This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.
* p2p: add low port check in dialer
We already have a check like this for UDP ports, add a similar one in
the dialer. This prevents dials to port zero and it's also an extra
layer of protection against spamming HTTP servers.
* p2p/discover: use errLowPort in v4 code
* p2p: change port check
* p2p: add comment
* p2p/simulations/adapters: ensure assigned port is in all node records
* p2p: new dial scheduler
This change replaces the peer-to-peer dial scheduler with a new and
improved implementation. The new code is better than the previous
implementation in two key aspects:
- The time between discovery of a node and dialing that node is
significantly lower in the new version. The old dialState kept
a buffer of nodes and launched a task to refill it whenever the buffer
became empty. This worked well with the discovery interface we used to
have, but doesn't really work with the new iterator-based discovery
API.
- Selection of static dial candidates (created by Server.AddPeer or
through static-nodes.json) performs much better for large amounts of
static peers. Connections to static nodes are now limited like dynanic
dials and can no longer overstep MaxPeers or the dial ratio.
* p2p/simulations/adapters: adapt to new NodeDialer interface
* p2p: re-add check for self in checkDial
* p2p: remove peersetCh
* p2p: allow static dials when discovery is disabled
* p2p: add test for dialScheduler.removeStatic
* p2p: remove blank line
* p2p: fix documentation of maxDialPeers
* p2p: change "ok" to "added" in static node log
* p2p: improve dialTask docs
Also increase log level for "Can't resolve node"
* p2p: ensure dial resolver is truly nil without discovery
* p2p: add "looking for peers" log message
* p2p: clean up Server.run comments
* p2p: fix maxDialedConns for maxpeers < dialRatio
Always allocate at least one dial slot unless dialing is disabled using
NoDial or MaxPeers == 0. Most importantly, this fixes MaxPeers == 1 to
dedicate the sole slot to dialing instead of listening.
* p2p: fix RemovePeer to disconnect the peer again
Also make RemovePeer synchronous and add a test.
* p2p: remove "Connection set up" log message
* p2p: clean up connection logging
We previously logged outgoing connection failures up to three times.
- in SetupConn() as "Setting up connection failed addr=..."
- in setupConn() with an error-specific message and "id=... addr=..."
- in dial() as "Dial error task=..."
This commit ensures a single log message is emitted per failure and adds
"id=... addr=... conn=..." everywhere (id= omitted when the ID isn't
known yet).
Also avoid printing a log message when a static dial fails but can't be
resolved because discv4 is disabled. The light client hit this case all
the time, increasing the message count to four lines per failed
connection.
* p2p: document that RemovePeer blocks
* rpc: improve codec abstraction
rpc.ServerCodec is an opaque interface. There was only one way to get a
codec using existing APIs: rpc.NewJSONCodec. This change exports
newCodec (as NewFuncCodec) and NewJSONCodec (as NewCodec). It also makes
all codec methods non-public to avoid showing internals in godoc.
While here, remove codec options in tests because they are not
supported anymore.
* p2p/simulations: use github.com/gorilla/websocket
This package was the last remaining user of golang.org/x/net/websocket.
Migrating to the new library wasn't straightforward because it is no
longer possible to treat WebSocket connections as a net.Conn.
* vendor: delete golang.org/x/net/websocket
* rpc: fix godoc comments and run gofmt
This change
- implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
- replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
implementation changes.
- reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
processing to prevent database contention.
- implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
- adds a unit test for the new client manager.
- adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
control functions through the new API.
* node: close AccountsManager in new Close method
* p2p/simulations, p2p/simulations/adapters: handle node close on shutdown
* node: move node ephemeralKeystore cleanup to stop method
* node: call Stop in Node.Close method
* cmd/geth: close node.Node created with makeFullNode in cli commands
* node: close Node instances in tests
* cmd/geth, node: minor code style fixes
* cmd, console, miner, mobile: proper node Close() termination
This fixes a rare deadlock with the inproc adapter:
- A node is stopped, which acquires Network.lock.
- The protocol code being simulated (swarm/network in my case)
waits for its goroutines to shut down.
- One of those goroutines calls into the simulation to add a peer,
which waits for Network.lock.
The fix for the deadlock is really simple, just release the lock
before stopping the simulation node.
Other changes in this PR clean up the exec adapter so it reports
node startup errors better and remove the docker adapter because
it just adds overhead.
In the exec adapter, node information is now posted to a one-shot
server. This avoids log parsing and allows reporting startup
errors to the simulation host.
A small change in package node was needed because simulation
nodes use port zero. Node.{HTTP,WS}Endpoint now return the live
endpoints after startup by checking the TCP listener.
