed this by initializing both `onPersist` and `incBalance` methods
before getting the value of nep5 contract.
Native contracts deployment creates `Transfer` notifications and adds
them into interop context. However, these notifications were not stored
for two reasons:
1. typo in `Transfer` (so these notifications were not recognised during
processing of the invocation tx in (*Blockchain).storeBlock(...) method)
2. these notifications have `from` adress setted to null, so conversion
to []byte fails. Same thing could happen with `to`.
Related C# issue: https://github.com/neo-project/neo/issues/1646
For now, made both `transfer` and `Transfer` valid.
Rename THROWIFNOT to ASSERT, add ABORT opcode.
ABORT cannot be caught, but the implementation should be postponed until
exception handling is implemented.
1. Dropped `Base.ConsensusData` block field
2. Added `Block.ConsensusData` field with `Nonce` and `PrimaryIndex`
3. Removed "Neo.Header.GetConsensusData" and
"AntShares.Header.GetConsensusData" interops
The notion of NativeContractState shouldn't ever existed, native contract is a
contract and its state is saved as regular contract state which is critical
because we'll have MPT calculations over this state soon.
Initial minting should be done in Neo.Native.Deploy because it generates
notification that should have proper transaction context.
RegisterNative() shouldn't exist as a public method, native contracts are only
registered at block 0 and they can do it internally, no outside user should be
able to mess with it.
Move some structures from `native` package to `interop` also to avoid circular
references as interop.Context has to have a list of native contracts (exposing
them via Blockchainer is again too dangerous, it's too powerful tool).
Our test chain is used in core,rpc and (in future) interop packages.
It is better to have all related declarations in one place to avoid
code duplication.
In NEO3 SYSCALL opcode has 4-byte ID parameter.
This commit removes support for string-based syscalls and
changes SYSCALL's parameter to be fixed 4-byte value.
When verifying transaction or block, verification script can be
a simple PUSHNULL + SYSCALL, which means that script-encontaining
entity should be verified.
1. closes#841
2. Commented out test cases where binary transaction are used.
These test cases marked with `TODO NEO3.0: Update binary` and need to be
updated.
3. Updated other tests.
4. Added cache to calculateValidUntilBlock() RPC-client method.
1. Closes#840: added Nonce field to transaction.Transaction and
removed Nonce field from transaction.MinerTx
2. Added following methods to different tx types:
- NewMinerTx()
- NewMinerTxWithNonce(...)
- NewEnrollmentTx(...)
- NewIssueTx()
- NewPublishTx(...)
- NewRegisterTx(...)
- NewStateTx(...)
in order to avoid code duplication when new transaction is created.
3. Commented out test cases where binary transaction/block are used.
These test cases marked with `TODO NEO3.0: Update binary` and need to be
updated.
4. Updated other tests
5. Added constant Nonce to GoveringTockenTx, UtilityTokenTx and genesis
block to avoid data variability. Also marked with TODO.
Which makes iterating over map stable which is important for serialization and
and even fixes occasional test failures. We use the same ordering here as
NEO 3.0 uses, but it should also be fine for NEO 2.0 because it has no
defined order.
Most of the time it's persisted into the MemoryStore or MemCachedStore, when
that's the case there is no real need to go through the Batch mechanism as it
incurs multiple copies of the data.
Importing 1.5M mainnet blocks with verification turned off, before:
real 12m39,484s
user 20m48,300s
sys 2m25,022s
After:
real 11m15,053s
user 18m2,755s

So it's around 10% improvement which looks good enough.
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
When serializing multiple accounts, cost of a buffer grow
can become significant. This commit tries to amortize it by
reusing the same buffer in a single `Persist()` call.
Fixes difference in state changes at mainnet's block 2442790 because contract
migration in b4eb2dc35226e6520ee4e09a56197dff91547b50a7f57edc82930fc18c75dffc
doesn't actually transfer the storage state, it only deletes the old one.
And add an error check just in case.
This is an append-only log which is read only during some RPCs.
It is rather slow to get it from base every time we need to append to
it. This commit stores all NEP5Transfers in batches, so that
only a last batch needs to be unmarshaled during block processing.
That's how it was intended to behave originally. One thing questionable here
is contract price (policy thing, basically) being moved to smartcontract
package, but it's probably fine for NEO 2.0 (as it won't change) and we'll
make something better for NEO 3.0.
1.5M block import time (VerifyBlocks disabled) on AMD Ryzen 5 1600/16GB/HDD,

12% which is even a bit more than could be expected from inputs analysis (that
has around 10% cache hits for a block-wide cache), worth doing.
