The clippy unknown lints attribute was deprecated in
nightly in rust-lang/rust#80524. The old lint name now produces a
warning.
Since we're using `allow(unknown_lints)` to suppress warnings, we need to
add the canonical name, so we can continue to build without warnings on
nightly.
But we also need to keep the old name, so we can continue to build
without warnings on stable.
And therefore, we also need to disable the "removed lints" warning,
otherwise we'll get warnings about the old name on nightly.
We'll need to keep this transitional clippy config until rustc 1.51 is
stable.
We can't rule out the connection state changing between the state checks
and any eventual failures, particularly in the presence of async code.
So we turn this panic into a warning.
zebra-network's Connection expects that `fail_with` is only called once
per connection, but the overload handling code continues to process the
current request after an overload error, potentially leading to further
failures.
Closes#1599
## Motivation
This PR is motivated by the regression identified in https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/issues/1349. That PR notes that the metrics stopped working for most of the crates other than `zebrad`.
## Solution
This PR resolves the regression by deduplicating the `metrics` crate dependency. During a recent change we upgraded the metrics version in `zebrad` and a couple other of our crates, but we never updated the dependencies in `zebra-state`, `zebra-consensus`, or `zebra-network`. This caused the metrics macros to attempt to retrieve the current metrics exporter through the wrong function. We would install the metrics exporter in `0.13`, but then attempt to look it up through the `0.12` crate, which contains a different instance of the metrics exporter static variable which is unset. Doing this causes the metrics macros to return `None` for the current exporter after which they just silently give up.
## Related Issues

## Follow Up Work
I noticed we have quite a few duplicate dependencies in our tree. We might be able to save some compilation time by auditing those and deduplicating them as much as possible.

The `peer::Client` translates `Request`s into `ClientRequest`s, which
it sends to a background task. If the send is `Ok(())`, it will assume
that it is safe to unconditionally poll the `Receiver` tied to the
`Sender` used to create the `ClientRequest`.
We enforce this invariant via the type system, by converting
`ClientRequest`s to `InProgressClientRequest`s when they are received by
the background task. These conversions are implemented by
`ClientRequestReceiver`.
Changes:
* Revert `ClientRequest` so it uses a `oneshot::Sender`
* Add `InProgressClientRequest`, which is the same as `ClientRequest`,
but has a `MustUseOneshotSender`
* `impl From<ClientRequest> for InProgressClientRequest`
* Add a new `ClientRequestReceiver` type that wraps a
`mpsc::Receiver<ClientRequest>`
* `impl Stream<InProgressClientRequest> for ClientRequestReceiver`,
converting the successful result of `inner.poll_next_unpin` into an
`InProgressClientRequest`
* Replace `client_rx: mpsc::Receiver<ClientRequest>` in `Connection`
with the new `ClientRequestReceiver` type
* `impl From<mpsc::Receiver<ClientRequest>> for ClientRequestReceiver`
This fix also changes heartbeat behaviour in the following ways:
* if the queue is full, the connection is closed. Previously, the sender
would wait until the queue had emptied
* if the queue flush fails, Zebra panics, because it can't send an error
on the ClientRequest sender, so the invariant is broken
Add a MustUseOneshotSender, which panics if its inner sender is unused.
Callers must call `send()` on the MustUseOneshotSender, or ensure that
the sender is canceled.
Replaces an unreliable panic in `Client::call()` with a reliable panic
when a must-use sender is dropped.
Previously, tx would be dropped before send if:
- the success case would have used tx to wait for further messages,
- but the response was actually an error.
Instead, send the error on `tx` and call `fail_with()` using the same
error.
To support this change, allow `fail_with()` to take a `PeerError` or a
`SharedPeerError`.
* Rewrite GetData handling to match the zcashd implementation
`zcashd` silently ignores missing blocks, but sends found transactions
followed by a `NotFound` message:
e7b425298f/src/main.cpp (L5497)
This is significantly different to the behaviour expected by the old
Zebra connection state machine, which expected `NotFound` for blocks.
Also change Zebra's GetData responses to peer request so they ignore
missing blocks.
* Stop hanging on incomplete transaction or block responses
Instead, if the peer sends an unexpected block, unexpected transaction,
or NotFound message:
1. end the request, and return a partial response containing any items
that were successfully received
2. if none of the expected blocks or transactions were received, return
an error, and close the connection
Previously we set the crate versions to 3.x, so that the major version was
aligned with the NU version. But we want to be able to make API changes
independently of the NU schedule.
We modeled a Bitcoin `headers` message as being a list of block headers.
However, the actual data structure is slightly different: it's a list of (block
header, transaction count) pairs. This caused zcashd to reject our headers
messages.
To fix this, introduce a new `CountedHeader` struct with a `block::Header` and
transaction count `usize`, then thread it through the inbound service and the
state.
I tested this locally by running Zebra with these changes and inspecting a
trace-level log of the span of a peer connection that requested a nontrivial
headers packet from us, and verified that it did not reject our message.
The cancellation implementation changes made to the connection state machine
mean that if a response oneshot is dropped, the connection will avoid
cancelling the request. So the heartbeat task does have to wait on the response.
Not all reject messages include a data field. This change partially addresses
a problem that could lead to a depleted peer set:
1. We send a response to a `getheaders` message;
2. The remote peer `reject`s our `headers` message for some reason;
3. We fail to parse their `reject` message and close the connection;
4. Repeating this process, we have no more peers.
This commit fixes (3) but does not address (2).
This makes the span data more compact (e.g., `msg_as_req{msg=block}`) and
restores the Debug impl for Message to show all of the data contained in the
message. The full message is added as a single event at trace level in the
span to preserve the previous full-inspectability.
As we approach our alpha release we've decided we want to plan ahead for the user bug reports we will eventually receive. One of the bigger issues we foresee is determining exactly what version of the software users are running, and particularly how easy it may or may not be for users to accidentally discard this information when reporting bugs.
To defend against this, we've decided to include the exact git sha for any given build in the compiled artifact. This information will then be re-exported as a span early in the application startup process, so that all logs and error messages should include the sha as their very first span. We've also added this sha as issue metadata for `color-eyre`'s github issue url auto generation feature, which should make sure that the sha is easily available in bug reports we receive, even in the absence of logs.

