During snap-sync, we request ranges of values: either a range of accounts or a range of storage values. For any large trie, e.g. the main account trie or a large storage trie, we cannot fetch everything at once.
Short version; we split it up and request in multiple stages. To do so, we use an origin field, to say "Give me all storage key/values where key > 0x20000000000000000". When the server fulfils this, the server provides the first key after origin, let's say 0x2e030000000000000 -- never providing the exact origin. However, the client-side needs to be able to verify that the 0x2e03.. indeed is the first one after 0x2000.., and therefore the attached proof concerns the origin, not the first key.
So, short-short version: the left-hand side of the proof relates to the origin, and is free-standing from the first leaf.
On the other hand, (pun intended), the right-hand side, there's no such 'gap' between "along what path does the proof walk" and the last provided leaf. The proof must prove the last element (unless there are no elements).
Therefore, we can simplify the semantics for trie.VerifyRangeProof by removing an argument. This doesn't make much difference in practice, but makes it so that we can remove some tests. The reason I am raising this is that the upcoming stacktrie-based verifier does not support such fancy features as standalone right-hand borders.
This change addresses an issue in snap sync, specifically when the entire sync process can be halted due to an encountered empty storage range.
Currently, on the snap sync client side, the response to an empty (partial) storage range is discarded as a non-delivery. However, this response can be a valid response, when the particular range requested does not contain any slots.
For instance, consider a large contract where the entire key space is divided into 16 chunks, and there are no available slots in the last chunk [0xf] -> [end]. When the node receives a request for this particular range, the response includes:
The proof with origin [0xf]
A nil storage slot set
If we simply discard this response, the finalization of the last range will be skipped, halting the entire sync process indefinitely. The test case TestSyncWithUnevenStorage can reproduce the scenario described above.
In addition, this change also defines the common variables MaxAddress and MaxHash.
This is a minor refactor in preparation of changes to range verifier. This PR contains no intentional functional changes but moves (and renames) the light.NodeSet
This PR makes the tool use the --bootnodes list as the input to devp2p crawl.
The flag will take effect if the input/output.json file is missing or empty.
* core/forkid: skip genesis forks by time
* core/forkid: add comment about skipping non-zero fork times
* core/forkid: skip all time based forks in genesis using loop
* core/forkid: simplify logic for dropping time-based forks
This changes the forkID calculation to ignore time-based forks that occurred before the
genesis block. It's supposed to be done this way because the spec says:
> If a chain is configured to start with a non-Frontier ruleset already in its genesis, that is NOT considered a fork.
The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
The clean trie cache is persisted periodically, therefore Geth can
quickly warmup the cache in next restart.
However it will reduce the robustness of system. The assumption is
held in Geth that if the parent trie node is present, then the entire
sub-trie associated with the parent are all prensent.
Imagine the scenario that Geth rewinds itself to a past block and
restart, but Geth finds the root node of "future state" in clean
cache then regard this state is present in disk, while is not in fact.
Another example is offline pruning tool. Whenever an offline pruning
is performed, the clean cache file has to be removed to aviod hitting
the root node of "deleted states" in clean cache.
All in all, compare with the minor performance gain, system robustness
is something we care more.
Follow-up to #26697, makes the crawler less verbose on route53-based scenarios.
It also changes the loglevel from debug to info on Updates, which are typically the root, and can be interesting to see.
The EmptyRootHash and EmptyCodeHash are defined everywhere in the codebase, this PR replaces all of them with unified one defined in core/types package, and also defines constants for TxRoot, WithdrawalsRoot and UncleRoot
Our discovery crawler spits out a huge amount of logs, most of which is pretty non-interesting. This change moves the very verbose output to Debug, and adds a 8-second status log message giving the general idea about what's going on.
* p2p/discover: add more packet information in logs
This adds more fields to discv5 packet logs. These can be useful when
debugging multi-packet interactions.
The FINDNODE message also gets an additional field, OpID for debugging
purposes. This field is not encoded onto the wire.
I'm also removing topic system related message types in this change.
These will come back in the future, where support for them will be
guarded by a config flag.
* p2p/discover/v5wire: rename 'Total' to 'RespCount'
The new name captures the meaning of this field better.
The new flag allows configuring an explicit endpoint which is to be
announced in the DHT. This feature was originally developed for the
discv5 wormhole experiment (#25798), but it's useful in other contexts
as well.
This PR makes it so that the snap server responds to trie heal requests when possible, even if the snapshot does not exist. The idea being that it might prolong the lifetime of a state root, so we don't have to pivot quite as often.
This changes the CI build to store the git commit and date into package
internal/version instead of package main. Doing this essentially merges our
two ways of tracking the go-ethereum version into a single place, achieving
two objectives:
- Bad block reports, which use version.Info(), will now have the git commit
information even when geth is built in an environment such as
launchpad.net where git access is unavailable.
- For geth builds created by `go build ./cmd/geth` (i.e. not using `go run
build/ci.go install`), git information stored by the go tool is now used
in the p2p node name as well as in `geth version` and `geth
version-check`.
* eth/fetcher: introduce some lag in tx fetching
* eth/fetcher: change conditions a bit
* eth/fetcher: use per-batch quota check
* eth/fetcher: fix some comments
* eth/fetcher: address review concerns
* eth/fetcher: fix panic + add warn log
* eth/fetcher: fix log
* eth/fetcher: fix log
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: fix ignorign tx announcements from prev. tests
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: fix TestLargeTxRequest
This increases the number of tx relay messages the test waits for. Since
go-ethereum now processes incoming txs in smaller batches, the
announcement messages it sends are also smaller.

This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
