There was a problem hiding this comment.
consider to use .ok().map_or_else here instead of map().unwrap_or_else

A more generic solution proposed by @ngotchac is replaced with a solution that handles only ancient blocks.
The problem with previous solution was that
queue.lock().pop_front()was actually holding the lock for longer then needed and iffunwas trying to use the queue recursively it would deadlock (since parking_lot mutexes are not re-entrant).Avoiding holding the lock would cause race issues and we need to be super sure that old blocks are imported in order by the same thread.
Hence I reverted to the old
IoChannelQueueimplementation and introduced a separateimport_lockfor ancient blocks. We don't lock on the queue to prevent blocking the event loop when adding new items.
