Pending logs are now filterable through the Go API. Filter API changed
such that each filter type has it's own bucket and adding filter
explicitly requires you specify the bucket to put it in.
This PR fixes a regression of the RPC where the default gas price that
was being used for transaction wasn't properly using the GPO. This PR
adds the GPO back to suggest gas prices rather than the hardcoded
default of 10000000000000.
Closes#2194
Out of Bound log events are events that were removed due to a fork. When
logs are received the filtering mechanism should check for the `removed`
field on the json structure.
The test chain generated by makeChainFork included invalid uncle
headers, crashing the generator during the state commit.
The headers were invalid because they used the iteration counter as the
block number, even though makeChainFork uses a block with number > 0 as
the parent. Fix this by introducing BlockGen.Number, which allows
accessing the actual number of the block being generated.
State and receipt deliveries from a previous eth/62+ sync can hang if
the downloader has moved on to syncing with eth/61. Fix this by also
draining the eth/63 channels while waiting for eth/61 data.
A nicer solution would be to take care of the channels in a central
place, but that would involve a major rewrite.
Unexpected deliveries could block indefinitely if they arrived at the
right time. The fix is to ensure that the cancellation channel is
always closed when the sync ends, unblocking any deliveries. Also remove
the atomic check for whether a sync is currently running because it
doesn't help and can be misleading.
Cancelling always seems to break the tests though. The downloader
spawned d.process whenever new data arrived, making it somewhat hard to
track when block processing was actually done. Fix this by running
d.process in a dedicated goroutine that is tied to the lifecycle of the
sync. d.process gets notified of new work by the queue instead of being
invoked all the time. This removes a ton of weird workaround code,
including a hairy use of atomic CAS.
This removes the burden on a single object to take care of all
validation and state processing. Now instead the validation is done by
the `core.BlockValidator` (`types.Validator`) that takes care of both
header and uncle validation through the `ValidateBlock` method and state
validation through the `ValidateState` method. The state processing is
done by a new object `core.StateProcessor` (`types.Processor`) and
accepts a new state as input and uses that to process the given block's
transactions (and uncles for rewords) to calculate the state root for
the next block (P_n + 1).
There are a bunch of changes required to make this work:
- in miner: allow unregistering agents, fix RemoteAgent.Stop
- in eth/filters: make FilterSystem.Stop not crash
- in rpc/comms: move listen loop to platform-independent code
Fixes#1930. I ran the shell loop there for a few minutes and didn't see
any changes in the memory profile.