This change reduces pressure on DB by doing the following things:
* not storing additional KV pair for SpentCoin
* storing Output right in the UnspentCoin, thus eliminating the need to get a
full transaction from DB
At the same time it makes UnspentCoin more fat and hot, but it should probably
worth it.
Also drop `GetUnspentCoinStateOrNew` as it shouldn't ever existed, UTXOs
can't come out of nowhere.
1.5M block import time (VerifyBlocks disabled) on AMD Ryzen 5 1600/16GB/HDD,

So it's almost two-fold which is a great improvement.
C# uses ToArray() or UintXXX(bytes) here which interprets hashes as they
should be interpreted (BE, although they always convert to LE when converting
to String just for the fun of it). It leads to state difference for us at
block 2025204 where even though we have the same value for the key, the key
itself differs, ours:
dd2b538e2a0c1db1ae5061c15be14f916bd1e678e512ffcda6d9499d8e7fe97ee71fd6b8004583d9afe09cc4dadbd5deb63d01e061009b7cffdaa674beae0f930ebe6085af900093e5fe56b34a5c220ccdcf6efc336fc5000000000000000000000000000000000010
theirs:
dd2b538e2a0c1db1ae5061c15be14f916bd1e67861e0013db6ded5dbdac49ce0afd9834500b8d61fe77ee97f8e9d49d9a6cdff12e5009b7cffdaa674beae0f930ebe6085af900093e5fe56b34a5c220ccdcf6efc336fc5000000000000000000000000000000000010
In this key there is a tx hash encoded
(e512ffcda6d9499d8e7fe97ee71fd6b84583d9afe09cc4dadbd5deb63d01e061 in LE used
by all the tools like neoscan).
I love Neo.
Both verification and invocation scripts need to
be unmarshaled from hex.
Also fix failing RPC tests: block contains non-pointer
`transaction.Witness` field and (*Witness).MarshalJSON method
is not called.
They have it specified right in the transaction. Unfortunately, this little
change rendered invalid our RPC test chain, but I think it became even better
after it, especially given that chain generation is a nice test by itself, so
it should be running as a regular test.
prevHash == input.PrevHash, so make less DB accesses and more real work. Fix
some bugs along the way:
* spentCoins structure may already be present in the DB when persisting TX,
there is nothing wrong with that and we shouldn't overwrite it
* it's only used for NEO and only to check for claim validity. Thus, when
processing claim tx the corresponding spentCoins should always be present
in the DB
Everywhere in this code prevHash == input.PrevHash, thus we can easily move
some common code out of the loop saving on DB accesses and
serialization/deserialization.
Implement mempool and consensus block creation policies, almost the same as
SimplePolicy plugin for C# node provides with two caveats:
* HighPriorityTxType is not configured and hardcoded to ClaimType
* BlockedAccounts are not supported
Other than that it allows us to run successfuly as testnet CN, previously our
proposals were rejected because we were proposing blocks with oversized
transactions (that are rejected by PoolTx() now).
Mainnet and testnet configuration files are updated accordingly, but privnet
is left as is with no limits.
Configuration is currently attached to the Blockchain and so is the code that
does policying, it may be moved somewhere in the future, but it works for
now.
Both are very useful outside of the core, this change also makes respective
transactions initialize with the package as they don't depend on any kind of
input and it makes no sense recreating them again and again on every use.
It wasn't sorted when all validators were elected. There is also no need to do
`Unique()` on the result because validators are distinguished by the key, so
no two registered validators can have the same key.
- Attribute should have 2 fields (usage, data)
- VOut should have 4 (5) fields (asset, value, address, n)
- Script should have 2 fields (invocation, verification)
As C# node does it. Technically it's only needed for consensus and could be
implemented in the appropriate package, but for better compatibility with C#
node we're better returning it sorted right here.
We were completely lacking ValidatorsCount that is supposed to track the
number of votes with particular count of consensus nodes which in theory can
change the number of active consensus nodes (if it ever to exceed the number
of standby validators), so we were not producing the right count and based on
that not giving the right set of validators.
Fixes#512.
Simple as that: UnregisteredAndHasNoVotes != !RegisteredAndHasVotes
Registered validators should stay in the DB, we might be in the process of
updating votes for them and that starts with subtraction.
Lack of FreeGasLimit in privnet leads to gas limit exceeding in case of transactions with small amount of GAS to be used for invoke operation (< real cost of the transaction). Solution: Fixed constraint in case when FreeGasLimit == 0. So now we are able to perform transactions in privnet with FreeGasLimit = 0 for free.
