Shreds arriving at tvu/tvu_forward/repair sockets are each processed in
a separate thread, and since each thread has its own deduper, the
duplicates across these sockets are not filtered out.
Using a common deduper across these threads will require an RwLock
wrapper and may introduce lock contention.
The commit instead moves the shred-deduper to shred-sigverify-stage
where all these shreds arrive through the same channel.
If turbine_disabled is true, the commit discards turbine packets
earlier in the pipeline so that they won't interfere with the deduper
and the packets can get through once turbine is enabled again.
This is a prerequisite of:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/30786
so that local-cluster tests pass.
Tenets:
1. Limit thread names to 15 characters
2. Prefix all Solana-controlled threads with "sol"
3. Use Camel case. It's more character dense than Snake or Kebab case
Shreds have different workload and traffic pattern from TPU vote and
transaction packets. Some of recent changes to SigVerifyStage are not
suitable or at least optimal for shreds sig-verify; e.g. random discard,
dedup with false positives, discard excess by IP-address, ...
SigVerifier trait is meant to abstract out the distinctions between the
two pipelines, but in practice it has led to more verbose and convoluted
code.
This commit discards SigVerifier implementation for shreds sig-verify
and instead provides a standalone stage for verifying shreds signatures.
With recent patches, window-service recv-window does not do much other
than redirecting packets/shreds to downstream channels.
The commit removes window-service recv-window and instead sends
packets/shreds directly from sigverify to retransmit-stage and
window-service insert thread.
Shreds are dropped in window-service if the slot leader is the node
itself:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/cd2878acf/core/src/window_service.rs#L181-L185
However this is done after wasting resources verifying signature on
these shreds, and requires a redundant 2nd lookup of the slot leader.
This commit instead discards such shreds in sigverify stage where we
already know the leader for the slot.
Shred versions are not verified until window-service where resources are
already wasted to sig-verify and deserialize shreds.
The commit verifies shred-version earlier in the pipeline in fetch stage.
Bytes past Packet.meta.size are not valid to read from.
The commit makes the buffer field private and instead provides two
methods:
* Packet::data() which returns an immutable reference to the underlying
buffer up to Packet.meta.size. The rest of the buffer is not valid to
read from.
* Packet::buffer_mut() which returns a mutable reference to the entirety
of the underlying buffer to write into. The caller is responsible to
update Packet.meta.size after writing to the buffer.
Upcoming changes to PacketBatch to support variable sized packets will
modify the internals of PacketBatch. So, this change removes usage of
the internal packet struct and instead uses accessors (which are
currently just wrappers of Vector functions but will change down the
road).
* Upgrade Rust to 1.52.0
update nightly_version to newly pushed docker image
fix clippy lint errors
1.52 comes with grcov 0.8.0, include this version to script
* upgrade to Rust 1.52.1
* disabling Serum from downstream projects until it is upgraded to Rust 1.52.1
