From c6bb201a07d84e195be901acda2fcd0b886bf66f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Winget Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:03:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Transaction pool documentation (and some cleanup) tx_pool.h doxygen documentation completed. Many notes made on areas for improvement, be that functionality or code clarity. Commented code and unused code removed. --- src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.cpp | 30 ++- src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.h | 418 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 373 insertions(+), 75 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.cpp b/src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.cpp index 5d67acdd2..183c39d9c 100644 --- a/src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.cpp +++ b/src/cryptonote_core/tx_pool.cpp @@ -54,6 +54,9 @@ namespace cryptonote { namespace { + //FIXME: constants such as these should at least be in the header, + // but probably somewhere more accessible to the rest of the + // codebase. size_t const TRANSACTION_SIZE_LIMIT_V1 = (((CRYPTONOTE_BLOCK_GRANTED_FULL_REWARD_ZONE_V1 * 125) / 100) - CRYPTONOTE_COINBASE_BLOB_RESERVED_SIZE); size_t const TRANSACTION_SIZE_LIMIT_V2 = (((CRYPTONOTE_BLOCK_GRANTED_FULL_REWARD_ZONE_V2 * 125) / 100) - CRYPTONOTE_COINBASE_BLOB_RESERVED_SIZE); time_t const MIN_RELAY_TIME = (60 * 5); // only start re-relaying transactions after that many seconds @@ -116,11 +119,12 @@ namespace cryptonote return false; } + // fee per kilobyte, size rounded up. uint64_t fee = inputs_amount - outputs_amount; uint64_t needed_fee = blob_size / 1024; needed_fee += (blob_size % 1024) ? 1 : 0; needed_fee *= FEE_PER_KB; - if (!kept_by_block && fee < needed_fee /*&& fee < MINING_ALLOWED_LEGACY_FEE*/) + if (!kept_by_block && fee < needed_fee) { LOG_PRINT_L1("transaction fee is not enough: " << print_money(fee) << ", minimum fee: " << print_money(needed_fee)); tvc.m_verifivation_failed = true; @@ -135,7 +139,9 @@ namespace cryptonote return false; } - //check key images for transaction if it is not kept by block + // if the transaction came from a block popped from the chain, + // don't check if we have its key images as spent. + // TODO: Investigate why not? if(!kept_by_block) { if(have_tx_keyimges_as_spent(tx)) @@ -163,9 +169,10 @@ namespace cryptonote CRITICAL_REGION_LOCAL(m_transactions_lock); if(!ch_inp_res) { + // if the transaction was valid before (kept_by_block), then it + // may become valid again, so ignore the failed inputs check. if(kept_by_block) { - //anyway add this transaction to pool, because it related to block auto txd_p = m_transactions.insert(transactions_container::value_type(id, tx_details())); CHECK_AND_ASSERT_MES(txd_p.second, false, "transaction already exists at inserting in memory pool"); txd_p.first->second.blob_size = blob_size; @@ -207,13 +214,14 @@ namespace cryptonote tvc.m_should_be_relayed = true; } + // assume failure during verification steps until success is certain tvc.m_verifivation_failed = true; - //update image_keys container, here should everything goes ok. + BOOST_FOREACH(const auto& in, tx.vin) { CHECKED_GET_SPECIFIC_VARIANT(in, const txin_to_key, txin, false); std::unordered_set& kei_image_set = m_spent_key_images[txin.k_image]; - CHECK_AND_ASSERT_MES(kept_by_block || kei_image_set.size() == 0, false, "internal error: keeped_by_block=" << kept_by_block + CHECK_AND_ASSERT_MES(kept_by_block || kei_image_set.size() == 0, false, "internal error: kept_by_block=" << kept_by_block << ", kei_image_set.size()=" << kei_image_set.size() << ENDL << "txin.k_image=" << txin.k_image << ENDL << "tx_id=" << id ); auto ins_res = kei_image_set.insert(id); @@ -223,7 +231,7 @@ namespace cryptonote tvc.m_verifivation_failed = false; m_txs_by_fee.emplace((double)blob_size / fee, id); - //succeed + return true; } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -235,6 +243,9 @@ namespace cryptonote return add_tx(tx, h, blob_size, tvc, keeped_by_block, relayed, version); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + //FIXME: Can return early before removal of all of the key images. + // At the least, need to make sure that a false return here + // is treated properly.