Tesnet sync failed with:
Feb 07 00:04:19 nodoka neo-go[1747]: 2020-02-07T00:04:19.838+0300 WARN blockQueue: failed adding block into the blockchain {"error": "failed to store notifications: not supported", "blockHeight": 713984, "nextIndex": 713985}
because some (not so) smart contract emitted a notification with an
InteropItem inside.
Fix mempool and chain locking
This allows us easily make 1000 Tx/s in 4-nodes privnet, fixes potential
double spends and improves mempool testing coverage.
Our mempool only contains valid verified transactions all the time, it never
has any unverified ones. Unverified pool made some sense for quick unverifying
after the new block acceptance (and gradual background reverification), but
reverification needs some non-trivial locking between blockchain and mempool
and internal mempool state locking (reverifying tx and moving it between
unverified and verified pools must be atomic). But our current reverification
is fast enough (and has all the appropriate locks), so bothering with
unverified pool makes little sense.
We not only need to remove transactions stored in the block, but also
invalidate some potential double spends caused by these transactions. Usually
new block contains a substantial number of transactions from the pool, so it's
easier to make one pass over it only keeping valid items rather than remove
them one by one and make an additional pass to recheck inputs/witnesses.
It doesn't harm as we have transactions naturally ordered by fee anyway and it
makes managing them a little easier. This also makes slices store item itself
instead of pointers to it which reduces the pressure on the memory subsystem.
They shouldn't depend on the chain state and for the same transaction they
should always produce the same result. Thus, it makes no sense recalculating
them over and over again.
Eliminate races between tx checks and adding them to the mempool, ensure the
chain doesn't change while we're working with the new tx. Ensure only one
block addition attempt could be in progress.
If blockchain is not closed, logging in defer can occur
after test has finished, which will lead to a panic with
"Log in goroutine after Test* has completed".
Error in Seek means something is terribly wrong (e.g. db was not opened) and
error drop is not the right thing to do, because caller
will continue working with the wrong view.
Turns out, our dApps use it a lot and we were going to the DB to get it which
is a useless waste of time. Technically we could also remove blockHeight here,
but not doing it at the moment as it's more involved.
It eliminates this time waste from the pprof graph, but doesn't change 1.4M ->
1.5M 100K mainnet block import test case in any noticeable way.
This solves two problems:
* adds support for shortened SYSCALL form that uses IDs (similar to #434, but
for NEO 2.0, supporting both forms), which is important for compatibility
with C# node and mainnet chain that uses it from some height
* reworks interop plugging to use callbacks rather than appending to the map,
these map mangling functions are clearly visible in the VM profiling
statistics and we want spawning a VM to be fast, so it makes sense
optimizing it. This change moves most of the work to the init() phase
making VM setup cheaper.
Caveats:
* InteropNameToID accepts `[]byte` because that's the thing we have in
SYSCALL processing and that's the most often usecase for it, it leads to
some conversions in other places but that's acceptable because those are
either tests or init()
* three getInterop functions are: `getDefaultVMInterop`, `getSystemInterop`
and `getNeoInterop`
Our 100K (1.4M->1.5M) block import time improves by ~4% with this change.
First of all, it was wrong, it was not checking for inputs really, it compared
tx hashes for some reason, second, when it did compare inputs it compared only
the PrevIndex part of them which is also wrong.
Also, there is absolutely no reason to go through GetVerifiedTransactions()
here, we don't need this copy of pointers and it can also be outdated by the
time we're to finish our check.

It's a getter function and even though it's quite fancy with its transactions
processing (for consensus operation) it shouldn't ever change the state of the
Blockchain. If we're to change anything here these changes may conflict with
the actual block processing later or may lead to broken state (if transactions
won't be approved for some reason).
go vet is not happy about them:
pkg/io/binaryReader.go:92:21: method ReadByte() byte should have signature ReadByte() (byte, error)
pkg/io/binaryWriter.go:75:21: method WriteByte(u8 byte) should have signature WriteByte(byte) error
This seriously improves the serialization/deserialization performance for
several reasons:
* no time spent in `binary` reflection
* no memory allocations being made on every read/write
* uses fast ReadBytes everywhere it's appropriate
It also makes Fixed8 Serializable just for convenience.
add dao which takes care about all CRUD operations on storage
remove blockchain state since everything is stored on change
remove storage operations from structs(entities)
move structs to entities package
This change (closely related to the neo-project/neo#1321 proposal) speeds up
1.4M mainnet blocks import by 30%. Basically, we're eliminating key decoding
for block's multisignature that has the same keys most of the time.
