Implement caching for service transactions checker #10088

VladLupashevskyi · 2018-12-19T23:30:41Z

In cases when certain address is allowed for executing free transactions it makes sense in my opinion to submit transactions which are automatically submitted by the client (such as validators reporting etc) with the gas price set to zero.

Here I propose my code improvement to achieve this by adding check for free tx certification in transact_contract fn which is called while doing validators reporting and other actions.

Looking forward for the feedback :)

The idea looks reasonable I'm only concerned with circular call to state - we should make sure that all the calls are not vulnerable to deadlocks or some data races now.
(and obv the implementation needs some improvements)

 		let transaction = Transaction {
 			nonce: self.latest_nonce(&authoring_params.author),
 			action: Action::Call(address),
-			gas: self.importer.miner.sensible_gas_limit(),
+			gas: gas_price,


I think you meant to change gas_price not gas.

address is contract address you try to call, not the sender (which should be checked here).

@tomusdrw I pushed the fixes and sorry for these typos.

I am not sure what kind of deadlocks or data races could occur because free tx permission is checked for the latest mined block and not for the pending one. What I can think of is that issues could occur if we would call transact_contract inside of check_address function, but calling state modifying function inside state checking one does not make sense for me.

Maybe I am missing something, so I would be happy to get more feedback and dig into solving it :)

+		let contract_address = client.registry_address(SERVICE_TRANSACTION_CONTRACT_REGISTRY_NAME.to_owned(), BlockId::Latest)


Would the performance be a concern here? registry_address would need to query the state if registrar is set.

I don't think that an issue, some cache would be nice (best would be if previously queried registry entries would be refreshed after a block is imported), but the code is not super hot (only in \.transact which is called by the engine, or by the miner, called only for zero-gas-price transactions attempting to enter the pool).

VladLupashevskyi · 2019-01-21T19:24:59Z

I added a cache for certified addresses and provided logic as @tomusdrw described.

This is first time I'm working with caching so there is definitely something to improve and I'm always happy to get a feedback :)

VladLupashevskyi · 2019-02-05T15:20:18Z

@tomusdrw I think idea with moving ServiceTxChecker to one place sounds reasonable! I would create a public method to get the checker instance from miner, so it's done more generic than just exposing a check method.
So I'm gonna dig into this and will notify about the results!

@tomusdrw I updated the code according to the comments, now it looks much cleaner! I'm thinking it would be nice to introduce some cache limiting, I would propose to use the solution I introduced in another PR for NodeFilter:

https://github.com/paritytech/parity-ethereum/blob/2202646acefc04e4a26c6fed3952728f0c355762/ethcore/node-filter/src/lib.rs#L107

where basically I used Vec in order to store sequence of recent calls to the contract and remove the oldest ones when cache hits limit.

What do you think about it?

Do we need Clone?

We need Clone in order to share ServiceTransactionChecker with Client and PoolClient.

.as_ref() seems redundant, also missing space before {

I cannot do this without .as_ref() since the c doesn't live long enough in this case. I tried to do it with .map, but in this case Option<Option<&bool>> is returned, so one more check is needed. Not sure what would be better solution here.
