* core: move TxPool reorg and events to background goroutine
This change moves internal queue re-shuffling work in TxPool to a
background goroutine, TxPool.runReorg. Requests to execute runReorg are
accumulated by the new scheduleReorgLoop. The new loop also accumulates
transaction events.
The motivation for this change is making sends to txFeed synchronous
instead of sending them in one-off goroutines launched by 'add' and
'promoteExecutables'. If a downstream consumer of txFeed is blocked for
a while, reorg requests and events will queue up.
* core: remove homestead check in TxPool
This change removes tracking of the homestead block number from TxPool.
The homestead field was used to enforce minimum gas of 53000 for
contract creations after the homestead fork, but not before it. Since
nobody would want configure a non-homestead chain nowadays and contract
creations usually take more than 53000 gas, the extra correctness is
redundant and can be removed.
* core: fixes for review comments
* core: remove BenchmarkPoolInsert
This is useless now because there is no separate code path for
individual transactions anymore.
* core: fix pending counter metric
* core: fix pool tests
* core: dedup txpool announced events, discard stales
* core: reorg tx promotion/demotion to avoid weird pending gaps
* core: use a wrapped `map` and `sync.RWMutex` for `TxPool.all` to remove contention in `TxPool.Get`.
* core: Remove redundant `txLookup.Find` and improve comments on txLookup methods.
* core: allow price bump at threshold
* core: test changes to allow price bump at threshold
* core: reinstate tx replacement test underneath threshold
* core: minor test failure message cleanups
* core: reduce txpool event loop goroutines and sync structs
* cmd, core, eth: journal local transactions to disk
* core: journal replacement pending transactions too
* core: separate transaction journal from pool
The commit reworks the transaction pool queue limitation tests
to cater for testing local accounts, also testing the nolocal flag.
In addition, it also fixes a panic if local transactions exceeded
the global queue allowance (no accounts left to drop from) and also
fixes queue eviction to operate on all accounts, not just the one
being updated.
With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:
* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.
The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.
* common: remove CurrencyToString
Move denomination values to params instead.
* common: delete dead code
* common: move big integer operations to common/math
This commit consolidates all big integer operations into common/math and
adds tests and documentation.
There should be no change in semantics for BigPow, BigMin, BigMax, S256,
U256, Exp and their behaviour is now locked in by tests.
The BigD, BytesToBig and Bytes2Big functions don't provide additional
value, all uses are replaced by new(big.Int).SetBytes().
BigToBytes is now called PaddedBigBytes, its minimum output size
parameter is now specified as the number of bytes instead of bits. The
single use of this function is in the EVM's MSTORE instruction.
Big and String2Big are replaced by ParseBig, which is slightly stricter.
It previously accepted leading zeros for hexadecimal inputs but treated
decimal inputs as octal if a leading zero digit was present.
ParseUint64 is used in places where String2Big was used to decode a
uint64.
The new functions MustParseBig and MustParseUint64 are now used in many
places where parsing errors were previously ignored.
* common: delete unused big integer variables
* accounts/abi: replace uses of BytesToBig with use of encoding/binary
* common: remove BytesToBig
* common: remove Bytes2Big
* common: remove BigTrue
* cmd/utils: add BigFlag and use it for error-checked integer flags
While here, remove environment variable processing for DirectoryFlag
because we don't use it.
* core: add missing error checks in genesis block parser
* common: remove String2Big
* cmd/evm: use utils.BigFlag
* common/math: check for 256 bit overflow in ParseBig
This is supposed to prevent silent overflow/truncation of values in the
genesis block JSON. Without this check, a genesis block that set a
balance larger than 256 bits would lead to weird behaviour in the VM.
* cmd/utils: fixup import
The transaction pool keeps track of the current nonce in its local pendingState. When a
new block comes in the pendingState is reset. During the reset it fetches multiple times
the current state through the use of the currentState callback. When a second block comes
in during the reset its possible that the state changes during the reset. If that block
holds transactions that are currently in the pool the local pendingState that is used to
determine nonces can get out of sync.
