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.
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,
before:
real 302m9.895s
user 96m17.200s
sys 13m37.084s
after:
real 159m16.551s
user 69m58.279s
sys 7m34.334s
So it's almost two-fold which is a great improvement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Importing 100K blocks starting at 1.4M, before this patch:
real 6m0,356s
user 8m52,293s
sys 0m47,372s
After this patch:
real 4m17,748s
user 6m23,316s
sys 0m37,866s
Almost 30% better.
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).
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.
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).
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().
