Originally, contracts had the ability to dispatch calls into the runtime. However, without any mechanism to control which calls are allowed to be dispatched it was viewed as an attack vector and was removed.
With the introduction of origin filtering we can now re-introduce this functionality as
seal_call_runtime. The users of this pallet are required to setpallet_contracts::Config::CallFilterin order to determine which runtime calls are allowed to be called from contracts. A sane default is not to allow any calls here as doing so requires committing to some stability guarantees (see inline docs).In order to support post dispatch weight correction we need to pre-charge the static weight of a runtime call and adjust post dispatch. However, we recently abolished pre-charging because it introduced a bug where the returned
gas_consumedcan be an unsuitable value forgas_limitof an subsequent call. To solve this issue this PR also introduces the concept of arequired_weightwhich is different from theconsumed_weightand is returned in addition to the existingconsumed_weightwhen using the RPC so that the UI can display a proper gas estimation.@jacogr @Robbepop UIs should switch from
consumed_weighttorequired_weightfor gas estimation.Please note that this does not obsolete chain extensions. You can do more with chain extensions. Please see the inline docs for more information.
As always new APIs are marked as
__unstable__until they are implemented in ink! and we are certain that we do not need further iterations.Removing the
Filterimplementation on()Most of the code churn stems from a change that removes the
Filterimplementation on(). It is replaced by explicitAllowAllFilterandDenyAllFiltertypes. This is also why we need a companion.polkadot companion: paritytech/polkadot#3420
