Remove GetAdjustedTime from init.cpp #23636

maflcko · 2021-11-30T14:48:53Z

It seems confusing to call GetAdjustedTime there, because no offset could have been retrieved from the network at this point. Even if connman was started, timedata needs at least 5 peer connections to calculate an offset.

Fix the confusion by replacing GetAdjustedTime with GetTime, which does not change behavior.

Also:

Replace magic number with MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME to clarify the context
Add test, which passes both on current master and this pull request
An unrelated refactoring commit, happy to drop

Also, add missing addrman.h includes

src/init.cpp

                        const CBlockIndex* tip = chainstate->m_chain.Tip();
                        RPCNotifyBlockChange(tip);
-                        if (tip && tip->nTime > GetAdjustedTime() + 2 * 60 * 60) {

Should we have some extra tolerance here in case the adjusted time had been forward a bit?

This pull request is a refactor and I recommend to do any behavior changes in separate pull requests.

I don't understand this: This PR argues that GetAdjustedTime() can't differ from GetTime() at this point in init, so I can't see how it could have been "forward a bit". Or do you mean the former adjusted time at the point in time when we validated the tip?

I confirmed that GetTime() and GetAdjustedTime() gives exactly same timestamp as output at this stage of init.cpp. So it makes sense to replace it with GetTime() to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Steps I took to confirm the above statement:

Apply following patch:

--- a/src/init.cpp
+++ b/src/init.cpp
@@ -1561,6 +1561,8 @@ bool AppInitMain(NodeContext& node, interfaces::BlockAndHeaderTipInfo* tip_info)

                         const CBlockIndex* tip = chainstate->m_chain.Tip();
                         RPCNotifyBlockChange(tip);
+                        LogPrintf("GetTime() value: %s\n", GetTime());
+                        LogPrintf("GetAdjustedTime() value: %s\n", GetAdjustedTime());
                         if (tip && tip->nTime > GetTime() + MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME) {

                             strLoadError = _("The block database contains a block which appears to be from the future. "
                                     "This may be due to your computer's date and time being set incorrectly. "

Compile and run bitcoind
cat ~/.bitcoin/debug.log and search for GetTime() in the displayed text.

Here’s the screenshot of my debug.log file:

The added test is logically correct and worked successfully on my PC for both the PR and Master branches.

Code review ACK fa551b3

Connman hasn't started at this point in init, so there's no way that GetAdjustedTime() can return a different value than GetTime().