Things I don't like about this patch:
* yet another parameter for verifyHashAgainstScript()
* vm keys are not copied in/out
But it's rather simple and solves the problem for this particular case, so I
think it's worth it.
It makes very little sense having pointers here, these structures MUST have
some kind of key and this key is not gonna be wandering somewhere on its
own. Fixes a part of #519.
It reduces heap pressure a little for these elements as we don't have to
allocate/free them individually. And they're directly tied to transactions or
block, not being shared or anything like that, so it makes little sense for
them to be pointer-based. It only makes building transactions a little easier,
but that's obviously a minor usecase.
Before this patch on block import we could easily be spending more than 6
seconds out of 30 in Uint256 encoding for UnspentBalance, now it's completely
off the radar.
When 74590551 introduced this code we had no proper caching layer, so there
were these strange fallbacks in the code. fc0031e5 should'd removed them, but
failed to do so, so do it now and fix processing of transactions that touch
storage for the same key (address) in the same block.
Drop wif.GetVerificationScript(), drop
smartcontract.CreateSignatureRedeemScript(), add GetVerificationScript()
directly to the PublicKey and use it everywhere.
This allows easier reuse of opcodes and in some cases allows to eliminate
dependencies on the whole vm package, like in compiler that only needs opcodes
and doesn't care about VM for any other purpose.
And yes, they're opcodes because an instruction is a whole thing with
operands, that's what context.Next() returns.
Commit c80ee952a1 removed temporary store used
to contain changes of the block being processed. It's wrong in that the block
changes should be applied to the database in a single transaction so that
there wouldn't be any intermediate state observed from the outside (which is
possible now). Also, this made changes commiting persist them to the
underlying store effectively making our persist loop a no-op (and not
producing `persist completed` log lines that we love so much).
add processing of validators while block persist;
add validator structure with decoding/encoding;
add validator get from store;
add EnrollmentTX and StateTX processing;
add pubkey decode bytes, unique and contains functions;
Fixes failure to process transaction from the block when it was relayed
initially:

If we're to receive some 500 headers (less than `headerBatchCount`) and quit
before receiving more of them we end up with clean `bc.headerList` that will
be inited going backwards to the `targetHash`, but code path doesn't add add
the `targetHash` itself which it should do in this particular case, otherwise
we end with no genesis block hash in the list.
Missing it the following line could fail on subsequent restarts:
currHeaderHeight, currHeaderHash, err := storage.CurrentHeaderHeight(bc.store)
if the node was stopped before any headers had been received.
Extend Blockchainer with one more method to spawn a VM for test runs and use
it to run scripts. Gas consumption is not counted or limited in any way at the
moment (see #424).
NewInvocationTX() returned a version number one transaction that actually
failed to pass that version down to the invocation data which lead to
serialization/deserialization inconsistency.
VM should be responsible for code execution and in case anyone interested in additional logging or errors they could handle them like we do it iin cli.
We're about stored values here, so print those, which avoids blocking in
bc.HeaderHeight() and removes duplication between blockHeight and
persistedHeight. Fixes saving the blockchain on exit (deferred function in
Run() blocked in persist()).
Test modification was required because storeBlocks() doesn't actually save
headers and thus TestGetTransaction started to fail on persist().
If you're to sync less than 2000 headers no batched header key-value is
gonna be written into the DB and init() would panic because
bc.headerList.Len() would return 0. Use genesis block as a target in this
case.

commit methods duplicated putSmthIntoStore functions, but have MemCachedStore

This adds the following verifications:
* merkleroot check
* index check
* timestamp check
* witnesses verification
VerifyWitnesses is also renamed to verifyTxWitnesses here to not confuse it
with verifyBlockWitnesse and to hide it from external access (no users at the
moment).
Linter isn't happy with our recent changes:
pkg/core/contract_state.go:109:1: receiver name cs should be consistent with previous receiver name a for ContractState
pkg/core/contract_state.go:114:1: receiver name cs should be consistent with previous receiver name a for ContractState

But actually `a` here most probably is a copy-paste from AssetState methods,
so fit the old code to match the new one.
Enable transaction verification for privnets and tests, testnet can't
successfuly verify block number 316711 with it enabled and mainnet stops at
105829.
We want to get a full block, so it has to have transactions
inside. Unfortunately our tests were used to this wrong behavior and utilized
completely bogus transactions without data that couldn't be persisted, so fix
that also.
PublishTX only had one of these flags, but newer contracts (created via the
interop function) can have more and these flags are aggregated into one field
that uses PropertyState enumeration (it's used to publish contract, so
supposedly it's also a nice choice for contract state storage).
