It's not network-tied any more, network is only needed to
sign/verify. Unfortunately we still have to keep network in consensus data
structures because of dbft library interface.
There was a deadlock while trying to finalize transaction during
PostBlock:
1) (*Notary).PostBlock is called under the blockchain lock
2) (*Notary).onTransaction is called inside the PostBlock
3) (*Notary).onTransaction needs to RLock the blockchain to add
completed transaction to the memory pool (and the blockchain is Lock'ed
by this moment)
The problem is fixed by using notifications subsistem, because it's not
required to call (*Notary).PostBlock under the blockchain lock.
And stop dropping connections if we're to receive them. Proper handling is
subject of #1701, but we need at least some connection-level stability for
now.
Node receiving extensible payload from the future is confused and drops
connection. Note that this can still happen if the node is to loose its
synchrony.
Calling `IsInSync()` is quite expensive, so we stop doing that once synchrony
is reached (hence bool flag).
1. Initialization is performed via `Blockchain` methods.
2. Native Oracle contract updates list of oracle nodes
and in-fly requests in `PostPersist`.
3. RPC uses Oracle module directly.
1) It duplicates registration in `version` message handler and no valid
connection can work without version exchange.
2) On public networks we have seed nodes defined by names, so we register
connections to them using these names, but then if connection is dropped we
delist them by IP:PORT combinations which can lead to zero PeerCount() with
all seeds still being registered as connected in the discovery subsystem
and thus no reconnection attempts being made.
It could be the case that checks are performed simultaneosly and
peers connections goes down from 2 to 0. We must take such case into
account and register address as good in discovery.
Right now a single slow peer can slow down whole network.
Do broadcast in 2 parts:
1. Perform non-blocking send to all peers if possible.
2. Perform blocking sends until message is sent to 2/3 of good peers.
Prices are defined in as a coefficients to `BaseExecFee` which
is defined by Policy contract (TBD later).
Native method prices are defined without need to multiply.
It happens from time to time in a four-node private network where there are
seeds (aka CNs) and not a lot of other nodes to connect to.
I don't know how to test for an infinite loop that has no side-effects, so no
test added here.
If the node is to start with seeds unavailable it will try connecting to each
of them three times, blacklist them and then sit forever waiting for
something. It's not a good behavior, it should always try connecting to seeds
if nothing else works.
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.
GetBlockByIndex handler starts sending blocks right from the start index and
if that index is s.chain.BlockHeight() then we're requesting and receiving a
block we already have.
Turns out, C# node no longer broadcasts an Inv when it's creating a block,
instead it sends a ping and if we're not paying attention to the height
specified there we're technically missing a new block. Of course we'll get it
later after ping timer expiration and regular ping/pong sequence, but that's
delaying it for no good reason.
It no longer depends on blockchain state and there can't ever be an error, in
fact we can always iterate over signers, so copying these hashes doesn't make
much sense at all as well as sorting arrays in verifyTxWitnesses (witnesses
order must match signers order).
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.
Closes#1192
1. We now have CMDGetBlockByIndex, so there's no need to request headers
first when we can just ask for blocks.
2. We don't ask for headers (i.e. we don't send CMDGetHeaders),
consequently, we shouldn't react on CMDHeaders.
3. But we still keep on reacting on CMDGetHeaders command as
there could be a node which needs headers.
It returned an error in case if block wasn't found (it might be when our
chain is lower). Fixed. It also should return all requested blocks, not
the first one.
We can't lock them (or there will be a deadlock), but we need to fix this:

GetValidators without parameter is called upon DBFT initialization and it

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.
Turns out, Neo uses block compression and not a streaming lz4 format. And it
doesn't contain uncompressed payload size which makes guessing it somewhat
suboptimal.
They actually use the same types as for messages. Fixes

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.
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
Why a deadlock can occur:
1. (*DefaultDiscovery).run() has a for loop over requestCh channel.
2. (*DefaultDiscovery).RequestRemote() send to this channel while
holding a mutex.
3. (*DefaultDiscovery).RegisterBadAddr() tries to take mutex for write.
4. Second select-case can't take mutex for read because of (3).
Close transport and disconnect peers right in the Shutdown(), so that no new
connections would be accepted and so that all the peers would be disconnected
correctly (avoiding the same deadlock as in e2116e4c3f).
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.
We can still lock the (*Server).run with dead peers:

The problem is that the select in putPacketIntoQueue() only works the way it
was intended to after the `close(p.done)`, but that happens only after
successful unregistration request send. Thus, do disconnects the other way
around, first unblock queueing and exit goroutines, then destroy the
connection (if it wasn't previously destroyed) and only after that signal to
the Server.
We can leak sending goroutines and stall broadcasts because of already gone
peers that happened to be cached by some s.Peers() user (more than 800 of
these can be seen in nodoka log along with (*Server).run blocking on
CMDGetAddr send):

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.
It can lead to some goroutine explosion, but supposedly it's better than
stalling other processing and eventually all of these goroutines should finish
their sends. Note that this doesn't change the behavior for RPC-relayed
transactions that are still waiting for the broadcast to finish ensuring
proper transaction distribution before returning the result to the client.
If we have already got Version message, we don't need the rest of handshake to
complete before being able to properly answer the PeerAddr() requests. Fixes
some duplicate connections between machines.
This one is designed to give more priority to direct nodes communication, that
is that their messaging would have more priority than generic broadcasts. It
should improve consensus process under TX pressure and allow to handle
pings in time (preventing disconnects).
They have the opposite order, height first and nonce second. It was done wrong
in 4e6ed902 and never fixed since. Fixes sending wrong peer state leading to
useless getheaders messages (and disconnects when the other side is lagging
behind).
We can have more than one connection attempt in progress and not yet completed
the handshake, so if there is a Version already received we should look it.
Our node was too pingy because of wrong timer setups (that divided timeout
Duration by time.Second), it also was wrong in its time calculations (using
UTC time to calculate intervals). At the same time missing block is a
server-wide problem, so it's better solved with server-wide protocol loop.
1) Make timeout a timeout, don't do magic ping counts.
2) Drop additional timer from the main peer's protocol loop, create it
dynamically and make it disconnect the peer.
3) Don't expose the ping counter to the outside, handle more logic inside the
Peer.
Relates to #430.
We don't and we won't have synchronized clocks in the network so the only
timestamp that we can compare our local time with is the one made
ourselves. What this ping mechanism is used for is to recover from missing the
block broadcast, thus it's appropriate for it to trigger after X seconds of
the local time since the last block received.
Relates to #430.
In reality it will never be true exactly in the case where we want this ping
mechanism to work --- when the node failed to get a block from the net. It
won't get the header either and thus its block height will be equal to header
height. The only moment when this condition is met is when the node does
initial synchronization and this synchronization works just fine without any
pings.
Relates to #430.
Two queues for high-priority and ordinary messages. Fixes#590. These queues
are deliberately made small to avoid buffer bloat problem, there is gonna be
another queueing layer above them to compensate for that. The queues are
designed to be synchronous in enqueueing, async capabilities are to be added
layer above later.
add pingInterval same as used in ref C# implementation with the same logic
add pingTimeout which is used to check whether pong received. If not -- drop the peer.
add pingLimit which is hardcoded to 4 in TCPPeer. It's limit for unsuccessful ping/pong calls (where pong wasn't received in pingTimeout interval)
It wasn't actually requesting transactions but rather sending an inventory
message telling everyone that we have them which is completely wrong and
easily leads to ChangeView that could be avoided.