Package p2p/enode provides a generalized representation of p2p nodes
which can contain arbitrary information in key/value pairs. It is also
the new home for the node database. The "v4" identity scheme is also
moved here from p2p/enr to remove the dependency on Ethereum crypto from
that package.
Record signature handling is changed significantly. The identity scheme
registry is removed and acceptable schemes must be passed to any method
that needs identity. This means records must now be validated explicitly
after decoding.
The enode API is designed to make signature handling easy and safe: most
APIs around the codebase work with enode.Node, which is a wrapper around
a valid record. Going from enr.Record to enode.Node requires a valid
signature.
* p2p/discover: port to p2p/enode
This ports the discovery code to the new node representation in
p2p/enode. The wire protocol is unchanged, this can be considered a
refactoring change. The Kademlia table can now deal with nodes using an
arbitrary identity scheme. This requires a few incompatible API changes:
- Table.Lookup is not available anymore. It used to take a public key
as argument because v4 protocol requires one. Its replacement is
LookupRandom.
- Table.Resolve takes *enode.Node instead of NodeID. This is also for
v4 protocol compatibility because nodes cannot be looked up by ID
alone.
- Types Node and NodeID are gone. Further commits in the series will be
fixes all over the the codebase to deal with those removals.
* p2p: port to p2p/enode and discovery changes
This adapts package p2p to the changes in p2p/discover. All uses of
discover.Node and discover.NodeID are replaced by their equivalents from
p2p/enode.
New API is added to retrieve the enode.Node instance of a peer. The
behavior of Server.Self with discovery disabled is improved. It now
tries much harder to report a working IP address, falling back to
127.0.0.1 if no suitable address can be determined through other means.
These changes were needed for tests of other packages later in the
series.
* p2p/simulations, p2p/testing: port to p2p/enode
No surprises here, mostly replacements of discover.Node, discover.NodeID
with their new equivalents. The 'interesting' API changes are:
- testing.ProtocolSession tracks complete nodes, not just their IDs.
- adapters.NodeConfig has a new method to create a complete node.
These changes were needed to make swarm tests work.
Note that the NodeID change makes the code incompatible with old
simulation snapshots.
* whisper/whisperv5, whisper/whisperv6: port to p2p/enode
This port was easy because whisper uses []byte for node IDs and
URL strings in the API.
* eth: port to p2p/enode
Again, easy to port because eth uses strings for node IDs and doesn't
care about node information in any way.
* les: port to p2p/enode
Apart from replacing discover.NodeID with enode.ID, most changes are in
the server pool code. It now deals with complete nodes instead
of (Pubkey, IP, Port) triples. The database format is unchanged for now,
but we should probably change it to use the node database later.
* node: port to p2p/enode
This change simply replaces discover.Node and discover.NodeID with their
new equivalents.
* swarm/network: port to p2p/enode
Swarm has its own node address representation, BzzAddr, containing both
an overlay address (the hash of a secp256k1 public key) and an underlay
address (enode:// URL).
There are no changes to the BzzAddr format in this commit, but certain
operations such as creating a BzzAddr from a node ID are now impossible
because node IDs aren't public keys anymore.
Most swarm-related changes in the series remove uses of
NewAddrFromNodeID, replacing it with NewAddr which takes a complete node
as argument. ToOverlayAddr is removed because we can just use the node
ID directly.

This commit adds all changes needed for the merge of swarm-network-rewrite.
The changes:
- build: increase linter timeout
- contracts/ens: export ensNode
- log: add Output method and enable fractional seconds in format
- metrics: relax test timeout
- p2p: reduced some log levels, updates to simulation packages
- rpc: increased maxClientSubscriptionBuffer to 20000
p2p/simulations: introduce dialBan
- Refactor simulations/network connection getters to support
avoiding simultaneous dials between two peers If two peers dial
simultaneously, the connection will be dropped to help avoid
that, we essentially lock the connection object with a
timestamp which serves as a ban on dialing for a period of time
(dialBanTimeout).
- The connection getter InitConn can be wrapped and passed to the
nodes via adapters.NodeConfig#Reachable field and then used by
the respective services when they initiate connections. This
massively stablise the emerging connectivity when running with
hundreds of nodes bootstrapping a network.
p2p: add Inbound public method to p2p.Peer
p2p/simulations: Add server id to logs to support debugging
in-memory network simulations when multiple peers are logging.
p2p: SetupConn now returns error. The dialer checks the error and
only calls resolve if the actual TCP dial fails.
This commit introduces a network simulation framework which
can be used to run simulated networks of devp2p nodes. The
intention is to use this for testing protocols, performing
benchmarks and visualising emergent network behaviour.
