This should fix a very rare travis failure in zapwallettxes, but
is also more correct, as you can currently race
ReacceptWalletTransactions with stop RPC calls to get bitcoind to
(IMO) eroneously return a non-0 exit code.
This patch adds an option to configure the name and/or directory of the
debug log.
The user can specify either a relative path, in which case the path
is relative to the data directory. They can also specify an absolute
path to put the log anywhere else in the file system.
PR #10286 introduced a few steps which are not robust to early shutdown
in initialization.
Stumbled upon this with #11781, not sure if there are other scenarios
that can trigger it, but it's harden against this in any case.
A) The changes in behavior are as follows:
1. Introduce logging category "none" as alias of "0" for
both RPC-logging and bitcoind "-debug" parameter.
2. Same as "0" is given to argument of "-debug",
if "none" or "0" is given to <include>, all other given logging
categories are ignored. The same is true for <exclude>.
(Before this PR, "0" was accepted but just be ignored itself.)
B) The changes in the help text are as follows:
1. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of <include> and
<exclude> to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
2. Delete text that describe restriction about libevent because
it's already allowed libevent logging to be updated during runtime.
3. Add a description for category "all", "1", "none" and "0".
4. Add "optional" to the help text of <include> and <exclude>.
5. Add missing new lines before "Argument:".
6. This RPC always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.
Move to AppInitServers. This doesn't have any effects on bitcoin behavior. It
was just strange to have this unrelated code in the middle or parameter
interaction.
If our tip hasn't updated in a while, that may be because our peers are
not relaying blocks to us that we would consider valid. Allow connection
to an additional outbound peer in that circumstance.
Also, periodically check to see if we are exceeding our target number of
outbound peers, and disconnect the one which has least recently
announced a new block to us (choosing the newest such peer in the case
of tie).
This is currently unused, but will by used by wallet to cache when
transactions are in the mempool, obviating the need for calls to
mempool from CWalletTx::InMempool()
Adds HasAllRelevantServices and GetRelevantServices, which check
for NETWORK|WITNESS.
This changes the following:
* Removes nRelevantServices from CConnman, disconnecting it a bit
more from protocol-level logic.
* Replaces our sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes logic with
simply always requiring WITNESS|NETWORK for outbound non-feeler
connections (feelers still only require NETWORK).
* This has the added benefit of removing nServicesExpected from
CNode - instead letting net_processing's VERSION message
handling simply check HasAllRelevantServices.
* This implies we believe WITNESS nodes to continue to be a
significant majority of nodes on the network, but also because
we cannot sync properly from !WITNESS nodes, it is strange to
continue using our valuable outbound slots on them.
* In order to prevent this change from preventing connection to
-connect= nodes which have !WITNESS, -connect nodes are now
given the "addnode" flag. This also allows outbound connections
to !NODE_NETWORK nodes for -connect nodes (which was already true
of addnodes).
* Has the (somewhat unintended) consequence of changing one of the
eviction metrics from the same
sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes metric to requiring
HasRelevantServices.
This should make NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED much simpler to implement.
Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.
Rationale:
- this init function can now open multiple wallets (hence
Wallet->Wallets)
- This is named as the antonym to CloseWallets(), which carries out the
opposite action.
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

This commit just moves a few function declarations and updates callers.
Function bodies are moved in two followup MOVEONLY commits.
This change is desirable because wallet.h/cpp are monolithic and hard to
navigate, so pulling things out and grouping together pieces of related
functionality should improve the organization.
Another proximate motivation is the wallet process separation work in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973, where (at least initially)
parameter parsing and fee estimation are still done in the main process rather
than the wallet process, and having functions that run in different processes
scrambled up throughout wallet.cpp is unnecessarily confusing.
Safemode is almost useless as is-- it only triggers in limited
cases most of which aren't even concerning. There have been
several proposals to remove it. But as a simpler, safer, and
more flexible first case, simply deactivate it by default.
Anyone who wants it can re-enable and know what they've signed up for.
This fixes a few cases where we should be treating a restart-after-
coinsviewdb-reset identically to a just-reset-coinsviewdb.
Thanks to @morcos for identifying the bug.
This more clearly uses fReindex vs fReset to make sure we're not
clearing our coinsdb needlessly when restarting after a reindex.
It also makes it so that restarting after shutting down mid-reindex
isn't treates specially at all during txdb loading code, as it
shouldn't be.
* Order chainstate init more logically - first all of the
blocktree-related loading, then coinsdb, then
pcoinsTip/chainActive. Only create objects as needed.
* More clearly document exactly what is and isn't called in
-reindex and -reindex-chainstate both with comments noting
calls as no-ops and by adding if guards.
* Move LoadGenesisBlock further down in init. This is a more logical
location for it, as it is after all of the blockindex-related
loading and checking, but before any of the UTXO-related loading
and checking.
* Move all of the VerifyDB()-related stuff into a -reindex +
-reindex-chainstate if guard. It couldn't do anything useful
as chainActive.Tip() would be null at this point anyway.
RewindBlockIndex works over both chainActive - disconnecting blocks
from the tip that need witness verification - and mapBlockIndex -
requiring redownload of blocks missing witness data.
It should never have been the case that the second half is skipped
if we're about to run -reindex-chainstate.
This gives LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
error message instead of the previous mysterious
assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.
This also calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
in ThreadImport before continuing init process.
