This improves the `peerStore` prototype by e.g.:
* Using a database with Protobuf for persistence, but also keeping full peer set in memory for performance.
* Simplifying the API, by taking/returning struct copies for safety, and removing errors for in-memory operations.
* Caching the ranked peer set, as a temporary solution until a better data structure is implemented.
* Adding `PeerManagerOptions.MaxPeers` and pruning the peer store (based on rank) when it's full.
* Rewriting `PeerAddress` to be independent of `url.URL`, normalizing it and tightening semantics.
@p4u from vocdoni.io reported that the mempool might behave incorrectly under a
high load. The consequences can range from pauses between blocks to the peers
disconnecting from this node.
My current theory is that the flowrate lib we're using to control flow
(multiplex over a single TCP connection) was not designed w/ large blobs
(1MB batch of txs) in mind.
I've tried decreasing the Mempool reactor priority, but that did not
have any visible effect. What actually worked is adding a time.Sleep
into mempool.Reactor#broadcastTxRoutine after an each successful send ==
manual control flow of sort.
As a temporary remedy (until the mempool package
is refactored), the max-batch-bytes was disabled. Transactions will be sent
one by one without batching
Closes#5796
After a reactor has failed to parse an incoming message, it shouldn't output the "bad" data into the logs, as that data is unfiltered and could have anything in it. (We also don't think this information is helpful to have in the logs anyways.)
## Description
This PR wraps the stdlib sync.(RW)Mutex & godeadlock.(RW)Mutex. This enables using go-deadlock via a build flag instead of using sed to replace sync with godeadlock in all files

to prevent malicious nodes from sending us large messages (~21MB, which
is the default `RecvMessageCapacity`)
This allows us to remove unnecessary `maxMsgSize` check in `decodeMsg`. Since each channel has a msg capacity set to `maxMsgSize`, there's no need to check it again in `decodeMsg`.
Closes#1503
Previously, many reactors were initialized with the name "Reactor," which made it difficult to log which reactor was doing what. This changes those reactors' names to something more descriptive.

Refs #3306, irisnet@fdbb676
I ran an irishub validator. After the validator node ran several days, I dump the whole goroutine stack. I found that there were hundreds of broadcastTxRoutine. However, the connected peer quantity was less than 30. So I belive that there must be broadcastTxRoutine leakage issue.
According to my analysis, I think the root cause of this issue locate in below code:
select {
case <-next.NextWaitChan():
// see the start of the for loop for nil check
next = next.Next()
case <-peer.Quit():
return
case <-memR.Quit():
return
}
As we know, if multiple paths are avaliable in the same time, then a random path will be selected. Suppose that next.NextWaitChan() and peer.Quit() are both avaliable, and next.NextWaitChan() is chosen.
// send memTx
msg := &TxMessage{Tx: memTx.tx}
success := peer.Send(MempoolChannel, cdc.MustMarshalBinaryBare(msg))
if !success {
time.Sleep(peerCatchupSleepIntervalMS * time.Millisecond)
continue
}
Then next will be non-empty and the peer send operation won't be success. As a result, this go routine will be track into infinite loop and won't be released.
My proposal is to check peer.Quit() and memR.Quit() in every loop no matter whether next is nil.
Closes#1798
This is done by making every mempool tx maintain a list of peers who its received the tx from. Instead of using the 20byte peer ID, it instead uses a local map from peerID to uint16 counter, so every peer adds 2 bytes. (Word aligned to probably make it 8 bytes)
This also required resetting the callback function on every CheckTx. This likely has performance ramifications for instruction caching. The actual setting operation isn't costly with the removal of defers in this PR.

https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2721#issuecomment-435347165
It's confusing that sometimes we check if peer has a state, but most of
the times we expect it to be there
1. add79700b5/mempool/reactor.go (L138)
2. add79700b5/rpc/core/consensus.go (L196) (edited)
I will change everything to always assume peer has a state and panic
otherwise
that should help identify issues earlier
* abci/localclient: extend lock on app callback
App callback should be protected by lock as well (note this was already
done for InitChainAsync, why not for others???). Otherwise, when we
execute the block, tx might come in and call the callback in the same
time we're updating it in execBlockOnProxyApp => DATA RACE

* consensus: use read lock in Receive#VoteMessage
* use defer to unlock mutex because application might panic
* use defer in every method of the localClient
* add a changelog entry
* drain channels before Unsubscribe(All)
Read 55362ed766/libs/pubsub/pubsub.go (L13)
for the detailed explanation of the issue.
We'll need to fix it someday. Make sure to keep an eye on
https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/docs/architecture/adr-033-pubsub.md
* retry instead of panic when peer has no state in reactors other than consensus
in /dump_consensus_state RPC endpoint, skip a peer with no state
* rpc/core/mempool: simplify error messages
* rpc/core/mempool: use time.After instead of timer
also, do not log DeliverTx result (to be consistent with other memthods)
* unlock before calling the callback in reqRes#SetCallback
* updateToState exits early if the state isn't new, which happens after
* fast syncing. This results in not sending a NewRoundStep message. The mempool
* reactor depends on PeerState, which is updated by NewRoundStep
* messages. If the peer never sends a NewRoundStep, the mempool reactor
* will think they're behind, and never forward transactions. Note this
* only happens when `create_empty_blocks = false`, because otherwise
* peers will move through the consensus state and send a NewRoundStep
* for a new step soon anyways. Simple fix is just to send the
* NewRoundStep message during updateToState even if exit early

```
func waitWithCancel(f func() *clist.CElement, ctx context.Context) *clist.CElement {
el := make(chan *clist.CElement, 1)
select {
case el <- f():
```
will just run f() blockingly, so this doesn't change much in terms of behavior.
Leaking goroutine:
```
114 @ 0x42f2bc 0x42f3ae 0x440794 0x4403b9 0x468002 0x9fe32d 0x9ff78f 0xa025ed 0x45e571
```
Explanation:
it blocks on an empty clist forever. so unless theres txs coming in,
this go routine will just sit there, holding onto the peer too.
if we're constantly reconnecting to some peer, old instances are not
garbage collected, leading to memory leak.
