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.
Because the constants are loaded directly via `emitLoadConst`, there is no need to store
them in an array of locals. It can have a big overhead, because it
is done at the beginning of every function.
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.
Returning error string as a result (not an error) is utterly wrong, but C#
implementation just returns a zero balance for unknown addresses, so we should
follow that.
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.
Append should leave it's result on top of the stack.
Thus we need to transform top of the stack:
(top) a . b --> (top) a . b . b
It can be done with just OVER + SWAP.
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.
