In miner/worker.go, there are two goroutine using channel w.newWorkCh: newWorkerLoop() sends to this channel, and mainLoop() receives from this channel. Only the receive operation is in a select.
However, w.exitCh may be closed by another goroutine. This is fine for the receive since receive is in select, but if the send operation is blocking, then it will block forever. This commit puts the send in a select, so it won't block even if w.exitCh is closed.
Similarly, there are two goroutines using channel errc: the parent that runs the test receives from it, and the child created at line 573 sends to it. If the parent goroutine exits too early by calling t.Fatalf() at line 614, then the child goroutine will be blocked at line 574 forever. This commit adds 1 buffer to errc. Now send will not block, and receive is not influenced because receive still needs to wait for the send.
This changes how the downloader works, a little bit. Previously, when block sync started,
we immediately started filling up to 8192 blocks. Usually this is fine, blocks are small
in the early numbers. The threshold then is lowered as we measure the size of the blocks
that are filled.
However, if the node is shut down and restarts syncing while we're in a heavy segment,
that might be bad. This PR introduces a more conservative initial threshold of 2K blocks
instead.

notes
removed some mentions of eth62, bumped protocol err too old to >=63
* remove sanity checks and bump supported protocol version up to 63

This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
* eth/downloaded: fixed datarace between synchronize and Progress
There was a race condition between `downloader.synchronize()` and `Progress` `syncWithPeer` `fetchHeight` `findAncestors` and `processHeaders`
This PR changes the behavior of the downloader a bit.
Previously the functions `Progress` `syncWithPeer` `fetchHeight` `findAncestors` and `processHeaders` read the syncMode anew within their loops. Now they read the syncMode at the start of their function and don't change it during their runtime.
* eth/downloaded: comment
* eth/downloader: added comment
* eth/downloader tests: fix spurious failing test due to race between receipts/headers
* miner tests: fix travis failure on arm64
* eth/downloader: tests - store td in ancients too
This PR makes use of go 1.13 error handling, wrapping errors and using
errors.Is to check a wrapped root-cause. It also removes the travis
builders for go 1.11 and go 1.12.
* all: freezer style syncing
core, eth, les, light: clean up freezer relative APIs
core, eth, les, trie, ethdb, light: clean a bit
core, eth, les, light: add unit tests
core, light: rewrite setHead function
core, eth: fix downloader unit tests
core: add receipt chain insertion test
core: use constant instead of hardcoding table name
core: fix rollback
core: fix setHead
core/rawdb: remove canonical block first and then iterate side chain
core/rawdb, ethdb: add hasAncient interface
eth/downloader: calculate ancient limit via cht first
core, eth, ethdb: lots of fixes
* eth/downloader: print ancient disable log only for fast sync
* core, eth, trie: bloom filter for trie node dedup during fast sync
* eth/downloader, trie: address review comments
* core, ethdb, trie: restart fast-sync bloom construction now and again
* eth/downloader: initialize fast sync bloom on startup
* eth: reenable eth/62 until we properly remove it
* core: speed up GenerateChain
Use a mock implementation of ChainReader instead of creating
and destroying a BlockChain object for each generated block.
* eth/downloader: speed up tests by generating chain only once
This change reworks the downloader tests so they share a common test
blockchain instead of generating a chain in every test. The tests are
roughly twice as fast now.
Updated use of Parallel and added some subtests to help isolate
them. Increased timeout in RequestHeadersByNumber so it
doesn't time out and causes other tests to break.
* ethdb: add Putter interface and Has method
* ethdb: improve docs and add IdealBatchSize
* ethdb: remove memory batch lock
Batches are not safe for concurrent use.
* core: use ethdb.Putter for Write* functions
This covers the easy cases.
* core/state: simplify StateSync
* trie: optimize local node check
* ethdb: add ValueSize to Batch
* core: optimize HasHeader check
This avoids one random database read get the block number. For many uses
of HasHeader, the expectation is that it's actually there. Using Has
avoids a load + decode of the value.
* core: write fast sync block data in batches
Collect writes into batches up to the ideal size instead of issuing many
small, concurrent writes.
* eth/downloader: commit larger state batches
Collect nodes into a batch up to the ideal size instead of committing
whenever a node is received.
* core: optimize HasBlock check
This avoids a random database read to get the number.
* core: use numberCache in HasHeader
numberCache has higher capacity, increasing the odds of finding the
header without a database lookup.
* core: write imported block data using a batch
Restore batch writes of state and add blocks, tx entries, receipts to
the same batch. The change also simplifies the miner.
This commit also removes posting of logs when a forked block is imported.
* core: fix DB write error handling
* ethdb: use RLock for Has
* core: fix HasBlock comment
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).
Reworked the EVM gas instructions to use 64bit integers rather than
arbitrary size big ints. All gas operations, be it additions,
multiplications or divisions, are checked and guarded against 64 bit
integer overflows.
In additon, most of the protocol paramaters in the params package have
been converted to uint64 and are now constants rather than variables.
* common/math: added overflow check ops
* core: vmenv, env renamed to evm
* eth, internal/ethapi, les: unmetered eth_call and cancel methods
* core/vm: implemented big.Int pool for evm instructions
* core/vm: unexported intPool methods & verification methods
* core/vm: added memoryGasCost overflow check and test
