Use `int32_t` type for most transaction size/weight values #23962

hebasto · 2022-01-03T17:58:00Z

From #23957 which has been incorporated into this PR:

A file-wide suppression is problematic because it will wave through future violations, potentially bugs.

Fix that by using per-statement casts.

This refactor doesn't change behavior because the now explicit casts were previously done implicitly.

Similar to commit 8b5a4de

maflcko · 2022-01-04T09:44:17Z

Concept ACK. Could squash, given that the other pull was closed?

Things to look out for in review:

On 32-bit this will potentially (minimally) reduce the number of txs that fit into the mempool
types in cstdint aren't type safe and call sites will need to be reviewed as well

Concept ACK

I think it makes sense to use int64_t consistently for all transaction sizes.

I have yet to thoroughly review the file to check if all the transaction size variables are correctly covered in this PR; I still find some that could use a proper type assignment.

Here. The type of entry_size can be changed to int64_t. This will lead to making appropriate changes at the other places in the file.
Here. Type of totalSizeWithAncestors could be changed.

Btw I was curious about one thing. In line 232 in this file, there is implicit typecasting occurring:

totalSizeWithAncestors += stageit->GetTxSize();

because type of totalSizeWithAncestors is size_t and return type of GetTxSize() is changed to int64_t in this PR (line 114) . Shouldn't it cause implicit-conversion-warning for this.

glozow

Concept ACK to unifying types for transaction sizes. But if we're going to do this, why use a signed type? We don't have negative sizes, do we?

maflcko · 2022-01-04T16:54:14Z

Concept ACK to unifying types for transaction sizes. But if we're going to do this, why use a signed type? We don't have negative sizes, do we?

The rule of thumb is to use signed types for anything that involves arithmetic operations (addition or subtraction). Obviously the standard library doesn't make that easy with size_t being unsigned.

Concept NACK [edit: to 64-bit sizes, which this PR no longer is]. This wastes memory for no benefit - we should probably go to int32_t instead.

Transactions should never approach 2 GB, and it doesn't make sense to calculate a sum that large either (the largest package that could fit in a block is 4 MB).

If using int32_t produces warnings somewhere, those warnings are probably real issues that should be fixed.

hebasto · 2022-01-24T22:33:54Z

Updated 39c82fa -> 295a4f0 (pr23962.02 -> pr23962.03):

rebased
addressed @luke-jr's comment:

@shaavan

I think it makes sense to use int64_t consistently for all transaction sizes.

You are right. But such a pr could be unmanageable in size. So here, in the first commit, the minimal set of changes included which makes the second commit possible and concise. Other changes left for follow ups.

hebasto · 2022-01-25T09:23:44Z

Rebased 295a4f0 -> 960f996 (pr23962.03 -> pr23962.04) due to the conflict with #21464.

shaavan

Changes since my review:

Replaced int64_t with int32_t for the transaction variables. This is done for the reason suggested in this comment, with which I agree.
Rebased over the current master.

I observed the following implicit conversion warning:

Ideally, this needs to be addressed by changing the ancestor_size_limit to int32_t and making other subsequent changes. But for this PR, we can go with at-place manual conversion, if that's possible.

@hebasto

You are right. But such a pr could be unmanageable in size. So here, in the first commit, the minimal set of changes included which makes the second commit possible and concise. Other changes left for follow ups.

That makes sense. Let's take up changing small sections of transaction_size variables one by one in follow-ups.

This change gets rid of a few casts and makes the following commit diff smaller.

src/kernel/mempool_entry.h


    uint64_t GetCountWithDescendants() const { return nCountWithDescendants; }
-    uint64_t GetSizeWithDescendants() const { return nSizeWithDescendants; }
+    int64_t GetSizeWithDescendants() const { return nSizeWithDescendants; }


Re-reviewing this basically from scratch, I stumble here. int32_t should be big enough to represent the weight of more than 5,000 max standard weight transactions. Are we actually bumping into overflow issues with int32_t somewhere for size with descendants?

I see that this was brought up before, so I assume it was left a 64-bit value to limit the scope of this PR. Is that right?

Are we actually bumping into overflow issues with int32_t somewhere for size with descendants?

I don't think so.

However, UBSan raises "signed-integer-overflow" warnings about nSizeWithAncestors += modifySize; etc.

Code review ACK 3ef756a. Since last review, just rebased with more type changes in test and tracing code

achow101 · 2023-06-12T21:52:20Z

ACK 3ef756a

achow101 · 2023-06-12T21:59:19Z

Something that just occurred to me: do/should we consider tracepoints to be a stable api? Since this changes the types for some of the tracepoints, this would ostensibly break any third party programs that rely on those tracepoints.

hebasto · 2023-06-13T06:06:22Z

The silent conflict with the #26531 has been resolved in the recent push. As this PR touches tracepoints now, @0xB10C @virtu maybe you want to look into it?

Something that just occurred to me: do/should we consider tracepoints to be a stable api?

No, we shouldn't. I think that classes like CTxMemPoolEntry and their public access method return types should be considered as mempool implementation details for all purposes. Maybe tracepoint docs need an explicit note about that?

0xB10C · 2023-06-13T14:14:18Z

ACK 3ef756a. I've focused my testing and code review on the tracepoint related changes. The docs, the test, and the mempool_monitor.py demo script are updated. I ran the interface_usdt_mempool.py test and the mempool_monitor.py script. The mempool_monitor.py output looks correct.

Something that just occurred to me: do/should we consider tracepoints to be a stable api?

No, we shouldn't. I think that classes like CTxMemPoolEntry and their public access method return types should be considered as mempool implementation details for all purposes.

The goal of the tracepoints is to expose implementation details. This means, if an implementation detail changes, the tracepoint interface can change too. As an extreme example: If we'd remove the mempool, we'd also drop the mempool tracepoints. Third party programs have to adapt in this case.
