The commit implement new ContactInfo where
* Ports and IP addresses are specified separately so that unique IP
addresses can only be specified once.
* Different sockets (tvu, tpu, etc) are specified by opaque u8 tags so
that adding and removing sockets is backward and forward compatible.
* solana_version::Version is also embedded in so that it won't need to
be gossiped separately.
* NodeInstance is also rolled in by adding a field identifying when the
instance was first created so that it won't need to be gossiped
separately.
Update plan:
* Once the cluster is able to ingest the new type (i.e. this patch), a
2nd patch will start gossiping the new ContactInfo along with the
LegacyContactInfo.
* Once all nodes in the cluster gossip the new ContactInfo, a 3rd patch
will start solely using the new ContactInfo while still gossiping the
old LegacyContactInfo.
* Once all nodes in the cluster solely use the new ContactInfo, a 4th
patch will stop gossiping the old LegacyContactInfo.
RwLock seems excessive since only the very 1st call to VoteAccount::vote_state
will write-lock the inner field. Future calls would also incur overhead of an
RwLockReadGuard.
once_cell::sync::OnceCell provides a matching api to the desired functionality.
* support u8 slice in frozen abi digester
* use slice in account struct
* add bpf cargo lock file
* no need to pass account.data to serializer
* fix comments
Gossip and other places repeatedly de-serialize vote-state stored in
vote accounts. Ideally the first de-serialization should cache the
result.
This commit adds new VoteAccount type which lazily de-serializes
VoteState from Account data and caches the result internally.
Serialize and Deserialize traits are manually implemented to match
existing code. So, despite changes to frozen_abi, this commit should be
backward compatible.
