Detailed Description

Provides an interface for creating and interacting with one or two chainstates: an IBD chainstate generated by downloading blocks, and an optional snapshot chainstate loaded from a UTXO snapshot.

Managed chainstates can be maintained at different heights simultaneously.

This class provides abstractions that allow the retrieval of the current most-work chainstate ("Active") as well as chainstates which may be in background use to validate UTXO snapshots.

Definitions:

IBD chainstate: a chainstate whose current state has been "fully" validated by the initial block download process.

Snapshot chainstate: a chainstate populated by loading in an assumeutxo UTXO snapshot.

Active chainstate: the chainstate containing the current most-work chain. Consulted by most parts of the system (net_processing, wallet) as a reflection of the current chain and UTXO set. This may either be an IBD chainstate or a snapshot chainstate.

Background IBD chainstate: an IBD chainstate for which the IBD process is happening in the background while use of the active (snapshot) chainstate allows the rest of the system to function.

◆ AcceptBlock()

bool ChainstateManager::AcceptBlock	(	const std::shared_ptr< const CBlock > &	pblock,
		BlockValidationState &	state,
		CBlockIndex **	ppindex,
		bool	fRequested,
		const FlatFilePos *	dbp,
		bool *	fNewBlock,
		bool	min_pow_checked
	)

Sufficiently validate a block for disk storage (and store on disk).

Store block on disk.

Parameters

[in]	pblock	The block we want to process.
[in]	fRequested	Whether we requested this block from a peer.
[in]	dbp	The location on disk, if we are importing this block from prior storage.
[in]	min_pow_checked	True if proof-of-work anti-DoS checks have been done by caller for headers chain
[out]	state	The state of the block validation.
[out]	ppindex	Optional return parameter to get the CBlockIndex pointer for this block.
[out]	fNewBlock	Optional return parameter to indicate if the block is new to our storage.

Returns: False if the block or header is invalid, or if saving to disk fails (likely a fatal error); true otherwise.

If dbp is non-nullptr, the file is known to already reside on disk

bool ChainstateManager::AcceptBlockHeader	(	const CBlockHeader &	block,
		BlockValidationState &	state,

	)

private

If a block header hasn't already been seen, call CheckBlockHeader on it, ensure that it doesn't descend from an invalid block, and then add it to m_block_index.

Caller must set min_pow_checked=true in order to add a new header to the block index (permanent memory storage), indicating that the header is known to be part of a sufficiently high-work chain (anti-dos check).

	)

Construct and activate a Chainstate on the basis of UTXO snapshot data.

Steps:

Initialize an unused Chainstate.
Load its CoinsViews contents from coins_file.
Verify that the hash of the resulting coinsdb matches the expected hash per assumeutxo chain parameters.
Wait for our headers chain to include the base block of the snapshot.
"Fast forward" the tip of the new chainstate to the base of the snapshot.
Move the new chainstate to m_snapshot_chainstate and make it our ChainstateActive().

◆ GUARDED_BY() [1/20]

std::unique_ptr< Chainstate > m_ibd_chainstate ChainstateManager::GUARDED_BY ( ::cs_main )

private

The chainstate used under normal operation (i.e.

"regular" IBD) or, if a snapshot is in use, for background validation.

Its contents (including on-disk data) will be deleted upon shutdown after background validation of the snapshot has completed. We do not free the chainstate contents immediately after it finishes validation to cautiously avoid a case where some other part of the system is still using this pointer (e.g. net_processing).

Once this pointer is set to a corresponding chainstate, it will not be reset until init.cpp:Shutdown().

It is important for the pointer to not be deleted until shutdown, because cs_main is not always held when the pointer is accessed, for example when calling ActivateBestChain, so there's no way you could prevent code from using the pointer while deleting it.

◆ GUARDED_BY() [2/20]

std::unique_ptr< Chainstate > m_snapshot_chainstate ChainstateManager::GUARDED_BY ( ::cs_main )

private

A chainstate initialized on the basis of a UTXO snapshot.

If this is non-null, it is always our active chainstate.

Once this pointer is set to a corresponding chainstate, it will not be reset until init.cpp:Shutdown().

It is important for the pointer to not be deleted until shutdown, because cs_main is not always held when the pointer is accessed, for example when calling ActivateBestChain, so there's no way you could prevent code from using the pointer while deleting it.

Blocks loaded from disk are assigned id 0, so start the counter at 1.

◆ GUARDED_BY() [6/20]

Best header we've seen so far for which the block is not known to be invalid (used, among others, for getheaders queries' starting points).

In case of multiple best headers with the same work, it could point to any because CBlockIndexWorkComparator tiebreaker rules are not applied.

◆ LoadExternalBlockFile()

void ChainstateManager::LoadExternalBlockFile	(	AutoFile &	file_in,
		FlatFilePos *	dbp = `nullptr`,
		std::multimap< uint256, FlatFilePos > *	blocks_with_unknown_parent = `nullptr`
	)

Import blocks from an external file.

During reindexing, this function is called for each block file (datadir/blocks/blk?????.dat). It reads all blocks contained in the given file and attempts to process them (add them to the block index). The blocks may be out of order within each file and across files. Often this function reads a block but finds that its parent hasn't been read yet, so the block can't be processed yet. The function will add an entry to the blocks_with_unknown_parent map (which is passed as an argument), so that when the block's parent is later read and processed, this function can re-read the child block from disk and process it.

