- Batch filtering invalid transactions (fail to sanitize, too old or already processed) before forwarding
- Combine packet filtering and forwarding to share sanitized transactions
- `iter_desc` is no longer needed, remove it;
- Add a method to share the logic of removing packets from buffer after they were removed from MinMaxHeap
- Add test coverage for forward_packet_batches_by_accounts
- rebase, resolve conflicts
Separate storage for voting and transaction threads:
- Voting threads utilize a shared reference in order to dedup extraneous
votes
- Transactions have thread local storage like before
* Add structure to collect and coalesce vote packets
Will be used in banking stage to throw out extraneous vote packets
before processing
* pr comments
* Update inner lock to arc to improve performance
