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 is necessary because core_write has to write amounts in
TxToUniv, and mistakingly uses FormatMoney for that
(which is only for debugging).
We don't move AmountFromValue at the same time, as
this is more challenging due to the RPCError depencency
there.
- Increase `BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` from 120GB to 150GB
- Increase `CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` from 2GB to 4GB
I took the local sizes of the blocks and chainstate directory, and added
a bit extra to accomodate the near future (15GB for the chain and 1GB
for the chainstate).
When running test_bitcoin under Valgrind I found the following issue:

The read of the uninitialized variable nLocalServices is triggered by g_connman->GetLocalServices()
in getnetworkinfo(const JSONRPCRequest& request) (net.cpp:462):
```c++
UniValue getnetworkinfo(const JSONRPCRequest& request)
{
...
if(g_connman)
obj.push_back(Pair("localservices", strprintf("%016x", g_connman->GetLocalServices())));
...
}
```
The reason for the uninitialized nLocalServices is that CConnman::Start(...) is not called
by the tests, and hence the initialization normally performed by CConnman::Start(...) is
not done.
This commit adds a method Init(const Options& connOptions) which is called by both the
constructor and CConnman::Start(...). This method initializes nLocalServices and the other
relevant values from the supplied Options object.
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.
This resolves a possible-assert-on-shutdown race introduced in
1f668b6468 when early shutdown
occurs.
Previously this was not done to avoid any cases where the
threadGroup might not exit due to a blocking thread, but at this
point the threadGroup isn't used all that much, plus Qt already
does this, and its good to keep their init/shutdown consistent.
For those curious, the threadGroup is only used in a few places:
* Its used to run the CCheckQueues in script validation, but these
use the boost mutex/condition variable primitives, so they
respect the interrupt pretty trivially.
* Its used for the import thread, which should exit rather quickly
as mostly it just calls LoadExternalBlockFile, which has an
interruption_point right before each block loaded.
* Its used in the scheduler thread, which is only used for:
* validationinterface has an effectively-dummy reference to it.
* wallet compaction, which should not last long
* addr/banlist dumping from CConnman, which should also be fast
Instead of using ismine to check whether an address can be spent by us,
make the witness version of the script or address first and then use
ProduceSignature with the DummySignatureCreator to check if we can
solve for the script.
Also fixes test cases to reflect this change.
* 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.
* Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a
bug introduced in d6af06d68a where
InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been
checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the
chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in
InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex
without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate!
* Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more
natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of
chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out
on every start.
Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.
Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.
