Nice find! 👍 Since we used the wrong hash when building the subchain the caching wouldn't work properly and we'd have to rebuild the subchain on every block.

Amazing!

So that limits the iterator, can you elaborate a little bit why it's valid to do so?

I discussed this with @ngotchac. Aura only used to track finality for safely triggering validator set changes, therefore we were only interested in finalizing blocks within the current epoch, so this take_while
was the original behavior. Recently we added finality tracking to the client so we updated Aura to track finality until the last finalized block. On chains where there isn't a majority of validators online the unfinalized subchain just keeps growing and this can take some time to build (although if the subchain is properly cached this cost is avoided).
#9692 is in beta, so should we backport this PR to beta as well? |
@ordian yes we should 👍 |

The
block
passed toself.engine.ancestry_actions
didn't have all the Header's data, thus theblock.header.hash()
was wrong, and the conditionfinality_checker.subchain_head() != Some(*chain_head.parent_hash())
inAuthorityRound::build_finality
would never befalse
, so we would check all ancestry for every imported blocks, until a finalised one was to be found. This was very costly in same cases, eg. when first syncing the chain: on currentmaster
I would sync at 50 blocks/s, with this PR (as on stable) it goes at about 1_000 blocks/s.