It's used a lot and it looks a lot like MemoryStore, it just needs not to
return errors from Put and Delete, so make it use MemoryStore internally with
adjusted interface.
Make it look more like a real transaction, put/delete things with a single
lock. Make a copy of value in Put also, just for safety purposes, no one knows
how this value slice can be used after the Put.
Using pointers is just plain wrong here, because the batch can be updated with
newer values for the same keys.
Fixes Seek() to use HasPrefix also because this is the intended behavior.
Script can return non-bool results that can still be converted to bool
according to the usual VM rules. Unfortunately Bool() panics if this
conversion fails which is OK for things done in vm.execute(), but certainly
not for VerifyWitnesses(), thus there is a need for TryBool() that will just
return an error in this case.
If the block references two ouputs in some other transaction the code failed
to verify it because of key collision. C# code implements it properly by using
full CoinReference type as a key, so let's do it in a similar fashion.
Claim transactions have different logic in C# node, so we need to
implement it too. It's not the most elegant way to fix it, but let's make it
work first and then refactor if and where needed. Fixes verification of Claim
transactions.
BoltDB doesn't have internal batching mechanism, thus we have a substitute for
it, but this substitute is absolutely identical to MemoryBatch, so it's better
to unify them and import ac5d2f94d3 fix into the
MemoryBatch.
Commit 578ac414d4 was wrong in that it saved
only a part of the block, so depending on how you use blockchain, you may
still see that the block was not really processed properly. To really fix it
this commit introduces intermediate storage layer in form of memStore, which
actually is a MemoryStore that supports full Store API (thus easily fitting
into the existing code) and one extension that allows it to flush its data to
some other Store.
It also changes AddBlock() semantics in that it only accepts now successive
blocks, but when it does it guarantees that they're properly added into the
Blockchain and can be referred to in any way. Pending block queing is now
moved into the server (see 8c0c055ac657813fe3ed10257bce199e9527d5ed).
So the only thing done with persist() now is just a move from memStore to
Store which probably should've always been the case (notice also that
previously headers and some other metadata was written into the Store
bypassing caching/batching mechanism thus leading to some inefficiency).
This one will replace blockCache in Blockchain itself as it can and should be
external from it. The idea is that we only feed successive blocks into the
Blockchain and it only stores valid proper Blockchain and nothing else.
This changes the Blockchain to also return unpersisted (theoretically, verified
in the AddBlock!) blocks and transactions, making Add/Get interfaces
symmetrical. It allows to turn Persist into internal method again and makes it
possible to enable transaction check in GetBlock(), thus fixing #366.
It must copy both the value and the key because they can be reused for other
purposes between Put() and PutBatch(). This actually happens with values in
headers processing, leading to wrong data being written into the DB.
Extend the batch test to check for that.
earlier we had an issue with failing test in #353 and other one #305.
Reworked these test to have in-memory database. This led to multiple
changes: made some functions like Hash and Persist public(otherwise
it's not possible to control state of the blockchain); removed
unit_tests storage package which was used mainly for leveldb in unit
tests.
I see these tests not really good since they look like e2e tests and
as for me should be run in separate step against dockerized env or
in case we want to check rpc handler we might want to rework it in order
to have interface for proper unit tests.
As for me this patchset at least makes as safe with not removing totally
previous tests and at the same time CircleCI will be happy now.
It's mostly used for Serializable and in other cases where one needs to
estimate binary-encoded size of the stucture. This also simplifies future
removal of the Size() from Serializable.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
add close function to storage interface
add common defer function call which will close db connection
remove context as soon as it's not needed anymore
updated unit tests
This one fixes#390 and some connected problems. After this patchset the node reconnects to some other nodes if anything goes wrong and it better senses when something goes wrong. It also fixes some block handling problems based on the testnet connection experience.
In the unlikely event of overlapping hash block written to the DB we might end
up with wrong hash list. That happened to me for some reason when synching
with the testnet leading to the following keys with respective values:
150000 -> 2000 hashes
152000 -> 2000 hashes
153999 -> 2000 hashes
Reading it hashes number 153999 and 154000 got the same values and the chain
couldn't sync correctly.
PublicKey() for PrivateKey now just can't fail and it makes no sense to return
an error from it. There is a lot of associated functionality for which this
also is true, so adjust it accordingly and simplify a lot of code.
It makes no sense to provide an API for throw-away public keys, so obtain it
via a new real keypair generation where appropriate (and that's only needed
for testing).
