The existing spinlock code, used to protect SHAMapInnerNode
child lists, has a mistake that can allow the same child to
be repeatedly locked under some circumstances.
The bug was in the `SpinBitLock::lock` loop condition check
and would result in the loop terminating early.
This commit fixes this and further simplifies the lock loop
making the correctness of the code easier to verify without
sacrificing performance.
It also promotes the spinlock class from an implementation
detail to a more general purpose, easier to use lock class
with clearer semantics. Two different lock types now allow
developers to easily grab either a single spinlock from an
a group of spinlocks (packed in an unsigned integer) or to
grab all of the spinlocks at once.
While this commit makes spinlocks more widely available to
developers, they are rarely the best tool for the job. Use
them judiciously and only after careful consideration.
The amendment increases the maximum sign of an account's signer
list from 8 to 32.
Like all new features, the associated amendment is configured with
a default vote of "no" and server operators will have to vote for
it explicitly if they believe it is useful.
* Abort background path finding when closed or disconnected
* Exit pathfinding job thread if there are no requests left
* Don't bother creating the path find job if there are no requests
* Refactor to remove circular dependency between InfoSub and PathRequest
The existing trust line caching code was suboptimal in that it stored
redundant information, pinned SLEs into memory and required multiple
memory allocations per cached object.
This commit eliminates redundant data, reducing the size of cached
objects and unpinning SLEs from memory, and uses value_types to
avoid the need for `std::shared_ptr`. As a result of these changes, the
effective size of a cached object, includes the overhead of the memory
allocator and the `std::shared_ptr` should be reduced by at least 64
bytes. This is significant, as there can easily be tens of millions
of these objects.
In order to preserve the Hooks ABI, it is important that field
values used for hooks be stable going forward.
This commit reserves the required codes so that they will not
be repurposed before Hooks can be proposed for inclusion in
the codebase.
* Remove Application & Database dependency in PerfLog. Replace it with
a callback passed into the constructor.
* Fixes the circular dependency between ripple/nodestore and ripple/basics
This commit implements partitioned unordered maps and makes it possible
to traverse such a map in parallel, allowing for more efficient use of
CPU resources.
The `CachedSLEs`, `TaggedCache`, and `KeyCache` classes make use of the
new functionality, which should improve performance.
The existing logic involves every server sending every transaction
that it receives to all its peers (except the one that it received
a transaction from).
This commit instead uses a randomized algorithm, where a node will
randomly select peers to relay a given transaction to, caching the
list of transaction hashes that are not relayed and forwading them
to peers once every second. Peers can then determine whether there
are transactions that they have not seen and can request them from
the node which has them.
It is expected that this feature will further reduce the bandwidth
needed to operate a server.
While most of the code associated with secp256k1 operations had
been migrated to libsecp256k1, the deterministic key derivation
code was still using calls to OpenSSL.
If merged, this commit replaces the OpenSSL-based routines with
new libsecp256k1-based implementations. No functional change is
expected and the change should be transparent.
This commit also removes several support classes and utility
functions that wrapped or adapted various OpenSSL types that
are no longer needed.
A tip of the hat to the original author of this truly superb
library, Dr. Pieter Wuille, and to all other contributors.
The existing class offered several constructors which were mostly
unnecessary. This commit eliminates all existing constructors and
introduces a single new one, taking a `Slice`.
The internal buffer is switched from `std::vector` to `Buffer` to
save a minimum of 8 bytes (plus the buffer slack that is inherent
in `std::vector`) per SHAMapItem instance.
Add support to allow multiple indepedent nodes to produce a binary identical
shard for a given range of ledgers. The advantage is that servers can use
content-addressable storage, and can more efficiently retrieve shards by
downloading from multiple peers at once and then verifying the integrity of
a shard by cross-checking its checksum with the checksum other servers report.
