There is a notification pushed into the channel when block is being added,
that notification is read by special goroutine that then forwards it to all
subscribers to that particular event. Consensus goroutine is one of that
subscribers, so for the system to properly function it has to read these
events, but at the same time it can generate new blocks inside, so in some
cases it can generate two blocks without ever reading from the subscription
channel and this will lead to a deadlock.
To avoid that we need to check subscription channel for events on every loop.
NewMerkleTree is a memory hog, we can do better than that:
BenchmarkMerkle/NewMerkleTree-8 13 88434670 ns/op 20828207 B/op 300035 allocs/op
BenchmarkMerkle/CalcMerkleRoot-8 15 69264150 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
Now we have VerifyTx() and PoolTx() APIs that either verify transaction in
isolation or verify it against the mempool (either the primary one or the one
given) and then add it there. There is no possibility to check against the
mempool, but not add a transaction to it, but I doubt we really need it.
It allows to remove some duplication between old PoolTx and verifyTx where
they both tried to check transaction against mempool (verifying first and then
adding it). It also saves us utility token balance check because it's done by
the mempool anyway and we no longer need to do that explicitly in verifyTx.
It makes AddBlock() and verifyBlock() transaction's checks more correct,
because previously they could miss that even though sender S has enough
balance to pay for A, B or C, he can't pay for all of them.
Caveats:
* consensus is running concurrently to other processes, so things could
change while verifyBlock() is iterating over transactions, this will be
mitigated in subsequent commits
Improves TPS value for single node by at least 11%.
Fixes#667, fixes#668.
It's cached in dbft for a view anyway, so there is no big difference here
from security POV. Lets us squeeze yet another 4% TPS improvement.
Make the system fail if unable to decrypt the key along the way, which is a
part of #1312.
As it's returned sorted now. Fixes state change mismatch for
NextValidators. It also partially reverts
2f8e7e4d33 and significantly changes the test
chain as the fees are no longer being sent to the same account.
It's not needed any more with Go 1.13 as we have wrapping/unwrapping in base
packages. All errors.Wrap calls are replaced with fmt.Errorf, some strings are
improved along the way.
We were accepting transactions with zero system fee, but we shouldn't do
that. Also, transaction's verification execution has to be limited by network
fee.
GetValidators without parameter is called upon DBFT initialization and it
should receive validators for the next block (that will create it),
parameterized GetValidators is used for NextConsensus calculation where we
need a list for the current state of the chain.

When CN is not up to date with the network is synchonizes blocks first and
only then starts consensus process. But while synchronizing it receives
consensus payloads and tries to process them even though messages reader
routine is not started yet. This leads to lots of goroutines waiting to send
their messages:

Luckily it doesn't break synchronization completely as eventually connection
timers fire, the node breaks all connections, create new ones and these new
ones request blocks successfully until another consensus payload stalls them
too. In the end the node reaches synchronization, message processing loop
starts and releases all of these waiting goroutines, but it's better for us to
avoid this happening at all.
This also makes double-starting a no-op which is a nice property.
Using view number from the recovery message is just plain wrong, it's gonna be
higher than our current view and these messages will be treated as coming from
the future, even though they have their original view number included.
ValidatorsCount is not initialized at block 0 with C# node (the first voter
initializes it) and until that initialization happens the standby validators
list is being returned as is without sorting.
Fixes state mismatch for the key ffffffff0e00000000000000000000000000000001 in
the first blocks.
It also affects tests as now the first validator is different and it receives
the network fees.
part of #904
1. We now have MaxTransactionsPerBlock set in native Policy contract,
so this value should be used in (dbft).GetVerified method instead
of passing it as an argument.
2. Removed (dbft).WithTxPerBlock.
2. DBFT API has changed, so update it's version.
3. Removed MaxTransactionsPerBlock from node configuration, as we
have it set in native Policy contract.
There is no such thing as high/low priority transactions, as there are
no free transactions anymore and they are ordered by fees contained
in transaction itself.
Closes#1063.
We make it explicit in the appropriate Block/Transaction structures, not via a
singleton as C# node does. I think this approach has a bit more potential and
allows better packages reuse for different purposes.
Two changes being done here, because they require a lot of updates to
tests. Now we're back into version 0 and we only have one type of
transaction.
It also removes GetType and GetScript interops, both are obsolete in Neo 3.
Get new blocks directly from the Blockchain. It may lead to some duplications
(as we'll also receive our own blocks), but at the same time it's more
correct, because technically we can also get blocks via other means besides
network server like RPC (submitblock call). And it simplifies network server
at the same time.
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
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.
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.
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
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.
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.
Fixes GolangCI:
Error return value of
(*github.com/CityOfZion/neo-go/pkg/core/mempool.Pool).Add is not checked
(from errcheck)
and allows us to almost completely forget about mempool here.
We can only add one block of the given height and we have two competing
goroutines to do that --- consensus and block queue. Whomever adds the block
first shouldn't trigger an error in another one.
Fix block relaying for blocks added via the block queue also, previously one
consensus-generated blocks were broadcasted.
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.
The chain may already be more current than our dBFT state (like when the node
has commited something at view 0, but all the other nodes changed view and
accepted something at view 1), so in this case we should reinit dBFT on new
height.
While decoding payload, local implementations of Recovery*
messages were used, but when creating RecoveryMessage inside dBFT
library default NewRecoveryMessage was invoked. This lead to parsing
errors.
When system and network pressure is high it can be beneficial
to use transactions which and were already proposed.
The assumption is that they will be in other node's memory pool
with more probability.
There is no point in encoding the output of this function in a WIF format,
most of the users actually want the real key and those who need a WIF can
easily get if from the key (and it's simpler than getting the key from the
WIF).
It also fixes a severe bug in NEP2Decrypt, base58 decoding errors were not
processed correctly.
Do not fill verification script randomly as there is a probability
for it to be executed sucessfully.