Because a block's parent may be in a later file, not just later in the same file, the blocks_with_unknown_parent map must be passed in and out with each call. It's a multimap, rather than just a map, because multiple blocks may have the same parent (when chain splits or stale blocks exist). It maps from parent-hash to child-disk-position.

This function can also be used to read blocks from user-specified block files using the -loadblock= option. There's no unknown-parent tracking, so the last two arguments are omitted.

Parameters

[in]	file_in	File containing blocks to read
[in]	dbp	(optional) Disk block position (only for reindex)
[in,out]	blocks_with_unknown_parent	(optional) Map of disk positions for blocks with unknown parent, key is parent block hash (only used for reindex)

De-serialization of a snapshot that is created with the dumptxoutset RPC. To reduce space the serialization format of the snapshot avoids duplication of tx hashes. The code takes advantage of the guarantee by leveldb that keys are lexicographically sorted.

bool ChainstateManager::ProcessNewBlock	(	const std::shared_ptr< const CBlock > &	block,
		bool	force_processing,
		bool	min_pow_checked,
		bool *	new_block
	)

Process an incoming block.

This only returns after the best known valid block is made active. Note that it does not, however, guarantee that the specific block passed to it has been checked for validity!

If you want to possibly get feedback on whether block is valid, you must install a CValidationInterface (see validationinterface.h) - this will have its BlockChecked method called whenever any block completes validation.

Note that we guarantee that either the proof-of-work is valid on block, or (and possibly also) BlockChecked will have been called.

May not be called in a validationinterface callback.

Parameters

[in]	block	The block we want to process.
[in]	force_processing	Process this block even if unrequested; used for non-network block sources.
[in]	min_pow_checked	True if proof-of-work anti-DoS checks have been done by caller for headers chain (note: only affects headers acceptance; if block header is already present in block index then this parameter has no effect)
[out]	new_block	A boolean which is set to indicate if the block was first received via this call

Returns: If the block was processed, independently of block validity

		bool	min_pow_checked,
		BlockValidationState &	state,
		const CBlockIndex **	ppindex = `nullptr`
	)

Process incoming block headers.

May not be called in a validationinterface callback.

Parameters

[in]	headers	The block headers themselves
[in]	min_pow_checked	True if proof-of-work anti-DoS checks have been done by caller for headers chain
[out]	state	This may be set to an Error state if any error occurred processing them
[out]	ppindex	If set, the pointer will be set to point to the last new block index object for the given headers

Returns: false if AcceptBlockHeader fails on any of the headers, true otherwise (including if headers were already known)

◆ ActiveChainstate

Chainstate & ChainstateManager::ActiveChainstate

Once the background validation chainstate has reached the height which is the base of the UTXO snapshot in use, compare its coins to ensure they match those expected by the snapshot.

If the coins match (expected), then mark the validation chainstate for deletion and continue using the snapshot chainstate as active. Otherwise, revert to using the ibd chainstate and shutdown. Returns nullptr if no snapshot has been loaded. The most-work chain.

◆ Chainstate

friend ChainstateManager::Chainstate

private

Definition at line 948 of file validation.h.

◆ GetAll

std::vector< Chainstate * > ChainstateManager::GetAll

Instantiate a new chainstate.

Parameters

[in] mempool The mempool to pass to the chainstate Get all chainstates currently being used.

inline

When starting up, search the datadir for a chainstate based on a UTXO snapshot that is in the process of being validated.

Remove the snapshot-based chainstate and all on-disk artifacts. Used when reindex{-chainstate} is called during snapshot use. Switch the active chainstate to one based on a UTXO snapshot that was loaded previously. If we have validated a snapshot chain during this runtime, copy its chainstate directory over to the main chainstate location, completing validation of the snapshot.

If the cleanup succeeds, the caller will need to ensure chainstates are reinitialized, since ResetChainstates() will be called before leveldb directories are moved or deleted.

See also: node/chainstate:LoadChainstate()

Returns: the chainstate that indexes should consult when ensuring that an index is synced with a chain where we can expect block index entries to have BLOCK_HAVE_DATA beneath the tip.

In other words, give us the chainstate for which we can reasonably expect that all blocks beneath the tip have been indexed. In practice this means when using an assumed-valid chainstate based upon a snapshot, return only the fully validated chain. Return the [start, end] (inclusive) of block heights we can prune.

start > end is possible, meaning no blocks can be pruned. Return the height of the base block of the snapshot in use, if one exists, else nullopt. If, due to invalidation / reconsideration of blocks, the previous best header is no longer valid / guaranteed to be the most-work header in our block-index not known to be invalid, recalculate it.

◆ m_blockman

node::BlockManager ChainstateManager::m_blockman

A single BlockManager instance is shared across each constructed chainstate to avoid duplicating block metadata.

◆ m_cached_finished_ibd

std::atomic<bool> ChainstateManager::m_cached_finished_ibd {false}

mutable

Whether initial block download has ended and IsInitialBlockDownload should return false from now on.

Mutable because we need to be able to mark IsInitialBlockDownload() const, which latches this for caching purposes.
