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 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 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.
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
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.
* 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 enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
This PR groups all built-in network flags together and list them in the command as a whole.
And all database path flags(datadir, ancient) are also grouped, since usually these two are
used together.
Debugging recent geth failures in hive, it took a while to realize that it's because
geth doesn't support eth/65 any longer. This PR makes such failures a bit more
easy to figure out.
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: only use eth66 if eth66 is negotiated
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: switch on concrete type not pointer
* cmd/devp2p/internal/ethtest: switch on concrete type not pointer
This PR fixes a false positive PONG 'to' endpoint mismatch seen in hive tests:

This PR refactors the eth test suite to make it more readable and
easier to use. Some notable differences:
- A new file helpers.go stores all of the methods used between
both eth66 and eth65 and below tests, as well as methods shared
among many test functions.
- suite.go now contains all of the test functions for both eth65
tests and eth66 tests.
- The utesting.T object doesn't get passed through to other helper methods,
but is instead only used within the scope of the test function,
whereas helper methods return errors, so only the test function
itself can fatal out in the case of an error.
- The full test suite now only takes 13.5 seconds to run.
This changes the SimultaneousRequests test to send the requests from the same
connection, as it doesn't really make sense to test whether a node can respond
to two requests with different request IDs from separate connections.