Closes#1183.
The peer set maintains a preselected ready service that it can use to
perform power-of-two-choices (p2c) routing of requests. Ready services
are stored by key (socket address) in an `IndexMap`, and the preselected
service is represented by an `Option<usize>` indexing that map. This
means that whenever the set of ready services changes (e.g., a service
is removed from the peer set, or a service is taken to be used to
process a request), the preselected index is invalidated. The original
P2C-only implementation maintained this invariant but did not document
it.
The change to inventory-based routing introduced a bug by failing to
maintain this invariant and appropriately invalidate the preselected
index. However, this was only noticeable approximately 1/N of the time
on the next request after an inventory-directed request, so the bug
occurred infrequently. Luckily, the use of `.expect` caused the bug to
be an immediate panic, making it possible to identify by inspecting all
uses of the ready service map.
This change is mostly mechanical, with the exception of the changes to the
`tower-batch` middleware. This middleware was adapted from `tower::buffer`,
and the `tower::buffer` code was changed to implement its own bounded queue,
because Tokio 0.3 removed the `mpsc::Sender::poll_send` method. See
ddc64e8d4d
for more context on the Tower changes. To match Tower as closely as possible
in order to be able to upstream `tower-batch`, those changes are copied from
`tower::Buffer` to `tower-batch`.
Per https://zips.z.cash/zip-0251, nodes compatible with Canopy
activation on mainnet MUST advertise protocol version 170013 or later.
Once Canopy activates on testnet or mainnet, Canopy nodes SHOULD reject
new connections from pre-Canopy nodes, so this also increases the
minimum version.
This change explicitly documents cancellation contracts for our Tower services,
and tries to correct a bug in the implementation of the CheckpointVerifier,
which duplicates information from the state service but did not ensure that it
would be kept in sync.
These messages might be unsolicited, or they might be a response to a
request we already canceled. So don't fail the whole connection, just
drop the message and move on.
We handle request cancellation in two places: before we transition into
the AwaitingResponse state, and while we are in AwaitingResponse. We
need both places, or else if we started processing a request, we
wouldn't process the cancellation until the timeout elapsed.
The first is a check that the oneshot is not already canceled.
For the second, we wait on a cancellation, either from a timeout or from
the tx channel closing.
This addresses at least three pain points:
- we were affected by bugs that were already fixed in git, but not in
the released crate;
- we can use service combinators to transform requests and responses;
- we can use the hedge middleware.
The version in git is still marked as 0.3.1 but these changes will be
part of tower 0.4: https://github.com/tower-rs/tower/issues/431
The GetPeers requests sent while crawling the network are randomly
load-balanced over available peers. But at the very beginning, they may
be both routed to the same peer, causing network initialization to be
delayed while the second one times out (since zcashd only ever responds
to the first addr message).
Only sending one GetPeers request per candidate set update means we
crawl the network a little more slowly, but avoids hanging on start.
This cleans up the response processing logic a little bit along the way,
but the overall division of responsibility should be better documented
in a future commit.
This lets us distinguish between cases where the message was unsupported
(e.g., BIP11 messages), and cases where the message was uninterpretable
in context (e.g., unsolicited messages).
> Added a test that the handshake's version message matches specified fields, but the test does not compile, because rustc doesn't believe that the Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static> is 'static, and therefore isn't a Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>. This manifests as being unable to spawn the connect_isolated task. From digging through Tokio issues I believe that this is an instance of rust-lang/rust#64552 .

