This pull request fixes a flaw in ethstats which can lead to node crash
A panic could happens when the local blockchain is reorging which causes the original head block not to be reachable (since number->hash canonical mapping is deleted). In order to prevent the panic, the block nilness is now checked in ethstats.
This change simplifies the logic for indexing transactions and enhances the UX when transaction is not found by returning more information to users.
Transaction indexing is now considered as a part of the initial sync, and `eth.syncing` will thus be `true` if transaction indexing is not yet finished. API consumers can use the syncing status to determine if the node is ready to serve users.
* cmd, les, tests: remove light client code
This commit removes the light client (LES) code.
Since the merge the light client has been broken and
it is hard to maintain it alongside the normal client.
We decided it would be best to remove it for now and
maybe rework and reintroduce it in the future.
* cmd, eth: remove some more mentions of light mode
* cmd: re-add flags and mark as deprecated
* cmd: warn the user about deprecated flags
* eth: better error message
Fixes a bug where the ethstats omits to report full block contents. This bug was a side-effect of https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/26777, where `CurrentBlock` was changed to return a header instead of a block, leading to a failed type assertion.
This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
Fixes the case (example below) where the value passed
to --ethstats flag would be parsed wrongly because the
node name and/or password value contained the special
characters '@' or ':'
--ethstats "ETC Labs Metrics @meowsbits":mypass@ws://mordor.dash.fault.dev:3000
This fixes an issue where the ethstats service could crash if geth was
started and then immediately stopped due to an internal error. The
cause of the crash was a nil subscription being returned by the backend,
because the background goroutine creating them was scheduled after
the backend had already shut down.
Moving the creation of subscriptions into the Start method, which runs
synchronously during startup of the node, means the returned subscriptions
can never be 'nil'.

This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.

This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.
* rpc: implement websockets with github.com/gorilla/websocket
This change makes package rpc use the github.com/gorilla/websocket
package for WebSockets instead of golang.org/x/net/websocket. The new
library is more robust and supports all WebSocket features including
continuation frames.
There are new tests for two issues with the previously-used library:
- TestWebsocketClientPing checks handling of Ping frames.
- TestWebsocketLargeCall checks whether the request size limit is
applied correctly.
* rpc: raise HTTP/WebSocket request size limit to 5MB
* rpc: remove default origin for client connections
The client used to put the local hostname into the Origin header because
the server wanted an origin to accept the connection, but that's silly:
Origin is for browsers/websites. The nobody would whitelist a particular
hostname.
Now that the server doesn't need Origin anymore, don't bother setting
one for clients. Users who need an origin can use DialWebsocket to
create a client with arbitrary origin if needed.
* vendor: put golang.org/x/net/websocket back
* rpc: don't set Origin header for empty (default) origin
* rpc: add HTTP status code to handshake error
This makes it easier to debug failing connections.
* ethstats: use github.com/gorilla/websocket
* rpc: fix lint
This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