The peer set provides an automatically managed connection pool, abstracting
away all the details of handling individual peer connections. However, it's
also useful to be able to create completely isolated and
minimally-distinguishable connections to individual peers, in order to be able
to send specific messages over Tor, or to implement some custom network crawler
logic.

This commit makes several related changes to the network code:
- adds a `TransactionsByHash(HashSet<transaction::Hash>)` request and
`Transactions(Vec<Arc<Transaction>>)` response pair that allows
fetching transactions from a remote peer;
- adds a `PushTransaction(Arc<Transaction>)` request that pushes an
unsolicited transaction to a remote peer;
- adds an `AdvertiseTransactions(HashSet<transaction::Hash>)` request
that advertises transactions by hash to a remote peer;
- adds an `AdvertiseBlock(block::Hash)` request that advertises a block
by hash to a remote peer;
Then, it modifies the connection state machine so that outbound
requests to remote peers are handled properly:
- `TransactionsByHash` generates a `getdata` message and collects the
results, like the existing `BlocksByHash` request.
- `PushTransaction` generates a `tx` message, and returns `Nil` immediately.
- `AdvertiseTransactions` and `AdvertiseBlock` generate an `inv`
message, and return `Nil` immediately.
Next, it modifies the connection state machine so that messages
from remote peers generate requests to the inbound service:
- `getdata` messages generate `BlocksByHash` or `TransactionsByHash`
requests, depending on the content of the message;
- `tx` messages generate `PushTransaction` requests;
- `inv` messages generate `AdvertiseBlock` or `AdvertiseTransactions`
requests.
Finally, it refactors the request routing logic for the peer set to
handle advertisement messages, providing three routing methods:
- `route_p2c`, which uses p2c as normal (default);
- `route_inv`, which uses the inventory registry and falls back to p2c
(used for `BlocksByHash` or `TransactionsByHash`);
- `route_all`, which broadcasts a request to all ready peers (used for
`AdvertiseBlock` and `AdvertiseTransactions`).
* network: fix bug in inventory advertisement handling
The RFC https://zebra.zfnd.org/dev/rfcs/0003-inventory-tracking.html described
the use of a `broadcast` channel in place of an `mpsc` channel to get
ring-buffer behavior, keeping a bound on the size of the channel but dropping
old entries when the channel is full.
However, it didn't explicitly describe how this works (the `broadcast` channel
returns a `RecvError::Lagged(u64)` to inform receivers that they lost
messages), so the lag-handling wasn't implemented and I didn't notice in
review.
Instead, the ? operator bubbled the lag error all the way up from
`InventoryRegistry::poll_inventory` through `<PeerSet as Service>::poll_ready`
through various Tower wrappers to users of the peer set. The error propagation
is bad enough, because it caused client errors that shouldn't have happened,
but there's a worse interaction.
The `Service` contract distinguishes between request errors (from
`Service::call`, scoped to the request) and service errors (from
`Service::poll_ready`, scoped to the service). The `Service` contract
specifies that once a service returns an error from `poll_ready`, the service
can be assumed to be failed permanently.
I believe (but haven't tested or carefully worked through the details) that
this caused various tower middleware to report the entire peer set service as
permanently failed due to a transient inventory "error" (more of an indicator),
and I suspect that this is the cause of #1003, where all of the sync
component's requests end up failing because the peer set reported that it
failed permanently. I am able to reproduce #1003 locally before this change
and unable to reproduce it locally after this change, though I have not tested
exhaustively.

The relay flag in the version message is used in conjunction with BIP37 to
receive bloom-filtered transactions. When it is set to false, transactions are
not relayed until a bloom filter is set. Since we don't implement BIP37 (it's
not useful for shielded transactions), this means we'll never receive
transactions.
